The State of Naikang (乃扛國 - Chengshengese: Náikàng Gue̤q, [nái.kʰàŋ kʊ̯ɤ̄ʔ]; Naichinese: Na̤îkáng Ge̤, [nɘî.kʰáŋ kɛ̄]), at the time known as Naikang for short, was a country in eastern Thrismari that existed between 1950 and 1971, after Naikang gained independence from the Riamese Empire but prior to its reorganisation into the Republic of Naikang as a federal nation. It received Riamese recognition as an independent state very early in its history, and maintained largely positive relations with Riamo throughout its history. The State of Naikang bordered Chengsheng to the south, and was separated from the Kakish Tesjkvan Islands to the east by the Gulf of Kouma. Its capital throughout the entire life of the country was Tachusi, which remains the capital of Naikang to this day.
In the aftermath of the Great War, which saw Riamo and her allies in the Iron Pact defeated by the Alliance, the neighbouring Riamese colony of Chengsheng was ceded to Kakland, while Naikang remained in the hands of Riamo. The direct aftermath of the war saw the founding of the Nai Kang Independence Front, a Chengshengese-dominated organisation aimed at achieving independence for Naikang using mostly peaceful protest and political pressure, hoping to play on Riamo's apparent weakness. These culminated in the 1947-49 Lotus Revolution, a coordinated series of peaceful actions, with Riamo agreeing to host the Tatchossey Conference in 1949 as a result of these actions. Independence was declared on 5 April 1950.
