The United Irfanic Republics of Ankula & Ngaji(Wopόǀό: ǃnso'ǂáán ǃŋajá-Áánǁúlìya), commonly known as Nasana, is a theocratic union of 55 million inhabitants in Bahia. The union is comprised of three countries; Ankula Coast, Greater Ankula and Ngaji. The states correspond with the major concentrated ethnic groups of Nasana; the East Ankula, West Ankula and Ngaji people. Nasana has a coast with the Banfura Sea to the south and to the west is Zorosan.

The region that is Nasana today was first inhabited by diverse groups of paleo-hunter gatherer people that spanned the Moon River. Fossil records indicate the Ashup'a Civilization rose in the river delta around 2800 BCE. Climatic changes would lead to the collapse of the Ashup'a city-states, as by the turn of the millennia, the Irfanics invaded or something.

Contact with Eucleans first occurred in the 14th century. The next few centuries would see the land split between the rising Nasani Caliphate and dominionized by both Gaullica and Werania. More of the Ankula coast would be pushed under colonial rule by the 19th century and a series of wars would lead to the subjugation of the inland Caliphate. Ngaji, taken as a refuge state by natives, was also soon conquered by Estmere. During years of colonial rule, known as ‘the Era of Occupation’ in Nasana, the territory would be rife with conflict and resistance. By the 20th century, violence within inland Nasana escalated and saw Greater Ankula re-establishing an indigenous Empire. Tension from the late 19th century into the 20th century would continue with periods of conflict until 1943, when the Nasani War would see the unification of the entire country from colonial rule.

The Irfanic state is centrally ruled by the Great Elder, who’s goal is to enforce Nasani-Irfanic law across the government and country. The Great Elder is elected from the National Assembly, which is composed of varying elected representatives. The Prime Minister is appointed by the Great Elder then reviewed and approved by the National Assembly.

History

Ancient

Ancestors of the Wopoto people first inhabited the area around 1,000BCE, pushed into modern -day Nasana by the expanding Aya’ki(Áya’ǁse, ایاکی) People. New theories suggest drought pushed both of the conflicted groups into Nasana. The Aya’ki settled in the highlands while the Wopoto settled along the Red Moon River in the lowlands, forming the Red Moon Delta Cultures. The Thatija(!aiǂja, ایجی) rose as a prominent city-state in 400 BCE and expanded to encompass a large empire, conquering other Wopoto cities and the Aya’ki groups. In 250 BCE the empire would collapse to a floods and earthquakes.

Imperial Decline

• Euclean contact is established(1602).
• Wopoto Empire collapses, leaving a fractured land of warring kingdoms(1701).
• Slave Trade with foreigners reaches highest volume, as Nasani countries wage war and extract tribute in the form of slaves for foreign arms(1714).
• Two Nasani states(Ankula and Ngaji rise to dominate inland, seeking to unify(1780).

Euclean Colonization

• Werania and Gaullica expand their colonial domaines in Nasana, Dietsmen settlers expand their frontier(1840).
• The First Nasani War begins, with Werania and Gaullica attempting to subjugate Ankula and Ngaji(1855-1868), war ends in stalemate, with Ankula and Ngaji uniting into Nasana.
• The Second Nasani War leads to the subjugation of Nasana, the coastal city of [wip] is captured(1889).
• Conscripted by colonial rulers to fight in the Great War, many Wopoto refuse to fight and the Isengo Massacre begins the Nasani Rebellion known as ‘The Bleeding’(1927).

Last Nasani War

• Nasana gains independence by force, is under constant contention by Euclean powers. Gaullica’s coastal colony is given to Estmere post-Great War(1936).
• All colonies in Nasana gain independence, Eucleans leave backing pro-Euclean and dominated governments(1942).
• Nasana invades the Coast, former colonial powers respond, supporting Coastal Nasana with arms and troops(1943).
• Zorasan supports Greater Nasana with arms and manpower, turning the tide of the war(1946).
• The Last Nasani War ends, with Nasani conquest of former colonies and rise of the Irafnic theocracy(1953).
