Kadaria (Kayig: Qādām), officially the Irfanic Republic of Kadaria (Kayig: Qādam Îrfan Cumhûriyet-i), is a sovereign unitary Irfanic republic located in Northern Coius. The nation borders, from clockwise, the Florian Ocean, Ilram, Tsabara, and Nise.
The nation has one of the longest histories of any country, tracing its heritage back to the 6th millenium BCE. Considered a cradle of civilisation, Ancient Kadaria saw some of the earliest developments of writing, agriculture, urbanization, organized religion and central government. The Qaira Necropolis, Great Sphinx, and Valley of Kings are iconic monuments of this period and remain a significant focus of scientific and popular interest in the modern day. The Lower Kingdoms were eventually conquered by the expanding First Teipsid Empire in the late 7th century BCE, and by the mid-6th century were fully incorporated into the Teipsid Empire. In the subsequent centuries of Teipsid control, eastern Kadaria underwent extensive persification and witnessed the settlement of Indo-Iranian peoples. Eastern Kadaria would remain under Teipsid control until the 4th century CE. Teipsid-influenced kingdoms would emerge in the aftermath of Teipsid withdrawal from Kadaria, the largest of which being the Asenic Kingdom based out of Pila. The Asenic Kingdom would last until 690 CE when rebellion would break and splintered the kingdom. In the following centuries, various local and foreign dynasties would seize power and exert influence over the Kadaria.
Etymology
The historical name of Kadaria is "Gedrosia" (Hellenic: Γεδρωσία; Imperial Kadarian: 風門), the Hellenisation of the Sekharian name for north coast of Kadaria. The native name, "Gādar", is a combination of Old Sekharian gāta, meaning "wind," and atar, meaning "gateway," thus "Gādar" meaning "Gateway of the winds." The incorporation of the Ozerian coast into the rapidly expanding Teispid Empire saw Gedrosia gradually supplant localised names for the region, including the Anumidian Taset ("curved land"). The successor polities of the Teispid Empire would continue to use the name Gedrosia, most notably the Kingdom of Gedrosia. Gedrosia would remain in use in the following centuries until the Varchonitai would consolidate power in Iotopha, and Ozerian Kadaria.
The Anglic word "Kadaria" (Imperial Kadarian: 塞外 Romanisation Qādām) is believed to be derived from the hypothetical Turkic word *Qasar, reflecting the root qaz- meaning "to roam, to ramble" and relates to the historical nomadic nature of the tribes inhabiting Kadaria at the time of Turkic expansion into the area. The name "Qasaria" was first applied to the eastern coast of Kadaria by the Varchonitai in the 13th century. Through phonetic shifts, "Qasaria" would be corrupted to "Kadaria."
In official parlance, Kadaria refers to itself as the "Great and Celestial Realm of the Teispid Court-in-Kadaria" (Imperial Kadarian: 大天界鐵朝中國; Romanisation: Devlet-i Göksel-i ʿAlīye-i Teşpeşīye Mehkemeye-i-Qādām). This nomenclature reflects the belief held by the House of Candar that they are the successors of the First Teispid Empire. Unofficially, a number of poetic names are used alike by both the nation's citizens and foreigners. Among these terms are the names: "Middle Kingdom" (Imperial Kadarian: 中國; Romanisation: Orta-i Heqalîk) which reflects the widely held belief of Kadarians that their nation is the centre of Scipian and Ozerian culture, and "Great Kadaria" (Imperial Kadarian: 大中國; Romanisation: ʿAlīye-i-Qādām) which reflects tradition Varchonitai nomenclature. Since the early 20th century, the term has been expanded as Kadaria began to assert its legitimacy as the successors to the old Anumindian dynasties which referred to their kingdoms as such.
Other polities in both Scipia and the wider world refuse to recognise Kadaria as the sole successor to the Teispid Empire and thus opt to use political neutral terms to refer to Kadaria. These terms typically manifest in the form of the "Kadarian Realm" (Imperial Kadarian: 中朝; Romanisation: Devlet-i-Qādām) or the "Jandarid Empire" (Imperial Kadarian: 鐵朝; Romanisation: Devlet-i Candarlıye).
