'''Nevira''' ([[Neviran]]: ''Nivixi'' [[Modern Neviran#Phonology|/niβiɣi/]]), officially the '''Republic of the Delta''' (Neviran: ''Tukeṫḳet Nivixe'' [[Modern Neviran#Phonology|/tʉkɛtʼkʼɛt niβiɣe/]]), is a country located in east [[Baredina]]. Nevira is considered a regional power in both [[Ekuosia]] and [[Baredina]], having the largest economy on the continent and being an influential member of the [[Ekuosian Union]]. The [[Neviric Empire]], which conquered much of Ekuosia in the late 15th century, remains the largest empire in Sahar history by contingent area.

Nevira has been inhabited by hominids for millions of years, and by early modern humans since shortly after they evolved on Sahar, due to its proximity to the origin of the species. While most modern Nevirans can trace their ancestry to the [[Ekuo-Lahiri people]] who arrived in the last 3,000 years, there remain some descendants of pre-EL indigenous groups.


===Early history===
==Early history==
The Neviric peoples first originated in what is now ???, as part of the Ekuo-Lahiri societies along the [[Saru]] Coast. During the [[Adzo-Neviric Migration]], the ancestors of the Neviric and Adzamic peoples migrated southwest along the coast over a few centuries, splitting into several distinct peoples as groups split off and ventured further inland; those that were to become the Neviric people reached the [[Ekuos Delta]] around 1500 BCE. Over the next four hundred years, they established dominance over the various other peoples in the region, but mostly remained in the ??? region as they had not yet unified. <s>Having also brought writing in the form of the ??? script, the Kauzics were the first to introduce writing to Sizhak, and consequently to the entirety of Kauzia.</s> [Probably some other route]
The Neviric peoples first originated near the [[Kasingadh lakes]] in the [[Ekuosian desert]]. During the [[Adzo-Neviric migration]], the ancestors of the Neviric and Adzamic peoples migrated southeast through the [[Green Ekuosia|then-green desert]] over a few centuries, splitting into several distinct peoples as groups split off; those that were to become the Neviric people reached the [[Ekuos Delta]] around 1500 BCE (or earlier?). Over the next four hundred years, they established dominance over the various other peoples in the region, but mostly remained in the delta region as they had not yet unified.

{{main article|Neviran Empire}}
<s>By 1110 BCE, the Kauzics had unified and developed their own distinct culture. Villages had begun to develop across Zint, especially on the coast and along the many rivers in the area. In 1098 BCE, the first Kauzic emperor, [[Tem]], took control of the Kauzic villages and created a loosely unified civilization known as Than. The next three centuries was characterized by a pursuit of knowledge in order to "uplift" Kauzic society, as well as an increase in literacy in the Itamea script. By then, the Itamea script had become significantly defective as the Kauzic language distinguished many more sounds than were written down.
By the early 1400s, Nevira had slowly begun to reunify. In the 1430s, the [GROUP1] took control over the entirety of Nevira and declared themselves leaders of the Neviric peoples. The 1450s saw a wave of assimilation as [GROUP1] rulers sought to homogenize the country in hopes of minimizing internal conflicts. Even after the resistance was defeated and shamed, the emperor continued to build up the military, having a strong desire to "uplift" other Ekuosian nations through conquest. The first emperor of the actual Neviric Empire, [PERSON1], shared a similar but less extreme desire (coupled with a hunger for power). Just two years after coming into power, [PERSON1] ordered the Neviran military to invade the west.


As Kauzic society began to flourish for the first time, emperors sought expansion in the 800s BCE. The Kauzics were among the first in the world to invent iron weaponry, and soon after prepared for war against the surrounding peoples. By 850 BCE, the Kauzics had control of what are now the [[Zet]] and [[Vat]] regions, and slowly pushed further east. In 845 BCE, the emperor [[Lhat]] initiated a twenty year long conquest of much of modern-day Kauzia, assimilating or sometimes destroying different peoples along the way.
Later they also took over some stuff to the north.


The Classical Period began shortly after [[Grik]] became the emperor of Than in 810 BCE. The Kauzics began to focus less on war and more on the pursuit of knowledge, as had happened before expansion, but the Classical Period was notable for this attitude being more widespread and more emphasized. Advancements in sciences such as astronomy were made over the next three centuries, and with the rise of [[Mijism]] public interest in philosophy and spirituality grew with it. Mijism became such an important part of the Kauzic culture that it partially led to a change in Than's leadership, which until its collapse would be "politically ruled" by the ''bant'' (the equivalent of an emperor) and "spiritually ruled" by the ''rant'' (the equivalent of a pope). This "half-theocracy" system would provide the basis for Kauzic government up until the late 18th century.
The invention of gunpowder was essential to the rapid development of the Neviran Empire, but also to its decline. As conquered peoples acquired the new technology they were able to fight back more effectively.
 
It was also during this time that cities such as [[Iru]] and [[Niuzhen]] began to grow larger than any previous settlements as advances in art and architecture were made. The [[Temple of Mij]] was built in the [[Seper]] to serve as the "spiritual capital" of Than, and continues to be the only Mijist temple ever built in Kauzia. But many small shrines had also been made in this period, and today they are scattered across the country.</s>

The [[Kauzic Civil War]] lasted only two years, ending with the anti-imperialists taking control of Iru.

Nevira (Neviran: Nivixi /niβiɣi/), officially the Republic of the Delta (Neviran: Tukeṫḳet Nivixe /tʉkɛtʼkʼɛt niβiɣe/), is a country located in east Baredina. Nevira is considered a regional power in both Ekuosia and Baredina, having the largest economy on the continent and being an influential member of the Ekuosian Union. The Neviric Empire, which conquered much of Ekuosia in the late 15th century, remains one of the largest empires in history by contingent area.

Etymology

Nivixi comes from the Proto Ekuo-Lahiri word for 'delta'.

History

Nevira has been inhabited by hominids for millions of years, and by early modern humans since shortly after they evolved on Sahar, due to its proximity to the origin of the species. While most modern Nevirans can trace their ancestry to the Ekuo-Lahiri people who arrived in the last 3,000 years, there remain some descendants of pre-EL indigenous groups.

Early history

The Neviric peoples first originated near the Kasingadh lakes in the Ekuosian desert. During the Adzo-Neviric migration, the ancestors of the Neviric and Adzamic peoples migrated southeast through the then-green desert over a few centuries, splitting into several distinct peoples as groups split off; those that were to become the Neviric people reached the Ekuos Delta around 1500 BCE (or earlier?). Over the next four hundred years, they established dominance over the various other peoples in the region, but mostly remained in the delta region as they had not yet unified.

Neviran Empire

By the early 1400s, Nevira had slowly begun to reunify. In the 1430s, the [GROUP1] took control over the entirety of Nevira and declared themselves leaders of the Neviric peoples. The 1450s saw a wave of assimilation as [GROUP1] rulers sought to homogenize the country in hopes of minimizing internal conflicts. Even after the resistance was defeated and shamed, the emperor continued to build up the military, having a strong desire to "uplift" other Ekuosian nations through conquest. The first emperor of the actual Neviric Empire, [PERSON1], shared a similar but less extreme desire (coupled with a hunger for power). Just two years after coming into power, [PERSON1] ordered the Neviran military to invade the west.

Later they also took over some stuff to the north.

The invention of gunpowder was essential to the rapid development of the Neviran Empire, but also to its decline. As conquered peoples acquired the new technology they were able to fight back more effectively.

Interimperial period

The collapse of the Neviran Empire left a chaotic array of small splintered states across Ekuosia and Puzimm.

Saruan Empire

In the 16??s Nevira became the seat of another empire, this one mainly focused on overseas expansion into Lahan and Ystel, as well as parts of Povania and southern Puzimm. This empire was longer-lived than the previous, remaining a formal empire until the 18??s. Even after the official dissolution of the empire, Nevira maintained some control over some of its former colonial assets into the 1???s.

Republic of the Delta

Modern history

Geography

Geology

Climate

Almost all of Nevira has a humid subtropical climate, which is quite warm and even in the winter does not typically reach freezing. The north of the country is hotter and split into monsoon and savannah regions, both of which experience wet and dry season cycles, and rarely dip below 10° C. Most areas can reach very high temperatures of 35° or higher in the summer/dry season.

Biodiversity

Nevira is mostly subtropical, with tropics in the north and islands. The country was originally forested, with tropical rainforest in the north and deciduous broadleaf forest in the south, although much of its territory is now dedicated to agriculture, mining, and lumber sectors, which has decreased biodiversity, with some species becoming natively extinct.

Nevira was the site of domestication for the pig, some varieties of millet, and the silkworm.
