Balakia (IPA: /bɑˈlɑː.ki.ə/; Balak: Balaaçik tr. Baláçik, IPA: /bɑˈla.t͡ʃɪk/), officially the Federal Republic of Balakia, is a country in the Vaniuan region in South Miraria bordered by Komania to the west, and Amaia and Khambvan to the east. It is the homeland of the Balak people, a Vaniuan ethnic group, among other groups. According to the 2016 census the total population is 57,258,126. Balakia was an observer state of the Soltennan Council.
In 1952, following the installation of a Kúúlist puppet government under the Helsonian Union, the Union of Shomosvan was established.
Following Gushli independence and the collapse of Shomosvan in 2001, the new provisional government of Balakia began acting on a policy of "Dekúúlification" which saw the beginning of a slow process privatisation under the influence of Shohuan. This process was temporarily halted after the outbreak of the Balak-Gushli War in 2002, which resulted in a stalemate in 2004. Following this ceasefire, the process of Dekúúlification was properly resumed.
The capital of Balakia, Sácar, is a major economic hub in Eastern Vaniua, and is the largest city in Balakia with a population of just over 11 million. Balakia is classed as a developed country, and benefits from a nominal GDP of around $876.7 billion and a GDP per capita of $15,312.
Etymology
The word Balakia comes from the ethnonym for the Balak people, Balák, itself being derived from the name of Baláhak. The unofficial native name for the country, Baláçik, has a similar etymology, descending from Old Balak Baláhak-kik "river of Baláhak." This name is only used to refer to the country in external affairs; internally the name refers to the state of Baláçik. The country's official internal name, Yelşem, originates from a Koman poetic name for the region, Qershem ("land of the Yerec"), in reference to the Balak mythological creature.

Great Horde
... During the Sunset Rebellion, most Balak nobles rose up against the ruling X dynasty; the only two noble families not to partake in this event were the Sehárens and the Zókamás. The revolutionaries were quickly crushed by the Great Horde's army, and were replaced with loyal Khamv nobles in the aftermath of the conflict.
Balak and Khamv Kingdoms
Aside from the Zókamá and Seháren dynasties, who ruled over the kingdoms of Zonduş and X respectively, many of the kingdoms now a part of Balakia were under the rule of Khamv dynasties, and
Balak-Khamv War
By 1864 Kamát II of Zonduş had united the majority of the western Balak kingdoms under one crown; his only remaining opposition consisted of the Khamv-dominated kingdoms to the east.
... On November 10th 1866 Kamát proclaimed the founding of a united Balaki Empire. Following this he was awarded the title Balákpáşe, meaning "father of the Balaks," a title which he is still referred to as today.
