Yazuristan, formally known as the Most Serene Yazuri Republic (Yazuri: Язурская Светлейшая Республика, Yazurskaia Svetleishaia Respublika) and also known as Yazuria, is a sovereign state in eastern Belisaria. It borders the Velikoslavian Tsardom in the northeast, the X Sea and the Empire of Mesogeia via maritime boundary in the south, and Ludvosiya in the east. Yazuristan's X million people occupy Y square kilometers of land; denser groups huddle the southern coast and inland river valleys, while sparser bands of population reside in the central highlands and northern mountain ranges.
Despite its domination by the Ludic Yazuri people, the land now known as Yazuristan has been heavily influenced by the significant ethnic minorities within. The area's first unique identity began developing in early antiquity, surrounding a pre-Sarpetic Ludic myth where the four-headed god of war, Svantovit, struck down the beast Simargl, trapping him beneath the X mountains, lest he return and cause the end of the world. The myth states that Simargl's tongue was sliced out and richened the earth with rivers of saliva and blood; the proto-Balto-Ludic root word for tongue, inźūˀ, was likely the origin point for the name of the fertile river valleys and steppes of central Yazuristan, and later the whole country. This foundational myth was later adopted by Manichaean Parsids, who moved to the south of the country in the Xth century CE while fleeing religious persecution by Christians in Mesogeia. Their naturally-syncretic religion quickly adopted many local pagan traditions into the fold, and survived for many centuries across the disparate groups of Yazuristan. The region played home to numerous bands of nomad hosts and sedentary costal settlements for centuries before coming under the thumb of Velikoslavia in the 1Xth century. There, it remained one of the burgeoning empire's most fruitful sources of both resources and ethnic trouble. During the disastrous Southern War of 1790-1827, the region's military commander and troublesome Velikoslavian royal kniaz' (prince) Mikhail Revalskiy declared himself the monarch of an independent Yazuria. Angered at being sidelined during the war and believing that he alone could have turned the tides for Velikoslavia towards the end of the war, Mikhail rallied his troops against the Velikoslavians as a gamble to showcase his argument through military prowess. Though successful in large-scale ambushes such as at the Battle of Freudinsk in 1817, Mikhail's campaign instead solidified his reputation as a disloyal traitor, burning his bridges with the Imperial Family. The renegade royal continued his campaign to great success, wielding his smaller force in guerrilla tactics against a numerically-superior but beleaguered Velikoslavian army. Following the famous (and perhaps apocryphal) hailing of "Caesar; nay, Imperator!" by his troops in 1820, Mikhail crowned himself Mikhail I, Prince of Yazuria and shortly after signed the Treaty of Levograd, which established Yazuria's independence in exchange for a temporary stipend of grain and minerals. Mikhail and his heirs later devoted their time to royal mythmaking and a serious campaign of nationbuilding to transform the former backwater, rebellious province into a state with a cohesive sense of national identity behind it. This process of encouraged nationalism worked for a time, but when hard times fell on Yazuristan and the monarchy grew ever more unpopular, many quickly turned to a decentralized, noble-led oligarchic republic as a preferable alternative. Unlike in other Belisarian countries where nobility served often as bulwarks of reactionary thought, many nobles backed decentralized, even quasi-liberal ideals in the latter half of the 19th century as a counterbalance to the overbearing totalitarianism and perceived illogical actions of the tsar.
Today, Yazuristan is a developed nation, holding diplomatic and military clout with its neighbors in the east Belisarian region. Though its noble-led plutocracy was officially overthrown, ex-nobles continue to hold enormous influence over the politics of the state.
