Gharzere (Gharzi: ghár;zer [gɐɾˈzɛɾɤ]), officially the People's Confederation of Gharzere, is a country located in Northern Etzavaz. One of three tzalist countries in Etzavaz, it is bordered by the Oldirian Union to the north and east and the Central Etzavazi Republic to the west. With a population of over 18 million, its capital is Štakë and the largest city is Tatayat. The country has the oldest Misraist skhalemas in Etzavaz, as well as Etzavazi architecture.
The country is a former colony of Dhimrai, having seceded in 20XX CY through the Gharzi Wars. Due to having been an independent state for over 2,600 years and its isolation from Yasgan civilisations, Gharzere is drastically different from its historical relatives, with its current culture being heavily influenced by Verethian tradition and language.
Gharzere is a tzalist state, and has been ruled by the People's Revolutionary Party of Gharzere (PRPG) since 4598 CY. Gharzere went through prolonged warfare between the late 46th century and early 47th century. After the Autumn Revolution in 4598, Gharzere became a tzalist state and joined the Second Black War, which was followed shortly after by the Third Black War. The Black Wars in turn led to the Copper War, which severely crippled the country. The foundation of the Global Alliance of People's Republics, of which Gharzere is a founding member, greatly helped the rebuilding of the country following the war.
Etymology
The name Gharzere comes from Gharzi ghár;zer, which is derived from Classical Dhimze Aghartsareiās meaning "land of rivers". The name was first attested in the 19th century CY and most likely referred to the entirety of Etzavaz. The first modern use of the name dates from the XXth century CY, with the unification of the Kingdom of Gharzere.
