Qamatudh (Qamatudhi: Qómatuz [χɔmɑtuz]), officially the Crown of Qamatudh (Qamatudhi: Qómatuz Tócal [χɔmɑtuz tɔʐɑl]), is a country located in Vaniu.
The area of present-day Qamatudh was originally inhabited by Kalkali-speaking peoples who became predominantly Zarasaist. The territory would become part of the Great Horde from the late-13th to mid-17th centuries before transferring to the short-lived Wozan Khanate until 1664. The Great Horde would come to play an integral role in cementing Zarasaism as the dominant state religion in the later Qamatudhi Empire that would succeed the Wozan Khanate. After the Khanate's collapse, present-day Qamatudh fragmented into a few states under different tribal banners that were eventually subsumed into a single unified monarchy.
This Qamatudh Empire would last for the next few centuries until the 1990s, when most of eastern Qamatudh was later subsumed within the holdings of Kuulist Shomosvan in the 1990s, from which it would not become independent again until 2001. However, during this time, the west of the country had formed a breakaway state as a successor to the Qamatudhi Empire under a provisional government while the original monarch was forced into exile by Shomosvan.
Following the collapse of Shomosvan in 2001, the Kuulist-aligned east of the country was still faced off with the west, which remained loyalist. These two remained separate states and a civil conflict ensued until 2003, when the former Shomosvani territory was reincorporated into the Qamatudhi state and the former emperor was reinstated.
Present-day Qamatudh is a staunchly Zarasaist and anti-Kuulist monarchy whose main focuses are national unity and economic growth. It maintains cordial relations with neighboring Gushlia and has generally been Gushlia-aligned. However, it has yet to join trade associations such as the EVA and has remained at odds with Balakia despite the warming of Gushlia-Balakia relations.
