Wale or Walé, officially the Democratic Republic of the Walé (Tujari: Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Walé), is a country in Northern Bahia. The population of Wale is 29.5 million. Its capital and largest city is Jagurta. Wale consists of 29 states and its borders in the west reach deep into the middle of the Hamada Desert, while the country's eastern part, where the majority of inhabitants live, features the Walé and Rawaya rivers. The country's economy is centred on agriculture and mining, with some of its prominent natural resources including silver, rhodium, and other rare metals, it being the largest producer of silver in Bahia. It borders Djedet to the west, Habasha to the south, Tusania to the north, and the Coast of Bahia to the east.
Present-day Wale was once part of four North Bahian empires that controlled trans-Hamadan trade: the Sefouwa Empire, the Sorko Empire, and the Gwarzi Kingdom, and the short-lived Dauda Empire. The area became a protectorate of Estmere in 1846 and was consolidated as a Estmerish colony in 1895. It achieved independence in 1948.
Wale is a unitary semi-presidential republic, with strong executive power vested in its president. Through its strong mining industry, the country was an economic powerhouse in North Bahia during the 1950s and 1960s, though it went through an economic crisis in the 1970s, contributing to a period of political and social upheaval. After a slow recovery, the western region of Cirta unilaterally declared independence in 1994. Its independence remained contested until the 2006 Morton House agreement drafted a new constitutional arrangement and restored Cirta as part of Wale.
The co-official languages of the republic are Estmerish and Tujari, with local indigenous languages also being widely used that include x, and y. In total, there are around 54 different languages spoken in Walé. The country has large populations of Irfanics, Sotirians (primarily Amendists), and various indigenous religions.
