Ghur Republic

The Ghur Republic (Ghur: Ghur Lhaghazaniz) is a nation-state in southeastern Meridion. It limits to the North with the Kingdom of Tadhir and the Talih State, to the East with the Vahay Union, to the West with the Tahirate of Nurghur and to the South with the Sea of Ghur and the Uzghur Republic, the latter of which has territorial disputes with the Ghur Republic ever since its formation.

The Ghur Republic was formed out of the Ghur-speaking regions of the former Ghur Confederation, which surged after the fall of the Ghur Empire at the hands of the Savahidd Dynasty in 682 A.W., but its history dates back fifteen centuries to the Early Ghur tribes that conquered most of Southern Meridion in the sixth century B.W. The capital of the Republic is the city of Itumghur, located in the heart of the eponymous Itumghur Province. It is a predominantly Naghuzadhist country; most of its population, centered in the provinces of Itumghur, Nurayadd and Uzordolih are Dualists, while the provinces of Ordoghur, Pazlih and Netalih are predominantly Patriarchists.

History
The first inhabitants of the Ghur territory were the early Talezu tribes who arrived from the west as the Great Kaleh expanded. However these settlements were abandoned and the region was forgotten when the Sahi Empire conquered territories to the west. The first Ghurs were descendents of the Sahi. Many Ghur settlements were created in what is now the Itumghur Province. The Ghurs grew to be conquerors and their territories soon occupied most of the Southern Meridion.



At the hands of Bhormadu Nuyadh, a young prince from an important warring clan, the Ghurs adopted a social system similar to that of the Nahiir and soon became one of the largest empires of all time. The Ghurs extended their language, culture and religion all over the Meridion, and at its zenith the Empire stretched from the Tuqmurr peninsula in the west to the Vahay Sea in the east.
