Aspayn

The United Khanates of Aspayn (Ortalqaspayn: Borykenni Dakyochqatr Aspayni), colloquially known as Aspayn, is a country in southwest Velizka. Aspayn is bordered by Erdenja and Renavina to the west, Torberia and Soritania to the south, Sentryzija to the east, and Ozpetrovina and Varla to the north. Aspayn is a decentralised federation of constitutional monarchies, where the country is lead by a Daksag, the equivalent of Emperor in other countries, who is elected by the Daks of the constituent khanates. The capital of the country is Olurkan, but some other large cities include Zhymchent, X, X, X and X. Aspayn is made up of 4 khanates, each of which have a developed legislature, known as a Khuyshqhenezs. The overall country has a bicameral legislature called the Qurastiyirv, which is split into two smaller qhenezsi.

Aspayn formed in 1593, by Jhyinger Jorchugdayh Ynqtuja, a military warlord who forced the 4 khanates into a treaty, forming a federation under his submissions. The federation has been unstable for a lot of its history, due to its diverse population consisting of many ethnicities, but has had most problems with rebellions by the Slovan population. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, Aspayn became a regional power, as it controlled a lot of trade between west and east Velizka, and the country had won several skirmishes, border wars, and minor territorial expansions against the Obradinian Empire. When the Second Slovan insurgency in Aspayn began in 1832, its brief period of regional power declined, and Aspayn remained fairly fractured for decades, culminating in intense stability in the mid to late 20th century.

Aspayn was previously a powerful nation, however now is in a state of civil war. The civil war is an ethnic and cultural conflict between the four khanates, as well as nationalist groups and ideological organisations. The war has lasted 3 years, and remains in stalemate.
