Ukuta

Ukuta, officially known as the Jarader State of Ukuta, is a landlocked in southern Kasare. It is bordered to the northeast by Alero, and the east by Nzandi. It has a population of 24 million, 1.5 million of which live in the capital and largest city of [placeholder].

First permanently settled in the paleolithic age, the beginning of the history of Ukuta is widely recognized as the rise of the first large tribes, the most influential of which being the Mgbo, N'enu, and Nani. These tribes would quickly be incorporated into the Tanuzhakid, and later Binu empires, the latter of which would heavily settle and assimilate the region. The collapse of the empire would lead to the unification of the tribes under the Mgbo N'enu Kingdom, which would further unite the culture and region against its neighbors. The kingdom would be vassalized and annexed into the Jama Wedu Empire to the south, where they would face cultural and religious suppression. The arrival of Jarader colonists and missionaries would see the quick adoption of h'Ejrad and Agar culture, along with widespread anti Wedu sentiment. After the Nzandi Revolution, the Ukuti people under the new republic would face cultural and religious suppression by the new anti-Haksar government, leading to a brief revolution and declaration of the Republic of Ukuta. Infighting between pro-independence groups however would see takeover by haa-Darrusa, a, radical Jarader group, and the establishment of the modern state.

Today, the nation is embroiled in bloody civil war between pro and anti government forces, with the nation becoming a ground for foreign nations to exert their influence. The nation is one of the poorest and least happy in the world, with refugees flowing out to other nations. Ukuta is very ethnically diverse, with the majority of the population following h'Ejrad or various indigenous beliefs.
