Achaeyand, also known as the State of Achaeyand, and the 1st Achaen Republic, is a state located in the southwestern quadrant of the continent of Eurysia. It currently borders the separatist states of the Andhallah and the Hormanz Alirate, Ralence, Obechliand, Raszovia, and Czervenia. Achaeyand in its modern form came into being during the 1896 Achaen Revolution, wherein the Grey Vest Consensus, a political group consisted of the nation's intelligentsia, overthrew the Shah in a swift coup, establishing a new federal government in the city of Markanla and promising reforms from the old monarchy, which had by this point grown to be extremely corrupt and inefficient. In addition, this new government promised what had never been seen before in the country, a constitutional which would protect all religious and ethnic minorities in the nation. This idealism however, rapidly found itself challenged by reality, as many groups attempted to use the power vacuum to secure independence. Three such groups, the Imidi, the Donmez, and the Kolechs, took the opportunity to form respective separatist nation-states, resulting in the foundations of the Hormanz Alirate, the Imidi Kingdom, and Kolechai.

Achaeyand has found itself in conflict with these three nations, as well as many other separatist groups within its borders. This has manifested in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Achaen Wars, wherein Achaeyand both was forced to crush internal dissent to national stability, and launched aggressive invasions of its neighbors. Consistantly however, these efforts have failed, and the latest 4th Achaen War, despite receiving support from Arvel, Obechliand, and Arracia, has so far resulted in no major decisive victory for either the Achaen government, and the nations of the Andhallah (that being the Imidi Republic and Kolechai), now backed by Raszovia. This has directly contributed to the promised democratic reforms of the country being stalled, with local elections promised all the way back in 1898, still not coming to fruition as of 1915. Economically, the country historically relied on mineral wealth, fishing, agriculture, and textiles as the bedrock of its economy, however recently, Achaeyand has began exploring and exploiting its vast supply of petrochemicals and fossil fuels, with coal and oil being its new largest foreign exports. This wealth unfortunately has not nescessarily translated to economic success, with Achaen government still relient on Arracian, Obech, and Alaequan loans to fund basic government spending and its continued military conflicts in the Andhallah.
