Kutaiyara-Zefranian relations

Kutaiyara-Zefranian relations are the current and historical relations between the Federal Republic of Kutaiyara and the Khedivate of Zefrania. They have no embassies. Both countries has had rough relations over the past year.

Great Zefranian Purges
The Kutaiyaran people once lived in Zefrania, until the 26th of April 2022, which saw the Great Zefranian Purges taking place, this topic is heavily debated and controversial. Therefore, it is difficult explaining without including national bias. The Kutaiyarans attempted to coup the government, who had recently chosen to join Alda, which was a massive decision giving up their sovereignty without consulting the council. Some viewed this coup as just, namely the Kutaiyarans, however, the current ruling government of the Eydur Dynasty and the loyalist council members saw this coup as unprovoked and an unnecesary attempt at powergrabbing.

This led to Aldan intervention. And two battles being fought, one being the sacking of Takmandan, which was a small Zefranian force moving into the town to occupy it. This was successful and saw rebel forces being routed and many civilians killed as a result of the chaotic house-to-house fighting. The second battle was the battle of Blyth Yanren a swift battle where the first Aldan forces arrived to aid an assault on the rebel headquarter in Blyth Yanren. This saw a swift Zefranian victory, and a deal being signed. Where the Kutaiyarans had to hand over the town to the loyalist administration would be allowed to visit them as much as they wished.

Establishment of Kutaiyara
Eventually Kutaiyara established established itself in a solid way, in eastern Haven, as a vassal of the Horde. This would lead to the country experiencing massive growth. At this point Zefrania had fully incorporated itself into Alda, and became a province under Vanyr after the untimely death of its Khedive Satüs Hejetür, it was incorporated through a rigged election held by the Aldans. This left the Zefranians spiteful, they went to DUTY whom sought to cripple Alda and take its territories, liberating the nations who had been forced under Aldan rule.

DUTY
The Zefranians wanting their lands back, went to Kutaiyara many of them living there, in comfort due to their cultural ties. However, the Kutaiyaran government, in the eyes of the Zefranians potrayed them as coming crawling to the Kutaiyarans and being inferior to the Kutaiyarans. This left many Zefranians feeling heavily disrespected, and any and all previously established relations broke down. Zefrania would eventually reclaim a chunk of its mainland as a vassal state of the now independent Vanyr. This led to the Kutaiyarans and Zefranians mass-recruiting and a bitter race to show superiority over the other.

Vanyr-Zefranian War
Eventually the Vanyrians decided to invade Zefrania because they called them inactive, gathering a whole coalition to squash Zefrania which had grown very strong at this point in time. Running Acodon, the largest town in Southern Ummarnu. Kutaiyara saw an opportunity to regain Blyth Yanren. Zefrania surrendered to save their cities and integrity. This saw an annexation of the Zefranian homelands.

Zefrania Reestablished
Five months later, in May, Zefrania reestablished under protection of the Tengalii Ejzen Kajzerryk later integrating. This would see a slow process of the Kutaiyarans and Zefranians working towards more neutral relations. As they saw it as outdated. And the new Zefranian "Beef Squashing" foreign policy saw it as neccesary.

Therefore, today, both enjoy peaceful relations with eachother, in some regards even positive relations.
