Altınkale — "the golden fortress" — is a maritime state of beys, viziers and janissaries.
Government
The state is ruled by the bey; his chief adviser is the vizier. Decrees and news are published by the newspaper Altınkale Bugün.
The Tartarian campaign
On 20 May 2026 a detachment of janissaries landed on the shore of Tartaria, a small village to the north. They met no resistance — by the vizier's account, a lone fisherman and a couple of sheep. A capitulation was signed, Tartaria was demilitarised and entered the state under a new name: Sınırdağı, "the border mountain".
The plans for the new lands: a fortified port for the whole fleet, and a new centre closer to the sea.
Neighbours
A canal being built by Katurey will give Altınkale a direct water route to its western neighbour.
