Kurzhistan, formally known as the Kurzhi People's Republic of Kurzhistan, is a Country located in the region of Central Thrismari inside the continent of Thrismari on Anteria. It is geographically located in the Central Thrismarian highlands, and borders Bashkaristan to its north, Abjekistan to its West and Encessia to its south. Kurzhistan has a population of 35.5 million people as of 2022.

Buznar is the capital and Gulnar is the largest city of the country. Kurzhistan comprises of Twenty six provinces and five districts of importance.

Etymology

Kurzhistan is the common name utilised for the Kurzhi People's Republic of Kurzhistan and has been regarded as the only name that the nation is known as, however that couldnt be further from the truth, Kurzhistan's original termology stems from the yaddak era, when the area was known as Qurzi-sthan or land of the Qurz which was the yaddak abbreviation for the Kurzh People.

As time went on however, the Yaddak's gradually latinised the name, and Qurz became Kurzh while Qurz-sthan came to be known as Kurzhi-stan or Land of the Kurzh, this termiology continued and the region came to be called by its latinized version, i.e Kurzhistan, instead of the generic Qurzsthan, which happened mostly due to the passage of time and the changing linguistics of the abjekh people with names being made easier to memorise and to pronounce, so that administrative works could be easily done.

However, even after kurzhi's won their independence from the yaddaks in the 1910's, this termiology of the yaddaks continued, and the Qurzi's identified themselves as Kurzhi's and their nation as Kurzhi-stan rather than Qurzi-sthan mostly due to the cultural influence of the abjekhs on the kurzhi's as a result of a prolonged administration of kurzhi areas, by the abjekhi royal government that went on for several centuries.

Geography

Political geography

Kurzhistan is located in Central Thrismari, just beside of the Marmor Sea. It is bordered by the Great golden raj to the north, Abjekistan to the west and southwest, Encessia to the south west, and hold's out as one of the largest state's located entirely inside the continent of thrismari.

Kurzhistan is divided into twenty one provinces. The Provinces are divided into a total of seventy two districts, which are further divided into sub-districts. The capital Buznar is the second largest city in Kurzhistan, and the metropolitan area is a province on its own. Gultan is in northern Kurzhistan which is the largest city. Buznar and Hazrat are Kurhzistan's main ports on the Marmor Sea.

Physical geography

Kurzhistan's geographic landscape is far more complicated than one might assume at first, with most simply dismissing kurzhistan as a land of deserts and sand dunes, For starters, Kurzhistan lies on the central thrismarian highlands, which cover the central regions of thrismari, with its own steppes and desert regions, among which the most iconic are the Dehrani-Al-Sahmar Steppes, which serve as the major pasture grounds for the domesticated cattles of the kurzhi tribals and village folk.

The Dehrani-Al-Sahmar covers an area of about 200,000+ km sq, out of which, most of which is located in the western and north eastern parts of the nation, these are major pasture sites and farming areas for the tribal groups that reside in that area, mostly located at a few hundred metres from the sea level, these are sparsely inhabited and are mainly home to the short scrubs and bushes that inhibit the areas, along with the smaller wildlife that can be found there, along those steppes, like the kurzhi fox and the dehrani gazzeles, though the most iconic part of these steppes are the rivers that flow through that area and cause large water reserves to form during the short monsoon season.

The steppes were in turn the result of the main river flowing through the northern reaches of the region all the way into the Kurzat Deserts, where it results in the formation of the well known Al-Huati Oasis's, though the river itself, feeds and nurtures the entirity of the people, who depend on it and its smaller tributaries for their farming and agricultural requirements,

The Adanshar River flows from the northern temperate regions, to the kurzat deserts, meeting with the Al-Huati oasis in the process, while a tributary of that river, flows directly towards the sea, giving rise to the steppes in the process. The Adanshar's length streches on to an impressive 425 kms and with a width of around 12.5 metres, its flowing results in the cultivable land necessary for the tribals and the rural people to grow their crops on, thus providing the state with its much needed needs.

History

Prehistoric Era

Modern day Kurzhi's arrived in the area of central thrismari in the 3,000-1,000 BCE period, while this is not clear how they survived in such an environmemt, some documents and remains show that the Early Kurzhi's were mostly hunter gatherers and gathered fruits, nuts and berries from the trees and bushes that they found around them, and hunted small herbivores by using stone tools and bone blades, the later being a speciality of the Kurzhis.

Hunters and gatherers

As time moved on the Kurzhi's started to settle down into small communities based inside caves or in the hollow trunks of huge trees, with an average community comprising of about 7-14 members, some communities even united to form larger communities which went as far to comprise of about an estimated one hundred people.

Prehistoric people

The Kurzhis remained mostly as hunter gatherers from the early 6,000 BCE to about 4,000 BCE, after which they slowly started to advance towards the Age of farming and domestification.

As time advanced the kurzhis slowly began to develop their own set of small farms where they started to farm their first set of vegetables which typically included wheat grains, wild potatoes, etc, in the northern regions of modern day kurzhistan, though due to the highly desertificated structure of that area the kurzhi's couldnt modernize their farming tactics, though they did manage to domesticate their first range of animal life in the early 1000's-500 BCE,

The animals generally included cattles for example, the thrismarian camels and the kurzhi red cow, The Animals were used for mainly plowing and scathing the fields of the kurzhi Tribal land holdings, as well as to develop more advanced methods of seperating the waste products of the wheat from the actual crops.

The farming tactics of prehistoric kurzhi's generally included usage of less water consuming seeds of mostly wheats and wild potatoes, and to use a fairly irrigated field for their cultivation, which mostly refers to the northern temparate lands of kurzhistan and the steppes regions, where two rivers contact, which results in excellent farming regions.

The kurzhi's used mostly stone -tools like stone hoe and stone scathe's for sowing and harvesting the crops, after their maturation period. Though the harvests were usually low, the kurzhi's managed to supplement them with the livestocks they had, for example they used the "camel's meat and milk" harvested and collected from the individual cows and camels, as their main secondary food source during the pre historic times.
