'''Xarslasja''' ([ˈxaɾˌɬa.sʲə]), officially the "'''People's Republic of Xarslasja'''" ([[Arodjun]] ''Xaudixaum Xarslasjabwa'') is a country centered in the Xu Arslaum Desert, southwest of [[spawn]]. It was created by Agma Schwa. [[Yuɱa]], [[Payson]], [[Blythe]], [[Quartzsite]], [[Tempe]], [[Flagstaff]], [[Nogales]], [[Ajo]], [[Needle Rock]], [[Sedona]], [[Arcosanti]], [[Nothing]], [[Greer]], [[Buckeye]], [[Sun City West]], [[San Tan Valley]], [[Havasu Island]], [[Tucson]], [[Naco]], [[Apache Junction]], [[Clifton]], [[Ashton|Ashton,]] [[Tunnan]], [[Puoria]], [[Show Low|Show Low,]] [[Xar Harbor]], and [[Far Harbor]] are some of the cities and towns located in Xarslasja. The name is [[Arodjun]] in origin and roughly means "big desert area" or "Great Desert Land."

Xarslasja is a member of the [[United Ŋations]], the [[Thasusan Union]], and the [[South Thasusan Common Market Agreement]].

==History==
''(see [[History of Xarslasja]] for more)''

=== Pre-History ===
Within Xarslasja's current borders, there are two settlements that generated naturally: the sites of [[Yuɱa|Yuma]] and [[Flagstaff]]. [[Sun City West]] is located just across the [[Verde River]] from a natural village now in [[Pua]]'s control - once called the "Free City of Deming," and later renamed "[[Sun City]]."

During the early days of the world, the area that would become Xarslasja was largely left alone. In Wool Park, Yuma, you can see one protected piece of white wool, which represents perhaps the only evidence of a player interacting with the landscape before Agma Schwa arrived.

Near the current site of [[Nothing]], an old base, attributed to Gweng, existed on top of a butte. It was apparently taken apart well before The Raid, according to Gweng.

Some areas in [[Coconino County]] seem suspiciously flat, as if the spaces were leveled manually. This has not been proven, though there are some caves nearby that had torches in them by the time Agma Schwa explored the area.

In [[Mohave County]], the famous sites of the "Burnt House" and the "Dwarven Mines" can be found in [[Ashton]].

Additionally, the foundations for a base attributed to "Tach3on" can be found in western [[Santa Cruz County]]. It is unknown who Tach3on was, but, nevertheless, the site has been protected.

===Pre-UNg Period===

After The Raid led to the destruction of [[Phoeŋix]], [[Nguhtropolis]], and much of the infrastructure of the [[Old Kingdom]], the prior political order of the server had been reduced to nothing. In the months following November 2023, several new villages began to emerge closer to the [[Spawn]].

Agma Schwa continued living in the ruins of the Old Kingdom’s [[Five-Village Network]] until January of 2024, when he decided to migrate to a desert south of the Spawn. This desert hosted a seemingly-uncontacted village, which was named “Yuɱa,” after the city in the real-world state of Arizona.

Around January 4th, 2024, Agma Schwa assumed the role of [[Agamashuya I]] as the [[Bezuv]] of the "Bezuvate of Xarslasja."

In late January, a [[Cenrail]] extension was built to Yuɱa.

In February, construction began on the town of [[Blythe]] on the other side of the [[Colorado River]], centered around the old Port Authority of Yuɱa. With multiple towns under construction, the region was dubbed “Xarslasja” (Arodjun for “Great Desert Land”) and the land declared intent on joining the United ŋations.

In March, construction began on the cities of [[Tempe]], [[Quartzsite]], and [[Payson]]. These cities and town make up "Core Xarslasja" or "Mainland Xarslasja," though technically [[Blythe]] is on the west side of the Colorado River.

In late March 2024, the [[Great Desert Bank]] opened, allowing for Xarslasja to make transactions in [[Slab|Slabs]] for the first time.

On April 1st, 2024, the Yuɱa Post Office was remodeled to follow the standards of Annwan's Mail Route. The [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] was also re-opened with the construction of the Port Authority Tower in Blythe.

===Early Bezuvate (2024)===

On April 2nd, 2024, Xarslasja was admitted into the [[United Ŋations]] by a unanimous 6-0 vote.

From there, dozens of towns were built and the borders of the nation gradually expanded, especially with the dissolutions of countries like [[Pais Transanguino Ranitino]] and [[Murbetia]].

As the country grew larger and larger, the power of the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] under [[Gu Sabah]] increased and the disagreements of the [[Xarslasja Legislature]] grew deeper and more fundamental.

Eventually, Gu Sabah began assuming political power outside of his role as [[Dmacixuv]], taking over [[La Paz County]] outright and claiming dominion over much of [[Gila County]], including the [[Shea Island]] Naval Complex that he used as his headquarters. This culminated in the [[Coup Sabah]] in October 2024, during which Gu Sabah besieged the palace of his father, the [[Bezuv]] Agamashuya I. After a series of armed conflicts culminating in the [[Battle of Flagstaff]], Gu Sabah's movement became the [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]], a separatist group that lasted until May of 2025.

After this conflict, [[Coconino County]] went into direct military rule and the Xarslasja Port Authority was abolished. The nation gradually returned to peace and the cities and infrastructure expanded.

=== Late Bezuvate (2025-26) ===
Throughout 2025, the nation focused heavily on infrastructure, both locally and internationally. The original transit systems of the nation were, as many called them, "scuffed." The Bezuv initiated government projects such as [[Operation: Mingling]], the [[Xarslasja Transit Revolution]], and [[Operation: Usable Transit]]. The Bezuvate also led the charge on the first wave of the [[Thasusa By Land Initiative]], a continent-spanning road network to make land travel safe and convenient for long distances across countries.

In May 2025, [[Gu Sabah]] was finally defeated during the [[Battle of Tucson]]. The city was destroyed and Gu Sabah was put in a publicly visible cell at Central Yard in Yuma. The [[Gu Sabah KILLFEST]] then took place, where tourists could kill Gu Sabah repeatedly to collect souvenir heads. Finally, he was hanged in a gallows in [[Oracle]].

In the fall of 2025, Xarslasja grew again. The nation of [[Þunan Qumreá]] declined and finally collapsed into a period of Warlords and chaos. New nations formed in its midst, and finally Xarslasja was granted the remaining territory, notably including the culturally significant city of [[Ashton]]. This became the [[Tunnan Military District]]. The nations of the Thasusan Continent also came together during the fall of 2025 under the banner of the [[Thasusan Union]], with its headquarters at [[Þunan Ŋáce]]. This growth in territory led to the next political conflict in Xarslasja that eventually led to the government's collapse: the [[Census Rush]].

The [[Counties of Xarslasja]] demanded reapportionment of the Legislature to reflect the changes in population in various parts of the country, and the prospect of creating two new counties ([[Mohave County]] and [[Cochise County]]) from the Tunnan District made many smaller counties afraid that they'd further lose power in the government. Citizens of these smaller counties created "filibusters," notably the [[Gila County Filibuster]], the [[Pima County Filibuster]] and the [[Yavapai County Filibuster]] that developed the towns of [[Ashton]], [[Tunnan]], and [[Show Low]] respectively.

In December, the [[Jolly Blackout]] and [[Hacking Plague]] occurred. The entire population of [[Arcosanti]] was wiped out, including the Bezuv Agamashuya I, though news of the Beuv's death was kept hidden for nearly three months.

In January 2026, the reapportionment occurred and the new coutnies were created. Noting the Bezuv's absence, many counties began working on unauthorized construction projects and other political missions, ignoring federal authority. In response to this, House Speaker [[Jodai Wemmi]] took steps to give her position more power during periods of absence of the Bezuv. Notably, the "Absentia Statute" gave her the tie-breaking vote and the ability to act as executive on construction projects with no Bezuv present. This gradually led to further chaos until the Legislature was unable to handle the crisis brewing in [[Santa Cruz County]].

In early 2026, the [[United Ŋations]] released two world maps that showed conflicting boundaries between Xarslasja and [[Pua]] at Santa Cruz County. As an unauthorized construction project, residents of Nogales made encampments and fences at [[Hayden's Ferry]], a cove widely considered the Xarslasja-Pua border, and many even expanded beyond it to pedantically follow the exact boundary marker of one of the two maps. Pua began responding to this apparent aggression and fed into the country's nationalistic [[Greater Pua]] Movement. In March, they took [[Florence Island]] and [[Shea Island]] to help Xarslasja "quell their rebellion." The dysfunctional Legislature was unable to contain Santa Cruz County ''or'' declare war on Pua, and Wemmi asserted that Pua was a friend, not a foe.

By April, Jodai Wemmi was removed from the Legislature and exiled from the country, and [[Akuv]] [[Ngu]] (slave to creativity) became the highest ranking official. This brief period under his control became known as the "Akuvate of Xarslasja." He arrested most of the Legislature and sent them to the newly built [[Schwa-shank Military Prison]] in [[Eager]], besieged the Puan island of [[Puoria]], and began negotiations for land swaps with Pua. On May 4th, he embarked on a "goodwill" tour of the military occupied [[Coconino County]]. While giving a speech at the [[Flagstaff]] Ghastport, protesters broke the military barricade and trampled Ngu to death. Further rebellion and chaos spread in Xarslasja, and now there again was no head of government. [[Dmacixuv]] [[Sjarm Adax]] ended up ''de facto'' head of government, and immediately continued working on the peace deal with Pua.

=== Pua's 51-Minute Annexation and ''Xaudixaum Xarslasjabwa'' ===
Sjarm Adax immediately entered negotiations with Pua, continuing the process Ngu had begun. On the evening of May 6th, General Secretary [[Peaches]] Ariki-Rino of Pua agreed to the Ngu-Adax Peace Plan, and agreed to help Xarslasja get itself back on its feet, albeit with express Pro-Pua support henceforth. Adax conceded the island of [[Bar Harbor]] and the entire eastern half of [[Santa Cruz County]] (including the eastern half of [[Nogales]]) to Pua. In turn, Pua gave the lighthouse island of [[Puoria]] back to Xarslasja, and a massive chunk of mountainous land at the former Xarslasja-[[Nāroňpār]]-Pua tripoint frontier, formerly the northern reaches of the [[Whenua-Kāo-Ua Oblast]].

In order to seal the deal and allow for the reestablishment of an unquestionably new, legitimate government (that favors Pua), Peaches and Adax collaborated in the dissolution of the "Bezuvate of Xarslasja" and its "annexation" by Pua from 6:36PM to 7:27PM (a total of 51 minutes), before Peaches made a public statement announcing that it was an "outrageous declaration from the Dmacixuv Sjarm Adax" that Pua would ever engage in such expansionism, and that Xarslasja now was the "People's Republic of Xarslasja," or in Arodjun, ''Xaudixaum Xarslasjabwa'', with Sjarm Adax as the head of state and government with the newly-established title of "[[Xaudixuv]]", roughly translating to "Leader of the Nation."

Another 30-ish minutes later, Sjarm Adax gave himself the regnal title [[Agamashuya II]] and abolished the [[Xarslasja Legislature]]. Plans were set in motion to replace it with a "Council of Constituent Counties (CCC)," and a "declaration of eternal friendship" with Pua was made official, as well. Henceforth, Puan citizens would have the same rights as Xarslasjunnou.

Following this evening of chaos, the international reaction was wild. Multiple nations had been participating in the conflict at the defense of the old Bezuvate government. Most of them quickly put out official statements that, while they disapproved of the outcome, they would lower their arms and depart their troops from the region. Many were confused by the situation of the tenuous condominium of [[Surprise]].

=== Xaudixaum Peace (2026) ===
As the situation calmed down, the situation with Surprise was clarified after the [[Kozdenen]] government built a comically large tower in the territory, marking by far the tallest building in Xarslasja.

In late May, [[Operation: Usable Transit]] was put back into motion, with every major local line being converted into functional two-lane rails. New lines were planned to make high-speed lines connecting Yuma directly to [[Far Harbor]] in the west and [[Sun City West]] in the east. The Friendship Canal (working title) broke ground in late May as well.

Agamashuya II also determined it would best serve the administrative structure and practical purposes of the nation to expand [[Pinal County]] to include the new territory in the far east, dissolve [[Santa Cruz County]] and incorporate it into Coconino County, and to dissolve [[Pima County]] and absorb it into [[La Paz County]]. This process took effect on July 10th, 2026.

On July 27th, 2026, the [[United Ŋations]] was officially dissolved by a vote of 23-8. Agamashuya II stated support for the motion, but did not cast an official vote. He then immediately offered Xarslasja's entry into its two successor organizations, the [[UNgSO]] and the [[IFECS]], while emphasising the importance of the [[Thasusan Union]] for Xarslasja's international relations.

In September 2026, the Xaudixuv, in junction with the Constituent Council of Yuma County, authorized the construction of [[Djobom University]] in the undeveloped southernmost strip of the city of Yuma. Ground broke on September 13th.

==Ecology==
The most densely populated region of Xarslasja is known as "[[Core Xarslasja]]," located in a desert biome on the southeast coast of the [[Agmatic Ocean]].

North of Core Xarslasja are rolling savannas and forests that reach the northern border of the nation. There is also the notable [[Painted Desert]], home to the (future) town of [[Sedona]] and the ruins of a former base destroyed during [[The Raid]], now known as [[Nothing]]. At the extreme northwest, in the Agmatic Ocean, there are several grassy islands that make up the area known as the [[Carefree Isles]].

To the south is the [[Djobom Sea]], which features a few major islands within Xarslasja territory, including [[Why Island]] and [[Ajo]].

The southern and western landmasses which contain the towns of [[Nogales]] and [[Flagstaff]] respectively are mostly savannas and plains full of acacias. The land surrounding Flagstaff in particular is home to many species of animals not found elsewhere in Xarslasja territory. A small swamp can be found right along the edge of Flagstaff.

To the north, Xarslasja shares a border with [[Patra]], [[Moshas]], [[Nāroňpār]], the [[Thasusan Union]]'s Zone of Thunan Ngace, and a sea border with [[Maraśa]]'s exclave. The northernmost regions of Xarslasja are forests, jungles, and jungle hills annexed from [[Þunan Qumreá]]. These areas are not desert at all (save for a small stretch of sand near Faupinudmair), and are jokingly referred to as ''Xukidmausja'' "The Great Forest Land."

=== Bodies of Water ===
There are several rivers/straits (AR: ''wifawa'') in or partially in Xarslasja:

* [[Oak River]]
* [[Blue River]]
* [[Verde River]]
* [[Salt River]]
* [[Colorado River]]
* [[Gila River]]
* Ajasiq River

There are only a few natural lakes in Xarslasja larger than puddles:

* [[Saguaro Lake]]
* Rankadmair
* Faupinudmair
The main seas surrounding Xarslasja are:

* [[Agmatic Ocean]]
* [[Djobom Sea]]
* [[Puna Nui]]
* [[Hilja Sea]]
* [[Hwjengh Hak]] (surrounding [[Far Harbor]])

=== Mountains and Other Terrain ===
On land, there are several mountains and other geological features of note:

* [[South Mountain]]
* Estrella Mountains
* Mogollon Rim
* Cave Creek Canyon
* [[Painted Desert]]

=== National Forests and Ecological Preserves ===
''(see [[National Forests of Xarslasja]])''

To prevent the overexpansion of settlement over native desert ecosystems, a series of national forests were created by the Xarslasja Legislature:

* [[Tonto National Forest]]
* [[Coconino National Forest]]
* [[Verde Jungle National Forest]]
* [[South Mountain Ecological Preserve]]
* [[Gila River Ecological Preserve]]
* [[Ajo National Forest]]

=== Ecological Crises ===
The desert (Xu Arslau) from which Xarslasja gets its name is at risk of disappearing due to the encroachment of the Yuma-Tempe metro area along with the Bezuv's [[Greenification]] program. While the Xarslasjan cactus population is still sufficient in the Painted Desert's Red Desert biome, there are fewer and fewer natively grown cacti in the normal sand as sand spaces continue to shrink.

In January 2025, the [[Xarslasja Deadshrub]] and the Xarslasja Cactus were declared Protected Species.

==Culture==

Core Xarslasja is located in a desert biome surrounded by bodies of water. One of the notable features of the region are the manually-planted oak and acacia trees placed across the desert and the grass planted across the riverbed of the Colorado River.

Yuɱa, Tempe, Quartzsite, Payson, Needle Rock, and Blythe are populated with villagers, and the infrastructure of these cities is designed to accomodate their needs above all.

Yuɱa has a complete street address system, wherein every street has a name (in Arodjun) and every building has an address based on the cardinal direction and proximity of the building relative to the central square.

In regions surrounding Xarslasja, especially along coastlines, small monuments of stone can be found pointing towards Yuɱa for navigational purposes.

The most common building material used in Xarslasja is sandstone, with most works of architecture containing terracotta, copper blocks, and birch wood. Most windows are made of glass blocks instead of panes, for improved insulation from the desert heat.

===Religion===

The religion of Xarslasja is a blend of [[Ætérnalism]] with the traditional Fwonnel practices of [[Bez]]. This synchronism merges the belief that [[Ætérnal]] is a divine being worth revering and fearing and that the goal of a civilization should be to achieve and maintain a state of "Bez," which can be thought of as "balance," or, more specifically, "sustainable terraforming."

An Ætérnal Shrine can be found atop [[South Mountain]], just south of Yuɱa.

=== Entertainment and Media ===
Xarslasjan citizens often engage in hiking, cross-country horseriding, swimming, and Spleef.

[[Arslaum Radio]] is a popular news and entertainment radio station and written publication. While not state-owned and prone to spreading tabloid gossip, the publication is generally supportive of the decisions of the Bezuv.

== Tourism and Sites ==
[[File:Xarslasja polities.jpg|thumb|Polities and Ecological Preserves in Xarslasja (red lines show county boundaries, black lines show outdated national borders, white lines show polity boundaries) (2026)]]
People come form all over the world to admire Xarslasja's complex cities, rich culture, and unorthodox CenRail Stations. In addition to this, there are many sites of note throughout the country:

[[File:View of Juma.png|thumb|View of Juma from the eastern edge of town (circa March 2024)]]

Since May 2026, Xarslasja is a communistic military dictatorship, euphemistically called ''Xaudixaum'' (literally "the nation/the culture"). It is led by the ''[[Xaudixuv]]'', [[Agamashuya II]]. In English, the phrase "People's Republic of Xarslasja" is used. The Republic aspect, in this sense, refers to what the Xaudixuv calls the [[Council of Constituent Counties]] (CCC). Counties each have their own "advisory boards" that inform decisions specific to the needs of their territories.

From January 2024 to May 2026, Xarslasja ''was'' a Bezuvate, a military-civil union run by Bezuv Agma Schwa, the Lord Terraformer of the Desert (''Bezuv Xarslasjabwa'', lit. "Ruler of Balance of the Desert Region").

Each populated center in Xarslasja is led by Unubuv (lit. "city rulers, mayors").

=== Foundations ===
The government of Xarslasja has a habit of establishing Embassies in independent villages to establish good relations and provide the Xarslasjunkou with places to stay during travel abroad. The first four Embassies were established during the [[Western Cherry Expedition]] of March 23-25, 2024.

Upon joining the United Ŋations, the borders of Xarslasja were expanded, nearly tripling its land area, to include several islands throughout the [[Djobom Sea]] and the entirety of the landmass the desert is situated on and meeting borders with [[Þunan Qumreá]] at the former territory of the [[Pais Transanguino Ranitino]].

In June, the landmass to the southwest of Core Xarslasja containing [[Flagstaff]] (the first unclaimed village given a Xarslasja Embassy during the Western Cherry Expedition) was officially incorporated into the Bezuvate. This was followed in July by several large annexations to the southeast.
[[File:Yuma-city.png|thumb|A view of Yuma, with the [[Xarslasja Legislature]] Building visible in the background.]]
The Territory of Ŋibraltar is a joint-administrated district located on the southernmost tip of Anthem Island in the Carefree Isles. It is mostly managed by the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]], but is controlled equally by both nations.

=== Counties ===
In August 2024, the eleven [[Counties of Xarslasja]] were officially marked on a map. These counties have set amounts of representatives in the [[Xarslasja Legislature]].

After annexing territory from the disbanded [[Þunan Qumreá]], the [[Tunnan Military District]] was created. From this land, two new proposed counties were slated for establishment at the beginning of 2026: [[Mohave County]] and [[Cochise County]]. They became incorporated in February 2026.

=== Hymn of Xarslasja ===
The national pledge of Xarslasja, known as the [[Hymn of Xarslasja]], goes as follows:

"With our artifacts from the distant past, we build the future"

'''''Ca mjanjawa zlaxr bwa k'au djoxux, doumma mo'ijau jiomja.'''''

"From the children of the Old Kingdom, we promote Bez"

'''''Bwa birxawa Pobunbwa Qloex, toffema Bez jiomja.'''''

"For the bounty of the people, we praise the Bezuv and Ætérnal"

'''''Inai pairoxau mjarxwaubwa, inoffima Bezuv wu Ateernau jiomja.'''''

==Economy==
[[File:Colorado-office.png|thumb|Port Colorado and the Colorado River Post Office, December 2024.]]
The Economy of Xarslasja has two major focuses: Raw Materials and Transit. Being located in a desert, supplies like sand and sandstone are often bartered or sold. The location of Xarslasja as the "gateway to the southern hemisphere" has also made it an important stopping point for travellers by foot, rail, or boat. The [[Core Xarslasja Line|Core Xarslasja Line System]], with its main Terminus at the Yuɱa Line Station at 302 Ameu Kazlikk, provides rapid cart transit between the cities of Xarslasja, the Yuɱa CenRail Station, and the North Border.

Goods and services are exchanged for raw materials or for [[Slab|Slabs (POS)]] at the [[Great Desert Bank]] at the standards set by the [[Slab Exchange]]. Notably, as part of the "Greenification Project," one stack of Grass Blocks can be exchanged for one Slablet.

The Postal System of Xarslasja has been a role model for several months (in that it was one of the first since The Raid), and the revamp of April 2024 has made it comply with Annwan's Mail Route. The Yuɱa Post Office is located at 107 X. Dunxaum Juma, just north of the Yuɱa [[List of Warps|Warp]], making for quick shipping by land, rail, or teleportation. The Blythe Shipping Center at the Xarslasja Port Authority Tower, managed by a villager known as "The Griddy," also had mailboxes for those who collected and sent mail via boat. The Port Authority Tower was destroyed by a terrorist during the Coup Sabah, and a new building was constructed on the east side of the river.

Bezuv Agma Schwa has ensured that every type of Villager Specialization is available somewhere in Xarslasja, making exploration of the various towns in the region helpful for many travellers looking to improve their craft.

In September 2024, Xarslasja adopted the [[Puan Unity Argent]] as an official currency in addition to the Slab.

==Transit==
[[File:Yumastation.png|thumb|Yuma Station, Xarslasja' first [[Cenrail]] station.]](Main article: [[Transportation in Xarslasja]])

Due to the rapid and grand expansion of Xarslasjan civilization in a short amount of time, the transit systems of Xarslasja have been described in many ways, ranging from "quirky" to "garbage." Nevertheless, transit is key to the functioning of Xarslasja's economy.

=== Rail ===
Xarslasja is served by [[Cenrail]] at Yuɱa Station, Ngibraltar Station, Flagstaff Station, Sedona Station, and Ash Fork Station. These serve as the primary rapid rail transit to the rest of the world.
[[File:Nguhcraft local rail draft.png|thumb|A rough draft map showing the state of local transit in Xarslasja as of early April 2025.]]
Within Xarslasja, there are three major internal, one-lane rail lines: the [[Core Xarslasja Line]], the [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]], and the [[Acacialands Line]].

The Core Line has a nexus in Yuɱa which branches in four directions to Tempe, Payson, Yuɱa Station, and Blythe. It is currently being revamped significantly.

The [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]] begins in Payson and ends in Blythe, with stations in [[Ajo]], [[Nogales]], [[Flagstaff]], and [[Arcosanti]].

The [[Acacialands Line]] connects [[Sedona]] to [[Sun City West]].

A [[Leshrail]] stop exists in [[Surprise]].

=== Boat Transit ===
Boat travel is also quite easy throughout Xarslasja, as most settlements are located next to major bodies of water with docks built in. International travel is quite easy along the [[Salt River]] and [[Blue River]].

=== Roads ===
[[Operation: Mingling]] set up a network of roads and bridges webbing every side of the country. This was done to make transit and navigation possible across the vast swaths of land that were recently annexed.
[[File:Xarslasja rail map.png|thumb|Map of the Xarslasjan Local Rails, created by [[sq]] of [[Cenrail]]'s Design Department]]
In November 2024, the Bezuv made an international decree to the nations of the continent of Thasusa to improve land routes, called the "[[Thasusa By Land Initiative]]." The program began to pick up steam in January 2025, and Xarslasja won the contract to construct roads in [[Pua region|Pua]] after its [[Repunification]]. By July 2025, Thasusa By Land had taken the continent by the storm, with roads being constructed or integrated all over the northern part of the continent.

In September 2025, after much popular demand, the Bezuv decided to begin the process of converting Xarslasja Local Rails from one-lane lines to two-lane lines, beginning with a complete dismantling and revamp of the Yuma Nexus Station. Upon completion, it will be connected to the Yuma CenRail Station and be much more user-friendly.

=== Ghastports ===
''(see [[List of ghastports]] for more details about Xarslasjan ghastport locations)''

In November 2025, Xarslasja's first Ghastport was completed - the Yuma Ghastport 4-Port Hub at 201 Djaxeu Zlom, at the northernmost point of the city.

Soon later, to finish off the supply of Adnarian copper purchased for the [[Copper Festival]], 4 more ghastports were built in [[Flagstaff]], [[San Tan Valley]], [[Anthem]], and [[Ashton]]. The ghastport in Ashton, [[Muwewesja Ghastport]], is the largest, with 6 ghast bays. Another was built in [[Far Harbor]] after the proclamation of the new nation of [[Polnareff Land]].

The ghastports of Xarslasja are:

== International Relations ==
''See [[Tempe]], [[Diplomatic Relations of Xarslasja]]''

Xarslasja has a large network of interngational relations. A member of the [[United Ŋations]], Xarslasja occasionally provides input on international issues, while remaining mostly focused on the economic value of the [[Petrified Oak Slab]] and on the transit systems of [[Thasusa]]. The government of Xarslasja is largely friendly toward most nations, the only exceptions being those who supported the [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]], such as [[Tauranga Puawai]] and the [[Realm of Madness]], though even these relations have largely warmed up since the execution of [[Gu Sabah]].

The city of [[Tempe]] is the host to a large and growing array of embassies with other nations. The northern portion of the city, especially along Xidmex Bauxawa and Sljaudmeu Sjedonna is known as “[[Embassy Row]],” though county and National Forest boundaries forced a new block of embassies to be constructed on the south side of the city. Only one embassy is currently located outside of Tempe, that being Xarslasja’s first international embassy: the embassy to the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]]. This first embassy was constructed in [[Yuɱa]] just after the completion of the Yuma [[Cenrail (company)|Cenrail]] station, before Tempe had even been built.

== Demographics ==
The cities and towns of Xarslasja are populated primarily with villagers and Golems, though the towns in former [[Þunan Qumreá]] territory have a small population of Allays. The most popular language, by far, is [[Arodjun]], though there are multiple languages spoken by some that are being considered for legal minority status.

=== Population ===
As of the October-November 2025 Xarslasja Census, the largest city, by far, is Yuma. The most populous cities by villager count are:

# [[Yuɱa]]; ~ 85 villagers
# [[Tempe]]; ~ 35 villagers
# [[Blythe]]; ~ 30 villagers
# [[Flagstaff]]; ~ 30 villagers
# [[Nogales]]; ~ 25 villagers
# [[Ashton]]; ~ 20 villagers
# [[Quartzsite]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Ajo]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Anthem]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Sedona]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Sun City West]]; ~ 12 villagers

The census is still ongoing, but it is currently assumed that every other town in Xarslasja has 10 or fewer permanent villagers.

=== Language ===
[[Arodjun]] and [[English]] are co-official languages in Xarslasja. Most signage and official documentation is written in either of these two languages. Due to proximity with [[Pua]] and the annexation of [[Þunan Qumreá]] territories, there are now multiple minority languages, including [[German]], [[Maori]], [[Toki Pua]], [[Śácamþaśá]], [[Saxish]], and [[Kyawcenni]].

'''Xarslasja''' ([ˈxaɾˌɬa.sʲə]), officially the "'''People's Republic of Xarslasja'''" ([[Arodjun]] ''Xaudixaum Xarslasjabwa'') is a country centered in the Xu Arslaum Desert, southwest of [[spawn]]. It was created by Agma Schwa. [[Yuɱa]], [[Payson]], [[Blythe]], [[Quartzsite]], [[Tempe]], [[Flagstaff]], [[Nogales]], [[Ajo]], [[Needle Rock]], [[Sedona]], [[Arcosanti]], [[Nothing]], [[Greer]], [[Buckeye]], [[Sun City West]], [[San Tan Valley]], [[Havasu Island]], [[Tucson]], [[Naco]], [[Apache Junction]], [[Clifton]], [[Ashton|Ashton,]] [[Tunnan]], [[Puoria]], [[Show Low|Show Low,]] [[Xar Harbor]], and [[Far Harbor]] are some of the cities and towns located in Xarslasja. The name is [[Arodjun]] in origin and roughly means "big desert area" or "Great Desert Land."

Xarslasja is a member of the [[United Ŋations]], the [[Thasusan Union]], and the [[South Thasusan Common Market Agreement]].

==History==
''(see [[History of Xarslasja]] for more)''

=== Pre-History ===
Within Xarslasja's current borders, there are two settlements that generated naturally: the sites of [[Yuɱa|Yuma]] and [[Flagstaff]]. [[Sun City West]] is located just across the [[Verde River]] from a natural village now in [[Pua]]'s control - once called the "Free City of Deming," and later renamed "[[Sun City]]."

During the early days of the world, the area that would become Xarslasja was largely left alone. In Wool Park, Yuma, you can see one protected piece of white wool, which represents perhaps the only evidence of a player interacting with the landscape before Agma Schwa arrived.

Near the current site of [[Nothing]], an old base, attributed to Gweng, existed on top of a butte. It was apparently taken apart well before The Raid, according to Gweng.

Some areas in [[Coconino County]] seem suspiciously flat, as if the spaces were leveled manually. This has not been proven, though there are some caves nearby that had torches in them by the time Agma Schwa explored the area.

In [[Mohave County]], the famous sites of the "Burnt House" and the "Dwarven Mines" can be found in [[Ashton]].

Additionally, the foundations for a base attributed to "Tach3on" can be found in western [[Santa Cruz County]]. It is unknown who Tach3on was, but, nevertheless, the site has been protected.

===Pre-UNg Period===

After The Raid led to the destruction of [[Phoeŋix]], [[Nguhtropolis]], and much of the infrastructure of the [[Old Kingdom]], the prior political order of the server had been reduced to nothing. In the months following November 2023, several new villages began to emerge closer to the [[Spawn]].

Agma Schwa continued living in the ruins of the Old Kingdom’s [[Five-Village Network]] until January of 2024, when he decided to migrate to a desert south of the Spawn. This desert hosted a seemingly-uncontacted village, which was named “Yuɱa,” after the city in the real-world state of Arizona.

Around January 4th, 2024, Agma Schwa assumed the role of [[Agamashuya I]] as the [[Bezuv]] of the "Bezuvate of Xarslasja."

In late January, a [[Cenrail]] extension was built to Yuɱa.

In February, construction began on the town of [[Blythe]] on the other side of the [[Colorado River]], centered around the old Port Authority of Yuɱa. With multiple towns under construction, the region was dubbed “Xarslasja” (Arodjun for “Great Desert Land”) and the land declared intent on joining the United ŋations.

In March, construction began on the cities of [[Tempe]], [[Quartzsite]], and [[Payson]]. These cities and town make up "Core Xarslasja" or "Mainland Xarslasja," though technically [[Blythe]] is on the west side of the Colorado River.

In late March 2024, the [[Great Desert Bank]] opened, allowing for Xarslasja to make transactions in [[Slab|Slabs]] for the first time.

On April 1st, 2024, the Yuɱa Post Office was remodeled to follow the standards of Annwan's Mail Route. The [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] was also re-opened with the construction of the Port Authority Tower in Blythe.

===Early Bezuvate (2024)===

On April 2nd, 2024, Xarslasja was admitted into the [[United Ŋations]] by a unanimous 6-0 vote.

From there, dozens of towns were built and the borders of the nation gradually expanded, especially with the dissolutions of countries like [[Pais Transanguino Ranitino]] and [[Murbetia]].

As the country grew larger and larger, the power of the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] under [[Gu Sabah]] increased and the disagreements of the [[Xarslasja Legislature]] grew deeper and more fundamental.

Eventually, Gu Sabah began assuming political power outside of his role as [[Dmacixuv]], taking over [[La Paz County]] outright and claiming dominion over much of [[Gila County]], including the [[Shea Island]] Naval Complex that he used as his headquarters. This culminated in the [[Coup Sabah]] in October 2024, during which Gu Sabah besieged the palace of his father, the [[Bezuv]] Agamashuya I. After a series of armed conflicts culminating in the [[Battle of Flagstaff]], Gu Sabah's movement became the [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]], a separatist group that lasted until May of 2025.

After this conflict, [[Coconino County]] went into direct military rule and the Xarslasja Port Authority was abolished. The nation gradually returned to peace and the cities and infrastructure expanded.

=== Late Bezuvate (2025-26) ===
Throughout 2025, the nation focused heavily on infrastructure, both locally and internationally. The original transit systems of the nation were, as many called them, "scuffed." The Bezuv initiated government projects such as [[Operation: Mingling]], the [[Xarslasja Transit Revolution]], and [[Operation: Usable Transit]]. The Bezuvate also led the charge on the first wave of the [[Thasusa By Land Initiative]], a continent-spanning road network to make land travel safe and convenient for long distances across countries.

In May 2025, [[Gu Sabah]] was finally defeated during the [[Battle of Tucson]]. The city was destroyed and Gu Sabah was put in a publicly visible cell at Central Yard in Yuma. The [[Gu Sabah KILLFEST]] then took place, where tourists could kill Gu Sabah repeatedly to collect souvenir heads. Finally, he was hanged in a gallows in [[Oracle]].

In the fall of 2025, Xarslasja grew again. The nation of [[Þunan Qumreá]] declined and finally collapsed into a period of Warlords and chaos. New nations formed in its midst, and finally Xarslasja was granted the remaining territory, notably including the culturally significant city of [[Ashton]]. This became the [[Tunnan Military District]]. The nations of the Thasusan Continent also came together during the fall of 2025 under the banner of the [[Thasusan Union]], with its headquarters at [[Þunan Ŋáce]]. This growth in territory led to the next political conflict in Xarslasja that eventually led to the government's collapse: the [[Census Rush]].

The [[Counties of Xarslasja]] demanded reapportionment of the Legislature to reflect the changes in population in various parts of the country, and the prospect of creating two new counties ([[Mohave County]] and [[Cochise County]]) from the Tunnan District made many smaller counties afraid that they'd further lose power in the government. Citizens of these smaller counties created "filibusters," notably the [[Gila County Filibuster]], the [[Pima County Filibuster]] and the [[Yavapai County Filibuster]] that developed the towns of [[Ashton]], [[Tunnan]], and [[Show Low]] respectively.

In December, the [[Jolly Blackout]] and [[Hacking Plague]] occurred. The entire population of [[Arcosanti]] was wiped out, including the Bezuv Agamashuya I, though news of the Beuv's death was kept hidden for nearly three months.

In January 2026, the reapportionment occurred and the new coutnies were created. Noting the Bezuv's absence, many counties began working on unauthorized construction projects and other political missions, ignoring federal authority. In response to this, House Speaker [[Jodai Wemmi]] took steps to give her position more power during periods of absence of the Bezuv. Notably, the "Absentia Statute" gave her the tie-breaking vote and the ability to act as executive on construction projects with no Bezuv present. This gradually led to further chaos until the Legislature was unable to handle the crisis brewing in [[Santa Cruz County]].

In early 2026, the [[United Ŋations]] released two world maps that showed conflicting boundaries between Xarslasja and [[Pua]] at Santa Cruz County. As an unauthorized construction project, residents of Nogales made encampments and fences at [[Hayden's Ferry]], a cove widely considered the Xarslasja-Pua border, and many even expanded beyond it to pedantically follow the exact boundary marker of one of the two maps. Pua began responding to this apparent aggression and fed into the country's nationalistic [[Greater Pua]] Movement. In March, they took [[Florence Island]] and [[Shea Island]] to help Xarslasja "quell their rebellion." The dysfunctional Legislature was unable to contain Santa Cruz County ''or'' declare war on Pua, and Wemmi asserted that Pua was a friend, not a foe.

By April, Jodai Wemmi was removed from the Legislature and exiled from the country, and [[Akuv]] [[Ngu]] (slave to creativity) became the highest ranking official. This brief period under his control became known as the "Akuvate of Xarslasja." He arrested most of the Legislature and sent them to the newly built [[Schwa-shank Military Prison]] in [[Eager]], besieged the Puan island of [[Puoria]], and began negotiations for land swaps with Pua. On May 4th, he embarked on a "goodwill" tour of the military occupied [[Coconino County]]. While giving a speech at the [[Flagstaff]] Ghastport, protesters broke the military barricade and trampled Ngu to death. Further rebellion and chaos spread in Xarslasja, and now there again was no head of government. [[Dmacixuv]] [[Sjarm Adax]] ended up ''de facto'' head of government, and immediately continued working on the peace deal with Pua.

=== Pua's 51-Minute Annexation and ''Xaudixaum Xarslasjabwa'' ===
Sjarm Adax immediately entered negotiations with Pua, continuing the process Ngu had begun. On the evening of May 6th, General Secretary [[Peaches]] Ariki-Rino of Pua agreed to the Ngu-Adax Peace Plan, and agreed to help Xarslasja get itself back on its feet, albeit with express Pro-Pua support henceforth. Adax conceded the island of [[Bar Harbor]] and the entire eastern half of [[Santa Cruz County]] (including the eastern half of [[Nogales]]) to Pua. In turn, Pua gave the lighthouse island of [[Puoria]] back to Xarslasja, and a massive chunk of mountainous land at the former Xarslasja-[[Nāroňpār]]-Pua tripoint frontier, formerly the northern reaches of the [[Whenua-Kāo-Ua Oblast]].

In order to seal the deal and allow for the reestablishment of an unquestionably new, legitimate government (that favors Pua), Peaches and Adax collaborated in the dissolution of the "Bezuvate of Xarslasja" and its "annexation" by Pua from 6:36PM to 7:27PM (a total of 51 minutes), before Peaches made a public statement announcing that it was an "outrageous declaration from the Dmacixuv Sjarm Adax" that Pua would ever engage in such expansionism, and that Xarslasja now was the "People's Republic of Xarslasja," or in Arodjun, ''Xaudixaum Xarslasjabwa'', with Sjarm Adax as the head of state and government with the newly-established title of "[[Xaudixuv]]", roughly translating to "Leader of the Nation."

Another 30-ish minutes later, Sjarm Adax gave himself the regnal title [[Agamashuya II]] and abolished the [[Xarslasja Legislature]]. Plans were set in motion to replace it with a "Council of Constituent Counties (CCC)," and a "declaration of eternal friendship" with Pua was made official, as well. Henceforth, Puan citizens would have the same rights as Xarslasjunnou.

Following this evening of chaos, the international reaction was wild. Multiple nations had been participating in the conflict at the defense of the old Bezuvate government. Most of them quickly put out official statements that, while they disapproved of the outcome, they would lower their arms and depart their troops from the region. Many were confused by the situation of the tenuous condominium of [[Surprise]].

=== Xaudixaum Peace (2026) ===
As the situation calmed down, the situation with Surprise was clarified after the [[Kozdenen]] government built a comically large tower in the territory, marking by far the tallest building in Xarslasja.

In late May, [[Operation: Usable Transit]] was put back into motion, with every major local line being converted into functional two-lane rails. New lines were planned to make high-speed lines connecting Yuma directly to [[Far Harbor]] in the west and [[Sun City West]] in the east. The Friendship Canal (working title) broke ground in late May as well.

Agamashuya II also determined it would best serve the administrative structure and practical purposes of the nation to expand [[Pinal County]] to include the new territory in the far east, dissolve [[Santa Cruz County]] and incorporate it into Coconino County, and to dissolve [[Pima County]] and absorb it into [[La Paz County]]. This process took effect on July 10th, 2026.

On July 27th, 2026, the [[United Ŋations]] was officially dissolved by a vote of 23-8. Agamashuya II stated support for the motion, but did not cast an official vote. He then immediately offered Xarslasja's entry into its two successor organizations, the [[UNgSO]] and the [[IFECS]], while emphasising the importance of the [[Thasusan Union]] for Xarslasja's international relations.

In September 2026, the Xaudixuv, in junction with the Constituent Council of Yuma County, authorized the construction of [[Djobom University]] in the undeveloped southernmost strip of the city of Yuma. Ground broke on September 13th.

==Ecology==
The most densely populated region of Xarslasja is known as "[[Core Xarslasja]]," located in a desert biome on the southeast coast of the [[Agmatic Ocean]].

North of Core Xarslasja are rolling savannas and forests that reach the northern border of the nation. There is also the notable [[Painted Desert]], home to the (future) town of [[Sedona]] and the ruins of a former base destroyed during [[The Raid]], now known as [[Nothing]]. At the extreme northwest, in the Agmatic Ocean, there are several grassy islands that make up the area known as the [[Carefree Isles]].

To the south is the [[Djobom Sea]], which features a few major islands within Xarslasja territory, including [[Why Island]] and [[Ajo]].

The southern and western landmasses which contain the towns of [[Nogales]] and [[Flagstaff]] respectively are mostly savannas and plains full of acacias. The land surrounding Flagstaff in particular is home to many species of animals not found elsewhere in Xarslasja territory. A small swamp can be found right along the edge of Flagstaff.

To the north, Xarslasja shares a border with [[Patra]], [[Moshas]], [[Nāroňpār]], the [[Thasusan Union]]'s Zone of Thunan Ngace, and a sea border with [[Maraśa]]'s exclave. The northernmost regions of Xarslasja are forests, jungles, and jungle hills annexed from [[Þunan Qumreá]]. These areas are not desert at all (save for a small stretch of sand near Faupinudmair), and are jokingly referred to as ''Xukidmausja'' "The Great Forest Land."

=== Bodies of Water ===
There are several rivers/straits (AR: ''wifawa'') in or partially in Xarslasja:

* [[Oak River]]
* [[Blue River]]
* [[Verde River]]
* [[Salt River]]
* [[Colorado River]]
* [[Gila River]]
* Ajasiq River

There are only a few natural lakes in Xarslasja larger than puddles:

* [[Saguaro Lake]]
* Rankadmair
* Faupinudmair
The main seas surrounding Xarslasja are:

* [[Agmatic Ocean]]
* [[Djobom Sea]]
* [[Puna Nui]]
* [[Hilja Sea]]
* [[Hwjengh Hak]] (surrounding [[Far Harbor]])

=== Mountains and Other Terrain ===
On land, there are several mountains and other geological features of note:

* [[South Mountain]]
* Estrella Mountains
* Mogollon Rim
* Cave Creek Canyon
* [[Painted Desert]]

=== National Forests and Ecological Preserves ===
''(see [[National Forests of Xarslasja]])''

To prevent the overexpansion of settlement over native desert ecosystems, a series of national forests were created by the Xarslasja Legislature:

* [[Tonto National Forest]]
* [[Coconino National Forest]]
* [[Verde Jungle National Forest]]
* [[South Mountain Ecological Preserve]]
* [[Gila River Ecological Preserve]]
* [[Ajo National Forest]]

=== Ecological Crises ===
The desert (Xu Arslau) from which Xarslasja gets its name is at risk of disappearing due to the encroachment of the Yuma-Tempe metro area along with the Bezuv's [[Greenification]] program. While the Xarslasjan cactus population is still sufficient in the Painted Desert's Red Desert biome, there are fewer and fewer natively grown cacti in the normal sand as sand spaces continue to shrink.

In January 2025, the [[Xarslasja Deadshrub]] and the Xarslasja Cactus were declared Protected Species.

==Culture==

Core Xarslasja is located in a desert biome surrounded by bodies of water. One of the notable features of the region are the manually-planted oak and acacia trees placed across the desert and the grass planted across the riverbed of the Colorado River.

Yuɱa, Tempe, Quartzsite, Payson, Needle Rock, and Blythe are populated with villagers, and the infrastructure of these cities is designed to accomodate their needs above all.

Yuɱa has a complete street address system, wherein every street has a name (in Arodjun) and every building has an address based on the cardinal direction and proximity of the building relative to the central square.

In regions surrounding Xarslasja, especially along coastlines, small monuments of stone can be found pointing towards Yuɱa for navigational purposes.

The most common building material used in Xarslasja is sandstone, with most works of architecture containing terracotta, copper blocks, and birch wood. Most windows are made of glass blocks instead of panes, for improved insulation from the desert heat.

===Religion===

The religion of Xarslasja is a blend of [[Ætérnalism]] with the traditional Fwonnel practices of [[Bez]]. This synchronism merges the belief that [[Ætérnal]] is a divine being worth revering and fearing and that the goal of a civilization should be to achieve and maintain a state of "Bez," which can be thought of as "balance," or, more specifically, "sustainable terraforming."

An Ætérnal Shrine can be found atop [[South Mountain]], just south of Yuɱa.

=== Entertainment and Media ===
Xarslasjan citizens often engage in hiking, cross-country horseriding, swimming, and Spleef.

[[Arslaum Radio]] is a popular news and entertainment radio station and written publication. While not state-owned and prone to spreading tabloid gossip, the publication is generally supportive of the decisions of the Bezuv.

== Tourism and Sites ==
People come form all over the world to admire Xarslasja's complex cities, rich culture, and unorthodox CenRail Stations. In addition to this, there are many sites of note throughout the country:

* [[Jomax Stadium|'''Jomax Stadium''']], [[Anthem]]
* A'''nthem Grand Hotel''', Anthem
* '''Xarslasja Legislature Building''', Yuma
* [[Ləŋdəŋ Bridge|'''Ləŋdəŋ Bridge''']], [[Havasu Island]]

[[File:View of Juma.png|thumb|View of Juma from the eastern edge of town (circa March 2024)]]

Since May 2026, Xarslasja is a communistic military dictatorship, euphemistically called ''Xaudixaum'' (literally "the nation/the culture"). It is led by the ''[[Xaudixuv]]'', [[Agamashuya II]]. In English, the phrase "People's Republic of Xarslasja" is used. The Republic aspect, in this sense, refers to what the Xaudixuv calls the [[Council of Constituent Counties]] (CCC). Counties each have their own "advisory boards" that inform decisions specific to the needs of their territories.

From January 2024 to May 2026, Xarslasja ''was'' a Bezuvate, a military-civil union run by Bezuv Agma Schwa, the Lord Terraformer of the Desert (''Bezuv Xarslasjabwa'', lit. "Ruler of Balance of the Desert Region").

Each populated center in Xarslasja is led by Unubuv (lit. "city rulers, mayors").

=== Foundations ===
The government of Xarslasja has a habit of establishing Embassies in independent villages to establish good relations and provide the Xarslasjunkou with places to stay during travel abroad. The first four Embassies were established during the [[Western Cherry Expedition]] of March 23-25, 2024.

Upon joining the United Ŋations, the borders of Xarslasja were expanded, nearly tripling its land area, to include several islands throughout the [[Djobom Sea]] and the entirety of the landmass the desert is situated on and meeting borders with [[Þunan Qumreá]] at the former territory of the [[Pais Transanguino Ranitino]].

In June, the landmass to the southwest of Core Xarslasja containing [[Flagstaff]] (the first unclaimed village given a Xarslasja Embassy during the Western Cherry Expedition) was officially incorporated into the Bezuvate. This was followed in July by several large annexations to the southeast.
[[File:Yuma-city.png|thumb|A view of Yuma, with the [[Xarslasja Legislature]] Building visible in the background.]]
The Territory of Ŋibraltar is a joint-administrated district located on the southernmost tip of Anthem Island in the Carefree Isles. It is mostly managed by the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]], but is controlled equally by both nations.

=== Counties ===
In August 2024, the eleven [[Counties of Xarslasja]] were officially marked on a map. These counties have set amounts of representatives in the [[Xarslasja Legislature]].

After annexing territory from the disbanded [[Þunan Qumreá]], the [[Tunnan Military District]] was created. From this land, two new proposed counties were slated for establishment at the beginning of 2026: [[Mohave County]] and [[Cochise County]]. They became incorporated in February 2026.

=== Hymn of Xarslasja ===
The national pledge of Xarslasja, known as the [[Hymn of Xarslasja]], goes as follows:

"With our artifacts from the distant past, we build the future"

'''''Ca mjanjawa zlaxr bwa k'au djoxux, doumma mo'ijau jiomja.'''''

"From the children of the Old Kingdom, we promote Bez"

'''''Bwa birxawa Pobunbwa Qloex, toffema Bez jiomja.'''''

"For the bounty of the people, we praise the Bezuv and Ætérnal"

'''''Inai pairoxau mjarxwaubwa, inoffima Bezuv wu Ateernau jiomja.'''''

==Economy==
[[File:Colorado-office.png|thumb|Port Colorado and the Colorado River Post Office, December 2024.]]
The Economy of Xarslasja has two major focuses: Raw Materials and Transit. Being located in a desert, supplies like sand and sandstone are often bartered or sold. The location of Xarslasja as the "gateway to the southern hemisphere" has also made it an important stopping point for travellers by foot, rail, or boat. The [[Core Xarslasja Line|Core Xarslasja Line System]], with its main Terminus at the Yuɱa Line Station at 302 Ameu Kazlikk, provides rapid cart transit between the cities of Xarslasja, the Yuɱa CenRail Station, and the North Border.

Goods and services are exchanged for raw materials or for [[Slab|Slabs (POS)]] at the [[Great Desert Bank]] at the standards set by the [[Slab Exchange]]. Notably, as part of the "Greenification Project," one stack of Grass Blocks can be exchanged for one Slablet.

The Postal System of Xarslasja has been a role model for several months (in that it was one of the first since The Raid), and the revamp of April 2024 has made it comply with Annwan's Mail Route. The Yuɱa Post Office is located at 107 X. Dunxaum Juma, just north of the Yuɱa [[List of Warps|Warp]], making for quick shipping by land, rail, or teleportation. The Blythe Shipping Center at the Xarslasja Port Authority Tower, managed by a villager known as "The Griddy," also had mailboxes for those who collected and sent mail via boat. The Port Authority Tower was destroyed by a terrorist during the Coup Sabah, and a new building was constructed on the east side of the river.

Bezuv Agma Schwa has ensured that every type of Villager Specialization is available somewhere in Xarslasja, making exploration of the various towns in the region helpful for many travellers looking to improve their craft.

In September 2024, Xarslasja adopted the [[Puan Unity Argent]] as an official currency in addition to the Slab.

==Transit==
[[File:Yumastation.png|thumb|Yuma Station, Xarslasja' first [[Cenrail]] station.]](Main article: [[Transportation in Xarslasja]])

Due to the rapid and grand expansion of Xarslasjan civilization in a short amount of time, the transit systems of Xarslasja have been described in many ways, ranging from "quirky" to "garbage." Nevertheless, transit is key to the functioning of Xarslasja's economy.

=== Rail ===
Xarslasja is served by [[Cenrail]] at Yuɱa Station, Ngibraltar Station, Flagstaff Station, Sedona Station, and Ash Fork Station. These serve as the primary rapid rail transit to the rest of the world.
[[File:Nguhcraft local rail draft.png|thumb|A rough draft map showing the state of local transit in Xarslasja as of early April 2025.]]
Within Xarslasja, there are three major internal, one-lane rail lines: the [[Core Xarslasja Line]], the [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]], and the [[Acacialands Line]].

The Core Line has a nexus in Yuɱa which branches in four directions to Tempe, Payson, Yuɱa Station, and Blythe. It is currently being revamped significantly.

The [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]] begins in Payson and ends in Blythe, with stations in [[Ajo]], [[Nogales]], [[Flagstaff]], and [[Arcosanti]].

The [[Acacialands Line]] connects [[Sedona]] to [[Sun City West]].

A [[Leshrail]] stop exists in [[Surprise]].

=== Boat Transit ===
Boat travel is also quite easy throughout Xarslasja, as most settlements are located next to major bodies of water with docks built in. International travel is quite easy along the [[Salt River]] and [[Blue River]].

=== Roads ===
[[Operation: Mingling]] set up a network of roads and bridges webbing every side of the country. This was done to make transit and navigation possible across the vast swaths of land that were recently annexed.
[[File:Xarslasja rail map.png|thumb|Map of the Xarslasjan Local Rails, created by [[sq]] of [[Cenrail]]'s Design Department]]
In November 2024, the Bezuv made an international decree to the nations of the continent of Thasusa to improve land routes, called the "[[Thasusa By Land Initiative]]." The program began to pick up steam in January 2025, and Xarslasja won the contract to construct roads in [[Pua region|Pua]] after its [[Repunification]]. By July 2025, Thasusa By Land had taken the continent by the storm, with roads being constructed or integrated all over the northern part of the continent.

In September 2025, after much popular demand, the Bezuv decided to begin the process of converting Xarslasja Local Rails from one-lane lines to two-lane lines, beginning with a complete dismantling and revamp of the Yuma Nexus Station. Upon completion, it will be connected to the Yuma CenRail Station and be much more user-friendly.

=== Ghastports ===
''(see [[List of ghastports]] for more details about Xarslasjan ghastport locations)''

In November 2025, Xarslasja's first Ghastport was completed - the Yuma Ghastport 4-Port Hub at 201 Djaxeu Zlom, at the northernmost point of the city.

Soon later, to finish off the supply of Adnarian copper purchased for the [[Copper Festival]], 4 more ghastports were built in [[Flagstaff]], [[San Tan Valley]], [[Anthem]], and [[Ashton]]. The ghastport in Ashton, [[Muwewesja Ghastport]], is the largest, with 6 ghast bays. Another was built in [[Far Harbor]] after the proclamation of the new nation of [[Polnareff Land]].

The ghastports of Xarslasja are:

* Yuma Ghastport, Yuma (4-port)
** take the M25 north from the Yuma CenRail
* Coconino County Ghastport, Flagstaff (2-port)
** take the main street north from Flagstaff CenRail
* Blue River Ghastport, San Tan Valley (2-port)
** take the X30 to the Pua-Xarslasja border at the [[Blue River]]
* Muwewesja Ghastport, Ashton (6-port)
** take the west bridge from Thunan Ngace to Ashton
* Carefree Ghastport, Anthem (2-port)
** take the X19 south from Ash Fork CenRail
*Far Harbor Ghastport, Far Harbor (2-port)
**it's one of the only three things on the island
*Tempe Ghastport (2-port)
**along the X40, directly next to the Tempe [[Core Xarslasja Line]] Station
*Colorado-Laughlin Ghasport (2-port)
**take Xidmex Zlaffwin north from the X40 or sail up the Colorado River from Yuma or Quartzsite

== International Relations ==
''See [[Tempe]], [[Diplomatic Relations of Xarslasja]]''

Xarslasja has a large network of interngational relations. A member of the [[United Ŋations]], Xarslasja occasionally provides input on international issues, while remaining mostly focused on the economic value of the [[Petrified Oak Slab]] and on the transit systems of [[Thasusa]]. The government of Xarslasja is largely friendly toward most nations, the only exceptions being those who supported the [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]], such as [[Tauranga Puawai]] and the [[Realm of Madness]], though even these relations have largely warmed up since the execution of [[Gu Sabah]].

The city of [[Tempe]] is the host to a large and growing array of embassies with other nations. The northern portion of the city, especially along Xidmex Bauxawa and Sljaudmeu Sjedonna is known as “[[Embassy Row]],” though county and National Forest boundaries forced a new block of embassies to be constructed on the south side of the city. Only one embassy is currently located outside of Tempe, that being Xarslasja’s first international embassy: the embassy to the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]]. This first embassy was constructed in [[Yuɱa]] just after the completion of the Yuma [[Cenrail (company)|Cenrail]] station, before Tempe had even been built.

== Demographics ==
The cities and towns of Xarslasja are populated primarily with villagers and Golems, though the towns in former [[Þunan Qumreá]] territory have a small population of Allays. The most popular language, by far, is [[Arodjun]], though there are multiple languages spoken by some that are being considered for legal minority status.

=== Population ===
As of the October-November 2025 Xarslasja Census, the largest city, by far, is Yuma. The most populous cities by villager count are:

# [[Yuɱa]]; ~ 85 villagers
# [[Tempe]]; ~ 35 villagers
# [[Blythe]]; ~ 30 villagers
# [[Flagstaff]]; ~ 30 villagers
# [[Nogales]]; ~ 25 villagers
# [[Ashton]]; ~ 20 villagers
# [[Quartzsite]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Ajo]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Anthem]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Sedona]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Sun City West]]; ~ 12 villagers

The census is still ongoing, but it is currently assumed that every other town in Xarslasja has 10 or fewer permanent villagers.

=== Language ===
[[Arodjun]] and [[English]] are co-official languages in Xarslasja. Most signage and official documentation is written in either of these two languages. Due to proximity with [[Pua]] and the annexation of [[Þunan Qumreá]] territories, there are now multiple minority languages, including [[German]], [[Maori]], [[Toki Pua]], [[Śácamþaśá]], [[Saxish]], and [[Kyawcenni]].

'''Needle Rock''' (Arodjun: ''Xijontaum djoDux'') is a village located entirely in a tower constructed under a formerly floating island in the western "Gila" region of [[Xarslasja]], west of [[Blythe]] and near the future site of [[Arcosanti]].

[[File:Xijontaum djoDux.webp|thumb|Xijontaum djoDux from land]]

The village contains about 8 villagers and is a commune ruled officially by Bezuv Agma Schwa, but there is no formal regulation there.

'''Xarslasja''' ([ˈxaɾˌɬa.sʲə]), officially the "'''People's Republic of Xarslasja'''" ([[Arodjun]] ''Xaudixaum Xarslasjabwa'') is a country centered in the Xu Arslaum Desert, southwest of [[spawn]]. It was created by Agma Schwa. [[Yuɱa]], [[Payson]], [[Blythe]], [[Quartzsite]], [[Tempe]], [[Flagstaff]], [[Nogales]], [[Ajo]], [[Needle Rock]], [[Sedona]], [[Arcosanti]], [[Nothing]], [[Greer]], [[Buckeye]], [[Sun City West]], [[San Tan Valley]], [[Havasu Island]], [[Tucson]], [[Naco]], [[Apache Junction]], [[Clifton]], [[Ashton|Ashton,]] [[Tunnan]], [[Puoria]], [[Show Low|Show Low,]] [[Xar Harbor]], and [[Far Harbor]] are some of the cities and towns located in Xarslasja. The name is [[Arodjun]] in origin and roughly means "big desert area" or "Great Desert Land."

Xarslasja is a member of the [[United Ŋations]], the [[Thasusan Union]], and the [[South Thasusan Common Market Agreement]].

==History==
''(see [[History of Xarslasja]] for more)''

=== Pre-History ===
Within Xarslasja's current borders, there are two settlements that generated naturally: the sites of [[Yuɱa|Yuma]] and [[Flagstaff]]. [[Sun City West]] is located just across the [[Verde River]] from a natural village now in [[Pua]]'s control - once called the "Free City of Deming," and later renamed "[[Sun City]]."

During the early days of the world, the area that would become Xarslasja was largely left alone. In Wool Park, Yuma, you can see one protected piece of white wool, which represents perhaps the only evidence of a player interacting with the landscape before Agma Schwa arrived.

Near the current site of [[Nothing]], an old base, attributed to Gweng, existed on top of a butte. It was apparently taken apart well before The Raid, according to Gweng.

Some areas in [[Coconino County]] seem suspiciously flat, as if the spaces were leveled manually. This has not been proven, though there are some caves nearby that had torches in them by the time Agma Schwa explored the area.

In [[Mohave County]], the famous sites of the "Burnt House" and the "Dwarven Mines" can be found in [[Ashton]].

Additionally, the foundations for a base attributed to "Tach3on" can be found in western [[Santa Cruz County]]. It is unknown who Tach3on was, but, nevertheless, the site has been protected.

===Pre-UNg Period===

After The Raid led to the destruction of [[Phoeŋix]], [[Nguhtropolis]], and much of the infrastructure of the [[Old Kingdom]], the prior political order of the server had been reduced to nothing. In the months following November 2023, several new villages began to emerge closer to the [[Spawn]].

Agma Schwa continued living in the ruins of the Old Kingdom’s [[Five-Village Network]] until January of 2024, when he decided to migrate to a desert south of the Spawn. This desert hosted a seemingly-uncontacted village, which was named “Yuɱa,” after the city in the real-world state of Arizona.

Around January 4th, 2024, Agma Schwa assumed the role of [[Agamashuya I]] as the [[Bezuv]] of the "Bezuvate of Xarslasja."

In late January, a [[Cenrail]] extension was built to Yuɱa.

In February, construction began on the town of [[Blythe]] on the other side of the [[Colorado River]], centered around the old Port Authority of Yuɱa. With multiple towns under construction, the region was dubbed “Xarslasja” (Arodjun for “Great Desert Land”) and the land declared intent on joining the United ŋations.

In March, construction began on the cities of [[Tempe]], [[Quartzsite]], and [[Payson]]. These cities and town make up "Core Xarslasja" or "Mainland Xarslasja," though technically [[Blythe]] is on the west side of the Colorado River.

In late March 2024, the [[Great Desert Bank]] opened, allowing for Xarslasja to make transactions in [[Slab|Slabs]] for the first time.

On April 1st, 2024, the Yuɱa Post Office was remodeled to follow the standards of Annwan's Mail Route. The [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] was also re-opened with the construction of the Port Authority Tower in Blythe.

===Early Bezuvate (2024)===

On April 2nd, 2024, Xarslasja was admitted into the [[United Ŋations]] by a unanimous 6-0 vote.

From there, dozens of towns were built and the borders of the nation gradually expanded, especially with the dissolutions of countries like [[Pais Transanguino Ranitino]] and [[Murbetia]].

As the country grew larger and larger, the power of the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] under [[Gu Sabah]] increased and the disagreements of the [[Xarslasja Legislature]] grew deeper and more fundamental.

Eventually, Gu Sabah began assuming political power outside of his role as [[Dmacixuv]], taking over [[La Paz County]] outright and claiming dominion over much of [[Gila County]], including the [[Shea Island]] Naval Complex that he used as his headquarters. This culminated in the [[Coup Sabah]] in October 2024, during which Gu Sabah besieged the palace of his father, the [[Bezuv]] Agamashuya I. After a series of armed conflicts culminating in the [[Battle of Flagstaff]], Gu Sabah's movement became the [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]], a separatist group that lasted until May of 2025.

After this conflict, [[Coconino County]] went into direct military rule and the Xarslasja Port Authority was abolished. The nation gradually returned to peace and the cities and infrastructure expanded.

=== Late Bezuvate (2025-26) ===
Throughout 2025, the nation focused heavily on infrastructure, both locally and internationally. The original transit systems of the nation were, as many called them, "scuffed." The Bezuv initiated government projects such as [[Operation: Mingling]], the [[Xarslasja Transit Revolution]], and [[Operation: Usable Transit]]. The Bezuvate also led the charge on the first wave of the [[Thasusa By Land Initiative]], a continent-spanning road network to make land travel safe and convenient for long distances across countries.

In May 2025, [[Gu Sabah]] was finally defeated during the [[Battle of Tucson]]. The city was destroyed and Gu Sabah was put in a publicly visible cell at Central Yard in Yuma. The [[Gu Sabah KILLFEST]] then took place, where tourists could kill Gu Sabah repeatedly to collect souvenir heads. Finally, he was hanged in a gallows in [[Oracle]].

In the fall of 2025, Xarslasja grew again. The nation of [[Þunan Qumreá]] declined and finally collapsed into a period of Warlords and chaos. New nations formed in its midst, and finally Xarslasja was granted the remaining territory, notably including the culturally significant city of [[Ashton]]. This became the [[Tunnan Military District]]. The nations of the Thasusan Continent also came together during the fall of 2025 under the banner of the [[Thasusan Union]], with its headquarters at [[Þunan Ŋáce]]. This growth in territory led to the next political conflict in Xarslasja that eventually led to the government's collapse: the [[Census Rush]].

The [[Counties of Xarslasja]] demanded reapportionment of the Legislature to reflect the changes in population in various parts of the country, and the prospect of creating two new counties ([[Mohave County]] and [[Cochise County]]) from the Tunnan District made many smaller counties afraid that they'd further lose power in the government. Citizens of these smaller counties created "filibusters," notably the [[Gila County Filibuster]], the [[Pima County Filibuster]] and the [[Yavapai County Filibuster]] that developed the towns of [[Ashton]], [[Tunnan]], and [[Show Low]] respectively.

In December, the [[Jolly Blackout]] and [[Hacking Plague]] occurred. The entire population of [[Arcosanti]] was wiped out, including the Bezuv Agamashuya I, though news of the Beuv's death was kept hidden for nearly three months.

In January 2026, the reapportionment occurred and the new coutnies were created. Noting the Bezuv's absence, many counties began working on unauthorized construction projects and other political missions, ignoring federal authority. In response to this, House Speaker [[Jodai Wemmi]] took steps to give her position more power during periods of absence of the Bezuv. Notably, the "Absentia Statute" gave her the tie-breaking vote and the ability to act as executive on construction projects with no Bezuv present. This gradually led to further chaos until the Legislature was unable to handle the crisis brewing in [[Santa Cruz County]].

In early 2026, the [[United Ŋations]] released two world maps that showed conflicting boundaries between Xarslasja and [[Pua]] at Santa Cruz County. As an unauthorized construction project, residents of Nogales made encampments and fences at [[Hayden's Ferry]], a cove widely considered the Xarslasja-Pua border, and many even expanded beyond it to pedantically follow the exact boundary marker of one of the two maps. Pua began responding to this apparent aggression and fed into the country's nationalistic [[Greater Pua]] Movement. In March, they took [[Florence Island]] and [[Shea Island]] to help Xarslasja "quell their rebellion." The dysfunctional Legislature was unable to contain Santa Cruz County ''or'' declare war on Pua, and Wemmi asserted that Pua was a friend, not a foe.

By April, Jodai Wemmi was removed from the Legislature and exiled from the country, and [[Akuv]] [[Ngu]] (slave to creativity) became the highest ranking official. This brief period under his control became known as the "Akuvate of Xarslasja." He arrested most of the Legislature and sent them to the newly built [[Schwa-shank Military Prison]] in [[Eager]], besieged the Puan island of [[Puoria]], and began negotiations for land swaps with Pua. On May 4th, he embarked on a "goodwill" tour of the military occupied [[Coconino County]]. While giving a speech at the [[Flagstaff]] Ghastport, protesters broke the military barricade and trampled Ngu to death. Further rebellion and chaos spread in Xarslasja, and now there again was no head of government. [[Dmacixuv]] [[Sjarm Adax]] ended up ''de facto'' head of government, and immediately continued working on the peace deal with Pua.

=== Pua's 51-Minute Annexation and ''Xaudixaum Xarslasjabwa'' ===
Sjarm Adax immediately entered negotiations with Pua, continuing the process Ngu had begun. On the evening of May 6th, General Secretary [[Peaches]] Ariki-Rino of Pua agreed to the Ngu-Adax Peace Plan, and agreed to help Xarslasja get itself back on its feet, albeit with express Pro-Pua support henceforth. Adax conceded the island of [[Bar Harbor]] and the entire eastern half of [[Santa Cruz County]] (including the eastern half of [[Nogales]]) to Pua. In turn, Pua gave the lighthouse island of [[Puoria]] back to Xarslasja, and a massive chunk of mountainous land at the former Xarslasja-[[Nāroňpār]]-Pua tripoint frontier, formerly the northern reaches of the [[Whenua-Kāo-Ua Oblast]].

In order to seal the deal and allow for the reestablishment of an unquestionably new, legitimate government (that favors Pua), Peaches and Adax collaborated in the dissolution of the "Bezuvate of Xarslasja" and its "annexation" by Pua from 6:36PM to 7:27PM (a total of 51 minutes), before Peaches made a public statement announcing that it was an "outrageous declaration from the Dmacixuv Sjarm Adax" that Pua would ever engage in such expansionism, and that Xarslasja now was the "People's Republic of Xarslasja," or in Arodjun, ''Xaudixaum Xarslasjabwa'', with Sjarm Adax as the head of state and government with the newly-established title of "[[Xaudixuv]]", roughly translating to "Leader of the Nation."

Another 30-ish minutes later, Sjarm Adax gave himself the regnal title [[Agamashuya II]] and abolished the [[Xarslasja Legislature]]. Plans were set in motion to replace it with a "Council of Constituent Counties (CCC)," and a "declaration of eternal friendship" with Pua was made official, as well. Henceforth, Puan citizens would have the same rights as Xarslasjunnou.

Following this evening of chaos, the international reaction was wild. Multiple nations had been participating in the conflict at the defense of the old Bezuvate government. Most of them quickly put out official statements that, while they disapproved of the outcome, they would lower their arms and depart their troops from the region. Many were confused by the situation of the tenuous condominium of [[Surprise]].

=== Xaudixaum Peace (2026) ===
As the situation calmed down, the situation with Surprise was clarified after the [[Kozdenen]] government built a comically large tower in the territory, marking by far the tallest building in Xarslasja.

In late May, [[Operation: Usable Transit]] was put back into motion, with every major local line being converted into functional two-lane rails. New lines were planned to make high-speed lines connecting Yuma directly to [[Far Harbor]] in the west and [[Sun City West]] in the east. The Friendship Canal (working title) broke ground in late May as well.

Agamashuya II also determined it would best serve the administrative structure and practical purposes of the nation to expand [[Pinal County]] to include the new territory in the far east, dissolve [[Santa Cruz County]] and incorporate it into Coconino County, and to dissolve [[Pima County]] and absorb it into [[La Paz County]]. This process took effect on July 10th, 2026.

On July 27th, 2026, the [[United Ŋations]] was officially dissolved by a vote of 23-8. Agamashuya II stated support for the motion, but did not cast an official vote. He then immediately offered Xarslasja's entry into its two successor organizations, the [[UNgSO]] and the [[IFECS]], while emphasising the importance of the [[Thasusan Union]] for Xarslasja's international relations.

In September 2026, the Xaudixuv, in junction with the Constituent Council of Yuma County, authorized the construction of [[Djobom University]] in the undeveloped southernmost strip of the city of Yuma. Ground broke on September 13th.

==Ecology==
The most densely populated region of Xarslasja is known as "[[Core Xarslasja]]," located in a desert biome on the southeast coast of the [[Agmatic Ocean]].

North of Core Xarslasja are rolling savannas and forests that reach the northern border of the nation. There is also the notable [[Painted Desert]], home to the (future) town of [[Sedona]] and the ruins of a former base destroyed during [[The Raid]], now known as [[Nothing]]. At the extreme northwest, in the Agmatic Ocean, there are several grassy islands that make up the area known as the [[Carefree Isles]].

To the south is the [[Djobom Sea]], which features a few major islands within Xarslasja territory, including [[Why Island]] and [[Ajo]].

The southern and western landmasses which contain the towns of [[Nogales]] and [[Flagstaff]] respectively are mostly savannas and plains full of acacias. The land surrounding Flagstaff in particular is home to many species of animals not found elsewhere in Xarslasja territory. A small swamp can be found right along the edge of Flagstaff.

To the north, Xarslasja shares a border with [[Patra]], [[Moshas]], [[Nāroňpār]], the [[Thasusan Union]]'s Zone of Thunan Ngace, and a sea border with [[Maraśa]]'s exclave. The northernmost regions of Xarslasja are forests, jungles, and jungle hills annexed from [[Þunan Qumreá]]. These areas are not desert at all (save for a small stretch of sand near Faupinudmair), and are jokingly referred to as ''Xukidmausja'' "The Great Forest Land."

=== Bodies of Water ===
There are several rivers/straits (AR: ''wifawa'') in or partially in Xarslasja:

* [[Oak River]]
* [[Blue River]]
* [[Verde River]]
* [[Salt River]]
* [[Colorado River]]
* [[Gila River]]
* Ajasiq River

There are only a few natural lakes in Xarslasja larger than puddles:

* [[Saguaro Lake]]
* Rankadmair
* Faupinudmair
The main seas surrounding Xarslasja are:

* [[Agmatic Ocean]]
* [[Djobom Sea]]
* [[Puna Nui]]
* [[Hilja Sea]]
* [[Hwjengh Hak]] (surrounding [[Far Harbor]])

=== Mountains and Other Terrain ===
On land, there are several mountains and other geological features of note:

* [[South Mountain]]
* Estrella Mountains
* Mogollon Rim
* Cave Creek Canyon
* [[Painted Desert]]

=== National Forests and Ecological Preserves ===
''(see [[National Forests of Xarslasja]])''

To prevent the overexpansion of settlement over native desert ecosystems, a series of national forests were created by the Xarslasja Legislature:

* [[Tonto National Forest]]
* [[Coconino National Forest]]
* [[Verde Jungle National Forest]]
* [[South Mountain Ecological Preserve]]
* [[Gila River Ecological Preserve]]
* [[Ajo National Forest]]

=== Ecological Crises ===
The desert (Xu Arslau) from which Xarslasja gets its name is at risk of disappearing due to the encroachment of the Yuma-Tempe metro area along with the Bezuv's [[Greenification]] program. While the Xarslasjan cactus population is still sufficient in the Painted Desert's Red Desert biome, there are fewer and fewer natively grown cacti in the normal sand as sand spaces continue to shrink.

In January 2025, the [[Xarslasja Deadshrub]] and the Xarslasja Cactus were declared Protected Species.

==Culture==

Core Xarslasja is located in a desert biome surrounded by bodies of water. One of the notable features of the region are the manually-planted oak and acacia trees placed across the desert and the grass planted across the riverbed of the Colorado River.

Yuɱa, Tempe, Quartzsite, Payson, Needle Rock, and Blythe are populated with villagers, and the infrastructure of these cities is designed to accomodate their needs above all.

Yuɱa has a complete street address system, wherein every street has a name (in Arodjun) and every building has an address based on the cardinal direction and proximity of the building relative to the central square.

In regions surrounding Xarslasja, especially along coastlines, small monuments of stone can be found pointing towards Yuɱa for navigational purposes.

The most common building material used in Xarslasja is sandstone, with most works of architecture containing terracotta, copper blocks, and birch wood. Most windows are made of glass blocks instead of panes, for improved insulation from the desert heat.

===Religion===

The religion of Xarslasja is a blend of [[Ætérnalism]] with the traditional Fwonnel practices of [[Bez]]. This synchronism merges the belief that [[Ætérnal]] is a divine being worth revering and fearing and that the goal of a civilization should be to achieve and maintain a state of "Bez," which can be thought of as "balance," or, more specifically, "sustainable terraforming."

An Ætérnal Shrine can be found atop [[South Mountain]], just south of Yuɱa.

=== Entertainment and Media ===
Xarslasjan citizens often engage in hiking, cross-country horseriding, swimming, and Spleef.

[[Arslaum Radio]] is a popular news and entertainment radio station and written publication. While not state-owned and prone to spreading tabloid gossip, the publication is generally supportive of the decisions of the Bezuv.

== Tourism and Sites ==
People come form all over the world to admire Xarslasja's complex cities, rich culture, and unorthodox CenRail Stations. In addition to this, there are many sites of note throughout the country:

* [[Jomax Stadium|'''Jomax Stadium''']], [[Anthem]]
* A'''nthem Grand Hotel''', Anthem
* '''Xarslasja Legislature Building''', Yuma
* [[Ləŋdəŋ Bridge|'''Ləŋdəŋ Bridge''']], [[Havasu Island]]

[[File:View of Juma.png|thumb|View of Juma from the eastern edge of town (circa March 2024)]]

Since May 2026, Xarslasja is a communistic military dictatorship, euphemistically called ''Xaudixaum'' (literally "the nation/the culture"). It is led by the ''[[Xaudixuv]]'', [[Agamashuya II]]. In English, the phrase "People's Republic of Xarslasja" is used. The Republic aspect, in this sense, refers to what the Xaudixuv calls the [[Council of Constituent Counties]] (CCC). Counties each have their own "advisory boards" that inform decisions specific to the needs of their territories.

From January 2024 to May 2026, Xarslasja ''was'' a Bezuvate, a military-civil union run by Bezuv Agma Schwa, the Lord Terraformer of the Desert (''Bezuv Xarslasjabwa'', lit. "Ruler of Balance of the Desert Region").

Each populated center in Xarslasja is led by Unubuv (lit. "city rulers, mayors").

=== Foundations ===
The government of Xarslasja has a habit of establishing Embassies in independent villages to establish good relations and provide the Xarslasjunkou with places to stay during travel abroad. The first four Embassies were established during the [[Western Cherry Expedition]] of March 23-25, 2024.

Upon joining the United Ŋations, the borders of Xarslasja were expanded, nearly tripling its land area, to include several islands throughout the [[Djobom Sea]] and the entirety of the landmass the desert is situated on and meeting borders with [[Þunan Qumreá]] at the former territory of the [[Pais Transanguino Ranitino]].

In June, the landmass to the southwest of Core Xarslasja containing [[Flagstaff]] (the first unclaimed village given a Xarslasja Embassy during the Western Cherry Expedition) was officially incorporated into the Bezuvate. This was followed in July by several large annexations to the southeast.
[[File:Yuma-city.png|thumb|A view of Yuma, with the [[Xarslasja Legislature]] Building visible in the background.]]
The Territory of Ŋibraltar is a joint-administrated district located on the southernmost tip of Anthem Island in the Carefree Isles. It is mostly managed by the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]], but is controlled equally by both nations.

=== Counties ===
In August 2024, the eleven [[Counties of Xarslasja]] were officially marked on a map. These counties have set amounts of representatives in the [[Xarslasja Legislature]].

After annexing territory from the disbanded [[Þunan Qumreá]], the [[Tunnan Military District]] was created. From this land, two new proposed counties were slated for establishment at the beginning of 2026: [[Mohave County]] and [[Cochise County]]. They became incorporated in February 2026.

=== Hymn of Xarslasja ===
The national pledge of Xarslasja, known as the [[Hymn of Xarslasja]], goes as follows:

"With our artifacts from the distant past, we build the future"

'''''Ca mjanjawa zlaxr bwa k'au djoxux, doumma mo'ijau jiomja.'''''

"From the children of the Old Kingdom, we promote Bez"

'''''Bwa birxawa Pobunbwa Qloex, toffema Bez jiomja.'''''

"For the bounty of the people, we praise the Bezuv and Ætérnal"

'''''Inai pairoxau mjarxwaubwa, inoffima Bezuv wu Ateernau jiomja.'''''

==Economy==
[[File:Colorado-office.png|thumb|Port Colorado and the Colorado River Post Office, December 2024.]]
The Economy of Xarslasja has two major focuses: Raw Materials and Transit. Being located in a desert, supplies like sand and sandstone are often bartered or sold. The location of Xarslasja as the "gateway to the southern hemisphere" has also made it an important stopping point for travellers by foot, rail, or boat. The [[Core Xarslasja Line|Core Xarslasja Line System]], with its main Terminus at the Yuɱa Line Station at 302 Ameu Kazlikk, provides rapid cart transit between the cities of Xarslasja, the Yuɱa CenRail Station, and the North Border.

Goods and services are exchanged for raw materials or for [[Slab|Slabs (POS)]] at the [[Great Desert Bank]] at the standards set by the [[Slab Exchange]]. Notably, as part of the "Greenification Project," one stack of Grass Blocks can be exchanged for one Slablet.

The Postal System of Xarslasja has been a role model for several months (in that it was one of the first since The Raid), and the revamp of April 2024 has made it comply with Annwan's Mail Route. The Yuɱa Post Office is located at 107 X. Dunxaum Juma, just north of the Yuɱa [[List of Warps|Warp]], making for quick shipping by land, rail, or teleportation. The Blythe Shipping Center at the Xarslasja Port Authority Tower, managed by a villager known as "The Griddy," also had mailboxes for those who collected and sent mail via boat. The Port Authority Tower was destroyed by a terrorist during the Coup Sabah, and a new building was constructed on the east side of the river.

Bezuv Agma Schwa has ensured that every type of Villager Specialization is available somewhere in Xarslasja, making exploration of the various towns in the region helpful for many travellers looking to improve their craft.

In September 2024, Xarslasja adopted the [[Puan Unity Argent]] as an official currency in addition to the Slab.

==Transit==
[[File:Yumastation.png|thumb|Yuma Station, Xarslasja' first [[Cenrail]] station.]](Main article: [[Transportation in Xarslasja]])

Due to the rapid and grand expansion of Xarslasjan civilization in a short amount of time, the transit systems of Xarslasja have been described in many ways, ranging from "quirky" to "garbage." Nevertheless, transit is key to the functioning of Xarslasja's economy.

=== Rail ===
Xarslasja is served by [[Cenrail]] at Yuɱa Station, Ngibraltar Station, Flagstaff Station, Sedona Station, and Ash Fork Station. These serve as the primary rapid rail transit to the rest of the world.
[[File:Nguhcraft local rail draft.png|thumb|A rough draft map showing the state of local transit in Xarslasja as of early April 2025.]]
Within Xarslasja, there are three major internal, one-lane rail lines: the [[Core Xarslasja Line]], the [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]], and the [[Acacialands Line]].

The Core Line has a nexus in Yuɱa which branches in four directions to Tempe, Payson, Yuɱa Station, and Blythe. It is currently being revamped significantly.

The [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]] begins in Payson and ends in Blythe, with stations in [[Ajo]], [[Nogales]], [[Flagstaff]], and [[Arcosanti]].

The [[Acacialands Line]] connects [[Sedona]] to [[Sun City West]].

A [[Leshrail]] stop exists in [[Surprise]].

=== Boat Transit ===
Boat travel is also quite easy throughout Xarslasja, as most settlements are located next to major bodies of water with docks built in. International travel is quite easy along the [[Salt River]] and [[Blue River]].

=== Roads ===
[[Operation: Mingling]] set up a network of roads and bridges webbing every side of the country. This was done to make transit and navigation possible across the vast swaths of land that were recently annexed.
[[File:Xarslasja rail map.png|thumb|Map of the Xarslasjan Local Rails, created by [[sq]] of [[Cenrail]]'s Design Department]]
In November 2024, the Bezuv made an international decree to the nations of the continent of Thasusa to improve land routes, called the "[[Thasusa By Land Initiative]]." The program began to pick up steam in January 2025, and Xarslasja won the contract to construct roads in [[Pua region|Pua]] after its [[Repunification]]. By July 2025, Thasusa By Land had taken the continent by the storm, with roads being constructed or integrated all over the northern part of the continent.

In September 2025, after much popular demand, the Bezuv decided to begin the process of converting Xarslasja Local Rails from one-lane lines to two-lane lines, beginning with a complete dismantling and revamp of the Yuma Nexus Station. Upon completion, it will be connected to the Yuma CenRail Station and be much more user-friendly.

=== Ghastports ===
In November 2025, Xarslasja's first Ghastport was completed - the Yuma Ghastport 4-Port Hub at 201 Djaxeu Zlom, at the northernmost point of the city.

Soon later, to finish off the supply of Adnarian copper purchased for the [[Copper Festival]], 4 more ghastports were built in [[Flagstaff]], [[San Tan Valley]], [[Anthem]], and [[Ashton]]. The ghastport in Ashton, [[Muwewesja Ghastport]], is the largest, with 6 ghast bays. Another was built in [[Far Harbor]] after the proclamation of the new nation of [[Polnareff Land]].

The ghastports of Xarslasja are:

* Yuma Ghastport, Yuma (4-port)
** take the M25 north from the Yuma CenRail
* Coconino County Ghastport, Flagstaff (2-port)
** take the main street north from Flagstaff CenRail
* Blue River Ghastport, San Tan Valley (2-port)
** take the X30 to the Pua-Xarslasja border at the [[Blue River]]
* Muwewesja Ghastport, Ashton (6-port)
** take the west bridge from Thunan Ngace to Ashton
* Carefree Ghastport, Anthem (2-port)
** take the X19 south from Ash Fork CenRail
*Far Harbor Ghastport, Far Harbor (2-port)
**it's one of the only three things on the island

== International Relations ==
''See [[Tempe]], [[Diplomatic Relations of Xarslasja]]''

Xarslasja has a large network of interngational relations. A member of the [[United Ŋations]], Xarslasja occasionally provides input on international issues, while remaining mostly focused on the economic value of the [[Petrified Oak Slab]] and on the transit systems of [[Thasusa]]. The government of Xarslasja is largely friendly toward most nations, the only exceptions being those who supported the [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]], such as [[Tauranga Puawai]] and the [[Realm of Madness]], though even these relations have largely warmed up since the execution of [[Gu Sabah]].

The city of [[Tempe]] is the host to a large and growing array of embassies with other nations. The northern portion of the city, especially along Xidmex Bauxawa and Sljaudmeu Sjedonna is known as “[[Embassy Row]],” though county and National Forest boundaries forced a new block of embassies to be constructed on the south side of the city. Only one embassy is currently located outside of Tempe, that being Xarslasja’s first international embassy: the embassy to the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]]. This first embassy was constructed in [[Yuɱa]] just after the completion of the Yuma [[Cenrail (company)|Cenrail]] station, before Tempe had even been built.

== Demographics ==
The cities and towns of Xarslasja are populated primarily with villagers and Golems, though the towns in former [[Þunan Qumreá]] territory have a small population of Allays. The most popular language, by far, is [[Arodjun]], though there are multiple languages spoken by some that are being considered for legal minority status.

=== Population ===
As of the October-November 2025 Xarslasja Census, the largest city, by far, is Yuma. The most populous cities by villager count are:

# [[Yuɱa]]; ~ 85 villagers
# [[Tempe]]; ~ 35 villagers
# [[Blythe]]; ~ 30 villagers
# [[Flagstaff]]; ~ 30 villagers
# [[Nogales]]; ~ 25 villagers
# [[Ashton]]; ~ 20 villagers
# [[Quartzsite]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Ajo]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Anthem]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Sedona]]; ~ 15 villagers
# [[Sun City West]]; ~ 12 villagers

The census is still ongoing, but it is currently assumed that every other town in Xarslasja has 10 or fewer permanent villagers.

=== Language ===
[[Arodjun]] and [[English]] are co-official languages in Xarslasja. Most signage and official documentation is written in either of these two languages. Due to proximity with [[Pua]] and the annexation of [[Þunan Qumreá]] territories, there are now multiple minority languages, including [[German]], [[Maori]], [[Toki Pua]], [[Śácamþaśá]], [[Saxish]], and [[Kyawcenni]].

It was established by the [[Pima County Filibuster]] in late 2025.

== Transit ==
Tunnan sits along the [[Thasusa By Land Initiative]] M25 "Ashway." A Horse Stable is available at the entrance to the town along the M25.

At the town center there's an underground rail station that features a stop along the [[Core Xarslasja Line]], which can get you to Ashton in 10 seconds or to Yuma in under a minute.

Ashton ([[Śácamþaśá]]: ''Fájaþáw''; [[Saxish]]: ''Æscetoun''; [[Arodjun]]: ''Azkketun'') is a town located in eastern [[Mohave County]], [[Tunnan Military District]], [[Xarslasja]] in the former Muwewśáj region of [[Þunan Qumreá]]. Upon the incorporation of Mohave County, it will almost certainly be its county seat. It was the location of one of the prominent parts of [[The Great Heist]].

It features several archeological sites , some from before [[The Raid]]. After the region's annexation by Xarslasja during the [[Reintegration Sessions]], the area was brought to order by the [[Xarslasja Terrestrial Army]] and brush was cleared for the construction of a military base and more civilian accommodations.

== Transit ==
The Ashton Rail Station along the T50 features the Tunnan Rapid Access Line, which carries passenger directly to and from [[Yuma]] in under 20 seconds. The [[Core Xarslasja Line]] also ends at the Ashton Rail Station.

Directly adjacent to the Ashton Rail Station is the [[List of ghastports|Muwewesja Ghastport,]] the highest-capacity ghastport in Xarslasja with 6 ports. For this reason, ghast users often park at Ashton and take the rail directly to Yuma, as it's quite literally quicker than using the Yuma Ghastport (which requires a ~45 second walk from [[Yuma Nexus]]).

[[Thasusa By Land Initiative]] roads that pass through Ashton are the M25 and the T50. A horse stable is available along the river shore next to the Ashton Rail Station.

A narrow canal can take sailors from the Ajasiq River to Faupinudmair and Rankadmair, connecting to [[Show Low]] in under two minutes.

Nogales (Arodjun: ''Nokazzleun'') is a city located at the southern border of [[Xarslasja]] with [[Pua]], part of [[Coconino County]].

It is split into an Eastern District and a Western District by the Djobom Channel, only connected by the [[Nogales Bridge]]. East Nogales is now a part of Pua.
[[File:Nogales Bridge.png|thumb|left|The Nogales Bridge in July 2024]]
The city is connected to the rest of Xarslasja and thus the rest of the world by the [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]] and its economy was managed by the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] until it was commandeered by the [[Xarslasja Legislative Authority]].

Tucson (Arodjun: ''Tusann/Tussan'') was a city in western [[Coconino County]], [[Xarslasja]] along the [[Oak River]] border with [[Pua]].

It had a port (operated by the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] before its destruction), several smokehouses and breweries, and is the home of two (now damaged) major art installations, the "Glowing Fountain" and the "Glory of Coconino."

The city was small in geographic area but boasted a villager population of approximately 25 at its height.

Unfortunately, the city today is essentially a ghost town. The city was one of the central headquarters for the XPA and [[Gu Sabah]] during the [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]] in late 2024-early 2025. When it became clear that the [[Xarslasja Legislative Authority]] would soon beseige the city, the villager population was evacuated to the nearby town of [[Naco]].

During the [[Battle of Tucson]], the Oak River was blockaded and weeks of bloody conflict ensued. Many buildings were destroyed by TNT cannons and dozens of fighters died. The XPA building was razed and several towers were obliterated. Ultimately, Gu Sabah was captured in a tunnel between Tucson and Naco and the XPA was defeated and abolished.

Damaged buildings were given basic repairs to maintain structural integrity and safety for future visitors, but the city was left essentially abandoned.

The [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]], which was rendered unusable during the battle, was rerouted around the TNT craters and battle trenches, thus passing directly through the ruins of Tucson. There is now a rudimentary stop at the original Tucson gate, though not many visit the site.

As of late 2025, Tucson is still largely abandoned. A few villagers returned to the south end of the city and constructed some farms in areas of former forest that were burned during the battle.
