Zefrania

Zefrania was founded on the 28th of December 2021. It's founding was announced as a rebellion, violently declaring independence from the Sinatra-Mafia as the Independent State of Zefrania (Now the Federal Kingdom of Zefrania.) Zefrania is located in the blazing hot deserts of Ummarnu in Rathnir. The nation borders Ardat-Mosul, Solisios, Kush, Vanyr and Uldarash. The nations capital is Acodon. Zefrania is known for a relatively peaceful behavior, but is not afraid to stand up for itself if a time should come where that is necessary

"No capitulation, they must face complete annihalation!" - Orleborle, after Wacko's attempt at making Zefrania surrender in the Zefranian War of Independence

Early History
The area where modern day Zefrania lays used to be ruled and dominated by the Kuzat Empire. The Zefranians has declared themselves the successors to them, and is attempting to re-claim their lost lands - they have most of the same culture and spirits as the Kuzat.

Founding
The nation, or the spark of Zefranian independent movements and nationalists, was eventually discovered after the bad treatment of the Acodonians in the Sinatra-Mafia. It's culture was being suppressed to a relatively large extent, as it followed a spirit of independence, wars and bloodlust - Acodon held a large amount of the Sinatra-Mafia's manpower meaning the loss of Acodon would be a catastrophe. Eventually, after a request of the Zefranians paying 200k for a very small piece of land was denied, on the 27th of December 2021, the Independent State of Zefrania was declared. Which would spark the bloody and drawn out Sinatran Civil War. It lasted between the 114 SMP to the 126 SMP (December 27th 2021 - February 12th 2022.) In the remaining days it would see everything turned against the Sinatra-Mafia and the complete destruction of the state. Zefrania had won.

Tegridian Purchase
In the middle of January the Tenoch of Zefrania Zedis Eydur stumbled upon the calipha of Ardat-Mosul. He saw her giving the town of Tegridy whom Zefrania had extra ordinarily close ties with an ultimatum. He pulled her aside and started talking with her in Acodon. Eventually they came up with an unofficial purchase, nothing had really been settled yet. But some politicians in Ardat-Mosul had plans of aggression against Tegridy, and because of that Zefrania saw it as the best option for them to purchase the town. Eventually a deal in which everyone were satisfied was made. The town would allow all of the local religions: Lux, The Whiteness of Marry and Berry Jane and the Ardat religion; A NAP would be signed between Ardat and Zefrania; Zefrania would pay $80k for Tegridy and some surrounding territories.

The Zefranian Depression
After all of these wars, the Zefranian economy was in shambles - it was in complete ruins. The money which was left, was quickly used as to invest in rebuilding processes for Zefrania's cities, but this would only ruin the economy more. The Zefranian economy would eventually start to rise again, after multiple ideas being passed through the council.

The Zefranian Golden Age
After the recovery from the Zefranian Depression, a major population, military and economic boom would suddenly happen - Ice railways were constructed, temples, literature everything was better. The Zefranians would be able to defend themselves, and had attracted over 30 new people within a month. Major reforms happened, making the nation more free with religious freedom being introduced, allowing the people to worship and practice whatever faith they pleased.

Zefranian Flag
Zefranian Flag explained:

Orange Colour: The orange colour represents prestige

Black Colour: The dark ages which the Zefranian people served under the Sinatra-Mafia

The Sun: The Sun represents the belief and dedication to Lux from the Zefranian people. The sun also surrounding alot of cultural and important things in Zefrania, it also represents Lux bringing greater protection over the nation.

The White: The white represents independence

Yellow Colour: The yellow colour represents prospherity and life

The Behemoth: The Behemoth is the elephant in the center which is a huge cultural thing for the Zefranians therefor it represents Culture and Strength

The Royal Crown: The royal Crown holds 3 jewels representing the three provinces within the Zefranian territory it also represents all of the thing inside the sun being protected by the monarchy and the tenoch

The Zefranian flag has also been used as a symbol of the Luxite Nationalists. Which is a group of extreme Luxites, who wishes the world to be completely converted to the true goddess of light Lux. the Luxite Nationalists is a thriving government funded party, which also had led the nation for a while also under Zedis Eydur though - they believe the nations who are currently Luxite should still be kept under control by it's current enlightened leaders. And that the dangerous heathens of the other nations should be led by an enlightend person from that nation. Luxite nationalism has failed to spread far, but is a huge force within Zefrania, and it has managed to keep a lot of stability and religious support for the nation.

But afterwards, the soldiers who were reported as nervous and not ready to fight, felt bravery and ran out with no regards for their life or well being winning the battle. He is also have said to be one of the reasons of the low numbers of Zefranian casualties. A statue in the center of Zefrania has been made dedicated to Pburadi, which is a soldier armed with a spear and shield, wearing leather armour.
