Dhitra (Dhitrian :دهیترا), officially the Sublime State of Dhitra (Dhitrian :دولت علیّه دهیترا) is a country in Southern Sythith, bordering _ and _. Dhitra is home to 37,252,629 inhabitants, making it one of the most populous in the continent; however, most of this population is concentrated on the coasts and surrounding areas of the capital city, Elahieh, which is the cultural, economical and political centre of the country.

The territory in which Dhitra is settled today has been hoe to some of the oldest recorded civilisations in Astyria. The history of the nation is believed to have its roots in the formation of several kingdoms with tribal backgrounds. These kingdoms kept an active internal life, with the use of agriculture and farming as a method of subsistence and power over the others. The territory saw its first unification during the 7th century BC under the Khaledi tribes, originals from the south of Dhitra but that expanded across most of Dhitra. However, the great extension but lack of efficient dominance over some of the tribes that inhabited their lands made the Khaledis fall. The territory continued living divided in small merchant kingdoms throughout most of the time until the formation of the Abassi's Empire, which extended its dominance for the next centuries. Following the Islamization of Dhitra during the 8th and 9th centuries, Dhitra experienced a moment of social stability and knowledge development, creating the empire in an important centre of Islamic culture and learning and exporting its traditions through many trade routes that connected Dhitra with Hindia Belanda and Maqtajer. With the pass of the time, the Abassi Empire saw the formation of many muslim dynasties, until around the 14th century, the Fathis reached power and consolidated the first unitarian state. During their reign, the Fathis expanded the idea of a common culture, language and national identity. Moreover, the population saw a gradual conversion to Esoteric Shi'ism.

Despite its coast hosting important ports in the region, Dhitra avoided Exponential and Lorecian invasions at the cost of several wars and conflicts. However, foreign influence increased with the time and during the 19th and 20th century, the country lived many social transformations that assimilated its society with those from other Astyrian cultural powers. In 1902, the Taheri dynasty took the power of the Dhitran crown after the abdication of the previous monarch due to the social pressure during the 1902 Revolution, where the Dhitran population demanded for a less authoritarian government. The Shah Aref Taheri signed in 1902 the first Dhitran Constitution, which also created the Parliament of Dhitra. During most of the 20th century, Ditrah saw the discovery of vast natural gas and oil reserves, which expanded welfare and wealth. During the 40's, the Shah Aref Taheri died and his son, Hossein Taheri ascended to the throne; during his reign, Dhitra saw a moment of expansion of its social legislation, which increased the role of women in society, and industrial and economic capacity. In 1990, the death of Hossein Taheri opened a new chapter in the history of Dhitra, with a woman ascending to the throne.

Ditrah is today a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, in which the Shahbanu or Shah is considered the Head of State and the Prime Minister the Head of Government. It is a regionally important nation, with an active role on the foreign scenario. It is a member of the _, the _ and the _.

Modern period

The 20th Century started in Dhitra with a convulsive national scenario. The ruling Yazdani dynasty, which had been ruling Dhitra since the early 16th century under the form of an absolute monarchy, started to see the end of its reign as protests began to sparkle in Elahieh and other important urban poles mainly demanding democratic institutions and better living conditions. The events, which are commonly framed as the Revolution of 1902 in Dhitra, concluded with the formal abdication of the Yazdani Shah and the exile of his family in Nidwalden, in their place, the Taheri dynasty assumed the Dhitran throne with the Shah Aref Taheri as head. During his reign, Dhitra started to acquire regional attention as his reforms included the first constitution of the country, the creation of the Parliament of Dhitra and the office of the Prime Minister.

However, despite the reforms that could allow a democratic openness of the society, life in Dhitra continued being difficult for the many, specially outside Elahieh, where famines and poverty were considered to be issues commonly faced by the population. In 1915, Faramarz Vahdat, assumed as the first Prime Minister to be from the Constitutionalist Party; during his administration, the government led a heavy industrialisation process aimed to bring wealth and welfare to the society together with an important process of cultural assimilation with Lorecian societies, specially from the upper-classes. The period saw an expansion of many Lorecian interests in the country, specially from Noordenstaat, whose large influence as a colonial power in Sythith started later to be seen as a problem in Dhitra. Vahdat, during his seven years administration was also responsible of the expansion of infrastructure in the country and the start of a prosperity period based on the abundance of work. However, the lack of social programs and the role of the National Front as defender of the national interests made the party return to the administration with Habib Tarokh in 1922.

Tarokh's administration, who was also responsible of leading Dhitra through the Great Astyrian War, started a process of strong nationalisation of foreign factories which eventually concluded in a import substitution industrialisation mainly due to Lorecia's conditions during the war. Habib Tarokh's administration was also the longest in Dhitran political history, spanning from 1922 to 1932. War things here. During his term, the foreign policy remained heavily aligned to aim the independence of the surrounding colonies in the continent.

Main article: Politics of Dhitra

Dhitra is a unitary parliamentary democracy, which take place under a constitutional monarchy, where the Shah or Shahbanu, Dhitran for Emperor and Empress, is the Head of State and the Prime Minister, the Head of Government. The Constitution of Dhitra was signed after the Revolution of 1902, in which to continue reigning, the Taheri dynasty allowed concessions that permitted a gradual increase on the democratic quality of the country; prior to that date, Dhitra was considered an absolute monarchy and the power of the Emperor or Empress had no limits. The current Empress is the Shahbanu Mahya Taheri, first female to be Head of State in Dhitra's history; she was crowned after her husband's death, the Shah Hossein Taheri. The Prime Minister is the person who leads Dhitra's government, the office is elected by universal suffrage and although the Shahbanu calls for new elections approximately every five years, administrations do not have term limits. The current Prime Minister is Ahmad Mehrian, who has been in the position since May 2017, he is leader of the National Front, the largest political force in the current legislature.

View of the Parliament of Dhitra from outside

Power in Dhitra is divided in the three branches, executive, judiciary and legislative. The executive power is vested on the Monarch, the Prime Minister and his or her cabinet. The election of a Prime Minister happens shortly after the elections in which a new legislature is inaugurated with seats allocated depending on the number of votes for each party, the largest political force is in charge of proposing a leader who will be in charge of forming a coalition to be appointed by the Monarch to command the confidence of the whole legislature. The legislative is vested on the Parliament of Dhitra, a bicameral legislature composed by 443 members divided between the Upper House (_105 members) and the Lower House (_338 members). Members from the Lower House are elected during general or parliamentary elections, both called by the monarch under the advise of the Prime Minister. The Parliament of Dhitra is considered to be a de facto unicameral legislature, given the importance of its lower house and the mostly traditional use of the upper house, where members are not elected. Parliamentarians are responsible of handing confidence to the Prime Minister and his or her cabinet but also of issuing motions of no confidence, forcing the removal of independent ministers or of the whole government.

Despite others countries, Dhitra is considered to be a young democracy, functioning only since the signing of the first Constitution in 1902. In Dhitran daily political life, the role of the Shahbanu and Imperial Family has been restricted over the years; however, these still are granted more power in general than in other Astyrian nations. In practice, the Shahbanu and other members of her family are usually seen as the face of Dhitra overseas. The political scene is rooted in a multi-party system, with traditional political parties and newer ones being represented in local councils and the Parliament; for most of its democratic life, Dhitra has been governed by the National Front, a liberal party of centre-right alignment, other important parties include Labour, which leads the opposition, the Constitutionalist Party and the Liberal Democrats.
