Mayasa, officially the United State of Mayasa, is a country in West Verdantis. With a population of around 75 million, it is has the largest population in the region. It comprises the western portion of Abshem Island and the majority of the islands off its coast. It has a territorial dispute with Cambai over North Aguami, which Mayasa has controlled since 1946. The capital and largest city is Darwaba.

Yasha peoples migrated from the eastern portion of the continent in 9 BC and intermixed with Dashu natives by the 4th century AD. Modern-day Mayasa can trace its political legacy to the Ramim Dynasty, which dominated trade between West Verdantis and the new world from the 14th century to the 19th century. Following the decline of the Ramim Dynasty was the Republic of Mayasa in 1887. The Mayasi Civil War lasted from 1900 to 1945 with several brief periods of peace between warlords.

The United State of Mayasa was founded in Darwaba by Generalissimo Sisomengu Malegu on 1935 March 7. Shortly after the surrender of the Sisengo-Sha Republic, Sisomengu fell ill and died in 1946, being succeeded by his son, Romido Malegu. Romido formed the National Revolutionary Coalition in 1947, which was re-formalized as the Orthodox Party in 1949. Following political purges, Romido's administration pursued land reform from 1949-1952 then rapid industrialization of the military sector from 1952-1962. After thwarting three coup d'etat attempts during this period for being too 'radical', Romido actively persecuted the former aristocracy during the 60s and 70s. Several uprisings were put down from 1974-1985, after which Mayasa successfully achieved "self-sufficiency" with the ability to process its own minerals and produce its own arms. Romido retired in 1996 and was succeeded by his son, Daride, who has remained General-Director of the Armed Forces ever since.

Mayasa has been the top Verdantian exporter of arms, medicine, and processed minerals since 1988, albeit measuring poorly in measures of democracy, press freedom, and human rights. The country ranks well in healthcare.
