Nukhao and Alavari empires (1st Century C.E.-8th Century C.E.)
Pae Nukhao had inherited the fractured and corrupted inner bureaucracy of the Sasuanans which had been greatly neglected during the period of instability. Wide and vast reforms on the inner workings of the state were began by Pae, this reforms sought to reduce the extent of Imperial bureaucracy which had ballooned greatly and been reduced in efficiency. Such reforms were key in returning stability to the state and its citizenry. The Nukhao empire had by the death of Pae in 120 returned to the economical prosperity prior to the crisis during Nan Laps reign. Pae's son Kale I Halin began a series of military incursions into Dezevau re establishing Thy Sao control over the coastal cities of the Bay of Lights, Kale I had during his time in Dezevau become a follower of Badi, at the time although religious freedom existed under the state to ensure harmony between the different beliefs in the nation, no Sao had deviated from following an outside belief. Kale I established Badi schools and temples and is credited as introducing the belief into Lavana where today its the largest religion in the country.
Nukhao rulers following the steps of Kale I further converted into Badi, and aided in the development of the region north of the Siadng river, such developments included the creation of roadways between cities and establishing garrisons to ensure free passage for traders and merchants. Such developments incorporated the region into the empire. The Nukhao turned their attention towards the steppe, as Nukhao armies entered into the steppe in the 3rd century, they increasingly sought to establish tributary states to serve as buffer states and ensure the safe passage of trade between Shangea and Lavana rather than expand the borders of the empire. Kale III sought to expand Nukhao influence by advancing along the Teyvada river into the highlands of modern Zomia, where he ordered the construction of Badi temples to "civilize" the highlanders in the region through the proselytizing of Badi and the teaching of Ziban script. Kales effort were successful in establishing tributary states which protected the vital inland trading routes of the region, and allowed Badi to greatly expand across Coius.
In 350 CE, Sao Zankin Halin the reformer launched a coup against his uncle Sao Ilhan Halin which had come to be seen as a weak and inefficient leader by the nobility. Zankin is celebrated for his vast reforms among which include the codification of Nukhao and earlier Sasuanan law into a single code, called Jaibodemhe (the Code of Zankin). The code represented the legal framework of the state in a single language essentially enforcing a national language, Ziba. The standardisation of the use of Ziba allowed for smoother bureaucracy and easier trade, the reign of Zankin was marked as among the most prosperous in Nukhao history, the Gogajedaiza (Great Water Temple) was constructed during his reign.
Nukhao attempts at further conquest into Dezevau were met with strong resistance, Nukhao campaigns into Dezevau proved highly costly and by 400 CE the Nukhao empire reached its largest territorial extent. A period of instability between 390 and 440 followed the empire, plague outbreaks hit the Nukhao empire several times between 410 and 450 some estimate that up to a fifth of Nukhao's population died from plague outbursts, once such outbreak in Pers decimated the cities population and greatly reduced the size of the royal court. Succession crisis and civil wars plagued the empire for several years decimating the empires economy and its bureaucracy, the periphery of the empire began to break away from the empire in a period which would repeat in Lavanan history and latter Agudan history, by 460 the Alavina sisters would be crowned as Sao's following a prolonged civil war and officially proclaim the end of the Nukhao Empire, establishing the Alavari Empire and the Alavina dynasty. Both sisters struggled in establishing control over the warring factions of the empire, and the Second empire suffered during the rest of its existence instability and a powerful land owning nobility which usually challenged the Sao's authority.
The Alavari empire began a process of decentralization in its state and bureaucratic structure starting in the early 6th century, this period saw a rise in regionalism and subversion of the Sao, which became a figure head while local warlords ruled over the country. Although the decentralization of the state saw the Sao lose its power, it maintained relative peace in the country for the next century as regional warlords battled each other for control in regional wars rather than the large scale wars that had plagued the empire at other times.
By the 8th century some nobles held near complete independence from the Sao with strong armies and populations to support them and their endeavours, with the Sao serving exclusively as a figurehead. Sao Goabodaga Alavina IV would die in 763 without a heir, rather than elect a member of the royal family to the position, a local noble crowned himself as Sao ending 300 years of the Alavina Dynasty. Sao Bereste Nala sought to utilize his strong position to centralize the empire, to increase his own power, such a move was not welcomed by other powerful nobles who looked at establishing strong independent kingdoms free from the control of Thy Sao for the first time in 11 centuries. Sao Bereste was unable to hold control over the warlords and nobility and the Alavari Empire stopped functioning as a state, the position of Sao also lost its prestige and inherent power, with every noble crowning himself as a Sao and the dynastical tradition broken. Historians usually only classify a Sao if they held the city of Thy Sao.

Estmerish mandate
Following the defeat of Gaullica, Lavana fell under the control of Estmere, as Lavanan soldiers returned from overseas they found themselves serving under their previous enemies. The Sao was allowed to continue on his position and welcomed the arrival of Estmerish authorities in the hopes of calming civil strife in the country, the Sao found himself with an undermanned and understaffed Estmerish contingent unable to manage both Dezevau and Lavana, the Sao royal guard was expanded to make up for Estmerish undermanned forces. Following the independence of Dezevau Estmerish forces were brought in to reinforce and train royalist forces in the face of growing threat from the Coalition for a Free Lavanan, it was estimated that 13% of the countryside was under CFL control, a Royalist offensive in the summer of 1939 found little success in reconquering LDL territory, the CFL retaliated by murdering Estmerish High Commissioner to the Sao Ivan Lloyd in 1940 prompting large Royalist movements into the countryside which found little success.
CFL activities were at the time greatly concentrated in the Ziba speaking part of the country as support from Dezevau was acquired, but the growing influence of Dezevau and its socialist government resulted in greater power and influence for the Socialist forces which found themselves benefited directly by Dezevauni support, repeated Sao attempts at targeting Ziba speaking communities caused outcry by socialist states. Estemerish economic and military aid towards the Sao increased as fear of further international aid might cause a succession of revolutions to explode in Coius, such efforts were cut abruptly short with the start of the Solarian War which saw Estmerish forces relocated from Lavana to other fronts to aid the war effort. Droughts between 1942 and 1945 impacted the south east of the country resulting in famine like conditions for many poor farmers, such situations led to a large scale civilian migration towards the cities, the Sao was unable to quell the growing unrest and several CFL attacks on cities most primarily Ban Moc which was under CFL control for an entire month in 1945 until Royalist and Estmerish forces which had been further reduced at the end of the Solarian war retook the city, to heavy casualties on the CFL side which lacked the aerial and artillery support available to the Royalists.
Sao Thy Atith would die on June, 1950 his son the 16th year old Lin Atith was next in succession but fears regarding the boys mother which had been imprisoned for fears of being a CFL sympathizer just a few months prior, caused Estmerish authorities to install Thy's uncle Oke instead causing a power struggle inside the royal family. Fighting broke out between Lin and Oke loyal forces giving the opportunity for the CFL to retake lost territory, although fighting was over by July with a clear victory for Oke. On October 1950 Lavanan exile and leader of the Lavanan Section of the Workers International Saravan Khouph gave a speech decrying Estmerish colonization and the brutal rulership of the Sao, pressure increased for Estmere and other Euclean powers to decolonize. A CFL attack on Pers on December 1950 and a general offensive the month after saw large sections of the Royalist army some loyal to the former Lin defect with some joining the CFL. Oke agreed to a national referendum regarding the establishment of a republic for the 19th of August along with a general election the month after shall it pass. Estmerish forces under international pressure agreed to pull all military forces from Lavana regardless of outcome by December 31st 1952. A general victory for a republic on the national referendum finalized the Kingdom of Lavana, and the position of Sao. Makaio Sayasone was elected to the position of Prime Minister after the CFL won 70% of the vote a month later.
Republic of Lavana
The rapid chain of events tested the resolve of the CFL, the bureaucracy of the Sao upon news of the end of the Kingdom and the start of restructuring of the bureaucracy many left for Euclea or retired creating a strain on the administration of the republic which could not be as easily managed as thought. The Royal Lavanan Armed Forces found itself in a similar predicament with the ruling CFL holding now control over the enforcers of the Sao's and colonial will, attempts to create new armed forces found little success as the RLA command structure refused to step down, a compromise was reached with the RLA renaming itself and minor reforms but maintaining the same corrupt structure that had plagued its efficiency during the revolution. The CFL had also struggled with internal infighting primarily between the Workers International and the greater coalition including other socialist parties. The return of Saravan Khouph had reinvigorated the Workers International which had taken a secondary role to the Lavanan Socialist Party during the revolution, the CFL struggled to reign in its Socialist parties which began to increasingly align itself with the Workers International or the LSP. With the retreat of Estmerish forces by the end of 1952, violence spread throughout Lavana as government institutions which had functioned for decades under the corruption of the Sao could no longer operate efficiently. The inability of Makaio in maintaining stability and declaring an official constitution caused the Workers International under Khouph to exit the CFL in April 1953, establishing itself as part of the opposition which had grown with dissastified parties. By October 1953 the CFL which had come to envelope close to 50 different parties at its height now maintained only 5 parties under the Democratic Front the largest single party in Parliament.
Lavana entered a deep recession in 1955 as inner fighting inside the parliament prevented necessary monetary reforms to the nations broken economical model following the exit of the Sao. Facing health problems Makaio would retire that years October, causing a leadership crisis and another election by December. The Workers International acquired a large victory in the elections cementing itself as the 2nd largest party in parliament, causing an uproar in conservative sectors of the Lavanan society. Violence between socialists and conservative elements in Lavana would break out following the election, government inefficiency under the leadership of Sin Duon left over by his predecessors resulted in large street brawls and general violence throughout the country extending onto March 1956. The Workers International had by the end of the conflict united all Leftist parties under its wing along with establishing the National Defence Commission, which operated as paramilitary forces of the party, usually deployed to the countryside to stop banditry which had greatly expanded following the revolution.
Further mismanagement during the abnormal year of flooding in 1956, would result in 15,000 deaths. The government held little to no control outside of the cities as the Workers International took over the job of policing and administration in rural areas, in one such instance a party employee filed taxes for over 5,000 citizens in rural villages as fines would be raised if the taxes were not paid but access to basic services such as water and electricity were provided separately by the Workers International. Government inability and infighting had allowed such dual government to exist, General Oke Syrypanha general commander of the army had under the instructions of Pers attempted to reign in the Workers International and their paramilitary forces but such attempts were met with brutal skirmishes, after a brutal skirmish had left 15 soldiers dead in the Gezije Range on the 9th of March 1956. Sin Duon expulsed the Workers International from parliament on the 13th of March as response to the violence between Socialist paramilitaries and government forces, Duon had intended on arresting the WI leadership in the hopes that Socialist paramilitaries would not react violently if their leadership was arrested. The attempt failed as the announcement was leaked and WI leaders abandoned the Congress, socialist leaders remained in hiding for several months until they could escape Pers.
