The Commonwealth of Sokhanistan is a verdant and mountainous country located between rainforests, cloud forests, and fertile coastal plains. Its cultural heartland lies in the highlands, where ancient trade routes and terraced agriculture have shaped its history. The coastal regions, particularly near Sassalagohan, the largest city and economic center, are vibrant hubs of commerce and diversity.
The country is a syndicalist state governed by Mazdakite Zoroastrian principles, focusing on equality, communal welfare, and environmental stewardship. Each province operates as a semi-autonomous commune, with national decisions made through a council system that emphasizes consensus and direct democracy.
Sokhanistan is home to a variety of religious communities, with a majority adhering to Mazdakite Zoroastrianism and a notable Pushpambara Jain minority near the coast. The country also includes smaller communities of Sikhs, Jews, Christians, and Sufi Muslims.
Etymology
The name Sokhanistan is derived from the Sokhainean (or Soxainean) word Sokh, meaning "pure." The term Sokh refers to the purity of the people, their culture, and their connection to nature and ethical ideals. The suffix -stan, a Persian word meaning "land" or "place of," is commonly used in the names of countries in Central Asia and the surrounding regions. Therefore, Sokhanistan translates to "Land of the Pure People," reflecting the nation's emphasis on purity in both its cultural heritage and its guiding principles of equality, communal welfare, and environmental stewardship.
