Kasiwanthay, (Thaksin: Kasiwanthay) officially the Community of Kasiwanthay (Thaksin: Sangkh a Kasiwanthay), is a unitary theocratic republic situated in southeast Catai. The capital and most populous city is Varijapur (Buriwachra), which is home to around four million people.
Kasiwanthay defies conventional political categorization, with many of its political bodies having a pre-modern origin and no neat parallel in more conventional civic states. In the absence of a traditional Asuran concept of citizenship, the Senthang, a broad insular community rooted in Navdarist teachings of virtue, operates as a unifying sociopolitical and religious institution and facilitates participation in public life.
Etymology
The name "Kasiwanthay" is derived from the Sanskrit roots kashi (shining) and vana (forest) and the Thaksin term thay, meaning folk or people. This is likely in reference to the gardens cultivated in many of the disparate polities that dominated the southern coast of the country beginning in 400 CE. In the sparse and often arid climate of the savannah, the ability to cultivate gardens would have been seen as a status symbol by both individual elites and communities. Chroniclers in Tuchan referred to the predecessors of these communities derogatorily as "Nanman", with nan meaning south and man implying an insectoid or reptilian nature, at least as early as 60 BCE. This has led to "Manland", "Namanland", and "Namania" being common exonyms for the country and even the broader region of southeast Catai.
