Alanistan

Alanistan (Arabic: الانستان, alanistan), officially the Islamic Emirate of Alanistan (Arabic: إمارة ألانستان الإسلامية, 'iimarat 'alanistan al'iislamia), is a sovereign monarchist state in northern Andoladia. It borders Gallitonia to the north and north-east, Quwalia to the south, and Klamossen and Zain to the west. With a population of 8,433,249, Alanistan is by the population the 73rd-largest country worldwide, and the 24th-largest of the nations on Andoladia. The capital and largest city of Alanistan is Halwani.
Alanistan's capital, Halwani, was the first part of the modern Alani state to be settled, around 2,600 years ago. In 780, Alanistan began to grow, and began subsuming it's neighbours. Alanistan's control over a major trade route in the area brought hefty amounts of tourism to Alanistan, making the country an economic powerhouse. Trouble soon brewed with the rise of Gallitonia, who were hostile towards the Islamic nationstate. Alanistan and neighbouring Klamossen agreed as a result to a temporary alliance, in order to hold off the Gallitonian advances. The alliance was soon put to the test when the countries assisted neighbouring Zain when it began experiencing issues of it's own. The Islamic community then lived in relative peace. Contact with Abdaristan in the 1870s brought in an era which later led to unity across the Andoladian continent. Alanistan attempted to remain neutral during the Resource War, but this was ignored by Rockland due to Alanistan's proximity to Gallitonia, and the country was steamrolled throughout the conflict. Following the war, Alanistan lost hefty amounts of their economy. Not only that, but a major mineral deposit in the country was lost to Quwalia, crashing trade in the area. Alanistan remained non-aligned during the Great War and the Cold War in order to avoid major economic troubles. Following the Cold War, Alanistan opened up after a major famine sweeped the country, seeking assistance from Jonathia, who were quick to set up the Alanistan Assistance Association in a partnership with the GUIS Health Organization.
Alanistan is considered a developing nation. It is a member of the GUIS and the Central Continents Union.
