'''Verdonia''' ({{wp|Dutch language|Hennish}}: ''Groenië''; {{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''Verdonie''), known officially as the '''Federal Republic of Verdonia''' ({{wp|Dutch language|Hennish}}: ''Bondsrepubliek Groenië''; {{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''République fédérale de Verdonie'') is a sovereign nation in [[Kylaris]] located just off the main continent of [[Asteria Inferior]] on an [[Verdonia (island)|island of the same name]]. Situated at the mouth of the [[Arucian Sea]] the country borders [[Nuvania]] to the northeast, across the [[Strait of Karmigel]]. Its capital is [[Voorst-Montrame (city)|Voorst-Montramé]] which is also its largest city, a major economic hub, and one of many cultural centers throughout the country.
'''The Kuthbane''' ({{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''le Koutbanie''; {{wp|Arabic language|Rahelian}}: ''الكوثبان'' {{wp|transliteration|tl.}} ''al-Kothbin''; {{wp|Oromo language|Gamra}}: ''Caalaamaansa''; {{wp|Berber languages|Tiheyâgh}}: ''Uⵏⵏⵉⴳⵉⵉⴷⵉ'' {{wp|transliteration|tl.}} ''Unnigiidi''), known officially as the '''Federation of the Kuthbane''' ({{wp|french language|Gaullican}}: ''Fédération des Koutbanie''; {{wp|Arabic language|Rahelian}}: ''اتحاد الكوثبين'' {{wp|transliteration|tl.}} ''Athad al-Kothbin''; {{wp|Berber languages|Tiheyâgh}}: ''ⵄⴼⵉⴷⵉⵕⴰⵍⵉⴷⵓ ⴷⴻⴳ Uⵏⵏⵉⴳⵉⵉⴷⵉ'' {{wp|transliteration|tl.}} ''Afidiṛalidu deg Unnigiidi'', is a {{wp|sovereignty|sovereign}} landlocked nation located in [[Bahia]] on the continent of [[Coius]]. It borders [[Tsabara]], [[Nise]], and [[Zorasan]] to the west, [[Mabifia]] to the south, [[Yemet]] and [[Bamvango]] to the east, and [[xx]] to the north.  Kuthbane has an estimated population of 
35,489,980, making it the XXth largest country in Coius and the XXXth largest in [[Kylaris|the world]]. It has a total land area of XXXXXXXkm2 (XXXXXXXsqmmi) making it the XXth largest in Coius and the XXXth largest in the world. A {{wp|federalism|federal}} {{wp|presidential system|presidential}} {{wp|republic}}, Kuthbane's capital, largest city, and political center is the city of [[Bahire]].


The first known records and evidence of human habitation in the area that would become modern-day Verdonia date back to 11,200 BCE, with indigenous tribes moving into the region from the mainland and establishing limited settlements. Major civilizations that rose included the NAME, NAME, and NAME, who would eventually unite to form a nonhereditary monarchy known as the NAME in 1375. Hennish explorers landed on the island in 1530, fully cementing control over major parts of the area by 1670 and using it to attempt to leverage greater control the flow of traffic and trade at the mouth of the Arucian. Gaullican, Weranian, and Estmerish explorers and merchants began landing on other parts of the island, establishing rival claims and founding their own settlements. Hennehouwe was able to retain full control over the island by 1700, but transferred the region to Estmere alongside neighboring Nuvania in 1720. The region continued to be used largely as an agricultural and mineral producing region as well as a naval waystation. The region was reorganized into a [[Dominion of Verdonia|dominion]] in 1820, and by 1890 home rule was granted. Gaining independence by 1894, the region quickly became dominated by conservative, pro-Hennish, and pro-Gaullican interests, though the country retained close ties to Hennehouwe and Euclea. These interests diverged as the outbreak of the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] neared, with relations between Gaullican and Hennish citizens plunging following the [[Hennehouwe Crisis]]. The crisis, and subsequent manuvers of the Verdonian government to align with the [[Grand Alliance]], led to the pro-Gaullican [[Fatherland Action (political party)|Fatherland Action]] party and [[National Legion]] paramilitary militia seizing power in a [[Verdonian Revolution of 1928|revolution]], establishing [[Legionary Verdonia|a civic-military client government]]. The new regime officially joined the [[Entente]] the following year, albeit in a limited capacity, sending expeditionary forces and aiding the Gaullican and other Entente navies in trade interdiction in the region.
The Kuthbane has been the crossroads of many empires and cultural groups, both [[Rahelia|Rahelian]] and [[Bahia|Bahian]], for millennium. As such the region was the source of many trading empires throughout history, with the [[Gounga Empire|Goungan]] and [[Jibeta Empire|Jibeta]] being particularly prominant. The powerful [[Noble tribes of the Kuthbane|tribal groups]] and [[Noble clans of the Kuthbane|clans]] of the region would eventually unify under the [[Kingdom of Koumtine]] in the mid-12th century. Though imperial dynasties and power structures would change over time the region remained largely prosperous until the end of the Bahian slave trade, which the Koumtineans had largely facilitated, resulted in the collapse of regional economic structures and trade. The region would be seized by [[Euclea|Euclean]] powers shortly thereafter, coming largely under the authority of [[Gaullica]]. The region would be heavily utilized for both its mineral and human resources, with the many in the region serving in the ranks of Gaullican {{wp|Askari}}. This trend would only heighten during the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] as the region saw significant fighting between the forces of the [[Entente]] and [[Grand Alliance]] powers. Following the conclusion of the war the region entered a period of [[Sors Sors Uprising|heavy instability]], with the population largely united in vying for independence. This independence would be secured in the year 19XX with the [[Fort Batteaux Agreement (Kuthbane)|Fort Batteaux Agreement]], creating the Federation of the Kuthbane.


Following the collapse of the [[Entente]] forces throughout the Asterias, and with encroachment by Grand Alliance forces increasing by the day, moderates within the regimes' [[Supreme High Council of State (Verdonia)|upper echelons]] conducted a [[1935 Verdonian coup d'etat|coup d'etat]] with the rushed help of [[Verdonian resistance|resistance]] forces. The subsequent [[Verdonian Provisional Government|government]], existing under a power-sharing agreement, re-aligned itself with the Grand Alliance for the remainder of the war. The country quickly collapsed into [[Verdonian Civil War|crisis]] following the war's end, with then head of state [[Jan-Pieter Huizinga]] forced to utilize {{wp|Temporary Provisions against the Communist Rebellion|extraordinary}} {{wp|Enabling Act of 1933|measures}} in order to maintain stability. The post-war, post-crisis years under Huizinga and the [[Verdonian Unionist Party]] led to significant economic liberalization and growth, though the country remained highly regulated {{wp|Paternalism|socially}} and {{wp|guided democracy|politically}} -- maintaining one of the highest number of prisoners per capita in the region for many years. Nevertheless, Huizinga became a ''de-facto'' {{wp|benevolent dictatorship|benevolent dictator}}. The country was greatly reformed as the government pursued policies of economic, cultural, and linguistic consociationalism known as [[Huizingaism]], many of the tenets of which the country still abides by.
Independence would not come with prosperity however, with many of the country's institutions struggling to cope with the strains of sovereignty. This, alongside long-standing political, ethnic, and religious tensions, would see the country fall into [[First Kuthbani Civil War|civil war]] by 1965. The civil war, which was marked by both ethnic and religious violence on all sides, would result in a government heavily dominated by {{wp|Arabs|Rahelians}}, {{wp|Berber peoples|Tiheyâgh}}, {{wp|Afro-Arabs|Bahio-Rahelians}}, and [[Irfan|Irfanics]]—predominantly from the northern and southwestern regions of the country—under the militia leader [[Abdul Noor al-Hosseini]]. Al-Hosseini's rule would see heavy favoritism towards his local power bases, tribes, and clans to the detriment of the country's [[Sotirianity|Sotirian]], [[Bahia|Bahian]], and sedentary agriculturalist segments of the population. He would be assassinated by [[Movement for Democratic Liberation-Front for Bahian Freedom|pro-Bahian rebels]] in 1979. His death would leave a significant power vacuum within the country, and the subsequent backlash by al-Hosseini supporters within both the civilian population and the armed forces would plunge the country into a [[Second Kuthbani Civil War|second civil war]]. This conflict would last significantly longer, resulting in the fragementation of the central government into various factions, and see numerous ethic and religious massacres on both sides. The conflict would only be brought to an end by the [[CITY Accords]] in 1992, backed by both the [[Community of Nations]] and regional powers. The accords, which installed a power-sharing government of national unity, weigh heavily on the modern-day political system of the country. Additionally significant are CoN peacekeepers who still patrol segments of the country as well.


In the last years of Huizinga's rule he laid the groundworks for democratic reforms and free elections, ultimately dying in 1978, with the Unionist Party dissolving shortly thereafter. Following Huizinga's death the country continued to liberalize, albeit slowly, becoming a 'full' democracy by 1989. Since then the country has continued to struggle with corruption as well as organized crime syndicates, with many governments on both sides of the political aisle collapsing in scandal. Elections in 2015 led to electoral victory for the [[National People's Rally]], the current party in power, installing [[Hendricus van de Vijver]] as [[Chancellor of Verdonia|Chancellor]].

The Kuthbane (Gaullican: le Koutbanie; Rahelian: الكوثبان tl. al-Kothbin; Gamra: Caalaamaansa; Tiheyâgh: Uⵏⵏⵉⴳⵉⵉⴷⵉ tl. Unnigiidi), known officially as the Federation of the Kuthbane (Gaullican: Fédération des Koutbanie; Rahelian: اتحاد الكوثبين tl. Athad al-Kothbin; Tiheyâgh: ⵄⴼⵉⴷⵉⵕⴰⵍⵉⴷⵓ ⴷⴻⴳ Uⵏⵏⵉⴳⵉⵉⴷⵉ tl. Afidiṛalidu deg Unnigiidi, is a sovereign landlocked nation located in Bahia on the continent of Coius. It borders Tsabara, Nise, and Zorasan to the west, Mabifia to the south, Yemet and Bamvango to the east, and xx to the north. Kuthbane has an estimated population of 35,489,980, making it the XXth largest country in Coius and the XXXth largest in the world. It has a total land area of XXXXXXXkm2 (XXXXXXXsqmmi) making it the XXth largest in Coius and the XXXth largest in the world. A federal presidential republic, Kuthbane's capital, largest city, and political center is the city of Bahire.

The Kuthbane has been the crossroads of many empires and cultural groups, both Rahelian and Bahian, for millennium. As such the region was the source of many trading empires throughout history, with the Goungan and Jibeta being particularly prominant. The powerful tribal groups and clans of the region would eventually unify under the Kingdom of Koumtine in the mid-12th century. Though imperial dynasties and power structures would change over time the region remained largely prosperous until the end of the Bahian slave trade, which the Koumtineans had largely facilitated, resulted in the collapse of regional economic structures and trade. The region would be seized by Euclean powers shortly thereafter, coming largely under the authority of Gaullica. The region would be heavily utilized for both its mineral and human resources, with the many in the region serving in the ranks of Gaullican Askari. This trend would only heighten during the Great War as the region saw significant fighting between the forces of the Entente and Grand Alliance powers. Following the conclusion of the war the region entered a period of heavy instability, with the population largely united in vying for independence. This independence would be secured in the year 19XX with the Fort Batteaux Agreement, creating the Federation of the Kuthbane.

Independence would not come with prosperity however, with many of the country's institutions struggling to cope with the strains of sovereignty. This, alongside long-standing political, ethnic, and religious tensions, would see the country fall into civil war by 1965. The civil war, which was marked by both ethnic and religious violence on all sides, would result in a government heavily dominated by Rahelians, Tiheyâgh, Bahio-Rahelians, and Irfanics—predominantly from the northern and southwestern regions of the country—under the militia leader Abdul Noor al-Hosseini. Al-Hosseini's rule would see heavy favoritism towards his local power bases, tribes, and clans to the detriment of the country's Sotirian, Bahian, and sedentary agriculturalist segments of the population. He would be assassinated by pro-Bahian rebels in 1979. His death would leave a significant power vacuum within the country, and the subsequent backlash by al-Hosseini supporters within both the civilian population and the armed forces would plunge the country into a second civil war. This conflict would last significantly longer, resulting in the fragementation of the central government into various factions, and see numerous ethic and religious massacres on both sides.

The accords, which installed a power-sharing government of national unity, weigh heavily on the modern-day political system of the country. Additionally significant are CoN peacekeepers who still patrol segments of the country as well.
