Lainan oficially The Kingly State of Lainan (Lainese: 王國勑東, Vương Quốc Lai Đông) is a state located in Southeast Coius. It borders the Coral Sea to the south and the Banfura Sea to the east. Its neighbours include Tinza and Xiaodong to the west as well as Cavunia to the north. Its capital city is Dohoa, and its largest city is Taivin City. It is the largest country in Southeast Coius by land area only slightly larger than Dezevau. Lainan is a unitary parliamentary Monarchy with a king as head of state and the army while the premier acts as the head of government. Highest authority within Lainan resides in the democratically elected Dai Hoi. Lainese is the sole official national language of Lainan while numerous minority groups and their languages have regional recognition.
Lainan was first inhabited in the Paleolithic era. Several ancient states of various people groups existed in modern-day Lainan, however through a process of conquest and assimilation, the Lai people became the dominant people group in the area around the 2nd century BC. The Lai people were politically divided between various petty kingdoms that gradually came under Xiaodongese cultural influence in the 200s BCE. This period of petty kingdoms was ended in 548 when most of modern-day Lainan was annexed into the Norzin Empire which led to a 400-year period of Tinzan rule and the spread of Satyism which was brought to an end in 921 when the Trộm dynasty successfully united Lainan thus breaking it away from the empire.
In 1762, Lainan became a vassal to the Toki Sougunate after which it went through a gradual process of Xiadongese Tributaruanism wherein Lainan was both politically, culturally and economically defined by its subservience to Xiaodong. During the Great War, the Nhom Giai Phong with the support of the Grand Alliance fought a gruesome war against the the government of Trubutary Lainan supported by Xiaodong which was known as the Lainese Liberation War. As a result of the war, Lainan was devastated both econmically and politically but through a multi-national effort led by Senria known as Reconstruction where Lainan received large investments in both its civil and military sectors of its economy which aided the newly-indipendent nation greatly. In order to keep this international investment, Lainan became a highly liberal and democratic state.
Lainan is a democratic monarchy that is a member of the Community of Nations as well as the International Council for Democracy. It is also an active member in COMSED and is considered one of COMSED's success stories. Lainan is considered a developing country with a modest standard of living. Due to its liberal economic policies and continued international investment, Lainan ranks consistently as one of Kylaris' fastest growing economies but it faces challenges such as inadequate welfare and unequal regional economic development.
Etymology
The name Lai Đông (勑東) is a variation of the Xiaodongese Dialect name of Yuǎn Dōng Loi (远東勑) where "Yuǎn Dōng" (远東) means fareast and "Loi" (勑) refers to the Lai people that inhabited the area. Through interaction between Coian and Eucelan traders the endonym Lai Đông became the exonym Lainon which later developed into Lainan. The earliest recorded insident of the usage of the term "Lai Đông" was by the historic poet Anh Sec
