Shilagi, formally known as the Grand Duchy of Shilagi (Zoygarian: Vielkia Kiąžistva de Šilaži, Shilagino: Gran Ducato de Shilagi) is a semi-autonomous province of Zoygaria located near the Zoygarian coast. The Grand Duchy is further subdivided into five prefectures which share the names of the historical duchies whose land they inherited. Shilagi is de jure ruled by the Grand Duke of Shilagi, who serves as the head of state, but is de facto ruled by an appointed regent due to the Grand Duke's military service. The Grand Duchy of Shilagi was formed in [year] following the unification of the five Shilagino-speaking duchies into one state, later conquered by Zoygaria in 1400. The state is named for the Duke of Shilagi, under whom the other four Dukes swore fealty and whose family has reigned over the Grand Duchy semi-continuously since its founding. It is home to the Shilagino people, a Romance people with their own culture and language distinct from Zoygaria. The state has had a troubled history fraught with strained relations with Zoygaria, the most recent being the Shilagino Uprising amid the Reclamation War.
