The Gintem Confederation is an association of 33 Tschintierst-speaking countries located in Northeast Yazland. The confederation covers and area of 699,902 km2 (270,234 sq mi) and has a combined population of X million people, not including overseas colonies of member states. The confederation has existed in some form since the fall of the Doccábhan Empire and Sendeasta Missísin’s division of its lands to the various Gintem tribal rulers. Since its formation the Gintem has been a powerful thorn in the side of various North Yazland nations, banding together to prevent any large scale outside attack, but constantly squabbling from within. The confederation is unique among organizations, being not a state, but also not a mere alliance; existing to mediate the various disputes between the rulers of the states that reside within it. In its modern form it has also served as a way to interact economically and politically with the various small states of the confederation without doing so individually, though states such as TSC and KSC still operate functionally independently of the confederation.

Following the fall of the Doccábhan Empire, the Gintem Confederation would conquer much of the land on the Eastern Side of the Grese Mountains. The official founding of the Confederation would be in 3356 CY, though it had existed in a loose form for decades prior. Sendeasta Missisin would be elected as the first Archqueen Paramount of the Gintem Confederation, she would go on to add more land into the Gintem through the conquest of various Doccábhan remnant states, redistributing land to Gintem peoples following conquest. Missisin would die in 3397 CY with no biological heirs, and her lands in the Gintem Confederation would be split amongst various nobles. This would establish the tradition of Missisinic succession within the Gintem Confederation, whereupon the death of a monarch, a vote could be called by the Noble Council to split their land among various landowning successors. Maircességte the Great would succeed Missisin as Archking Paramount, and would institute numerous reforms to the confederation, establishing the Noble Council and the Common Council, as well as rolling back some of the anti-Doccábh edicts of Missisin's reign. Maircességte would also make Classical Doccábh the official literary language of the Confederation in 3399 CY, and records would be recorded primarily through Classical Doccábh for a century. Conquest of land from more Doccábhan remnant states would see the outbreak of disputes between the various member states of the confederation, and an eventual conflict in the Three Kings' War of 3411 CY. The war would see the Kingdom of Üü and the Duchy of Jatschüümürns come into conflict with the Kingdom of Gistetschö and the Kingdom of Tschurskyyjo. Maircességte would bring the war to an end in 3415 CY after the devastation proved too great. The war would see the Kingdom of Üü propelled into being the largest power of the confederation, and their King X would make an attempt for the position Archking Paramount after Maircességte's death in 3420. This would be thwarted by a bloc of anti-Üü voters in Gistetschö, Vrishia, Kriibüsche, Mödwritschööss, and Tschurskyyjo, and X of Kriibüsche would be elected instead. Following the death of X in 3432, Üü it would be subject to a Missisinic succession called by the Archking Paramount and his supporters, drastically reducing its size and influence.
