Ihram (Rahelian: إحرام, romanized: Ihram; Tiheyâgh: ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ, romanized: ìh-sɑll’æn, lit. 'Land of the Salih Mountains'), officially the Ihramian Irfanic Shura Republics, is a sovereign state in Rahel, bordered to the west by Kadaria, Tsabara and Zorasan, to the South by Mabifia and Yemet, as well as to the east by Bamvango. The country's central location in Northern Coius, between Rahel and Bahia, has made it a crossroads of trade and culture throughout its history. Djma'a is the country's capital, as well as an ancient economic and cultural centre, located strategically in the fertile lands between the Khasiba river and the Gonda. The majority of the population live near the banks of the Khasiba and Gonda, due to much of the country being covered by arid desert and rocky mountains. The only arable land beyond the rivers are found at large oases and foothills watered by mountain streams scattered throughout the sparsely populated northernwestern and southeastern deserts.
Ihram has been inhabited by the Sahra peoples since the late Bronze Age, and the earliest polities in the country's history consisted of Sahric tribal confederacies. Ancient Ihram was ruled by dynasties of Sahric judges and kings, and this period saw some of the earliest developments of writing, agriculture, astrology, astronomy, organised religion and central government. The ancestors of the Atudites later established early trade kingdoms in eastern Ihram along the Khasiba. Ihram's long and rich cultural heritage is an integral part of its national identity, and the nation has has endured foreign rule or assimilated cultural influences from a wide range of peoples, including Atudites, Pardarians, Yemetics, Raheli and most recently, in the modern era, the Gorsanids and Gaullicans. Ihram was an notable historical centre of Atudism and Sotirianity, but was largely Irfanicized in the seventh century and remains an Irfanic country, albeit with a significant population of various religious minorities.
