Zovar Empire

The Źovar Empire (Źovari: Źovarnamak) was an empire in eastern Xalaju and the island of Itipaja, founded in 11575 AW. It collapsed during the Źovari Revolution between 11896 AW and 11912 AW.

Name
Źovarnamak, the Źovari name for the country, descends from the proto-Eastern Xallic words for "Homeland State", however the term "Źovar" or any word that descends from it are not commonly used in Źovari anymore. The Źovar Empire, during it's existence, used primarily Proto-Eastern Xallic based names.

History
The Źovar Empire was formed around the city of Qavar and quickly grew to nearby areas, as the areas around the city were underdeveloped and in chaos. It then expanded into the island of Itipaja. Between 11795 and 11896 AW, the Źovar Empire committed Genocide against the native peoples of inner-west and southern Xalaju, although it was violently stopped at the start of the Źovari Revolution, in which the Źovar Empire lost power in the vast majority of it's previous territory, being left in just the central area of Itipaja. The core, mainland area of the Źovar Empire fell under the control of the Interim Revolutionary Government of Źovar (IRG), and later the Źovari Republic.

Puppet States
During the reign of the Źovar Empire, several puppet states were established in areas they could not Źovarise, they were as follows:


 * Itipaja
