Istan is a country in Ekuosia. It borders Norjihan to the southwest.

History

Istan was, from 1314 to 1605, part of the Grand Viceroyalty of Istan.

Before the Great Ekuosian War, it was an absolute monarchy known as the Kingdom of Istan. In 1948, while supporting the Veridia in the GEW, the kingdom collapsed into the Republic of Istan and the short-lived Republic of Istan. After Veridia's surrender, a Kúúlist puppet government was installed by the Helsonian Union, and Istan became a member of the Helsonian Bloc. In 1976, ideological differences with Helsonia and widespread unrest led to a series of coups in which first a Kuulist Junta came to power, and then they were in turn removed from power.

Culture

Istani culture until the 1950s had numerous foreign influences, but was mostly based on the culture of the ancient Adzamic and Baredan tribes indigenous to the region. Three major "waves" of influence changed the region's culture due to long periods of conquest by the Norjihanis, the Ekuostians, and the Nevirans. One of the lasting influences was the religion of each empire, which resulted in many Istanis following their own interpretation of Quurožarq, Iovism, and Gennism.

However, once the military junta came into power, their Cleansing policy resulted in the decimation of all religion in Istan. Some defectors have built small communities in other countries to keep their sects alive, but many have already died out. The result of the Cleansing left many traditions, religious and non-religious, destroyed in favor of a culture centered around self-sufficiency and isolation.
