Abnan, officially the Confederacy of Abnan or Gartjaneba of Abnan, or simply the Gartjaneba is a country in western Orientalis. Abnan is a country located in central Orientalis between the northern tropic and the Equator. The Jaryt Mountains, located at the northern borders keep watch over the deserts of central Abnan: the Usqalo and the Kvideli, which clash with the rainforests of the Tsfima. It is bordered by the neighbouring countries of Agtesh to the north, Daladaga to the west, Nalekia to the southeast and Canaboro to the southwest along with the Mokhatjal nomads.
Abnan's capital city is Ogromitsa, colloquially called Ogro, which is historically, religiously and culturally important and plays a key role in the national identity of the confederacy. Its second-largest city: Hapar is ranked as an alpha city by the World Census and is a major global trading port, spreading its influence across the continent. Other major cities include Sazai (7,163,694), Laharnu (5,761,224), Hameshan (5,160,990), Yenawarad (4,696,212) and Pagast (2,234,759). The commonwealth is 603,628 km² in size with a population of just below 34 million. The country is known for being a biodiversity hotspot with alpine creatures from the northern peaks, desert species from the central wilderness and tropical animals of the southern jungles. Abnan has a GDP scraping 1 trillion with a nominal GDP per capita of roughly thirty thousand.
Abnan's history is complex and involves several empires of several peoples. It first became an entity in the year 604, when King Bidzina of Maghal took advantage of a power vaccuum in the northern kingdom of Hyazgar caused by the death of their king: Soso, and was then dealt a terminal blow with the arrival of the Great Heathen Army of the Mokhatjal in 600. Bidzina then amassed a force to attack Hyazgar, and threatened to ally with the Mokhatjal if they didn't hand him the crown, which they did. After a series of conquests in Mokhatjal-held Abnan and the crushing of a combined force of Mokhatjal and Hyazgar rebels at the Battle of Hahhal, Bidzina established the solidity of 'Abnan' and his grip on the region. Abnan would later become part of Agteshi Empire in 1521 until gaining independence on May 16th, 1989, almost 5 decades later.
Abnan is a leading exporter of cotton and copper with both sectors making up 32 percent of the GDP and the country ranks high in terms of export. The Tsfima Rainforest also has decent quantities of copper, tin, nickel, bauxite, manganese, iron ore and gold, making it fairly attractive to mining companies all around the world. The agriculture sector follows next, with delicacies such as the wāwalan and the hemedafruit, most present in the rich and humid tropics of Abnan. Abnan is also a good tourist destination. The warm, windy beaches of Tsohilt and its cyan seas offer a pristine vacation spot. Other landmarks include the Tsagān, a series of fortifications extending across southern Abnan, the Zazale, one of the greatest palaces of Valsora, and the Kviskveta, a collection of underground stone carved cities, towns, and walls. They contribute to the renown of Abnan.
Etymology
The first record of an antecedent to the country's current name is found in the Stele of Iyarinu c. 270, where the king of the Nesilites, Iyarinu, boasts of his triumphs and his triumphs to come. Nesil (natively known as Nesa) was the dominant power in the region during the long reign of Iyarinu's predecessor, Mutarki the Great, but Iyarinu and one of his nearest successors, Arna III, faced major invasions. The problems began in Iyarinu's 5th year, when a Nalekian king invaded Nesil from the west in alliance with various Harganite rebels. Iyarinu achieved a great victory in the summer of that year, and the inscription is mainly about this. The final lines deal with an apparently separate campaign in the North. Traditionally the Nesilites had concerned themselves only with cities, so the problem presented by the arriving Abnanis must have been something new – possibly attacks on Nesil's vassals in Harganu. Iyarinu and Arna fought off their enemies, but it was the beginning of the end of Nesil's control over Harganu and the decline of the Nesilite Empire as a whole.
The name featured in the Iyarinu Stele has been adopted by several nations in order to describe the peoples living in the area subsequent to the Harganites and not the land but later was due to the Harganites being wiped out or either assimilated and the Abnani being the dominant race. The land and the peoples were previously known as Harganu and Harganite respectively and is still sometimes referred to in religious contexts. The name Harganu means conquered in Nesilite. The name Apnan was used by the Agteshi which comes from Nesilite appanan meaning behind to describe the new invading peoples. Geographically speaking, this would be accurate as from the perspective of the Nesilites, the land was beyond the [Jaryt] Mountains, but still would make sense to describe the Harganites too. It could be possible that both names were used, but were separated in order to distinguish from the two peoples in the area.
History
Prehistory
The prehistory of Abnan is the period between the first human habitation of the territory of modern-day nation of Abnan (not the ethnicity) and the time when Nesalite and Kuzumite, and more firmly, the Classical accounts, brought the proto-Harganite tribes into the scope of recorded history. The oldest traces of archaic humans in what is now Abnan date from approximately 1.8 million years ago in the form of the Maghal hominins, a subspecies of Homo erectus representing the oldest-known fossils of hominins in western Orientalis.
