Zefrania

Zefrania IPA:zɛfɹˈe͡ɪni͡ə natively known as Alkhidi Sefrai it is an Emirate within the Tengalii duchy of the Crowned Union of Hafinia, which it rules and dominates. It is led by the dominant royal house, the Eydur dynasty (Ejzenhjart-Hejetür.) And has been led by Khedive/Tenoch/King Satüs Hejetür since it's establishment in December 2021. It exists in the deserts of Sparwood Minor, where it borders Vericovia, Regonia and Aezenfjord.

Prelude
Zefrania has existed in many forms, due to its repeated rise and fall. Therefore, it has existed with many different governments and religions, however it's foundation and ground beliefs has remained the same since it's founding.

Founding
On the 26th of December 2021, 5 Acodonians gathered in the townhall in Acodon and held a speech, waving a piece of paper. That declared it an independent state from the Sinatra-Mafia, it would formally be known as the Independent State of Zefrania, being an unorganized statesocracy ran by Satüs Hejetür and a military council. The Sinatra-Mafia announced their intents to take swift, definite and immediate action. Which the Zefranians saw one day later when a small army of Sinatrans came marching towards Acodon. They were swiftly repelled by the Solisian voulenteers and Zefranians however, and pushed back to their individual cities before being killed and their towns pillaged.

Establishment
Shortly after their victory and forcing the Sinatrans to sign the humiliating Treaty of Luxios, the Zefranians re-organized themselves into the Federal Kingdom of Zefrania, being led by Tenoch Satüs Hejetür, Grand Chancellor Iou Zahir and a small council made up of the Zefranian mayors. As it became clear that the remmenants of the Sinatra-Mafia would be attempting to retake Zefrania they started mobilizing and griding for gear. This led to a two months long cold war, and it ended in a Zefranian victory forcing the Sinatra-Mafia to make further concessions. This put an official end to the Sinatran Civil War.

Vulcan Incident
And Zefrania would find itself in a relatively peaceful position, except for a small incident where an individual from Lunaris would attempt to seize the nation, this failed however, as well calculated Zefranian diplomacy in cooperation with Lennox put a stop to his plans.

First Golden Age
After this Zefrania would find itself in a golden age, settling towns and its population and economy growing at a rapid pace. This would however quickly come to and end, as a bitter secret society was rising. MasterExplode, whom had comitted many mistakes such as making miscalculated diplomacy nearly bringing Zefrania into a war with Paloro, him illegally changing laws in the constitution and making many more mistakes that cost the Zefranian government alot in terms of diplomatic power and prestige.

Joining Alda and Zefranian Purges
Eventually the two leaders got fed up with this and made the decision to kick MasterExplode out of the council, this angered him especially when the two leaders then joined Alda, this was, however without consulting the council. The leaders argued that this was done out of safety concerns, Solisios and Vanyr had started becoming far more aggressive, but the rebels would not listen. They claimed themselves to be peaceful protesters, however their intentions of overthrowing the government were hardly hidden. The Aldan-Zefranian forces took immediate and decisive action in seizing their towns and kicking them out.

They would move down south, their revanchism being unbearable and would eventually get back at the people who took their towns and lifelyhood away.

Dissolution of the Federal Kingdom
On June 5th 2022, Satüs Hejetür would fall sick, unexpectedly. He would die from this. Iou Zahir would go on a prolonged vacation, this led to Alda holding a heavily rigged vote upon wether Zefrania should join Vanyr or remain a seperate duchy. The first won.
