Flag and Banner of Trakhaniye

**Trakhaniye**, officially The **Trakhan Confederation** is a nation located in north Ikuni, bordering Ahtalstan to the south, Barrion to the east, and Kreicia to the west.

## Origin

The Trakhans were a series of semi-nomadic tribes and nationstates indigenous to the middle and eastern parts of the Supercontinent, divided mainly between the differing histories of the west and eastern sides of Modern Trakhaniye. The Trakhan had stable kingdoms that prospered on multiple occasions, though few rose to fully unify the entire region. In their mythology, they once had a ruler named Trakh, and the culture's name derives from that name, with the Han at the end stating that he was the ruler. Major Trakhan settlements include Yeniyurd, Tepe’el, Suchikti, Alapinar, Cetineli, and Trakheli. They currently reside in the country of **Trakhaniye**, a country established after the Nine Years' War which was formerly the Trakhan Republic of Ahtalstan.

## Details

The Confederation of Trakhaniye is made up of several states and regions, with temperate and boreal regions around the northwest and a significant portions of the East. The interior and west is dominated by semi-arid land, steppes, and rugged terrain, with the two low mountain ranges to its west and east aiding in its geographic defenses. Trakhaniye itself has primarily 4 Seasons, with heavier rains in the summer. Its snowy winters can get quite cold, while it's summers can get quite warm. This cold weather means many of the nation's eastern ports often freeze over for a short period in the winter. Many plants are grown in the more fertile regions of the country, along with a relative abundance of cheap metals, allowing for metals and timber to become a major export resource for most of its history. The nation after its founding was very much open to technological development, and has long been in good terms with its east, west, and southern neighbors. The large Confederation also holds swaths of desert territory in its deep interior, close to its border with Ahtalstan. Its official languages are Ahtal and Trakhan, with the latter growing more prominent with time ever since the Nation's formation in 1964.

## Trakhani Monarchy

Native to the east, Trakhaniye is led by a constitutional Monarchy, who are decently popular and are descendants of many powerful leaders, among them even those of the late nomadic tribes of the west despite their distinctly eastern heritage. Their Monarchy is mostly ceremonial, with little immediate power over day to day government operations, other than in emergency situations in which the Government is unable to react to certain issues.

## Government

The nation is divided into the equivalents of States, Regions, Municipalities, and Parishes, each sizably larger than the next. Cities are often either under a Parish or municipality, usually alongside its immediate surrounding area, with districts used instead of parishes for urban areas.

## History

* 1964 - Formation after the 9 Years War
* 1972 - Trakkhani boom
* 1996 - Project Hanva'ikhen
* 2004 - Suchkti ore crisis
* 2015 - Grand National survey: A massive survey was held in 2015, surveying many facets of the nation, which allowed for most official records to be updated to 2020, instead of the previous 2000 survey, which was not as large, and was severely outdated by this time.
* 2017 - Opening of the Nation: After many years of relatively closed borders and very few connections to the outside world, Trakhaniye finally opened itself to the rest of the world, making much once classified information open to the public, with the borders reopened, and many monuments such as the Grand Palace opened to tourists and overall public viewing.
* 2018 - The Trakhani Third Golden age: After years of slow growth in the nation, with the opening of Trakhaniye, the government began a series of mega projects, including new airports, roads, bridges, public transport systems, train networks and much more, bringing the economy into a resurge of growth, alongside large influxes of wealth into Government coffers, and subsequently to various projects and existing ministries, which further improved quality of life.
