Maradra, also known as the Kingdom of Aouni Maradra (ⵟⴰⴳⴻⵍⴷⴰ ⴷⴻⴳ ⵄⵡɛⵓⵏⵉ ⵎⵓⵔⴰⴷⵔⴰⵔ tl. ) or simply as Aouni Maradra, is a country in the northern continent of Coius that resides on the border between Rahelia and Bahia. It borders the Florian Ocean to the north, Sohar and Behera to the west, and Bamvango to the south. The country's population of over 29 million is predominantly Rahelio-Inizean and Irfanic, though there is a significant Bahian ethnic minority in the east and south of the country and a smaller——though still socially significant——Sotirian and Atudite minority in the coastal regions. Rahelian and Inizean are the official languages of the country, though multiple dialects of Rahelian, Janubian languages, as well as Estmerish are all spoken in various areas throughout the country. Located at the crossroads of empires and trade, the country has developed a unique culture which infuses various aspects of Rahelian, Euclean, and Bahian cultures.
The region came under human habitation dating back to the Neolithic Era, with major settlements being made by the Inizeans—followed by Rahelians—both along the coast and northern interior of the country. The southern regions of the country, by contrast, were dominated by Bahian tribal groups. Port settlements, many founded by or around the time of the Demiscians, brought mercantile trade routes into the area. Invasion by the Second Heavenly Dominion would see to most of the region adopting Irfan, leading to its centralization as the primary religion of the region. The adoption of Irfan would also see the first unified polities in the country, with the Karammite Sultanate dominating the north while a confederation of tribes known as the Mboolo dominated the south. Trade of both men and materials around the northern tip of Bahia would prove lucrative, greatly enriching the Rahelian and Inizean tribal leaders.
The region would eventually begin to see rising influence from Euclea, including political, military, and economic reforms, culminating in then Aouni Sultan Mohamed IV signing the Plauditory Pact of 1802 with the Estmerish monarchy. This pact would keep the nominal independence of the region, though it was tightly bound to the Estmerish colonial empire—including in various aspects of administration and economic matters. Despite this, the Maradra was a de-facto colonial possession. Raids by tribes within the Mboolo, now weakened by in-fighting and the collapse of Bahian slavery, would prompt an Estmero-Maradran intervention to pacify the region. Estmerish forces, backed by Maradran askari, would quickly rout the fragmented southern polity and incorporate it into the rest of their empire.
