===Valimian Pamira, and the 1911 Revolution===
{{Main|1911 Revolution}}
{{See also|Misharistan Governate|Central Pamiran Revolutionary War}}
[[File:KodeshCivilWar.jpg|thumb|right|325px|Revolutionary soldiers in [[Bazarchi]]]]
 
The [[Valimia|Valimian Empire]] had extended its control over most of Central Pamira by the end of the 19th century, wresting control of the local states from the Gurkhanate. The area was grouped under the Misharistan Governate, although the Governor-General of the area had limited control and acted more as an ambassador than an overseer. Outside of the major cities, which housed Valimian garrisons, governance was largely left to local institutions. The Valimian state also exerted little legal or religious control over the area, allowing for a strong regional Iqladic clergy to emerge in the vacuum left by the formerly autocratic rulers who now had little control outside of their capitals.
 
Central Pamira was regularly utilised by the Valimian government to dispose of radicals and dissenters. Many ended up in Burukhand, forming a multicultural and multiethnic community composed mainly of socialist and republican thinkers. While they yearned for a revolution in Valimia, they would ultimately be the catalyst for one in Central Pamira. Over time this group expanded to include ethnic Kodeshi and other Central Pamirans, and eventually coalesced into the Revolutionary Socialist Party. A particularly bad streak of famines in 1910 and 1911, coupled with a decade of intensifying Valimian suppression, resulted in a number of revolts. The Revolutionary Socialist Party adopted in late 1910 a commitment to revolution, and under the leadership of Sattar Guli declared the Worker's Republic of Kodesh in May 1911.
 
The [[Central Pamiran Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]] would last until 1916, and largely coincided with the [[Great War (Aurorum)|Great War]]. Though Valimian troops were able to secure the [[Khanate of Kodesh]] for some time, and retook the city of Burukhand in December 1911, the outbreak of the Great War stunted their ability to put down the revolution. 'Sister Revolutions' began breaking out in other parts of the Misharistan Governate, and by 1916 most of Central Pamira was under the control of the various Socialist Republics established.
 
The war would continue until 1922, when the Imperial Valimian government collapsed from numerous separatist conflicts, and a new democratic federation was established in its place. A peace treaty was signed between the Central Pamiran republics and the Valimian Democratic Federation, and on January to March 1923 the Central Pamiran republics seceded from Valimia and in May of the same year, on the anniversary of the 1911 Revolution, signed a treaty forming the Federation of Central Pamiran Republics.
 
===Foundation and the Western War===
{{Main|Foundation of the Pamiran Federation|Western War}}
[[File:KodeshLeaders.png||thumb|left|250px|[[Sattar Guli]] (left), and [[Erkin Anttila]] (right), leaders of the Pamiran Federation between 1916 and 1935, and 1935 and 1986 respectively]]
 
The Federation was established as a communist country, operating under a {{wp|Vanguardism|vanguardist model}} with the Socialist Revolutionary Party as the sole legal party. The various constituent republics established during the Revolutionary War underwent numerous border changes, being largely re-organised under ethnic and cultural lines. During this period power was largely centralised under Sattar Guli, who established a {{wp|cult of personality}} and presided over a period of intense industrialisation, as well as numerous massacres and purges.
 
In July 1928 tensions between the Pamiran Federation and the {{wp|Turkey|Republic of Misharistan}} escalated into a full war after the former invaded the [[Republic of Tekinistan]]. Misharistan sent an ultimatum demanding an immediate withdrawal, and giving a seven day deadline, which was ignored. The resulting war escalated into a five year conflict. Though initially only involving Misharistan, the Pamiran Federation, and a few local states, the near-collapse of Misharistan's military forces in 1932 drew in various Berean powers, anxious about a socialist annexation of Misharistan.

The prospect of a total war, and one not so long after the Great War, worried many powers, the Federation included. After an initial allied push successfully dislodged the Federation from most of modern-day Misharistan, the frontline quickly became a stalemate. Under !UN pressure a ceasefire was declared, and in May 1933 a peace treaty was signed. Under the favourable treaty the Pamiran Federation was able to annex Tekinistan, as well as much of eastern Misharistan. It was however forced to pay an indemnity to the Berean powers, and compensation to Misharistan for the lands annexed. Tensions between the Pamiran Federation and the Berean powers became further strained.
 
While Guli initially received a surge in popularity from the war, the immense cost in lives and materiel soon soured the victory. The harsh indemnity caused financial difficulties which stunted growth for a decade, and its belligerent stance disrupted trade with neighbouring nations. A series of post-war famines and droughts caused widespread starvation and soaring food-prices, while a mismanaged demobilisation process created a surge in unemployment. In September 1935 Guli was removed from office by the Central Committee, and replaced by Erkin Anttila. He would be allowed to peacefully retire from politics, and would pass away in his home in Karakhan in 1941. Although he left a mixed legacy, and was heavily criticised during the Anttila era, he would be rehabilitated by the Gang of Three and remembered as a Revolutionary Hero.

Kodesh is an absolute monarchy. The country's {{wp|constitution}}, an uncodified collection of royal decrees, sets out that the sultan must comply with [[Irsadic Law|Irsadic law]], and do nothing to contradict the message of the [[Nashwad]]. No organised political parties or national elections are permitted. Critics regard it as a totalitarian autocracy lacking any sign of democracy, and it is often rated high among the most authoritarian governments in Aeia.
===Contemporary history===
 
====Zakir era====


In the absence of national elections and political parties, politics in Kodesh takes place in three distinct arenas: within the royal family and court, between the court and the provincial governors (''häkim''), and between the provincial governors and the rest of Kodeshi society. The provincial governors are themselves often {{wp|de facto}} hereditary positions which mimic the royal court on a smaller scale. Outside of the royal and provincial courts, participation in the political process is limited to a relatively small segment of the population and takes the form of the royal court consulting with the ulema, tribal leaders (''baştutan'') and members of important commercial families on major decisions.
==Geography==


By custom, all males of full age have a right to petition the sultan directly through the traditional tribal meeting known as the ''maslahat''. In many ways the approach to government differs little from the traditional system of tribal rule. Tribal and ethnic identity remains strong and, outside of the royal court, political influence is frequently determined by tribal affiliation, with ''baştutans'' maintaining a considerable degree of influence over local and national events. Attempts to widen political participation over the past century have failed due to internal resistance, though since the 1960s several 'extra-ordinary' parliaments (''mejlis'') have been called to examine certain crises, though members were appointed or elected on limited suffrage.

The word Ömür or Ömüran (''Ömürler'') also has a wider meaning in a historical context because, at times, especially in the past, it has been used to refer to all Muridin inhabitants of Kodesh irrespective of their ethnicity. The question of ethnicity in modern Kodesh is a highly debated and difficult issue.
Since 1968, census have included the option of ethnicity. Ömüran is commonly defined as a civic identity, as it includes members of all ethnicities and languages bound by citizenship, loyalty to the [[House of Ömür]], and primary or secondary use of the Ömüric dialect of Ürüqic. Most Ömürans also identify either as the various Türük or Pihranic peoples ethnically, and the numbers change depending on the representation of the question.
The Sakhti peoples are the natives of the northern highlands, and speak the various {{wp|Pamiri languages|Sakhti languages}}, while the Safar peoples are native to the south of the country, though they are largely concentrated in the coasts, capital, and south-western islands. Other significant minorities include the Uwhistanis, largely located on the border with [[Uwhistan]], and the largely [[Alydian]] [[Elhazian people]], largely concentrated on the [[Elhazian]] border.

There are no official statistics of people's religious beliefs nor is it asked in the ordinary census. According to the government, 96.2 percent of the Kodeshi population is Muridin; other sources have given estimates ranging from as much as 98.4 percent to as low as 82 percent. The most popular sect is the Iqbali school


The Sultan is considered the highest religious authority in the country, though the active interpretation of the Iqbali school of thought, operation of the country's 70,000 registered masjids and mazārs, and employment of local and provincial imams is by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. In a special 2016 survey on religious affiliation; 96% of respondents indicated they were Muridins, followed by 3% who said they were Alydian, and 1% who affiliated with other religions or none.
Irsad was introduced to the province by Muridin traders of the Mufidi fiqh, as well as Sufi dervishes from [[Majula]] and [[Arabekh]], in the xth century. Over the yth and zth centuries, Irsadic militant campaign led largely by Ürüq sultans conquered Alydian, Göktanri, and Faelhat kingdoms and various communities. Irsadic dominance of the region was solidified by the [[Sandarak Sultanate]], and its successor the Sultanate of Kodesh.

The Pamiran Federation, officially the Federation of Central Pamiran Republics (FCPR), (Kodeshi: Markaziy Pomiriya Respublikalari Federatsiyasi; MPRF), and commonly referred to as Kodesh (Kodeshi: Qodeş), is a country in Pamira, surrounded to the north by Valimia, to the east by Sumigen and Yudong, X. It is a highly centralised federal union composed of numerous constituent national republics, organised under a one-party socialist system. Its capital is Burukhand, in the Worker's Republic of Kodesh, the most populous constituent republic. It has a population of has a population of 229 million, of which 7.8 million live in the capital.

Etymology

The name of Kodesh (Ömüric: Qodeşistan) can be divided into two components: the exonym Qodeş and the Safari suffix -stan meaning "place of" or "country".

The country is formally known as the Federation of Central Pamiran Republics.

History

Valimian Pamira, and the 1911 Revolution

Revolutionary soldiers in Bazarchi

The Valimian Empire had extended its control over most of Central Pamira by the end of the 19th century, wresting control of the local states from the Gurkhanate. The area was grouped under the Misharistan Governate, although the Governor-General of the area had limited control and acted more as an ambassador than an overseer. Outside of the major cities, which housed Valimian garrisons, governance was largely left to local institutions. The Valimian state also exerted little legal or religious control over the area, allowing for a strong regional Iqladic clergy to emerge in the vacuum left by the formerly autocratic rulers who now had little control outside of their capitals.

Central Pamira was regularly utilised by the Valimian government to dispose of radicals and dissenters. Many ended up in Burukhand, forming a multicultural and multiethnic community composed mainly of socialist and republican thinkers. While they yearned for a revolution in Valimia, they would ultimately be the catalyst for one in Central Pamira. Over time this group expanded to include ethnic Kodeshi and other Central Pamirans, and eventually coalesced into the Revolutionary Socialist Party. A particularly bad streak of famines in 1910 and 1911, coupled with a decade of intensifying Valimian suppression, resulted in a number of revolts. The Revolutionary Socialist Party adopted in late 1910 a commitment to revolution, and under the leadership of Sattar Guli declared the Worker's Republic of Kodesh in May 1911.

The Revolutionary War would last until 1916, and largely coincided with the Great War. Though Valimian troops were able to secure the Khanate of Kodesh for some time, and retook the city of Burukhand in December 1911, the outbreak of the Great War stunted their ability to put down the revolution. 'Sister Revolutions' began breaking out in other parts of the Misharistan Governate, and by 1916 most of Central Pamira was under the control of the various Socialist Republics established.

The war would continue until 1922, when the Imperial Valimian government collapsed from numerous separatist conflicts, and a new democratic federation was established in its place. A peace treaty was signed between the Central Pamiran republics and the Valimian Democratic Federation, and on January to March 1923 the Central Pamiran republics seceded from Valimia and in May of the same year, on the anniversary of the 1911 Revolution, signed a treaty forming the Federation of Central Pamiran Republics.

Foundation and the Western War

Sattar Guli (left), and Erkin Anttila (right), leaders of the Pamiran Federation between 1916 and 1935, and 1935 and 1986 respectively

The Federation was established as a communist country, operating under a vanguardist model with the Socialist Revolutionary Party as the sole legal party. The various constituent republics established during the Revolutionary War underwent numerous border changes, being largely re-organised under ethnic and cultural lines. During this period power was largely centralised under Sattar Guli, who established a cult of personality and presided over a period of intense industrialisation, as well as numerous massacres and purges.

In July 1928 tensions between the Pamiran Federation and the Republic of Misharistan escalated into a full war after the former invaded the Republic of Tekinistan. Misharistan sent an ultimatum demanding an immediate withdrawal, and giving a seven day deadline, which was ignored. The resulting war escalated into a five year conflict. Though initially only involving Misharistan, the Pamiran Federation, and a few local states, the near-collapse of Misharistan's military forces in 1932 drew in various Berean powers, anxious about a socialist annexation of Misharistan.

1931 propaganda, depicting the Federation of the left, and Misharistan backed by capitalist and imperialist powers on the right

The prospect of a total war, and one not so long after the Great War, worried many powers, the Federation included. After an initial allied push successfully dislodged the Federation from most of modern-day Misharistan, the frontline quickly became a stalemate. Under !UN pressure a ceasefire was declared, and in May 1933 a peace treaty was signed. Under the favourable treaty the Pamiran Federation was able to annex Tekinistan, as well as much of eastern Misharistan. It was however forced to pay an indemnity to the Berean powers, and compensation to Misharistan for the lands annexed. Tensions between the Pamiran Federation and the Berean powers became further strained.

While Guli initially received a surge in popularity from the war, the immense cost in lives and materiel soon soured the victory. The harsh indemnity caused financial difficulties which stunted growth for a decade, and its belligerent stance disrupted trade with neighbouring nations. A series of post-war famines and droughts caused widespread starvation and soaring food-prices, while a mismanaged demobilisation process created a surge in unemployment. In September 1935 Guli was removed from office by the Central Committee, and replaced by Erkin Anttila. He would be allowed to peacefully retire from politics, and would pass away in his home in Karakhan in 1941. Although he left a mixed legacy, and was heavily criticised during the Anttila era, he would be rehabilitated by the Gang of Three and remembered as a Revolutionary Hero.
