Ihram (Badawiyan: إحرام, romanized: Ihram; Tiheyâgh: ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ, romanized: ìh-sɑll’æn, lit. 'Land of the Salih Mountains'), officially the Ihramian Irfanic Shura Republics, is a sovereign state in Badawiya, bordered to the west by Tsabara and Zorasan, and to the South by Mabifia. The country's central location in Northern Coius, between Badawiya and Bahia, has made it a crossroads of trade and culture throughout its history. Aliya is the country's capital and its largest city, as well as an ancient economic and cultural centre, located strategically at the confluence of the waters that feed the great Khasiba river. The great majority of its people live near the banks of the Khasiba, where the only arable land is found outside of the large oases scattered throughout the sparsely populated western desert.
Ihram has been inhabited by the Sahra peoples since the late Bronze Age, and the earliest polities in the country's history consisted of Sahric tribal confederacies. Ancient Ihram was ruled by dynasties of Sahric judges and kings, and this period saw some of the earliest developments of writing, agriculture, astrology, astronomy, organised religion and central government. The ancestors of the Atudites later established early trade kingdoms in eastern Ihram along the Khasiba. Ihram's long and rich cultural heritage is an integral part of its national identity, and the nation has has endured foreign rule or assimilated cultural influences from a wide range of peoples, including Atudites, Pardarians, Badawiyans and most recently, in the modern era, the Gorsanids and Gaullicans. Ihram was an notable historical centre of Atudism and Sotirianity, but was largely Irfanicized in the seventh century and remains an Irfanic country, albeit with a significant population of various religious minorities.
