Pardistan (Pardi: پاردیستان; Pardīstān ), known officially as the Republic of Pardistan (Pardi: د پردستان جمهوريت; Da Pardīstān Jumhoryat) is a sovereign nation in Kylaris on the continent of Coius. Situated on the shores of the Mazdan Sea, the country borders Zorasan to the east, Ajahadya to the south, and Devagara and Ladaca to the west. Its capital is Kāmesar which is also its largest city, a major port and economic hub, and one of many cultural centers throughout the country.

Pardistan has been inhabited for many millennium, with the first settlements in the region dating back to between the 3rd and 5th millennium BCE. Largely serving as a border between the Hydanian and Satrian civilizations to the south and west, and the Badawiyan and Pardarian civilizations to the north and east, the region was home to a myriad of disparate peoples, religions, customs, cultures, and polities. The Athyawana civilization was one of the first to fully unify the country in the 2nd century CE, though it was ultimately subsumed and vassalized as a subject kingdom of the larger Arasanid Empire. The region briefly broke free of the Arasanid Empire during the rise of Irfan, forming the Maharaba Empire, though the empire itself saw itself conquered by the First Heavenly Dominion as part of the Irfanic Conquests. Despite its defeat the region actually began to prosper economically, culturally, and socially as a result of the Irfanic Golden Age, with its position proving lucrative in creating and maintaining trade routes in the region.

The region was once again given a degree of independence with the formation of the Gorsanid Empire, though the local ruler still swore fealty to the Gorsani Shah. The region once again briefly broke free of the Gorsanid Empire during the Etrurian colonization of the region, though it was itself conquered by 1865 as part of the nominally independent Hydania Libera, with a scion of the Pasdani monarchy serving as head of state. The region remained largely peaceful throughout much of the 20th-century, though the implementation of conscription laws did cause a series of riots that were forcibly put down by Etrurian authorities. The region participated in the Great War on the side of the Grand Alliance, alongside its colonizer, participating crucially in the Satrian front of the war. Pardi troops also served in multiple theatres of war, both in Coius itself and around the globe, with many developing an interest in "radical" political ideologies. This led to unrest following the conclusion of the Great War as the local population sought independence from Etruria. These efforts would be stymied, however, until the collapse of Etruria's colonial holdings following the Solarian War. With the region in disarray, and Pardaran in the throes of civil war, Pardistan was able to establish itself as an independent nation-state seperate from the rest of Zorasan.

Tensions increased following the conclusion of the Pardarian Civil War and the execution of the Shah, as many surviving royals, aristocrats, and political exiles began to flood into the country. This, in addition to latent political radicalism stemming from the Great War, prompted the local monarchy to tighten political and social controls over the region and establish an authoritarian state. An abortive effort by the Pardarian Revolutionary Resistance Command to Battle of Nesi Kowt Pass the region failed, and its continued independence was secured. Further attempts at creating a Pasdanate society in the region served to only alienate nationalists, conservatives, and religious minorities alike, ultimately culminating in a popular revolution which overthrew the monarchy.

Attempting to create a broad coalition that stretched across ethnic, religious, and political lines, the revolutionaries spent the next two years constructing a constitution which would enshrine the rights of religious and ethnic minorities, while also giving significant leeway to local and regional political actors. This would result in the creation of the modern Republic of Pardistan. The national political situation would remain tenuous for many years, though the country would ultimately stabilize under the leadership of President Pamir Solangi. Subsequent administrations would build on the sociopolitical and economic progress Solangi created, though a growing disconnect between the liberal and populous coast and the conservative and barren interior would develop. In addition, corruption and nepotism is rife in the region. Despite these challenges, which also include at times hostile neighboring regimes, the country remains modestly prosperous if unequally so.
