Oyazan (Fama: Oyazane Yereşet [ojaˈzɑ̌ːne jereˈʃěːt] Badovi: Oyazán Yereşdv [ɔjɐzaːˈn jərəʃd͡v]), officially the Third Republic of Oyazan, is a country located in northern Vaniua. It borders Khezan to the south, Fukota to the east and Faichan to the north.
Oyazan lies within the Vaniuan urheimat. The nation gained independence from Khezan and TBDMASICPLACE in the late 1800s, after which the country underwent three waves of warfare and civil unrest in the 1920s, 1960s and early 2000s.
Oyazan is a moderately developed nation, and its economy relies on agriculture, mining, steel production and the production of electronics.

Etymology

The name "Oyazan" comes from Maychen Oya, "plenty" and the suffix -zan, "land". Yereşet derives from Nashaghan êrêshet, "republic". The long vowels in Nashaghan were mistaken for Vosan's yotified vowels, hence the presence of y-.

Geography

Oyazan sits in between the Rolovian mountain range and the Lake Melkanchuta.

Climate

The climate of the country is generally cool due to its latitude and elevation. The northern plateau is colder and more humid, with an average elevation of 2400 meters. The south of the country is drier and slightly warmer, and the coastal Famazan region experiences warm, dry summers with snowy winters.

Biodiversity

The country is home to wide variety of wildlife, including the miniature field wolf and spalax.

Politics

Foreign relations

Oyazan maintains generally good relations with all of its neighbors.

Military

The Oyazi Military is modeled after that of Khezan and Faichan, and is divided into four branches: the army, navy, air force and urban combat force.

Economy

Exports

Oyazan mostly exports metals, food, opioid medicines, electronics and terrible pyschedelic post-punk experimental folk metal concept albums.

Transport

An extensive network of trains and highways goes through the country and connects it to its neighbors, as well as to the MARG via the North Vaniuan line through Periyağ. In newly built-up areas of cities, cars and trains are used the most, but in the narrow, winding streets of the medieval era, bicycles are a necessity.

Energy

Oyazan primarily relies on coal for electrical power, but green energy is being increasingly implemented. Nuclear power is currently being explored as an alternate energy source.

Science and technology

Oyazan exports lots of electronics, including cameras, televisions, computers and game consoles.

Tourism

The nation is growing in popularity as a tourist destination. Periyağ's street food and annual art fair draw thousands of people every year, and the Rolovian mountains offer challenging climbs.

Demographics

Ethnic groups

Jiuzemic, Dasic and Masic peoples inhabit the country. The Bashans and the Badovi are the two largest groups, followed by the Sirbíans, Vorozis, Famait, Khezians, Foeians and Lyoshulmians.

Urbanisation

Periyağ

The capital and largest city in the country is Periyağ, with a population of 1.1 million people, and makes up its own first-level subdivision.

Sehadidån

Sehadidån is the third-largest city in the nation at around 370,000. It is located in the Bashadhan region and is the only federal city in the country.

Anerbañá

Anerbañá is the is the 6th-largest city, at 220,000, and also one of the most recent. It is known for being the industrial heart of Oyazan, home to the Blue Star Steelworks (Badovi: Dalüdű Üdniraḷzoanbarded), along with many chemical refineries and coal power plants. It is known for its bleakness, pollution and, surprisingly, a great culinary scene (AŞ is known for the quality of its food, a way of keeping workers motivated through the bleakness). Until recently, it was almost entirely built and owned by the mining company Anerbañá Şüdn (Anerbañá Earth Resources), who ruled the city as a private fiefdom and supplied up to 5% of Oyazan's GDP until the TBA Revolution. Ever since AŞ went bankrupt in TBA, their hold on the city has been slowly slipping, and urban renewal and pollution reduction programs, although stymied by Oyazan's endemic corruption, have managed to make some progress. Along with brutalist architecture, it is also known for being the home of the Oyazi punk scene, born out of resentment for AŞ's control and the blind eye the government turned to it. The 2006 post-punk album Şüñraḷ Üdniraḷzoan (Bloody Steel) by the band Boñ Faző (Silent Steppe) was especially notable for its extremely harsh criticism of AŞ, and did much to turn public opinion against the company, especially when AŞ sued the band for defamation and had their case thrown out.

Language

Oyazan is noted for its extreme linguistic diversity relative to its population- its linguistic diversity index is 0.789, that typical of a much larger tropical nation. The most spoken language and lingua franca of the country is Badovi. The second-most spoken language is [[Bashan language|Bashan], followed by the regional language Sirbían. Khezian, Foeian, Lyoshulmian and the critically endangered Fama-Maychen are spoken by small minorities throughout the country and have no official status.

Education

Education mainly consists of public schooling, although private schools- most of them Tubakhist Zarasaist schools- are present, albeit somewhat uncommon.

Healthcare

Healthcare is publicized and paid for by funding from the Oyazi Government. The nation's healthcare system has been widely criticized for its inefficiency and lack of development. As with education, private clinics are present, but uncommon.

Religion

Zarasaism

Zarasaism is the nation's largest religion, with nearly 88% of Oyazi citizens as Sayans. Tubakhism is the largest sect, with about 67% of Oyazi Zarasaists, followed by Qasamism with about 28%. Eastern Zarasaist sects make up about 4% of the Zarasaist population, with other branches of the religion making up the remaining 1%.

Minority Religions

Minority religions comprise about 3% of the nation's population. Most followers of other religions follow Maychen Paganism, though some immigrants follow their native religions.

Culture

Heritage

Oyazan has a rich cultural heritage, and individuals often trace their lineages back to one of the original X Tribes.

Architecture

Oyazi architecture is unique in its blend of native Jiuzemic, Khezian, Eastern Vaniuan and Masic styles. The Gharams of the country are constructed in a style more reminiscent of Komanian Shawadiist post-classical architecture.

Literature

Writing in Oyazan was a relatively uncommon practice until relatively recently. The first internationally distributed book, Fables of the Steppe: A Study of Maychen and Bashan Folk Religion was published by Bashan-Khezian writer and cultural anthropologist TBD in YEAR. What could be recovered of Five Hundred Beef Stews, a Maychen cookbook dating from the 1740s has recently been translated and distributed throughout the country; although only 371 recipes remain, the other 129 missing from the manuscript.

Art

Oyazi artwork includes the Equestrian Statue of Tubakh in Periyağ.

Music

Folk music includes the use of microtones and quarter steps. Native instruments include the çifteli and alboka.

Theatre

Oyazi martial theatre combines storytelling and theatrical versions of Meichulafuo to entertain audiences. Fights are extensively choreographed and often feature unusual weapons and techniques designed to be impressive and entertaining rather than practically effective.

Film

Most films in Oyazan are internationally produced- mostly in Vosan and Khezan- though some domestic movies and television shows have been produced.

Tariyetem

Tariyetem (lit. "Lake Monster") was a Famait B-movie released in 1988, centered around a monster inhabiting Lake Melkanchuta, known for its extremely low budget. It was exceedingly poorly received, but gained a cult following. It was also notable for being released in the critically endangered Fama-Maychen language (with very poorly translated Badovi subtitles), and it has been credited with helping the slow revival of the language in recent decades.

Cuisine

The cuisine of Oyazan is famous for its hearty, rich meat dishes. Morér (meat dumplings cooked in mare's milk, often served with a sauce) is often considered the national dish of the country. Flatbreads, shawarma, soft cheeses, and churchkela are commonly eaten as well.
