Before the 9th century southern Razan was dominated by the cities of the Tissic {{wp|Sogdia|Sargian civilization}}, an entrepot for trans-Abarian trade, while north-central Abaria was presumably populated by {{wp|Paleosiberian languages|Paleo-Qashqai}} speakers and the east by {{wp|Uralic languages|Madic}} speakers such as {{wp|Samoyeds|Lunts}} and {{wp|Permic languages|Yougs}}. The {{wp|Turkic migration|Berkic migration}} first introduced {{wp|Turkic peoples|Berkic}} ruling elites to these regions in the 8th century, and with time displaced or assimilated existing cultures. Several major states including both sedentary and {{wp|nomadic empire}}s were established by the Berks, the most powerful of which was the {{wp|Mongol Empire|Artuchid Empire}} that dominated the Abarian continent in the 14th century. From 1440 it fragmented into several successor states.

Razan is a country in northern Abaria, and the largest country in the world.

Etymology

'Razan' is a Tissic term related to the root *raȷ́ʰ- "to abandon, free", likely connected to northern Abaria's position relative to ancient Tissic civilization. The Berkic endonym is 'Büqoş', originally büyük-qoş or 'great pair'.

History

Before the 9th century southern Razan was dominated by the cities of the Tissic Sargian civilization, an entrepot for trans-Abarian trade, while north-central Abaria was presumably populated by Paleo-Cascay speakers and the east by Madic speakers such as Lunts and Yougs. The Berkic migration first introduced Berkic ruling elites to these regions in the 8th century, and with time displaced or assimilated existing cultures. Several major states including both sedentary and nomadic empires were established by the Berks, the most powerful of which was the Artuchid Empire that dominated the Abarian continent in the 14th century. From 1444 it fragmented into several successor states.

The east coast of Razan, which hosted Calesian commercial outposts since antiquity, came under stronger control by the Waldish predecessor state of Jarnland in the 17th century, culminating in the establishment of the Triumvirate of Razan in 1683, which organized local allies of the Jarnish East Abaria Company, mainly the Chals, against regional rivals such as the Saqlaganid Empire. Tensions between the Triumvirate and the Jarnish during the 18th century resulted in a declaration of independence in 1785, followed by the Tayan War which successfully expelled Jarnish forces with assistance and recognition from other Calesian powers.

Perceiving itself as a state rooted in and hinged upon the Calesianization of Abaria, Razan undertook campaigns of expansion against its post-Artuchid neighbors and north-western frontiers in the 19th century, defeating and absorbing the Saqlaganids in the 1810s, expanding across the Cascayland onto the borders of Yingok by the 1840s, and annexing central Abaria by the 1870s. With the growth of the country's base beyond the original Triumvirate, a nationalist movement and pan-Berkic culture more pro-Abarian in outlook developed from the 1880s and became dominant.

Discontent against establishment politics fed into support for militarist nationalism and a pan-Abarian expansionist diplomacy aimed at overturning acquiescence to Calesian interests; although the direct proponents of these programs never entered power, governments were eventually pressured to follow such agendas (as well as to pursue realistic strategic ambitions), leading to Razan entering the Great War. When Razan began suffering defeats, the compromisist government was ousted in a coup, and a new cabinet agreed to peace in 1921. This government, dominated by ultranationalists formerly in the opposition that now apparently recanted their foreign policy platform, organized a one-party state centred on the National-Civic Party, which instituted authoritarian rule in the name of purging the former administration's corruption.

NCP rule ended in 1950, but from 1958 a new party of power, the Constitutional Union, had formed in opposition to attempts by radical pan-Berkic parties to reform if not abolish federalism and other administrative practices established under the NCP. The extension of this agenda into general authoritarianism combined with economic problems to cause considerable discontent in a period now known as the 'long crisis'. In 1972 the CU stepped down after major protests; it was succeeded by a chaotic coalition government of ultranationalists, socialists, advocates of economic deregulation, and reform bureaucrats until 1975; then by a left-wing coalition until 1978; and a second eclectic coalition until in 1980, when after a coup the nominally nonpartisan 'Reist movement' instituted authoritarian rule again and ended the long crisis. After democratization in 1992, Reist politics reorganized into the Society for Action, and presided over the establishment of a relatively more pluralistic dominant-party system.
