Sultanate of Arana

A sultanate in the Chorenese, created after the Dissolution War by Mustafaya Yazi, encompassing the geographical regions of the Flatlands and Rugged Chorene. Their flag is a sea of flames, red over orange. The plains of Arana have some of the most fertile soil in the world in which 3 harvests can be taken each year.
== Culture ==
Arana is the ethnical and cultural melting pot of the region, with both Skahazadani, Hotari, Ruhun, and Central Magnian influences. 
Most of the population are olive-skinned and dark of hair, but the people of the passes and heights of the Kotlov Mountains are usually more Magnian. They have paler skin that freckle or burn in the sun, and with brown or even blond hair.
== Economy ==
Arana is an immense merchant power which used to produce nearly all agricultural products of Chorene and still dominate the region. Their main exports are grain, fruit, glass, iron, fish, coral, whale bones, and whale oil. No one in the Gulf of Gabal can avoid trading with Arana. However, they are currently engaged in a customs war with the Sultanate of Mersin.
== Recent History ==
After the Coup on Orak, Rammaz Yazi claimed the city of Pendosis for himself, but Mustafaya was quick to seize it from her brother. She began to fight for territory with her brother Osman. She immediately began to disperse men in all directions to demand tribute from the minor lords and secure a border to expand upon steadily, leaving few castles outside her control.
In 1430, Mustafya had fought her brother on six occasions and taken direct control of Tytos, Mezaka, Kehan, and Siskia at the four corners of the Flatlands and appointed a vizier and a garrison for each.
After an unsuccessful Osmanid attempt at conquest in late 1430, both the southern and northern banks of the river became a disputed frontier zone between the two forming sultanates until a frail ceasefire was struck in early 1431, though skirmishes continue on both sides.
== Administrative Divisions ==
Arana is divided into 8 Vizirates, each ruled by a Vizier and governing a small number of Khaganates:
* Kurokova, ruled by Mustafaya Yazi.
* Saracim, ruled by Kay Demedesto.
* Karayakhan, ruled by Aslan Sahadettin.
* Kozan, ruled by Mya Ozz.
* Aladini, ruled by Ziya Synphio.
* Kehan, ruled by Kilij Akai.
