Alay Alaari

The Alay Alaari is a nation located in central Ummarnu. Its name directly translates to "Alaari Democracy" which is fitting since it is built upon democracy and freedom for all.

Founding
Alay Alaari was founded in, when the Aldan and Uldarashi governments agreed to grant it its independence as a sovereign nation. It was achieved through the skillful art of diplomacy and peaceful talks of succession. The official document that declared its sovereignty was the Hukigiaa Alaari, translates to "Alaari Freedom", which outlined the reasons for independence as well as how the temporary placeholder government would work.

Alda
The current territory of Alay Alaar (excluding Alaqara) made up the Duchy of Talawa inside the Kingdom of Alda. Alaqara, also known as Menaphos, Port Tizoc or Crystillia, was an empty city in the south of the Duchy of Darinakua which was being restored by the AARC (Alaar and Alaqara Restoration Committee). The city was later annexed by Alay Alaari as per the terms in the Hukigiaa Alaari.

Alda inherited the Huitcan state of Talawa when Tlatoani Gem Alai forfeited the throne and dissolved the Huitca Federation. The neighbouring states of Centaris and Adaen gained their freedom while Talawa remained a duchy inside of Alda. Generally, the people of Alaar did not approve of Alda since it was seen as a foreign power, despite historically being a Huitcan vassal. After several months of inactivity in Alaar, the remaining inhabitants became frustrated that nothing was being done on Alda's part to help grow Talawa and keep it from dying. This, and several other factors, are what led to the desire to become an independent nation. After drawn-out debates, the state was finally set free.

Huitca
Before Alda occupied the present-day territory of Alay Alaari, the Huitca Federation held sovereignty over the land. It was split into 3 different states at the time. Alaqara was held by Darinakua, and Seaso was a separate state from Talawa. It was not until that Seaso was integrated into Talawa, though as a state park due to its historical significance. This integration received little resistance as Seaso was essentially uninhabited and the Talawan/Alaari people had pushed for its integration for a while. However, some, though few, did believe that this was an illegal annexation, as an agreement was made between Tzseu, the founder of the Seasoan village, and the Huitcan government that it would remain under Huitca's rule so long as it could stay as a state.

Talawa was claimed by Huitca in the year while under the reign of the third Cihuacoatl, Tyo'on'tyo, although it was not until 74 TE that Talawa received its first Hoxi (appointed Huitcan state leader). At around this time, the state was home to Sandburg, Vineyyad, Dailag and Alaar. Ultimately, each and every settlement in Talawa crumbled one by one against the test of time as Alaar slowly rose to become the dominant entity of the state. It became the sole city remaining in Talawa, as the rest had either perished from inactivity or been crushed by hostile nomads and/or rebels. It thus became a de facto city state and was commonly referred to as Alaar rather than Talawa.

Alaar's control over Talawa was a significant milestone in its history, since it sparked the beginning of the Alaari Golden Age. This was a time of great cultural, scientific and political advancement. The Alaari Golden Age is considered to have begun at approximately, just as Athna Hapaqalchi was elected as the second Umayir of Alaar. Most of the city's architecture was built during this period. The streets were usually bustling with merchants and travelers seeking fortunes and propserity. Alaar was rich, powerful and even started initiatives to restore its surrounding abandoned cities. Its reach even started expanding into federal Huitcan politics.

Government
The government of Alay Alaari is currently undergoing change and is a partially undetermined so information may change. Below is a very brief outline of the main bodies of government, although for a more in-depth version, see the constitution, the Puyuqr Alaari (translates to "Alaari Light") once it is completed and ratified.

The Umayir, literally translating to "leader", is the figurehead of Alay Alaari. They are the head of state and represent the people, the land, and the government. It is the role of the Umayir to conduct weekly meetings of the Clahto where changes to and creation of new laws/policies is done. They act as the speaker and ensure that the sessions remain civilised and orderly.

The Clahto, literally translating to "council", is made up of several Clahtkam (plural: Clahtkamai) which act as councilors. Each Clahtkam represents a department of the government. These departments of government are
