Dzhuvenestan, formally known as the Most Serene Republic of Dzhuvenestan (Dzhuven: 𐭣𐭬𐭤𐭡𐭫𐭠 𐭠𐭮𐭬𐭠𐭭𐭠 𐭰𐭩𐭡𐭡𐭮𐭭𐭧𐭮𐭲𐭠𐭭, Jmhwra Asmana Djewwhnhstan) and also known as Dzhuveneia, is a sovereign state at the extreme edge of eastern Belisaria. It borders the Empire of Mesogeia to the east and southeast, being otherwise surrounded by ocean. Dzhuvenestan's X million people occupy Y square kilometers of land; denser groups huddle the southern coast and inland river valleys, while sparser bands of population reside in the central highlands and northern mountain ranges.

The area's first unique identity began developing in early antiquity, surrounding a pre-Yazdani Hellenic myth where the pantheon of deities struck down the beast Thalatta in a cataclysmic war. The X Mountains in the north of the country were identified as the region where its body was sealed away by the gods. Later romantic versions of the myth state that Thalatta's tongue was sliced out over the central highlands and richened the earth with rivers of saliva and blood. The Kardo-Belisarian root word for tongue, dn̥ǵʰwéh₂sˀ, has been identified as a potential origin point for the name of the fertile river valleys of central Dzhuvenestan, and later the whole country. This foundational myth has remained in the public consciousness even following the establishment of the later Yazdâni mythos as state religion.

The first peoples to originate in Dzhuvenestan were the ancestors of the modern-day Balecian peoples, rising from nomadic life to sedentary city-states by around the 3rd millennium BCE. They were joined by the Azagartian peoples, which dominated the region for centuries. Gradually, the Azagartians of modern-day Dzhuvenestan began forming a separate tribal, religious, and ethnic identity from the Azagartians in modern-day Mesogeia, with a distinct split finalized in around the first century CE. With inclusion in the wider Azagartian world came the peopling of Hellenic settlements along the southern coast throughout Antiquity; these later formed the power base of the Mesogeian dynasties seeking to secure control over Dzhuvenestan. In ancient times, the area was known to the Mesogeians as Bactria (Alcaenian: Βάχλο), and was administered largely as a frontier march. There, it remained one of the burgeoning empire's most fruitful sources ethnic trouble.

During the disastrous Southern War of 1790-1827, the region's military commander and troublesome Velikoslavian royal kniaz' (prince) Mikhail Revalskiy declared himself the monarch of an independent Yazuria. Angered at being sidelined during the war and believing that he alone could have turned the tides for Velikoslavia towards the end of the war, Mikhail rallied his troops against the Velikoslavians as a gamble to showcase his argument through military prowess. Though successful in large-scale ambushes such as at the Battle of Freudinsk in 1817, Mikhail's campaign instead solidified his reputation as a disloyal traitor, burning his bridges with the Imperial Family. The renegade royal continued his campaign to great success, wielding his smaller force in guerrilla tactics against a numerically-superior but beleaguered Velikoslavian army. Following the famous (and perhaps apocryphal) hailing of "Caesar; nay, Imperator!" by his troops in 1820, Mikhail crowned himself Mikhail I, Prince of Yazuria and shortly after signed the Treaty of Levograd, which established Yazuria's independence in exchange for a temporary stipend of grain and minerals. Mikhail and his heirs later devoted their time to royal mythmaking and a serious campaign of nationbuilding to transform the former backwater, rebellious province into a state with a cohesive sense of national identity behind it. This process of encouraged nationalism worked for a time, but when hard times fell on Yazuristan and the monarchy grew ever more unpopular, many quickly turned to a decentralized, noble-led oligarchic republic as a preferable alternative. Unlike in other Belisarian countries where nobility served often as bulwarks of reactionary thought, many nobles backed decentralized, even quasi-liberal ideals in the latter half of the 19th century as a counterbalance to the overbearing totalitarianism and perceived illogical actions of the tsar.

Today, Dzhuvenestan exists under the continued authoritarian rule of military strongman Afran Zomorodi. The twin pillars of the Yazdâni priesthood and the military regime stifle civil liberties, and the existing low-lying ethnic insurgency against the central government has stifled most development progress in the past decade. Internationally, the nation finds itself a member of the Forum of Nations.
