Oshijan

Oshijan is a country lying near the southern shore of the Trade Lake, landlocked by its neighbours Scanbrough, Senheim, Kajasthan and Roumidia. The insular state maintains relations with Roumidia alone.
Oshijan has a significant Kaja-speaking minority in its southeast, though its size is decreasing exponentially as more conservative rulers take control of the country, wishing to expel the foreigners.
The country was formerly a part of Kajasthan, though it broke off in the 7th Century. Since then, its rulers have built high walls on the surrounding hills to ward off raiders, as well as the Kaja who maintain claims on Oshi land.
In the desert style, Oshijan maintains no administrative regions. Instead, all settlements are self-sufficient and pay tribute to the capital. There is still a slight split between east and west due to differences in ideology.
Settlements in the conservative east include the capital Xigaz as well as smaller towns like Kaxiang, Ruyixia, Ninchi and Gasar.
The more liberal west, detached from the Oshi-Kaja struggle and linked to friendly Roumidia, is governed from Duikangol and contains the settlements of Zhari, Zengsi, Jieze, Dongru and Aming.
== Culture ==
The Oshi language and ancient culture are inherently Caharlic, related to those of Huon Sa, Cudumbia and Tianguo. It is a mystery how the Oshi came to be where they are, though scholars speculate they either split from the other Caharlians early or accompanied either the Tianguese or Huons to their destinations, heading to the Trade Lake once their companions settled.Category:Countries
