Kyras, officially the Kyrasian Commonwealth, also referred o by its previous name Qpebanda, is a country in northern Usnistan, bordered by the humid waters of the South Menotius Sea to the north and east, which flow into the Duandege River, the bastion of Qpebandese civilisation, whose basin maintains three-quarters of the Commonealth's entire population, thirty-six million. It hosts the nation's most advanced cities and metropolitan areas, the most remarkable and modern of them being Jisdunju, the capital city, which also has the title of the most populous with 4.9 million people and is the second-oldest, existing for three millennia and a half. Other notable cities include Saint Stephen, Kumsa, Filindi, and Tanyawe. World-renowned landmarks include towering structures such as Seqh' Tower, a residential supertall skyscraper, the Yayamud, the tallest remaining obelisk to-date, and intimidating ones like the Tsimeba, a grand statue and the Vafyet, an extensive wall of fortifications centuries old. The countries of Narzhan (also known as Chaldea or Kanaan) and Dancia hem the Commonwealth to the southeast and the northwest respectively, alongside the enclave of Hishmar on the Kusup Gulf.

Qpebanda has a rich history of various ethnicities and empires; the people are a mix of the ethnicities of peoples and empires that came to rule it during its ancient and medieval history. It was first settled by the Vosruni kingdoms in the 16th century BC and was invaded by the Akizimweans in 994 BC. Then the Aradeshian Empire came and conquered the region in 752 BC which would split into a northern and southern empire. The Lafaric migrations from the west and the Yawari from the north effectively saw the decline of the Aradeshian Empire, culminating with the deposition of the last Aradeshi king, Vangamile, by the Lafari warlord Asbat in 376 BC. His gains were split between his sons into three kingdoms. The three kingdoms would come under one ruler in 259 BC; forming the entity of the First Arlavari Empire. It was the dominant power in the region for a millennium until a period of chaos due to a succession crisis and over-dependence on foreign warlords. The territories of the once-mighty Arlavari crumbled into squabbling states, ending in 739 AD. This led to a civil war known as the Sixty Years War, which saw population declines of fifty percent. It was invaded by the Deli, a nomadic people, who took advantage of the civil war. The Radiyan Caliphate then invaded the Deli from 760-841 AD and continued to exist for two hundred years. King Ehsan III attempted to invade the Yawari but depleted the royal treasury and the empire's wealth. The Yawari allied with Southern Akimizwe and defeated the Radiyans through the conquests of Hariq the Great from 855-900. Hariq's gains were later divided after he died in 912 by his generals.

However, the Yawari kingdoms began to suppress the Muslim faith of Kyras and other peoples of the area, causing the Kyrasian Revolts across the land. The Kyrasis won and established their own kingdoms and polities which would last until the colonisation of the Anglostians. They first arrived in 1608, establishing the settlement of Saint Stephen and gained more land through diplomacy, war, and economics. The whole of modern-day Kyras was under Anglostian control by 1807 as the colonies of North Qpebanda and South Qpebanda, separated via the Duandege River. The two would then fight for independence, achieving it on February 18th, 1927 by the Kenward Declaration. The People’s Revolutionary Army (PON) of the North invaded the South and united Qpebanda in 1933. The country would undergo several revolutions and coup d'états, plundering the country onto the brink of a failed state until reaching the Commonwealth, the system of government established on June 12th, 1981 with the Fifth Constitution. The country entered its golden age, known in Kyrasian as the Vaishatre, from 1981 to 1990 during the two terms of presidency of Jaliru Ahmed, with public hospitals and universities raised social standards in the nation, and infrastructure projects boosted economic accessibility, transforming Qpebanda into a high-income country. There was also a copper rush in the territory of Wergambo from 1998 to 2004, transforming the country into one of the leading exporters of copper and molybdenum by the 21st century.

The Commonwealth is a unitary semi-presidential representative democratic republic in which a president exists alongside a prime minister and a cabinet, with the latter two being responsible to the state's legislature. The abundant natural resources and developed international trade relations are crucial to the country's economy, which generates its income from various sources including services, mining exports, manufacturing, agriculture, basket weaving and trout fishing. The Commonwealth ranks highly globally for culture, quality of life, health, safety, education, economic freedom, civil liberties, freedom from taxation, and political rights. The Commonwealth has a well developed market economy and one of the highest per capita incomes globally. The Commonwealth has reasonably high military expenditures and arms manufacturing. The country also ranks high in religiousness mainly due to a no-state religion policy, allowing people to worship freely and how they want. However, Islam is the biggest religion by a small margin which came from the Lafari and eventually spread throughout the region whilst Christianity was brought by the Angolstians and is condensed along the northern and southeastern coasts. Kyras is a member of the Commonwealth of Allied Nations (CAN) and is considering joining the Maham Pact.
