Vojandzeka

Vojandzeka (Vojanak: Vojăndzekă), known officially as The Free Vojanak Republic (Vojanak: Ta Vojănăk Rzepublik Ăn ) , or simply as Vojana (Vojanak: Vojănă) , is a landlocked country in eastern Alutra. It is bordered to the north by Galvia, to the west by Izlegal, and to the south and east by Ochsardvia and its  Seceßko. The country's borders are largely defined by the Plǎduv River and its tributaries, which run centrally through the nation and empties into the Locufaric Ocean. The capital city is Trpinjă, and it along with Sipěrlat and Bramoz constitute the country's largest urban centers. The Vojanak language is the and sole official language of Vojandzeka; it is the first language of most of Vojanak citizens and is the only country whose official language list includes it.

Vojandzeka has had near constant human habitation for roughly 40,000 years, settled by proto-Galvic/proto-Varic peoples migrating from the Lake Vāras area. It was also much later settled by proto-Gožyar and other miscellaneous Serpentine peoples in the late and early  (4,000-3,000 BCE), who then intermingled with the previous inhabitants, mixing together culturally and genetically into their own unique people. Vojanak city-states began to form around 900 BCE, mostly centered around the floodplains of the Plǎduv River and its respective estuaries, gathering especially within the wide valleys of the north. These city states started as small, weak kingdoms, and remained that way for around a century prior to the founding of Wizkanja and the Wizkanian Empire, traditionally dated to 800 BCE. According to Zavnakism, the city was established by one Zavno — who according to legend had descended to Vanatas from the Sun.

The Wizkanian Empire would soon grow in size, due partially to its advanced politics, advanced military strategy, its strategic location along a navigable river, and simple luck. The Wizkanian realm would begin to expand slowly to its south at first, and would become rapidly larger throughout the 6th and 5th centuries BCE as the Wizkanians began to conquer the Transbregashian and Serpentine regions through a series of military invasions and treaties. At its peak, the Wizkanian Empire spanned the majority of south-central Alutra, reaching both the Abayadi Sea and the Locufaric Ocean.
