Norjihan (IPA: /nɔɹjihan/, Native language: Nõrjehanø, IPA: /nœɹjihanø/), officially the Serene Tribal Federation of Norjihan, is a country located in Southern Baredina, with Xhodiar to the north, Sjuu Tvazingal to the east (although there is wasteland between the two countries) and the Armaziyya Sea to the west. The area that is now Norjihan, until the 1500s, was split into many warring tribal kingdoms, just like in Xhodiar, and there was no one single administration. However, the Lordinal tribe, headed by Huma Lordinal, founded the Kingdom of Haené in 1564 after a series of conquests that made them one of the biggest tribal kingdoms. However the Kingdom was short lived, with Haené being sacked in 1632 and Huma's son, Nyma, being killed by being pulled apart by horses. However, the Kingdom rebuilt itself, with the new ruler Heri Lordinal ordering and executing the subjugation of all the tribes, salting fields so they couldn't grow crops and burning down every town and village they could find, almost on genocide levels - nearly 700,000 people are believed to have been by either the Lordinal forces or the famines that followed. Then, the Kingdom controlled all of the modern federation until 1721, when King Rebrina II died, leaving his two sons to fight for the throne. Normally, the tribes would have backed one candidate and the other would have stood down, but the tribes were split between Prince Bares and Prince Marmen. After the war ended, with Marmen winning, things calmed down until the signing of the Writ of Kings, caused by another crisis of succession - King Juren IV had no heir. It was agreed that the Monarchy would become Elective, and that the ruler would be chosen by representatives of each tribe at the Council; each would have 20 representatives except the Lordinals, who had 22. The state began to be centralised and modelled itself on the North Baredinan and Sharkunen countries, but after riots the Federation was formed; the Councils, one to represent the people and one to represent the tribes, were formed and the country split into the 12 main tribal regions, each of which were given there own extensive powers. Although the country is called a Tribal Federation, this is only because the Federal Regions are the homes of the 12 major tribes and are controlled by these tribes - there is no elected office in these areas, except the tribal chief. The current king is Rakrenyo IV of the Hurend tribe, the Prime Minister (Leader of the Council of the People) is Jola Boren and the Prince Elect (head of the Council of the Tribes and successor to the throne) is Vuren Lordinal.
The country has been affected by its traditional mythology greatly, from the philosophy of Good, Evil and Eternity (the three major parts of common Norjihani philosophical thought) to the traditional hymn (Damettlalat Kalkaturø - The Hymn of Kalkaktur), and nearly 90% of the population count themselves as Gennists (Gennism is the national religion of Norjihan, based on the original mythology), and 56% attend church every week. It has even influenced its foreign policy, with the country being decidedly neutral in all affairs; this, however, is also because the Norjihanis are typically xenophobic and despise people outside of Norjihan except those from countries in South Baredina. Norjihan does not accept the existence of the Fals Empire, saying that there is no state in existence in that territory. Because of its stance in foreign policy, the country has remained mostly unknown, although recently it has reached out to the international community through sport; the country fell out of the group stage of the SIFA World Cup however, causing great anger among the Normand population. In all other respects, Norjihan is like most other modern countries.
