Jashnagar, officially the Transcendent Kingdom of Jashnagar, is a country in Greater Olympus. Located in Southeast Nori, Jashnagar shares maritime borders with Agrurg, Kiteahu, and Tauke Manuye. An exclusively island nation, Jashnagar is composed of thousands of islands that make up the Jashnagari Archipelago, and is located completely in the Oceanus Magnostrium.

The sovereign state is a Theocratic-Ecclesiocracy ruled by current or former members of the Anomai clergy, with an elected legislature. It is notable as a nation combining religious and secular law into its framework, and on top of being an independent country, also wields Ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the Anomai faith worldwide. Both the A'sina and Bas'kan are considered not only the formal leaders of Jashnagar, but also of the Anomai church.

Jashnagar has notable natural resources in the forms of tin and oil. The nation's economy is built primarily on agriculture, where crops such as rice, coffee, tea, palm oil, spices, copra, tropical fruits, and ornamental flowers are the main exports of the economy. Jashnagar has a GDP of of 161 billion and hosts the 27th largest economy in the world. Tourism plays a large part in the national economy, where historical, religious, cultural, eco, and resort tourism is growing in size.

The Jashnagari archipelago has a long history of feuding states and kingdoms, and is tied closely to the history of southeast Nori and the Oceanus Magnostrium. Jashnagari sailors mastered the art of wayfinding navigation and out-rigger construction, allowing travel of far distances and used these inventions for trade and settlement both west and eastward. In the 11th and 12th centuries, the Anomai faith had become widespread and drastically influenced political and cultural life. The later medieval period saw the expansion of larger states and foreign crusades launched against neighboring lands, with conflict arising against the newly arrived Liran powers. The archipelago was politically unified in the early 18th century by King Ilo'gnara, formerly bringing the nation under a religiously sanctioned monarchy till the late 19th century. The modern state emerged in the 1920s, ruling an instability racked country till the 1980s.

Etymology

The name Jashnagar stems from the Lorian language and the discovery of the archipelago by Liran explorers. Jash being the name of the dominant ethnic group to inhabit the more developed northern portion of the archipelago, and nagar meaning "whole" or "mass" in the Jash language.

The native name, an admixture of native languages, translates into "The Great Gate that Ilo'lo built for God" (Lit: "Great Gate of Ilo'lo God"). This name came to be applied when Jashnagar became a united country under the Ilo'lo dynasty in the 18th century. With the A'sina guiding the Ilo'lo kings in matters of religion and the Anomai faith becoming incorporated into law, the country was seen as divinely inspired and sanctioned.

The nation is often referred to as just Yam'gonra or "Great Gate".

Government and Politics

Jashnagar is a theocratic-ecclesiocracy, with the current government established in 1988. The foundations for the modern government officially extend to the establishment of the united kingdom of Jashnagar in the early 18th century, when King Ilo'gnara affirmed the A'sina of Yuram's position alongside the kingship as spiritual ruler of Jashnagar. Prior to this, the
