Komania self-designated as ( Koman: . Qālqāra .; Qālxāra ['xɒlxɒrä]) also known as Khalharia, officially the Great Nation of Komania ( Koman: . Mowat Qāza-sē Qālqāra . Mowat Qāza-sē Qālxāra) is a sovereign state in Vaniua. With about 42 million inhabitants, Komania is the ?-most populous country. Comprising an area of 814.130 km² making it the ? largest country in Vaniua and the ? in Sahar. Komania is bordered to the north by the Melkanchuta lake, to the northeast by ? and Kaatkukia, to the east by Balakia, to the south by the Khanate of Gushlia and Nekhilia, to the southwest by Ohania and finally Xonqorot and Shohuan to the west, Komania is considered to be the country with most sheared borders in Vaniua followed by Balakia and Shohuan. The country's location in central Vaniua bordering the Melkanchuta lake along the flowing rivers of Braghak and Kashis give it a geostrategic importance. Shanvan is the country's capital and one of the largest economic centres of the nation only behind Samadar.

Etymology

The name Koman ( Koman: . Qāman .; Qāman ['xɒmän]) designating present-day Komania only, is a medieval term first recorded around 1150 AD by Vaniuan scholars to designate the short-lived Khanate of Qoman suited along the southern coasts of the Melkanchuta lake, it became a popular ethnonym among Komans during the Great Horde after Shi Oshar applied the term to the newly settled Kalkali tribes of the former Kalkali state. It became synonymous with the term Qāmandi, applied to the former inhabitants of the Qoman Khanate and their language. The ethnonym "Koman" is itself of unknown origin, however, several theories suggested by prominent scholars pinpoint a possible origin from the Koman word Qāma meaning "coast" and hypothesising the possible suffix -an, Qāman might itself mean "the people of the coast" or "of the coast" itself a possible cognate to the Koman suffix -a. Other theories suggest a possible origin from the word Qām meaning "ten" historically used for the tribal confederation of Qom which was itself composed by ten core tribes.

The self-designation Qālxāra meaning "land of Khalhars" begun to be used around the 16th century to refer to the Koman diaspora throughout the Great Horde, composed by the ethnonym Qālxār and the suffix -a meaning "place of" or "land of" it was at the time exclusively used to refer to any territory inhabited by tribes of Kalkali origin and the Kalkali Khanate in general. Due to strong nationalism among Komans around the 19th century, the State Assembly opted for the use of Qālxāra as the standard name for Komania, as an incentive to "straighten" the roots of the Koman people.

Historically, Komania has been known through several names, as a literary tradition, poetic names have been made to designate Komania or highlight any of its peculiarities, prominent variants are Dēğshēnden or Dēğshēndeh meaning "land of white sand(s)" unintentionally synonymous with "land of holy sands" and Hokdot meaning "high land" in reference to the numerous valleys in Komania.

History

Prehistory

The earliest evidence of human activity in the region has been dated back to around 100,000 BC and 90,000 BC during the Micoquien palaeolithic era with the discovery of archaeological artefacts throughout several regions of Komania, at that time, it is attested that the Melkanchuta lake formed a vast body of water which might have comprised the lower areas of the Vaniuan basin and most of its northern areas. The relatively dry but yet greenier area of the plateau served as an excellent refuge for early human settlements. The first settlements formed the base for the rise of early pre-Vaniuan peoples who established the first city-states in the region. According to archaeological evidence, pre-Vaniuan civilisations developed an economy strongly based on agriculture and lived in large settlements, with a compact and largely sedentary population. The formerly green valleys of Vaniu served as a critical factor for the growth and development of these city-states and the expansion of agriculture as the main economic activity in the region during this period.

Notable influences in religion, architecture and linguistics can be seen in modern Vaniuan populations, whose legacy has mostly been analysed through architectural and linguistic evidence. It is known that pre-Vaniuans formed settlements with populations that could overpass 500,000 inhabitants as seen in the city of Samadar which according to archaeologists once had a population of around 300,000 inhabitants. Pre-Vaniuan populations can be divided into three groups: northern pre-Vaniuans who inhabited the foots of the Miralaya, western pre-Vaniuans from the green valleys of modern Shohuan and neighbouring populations and southern pre-Vaniuans who mainly inhabited the Vaniuan plateau.
