Siyezan (Damserz: S-yerešet Síyezan [sje re.ˈʃet siː.je.ˈzɐn]), officially the Republic of Siyezan, is a country located in Vaniua, bordered by Vosan in the north, (nothing) in the east and the Parshita Sea in the south, and is the homeland of the Cirnic people. The country's capital city is Çinévin, which is not the biggest city. That title instead goes to Çinabyan, historically a major port and an entrance to the Juqaşat river, an entrance into deeper Vaniua, as well as an oasis where farming was easy. As a result, most of the population historically and nowadays is concentrated near Çinabyan and the Juqaşat river. The country has a total population of 31 million, which makes it one of the least populated Vaniuan countries. Settled by Bodni-Cirnic tribes sometime around 300 BC, the first mentions of the area appear in ancient Ohanian inscriptions, which refer to the people of the area as 'čirra(g̃) kaluba', or "the people by the dark", given their location beyond the mountains which made up the southern edge of the Ohanian world. It's location near Parshita in the (something) strait has contributed to the area's conquest by Ekuosian empires twic, the first being settlement by the Letsatian Empire in (sometime), from which the area would end up breaking free under (some dude), which would embrace the legacy Letsatians had left. After centuries of being relatively unharmed by foreign occupation, the Terminian empire invaded the area in 1397, to the horrour of the Vaniuan Zarasaist powers of the Great Horde and the Vosan, which put together a crusade known as the Yeshub, successfully defeating the Terminians in 1402, splitting the area between the two, although the area would end up coming under complete Avicisid rule by the late 1500s. It would not be until 1790 when, inspired by the newly formed Vanoshan state, the Siyezi people would start an effort for independence, beginning the First War of Independence against the Bafeid Dynasty|, culminating in victory in 1800 after the republican takeover in Vosan. This independence was short lived, as in 1823 Bavi Rusvayes of the Bavid Dynasty restored Vos control over the area, turning it into a puppet state. This would remain the state of affairs until 1917, when yet again, another independence war was launched with Balak support. The country came up from the war in 1921 as an unstable region, destroyed by the 4 years of war. While de jure a constitutional monarchy, in actuality king (name) often violated the constitution, running the nation under his authoritarian regime in order to prevent a Balko-Kuulist takeover, as had happened in Balakia recently. After his death in 1939, the ascent of his son (name) was plagued with controversy, and resentment against the authoritarian government of the country began to shown, resulting in a democratic revolution and a subsequent civil war. The republicans emerged victorious, but were unable to handle the social tensions and the economic problems, resulting in an authoritarian Balkist, Yavizín Racba, gaining presidency in 1949. His successor, Aşir Virnaba, who ruled from 1953 to 1984 took a more pragmatic approach, siding with the Gulf of Sharkunen nations during the Cold War. The authoritarian republic would fall in the 2003 Sohamist revolution, being the last autocratic regime in Vaniua to collapse. Historically the country has been an important trade centre, benefiting from its location in the centre of the Prime Corridor. This allowed the country's economy to prosper off of trade, both historically and in the modern day, albeit it still posseses one of the lowest GDPs in Vaniua. Also due to trade, local culture has taken various influences, most notably from Ekuosia, with an Iovist minority present in the country.
Etymology
The name Síyezan comes from Damserz Síye "people" plus -zan, borrowed from Koman, meaning "land of"
History
Pre-Vaniuans
Cirnic people migrated into Siyezan from 100 BCE onwards, becoming dominant around 200 CE, with every pre-Vaniuan group being wiped out, all which survives from them being substrate words, as well as some folk stories and some scattered inscriptions using a derivative of the Ohanian script.
Urijoceis Dynasty
After Qasam's death in 592, Siyezan was handed out to his grandson Urijoceis, whose descendants would rule it until the late 1300s.
Terminian invasion
In 1397, the Terminian empire invaded Urijoceis Siyezan. As they struggled to mantain control, they called their Zarasaist allies, the Avicisids up north, to help them in this holy war against the Pashaist infielfs, and this war became known in Siyezan as the Dastaryeşúbo "the Blessed Expulsion". However, this backfired, after in X, an Avicisid army accidentally engaged and destroyed the main Urijoceis army, killing the king and ending the dynasty there. Eventually, the Terminians were defeated with help from the Great Horse and Siyezan was partitioned between them and the Avicisids, who would then take control of all of the country during the collapse of the Great Horde.
First war of independence
After many failed isolated uprisings, all of the Siyezi independence movements joined together to launch an uprising during the 1790s. It was way more successful than any of the previous ones, and despite not being able to hold main cities for long, extended guerilla warfare eventually had a huge toll on the Vos economy, and after a republican uprising, the war was ended and Siyezan became an independent monarchy in 1801.
Second War of Independence
In 1824, the Vos monarchy was restored, and one of their first moves was to vassalise Siyezan, who had no choice other than to accept as they did not have the power to stand up to Vosan, although resistance movements rose up against this, although it was futile.
In 1919, after securing Balak support, Siyezan declared independence again, starting the Second War of Independence which would last 6 years and would end in a Siyezi victory.

Government
Since the 2003 constitution, Siyezan is a semi-presidential republic, with a free multiparty democracy. Legislative power is vested in the National Council (Ğáçtaba Váraşo), the 400-seat supreme legislative body, elected to 4-year terms via universal suffrage of all adult citizens, both within the country and abroad. The head of the executive is the Prime Minister (Betketis ce-Hadjara), or BH, and his cabinet (biçesíbi), appointed by the President. Siyezan uses a premier-president system, meaning the prime minister is responsible to both the legislature and the president. The President (Betketis ce-Yereşet), or BY, is the supreme head of the army and generally takes care of foreign affairs, but can also appoint and dismiss premiers. They are elected for 6 year terms by popular vote. The current holder is Anoşu Zildamán, who has been in office since 2006.
Administrative divisions
Siyezan, as of 2021, is comprised of 60 nedoşrab (no separate plural form), the first subdivision tier, each of them named after their administrative capital. They are further subdivided into (probably like 200) municipalities. Each province belongs to one of 7 Vistuğer Nedoşrabşo (VN), or coordinated province groups. These are not true administrative divisions, but rather just geographical groupings used for statistical matters.
Local government in the provinces is rather lacking, due to the highly centralised nature of the country. Every province is led by a politically-neutral nedoşrab ce-sirivta, or governor, appointed ceremonially by the president on the recommendation of other government bodies. These governors act as representatives of the central government and have little room to act on their own. In general, they do not have any form of council in their government, the exception being the 23 provinces with more than 600,000 inhabitants, which get their own provincial assembly by law. They are not directly elected, but rather, composed of one fourth of every chancellor of every settlement inside said province.
Foreign relations
Siyezan has maintained close ties with Vosan, being part of the Tameyvah Treaty and the Sharkunen Treaty during the Cold War.
Military
Economy
Most of the economy consists of the service sector.
Transport
Both roads and railroads are owned by state-owned companies, known as Ğáctaba Ajadiseta (National Directorates). Both regular and high-speed rail exist, with ĞUA offering a high-speed (Síyeba Dúna Qunta) route from Çinevin to Çinabyan.

Language
The only official language of Siyezan is standard Damserz. The language forms a big dialect continuum across the country, with the standard being taken from the Çinabyan area. It is often not mutually intelligible with local dialects.
Education
Most education is state-owned via the Lenyaba Bovéta Imádo (Public Education Service), which offers free and universal schooling, coexisting with private providers as well. Religious education is exclusively private.
Healthcare
Similarly, the state-owned Lenyaba Zleta Imádo (Public Health Service) covers most healthcare issues (barring some non-essential procedures). Alternative private facilities are also found.
Religion
A majority, around 79% of the populations, consider themselves Zarasaist, specifically of the Qasamist denomination (around 75%). A sizeable minority of around 13% consider themselves Iovist, a relic of the Letsatian era.
