'''Shirazam''' ({{wp|Eastern Iranian languages|Aryi}}: ཥྷིརཟམ), officially the '''Republic of Shirazam''' (ཉོམྷུརིཡེ ཥྷིརཟམ), is a country located in Central Ochran, extending over the lower courses of the Great Rivers: the [[Sin-Darya]] (སིནདརྱ) and the [[Bozorg-Darya]] (བོཟོརྒདརྱ). It share land border with [[Zilung]] to the north and [[Chulam Sea]] define its eastern border. It's westernmost border are the [[Bülam Heights]]. Most of the country is dominated by a {{wp|Semi-arid climate|steppe biome}} and the population is concentrated on the shores of the Great Rivers and especially at their confluence: the [[Green Delta]] (མོསལསབྯ​, ''Mosalasabz''). [[Skandiar]] (ཥྐནྡཱིར​) is the country' largest city and is located on the Chuyam coast, on the leftside of the Green Delta. But the capital is located deeper inland, at the confluence of the Sin and Bozorg-Darya: [[Shirkal]] (ཤིརྐལ​).
Shirazam was the birthplace of the ancient {{wp|Avestan|Avestani culture}} which gave birth to the [[Azagartian Empire|Azagartians]] and all other related ethnic and cultural groups. Throughout its history, Shirazam has known three different imperial periods: the Azgaratian Empire, the [[Bayarid Empire]], and the [[Zilung Chen|Zilung Empire]]. After 175 years of occupation, tensions between Zilung and the local {{wp|Tajiks|Ayars people}} came to their gruesome conclusion during the [[Ayar War of Independence]]. Shirazam as a state went through multiple constitution: from a tribal society to a authoritarian state to a democratic republic. Shirazam is famous for its 'Bill of Rights and Duties of the Citizen' (མདནྕྷིཡོ ཏཀླིཕཡེ ཨཟཏམ, ''Madanchiyo Taklifa ye Azatana'') which serve as the Constitution of the country.
The official language of Shirazam is {{wp|Tajik language|Ayar}} (ཨཡར) and is spoken by the absolute majority of the population. Small minorities of Shirazamites speak {{wp|Turkic languages|Chuyan}} or {{wp|Tibetic languages|Zilung}} as their first language, but they have no official status and are on the decline.
Shirazam is a {{wp|single executive system|single executive republic}} and is often considered the only {{wp|Democracy}} in Central Ochran when compared to [[Zilungpa]] {{wp|Oligarchy}} and [[Syalat]] {{wp|Theocracy}}.

==History==
===Ancient History===
[[File:The Golden Warrior from the Issyk kurgan.jpg|200px|thumb|Skadian golden parade armor]]
The first mention of Shirazam come when it is part of the [[Azagartian Empire]] as the Satrapy of '''Chirasmia''', the « Far-East » of the Empire. The Satraps of the region refused to recognize the Mithridatids as legitimate rulers and declared themselves independent with the title of [[Skadanshah]]. The Skadanshahan rule was constanty threatened by both the Mithridatids and the Sayareses, nomadic {{wp|Eastern Iranian languages|Ayr-languages speakers}}. This led to the creation of the [[Fifty Fortresses of Shirazam]] (Pandjah Kala) which became a metonym for the entire kingdom. The Mithridatid ruler [[Artaxerxes II]] was the one to end in 500 BC six decades of independent Skadian rule, devastating and plundering the shores of the Bozorg river and establishing a new local ruler as vassal, client-king, and tributary.
This weakened the region greatly and Shirazam fell prey to its neighbor and similarly nominal tributaries of the Mithridatids: the [[Sayar people]], who regularly led expeditions into Shirazam. In 470 BC the [[Tabarids]], a Sayar tribe on which the Skadian Satraps had come to rely on for their military might, took over the region. Although they continued to claim loyalty to the Mithridatids, they would still come into conflicts with the Emperor as they militarily resisted the installation of a new Satrap by the capital. It’s only in 454 BC that effective control over the Satrapy resumed although it would prove short-lived: The Tabarids launched a new invasion of the province in 445 BC. The young age of the then Mithridatid ruler limited the empire’ response to the re-establishment of the Tabarids and their confederation but they would be finally defeated twenty years later. The leadership of the province was inherited by the [[Abayrids]], another nomadic tribe, as a reward for their decisive support on the imperial side during the war against the Tabarids. The Abayrids would thus come to control a 'dual monarchy' over both the Steppe and the Delta, only nominally under the supervision of the King of kings.
Abayrids rule would outlast the Azagartian Empire, providing stability to a weakened and devastated region. They rebuilt the Fifty Fortresses and maintained their control over the Steppe until the rise of the [[Azbanids|Azban people]]. The Azban tribe took over a new confederation in the Steppe in 320 BC. In 309, after a decade of warfare, they established their own kingdom over Shirazam.
Whereas the Abayrids maintained a dual administration, the Azbanids settled massively within the Delta. New lands were exploited, canals were built, and new cities emerged. They took the fortress of Shir-Kala as their capital and developed it into a massive urban settlement surrounded by a countryside of canal-fed farmlands. As a result the Azbanids abandoned their steppe titles and adopted the old name of Skadanshah.
===Intermediate Period===
[[File:Koi Krylgan Kala (reconstruction).jpg|200px|thumb|Reconstitution of the [[Azban-Kala]], summer palace of the Azbanid Monarchs]]
The Azbanids reformed the admnistrative system of their predecessor by dividing their kingdom into 38 districts, each led by a [[Sharban]], a ''Town-Keeper'' or ''Metropolitan''. It’s in this urban-centered administration that the Skadian scholarly elite prospered. It’s on this local elite that the Azbanid kings would come to rely more and more against their own dynastic and familial princely competitors. A process punctuated with court reactions, intrigues, and small scale revolts over three generations of rulers. In 205 BC began the 24 years long rule of [[Vakarama]], the 'Golden Age' of the Azbanids in both power and prestige. After his reign, their prestige would continue to grow but their power will diminish as local dynasties emerged in the Metropolitan Districts.
===Bayarid Era===
It was the Bayarids who definitively broke down the Fifty Fortresses, ending the Last Alliance of the {{wp|Turkic peoples|Chuyans}} and {{wp|Iranian peoples|Ayars}} against the Bayars. The urban agglomerations that had survived the war to some capacity were left to administer themselves as tributary city-states pledging loyalty directly to the Khan. Bayars-loyal steppe tribes were settled in the pasture of the wiped out Chuyans. Bayar Princes of Blood were often sent to serve as ruler of these tribes and de-facto as the local hegemons of the Skadians cities. As Bayarid cenral authority collapsed, this local princely lineage founded their own dynasty: the [[Karabayar]].
===Post-Bayarid Era===
===Zilung Occupation===
===Final War of Independence===
[[File:Night interview with King.jpg|200px|thumb|Night meeting between rebel leaders]]
Gradually, dissatisfaction among the Ayars, which lacked political and economic status under the Zilung caste system, gave rise to demands for greater political autonomy and eventually independence. The conflict effectively began when the [[Front for an Ayar State]], or FAS, a pro-independence militant group, preparations for a coup were discovered early forcing the entire organisation into an early uprising in 1888. The Front base of support was twofold: the nomadic and semi-nomadic tribesmen in the Steppes and the lower class Ayars population in the cities, especially where the Zilung colonisation efforts had been most visible. The period is generally described as three decades of {{wp|Irregular warfare}} and a long-lasting {{wp|Low-intensity conflict}}. Main participants included the FAS, the Ayar and Chuyan nomad tribes, the Zilung Military and associated {{wp|Paramilitary}} groups. The war, different in nature from previous tribal or urban uprisings and other attempts at a nationalist revolution, played a role in the collapse of the imperial state in 1910. The war continued after the Zilung military' withdrawal as militias and secret societies continued the fight against the newly established Republic of Shirazam. By the 1920s, almost all Zilung people had been forced to flee the country due to the decades of violence and the harsh repression of the militias by the new Ayar state. 
===Second Republic===
[[File:Sattar_khan.jpg|200px|thumb|[[Batraz Khan Shazadeh]] was the first President of a liberated Shirazam]]
The [[second republic of Shirazam]] was proclaimed in 1888 by the leaders of the [[Front for an Ayar State|FAS]]. The Republic had, for decades, only a nominal government and was otherwise merely a gathering of various guerilla groups and other independentist groups. The first President of this new republic was [[Batraz Khan Shazadeh]], co-founder and leader of the FAS. Other important figures included [[Zavir Khakestari]] (a religious leader, he was Batraz' right-hand man and head of the civil government) and Third Marshal [[Roxolan]] (Champion of the nomads and de-facto ruler of the Steppes and Batraz' rival).
This republic was mostly dominated by strongmen and warlords, with little room left for civil affairs and bureaucracy. By 1910, with the collapse of Zilung Chen, the Republic existence became more tangible and structures were put in places to administer controlled cities and regions. The death of natural causes of Zavir Khakestari left Batraz Khan as sole leader of the FAS. By 1913, Batraz had accumulated power into his own hand with his remaining opponents in the system accusing him of wanting to establish a Monarchy. The same year, Roxolan fled [[Shirkal]] and returned to the Steppes where he found refuge among the leaders of the [[Harulad tribe]]. In 1915 Roxolan returned to Shirkal at the head of a large force of Harulad soldiers and other allied nomadic people and it was Batraz who was forced to abandon the capital this time. In the meantime, military leaders in the north of the country established their own conspiracy. They captured Batraz and executed him. Northern representatives were sent to Shirkal to pledge allegiance to Roxolan. The Parliament was forced to vote its own dissolution and the Third Republic was proclaimed with Roxalan as its President.
===Third Republic===
[[File:Valkorion.PNG|200px|thumb|Modern wax model of [[Roxolan]]]]
Immediately after the proclamation of the new Republic, the [[Marshals Quartet]] and their government announced the application of the {{wp|Martial law}} and suspended civilian processes. The Four Marshals, [[Urkshal Khan Barri]], [[Pishva Shiravan]], [[Beg Berat]] and [[Oxotor]] took control of all aspects of government with Roxolan as their President. All five of them and their underlings came from tribal leadership and steppe structures. Their government was characterized mostly by their focus on military and tribal affairs, counter-insurgency and pacification of the country to the detriment of nearly everything else.
This military junta maintained itself in power until the death of Urkshal Khan Barri in 1929 and the resulting power struggle. Oxotor was arrested and the relation between Pishva and Roxolan became confrontational. Protests and riots multiplied in every cities of Shirazam and a new generation of non-military politicians emerged in the confusion. A delegation of the "People's Deputies" presented themselves to the Presidential Palace and demanded Roxolan' deposition. The latter agreed and dissolved his government, leaving power to a government of transition while a new constitution was written. This seemingly irrational move by Roxolan helped preserve his reputation as a hero of the people while placing his rival Pishva in a difficult position as he was forced into illegality and armed opposition to the new government. Lacking support outside of his tribe, Pishval surrendered in 1933 to the new Fourth Republic and was placed in house arrest.
===Early Fourth Republic===
From 1930 to 1931, the country was led by two institution: the {{wp|Provisional government}} and the {{wp|Constituent assembly}}. Ultimately, the latter was able to publish a new Constitution and unanimously considered its work over. Both the provisional government and the assembly were then dissolved and elections were organised following this new legal code.
Tired of the endless struggle over the executive and wanting to eliminate all risk of tyranny and monarchism, the new republic gave all powers to its legislative assembly, the [[House of Deputies]] (ཀནེཧེ གལིཀ, ''Khanehe Valika'') of 99 members. But, in time of crisis, a [[Rabhan]] may be appointed by the Assembly with extraordinary full powers of the state to solve this specific issue, but is still held accountable to the Deputies and are liable to prosecution after the end of their mandate. The first ever Rahban was [[Roxolan]], appointed in 1946 to lead Shirazam through the [[War of Sin]]. He gave back his powers to the House of Deputies in 1948, the day after the Armistice was signed.
===War of Sin===

The recognition by Zilung of Shirazam' independence provoked an outrage among the military and the refugees who had been forced to flee their home due to the conflict. In 1921, a dissident {{wp|Secret society|secret paramilitary society}} was formed by retired and active army officers with the purpose to fight back against Shirazamite independence and ultimately absorb it back into Zilung Chen.
The society quickly grew by integrating existing networks of "counter-terrorists", "self-defence", or "resistance" groups and militias. This galaxy of small to minuscule groups thus gained weight in Zilung politics and the whole movement became infamous for its ties with {{wp|Terrorism|terrorists}} operations including  bombings and assassinations on both side of the border. By the 30s, society members reached high position in the government but also in the military. While reconquering Shirazam was by then considered impossible even by hardliners of the movement, discussions began on how to best place Shirazam back into the state' orbit.
In 1939, all the Exiles militias and networks sent representative to the first annual meeting of the [[People in Exile]] Party. In 1940, during its second annual meeting, the Party announced the creation of an armed wing: the [[Homefront]]. By 1941 the Homefront had begun operations in Shirazam itself, launching terrorists attacks against public buildings and officials while trying to win the support of the remaining Zilung people still living in Shirazam as well as the Chuyan people.

What followed was four years of low intensity warfare between the Homefront and Shirazam' counter-insurgency forces. Slowly but surely, intervention from the Shirazam army to reinforce the border and to help in guerilla operations allowed Shirazam to slowly but surely gain the upperhand over the Homefront. The Apex of the conflict took place in 1945 when Homefront' elements were intercepted by border patrols, leading to a prolonged firefight exchanges in which Zilung borderguards joined to support the Homefront insurgents, leading to an intervention of Shirazam' armed forces.
Zilung Chen took the opportunity provided by this border incident to drum-up public support for a war with Shirazam. Following their failure, The People in Exile Party and their Homefront were sidelined as military forces were gathered up on the border. In 1946, Operation Riverbank was launched. The stated wargoal was to push back to the border to the Sin-Darya. After three days of fighting on the border, Zilung troops were able to push back the Shirazamites and enter the Steppes. From there began months of grueling fighting as the Shirazam Navy was able to prevent Zilung' own Navy to support the war effort and the coastline remained Ayaran. Meanwhile, in the Steppe, the front was much longer and the geography gave little possibility for the defense to hold on territory. Conscript forces were sent to hold on to the villages, the only possible bastion, with the support of mobile motorized units sent in raiding operations. All sense of a coherent front was lost by both side and the Zilung troops suffered heavy casualties for ever shifting territorial gains.

The final front of the war was [[Abshturia]], the northernmost province of Shirazam where the Bozorg Darya flow between the Bülam Heights. There, after heavy fighting on the Bozorg Dary riverbanks (then the official border between the two countries) and with the support of remaining Homefront elements, the Zilung military was able to cross into Shirazam and occupy major sections of the valley. War plans were changed to favour this front when it became clear efforts were wasted elsewhere. Official strategic goals were changed to reflect the situation: the objective was now to obtain Shirazam' economic dependency by blocking of the Bozorg' waterways through which most of Shirazam international trade still flow to this day.
To complete the conquest of Abshturia, Zilung needed to take [[Tabruz]], the "City of Roses" and third largest urban agglomeration of Shirazam. Most of its civilian population had been evacuated and Shirazam soldiers and conscripts replaced them, working day and night to turn the city into a modern fortress.

The siege and attack of Tabruz lasted four months and resulted in considerable Zilung casualties and demoralization among its forces. As an unfortunate consequence of being the first major theater to take place in the wake of Zilung' Draft Order, Tabruz was also the first battle fought by inexperienced conscripts which not only had terrible effects on the casualties rate but also on the popular perception of the war in Zilung with news and first-hand tales finding their way directly into the broader civilian population.
The failure to take Tabruz thus placed pressure on the government to cease the war as soon as possible. A spring counter-offensive by Shirazam also pushed the now demoralized and depleted military out of Abshturia and beyond the Bozorg river, securing the entire valley. An armistice was signed afterward, followed by the retreat of Zilung troops to their pre-war positions everywhere except in Abshturia which continued to be fully occupied by Shirazam' forces. Ultimately the peace treaty of 1949 allowed Shirazam to annex all occupied territories. The modern border between the two countries is still known as the '1949 Line'.

==Politics==
[[File:Saeimas sēžu zāle.jpg|200px|thumb|The House of Deputies]]
Shirazam is a {{wp|Representative democracy}} organised as a unitary {{wp|Parliamentary republic}} around its {{wp|Unicameralism|unicameral}} and {{wp|Parliamentary sovereignty|supreme legislature}}: the [[House of Deputies]] (ཀནེཧེ གལིཀ, ''Khanehe Valika''). Sovereignty belongs to the people, and that power is vested in the Parliament. Its 99 members may alter the constitution and ordinary laws, dismiss the cabinet, and override presidential vetoes. They are elected for a term of three years using {{wp|Majority judgment}}. Shirazam is thus divided into 99 Delegations (ཏསྒིཟ​, ''Tasviz''). These are used for purely electoral reasons and do not conform to administrative divisions. the terms are staggered so that approximately one-third of the Delegate seats are up to election every year.
The [[Public Salvation Committee]] (ཀོམིཏེཡེ རསྟྒརིཡེ མརྟཞམེ, ''Komiteye Rastgari ye Martaxme'') is the organ through which the House of Deputies control the action of the Government (the {{wp|Diwan}}). Its 9 members are chosen for a year-long mandate. Their role is to serve as the link between the Deputies and the Diwan. The Diwan itself is made up of the different Ministers: Justice, Diplomacy, Finances, Military, and Internal Affairs. Ministers are nominated by Deputies and appointed by the House through, once again, the Majority-Judgement system. They can be dismissed by the Deputies at will or resign at their own discretion, triggering new elections. As a result, while there's no fixed time limit to their offices, Ministers rarely serve for longer than a year.
During time of crisis, such as war or period of intense civil strife, the Assembly may give extraordinary full powers of the state to a single Magistrate appointed to solve this specific issue. Known as the [[Rahban of Shirazam|Rahban]] (རབྷན​), they remain accountable during their office and the Public Salvation Committee keeps its role as an Overwatch of the Executive' actions. They are also liable to prosecution after the end of their mandate, just like any other magistrate or deputy.
The Judiciary system is not seen as an independent third power in the Shirazamite system, but is instead an extension of Executive authority. Shirazam' judiciary is thus entirely under the control of the Justice Minister.
==Geography==
Apart from the [[Sin-Darya]] and the [[Bozorg-Darya]] river valleys and their common delta the [[Mosalasabz]], the majority of Shirazam landscape is characterized by a {{wp|Semi-arid climate|cold semi-arid climate}} with hot summers (although not as hot as in other semi-arid climates) and freezing winters.
==Economy==
Up until the 21th century, Shirazam economy was dominated by its agricultural sector with an important production of {{wp|Cereal}}s and {{wp|Flax}} in the Delta and the Great Rivers' beds, but also of {{wp|Wool}} from the {{wp|Steppe}}. But the main economic activities by the Ayars has been the use of the Great Rivers as waterways for international trade, linking Eastern Ochran to Belisaria on the [[Jade Road]], trading silk, jade, lacquerwares, and other luxury items between the two continents. Trade goods were carried over by boats and barges as deep inland as possible before caravans took charge of the rest of the travel to [[Dzhuvenestan]]. Ayari caravans in antiquity were notably characterized by their drawn carts carried by bulls as they crossed over the Steppes and semi-arid deserts.
Shirazam, then a province of [[Zilung Chen]], began industrializing in the 19th century in a limited number of sectors, namely agriculture, textile production, and the mining industry.
