'''Dhweran Territories''' are administrative divisions of [[Dhwer and Penkrot|Dhwer]], currently comprising five [[Continental Dhwer|Continental Territories]] and one Overseas Territory. Several other Overseas Territories have historically existed and are also included in this article.
==Continental Territories==
===North Hayldrep===

The North Hayldrep region is the homeland of the Indrup people, a Theweric group distantly related to the Dhwerans. In intimate contact with Dhweran groups since the days of the Ramekian Empire, North Hayldrep has always been part of the Dhwerosphere. Politically, it was not directly controlled by Dhwer until the [[Great Dhweran Empire]], becoming a central player in the decentralized Small Kings Period that succeeded the Empire. It was annexed by the [[Dhwer and Penkrot|UKDP]] fairly unproblematically in its big expansionist push of the 1870s and remains its most loyal territory. Apart from abolitionist movements which exist all throughout the UKDP, the main political issue of North Hayldrep has been its push for equal political status with Dhwer and Penkrot, that is, becoming a constituent nation rather a Territory.
Dhweran is the language of official channels of communication and is relatively common as a first language among the urbanized elites. For daily communication however, most of the population, especially further from urban centres, uses one of the many Indrupan languages.
===South Hayldrep===
{{Infobox country
|conventional_long_name = Territory of South Hayldrep
|native_name =        ''Þargbat Haylədurəp Gūnar''
|common_name =        South Hayldrep

}}
South Hayldrep is a less tightly integrated territory compared to North Hayldrep. While still clearly part of the Dhweran cultural sphere, their contact was less frequent and less intensive than it was further north and, especially, west. Only the westernmost portions of what is now South Hayldrep were ever part of the Great Dhweran Empire, with its eastern portions, particularly inland, being much more closely involved with the system of city states and polities that comprised medieval [[Taanttu]]. The boundaries between South Hayldrep and Taanttu start to become more marked during the [[Bavkir Empire]] but only fully solidify in the 1870s, after annexation by the [[Dhwer and Penkrot|UKDP]], when the UKDP and [[Vosan]] set borders between the South Hayldrep Territory and then Vosan occupied [[Kerezh]]. Religiously South Hayldrep has close ties to Kuthaltum; the Thentist sect that is nowadays mainly found in Kuthaltum has its historical roots in the South Hayldrep coast and Thentist worship is found in the region in a much higher frequency than any region of Dhwer apart from Kuthaltum. [[Devotionism]] is also sometimes encountered, a heritage from its prolonged contact with the Bavkir Empire, but devotionism steeply declined in the decades following the UKDP annexation.
The Dhweran language is rare in South Hayldrep, with Penkrotian being much more commonly employed as a lingua franca. In ordinary circumstances the populace uses primarily Taanttic (Upper-Borosan) languages with some Indrupan varieties to the northwest.
===Siakua===
{{Infobox country
|conventional_long_name = Territory of Siakua Islands
|native_name =        ''Syakwə Gūnar''
|common_name =        Siakua
|image_flag =        Siakua flag.png
}}
The Siakua islands were not part of the dhwerosphere until they were conquered by Indrupan polities in the late 1300s in the first wave of Dhweran naval expansion in the Small Kings Period. They are natively inhabited by linguistically Bavkir peoples that, however, were never part of the [[Bavkir Empire]] and do not partake of the sense of a shared Bavkir identity that extends over to parts of Taanttu, [[Mwamba]] and even [[Qazania]]. The Siakuans have a rich history as sailors and traders independent of Dhwer with two major periods, one between the late 900s and the Indrupan conquest in the 1300s and one with the Haraku dynasty between the late 1400s and ~1650, both predicated on being a nexus of trade between [[Akulanen]] and northern [[Boroso]], going as far as conquering land in southern [[Magali]] and !Aayke during the Haraku dynasty. Siakuan elites took well to Dhweran culture and religion, especially from the 1600s forward, joining the UKDP voluntarily out after the annexation of North Hayldrep to seek protection from [[Vos|Vosan]] colonial interests in the region. Devotionism is still found there even though the elites practice Kuyanism. Dhweran is used only for official government bureaucracy, with the population speaking the native Bavkir varieties.
===Thewer===
{{Infobox country
|conventional_long_name = Territory of Thewer
|native_name =        ''Þəwr Gūnar''
|common_name =        Thewer
|image_flag =        Flag_of_Thewer_Dhwer.png
}}
The Thewer region is the ancestral homeland of the Dhweran People; The proto-Theweric urheimat is usually reconstructed to be in its general area and it contains many of the holy sites of [[Kuyanism]]. Historically, the Theweric groups were driven out of it by the Upper-Borosan Expansion in the first millenium BCE but it remained an important pilgrimage site and common reconquista target. While always maintaining cultural, religious and economic ties with the core Dhweran region, the Thewer area was only intermittently politically controlled by Dhwer, the main exception being the [[Great Dhweran Empire]], that reclaimed Thewer in 522 and managed to hold on to it for over 600 years until the late twelfth century. An integral part of any large Dhweran polity's claims of legitimacy, the Thewer region is claimed by the [[Dhwer and Penkrot|UKDP]] even though it is ''de facto'' ruled by Lhavres as the state of Thewer. Military and para-military [[Modern North Boroso Border Conflicts#Thewer Basin Conflicts|conflict in the region]] was common in the late 1800s and early 1900s but actual confrontations have been very infrequent since the 1940s.
The population of the region is primarily Upper-Borosan with Baamekian groups mixed with Penkrotian groups from the various waves of Dhweran aggression along with a more recent stratum of Setyal peoples from the [[Setyal Empire]] period and the modern [[Lhavres]] administration. Dhweran language use is nowadays infrequent and it is not taught in school in Lhavres controlled areas.
===Kuthaltum===
{{Infobox country
|conventional_long_name = Territory of Kuthaltum
|native_name =        ''Kþaltəm Gūnar''
|common_name =        Kuthaltum
|image_flag =        KLA Flag.png
}}
Right next door to Thewer, Kuthaltum has always been tightly engrossed in Kuyathic religion, they were not however, ever part of the [[Great Dhweran Empire]] or particularly involved with the Dhweran cultural sphere. The currently hypermajoritary Thentist sect distanced itself from the Dhwer-based Kuyanist orthodoxy through the GDE and Small Kings Period, culminating in the esoteric and messianic strands that are currently hegemonic in Kuthaltum. Annexed doing the mineration rush the region experienced in the 1880s, the Kuthaltum area was always difficult to control for the [[Dhwer and Penkrot|UKDP]] due to its rough terrain and tenuous infrastructure links which were primarily oriented towards Lhavres-controlled Thewer. This intensified however with the rise of modern Abolitionist political movements, particularly strong in Kuthaltum as it historically represented one of the routes for escaped slaves from the dhwerosphere and had only weak links to the cultural underpinings of slavery, culminating in the founding of the Kuthaltum Liberation Army (KLA) in the 1930s. Formed from an eclectic group of anti-UKDP dissidents ranging from abolitionists to fundamentalist Thentists to, later, hardline anti-kuulists, the KLA is now the ''de facto'' government of Kuthaltum, maintaining a consistent guerilla campaign against the UKDP since the 1950s which prevents the access of Dhweran government bureaucracy to the region. the KLA fights to end slavery in Dhwer and to attain international recognition a sovereign state.
Dhweran is virtually never used, instead a few different upper-borosan vernaculars, Azen, some north fals and west yaa languages are spoken in the area.
==Overseas Territories==
===Thyakw Islands===
{{Infobox country
|conventional_long_name = Dhweran Overseas Thyakw Islands Territory
|common_name =        Thyakw Islands
|status =            <!--Status of country, especially useful for micronations-->
|image_flag =        Thyakw flag.png
}}
Dhweran polities reached the Thyakw Islands islands in the 14th century, during the height of Dhweran naval power in the Small Kings Period. There is evidence of contact with [[Qonklaks]], the [[Draconic Islands|Draconics]] and [[Akulanen]] since pre-history but the islands have never been of strategic importance to any particular polity. Dhweran presence in the region was the most intensive in the 15th and 16th centuries with the establishment of continuous trade posts with another uptick in the lead-up to and during the [[Quonco-Dhweran War]] in the eighteenth century. Dhweran claims on the region were not mentioned on the peace treaties after their defeat in the aforementioned Quonco-Dhweran War. It is unclear whether that was a Qonklese concession or if the islands were just deemed that insignificant.
Dhweran cultural and linguistic presence in the islands in the present day is minimal, with the vast majority of the population speaking one of the native [[Thyakwo-Magalese languages]], notably [[Bebiro language|Bebiro]] but also many others such as Bwenhe. As the last ultramarine possession of Dhwer's, it reasonably often comes under international scrutiny, especially from [[Lhavres]] and [[Magali]] and thus it is unlikely that UKDP presence in the archipelago will increase in the near future.

===Angnyaiq/West Mbamigi===
The [[Mbamigi Archipelago]] was conquered by the Great Dhweran Empire in the twelfth century, at around its maximal expanse, but the GDE would fracture soon after in 1215. In the following centuries Mbamigi enjoyed a fairly central role in Dhweran affairs as one of the seats of power of the [[Triple Kingdom of Dhwer, Penkrot and Baamek]]. Mbamigi, by its Dhweran name of ''Baamek'', enjoyed a great deal of autonomy and was a large contributor to the Dhweran navy during its heyday in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. By the time of the [[Quonco-Dhweran War]] in the late 18th century it was de facto independent and was not even mentioned in the peace negotiations. This autonomy and independence allowed Mbamigi to retain a culture very distinct from the rest of the Dhweran cultural sphere, particularly religiously, with Kuyathic religions never gaining a major foothold in Mbamigi. Due to these differences, when Dhwer became a centralized state during the [[Setyal Empire|Setyal Wars]] in the mid 19th century this sudden, militarilly imposed, loss of autonomy was not well received by any segments of Mbamigi society which immediately started mobilizing resistance efforts. These resistance efforts would come to fruition when the non-violent Mbamigi Resistance Movement gained international support in 1919, and Mbamigi independence was recognized by Queen Weyelb-Dhank IV in 1922.

The Mbamigi Archipelago was conquered by the Great Dhweran Empire in the twelfth century, at around its maximal expanse, but the GDE would fracture soon after in 1215. In the following centuries Mbamigi enjoyed a fairly central role in Dhweran affairs as one of the seats of power of the Triple Kingdom of Dhwer, Penkrot and Baamek. Mbamigi, by its Dhweran name of Baamek, enjoyed a great deal of autonomy and was a large contributor to the Dhweran navy during its heyday in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. By the time of the Quonco-Dhweran War in the late 18th century it was de facto independent and was not even mentioned in the peace negotiations. This autonomy and independence allowed Mbamigi to retain a culture very distinct from the rest of the Dhweran cultural sphere, particularly religiously, with Kuyathic religions never gaining a major foothold in Mbamigi. Due to these differences, when Dhwer became a centralized state during the Setyal Wars in the mid 19th century this sudden, militarilly imposed, loss of autonomy was not well received by any segments of Mbamigi society which immediately started mobilizing resistance efforts. These resistance efforts would come to fruition when the non-violent Mbamigi Resistance Movement gained international support in 1919, and Mbamigi independence was recognized by Queen Weyelb-Dhank IV in 1922.
