Komania ( Koman: . Qālqāra .; Qālxāra ['xɒlxɒrä]) also known as Khalharia, officially the Great Nation of Komania ( Koman: . Mowat Qāza-sē Qālqāra . Mowat Qāza-sē Qālxāra) is a sovereign state in Vaniua. With about 42 million inhabitants, Komania is the ?-most populous country. Comprising an area of 814.130 km² making it the ? largest country in Vaniua and the ? in Sahar. Komania is bordered to the north by the Melkanchuta lake, to the northeast by ? and Kaatkukia, to the east by Balakia, to the south by the Khanate of Gushlia and Nekhilia, to the southwest by Ohania and finally Xonqorot and Shohuan to the west, Komania is considered to be the country with most sheared borders in Vaniua followed by Balakia and Shohuan. The country's location in central Vaniua bordering the Melkanchuta lake along the flowing rivers of ? and Kashis give it a geostrategic importance. Shanvan is the country's capital and one of the largest economic centres of the nation only behind Samadar.

Etymology

The country is natively known as , Qālxāra; IPA: /xɒlxɒrä/; having the suffix -a meaning "place of" or "land of" being a variant of the suffix -dān leaving the root word as Qālxār, which is attested to have evolved from the tribal name Kalkali found written in several steles throughout the Golden steppes of Vaniua. According to the Boshom inscriptions found near the village of Şüğdar in the Bāşām province, the name is of tribal origin designating the Kalkali Empire and its people, having possible roots with their forefathers the nomadic Kali who roamed the Golden steppes c.100 and could have once inhabited the westernmost regions of the Miralaya. The exact meaning of the ethnonym Qālxār is unknown, however, several theories point to a possible derivation from Kali probably meaning of the Kali or from the Kali having an attested pre-Vaniuan origin.

Modern Komans make use of varied alternative names to designate their land, most of them being poetic in nature, "Şērdēğēn" "Land of black sands" being the most common term with Qārxāra and Qārāxār as variants from different dialects.

Komans traditionally use the tribal name "Qāman" meaning "of the ten" or "of the coast" to refer to themselves, with roots from the tribes of "Qām" who migrated from the Kalkali empire and established a short-lived tribal confederation around the coasts of Melkanchuta before being subjugated by the Great Horde.

History

Prehistory

The earliest evidence of human activity in the region has been dated back to around 100,000 BC and 90,000 BC during the Micoquien palaeolithic era with the discovery of archaeological artefacts throughout several regions of Komania, at that time, it is attested that the Melkanchuta lake formed a vast body of water which might have comprised the lower areas of the Vaniuan basin and most of its northern areas. The relatively dry but yet greenier area of the plateau served as an excellent refuge for early human settlements. The first settlements formed the base for the rise of early pre-Vaniuan peoples who established the first city-states in the region. According to archaeological evidence, pre-Vaniuan civilisations developed an economy strongly based on agriculture and lived in large settlements, with a compact and largely sedentary population. The formerly green valleys of Vaniu served as a critical factor for the growth and development of these city-states and the expansion of agriculture as the main economic activity in the region during this period.

Notable influences in religion, architecture and linguistics can be seen in modern Vaniuan populations, whose legacy has mostly been analysed through architectural and linguistic evidence. It is known that pre-Vaniuans formed settlements with populations that could overpass 500,000 inhabitants as seen in the city of Samadar which according to archaeologists once had a population of around 300,000 inhabitants. Pre-Vaniuan populations can be divided into three groups: northern pre-Vaniuans who inhabited the foots of the Miralaya, western pre-Vaniuans from the green valleys of modern Shohuan and neighbouring populations and southern pre-Vaniuans who mainly inhabited the Vaniuan plateau.
