'''Verdonia''' ({{wp|Dutch language|Hennish}}: ''Groenië''; {{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''Verdonie''), known officially as the '''Federal Republic of Verdonia''' ({{wp|Dutch language|Hennish}}: ''Bondsrepubliek Groenië''; {{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''République fédérale de Verdonie'') is a sovereign nation in [[Kylaris]] located just off the main continent of [[Asteria Inferior]] on an [[Verdonia (island)|island of the same name]]. Situated at the mouth of the [[Arucian Sea]] the country borders [[Nuvania]] to the northeast, across the [[Strait of Karmigel]]. Its capital is [[Voorst-Montrame (city)|Voorst-Montramé]] which is also its largest city, a major economic hub, and one of many cultural centers throughout the country.
'''Pardistan''' ({{wp|Pashto language|Pardi}}: ''پاردیستان''; ''Pardīstān'' ), known officially as the '''Republic of Pardistan''' ({{wp|Pashto language|Pardi}}: ''د پردستان جمهوريت''; ''Da Pardīstān Jumhoryat'') is a sovereign nation in [[Kylaris]] on the continent of [[Coius]]. Situated on the shores of the [[Mazdan Sea]], the country borders [[Zorasan]] to the east, [[Ajahadya]] to the south, and [[Devagara]] and [[Ladaca]] to the west. Its capital is [[Kamesar (city)|Kāmesar]] which is also its largest city, a major port and economic hub, and one of many cultural centers throughout the country.


The first known records and evidence of human habitation in the area that would become modern-day Verdonia date back to 11,200 BCE, with indigenous tribes moving into the region from the mainland and establishing limited settlements. Major civilizations that rose included the NAME, NAME, and NAME, who would eventually unite to form a nonhereditary monarchy known as the NAME in 1375. Hennish explorers landed on the island in 1530, fully cementing control over major parts of the area by 1670 and using it to attempt to leverage greater control the flow of traffic and trade at the mouth of the Arucian. Gaullican, Weranian, and Estmerish explorers and merchants began landing on other parts of the island, establishing rival claims and founding their own settlements. Hennehouwe was able to retain full control over the island by 1700, but transferred the region to Estmere alongside neighboring Nuvania in 1720. The region continued to be used largely as an agricultural and mineral producing region as well as a naval waystation. The region was reorganized into a [[Dominion of Verdonia|dominion]] in 1820, and by 1890 home rule was granted. Gaining independence by 1894, the region quickly became dominated by conservative, pro-Hennish, and pro-Gaullican interests, though the country retained close ties to Hennehouwe and Euclea. These interests diverged as the outbreak of the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] neared, with relations between Gaullican and Hennish citizens plunging following the [[Hennehouwe Crisis]]. The crisis, and subsequent manuvers of the Verdonian government to align with the [[Grand Alliance]], led to the pro-Gaullican [[Fatherland Action (political party)|Fatherland Action]] party and [[National Legion]] paramilitary militia seizing power in a [[Verdonian Revolution of 1928|revolution]], establishing [[Legionary Verdonia|a civic-military client government]]. The new regime officially joined the [[Entente]] the following year, albeit in a limited capacity, sending expeditionary forces and aiding the Gaullican and other Entente navies in trade interdiction in the region.
Pardistan has been inhabited for many millennium, with the first settlements in the region dating back to between the 3rd and 5th millennium BCE. Largely serving as a border between the Hydanian and Satrian civilizations to the south and west, and the Badawiyan and Pardarian civilizations to the north and east, the region was home to a myriad of disparate peoples, religions, customs, cultures, and polities. The [[Athyawana civilization]] was one of the first to fully unify the country in the 2nd century CE, though it was ultimately subsumed and vassalized as a subject kingdom of the larger Arasanid Empire. The region briefly broke free of the Arasanid Empire during the rise of Irfan, forming the [[Maharaba Empire]], though the empire itself saw itself conquered by the [[First Heavenly Dominion]] as part of the [[Irfanic Conquests]]. Despite its defeat the region actually began to prosper economically, culturally, and socially as a result of the Irfanic Golden Age, with its position proving lucrative in creating and maintaining trade routes in the region.  


Following the collapse of the [[Entente]] forces throughout the Asterias, and with encroachment by Grand Alliance forces increasing by the day, moderates within the regimes' [[Supreme High Council of State (Verdonia)|upper echelons]] conducted a [[1935 Verdonian coup d'etat|coup d'etat]] with the rushed help of [[Verdonian resistance|resistance]] forces. The subsequent [[Verdonian Provisional Government|government]], existing under a power-sharing agreement, re-aligned itself with the Grand Alliance for the remainder of the war. The country quickly collapsed into [[Verdonian Civil War|crisis]] following the war's end, with then head of state [[Jan-Pieter Huizinga]] forced to utilize {{wp|Temporary Provisions against the Communist Rebellion|extraordinary}} {{wp|Enabling Act of 1933|measures}} in order to maintain stability. The post-war, post-crisis years under Huizinga and the [[Verdonian Unionist Party]] led to significant economic liberalization and growth, though the country remained highly regulated {{wp|Paternalism|socially}} and {{wp|guided democracy|politically}} -- maintaining one of the highest number of prisoners per capita in the region for many years. Nevertheless, Huizinga became a ''de-facto'' {{wp|benevolent dictatorship|benevolent dictator}}. The country was greatly reformed as the government pursued policies of economic, cultural, and linguistic consociationalism known as [[Huizingaism]], many of the tenets of which the country still abides by.
The region was once again given a degree of independence with the formation of the [[Gorsanid Empire]], though the local ruler still swore fealty to the Gorsani Shah. The region once again briefly broke free of the Gorsanid Empire during the Etrurian colonization of the region, though it was itself [[Pardistan War|conquered]] by 1865. The region remained largely peaceful throughout much of the 20th-century, though the implementation of conscription laws did cause a series of [[Shinalis riots|riots]]
 
In the last years of Huizinga's rule he laid the groundworks for democratic reforms and free elections, ultimately dying in 1978, with the Unionist Party dissolving shortly thereafter. Following Huizinga's death the country continued to liberalize, albeit slowly, becoming a 'full' democracy by 1989. Since then the country has continued to struggle with corruption as well as organized crime syndicates, with many governments on both sides of the political aisle collapsing in scandal. Elections in 2015 led to electoral victory for the [[National People's Rally]], the current party in power, installing [[Hendricus van de Vijver]] as [[Chancellor of Verdonia|Chancellor]].

Pardistan (Pardi: پاردیستان; Pardīstān ), known officially as the Republic of Pardistan (Pardi: د پردستان جمهوريت; Da Pardīstān Jumhoryat) is a sovereign nation in Kylaris on the continent of Coius. Situated on the shores of the Mazdan Sea, the country borders Zorasan to the east, Ajahadya to the south, and Devagara and Ladaca to the west. Its capital is Kāmesar which is also its largest city, a major port and economic hub, and one of many cultural centers throughout the country.
