Indus Federation

"Industani. I cannot say it has always been easy, calling myself that. But, I'm still proud of what we have accomplished, and proud of what we can still do." 
-unknown citizen, 2108
The Indus River Federation, also known as the Indus Federation or Industan (and historically as Pakistan) is a country located on the west side of the Indian Subcontinent, bordered by Iran, Afghanistan, China, Kashmir, and India, as well as the Indian Ocean to the south. The nation is a parliamentary democracy consisting of eight autonomous regions. The nation's capital is Islamabad, and its head of state is Prime Minister Sharjah Kostr. 
Industan's origins are found in the collapse of the Pakistani government in 2052, following the Red Moon Crisis. The origins of the conflict are muddy, but the most commonly accepted theory is that it began when a group of Indian mages accidentally misfired a spell across the border in the disputed Kashmir Territory. This then escalated back and forth until it spilled into the Overworld, resulting in the Hindu-Pakistani War, which itself escalated until a misreading in the Pakistani missile alert system resulted in Pakistan firing its nuclear arsenal at India, something that was quickly returned. 
Following the Hindu-Pakistani Nuclear Holocaust, Pakistan collapsed, and much of northern India was devastated. In this no-man's zone, the survivors grew to develop an extreme hate for one another, resulting in the rise of the Bharati Nationalist Army, a group of anarcho-fascist terrorists who claimed that their sole goal was to exact revenge on those who had ruined their lives. The BNA quickly expanded its control over India and Pakistan, where it committed what was later ruled to be a genocide against Muslims, Punjabis, and other dissenters. 
Horrified, the remnants of the Indian government allied itself with the desperate partisan forces of Pakistan, and together with an international coalition lead by the United States and Iran, beat back the BNA over the course of four months. Following their defeat, Pakistan was occupied by coalition forces, and a new government was declared in New Karachi, announcing the creation of the Indus River Federation, a union without ties of corruption and incompetence that the old Pakistani government was notorious for. 
Today, Industan is a rapidly growing economy, sporting a variety of material and middle-grade manufacturing products. The nation is most famously known for the production of heavy machine parts. The Federation has also sought to ally itself with both the United States and China, joining the Pact of Liberty and the Ambition Colonies, alongside rebuilding its relationship with India following the two nations' nuclear exchange in the 2050s.
