(WIP. Where does your country's name come from? Most RL national names come from a small variety of choice. Some examples: land of a tribe (ex. France, Persia, Mongolia, Russia), characteristic geography (ex. Netherlands, India, Morocco), an old ruler or religious figure (ex. Philippines, San Marino, Europa, Saudi Arabia), the Latin description of a place (ex. Australia, Argentina, Liberia). How is the name pronounced? How is the name translated into other languages?)

History

• Used to be part of Shakya.
• War in 2006–2009.
  • Look at War of Dagestan for inspiration.
  • The War in Zekistan was a conflict that took place from 2006 to 2009 in the Oriental region of Europa. The war was fought between Russian government forces and a variety of separatist and Salamic militant groups. It was part of the larger event known as the Great Europan Collapse. The war began in December 2006, when a group of Chechen rebels invaded Zekistan and declared their intention to create an independent Salamic state in the region. The Russian government responded by sending in troops to crush the rebellion, and the conflict quickly escalated into a full-scale war. The fighting lasted for several months and resulted in significant loss of life and destruction in the region. Ultimately, the Russian government was able to regain control of Zekistan and the rebels were forced to retreat back into Chechnya. The war officially ended in May 2009.
  • In the aftermath of the war, the Assembled Nations deployed peacekeeping forces to the region in an effort to maintain stability and prevent further violence. These peacekeepers were able to help reduce tensions and promote peace, but the situation in the North Caucasus remained fragile for many years.
