Syalat (Khas Kura: ཤྱལཏ), also known as the Jackal Coast, is a country in central Ochran stretching across the southern shore of the Chulha Sea. Its mountainous interior is bounded by the nations of Ankat and Shimlar-Pashmir to the east and south. The capital is Aphimagarh, formerly a minor city in the central highlands which was rebuilt and converted into the seat of the national government, relocating the administration away from the old capital and the current largest city Kaloprayaga. The country is named for the narrow strip of flat, arable coastal land along the southern edge of the Chulha sea where most of the population, economic activity, and major cities such as Kaloprayaga are concentrated. This eponymous Jackal Coast extends from the northern extremes where the steppes and badlands known as the Sunyata meet the sea to the far southwestern Azaghartian enclave of Pakhtunkwa. The hinterlands are dominated by the Prathara, a vast plateau region sitting between the lowlands of the Jackal Coast and the spine of the Devalaya mountains which mark the country's borders with its overland neighbors. The Prathara stands at an average elevation of 3,500 meters and is almost entirely arid, relying heavily on seasonal snowmelt from the upper mountain slopes to supply water to the plateau's towns and cities.
The government of Syalat is an ecclesiarchy in which temporal authority is principally vested within the religious institutions of the Agamana. The monastic establishment governs by way of the Gaxag council, a quadripartite body consisting of four Kalon ministers who collectively wield executive power. Democracy plays a limited role in the governance of Syalat through the national consultative assemblies, whose membership is extracted from the religious and lay officials of the country for the purposes of advising the Kalons of the Gaxag as to the state of the country and the grievances of the common people. In practice, these assemblies draft legislative proposals and policy recommendations that the Gaxag can elect to adopt as state policy at their discretion.
