The Independent Territory of Kolhar, alternatively known by some as the Independent Territory of Kolkug, was the governing authority of Kolhar from 1890 to 1938. The country was established after the Kolhari defeat in the First Aurelian War. A short time after Kolhar after which the Treaty of [NAME] was signed, turning Kolhar into a protectorate of Mito and subjecting Kolhar to heavy Mitonese influence. The government of the Orus dynasty still nominally ruled Kolhar. However, in all official documentation, the new name Independent Territory of Kolhar was used. Officially the local government exercised authority over internal affairs. However, this authority was hampered by continued Mitonese interference in any affairs that they deemed to affect their interests.
Name
The name for Kolhar written in Kolhari is ꡢꡡꡘꡦꡘ and pronounced qorar. However, during this time the Mitonese used 戈國 (pronounced kakoku in Mitonese, kolkug in Kolhari, and written in Kolhari as ꡢꡡꡘꡀꡟꡂ). This was Kolhar's old name as given by the ancient Sheng dynasty. When the Mitonese took over, they imposed this version of the name onto Kolhar. As a result, in some documents from the time written in other languages Kolhar was referred to as Kolkug. The Mitonese government referred to Kolhar using their pronunciation, Kakoku, in documents they released in other languages.
Government title
The title of the country was changed to Independent Territory (獨立領 in Mitonese)by Mitonese authorities, and this was used in all official documentation outside of Kolhar. Within Kolhar, however, the government of the Orus dynasty continued to be called the Kingdom of Kolhar. Any documents issued by the Orus dynasty was written as issued by the Kingdom of Kolhar. However, in practice it was more common to see both names side by side in documents issued within Kolhar during this time.
While the translation of Kingdom was retained, the title of the country in Kolhari was changed. The King of Kolhar was traditionally called Vak (written in Kolhari as ꡓꡦꡀ). In formal speach, the King was sometimes called Stovvak (written in Kolhari as ꡛꡈꡡꡓꡓꡦꡀ). Kolhari scribes invented the character 𤤰 to use for the title Vak in order to differentiate it from the title 王 issued by the Sheng dynasty. As a result, Stovvak could also be written 天𤤰. The word for Kingdom when referring to the governing authority of Kolhar was Vakkug, written ꡓꡦꡀꡀꡟꡂ, which could also written 𤤰國.
However, Mitonese authorities took issue with this as the character 𤤰 did not exist in common usage in Mitonese. As a result, the name of Kingdom of Kolhar was changed to 大戈王國 in Mitonese. Mitonese authorities further forced the Orus dynasty to use the title Van (derived from the Sheng title 王 and written in Kolhari as ꡓꡦꡋ). They also forced local authorities to use the word vankug, derived from the Mitonese 王國 (written ꡓꡦꡋꡀꡟꡂ in Kolhari) for kingdom.
