Sahrland, otherwise known as the Kingdom of Sahrland (Egercian: Ríocht na Sahrlandiya), is a hilly state north of tekkia. Sahrland has an extensive coastline connecting to the Sea of Kolus. To the south lies Phoenia, and the large western steppe leads to Sceania. It's capitol, Khosa, lies on the coast.

Etymology

The name sahrland comes from a great migration of peoples which would alter the makeup of egercia happening sometime before 2116. They would name the land they inhabited "sahrlands" and eventually integrate into the peoples already there. It resulted in "Sahrland" representing the state and "Egercia" representing the people and the land. In modern times the two terms have come to be almost interchangeable.

Languages

languages are divided into "recognized languages" ones which are recognized to be spoken and legitimately part of the sahren state, and "integrated languages", ones which are so important to the state that precautions must be made by state institutions to include them. this means that just because a language is recognized, it is not necessarily going to be featured.

The current recognized languages of sahrland are Egercian, Tekkian, and Old Sahren (also called Chevspendi).

The current integrated languages of sahrland are Egercian and old sahren/chevspendi.

Although the majority language is Egercian, Egercian itself is a dialect of and is similar to Tekkian. Old Sahren/chevspendi is recognized as a language because it was the language spoken by sahrens before they adopted the egercian language. Only a very tiny amount of the population speaks old sahren/chevspendi as egercian was used as a way to linguistically unify the nation after its founding.

within the sahrland-bastia commonwealth, nuvan and upper bastian are recognized langauges while bastian is an integrated language.

additionally other non-republic areas (areas that are lower than republic in autonomy) have their own. sahren chadastok has egercian but most kerbals there speak hartford and the trading hub nature of chadastok it is recognized that there will be those who do not speak either and instead have a multitude of other languages from the peoples in veiid.

Military

Air Corp

Sahren air doctrine revolves around battlefield support and battlefield support only. The airforce is integrated fully into the army as the Sahren Republican Air-corp.

Army

After the civil war the Sahren Republican Guard was formally created to make up for the dismissal of the masses of militia. It is stressed that the army is to be put under control over the state and de-politicized. The SRG since has become a very small professional force intent only on policing the borders of Sahrland. Since it's founding, the SRG has only fought in border conflicts with various groups like the South Sahrland Revolutionaries and Free Army of Hartfordia. Many have come to question the gutted force's effectiveness in a conventional war.

Navy

The Sahren Republican Navy was created in theory in the beginning of the civil war. It held no vessels until the destruction of junta forces in entirety, when the SN khosa and SN Medraria were seized. The khosa was unused after sahrland's defeat to Ophir which started the civil war in the first place, and Medraria barely finished production in time for the beginning of the civil war. Only two more ships were ever produced, both of phoenian origins, the Deir class "Agile" and "Able". The Sahren Republican Navy has seen no combat since it's founding and has little in the name of naval theory or experience.

History

Foundation of the sahren state

The principality of sahrland was created after a great migration of people from inner kolus, people of the Vagani, Carsadonian, Saguaro, and Tata are likely origins of the nomads who would eventually migrate into egercia. Their state was founded around the time of the collapse of tekkia. The state was an absolute monarchy under Miden lavro the first. The stability of the state would be a large hinderance, due to the tensions between those adopting egercian language and culture and those who cling onto their burric history. at this time the tekkian collapse was occurring, garunteeing the nation would not be annexed into aonta. during this time the monarchy would gain large power over the state, earning Miden lavro the nickname "iron ruler". Sahrland would participate in wars with two other states in an effort to conquer and unite egercia, called "grand duchy of Kravsmad" and the "kingdom of upper ria". sahrland almost annexed Kravsmad until upper ria joined the war out of fear of being annexed. Quickly sahrland was beaten and sent retreating, losing khosa and relocating the capital to slovale. it seemed like sahrland would end there until the phoenian federal union state would suddenly annex Chosaint, and continue marching north. A ravaged sahrland quickly took the opportunity to push back. kravsmad and upper ria could not stand up to the larger military of phoenia and quickly were beaten back, with sahrland reclaiming all of the land it lost. Due to the low legitimacy of the country, it was unclear if the union state would attempt to annex sahrland as well. Although plans did exist to annex sahrland into the union state, both countries were suffering from the affects of war and were unwilling to commit to another.

Journey of the first principality

as all great leaders eventually do, prince Miden Lavro would eventually pass, and his son, named in his honour, would take the throne. Prince Miden Lavro the second would instead be known as a great reformer in complete contrast to the absolutist style of ruling his father had used. Under his leadership the popularity of the government rose due to a growing economy and increased international relations. though his reign was cut short when he died of a stroke one day, leaving his teenage son kirbo lavro to rule. In the instability following, a certain "nedfry svoboda" and his "movement for sahren democracy" began to amass power, to the point where kirbo lavro was forced into turning the country into a constitutional monarchy. this continued for a short while until the democratic republic of halgonia's radical actions such as forcefully modifying kerbals sparked interest in several nations. Sahrland was secretly invited to this coalition, with the purpose of sending a list of impossible demands to halgonia as a justification for war. Kirbo lavro would declare emergency powers to shut down the parliament and send the demands. this controversial action would become the eventual end of the first principality. although many nations backed the coalition, lack of direction and firm opposition by most other world powers doomed it from the start. additionally this proved to all factions in sahrland the monarchy could not be trusted. most political parties became hostile to the government, and also began violently opposing eachother so they could ensure their own victory when the monarchy fell. this almost tore the state apart, the government lost control of several key points of the country. eventually the military high command, under chief of army Alekzander Kholsahr would launch a coup to take control of state affairs until kirbo lavro was deemed fit to rule again. the resulting junta would ironically only delay what they were fighting against.

Junta

Much of the recent history of sahrland and the makeup of the current sahren state was due to the actions taken by the junta. The government functioned in an authoritarian capitalist regime, with the high command acting as a sort of pairlament of their own, though technically the chief of army could override anything. The junta would cause the formation of the south sahrland revolutionaries, a group of radical nationalists acting as a terror group in the south egercia provinces in phoenia which would only be crushed in late 2147. Political parties would either seek exile until the time was right for their return, or stay underground, also waiting for the time to strike. The "movement for sahren democracy" and newly formed social democrat "worker's party" would flee into Phoenia, particularly south Egercia. The radical socialist sahren labour party, however would flee into ophir and get involved in the current civil war there, supporting the ganap rebellion until severe persecution by the ophirian republic would force them out. The junta would also support phoenia diplomatically in the partition of grestin but never actually fought. The sahren military junta would seek a mutual defence pact with phoenia afterward, which lasts to this day. The junta would join phoenia in the burr war, siting "unpopular support" and "warmongering" as a reason, quite ironically exactly what the junta was doing itself. Zokesia would also have a civil war with stahlsieg units defecting to surnay and taking control of several federal republics. Sahren ground forces would move to schrschnell with units from nuvastia to help defeat the stahlsieg there, but they were defeated before the taskforce could arrive. Nuvan and sahren soldiers would commit one of the worst crimes known to the concept of free information, in pure hatred of the name and an effort to rename schrschnell to wardia, they began destroying any mention of schrschnell. they would only stop when zokesia threatened war. During this time a revolution had been being plotted by the radical socialist labour party, with their anarchist allies. They overran the garrisons at the capital city of khosa as well as slovale, but would not be able to take sus, dugthail, or klensagrad. these chaotic revolutions would be called "The first pozhar revolts". Initially it seemed like a valued ally in the struggle against the burr federation was collapsing, the socialists nearly linked up, but their advance would eventually be stopped. operation kerosene would push the labour party back with land-air cooperation and an emphasis on taking advantage of how unorganized the labour party was. the first siege of slovale would see a large amount of the city destroyed, forshadowing what is later to come. The nuvastian state would collapse and to keep a balance of power in the region it was decided the sahren military junta should create a puppet state there, called "sahren nuvastia". Wardia would take the opportunity to leave and join zokesia as a federal republic, and was allowed to due to local politicans being bribed to let it slide. Following ophirian aggression to celepran and south comer, the junta would publicly garuntee their independence. unsurprisingly, ophir would ignore this garuntee of independence, and war would break out. on one side, south comer and sahrland, on the other stood ophir. The sahren people however were tired of junta rule, especially the inherent warmongering they had been doing since the state's creation. The klensagrad harbour strikes would result in many losing their lives in a violent crackdown. The war would not end in a junta victory at all, the pride of the fleet SN-khosa was destroyed by ophirian aircraft as well as the entire airforce and phoenian volunteer group. the phoenian federal union state pressured both sides into peace, the initial talks were very harsh, with ophir demanding military bases on both sahrland and phoenia. Both staunchly rejected, and the war dragged on until ophir finally settled on a white peace. however it did not matter, the treaty of cath would indirectly result in the collapse of the sahren military junta.

Sahren Civil War

The failure to win the war and violent crackdowns had proved to everyone, every group, every man woman and child, that the sahren military junta was rotten to the core and had to be torn down to be rebuilt. following the treaty of cath, violence and protests would continue and grow in magnitude, the military would see more and more defections, more and more supplies were being hoarded. the metaphorical sharks were beginning to circle. the movement for sahren democracy and worker's party merged to form the republican party. kirbo lavro himself began secretly plotting with his monarchist allies to overthrow the junta. the national salvation party and labour party began to also prepare. in 2144 The republicans struck first, smuggling weapons and material into the junta and taking the backwater of sus, the labour party would take control of klensagrad and another pocket in the north attempted to march to slovale. the national salvation party also rose up in the north. several parties aligned to the sahren factions would also rise up in sahren nuvastia. the various factions would all advance quickly into the junta, by the time the republicans were at the outskirts of dugthail kirbo lavro had gathered up monarchist supporters and taken the city right after pledging support to the republican faction. the junta would collapse shortly after the labour party siezed control of slovale. Chief of army alekzander kholsahr was found dead in khosa, and evidence pointed to him slipping on a banana peal and breaking his neck being the cause of death. The sahren nuvastia regime wouldn't collapse immediately but with the head cut off the snake, it clearly could not survive. Slovale would be surrounded by the national salvation party afterward and both the labour party and national salvation party would begin pulling their forces out of sahren nuvastia, effectively leaving the bastian front won by the republicans, who would be quick to pull forces out of after the victory. The national salvation party would begin an offensive to take khosa before the republican troops arrived, but failed to make much progress. At this point most of the world was backing the republican faction, including the phoenian federal union state. the "anarcho syndicalist commune of sahrland" or more popularly known as the "klensagrad commune" would split off of the labour party and attempt to push the republicans out of the klensagrad peninsula. only a few weeks afterward, a zokesian taskforce near the area sighted the red and black banner over klensagrad, and begun to bombard the city. During the bombardment Ancom naval batteries heavily damaged one ship and lightly damaged others. The zokesi bombardment resulted in most of the Ancom naval batteries to be destroyed, and damage to the industrial ability to make war. So far the republican faction had absorbed and made peace with as many smaller groups as possible, and had by extension outnumbered the other factions in support and strength, at the cost of the purity of the original movement. The final offensive resulted in a complete collapse of all other factions and instituted the republicans as the rulers of sahrland and sahrland bastia. The chief of army, Nedfry Svoboda, was selected to be the first president of the state.
