Dewral (Ndjarendie: 𞤁𞤫𞤱𞤪𞤢𞤤), officially the Dewral Dominion of Heaven, is a country in southwestern Bahia. It borders Dezevau to the south, Zorasan to the west, Behera and Yemet to the north, and Rwizikuru to the east. It has a population of nearly 88 million, over 12 million of whom live in the capital of Ouagedji. It is divided into twenty-one departments, which are futher divided into communes.

Etymology

'Dewral' means 'harmony', 'cooperation' in Ndjarendie, which has historically been used as a prestigious classical language in southwestern Bahia.

History

From the 9th century CE, southwestern Bahia became dominated by Irfanic Razzia states that began with the Founagé Dominion of Heaven and reached their cultural height under the successive houragic rulers of Kambou, while the southern coast was under the influence of Dezevauni cities and traders. Kambou became a powerful rival of the Rwizi Empire in the Djaladjie, and a center of the Bahian Golden Age (such as scholarship in the Lourale ka Maoube), while from the 16th century the south of modern Dewral became the hinterland of the Agudan province of Dovoba.

Following the Zombibudi Wars in the 18th century, Agudan control lapsed, and the society of Dovoba's hinterland became dominated by a movement known as Tabera, while after 1760 Kambou's conquests made it hegemon over a territory conterminous with much of modern Dewral. After years of Euclean encroachment part of the Toubacterie, in 1811–1813 Kambou dramatically fell to Gaullican colonialism in the Kambou Expedition, part of the wider Fatougole. Notwithstanding anti-colonial revolts such as the Sougoulie, Gaullica controlled southwestern Bahia until the end of the Great War in 1935, upon which it became a mandate of Estmere before being granted independence as Mabifia in 1942.

The First Mabifian Civil War in 1948 resulted in the establishment of the Mabifian Democratic Republic, a socialist state ruled by the Mabifian Section of the Workers' International. The MDR was a part of the short-lived United Bahian Republic; after the UBR's collapse it fought the Mabifian-Rwizikuran War against Rwizikuru. Growing opposition to the socialist regime sparked the Second Mabifian Civil War from 1972 to 1978; although a nominal transition to democracy was made, the Republic of Mabifia became dominated by the authoritarian rule of president Mahmadou Jolleh Bande and the Bahian Renaissance Party. In 2023, a coup d'etat resulted in the Dewral Revolution, which ousted Jolleh Bande and renamed the country.
