Minyalga

Minyalga, formerly called [EXONYM] and officially styled the Most Righteous and Thrice-Blessed Republic of Minyalga, or simply the Republic of Minyalga, is a nation in [CONTINENT], bordered to Higher Tar-Dinnu and Lower Tar-Dinnu to the north, to the Locufaric Ocean to the west, the Kidal Sea to the east, and [NEIGHBOR(S)] to the south. Ngudlu Dhitá is the nation's capital and largest city, as well as the spiritual center of the Kahasaylumna branch of Edlrism. The multi-ethnic population of 7.8 million includes peoples of Minyal, Dinnu, Kidal, and Mwakhnen descent, alongside other smaller inland indigenous groups, such as the tribes of the Suhul Coast in the east of the nation. The nation's official language is Minyal, while Dinnu is the nation's second most-spoken regional language, followed by those of indigenous groups, principally Kidal. The nation is governed under a  that nominally has an  in the form of the Lumi'mdrixi (Minyal, lit. "Beloved soul"), the religious leader of Kahasaylumna Edlrism. In practice, more temporal authorities have gradually been vested in the hands of the House of Elders, a dual secular and clerical institution which serves as the nation's legislature, which is led by a popularly-elected High Elder which by custom runs matters of temporal concern in the stead of the Lumi'mdrixi. The Lumi'mdrixi theoretically has the ability to rule by decree, though the overall trend in both religious scholarship and political theory in Minyalga has seen the role of the Lumi'mdrixi become more of a for temporal matters, while they remain highly significant culturally.

The ancestors of the Minyal people are believed to have migrated eastward from modern-day Gemurtrak sometime in the 4th Century CE, believed to have been Old Osamian Mariners on a series of voyages of exploration. Having been dislocated as a result of the chaos caused in the region by the Hórá Enutú event, the mariners and their families are believed to have fled into an area today part of the southwestern regions of Minyalga, where they became integrated with the extant Dinnu populations before forging a new and unique cultural identity of their own. Despite this narrative, modern anthropologists and ethnographers are uncertain if the Minyal had actually emerged from Osamian culture in late antiquity, though references to the Minyal culture through the Dinnu "[EXONYM]" appear as early as the 5th Century CE. Various petty states competed for control of the region throughout the medieval period, with numerous Dinnuenized city-states in opposition to forces such as the Mwakha Kingdom and Suhul Confederacy, until the 13th Century CE when the first Minyal-ruled empire, the [GOD-KINGDOM], was established in 1313 CE by [FIRST GOD-KING], emerged and united much of [GREATER REGION]. This nation was largely responsible for the spread of Kahasaylumna, building a number of highly complex urban temple complexes known as Ngudlus, which deeply affected architecture in the region through their use of sophisticated hydroengineering and precision stonemasonry. The rulership of the [GOD-KINGS] gave way to that of the Kahasaylumna scholars which were originally developed by the empire, returning the region to an era of smaller, local polities by 1550, nominally led from the modern capital of Ngudlu Dhitá by the Lumi'mdrixis.
