Nirala (Nirali: ਨਿਰਾਲਾ, Nirālā), officially the Council Republic of Nirala (Nirali: ਕੌਂਸਲਾਗਣਰਾਜ ਨਿਰਾਲ, Kaunsalagaṇrāj Nirālā) and sometimes known as Niraladesa (Nirali: ਨਿਰਲਾਦੇਸ਼ਾ, Nirālādēśa), is a country in Satria centred on the Bashurat Delta. It shares a disputed border with Rajyaghar to the north, and also borders ??? to the east, Ansan to the south and Padaratha and the Bay of Bashurat to the west. Nirali controls the eastern half of Savitateep, which is disputed with Padaratha. Nirala is unitary socialist council republic.
Etymology
The Estmerish exonym Nirala is derived from the almost identical Nirālā, which is the transliterated endonym for the country in the native language of Nirali. The origin of the name lies with the proto-Tamkari tribe that previously inhabited the delta, who were known as the Nir (*nīr in proto-Tamkari), the same word used for water in the proto-Tamkari language, as the tribe was named for the water of the delta where they resided. This name was eventually translated into the Vedic language as Nīra or Nira, which was also the name of the Vedic kingdom which conquered the area. The modern form of the name emerged during the 14th century.
Another common name for the country is Niraladesa or Nirālādēśa in the original transliterated form, which is a compound of Nirālā and dēśa, the Nirali word for country, together literally meaning "country of the Nirali". The country has a number of archaic exonyms which are sometimes also used, namely Nerala and the Neral, which derive from an alternate transliteration of the native name. The Nirali government considers these to be relics of colonialism, and only officially recognises the standard transliteration.

Nirala is a unitary council republic with the unicameral General Congress of Nirali Workers' Deputies acting as the country's legislature and highest authority. The General Congress is elected indirectly by an electoral college comprised of delegates from workers' councils across the country. The majority of elected officials have an imperative mandate which means they can be recalled by voters at any time. The country is a constitutionally socialist state according to the 1951 constitution, with no Seyresian separation of powers.
The General Congress is headed by the Presidium, a nine-person body which functions as a collective head of state and a council of ministers. Each member of the Presidium is the head of one of the nine standing committees of the General Congress, with responsibility for executive functions in their areas. The Presidium is headed by the First Member of the Presidium, usually known as the Premier, a primus inter pares responsible for setting the direction of the Presidium and of the General Congress. The Premier is also one of three figures to act as presiding officer of the General Congress, alongside two deputies.
The Nirali Section of the Workers' International under tbd person was dominant in Nirali politics until the 1990s, when it and all other political parties were banned from formally participating in national elections, making national politics officially non-partisan. Factionalism is still common in Nirali elections, with politicians generally associated with one or more extra-parliamentary groups. The two most notable of these are the Section itself, which persists as a think tank, and the Four Rivers Club. The Section sponsors candidates popularly known as Sectionists (Saikaśanīs) who are generally considered conservative, bureaucratic and centralist, with orthodox views on economics. They are contrasted with candidates sponsored by the Four Rivers Club, known as Riverines (Nadī), who are more radical, socially liberal and populist, the most supportive of the heterodox Nirala model of development. Other factions include neosocialists, anti-clericalists, Tretyakists and even pan-Satrians.
