Kadaria (Kayig: Ⲕⲁⲇⲓϫⲉ, Kādiye), officially the Irfanic Republic of Kadaria (Kayig: Ⲕⲁⲇⲓϫⲉ Ⲏⲣϥⲁⲛ Ϭⲩⲙϧⲩⲣⲓⲩⲉⲧ-ⲓ, Kādiye Êrfan 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. Husna were the dominant political unit during Ancient Kadaria, the most dominant being the cities of Kismuhenet, Djande, and Tappisut. In the 16th century BCE, the Kadarian Empire was established centered around the husna of Tjene. The founding of the Kadarian Empire is considered the start of the Dynastic period in Kadaria historiography.

The Kadarian Empire became the dominant power of northern Badawiya, with the polity coming into regular conflict with the neighboring Anniserians and Sahra nomads to the south. Following the former's collapse and eventual conquest, Dynastic Kadaria found itself in conflict with the Solarian and later Verliquoian empires. Starting the in the 2nd century CE, Kadaria began to enter a state of decline. By the time of the Irfanic Conquests in the 7th century CE, Dynastic Kadaria was on the brink of collapse and the majority of it was easily conquered by the Irfanic Second Heavenly Dominion. A nominally independent rump state centered around the city of Ispandikyan remained free of Heavenly Dominion control. This independence would be short-lived however, and the Tagames would conquer and settle the area following their repulsion from Euclea in 882. The ruling Tagamic class would adopt much of the native Masri culture, giving way to a unique Tagamo-Masric culture that persists to the modern day. Under the new Anushtegin dynasty much of the territory lost to the Irfanic conquests was regained. Attempts at a Kadarian resurgence on the world stage continuously backfired and served to only further the nation into debt and decline. In 1855, the last sultan of Kadaria, Mehmet V would be forcibly removed from power and Kadaria would become an Estmerish protectorate.

Independence would be officially regained in 1935 following the end of the Great War and during the Red Revolution, although Kadaria had effectively operated as an independent nation following the collapse of Estmere in 1929. Estmere recognzied Kadarian independence in 1936 and in 1938, the two countries signed the Estmero-Kadarian Friendship Treaty, giving Estmere immense influence over the economic and political affairs of the country. During the immediate post-war period, Kadaria experienced immense economic growth and development as government-sanctioned labor corps were hired out for rebuilding projects across war-torn Euclea. Despite this, the nascent Kadarian government was viewed as being beholden to Euclean, specifically Estmerish, interests, and the ruling government found itself becoming increasingly unpopular. Tensions boiled over with the 1951 Irfanic Revolution that overthrew the ruling government and eastblished an Anti-Euclean republic based on broad Irfanic, anti-colonial, and anti-imperial ideologies. Under the new theocratic government, Kadaria underwent a geopolitical realignment that saw it align with ideologically similar nations in Coius. Beginning in the 2000s, a concilliatory policy towards Euclean nations was enacted, however the outbreak of the Tsabaran Civil War brought it to an abrupt end.

Politically, the nation is officially a unitary, Candarist, Irfanic republic with all political authority centered around the Kılağuz and the National Guidance Council. The National Guidance Council governs the nation unchallenged. The body is made up of 23 members and is composed of influential military officers, Irfanic clergymen, and technocrats. In addition to being the sole executive authority for the nation, the Council for National Guidance serves as the main policy making body for the Irfanic Republican Party. The Meclisi of the Irfanic Republic serves as the nation's legislature, and is composed of 620 seats. Of these seats, 350 are allocated to citizens, 220 are allocated to Irfanic clergy, and 50 are allocated to the military. The Irfanic Republican Party is the sole legal political party of the country, however several umbrella political groups exist that are subordinate to it. These umbrella groups are used to influence and advance the interests of the national government.

Kadaria possesses a high Human Development Index score and an overall above-average level of human development marked by high levels of industrialization. The nation is classified by the Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs as a medium-industrialized country and boasts a GDP (PPP) of $2.108 trillion. Kadaria possesses vast mineral wealth with notable deposits of phosphates, gold, silver, cobalt, chromium, copper, and zinc present. Since the Irfanic revolution, Kadaria has consistently ranked poorly in human rights, and since the 1980s, international observers note systemic human right abuses by the national government. This has led to Kadaria being considered one of the most authortarian in the world. Additionally, the country consistently scores low in LGBTQ+, Women's Rights, and Press Freedom indicies. Kadaria is a founding member of the Irfanic Cooperative Congress, a member of the International Forum for Developing States, and an observer in the !Estmerophone.

Etymology

The historical name of Kadaria is "Gedrosia" (Piraean: Γεδρωσία), the Hellenisation of the Pardarian name for north coast of Kadaria. The Pardarian name, "Gādar", is a combination of words} gāta, meaning "wind," and atar, meaning "gateway," thus "Gādar" meaning "Gateway of the winds." Following the expansion of the Solarian Empire into northern Coius, the name "Gedrosia" entered the common vernacular. The successor polities of the Solarian empire would continue to use the name Gedrosia to refer to the geographical area of Kadaria. Gedrosia would remain in use in the following centuries until the Tagamic conquest of the area in the 9th century.

The Estmerish word "Kadaria" (Kayig: Ⲕⲁⲇⲓϫⲉ, Kādiye) is of an unknown origin but two theories regarding its etymology are acknowledged. One theory proposed by Gaullican etymologist Rodolphe Boissonade in 1966 proposes the word 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 Tagemic tribes at the time of conquest rather than any relation to the pre-migration population present. The second theory, first proposed by Estmerish linguist Rowan Lowe in 1924, proposes that the name Kadaria is simply a phonetic evolution of the original Pardarian name "Gādar".

Politics

Kadaria is officially a unitary, Candarist, Irfanic republic and is codified in the 1952 Declaration of the Founding Principles of the Irfanic Republic. Because of the pervasiveness of the National Guidance Council and Kılağuz, the country is considered to be broadly authoritarian with theocratic and stratocratic tendencies due to the heavy involvement of Irfanic clergy and military in the day-to-day running of the nation.

The highest political authority of the nation is the kılağuz (Ⲕⲓⲗⲁⲅⲩⲍ, "Guide"), who possesses a monopoly on power and all state bodies are required to directly obey the Kılağuz's orders. The position of Kılağuz is held for life, although theorectically the National Guidance Council can vote to remove the holder from office.

Underneath the supreme leader is the National Guidance Council (Ⲙⲓⲗⲗⲉⲧ Ⲕⲓⲗⲁⲅⲩⲍⲗⲩⲕ Ⲕⲟⲛⲥⲉϫ-ⲓ, MKK), which functions in a role analogous to a cabinet in modern liberal democracies. In addition to this role, the National Guidance Council also functions as the central committee for the Irfanic Society for the Republic. Together, the position of kılağuz and the National Guidance Council form the national executive.

The Meclisi of the Irfanic Republic (Ⲙⲉϭⲗⲓⲥⲓ, "Parliament") is the nation's legislature, however, it holds no real functional power as laws and decrees can be made into law on the direct orders of the Kılağuv. Despite this, the Meclisi is able to draft legislation, ratify international treaties, and draft the national budget. These are all symbolic. The Meclisi is made up of 620 members; 350 of which are allocated to the civilian populace, 220 allocated to the Irfanic clergy, and the remaining 50 being allocated to the military. The civilian seats are directly elected through first-past-the-post voting, with candidates needing to be pre-approved by either the Kılağuv or the Sublime Guardianship Committee (Ϫⲩϭⲉ Ϩⲁⲥⲓ Ⲕⲟⲙⲓⲧⲉ-ⲓ, YVK) and must be a member of the Irfanic Society for the Republic. The clergy seats are all appointed by the Kılağuz under the recommendation of the National Clergy Association. Clergy are not limited to just being appointed to these seats, however, and it is not uncommon for clergy to stand as candidates to be elected to civilian seats. All military seats are also appointed by the Kılağuv under the recommendation of the military-wing of the National Guidance Council. The Kılağuv and the Sublime Guardianship Committee can dismiss members of the Meclisi at any point as they deem fit.
