The United Crabryan Duchy (Alman: Vereinigtes Krabrisches Herzogtum, Karnetvorian: Объединенное Крабрийское Герцогство, Garanian: 크라브리 연합 공국), was a short-lived unrecognized state located in modern-day Kliegme that was proclaimed by the local Kliegmean Alman nobility and participated in the Kliegmean War of Independence.
Background
As the Allies began to turn the tides of the Great War, Karnetvorian forces were being pushed back from their outermost territories. The defeats in Clocktown and elsewhere led to the revolt of the Karnetvorian Dominion of Crabry. The governor, Dmitry Pavlov, negotiated the creation of the Kliegmean Provisional Government which consisted of former Imperial officials and signed an armistice in Myurmyansk, ending the war in Crabry. However, the Allies distrusted the Provisional Government, namely due to its ties to former Karnetvorian officials.
Eventually, the territory of Karnetvorian Crabry was occupied by a Frost-led contingency, hoping to destroy any Karnetvorian influence in the territory. Fears quickly spread within the local Almannic nobility of Kliegme regarding possible retaliations against them for collaboration with the Karnetvorians and their Almannic ethnicity.

Government
The United Crabryan Duchy is classified as a Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy with a unicameral legislature. The Grand Duke of All-Crabry is the monarch of United Crabryan Duchy, acting as the head of state and the military. The head of government is the President (or Hauptmann) of the Diet, and chooses the members of the ministries.
The Legislature, known as the Diet of the United Crabryan Duchy, is made up of 120 seats, many of which are not elected. 50 of the 120 seats were given to the landowning nobles (collectively known as the Junkers), while another 15 seats are delegated to ethnic minority candidates. Minority candidates are also allowed to run for the remainder 55 seats.
Military
The Crabryan Ducal Corps (Alman: Krabrisches Herzogliches Korps; KHK) acted as the United Crabryan Duchy's military. The unit was primarily the result of the consolidation of several selbstschutz (self-defense) organizations which defended the Alman civilians from any Frostian aggression, with the consolidation being supported by the Kliegmean Alman nobility.
