Ayvana refers to a region of Orchan organized into a confederation of princely states which borders Ankat and Jhengtsang to the east and Uluujol to the north. Made of up 6 Princely States who elect a Peshwa and Council of Ministers, the Confederation has many distintive political forms within it. Due to the peace accords that ended the Sandhyāra yud'dha farmers are no longer bound to any singular prince nor do they have to pay taxes on their crops. The princes no longer have demarcated borders but instead control cities or forts from which they can tax. Hence they do not have power outside cities, leading to distinctive sociopolitical models outside princely relams known as Ayvani Communalism - where farmers organize into agaraian communes led by charmatic religious figures. Unfortunatley, this distinctive sociopolitical form is now falling apart with urbanization and the growth of agribusinesss.
While no specific date exists for when the Confederation began, a historical consenus has emerged it began with the Sargenari Accords in 1743 where various Hindu Kingdoms organized with the Catholic kingdom Konikar to escape out of Shambhala hegemony. The Nizam of Ishur and other petty nobles joined the revolt as well. The so called Atapa Revolts which eventually morphed into The War of the Feuding Suns - a destructive war that completely reshaped the landscape of Southern Orchan . In 1785 the Wars ended the States united into a defense pact for their common protection. The kingdoms now found themselves further encroached by trade powers such as Tsurushima, Mutul, and Arthurista - who aquired numerous trading posts. The Confederation was further strenghened with the establishment of a common trading policy, standards for currency, and the creation of common trading cartels for goods such as tea or sugar.
The balance of power within Orchan was completely disturbed when Jhengtsang fell into revolution, and Ayvana would lead a regional colation against the revolutionary state. There would be a series of wars known as the Jhengtsangi Revolutionary Wars, totally changing the spital order in Orchan. Afterwards for over 30 years, from the 40s to 60s, Avyana would fall into a constant insurgency known as the Sandhyāra yud'dha. It's ending saw the effective end of fedualism in the country, and Princes were now forced to modernize. Ayvana quickly annexed many foreign trading cities on it's coast - threating to cut away water supplies - and began an economic boom.
Today Ayvana has a rapidly growing manufacturing based economy. The country is a major exporter of consumer goods, textiles, electronics, petroluem products, and steel. It's rapid growth has allowed quick diversification into new areas and establishing more of a service sector. However economic boom has developed massive vertically integrated conglomerates which dominate the country and have massive amounts of political influence. Many of those conglomerates also have stake held by the Princes - in many ways unifying the state and economy. The countries rapidly expanding cities are some of the densest in the world and contain extreme inequality.
