Morasavia

Morasavia, officially the Republic of Morasavia, is an island nation located in the Nesionytan Islands, specifically the Irjysian Archipelago, of , located west of Tekeleb, north of Maryaadah, and southeast of Shimbori Islands. It is composed of a single island with six smaller islands, and its capital is the city of Shebshebrew (Sêbsêbrew), with its largest city being Choklacha (Čoglȃd̬ȃ).

Homo sapiens have settled in the territory now in modern-day Morasavia since the 2nd century BC, and is the first territory in the Irjysian Archipelago to be settled by humans. Multiple city-states were established in the island, which were collectively known as the Morasavian city-states, named after the largest of which, Marawsha. The city-states later became part of the Irjysian rajate in 391 AD, with the capital being set in a former Morasavian city-state known as Choklacha until being moved to Thakki in modern-day Maryaadah in 688 AD. The Rajate of Morasava was established after the split of the Irjysian rajate in 845 AD. It later declared war on the Rajate of Tekeleb after a Morasavan ship was allegedly wrecked by Tekelebese forces in 1004, beginning the Three-Rajate War. All the sides later made peace in 1295, marking the end of the war.

was introduced to Morasavia in 1360 via the Shimbori Islands and the rajate was later converted to a sultanate. Several Nutaderramis fled to neighboring states due to them facing persecution by Islamic authorities. The neighboring states later cut ties with Morasava, but were later restored after the sultanate agreed to protect its Nutaderrami citizens. Many Muslim immigrants have also settled in Maryaadah and Tekeleb. In 1694, the Rajate of Irjysia forcibly annexed Morasava and later renamed itself to Maryaadah, as an objective to avoid colonial rule. The later took control of the entirety of the Irjysian archipelago and established the British Irjysia colony in 1786. The colony was dissolved in 1789 following the Irjysian revolution and Maryaadah's independence was restored. Morasavia was later reestablished with its current name as a rajate on August 29, 1822, the same day as Tekeleb. After a year of independence, Morasavia shifted its capital from Choklacha to Shebshebrew, located in the center of the country.

During the, Morasavia was declared a republic on June 15, 1941 by military general Oswatu Muhammad and directly aligned itself with the Mahbartha Empire, which in turn was an ally, in an aim to become a regional power within the Irjysian Archipelago, but they were immediately crushed by Maryaadanese and Tekelebese forces. Muhammad was later deposed in 1942 and was replaced with Rejenwal Koha Khan as president. The economy of Morasavia later boomed and eventually became a regional power within central Nesionyta.

Etymology
The country is historically known in many names. The 'Morasavia' name is derived from the Irjysian term "morasava", which means "diamond", as it is known for its diamond production. Many also speculate that the name is a translation of the native "muarasaw", which also refers to diamond, from which the name of the city of Marawsha is derived. The country was historically referred to as "Morasava", with the -ia suffix added at the end replacing the last 'a' in 1822. The native name of Morasavia, In̋hari̋s̬ut, is derived from "in̋harȃ", which means house.

Restoration of Independence as a Rajate (1822–1941)
Morasavia's independence was formally restored on August 29, 1822, several years after the dissolution of British Irjysia, once again as the Rajate of Morasavia, under Raja Bolowantruxe IX, thus continuning the Minsiqalhat dynasty which had ruled Morasavia for several years prior to 1694. The country regained independence on the same day as Tekeleb. Shortly after this, Morasavia founded and began constucting the city of Shebshebrew, which would serve as the new capital for economic and social growth. The country officially moved its capital from Choklacha on August 29, 1823, on the occasion of the first anniversary of its reestablishment. A new palace for the Raja was also built, subsequently replacing the old Royal Palace of Choklacha, which is now used as the city hall. Bolowantruxe IX died on July 10, 1828 and his son, Oswarmanarxal II, ascended the throne.

The regime of Oswarmanarxal had a significant impact on Morasavian society, including economic development, growing industrial economy, adoption of Western values and democracy, and more. The rajate was eventually converted into a in 1835, the first in the Nesionytan Islands. The country's societal and economic reforms helped Morasavia turn into a middle income country by the 1850s. However, following the death of Oswarmanarxal in 1859, Morasavia started to experience an economic back turn due to corruption and authoritarianism by the ascending rajas who demand power to themselves. The country managed to overcome this by trading with neighboring states and encouraging national unity.

The country began suffering from political crisis in the 1870s mostly due to seperatist movements in the south demanding their own state, going by the name of Teopardane. Shortly after the, they were inspired by the Confederates in the United States to establish a "Confederate-like" nation in southern Morasavia after facing alleged discrimination from the government predominantly led by the Inharian ethnic group. The seperatists attempted to set fire to the Shebshebrew Raja Palace on May 26, 1874, but were immediately cracked down by the royal soldiers. Following this, the Rajate government began designating all of the native ethnic groups in the country as a single ethnicity, "Morasavian", and began allowing anyone to join the government regardless of their ethnic background.

A territorial dispute between Morasavia and Shimbori Islands over a couple of uninhabited islands, the so-called Sqarwanto Archipelago, led to the Shimbori-Morasavia maritime conflict, lasting four years from 1900 to 1904. Maryaadah later brokered a peace agreement between the both sides and the islands were divided. Later in 1911, Morasavia began suffering from an economic crisis brought by the war and mismanagement. This later led to mass protests in January 1912 calling for the resignation of prime minister Ualpowk Sinsimardu. In 1915, Morasavia sent some of its soldiers to Europe to fight for the during. The country did this in order to boost relations with the west and to avoid any threats from the Obanacian Empire. Ualpowk Sinsimardu assumed office again as prime minister in 1925 right after the assassination of Xabdullah Sartak Olen.

The during the 1930s crippled Morasavia's economy and mismanagement led to the country transforming into one of the poorest in Oceania. Protests emerged once again against Sinsimardu and even the Rajate government in January 1934, which evolved into unrest and rioting. Sinsimardu was assassinated by a UoC student and his ancestral home in Karilmasar was set on fire. On July 20, 1934 Raja of Morasavia Hatiribarxasad III announced economic and social reforms within Morasavia in order to cool down the nationwide unrest. Curfews were enacted in many parts of the country, especially urban areas. This, however, worsened the situation and several protesters burned down the Shebshebrew Raja Palace on August 18, 1934.

Languages
The constitution of Morasavia recognizes five languages as national, which are Morasavian, Abwashkoha, Cebcesshe, Kafrouran, and Zouitkhahe. Of which, Morasavian is the official language and the main language of instruction, thus making it the lingua franca of Morasavia, with around 90% speaking it as such. However, only 36% of the population speak Morasavian as their native language. This is followed by Cebcesshe with 10%, Zouitkhahe with 10%, Abwashkoha with 8%, and Kafrouran with 6%. The rest 30% speak countless minority languages.

Alongside Morasavian, due to exposure to outside media and globalization, is widely spoken as a lingua franca in Morasavia, although only 18% of the total population speak it as such, being mostly concentrated in urban areas, especially in major cities. The use of the English language as the language of instruction is increasingly widespread in the country, although Morasavian and other national languages are also required to be taught in schools. Many have traced the introduction of the English language into the country to colonial times, when the colonized the entire Irjysian archipelago for a brief period of time.

Media
Radio broadcasting commenced from Shebshebrew in 1928, under the In̋hari̋s̬i Ródiyo banner. The network was later renamed to In̋hari̋s̬i Te̬lavisye xâ Ródiyo (ITR) as soon as television broadcasting began on May 27, 1959, with the launch of 1Kânâl d̬han ITR. It was the only television channel in Morasavia until the launch of 2Kânâl d̬han ITR in 1963. There are no state-owned television networks in Morasavia, although ITR is publicly funded, even after its privatization in 1995. Commercial television formally arrived in 1980 with the launch of Kőhlâri3, and soon more television stations followed. Satellite television was introduced in 1994.
