Sumahtera, officially the Sanctumist Kingdom of Sumahtera, is a country in South Asia. It is the Seventh-most populous country, with a population of over 241.5 million, having the largest Sanctumist population as of 2023. Pountnigi is the nation's capital, while Oritrea is its largest city and economic centre. Sumathera is the 96th-largest country by area, 30th largest in Asia . Bounded by the Arabian Sea on the south, the Sumei Mountains on the West and North, and the disputed Sir Creek on the southeast, it shares land borders with India to the southeast, Kerranastan to the North and West and Terassia to the east. It shares a maritime border with Oman in the Gulf of Oman.
Sumathera is the site of several ancient cultures, including the 9,000-year-old Neolithic site of Tauganou in the Kessia Province, the Teras Watershed Culture of the Bronze Age, and the ancient Usambi civilisation. The regions that comprise the modern state of Sumahthera were the realm of multiple empires and dynasties, including the Achaemenid, the Summa, the Ishan and the Falmashd Phantium. In its Eastern regions, the Samma, the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughals, but most recently, the Holy Summu Empire from 1677 to 1922 which at its largest spanned from India to Kyrgyzstan.
During the 1910s the empire started to desintigrate into sucessor states mostly peaceful and by 1915 the empire gave up the West Tibet provinces to China, the Kyrgyzstan provinces to Russia and the Garmser Province to Afghanistan and Qajar Iran. However visions of independence were strong in regions on the otherside of the Sumei Mountains and in 1918 when the Kerranastan Independence Party was formed the Provinces formed a Confederation against the empire. Though militraily and economically superior, the Army of the empire could not find a suitable way through the Sumei Mountains and did not want to pass through Raj Territory. And while naval combat wasn't ineffective it was expensive and so the in 1922 the government declared that Kerranastan could secede from the Empire. What was left by 1922 was the Homeland States and the Codominion of Anglo-Suman India. After the constant sucession of territory a political faction led by nationalist Hierophant Malich Hashamandel gained signifiecnt power and overthrew the century old government with near total support from the Military in 1928. During this time feelings of nationalism and xenophobia were pushed into Suman Society, an idea of communitarism became a center part of Suman Ideology although his heir started to make nationalism less common during his reign.
Sumahtera is considered a middle power nation, with the world's eighth-largest standing armed forces. It is a declared nuclear-weapons state, and is ranked amongst the emerging and growth-leading economies, with a large and rapidly-growing middle class. Sumahtera's political history since independence has been characterized by periods of significant economic and military growth as well as those of political and economic instability. It is an ethnically and linguistically diverse country. The country continues to face challenges, including poverty, corruption, and terrorism. Sumahtera is a member of the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the Organisation of Sanctumist Nations, South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, BRICS and is designated as a major non-NATO ally by the United States.
Etymology
The term "Sumah" finds its roots in the state religion of Sanctumism meaning God but in this context and in Traditional Sanctumism ir means Holy or Sacred. "Tera," on the other hand, traces its origins back to the Tsuma language, where "Theeras" signifies "earth" or "land." Together, "Sumah Tera" means God-Land in literal english. The term was first used in the context of a country by Hierophant Draja Vishnuprakash in 1898 to describe the homeland region where Sanctumism was originated, although its use by Malich Hashamandel suggests it to be a term to describe a pure sacred place. Its first use outside of politics however was in 1222 describing a place of Luxury and Comfort although its usage was never commonplace.
