The term ''kauza'' dates back to the first Kauzic settlements in the [[Ekuos Delta]], which they originally referred to as ''kauza''s. Over time, this became used as the Kauzic demonym. In modern Kauzia, the [[Ythnandosian language|Ythnandosian]] term ''kauzapöẓ'' and its cognates in related languages have come to denote someone of any of many ethnic groups in Kauzia, as opposed to an ethnic Kauzic, although its original meaning remains as well. | |||
The origin of the term ''kauza'' is obscure, with one theory linking it to the [[Proto-Ydtobogan language|Ydtobogan]] word ''*hāgorda'' "safety, shelter" (cf. [[Kauzasian language|Kauzasian]] ''ɣuda'' "safety"), but most of these theories have been deemed invalid. | |||

Kauzia (Ythnandosian: kauzafui, IPA: /ku'za.βi/; Vadosian: kázapui, IPA: /kæ'za.pwi/), officially the Republic of Kauzia, is a country located in east Baredina. Kauzia is and has been a major regional power, having the largest economy in Baredina and having previously conquered many Ekuosian countries during the reign of the Kauzic Empire.
Etymology
The term kauza dates back to the first Kauzic settlements in the Ekuos Delta, which they originally referred to as kauzas. Over time, this became used as the Kauzic demonym. In modern Kauzia, the Ythnandosian term kauzapöẓ and its cognates in related languages have come to denote someone of any of many ethnic groups in Kauzia, as opposed to an ethnic Kauzic, although its original meaning remains as well.
The origin of the term kauza is obscure, with one theory linking it to the Ydtobogan word *hāgorda "safety, shelter" (cf. Kauzasian ɣuda "safety"), but most of these theories have been deemed invalid.
History
Early History
The Kauzics first originated in what is now Izovangia, as part of the Ydtobogan societies along the Ekuos River. During the Ydtobogan Migration, the ancestors of the Kauzics migrated east along the Ekuos River over a thousand years until they reached the Ekuos Delta around 2000 BCE. Over the next thousand years, they established dominance over the various other peoples in the region, but mostly remained in the Zindo region as they had not yet unified.
Ďinaunne
By 1110 BCE, the Kauzics had unified and developed their own distinct culture. Towns had begun to develop across Zindo, especially on the coast and along the many rivers in the area. In 1102 BCE, the first Kauzic emperor, Jaem, took control of the Kauzic people and declared that all of Zindo was her dominion, naming the dominion Ďinaunne. The dominion would later undergo rapid growth and a scientific revolution over the next several hundred years.
However, the most well-known ancient emperor (argued by many to have been the best) in modern Kauzia was Garefky. Garefky came into power in 897 BCE, after which Ďinaunne entered a period of great prosperity. From 895 BCE to 876 BCE, the Kauzics began to invade the north and the east, conquering many other tribes and establishing dominance over most of modern-day Kauzia. During this period, Garefky oversaw the construction of Iru, which would become the capital of Ďinaunne, the Kauzic Empire, and modern-day Kauzia. After the conquests, Garefky sought something to help unify the many peoples in the now multiethnic dominion.
At about the same time, the prophet Keim began to spread the ideas and philosophies of Mijism to the people of Ďinaunne. According to legend, Keim was watching a sunset when the Sun and Moon spoke to her, commanding her to travel the dominion, teaching people that the Sun and Moon were the creators of the universe. As their children, humanity was required to follow their laws and pay respects to the celestial bodies, who keep the world alive and control nature. Enlightened, Keim left her village in Zindo to teach the Kauzics (and the other ethnic groups under their control) the Mijist philosophies and traditions. Some people fiercely resisted Mijism, going so far as to attempt to kill any missionaries that tried to convert them form their traditional beliefs. Even the Kauzics, whose culture was a major influence in Mijism, openly rejected Mijism and regarded Keim as a lunatic.
In 869 BCE, Keim traveled to Iru at the end of her journey, believing that if the capital could convert, the rest of the dominion would follow. In front of the imperial palace, Keim propagated the ideas of Mijism once more, but few people stayed to listen. Stepping out of the palace, Garefky stopped and listened to Keim. On that day, he felt enlightened, and began adamantly supporting her. Known as the Day of Enlightenment, this became the first day in the Mijist calendar, which would be developed soon after. With the support of Garefky, Keim's teachings became much more accepted by the many peoples of Ďinaunne. In 865 BCE Keim became the leader of the Mijist ḍemna (known as the mijil), leading to the development of many individual ḍemnas (places of worship, from Kauzasian for house) across the dominion. As prophet, Keim gained some power over the people of Ďinaunne.
This dualist rule of the political leader (emperor) and the spiritual leader (prophet) became the basis for rule in Ďinaunne. When the emperor died, the prophet chose the next emperor, and vice versa. The emperor was head of the government, but the prophet was head of the traditions. This ensured that both people would have an equal amount of power to keep the balance. Although this would later change drastically as time passed, remnants of the old system are still evident in Kauzia today.
Kauzic Empire
The Kauzic Empire conquered much of Baredina, but soon lost its new territory to rebellions by various native groups.
