Conan

Conan is a country in Mhasifu that borders Sulave, Helan and Zarÿgüdah. It is a large country consisting mostly of steppe and desert. The southern coast of the country is more fertile and hosts the majority of the population. Most of the country is sparsely populated and largely underdeveloped. A former Opole colony, it was strongly influenced by Opole customs and society.

The capital of Conan is Udense, a former Atian port city. Most of the other large Conanian cities were founded by Tenneti settlers in earlier times. The city of Nouachadin, the third city of Conan, was the former capital of the Tenchajul, the western part of the mainland Tenneti possessions.

Conan emerged as an independent state after the decolonization of Opole. Due to the multitude of ethnicities and cultural influences present in Conan, there is no single distinct society, and no majority ethnic group. The official languages of Conan are Diragian Atian (Kdiragh), Opolni and Teske, a large indigenous language spoken by inhabitants of the western coast.

History
Tennet controlled most of the southeastern coast for centuries, establishing the Niugchour and Tennethaal colonial settlements on the southern cape of Conan, controlling most of the trade through the Atian Strait. Aided by Kavuan Tenneti fortresses, Tennet established a thriving colony on the southeastern coast called Musaal, after the Inveni word for desert, Misâl.

For two centuries, the southeastern coast was split between Tusun (western Helan) and Musaal, the two Tenneti departments of the mainland colonies of the empire.

When the Tenneti colonial empire collapsed when Feidhir and Opole established new colonies on the Helan and Conan coasts, Conan came under the influence of Opole. Separating parts of Tusun and Yungaz (the northern mining colony of Tennet) from the newly established colony of Opolni Helan, the Opole government created the colony of Cunnun, later renamed to Conan. Opole settlers also colonized the west coast of what is now part of Conan, after brief colonization efforts by Feidhirni settlers.

Conan became independent when the Opole government awarded indepedence to the Conanian indigenous inhabitants after pressure by the Qanatt to allow for self-determination in the Lostannian region. Under the Kühnlaat administration Conan briefly occupied Kavu, but the Thirty Days' War ended this situation swiftly when Sulave and Opole liberated Kavu. Frequent border clashes between Helan and Conan became a regular sight in the region for decades, until the Inugaz Armistice. Today, Conan is a member of the Lostannian Union together with Sulave, Tgopoli Has-hudu, Zarÿgüdah, Helan, Mesengir, Tennet, Kavu and Toho.
