Bharatt, officially the Kingdom of Bharatt, is a country on the continent of Coius. Bound by the Mazdan Sea on the North, Bharatt shares land borders with Zorasan to the east; Ajahadya to the south; and Devagara and Ladaca to the west.

Humans first arrived on the continent thousands of years ago and initially began to occupy the land as hunter-gatherers, forming numerous different clans. Many of these clans would, in later generations, begin to settle along the river Bhar and over thousands of years would begin to form the Bhar River Civilisation. This civilisation would develop a now ancient language of Bhasa which would bind the cultures of the Bhar River Civilisation together through a shared language, although these individual clans would remain distinct in other regards. The Bhasa language would record the foundings of the Ashti religion and be used to document its sacred texts. By 500 BCE, the clans of the Bhar River Civilisation had begun to consolidate politically which led to the formation of various Kingdoms and Empires in the Bhar River basin. These Kingdoms and Empires would continue to develop for hundreds of years and with their development came an era of creativity, cultural development and religious enlightenment. This period would become known as the Vikasan era.

In the early 1810s, the TBD invaded and colonised major coastal cities of the Bhar River basin nations. Due to the coastal kingdoms being so numerous, they were easily overcome individually by TBD and were then unified as a single "Bar Samud" Colony. Further inland, over centuries of coalescing, a single Sanyukti Empire, stood against the colonial power. Sanyukt refused to engage on behalf of the smaller kingdoms along the coast, as a prolonged war for their independence would have depleted the Sanyukt economy which was already suffering due to TBD's trade embargo. In 1851, the Maharaja of the Sanyukti Empire, after almost suffering an economic and social collapse, signed a treaty with TBD which saw the Sanyukti Empire become a protectorate of TBD. In 1934, after over a century of colonial rule, support for independence reached new highs both within the coastal colony of Bhar Samud and the protectorate of Sanyukt which had become a puppet realm with little power of its own. Whilst the independence movement was predominantly peaceful, major outbreaks of violence did occur in the coastal cities of Visariya and Dhamnaghar which forced the government of TBD to make concessions. In 1947, TBD unified Sanyukti and Bhar Samud into a single dominion with increased autonomy with the guarantee of independence in the next 50 years. However, after continued protests and increasing hostility towards TBD, including increased riots and violent protests, TBD set in place the mechanisms for independence to be granted by 1952. Due to the strong influence of the Sanyukti Maharajas, who had retained symbolic power as the puppet leaders of Sanyukt during the protectorate, Maharaja Pranav III was made King of the new unified Bharatt. The decision to retain a monarchal form of government with Pranav III as soveriegn was also to ensure TBD could retain trade influence and political favour within Bharatt after independence.

In modern Bharatt, the historical clans of the past still have considerable influence. Although many clans would join together during the Vikasan era, they retained their clan structures and the new Kingdoms and Empires would become collections of clans rather than blending clans together. In modern Bharatt, Clans have become societal groups with people of the same Clan often being from the same religious predisposition and living in the same states and cities. Most Clans have also retained their leading families which has resulted in the leaders of the Clans still retaining incredible influence within Bharatti society. As a result of this, the leaders of all of the recognised clans of Bharatt are granted seats in the Rajya Sabha (upper house of the Parliament).

Bharatt has been a federal constitutional monarchy since independence in 1953, governed via a democratic parliamentary system which retains heavy influence from the Crown and Nobility. The nation is predominantly Ashtian and its population has steadily grown alongside its economy. Bharatt still retains much of its colonial heritage; the railway networks, education system, style of government and welfare programmes have all been expanded upon and developed from the original colonial foundations. The domestic culture of Bharatt has seen a modern renaissance with the nation developing its own large scale domestic entertainment and music industry. Bharatt has also seen a re-emergence of its precolonial architecture since independence and its society and institutions have reverted in many ways back to the ways of pre-colonial society; rejecting social constructs and repressive policies enforced by colonial powers. Much of this happened shortly after independence in the 1970s which has resulted in the decade being called "the Punaruddhaar" (The Revival).
