Ajahadya (Gaullican: Adjadie), officially the Union of Republics of Satria (Gaullican: Union des Républiques de Satrie) is a is a federal presidential republic in Satria. It is bordered to the east by Zorasan and xx, to the south by Dakata and Baekjeong, to the west by Subarna and to the north by Devagara and xx. It has a population of 166,112,000, a nominal GDP of $811,955,456,000, and is a founding member of ROSPO. It is regarded as a regional power in Satria.

Located in the Bashurat River Basin, home to one of the cradles of civilisation, the valley was first united under the Sangma Dynasty in 12 BC, which would last for the next 1200 years, although a scholarly consensus has emerged that the Sangma Dynasty was not one continuous line of descent, but should instead be considered to be similar to the Xiaodongese concept of the Mandate of Heaven. The Sangma Empire can be split into four periods, the Early Period, lasting from the founding of the dynasty in 12 BC to the disposition of Vikramaditya Jatavarman III in a coup in 116 AD and the following First Interregnum, a period of civil war from 116 AD to the reunification of the empire in 140 AD by Vikramaditya Mahendra I, the Middle Period from 140 AD to 211 AD, sometimes also referred to as the Mahendra Period which ended with the Second Sangma Interregnum, which would last for most of the 3rd Century until Susarman I reunified the lands and claimed the mantle of the Sangma.

What followed was the High Period of the Sangma Dynasty, lasting until 1247 AD. Considered the high point of the empire, this period saw a period of cultural and religious growth, with the arrival of new faiths such as Badi and Irfan into the empire's borders from the Great Coian Steppe and the sea, and a series of wars as the empire gradually contracted and then expanded again in wars against its neighbours and as Thakurs declared independence or attempted to take the empire for themselves. The period ended with the defeat and death of Durlabha I in battle against Al-Samid in Battle of Mukta and the establishment of the Alsamid Heavenly Dominion. From 1247 until 1439, the Sangma Empire declined in power and influence as internal revolts and foreign wars weakened the empire until the last Chhatrapati, Ajayapala I, died in 1439. Upon his death, the Thakurs had his heir murdered and the Sangma Empire broke apart.

None of the successor states had the power of the Sangma, and so the Bashurat Valley remained divided for the next century until the invasions of the Togoti Khanate under Manzur Khan and Arslon Khan conquered the various Thakurates in the mid to late 1500s. Under Gurkhan the Togoti would grown into one of the largest empires in history, destroying the Gorsanid Empire and conquering southern Zorasan, weakening the Alsamid Heavenly Dominion and invading Xiaodong across the Shalegho Mountains. Although not successful in his conquest, and indeed dying in 1662, Gurkhan's invasion weakened the Jiao Dynasty and allowed the Senrian Toki Dynasty to take power. Gurkhan's empire did not survive his death, and after a brief war his sons Ajahad and Khardar agreed to split the empire between them, with Ajahad inheriting the Satrian lands and Khardar the Zorasani lands.

The Rajadom of Ajahadya, as Ajahad's territory would become known, would reconquer parts of the former Togoti Khanate from other successor states and would fight a series of wars to retain its independence in the face of Euclea!Euclean colonialism throughout the later 1700s and 1800s, eventually securing its nominal independence through a diplomatic balancing act between Euclean powers. The Rajadom would collapse after its surrender in the Great War, with the current government being established after the Ajahadyan Civil War. Ajahadya would fight in the Solarian War to reclaim territories lost to Etruria in the Great War, and in multiple following conflicts as it sought to unify the continent under one government. Since the 1980s, Ajahadya has undergone the process of rebuilding and modernisation of its economy and military after its defeat and near collapse in the Third Satrian War and Dakatan War, following Nishant Balchandra's policy of 'Hide your strength, find your allies, bide your time' which all presidents since have followed over the more aggressive military policies previously.

Etymology

The name Ajahadya, as used commonly by Eucleans, is derived from the Ajahadid Dynasty that ruled the area following the collapse of the Togoti Khanate, which is usually called the Rajadom of Ajahadya. The dynasty in turn takes its name from its founder, Ajahad I, the first Raja of the dynasty and from where it derives its name. Within Ajahadya itself, the name is used to refer to the territorial area of the state, but formally the state's full title of Union of Federal Republics of Satria is used to reflect the state ideology of Pan-Satrianism.

Politics and Government

The federal government of Ajahadya is established in a presidential framework as established in the Constitution of 1937, loosely modelled after Euclean democracies. However, the leaders of the UFRS did not believe that a Euclean-style democracy would work in a unified Satria, and several notable differences have led Ajahadya to be considered a southern democracy by many Euclean commentators. Ajahadyan governments have routinely protested this classification, citing its commitment at the federal and state levels to creating a 'people's democracy with Satrian characteristics.'

Executive

Executive power at the federal level in Ajahadya is held by the President of the Union, elected by direct popular vote every 8 years, unless a President dies in office in which case an election is held immediately to a new 8-year term. Elections for president are considered to be largely free and fair by international electoral observers, while the populous nature of Ajahadya prevents the use of political machines to shape electoral results at the federal as has been seen in state-level Ajahadyan politics.

The President is independent from the legislative and the judiciary, but has some influence over the legislative through the Premier of the Union, who is appointed and dismissed at will by the President and serves as the Speaker of Parliament and by appointing members of the Satrian Federal Court.

The President has no formal term limits, however it is rare for a President to serve more than a single term in office in the modern era, with the last being Nishant Balchandra who served as President from 1981 to 1997 following the death of Arjuna Kalsarah while in office in 1981. Two-term presidents were more common historically, with Jalender Sarai serving two full terms from 1950 to 1966 and Aman Sabanis being elected twice in 1966 and 1974 before his death later that year in a Subarnan airstrike on a military convoy he was travelling with. No President has ever been elected three times, although Nishant Balchandra stood as a candidate in the 1997 Ajahadyan presidential election.

Legislative

Ajahadya has a unicameral legislative, formally the Parliament of the Union of Federated Republics of Satria, normally referred to as the Ajahadyan Parliament. The Ajahadyan Parliament elects 500 members through a closed party list system . All parties that succeed in winning seats are constitutionally bound to join the Satrian National Front as bloc parties. Many Euclean commentators have stated that this effectively makes Ajahadya a one-party state under the rule of the Satrian National Front.

However, Ajahadyan political commentators have noted the extent to which the Satrian National Front is one unified party or little more than a de jure grouping with no limited power varies dramatically between Presidents and Premiers. The ability of the Premier to get legislation passed by the Parliament is often seen as a measure of confidence in the President's ability to rule and in their policies, and it is rare for an ineffective Premier to last long before they are dismissed by the President.

Euclean commentators have also noted the difficulty in getting parties onto the ballot, and independent candidates are illegal.

Judiciary

The judicial branch of the Ajahadyan government is formed by the Satrian Federal Court which serves as the nation's supreme court. Its members are appointed by the President, and it functions as the main court for matters of constitutional and civil law.

Demographics

Ethnicity

Ethnic Demographics of Ajahadya
  Himavantan (37%)
  Sataristani (28%)
  Zubadi (26%)
  Togoti (7%)
  Other (2%)

Ajahadya is a multiethnic country, with no single ethnic group making up a majority of the population. The largest ethnic group in Ajahadya are the Himavantans, compromising roughly 37% of the population according to the 2018 Federal Census who live in the southwest of the country, with the next largest group, the Sataristani, compromise roughly 28% of the population and live in the west of the country, primarily centered along the river networks that flow through the region in the Bashurat Valley. The Zubadi people make up around 26% of the population and live primarily in the north-west and center of the country, and the Togoti make up some 7% of the population and live mainly in the sparsely-populated east of Ajahadya which is part of the Great Coian Steppe. The remaining 2% are various Satrian ethnic groups, usually migrants from Ajahadya's neighbours.

Despite the lack of an ethnic majority, the country is largely united under a single Pan-Satrian identity that first began to form under Euclean colonialism in the Satrian subcontinent that became part of the official state ideology in after the Ajahadyan Civil War.

Ajahadya is notable among Coian states for its strict anti-discrimination laws on ethnic or religious grounds, which have been noted to be more extensive than those in some Euclean states. Some political commentators have criticised these laws for curtailing freedom of speech and free assembly, such as the ban on organisations representing a single ethnic or religious group being formed, but the Ajahadyan government as routinely maintained the position that no identity other than a Pan-Satrian one is nationally acceptable.

Religion

Religious Demographics of Ajahadya
  Tulyata (32.4%)
  Badi (15.3%)
  Ekata (24.3%)
  Irfan (17.1%)
  Sotirianity (10.7%)
  Other/Irreligious (0.2%)

Ajahadya is a religiously diverse country, and has sometimes been called the 'religious crossroads of Coius', centered between Irfanic Zorasan, the Great Steppe, coastal Satria and the Shalegho Mountains. The Bashurat Valley has a strong tradition of religious pluralism and syncreticism, with multiple religious groups coexisting in the valley for millennia.

The largest religious group in Ajahadya is the Tulyata faith, a polytheistic syncretic religion that takes influences from Badi and is native to the Bashurat Valley. Tulyata believes that man may achieve enlightenment through perfection of one's physical and mental capabilities over multiple lives, and that one who achieves a perfectly balanced state will become an immortal divine spirit to assist others in achieving such a state, and also believes in a number of other spirits, some of which are helpful and others harmful.
