Ekuostia (Ekuostian: [undefined] error: {{lang}}: no text (help) ekuostolsaòt Ekuostolsát, "Ekuost land", IPA: /ekwʌt̪ʌls̪ɑ:d̪/) is one of the three archlordships (or states) of Barradiwa, located chiefly in the country's western half. With a population nearing 77.8 million people, Ekuostia is the second most populous of the three Barradiwan archlordships. Its seat of government is based in Rydkes, although the region also contains Barradiwa's national capital and overall largest city, Terydnunekuos.
Ekuostia, particularly regions concentrated around Lake Khuda and the Khuda and Ekuos rivers, is one of the oldest continually inhabited regions in the world, and part of it was part of the Ekuos-Khuda confluence cradle of civilization; historians even refer to the area around Terydnunekuos in ancient times as "South Halaria". As the name suggests, the region is also the primary region in which the Ekuostian language is spoken widely.
