Askaru Federation

The Askaru Federation, previously known as the Nandór-Lukkawan Confederation or just Nandór, is a state in southern Syltör and central Nándor, and spiritual successor to the long-lived Nandór Confederation, also known as the Ashuran-Hiarlliian Commonwealth. It is the 1st government of Ashura, a continuation of the Nandór Confederation, and Kingdom of Nearon.

Etymology
The country is officially known as the Askaru Confederation as of 1068 ACA. The word Askaru comes from Aldan, and means united regions. It was previously known as the Nandór-Lukkawan Confederation. This name derives the Nandór part of the name from the subcontinent Nándor and the subsequent Nandór Confederation. The Lukkawan part of the name is derived from the land bridge between Ummarnu and Haven, subsequently named "Lukkawa". Simply referred to as Nandór, or the NL Confederation. At its most informal, the terms "the Confederation" (not to be confused with the Nandór Confederation), or its abbreviation of NL are used.

Its citizens may be referred to as Askari. Previously, they were known as Nandór-Lukkawan, or simply as Nakkawan or Nandórian depending on which side of the Confederation they originally came from.

Formation of Nandór-Lukkawa
Shortly before the [Ashuran Golden Age] under Pharaoh Gildun Avaros Salah Amakiir a significant improvement of both societal and economic reforms took place and left the Third Dominion of Ashura the strongest it had ever been. In the winter of 989 ACA a Hiarllii delegation led by Duskic would officially begin to negotiate the terms & conditions of the Hiarllii Federation becoming a constituent member in the formation of the Nandór Confederation.
