== {{SITENAME}}! ==
''For the ŋerds who keep on gaming''

Are you bored or procrastinating? This is the perfect place for you!

== What is Nguhcraft? ==
[[Nguhcraft]] is a minecraft server hosted by [[Ætérnal]] and is the namesake of [[Agma Schwa]], run around Agma's Discord Server. This wiki is maintained by many active members of the server and hopes to document the goings on of the server and the many entities within. On Nguhcraft, players have been creating countries, building cities and monuments, and engaging in foreign relations with other countries for over a year now, much of which is documented on this wiki. It's pretty awesome.[''[[citation needed]]'']

The current server is Season 2 of Nguhcraft. [[Season 1]] was a previous server that was deleted, save for some important structures which were brought to the new server (with the exception of an Enderman farm, which will be placed in the End after the Ender Dragon is defeated).

The server has streams where its players used to go on adventures. Check out the [[Nguhcraft Streams|Nguhcraft Streams article]] for a summary of them or [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTFb--jT_XNkgTsmpKLUDdUOVGx2s_d9q&si=ncQooAI_5jSG8_B2 this unofficial playlist] to see the streams themselves!

== Wiki Accounts ==
{{Notice|In order to get an account for this wiki, you must have been a player on Nguhcraft (i.e. have the <code>@nguhcrafter</code> role on our Discord server) for at least 2 weeks. Once you are, ping Annwan or Ætérnal on the Discord server ''in the '''#minecraft''' channel'' and ask for an account. '''''Make sure to specify what username you want the account to have'''''. The first letter of the username has to be uppercase, and it cannot contain underscores. Also, please provide a link to a join message in '''#server-chat''' that is at least 2 weeks old. Once the account has been created, you’ll get a DM with the password on Discord.}}

== Countries ==
''See Also: [[List of sovereign states]]''

There are {{Country_number}} nondisputed [[country|sovereign states]] in the world of Nguhcraft, {{UNg number}} of which were [[United Ŋations]] members. The [[UnUŊ|Un-United Ŋations]] has an uncertain number of numbers due to some memberships being in a state of superposition. Before making your own [[ŋation]] or building/mining somewhere, it is important to be sure you have the latest information on the region you are claiming land in. To do this check the most recent available [[map]]. [[File:Ŋorld_Map_-_Suqi.png|thumb|Most recent map of the server]]Sometimes, it will not be perfectly updated, so look for new claims in the <code>#map-updates</code> channel or ask in the <code>#minecraft</code> channel for someone more aware to tell you if the location you choose is available. Also it should be said that ''you do not need a country at all''; it's not a prerequisite for playing. You may set up shop in another country (with permission!!) if you want. You can see a mostly up-to-date list of all the current countries in the [[List of sovereign states]].

'''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.

==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]]

=== 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:

[[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]].

Diplomatic Relations of Xarslasja

2026-07-20T15:53:25Z

BezuvNguh: /* Xarslasjan Embassies in Other Ngations */

The Bezuvate of [[Xarslasja]] has largely amicable relations with most of the ngations on [[Ngearth]]. As a show of goodwill between governments, Xarslasja hosts several embassies and has many of its own embassies in other countries.

== Allies and Enemies ==
Xarslasja is a member of the [[United Ŋations]], and occasionally participates in votes of international import. Most of the time, the Xarslasjan representative votes only on matters pertaining to new member entrance, economic matters related to the promulgation of the [[Petrified Oak Slab]] standard, and transit matters. Otherwise, most international communication is done with its neighbors, especially regarding transit and currency exchange.

As of July 2025, no country is generally considered an “enemy” of the Xarslasjan state. Relations soured with those who supported the [[Coup Sabah]], such as [[Tauranga Puawai]] (then [[West Pua]]) and the [[Realm of Madness]]. However, these tensions have calmed down since the execution of [[Gu Sabah]].

== International Embassies in Xarslasja ==
Nearly every embassy in Xarslasja is located in the city of [[Tempe]], the only exception being the embassy of the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]], which is located next to the Yuma Cenrail station.

List of embassies:

* [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]]
* [[Pua]]
* [[Tauranga Puawai]]
* [[Wánade]]
* [[Aprux Mexyrhat]]
* [[City State of Amuj]] (now defunct but preserved)
* [[Imerchal]]
* [[Nāroňpār]]
* [[Coldba (Cuba)]]

* [[Enkavak]]

* [[Xtrakva]]

* [[Kozdenen]] (unfinished)

* [[Þunan Qumreá|Thunan Qumrea]]

* [[Kaipa|Republic of Kaipa]]

* [[Ukoŋia]] (formerly the embassy of [[Yysh]])

* [[Wekañu-Skefo]]

* [[Krīpetēpla|Kripetepla]]

* [[T'anshilebs|T’anshileb]]<nowiki/>s
* [[Adnar]]

== Xarslasjan Embassies in Other Ngations ==
Many Xarslasjan embassies have been built in other nations, often as part of a “mutual embassies” deal made upon the completion of the Tempe embassy.

List of Xarslasjan embassies:

* [[Coldba (Cuba)]]
* [[Kozdenen]]
* [[City State of Amuj]] (now defunct, occupied by the last [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]] loyalists, and claimed as the embassy to [[Pua]])
* [[Maraśa]]
* [[Dróstsiśtsi]] (under construction)
* [[Enkavak]]
* [[Krīpetēpla]] (under construction)
* [[T'anshilebs]]

Diplomatic Relations of Xarslasja

2026-07-20T15:35:38Z

BezuvNguh:

The Bezuvate of [[Xarslasja]] has largely amicable relations with most of the ngations on [[Ngearth]]. As a show of goodwill between governments, Xarslasja hosts several embassies and has many of its own embassies in other countries.

== Allies and Enemies ==
Xarslasja is a member of the [[United Ŋations]], and occasionally participates in votes of international import. Most of the time, the Xarslasjan representative votes only on matters pertaining to new member entrance, economic matters related to the promulgation of the [[Petrified Oak Slab]] standard, and transit matters. Otherwise, most international communication is done with its neighbors, especially regarding transit and currency exchange.

As of July 2025, no country is generally considered an “enemy” of the Xarslasjan state. Relations soured with those who supported the [[Coup Sabah]], such as [[Tauranga Puawai]] (then [[West Pua]]) and the [[Realm of Madness]]. However, these tensions have calmed down since the execution of [[Gu Sabah]].

== International Embassies in Xarslasja ==

== History ==

=== Pre-History (before 2024) ===
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 (2024) ===
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.

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.

=== Expansion Period (2024) ===
On April 2nd, 2024, Xarslasja was admitted into the [[United Ŋations]] by a unanimous 6-0 vote. That day, the tentative plan for the Yuɱa Exchange Rate Commission was announced and grounds were broken for its construction.

Through early April 2024, significant infrastructure was constructed, including a full reconstruction and expansion of the Yuɱa CenRail Station and the creation of the [[Core Xarslasja Line|Core Xarslasja Line System]].

In late April 2024, the strange village of [[Needle Rock]] was opened near the future site of [[Arcosanti]], and Bezuv Agma Schwa's "ŋursery" from the previous Minecraft world was imported to Blythe by the witchcraft of [[Ætérnal]].

Xarslasja entered a state of [[June 2024 Xarslasja Recession|Recession]] on June 10th, 2024 due low a lack of banking transaction regulation and no system in place to make bank loans, after Elisa of Fishland put in an order for a whopping 100 slabs by sending 32 stacks of gold blocks to the [[Great Desert Bank]]. The vault of the entire nation of Xarslasja only contained 1 slab. The Bank exchanged one slab for one stack of gold blocks and returned the remaining stacks. Instantly insolvent, the Bezuv forced the temporary closure of the Bank and Exchange Commission until the vault is restored and a bank loan system in place.

After recuperating funds and changing transaction laws, the Bank quietly reopened on July 14th, 2024 with a transaction limit of 2 Slabs and a ban on mineral transactions.

In July 2024, The Bezuv made a deal with Quing [[Marcy I]] of [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen|Kyaw Cen]] to share a plot of land known as '''[[Ŋibraltar]],''' officially the "Territory of Ŋibraltar." This was done to augment economic ties with the maritime power and to express friendship between the two governments. Construction of Ŋibraltar was done by Kyaw Cen, though a rail line is planned to be split fro the Quartzsite Line Station to reach it and suburbs around it are likely to be built.

The borders of Xarslasja were expanded to fill in previously unclaimed space between [[Þunan Qumreá]] and [[Nāroňpār]] in July 2024. A month later, Xarslasja's [[Operation: Mingling]] created a network of roads to every corner of the nation, including to several international borders.

=== Consolidation Period (2024) ===
In August of 2024, the western nation of [[Murbetia]] formally disbanded, leaving what was the largest land claim in the world a power vacuum. Nearly instantly, several nations moved in. During this event, known as the [[Scramble for Murbetia]], Coldba became the primary beneficiary, claiming about 90% of Murbetia's main landmass. Xarslasja, in an attempt to expand its trade horizons and oceanic influence, purchased two islands off the north and east coasts of Murbetia for a grand total of One Slab (an act which was significant, since the land grabs earlier in the day had been officialized for free). These islands were named Bar Harbor and Far Harbor, and put under the direct authority of the Bezuv's son, Gu Sabah as head of the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]]. One island turned out to be claimed by West Pua, so negotiations on the eastern island began. The dispute was resolved within two days. Kate of Coldba remunerated the Bezuv for the false purchase of Bar Harbor. In exchange, Xar Harbor was purchased. Bar Harbor was retaken by West Pua for roughly 12 hours before a deal was struck for Xarslasja to gain official control of the land on Bar Harbor, in exchange for the handing over of the island of Peoria, located north of Arcosanti.

September 2024 saw the incorporation of [[Graham County]] and [[Greenlee County]], with their county seats being in [[Sun City West]] and [[Greer]], respectively. [[West Pua]] built an embassy to Xarslasja in Tempe, shortly before the [[Bezuv]] struck a deal with [[Skrungk]] to complete the [[CenRail]] tunnel from [[Allium]] to [[Flagstaff]]. [[East Pua]] made the Blue River fully navigable, allowing for unfettered naval travel between Xarslasja and the [[Sea of Fortune]] near [[Aylongam]]. Additionally, the Xarslasja Port Authority vastly expanded its power in late August and early September, with [[La Paz County]] coming under the full control of [[Gu Sabah]]. The construction of the [[Ləŋdəŋ Bridge]] created the first land transit link to a piece of La Paz County, connecting [[Coconino County]] to [[Havasu Island]]. The [[Shea Island]] Naval Complex was also completed, and this quickly became the main headquarters for the XPA despite it being located in [[Gila County]], rather than La Paz.

In October 2024, Gu Sabah laid seige to Arcosanti in an effort to overthrow his father, in an event known as the [[Coup Sabah]]. This set international relations into a tailspin, with several nations aligning explicitly with Gu Sabah, even those with embassies already constructed. A counter-seige was brought upon the Shea Island Naval Complex by the East Puan Navy, supported by the Republic of Shudrow in what the alliance called "[[Operation Bezuv Shield]]." With resources running out and the [[Nguhrovision Song Contest]] rapidly approaching, both sides began to move to finish this conflict ass quickly as possible.

=== Internal Strife (2024) ===
After weeks of the country struggling with the Coup Sabah, the Legislature held the controversial votes of [[The Emergency Sessions]], which led to Coconino County offering safe harbor to Gu Sabah and his supporters. A series of brutal battles on Shea Island, Arcosanti, Havasu Island, and finally the devastating [[Battle of Flagstaff]], the Legislative Authority and a multi-national coalition of allies was victorious. Gu Sabah and his supporters largely retreated to the islands of La Paz County and to [[Tucson]]. The government of Coconino County continued to be in a state of insubordinance, and as such the XLA set up plans for an occupation of the county until the rebels had been arrested (see [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]]).

Two public parks were opened to memorialize the conflict: [[Memorial Park]] in Flagstaff at the site of the crater from the most brutal fighting, and [[Griddy Park]] in Blythe where the original Blythe Port Authority Building was bombed on October 24th and the Master Gridmaker of Core Xarslasja, "Mr. Griddy," was indiscriminately killed in the blast.

On November 1st, the Bezuv signed a treaty with [[Þunan Qumreá]] converting the islands of [[Crown King]] (Fobuv) into a jointly-ruled condominium in order to create a more close military and economic relation with the nation, as they were a pivotal ally to Agamashuya I in the conflict and provided significant humanitarian aid.

On November 3rd, Xarslasja had a unifying moment when the nation's star musician, The Velar Nasal, earned the Bronze Medal in the [[2024 Nguhrovision Song Contest]].

Meanwhile, the [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]] continued as Tucson and all of La Paz County (except for [[Havasu Island]]) remained under the control of Gu Sabah and the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]]. The entity of the XPA was abolished by the Legislature and the use of its flag was declared illegal.

In December 2024, despite having not reclaimed [[Tucson]] or La Paz County, Xarslasja began to move on with business as usual. The Bezuv announced the [[Thasusa By Land Initiative]] to create horse-navigable roads throughout the continent, with several nations signing on. The Copper Palace was rebuilt using humanitarian aid materials, and Arcosanti was repopulated. New buildings were constructed in Xarslasja, and the [[Great Desert Bank]] was torn down, reconstructed, and combined with the Yuma Exchange Rate Commission. The new structure had the capacity to quickly update item pricing and sell and buy items in both Slabs (POS) and the Puan Unity Argent. New homes were built east of Yuma Station, leading to the real possibility that the metro areas of Yuma and Tempe could combine into a single desert megalopolis. In response, on December 12th, 2024, official city limits were drawn for Tucson and Yuma and a new, buffer city was announced - [[Oracle]].

2025 began with Xarslasja largely stable, other than the segment of Coconino County and La Paz County that were still considered to be under active [[Gu Sabah Insurgency|insurgency]]. Major road construction activity began in Xarslasja's goal to become a hub for the [[Thasusa By Land Initiative]]. [[Szlanty]] successfully extended the main roads of [[Nāroňpār|Naronpar]] to finally connect to northeastern Xarslasja in mid-January. In response, a bridge was built over the [[Salt River]] to fully link the two nations' road networks. Soon after, several new roads and bridges were constructed to connect Xarslasja to both East and West Pua. After pro-government Xarslasjan forces attempted to build a bridge to West Pua in [[Tucson]], a battle between XPA and XLA forces ensued. As such, the bridge was built outside of Tucson's city limits.

Meanwhile, environmental concerns continued to grow in Core Xarslasja, especially about the shrinking of the desert biome with the expansion of the city and the continuing [[Greenification]]. An ecological study indeed found that the Xarslasja Dead Shrub (which is, in fact, dormant, not dead) and the Xarslasja Cactus were both endangered. In response, Oracle declared Greenification illegal in its city limits, and several counties quickly filed complaints to the Legislature. The Xarslasja Legislature voted to declare the Xarslasja Dead Shrub and the Xarslasja Cactus protected species. Dead Shrubs were thus legally required to be harvested with shears and collected for replanting. Another vote announced the beginning of a process of creating designated National Forests where no industrial or residential construction could take place on the surface, inspired by the Cave Creek National Recreation Area. Mapping of the National Forests began soon after.

=== Transit Revolution and Further Internal Conflict (2025) ===
The Thasusa By Land Initiative continued to pick up steam as new roads and bridges continued to be built and existing roads were modified to fit the standards of the initiative. At the same time, preparations for the 2025 Kozdenen Nguhlympics were underway throughout the world. Xarslasja's [[Jomax Stadium]] was to be the site of the opening ceremonies. Thus, the industrial site of [[Anthem]] ramped up its development of the Anthem Grand Hotel, a local rail link to the Core Xarslasja Line, and more. A revamp of the existing Yuma Station and other stations and local lines was in full force, including a connection of the [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]] to [[Sedona]]. It was then announced by employees of CenRail that a specialized "Olympic Line" would be constructed between important stadium sites, and there was a location on [[Cottonwood Island]] where two rail lines already intersected and thus would be a great location for the Olympic Line to also cross. Thus began what would surely become the most complicated rail station in Xarslasja: Ash Fork Station. By the time it was completed in mid-February 2025, Ash Fork was a major rail intersection in the world, linking the Southern Loop, the Western Line, the Olympic Line, and the local Nguhlympic Line.

The Olympic Line passed directly under [[Sedona]], and as such a CenRail Station was built in Sedona as well. This one was notable for being built in the mouth of a natural cave.

In an effort to improve transit efficiency, slabs began to be installed on paved roads, ending the need for jumping while navigating major intersections.

On April 9th, 2025, the Xarslasja Terrestrial Army, in cooperation with military assets from the Navy of [[Imerchal]], the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]], and [[Hummland]], began a second siege around the self-blockaded city of [[Tucson]], in an effort to liberate [[Gu Sabah]]'s largest stronghold in [[Coconino County]]. Gu Sabah took notice of this, and quickly bolstered defenses of the city and developed fortifications on the Puan side of the [[Oak River]]. The XPA and XTA built TNT cannons facing each other. The XPA planted landmines throughout the hillsides around Tucson, and both armies planted walls of spiky berry bushes to slow enemy progression.

Imerchal stationed 13 ships along the west coast of Coconino, across from the Puan-claimed isthmus. Civilian villagers in Tucson were mostly evacuated to [[Flagstaff]] or [[Naco]] for their safety. The [[Battle of Tucson]] soon followed, resulting in a decisive loss for the out-gunned XPA. As it turned out, Gu Sabah himself was present in Tucson at the time, and retreated to one of several underground tunnels. Essentially unguarded, the island of [[Bar Harbor]] was surrounded by the [[Xarslasja Royal Navy]].

In May 2025, the Bezuv announced the Gu Sabah [[KILLFEST]], where Gu Sabah was taken from his original prison cell to Central Yard in Yuma and repeatedly killed for head collection by the general public, leading up to a final execution toward the end of the month.

From June through August 2025, the vast majority of the national construction team was redirected to Pua, Pihi, and Aylongam to complete the Thasusa By Land infrastructure. By early August, the P21, P20, P10, and P28 were completed within Puan territory.

The Bezuv announced Phase 2 of the [[Xarslasja Transit Revolution]] in late September 2025, which began with the underground groundbreaking of a new central subway station in Yuma linking the Yuma CenRail to the Yuma Nexus.

=== Reintegration, Thunan Qumrea Annexation, Thasusan Union and Continued Transit Revolution (2025) ===
The construction of the new Yuma Nexus was interrupted by a series of political events. First, the reserved lands of [[Þunan Qumreá]] were opened up to annexation by existing countries after the persistence of its anarchic “Warlords Period.” Xarslasja became a major beneficiary of this, acquiring a massive swath of territory. At the same time, the [[Xarslasja Legislature]] confirmed its plans to conduct a new census and reintegrate the vacant legislative seats from the formerly rebellious [[Coconino County]] and [[La Paz County]]. The [[Thasusan Union]], a new multinational regulatory and economic organization, was rapidly growing as well. Late October also marked the one-year anniversary of the attack on the Copper Palace. As such, the Bezuv declared a month-long [[Copper Festival]].

The [[Reintegration Sessions]] began in the legislature on October 29th, 2025. These controversial votes discussed major aspects of the functioning of the government, complicated by the addition of enough territory and population to create two new counties. The result of this was a convoluted deal wherein the formerly rebellious counties were reintegrated into the government with representatives handpicked by the Legislature. Additionally, pending the completion of the ongoing Census, two new counties would be created in the [[Tunnan Military District]] and new seats would be added to existing counties with significantly increased populations. Thus began the [[Census Rush]], a wave of unauthorized construction projects to boost the population and economic importance of rural counties in order to gain additional representation in the Legislature.

=== Incorporation and the Hacking Plague (2025-2026) ===
As New Years Day, 2026 approached, preparations began in the houses of government for the official incorporation of two new counties carved out of the Tunnan Military District - [[Cochise County]] and [[Mohave County]], along with the reapportionment of the seats of the Xarslasja Legislature. Not much word had come from the Bezuv through much of December, partially due to a time anomaly that somehow caused reality to shift nearly a week into the future instantaneously. Even after this, no news came from the Copper Palace despite the important upcoming incorporation. On December 27th, a member of the [[Pima County Filibuster]] returned to her home to gather resources for the budding village of [[Tunnan]]. Upon arriving in [[Arcosanti]], there was nobody there. Every villager in Arcosanti had died and despawned. After word got out, reporters flooded the entrance of the Copper Palace to see the Bezuv, but he refused to answer the door, only shouting “I’m fine!” from the high tower of the palace. Rumors began to spread that the Bezuv had caught whatever disease killed the population of Arcosanti.

On December 30th, popular Xarslasjan musician The Velar Nasal released his submission for the [[Nguhrovision Song Contest 2025]], a synthpop rendition of the Hymn of Xarslasja titled “Piperx djIdarx,” or “Brave Sands” in English.

On January 1st, despite the Bezuv being missing, procedures continued for the incorporation of the two new counties.

Two months passed, and the office of the Bezuv still did not allow visitors or questions. Meanwhile, Mohave County and Cochise County were incorporated into the nation, though new physical seats had not been added in the legislature and the local filibusters and the XTA remained the de facto authorities.

The Legislature approved funding for the completion of the new Yuma Nexus and the construction of new stations and two-lane railways connecting Yuma to Ashton to better incorporate the new territories. This was called [[Operation: Usable Transit]].

Afte being authorized by House Speaker [[Jodai Wemmi]] to investigate the [[Copper Palace]], Akuv [[Ngu]] (Slave to Creativity) broke in and found that [[Agamashuya I]] had indeed fallen victim to the [[Hacking Plague]]. A transitional government was immediately declared by Ngu and Wemmi while a solution was figured out.

=== Transitional Government and County Autonomy (2026) ===
Under the transitional government of Jodai Wemmi and Ngu, the redesign of the legislature's interior was improved and the local rail line revamp project continued at full steam. The Core Xarslasja Line was made two-lane and connected with Tunnan and Ashton with new stations. The revamp of the Nogales-Arcosanti Line began shortly after, with high-speed lines from Yuma Nexus to Sun City West and to Bar Harbor were planned out. A quartz monument to Agamashuya I was erected in North Yuma and black banners were placed in public spaces around the nation to mourn his death.

Meanwhile, counties continued to express further autonomy. This brought to a head the "Greater [[Pua]] Movement" in the southern counties. In Santa Cruz County, the unclear border between Xarslasja and Pua and the lack of federal unity led Sjantakruzzunou to try and stake the borderline shown on some maps that gave their county the largest land area. The Puan government began to push back, building up its military around the Santa Cruz County area. Jodai Wemmi, sensing the decaying vision of legitimacy of the central government under a Speaker rather than a Bezuv, put together proposals to create a Xarslasja "Ghast Corp" to create air superiority and to protect the country's seven ghastports, and to give the XTA authority to put down "construction projects" enacted by counties without legislative approval. Santa Cruz County officials in Nogales had already begun demolishing the Nogales-Arcosanti Line station in preparation for the two-lane update. This was done ahead of schedule, and thus transit between Nogales and the rest of Xarslasja was affectively cut off. Citizens from Nogales began camping near the "Pirate's Cove" at [[Hayden's Ferry]], which had previously been used as a hideaway for Gu Sabah supporters.

on March 18th, the Puan military presence significantly ramped up in the Djobom Sea around Nogales and Hayden's Ferry. Pua, a member of the [[Thasusan Union]] and [[South Thasusan Common Market Agreement]] and coalition partner with the central government of Xarslasja, sent an envoy to the Xarslasja Legislature to warn the government in Yuma about the unruly behavior of the Sjantakruzzunou. The following day, Pua launched [[Operation Santa Slay]], kicking the [[Santa Cruz Crisis]] into high gear. This set off a convoluted series of international reactions that spiraled quickly.

After weeks of tumultuous sessions of the Legislature, Jodai Wemmi was removed from office and Akuv Ngu became the official head of government. The head of state was reverted to the dead Agamashuya I, creating a ''de jure'' necrocracy. Protests broke out nationwide as legislators and local leaders refused to acknowledge the federal government. All the while, Pua's Navy continued its encroachment.

In April 2026, Akuv Ngu and Dmacixuv [[Sjarm Adax]] proposed a land swamp deal with Pua: cede [[Puoria]] to Xarslasja and cede eastern Santa Cruz County to Pua. Adax attempted to make a show of strength by creating a naval blockade of Puoria, which eventually expanded to a blockade of the entirety of Scarecrow Harbor. The larger blockade, however, went unenforced in reality. The government quickly built a military prison in [[Eager]], called [[Schwa-shank Military Prison]]. It was intended to house captured Puans and, eventually, Jodai Wemmi; but instead political prisoners were sent to the island prison.

On May 1st, Akuv Ngu embarked on a "goodwill tour" of the military-run counties. This ended in tragedy as a riot broke out during his visit to the Flagstaff Ghastport on May 4th. There, protesters broke through the military guard and trampled Akuv Ngu into oblivion. From then, Dmacixuv of the XRN Sjarm Adax became the closest thing to a head of government. With the Legislature suspended and a dead Bezuv, there was little claim to authority in Xarslasja at the federal level. With that, Pua encroached further.

=== Pua's 51-Minute Annexation and ''Xaudixaum Xarslasjabwa'' (2026) ===
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]].

=== Peace and Modernization under the ''Xaudixaum'' (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.

== History ==

=== 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.

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.

=== Expansion Period ===
On April 2nd, 2024, Xarslasja was admitted into the [[United Ŋations]] by a unanimous 6-0 vote. That day, the tentative plan for the Yuɱa Exchange Rate Commission was announced and grounds were broken for its construction.

Through early April 2024, significant infrastructure was constructed, including a full reconstruction and expansion of the Yuɱa CenRail Station and the creation of the [[Core Xarslasja Line|Core Xarslasja Line System]].

In late April 2024, the strange village of [[Needle Rock]] was opened near the future site of [[Arcosanti]], and Bezuv Agma Schwa's "ŋursery" from the previous Minecraft world was imported to Blythe by the witchcraft of [[Ætérnal]].

Xarslasja entered a state of [[June 2024 Xarslasja Recession|Recession]] on June 10th, 2024 due low a lack of banking transaction regulation and no system in place to make bank loans, after Elisa of Fishland put in an order for a whopping 100 slabs by sending 32 stacks of gold blocks to the [[Great Desert Bank]]. The vault of the entire nation of Xarslasja only contained 1 slab. The Bank exchanged one slab for one stack of gold blocks and returned the remaining stacks. Instantly insolvent, the Bezuv forced the temporary closure of the Bank and Exchange Commission until the vault is restored and a bank loan system in place.

After recuperating funds and changing transaction laws, the Bank quietly reopened on July 14th, 2024 with a transaction limit of 2 Slabs and a ban on mineral transactions.

In July 2024, The Bezuv made a deal with Quing [[Marcy I]] of [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen|Kyaw Cen]] to share a plot of land known as '''[[Ŋibraltar]],''' officially the "Territory of Ŋibraltar." This was done to augment economic ties with the maritime power and to express friendship between the two governments. Construction of Ŋibraltar was done by Kyaw Cen, though a rail line is planned to be split fro the Quartzsite Line Station to reach it and suburbs around it are likely to be built.

The borders of Xarslasja were expanded to fill in previously unclaimed space between [[Þunan Qumreá]] and [[Nāroňpār]] in July 2024. A month later, Xarslasja's [[Operation: Mingling]] created a network of roads to every corner of the nation, including to several international borders.

=== Consolidation Period ===
In August of 2024, the western nation of [[Murbetia]] formally disbanded, leaving what was the largest land claim in the world a power vacuum. Nearly instantly, several nations moved in. During this event, known as the [[Scramble for Murbetia]], Coldba became the primary beneficiary, claiming about 90% of Murbetia's main landmass. Xarslasja, in an attempt to expand its trade horizons and oceanic influence, purchased two islands off the north and east coasts of Murbetia for a grand total of One Slab (an act which was significant, since the land grabs earlier in the day had been officialized for free). These islands were named Bar Harbor and Far Harbor, and put under the direct authority of the Bezuv's son, Gu Sabah as head of the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]]. One island turned out to be claimed by West Pua, so negotiations on the eastern island began. The dispute was resolved within two days. Kate of Coldba remunerated the Bezuv for the false purchase of Bar Harbor. In exchange, Xar Harbor was purchased. Bar Harbor was retaken by West Pua for roughly 12 hours before a deal was struck for Xarslasja to gain official control of the land on Bar Harbor, in exchange for the handing over of the island of Peoria, located north of Arcosanti.

September 2024 saw the incorporation of [[Graham County]] and [[Greenlee County]], with their county seats being in [[Sun City West]] and [[Greer]], respectively. [[West Pua]] built an embassy to Xarslasja in Tempe, shortly before the [[Bezuv]] struck a deal with [[Skrungk]] to complete the [[CenRail]] tunnel from [[Allium]] to [[Flagstaff]]. [[East Pua]] made the Blue River fully navigable, allowing for unfettered naval travel between Xarslasja and the [[Sea of Fortune]] near [[Aylongam]]. Additionally, the Xarslasja Port Authority vastly expanded its power in late August and early September, with [[La Paz County]] coming under the full control of [[Gu Sabah]]. The construction of the [[Ləŋdəŋ Bridge]] created the first land transit link to a piece of La Paz County, connecting [[Coconino County]] to [[Havasu Island]]. The [[Shea Island]] Naval Complex was also completed, and this quickly became the main headquarters for the XPA despite it being located in [[Gila County]], rather than La Paz.

In October 2024, Gu Sabah laid seige to Arcosanti in an effort to overthrow his father, in an event known as the [[Coup Sabah]]. This set international relations into a tailspin, with several nations aligning explicitly with Gu Sabah, even those with embassies already constructed. A counter-seige was brought upon the Shea Island Naval Complex by the East Puan Navy, supported by the Republic of Shudrow in what the alliance called "[[Operation Bezuv Shield]]." With resources running out and the [[Nguhrovision Song Contest]] rapidly approaching, both sides began to move to finish this conflict ass quickly as possible.

=== Internal Strife ===
After weeks of the country struggling with the Coup Sabah, the Legislature held the controversial votes of [[The Emergency Sessions]], which led to Coconino County offering safe harbor to Gu Sabah and his supporters. A series of brutal battles on Shea Island, Arcosanti, Havasu Island, and finally the devastating [[Battle of Flagstaff]], the Legislative Authority and a multi-national coalition of allies was victorious. Gu Sabah and his supporters largely retreated to the islands of La Paz County and to [[Tucson]]. The government of Coconino County continued to be in a state of insubordinance, and as such the XLA set up plans for an occupation of the county until the rebels had been arrested (see [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]]).

Two public parks were opened to memorialize the conflict: [[Memorial Park]] in Flagstaff at the site of the crater from the most brutal fighting, and [[Griddy Park]] in Blythe where the original Blythe Port Authority Building was bombed on October 24th and the Master Gridmaker of Core Xarslasja, "Mr. Griddy," was indiscriminately killed in the blast.

On November 1st, the Bezuv signed a treaty with [[Þunan Qumreá]] converting the islands of [[Crown King]] (Fobuv) into a jointly-ruled condominium in order to create a more close military and economic relation with the nation, as they were a pivotal ally to Agamashuya I in the conflict and provided significant humanitarian aid.

On November 3rd, Xarslasja had a unifying moment when the nation's star musician, The Velar Nasal, earned the Bronze Medal in the [[2024 Nguhrovision Song Contest]].

Meanwhile, the [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]] continued as Tucson and all of La Paz County (except for [[Havasu Island]]) remained under the control of Gu Sabah and the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]]. The entity of the XPA was abolished by the Legislature and the use of its flag was declared illegal.

In December 2024, despite having not reclaimed [[Tucson]] or La Paz County, Xarslasja began to move on with business as usual. The Bezuv announced the [[Thasusa By Land Initiative]] to create horse-navigable roads throughout the continent, with several nations signing on. The Copper Palace was rebuilt using humanitarian aid materials, and Arcosanti was repopulated. New buildings were constructed in Xarslasja, and the [[Great Desert Bank]] was torn down, reconstructed, and combined with the Yuma Exchange Rate Commission. The new structure had the capacity to quickly update item pricing and sell and buy items in both Slabs (POS) and the Puan Unity Argent. New homes were built east of Yuma Station, leading to the real possibility that the metro areas of Yuma and Tempe could combine into a single desert megalopolis. In response, on December 12th, 2024, official city limits were drawn for Tucson and Yuma and a new, buffer city was announced - [[Oracle]].

2025 began with Xarslasja largely stable, other than the segment of Coconino County and La Paz County that were still considered to be under active [[Gu Sabah Insurgency|insurgency]]. Major road construction activity began in Xarslasja's goal to become a hub for the [[Thasusa By Land Initiative]]. [[Szlanty]] successfully extended the main roads of [[Nāroňpār|Naronpar]] to finally connect to northeastern Xarslasja in mid-January. In response, a bridge was built over the [[Salt River]] to fully link the two nations' road networks. Soon after, several new roads and bridges were constructed to connect Xarslasja to both East and West Pua. After pro-government Xarslasjan forces attempted to build a bridge to West Pua in [[Tucson]], a battle between XPA and XLA forces ensued. As such, the bridge was built outside of Tucson's city limits.

Meanwhile, environmental concerns continued to grow in Core Xarslasja, especially about the shrinking of the desert biome with the expansion of the city and the continuing [[Greenification]]. An ecological study indeed found that the Xarslasja Dead Shrub (which is, in fact, dormant, not dead) and the Xarslasja Cactus were both endangered. In response, Oracle declared Greenification illegal in its city limits, and several counties quickly filed complaints to the Legislature. The Xarslasja Legislature voted to declare the Xarslasja Dead Shrub and the Xarslasja Cactus protected species. Dead Shrubs were thus legally required to be harvested with shears and collected for replanting. Another vote announced the beginning of a process of creating designated National Forests where no industrial or residential construction could take place on the surface, inspired by the Cave Creek National Recreation Area. Mapping of the National Forests began soon after.

=== Transit Revolution and Further Internal Conflict ===
The Thasusa By Land Initiative continued to pick up steam as new roads and bridges continued to be built and existing roads were modified to fit the standards of the initiative. At the same time, preparations for the 2025 Kozdenen Nguhlympics were underway throughout the world. Xarslasja's [[Jomax Stadium]] was to be the site of the opening ceremonies. Thus, the industrial site of [[Anthem]] ramped up its development of the Anthem Grand Hotel, a local rail link to the Core Xarslasja Line, and more. A revamp of the existing Yuma Station and other stations and local lines was in full force, including a connection of the [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]] to [[Sedona]]. It was then announced by employees of CenRail that a specialized "Olympic Line" would be constructed between important stadium sites, and there was a location on [[Cottonwood Island]] where two rail lines already intersected and thus would be a great location for the Olympic Line to also cross. Thus began what would surely become the most complicated rail station in Xarslasja: Ash Fork Station. By the time it was completed in mid-February 2025, Ash Fork was a major rail intersection in the world, linking the Southern Loop, the Western Line, the Olympic Line, and the local Nguhlympic Line.

The Olympic Line passed directly under [[Sedona]], and as such a CenRail Station was built in Sedona as well. This one was notable for being built in the mouth of a natural cave.

In an effort to improve transit efficiency, slabs began to be installed on paved roads, ending the need for jumping while navigating major intersections.

On April 9th, 2025, the Xarslasja Terrestrial Army, in cooperation with military assets from the Navy of [[Imerchal]], the [[Kingdom of Kyaw Cen]], and [[Hummland]], began a second siege around the self-blockaded city of [[Tucson]], in an effort to liberate [[Gu Sabah]]'s largest stronghold in [[Coconino County]]. Gu Sabah took notice of this, and quickly bolstered defenses of the city and developed fortifications on the Puan side of the [[Oak River]]. The XPA and XTA built TNT cannons facing each other. The XPA planted landmines throughout the hillsides around Tucson, and both armies planted walls of spiky berry bushes to slow enemy progression.

Imerchal stationed 13 ships along the west coast of Coconino, across from the Puan-claimed isthmus. Civilian villagers in Tucson were mostly evacuated to [[Flagstaff]] or [[Naco]] for their safety. The [[Battle of Tucson]] soon followed, resulting in a decisive loss for the out-gunned XPA. As it turned out, Gu Sabah himself was present in Tucson at the time, and retreated to one of several underground tunnels. Essentially unguarded, the island of [[Bar Harbor]] was surrounded by the [[Xarslasja Royal Navy]].

In May 2025, the Bezuv announced the Gu Sabah [[KILLFEST]], where Gu Sabah was taken from his original prison cell to Central Yard in Yuma and repeatedly killed for head collection by the general public, leading up to a final execution toward the end of the month.

From June through August 2025, the vast majority of the national construction team was redirected to Pua, Pihi, and Aylongam to complete the Thasusa By Land infrastructure. By early August, the P21, P20, P10, and P28 were completed within Puan territory.

The Bezuv announced Phase 2 of the [[Xarslasja Transit Revolution]] in late September 2025, which began with the underground groundbreaking of a new central subway station in Yuma linking the Yuma CenRail to the Yuma Nexus.

=== Reintegration, Thunan Qumrea Annexation, Thasusan Union and Continued Transit Revolution ===
The construction of the new Yuma Nexus was interrupted by a series of political events. First, the reserved lands of [[Þunan Qumreá]] were opened up to annexation by existing countries after the persistence of its anarchic “Warlords Period.” Xarslasja became a major beneficiary of this, acquiring a massive swath of territory. At the same time, the [[Xarslasja Legislature]] confirmed its plans to conduct a new census and reintegrate the vacant legislative seats from the formerly rebellious [[Coconino County]] and [[La Paz County]]. The [[Thasusan Union]], a new multinational regulatory and economic organization, was rapidly growing as well. Late October also marked the one-year anniversary of the attack on the Copper Palace. As such, the Bezuv declared a month-long [[Copper Festival]].

The [[Reintegration Sessions]] began in the legislature on October 29th, 2025. These controversial votes discussed major aspects of the functioning of the government, complicated by the addition of enough territory and population to create two new counties. The result of this was a convoluted deal wherein the formerly rebellious counties were reintegrated into the government with representatives handpicked by the Legislature. Additionally, pending the completion of the ongoing Census, two new counties would be created in the [[Tunnan Military District]] and new seats would be added to existing counties with significantly increased populations. Thus began the [[Census Rush]], a wave of unauthorized construction projects to boost the population and economic importance of rural counties in order to gain additional representation in the Legislature.

=== Incorporation and the Hacking Plague ===
As New Years Day, 2026 approached, preparations began in the houses of government for the official incorporation of two new counties carved out of the Tunnan Military District - [[Cochise County]] and [[Mohave County]], along with the reapportionment of the seats of the Xarslasja Legislature. Not much word had come from the Bezuv through much of December, partially due to a time anomaly that somehow caused reality to shift nearly a week into the future instantaneously. Even after this, no news came from the Copper Palace despite the important upcoming incorporation. On December 27th, a member of the [[Pima County Filibuster]] returned to her home to gather resources for the budding village of [[Tunnan]]. Upon arriving in [[Arcosanti]], there was nobody there. Every villager in Arcosanti had died and despawned. After word got out, reporters flooded the entrance of the Copper Palace to see the Bezuv, but he refused to answer the door, only shouting “I’m fine!” from the high tower of the palace. Rumors began to spread that the Bezuv had caught whatever disease killed the population of Arcosanti.

On December 30th, popular Xarslasjan musician The Velar Nasal released his submission for the [[Nguhrovision Song Contest 2025]], a synthpop rendition of the Hymn of Xarslasja titled “Piperx djIdarx,” or “Brave Sands” in English.

On January 1st, despite the Bezuv being missing, procedures continued for the incorporation of the two new counties.

Two months passed, and the office of the Bezuv still did not allow visitors or questions. Meanwhile, Mohave County and Cochise County were incorporated into the nation, though new physical seats had not been added in the legislature and the local filibusters and the XTA remained the de facto authorities.

The Legislature approved funding for the completion of the new Yuma Nexus and the construction of new stations and two-lane railways connecting Yuma to Ashton to better incorporate the new territories. This was called [[Operation: Usable Transit]].

Afte being authorized by House Speaker [[Jodai Wemmi]] to investigate the [[Copper Palace]], Akuv [[Ngu]] (Slave to Creativity) broke in and found that [[Agamashuya I]] had indeed fallen victim to the [[Hacking Plague]]. A transitional government was immediately declared by Ngu and Wemmi while a solution was figured out.

=== Transitional Government and County Autonomy ===
Under the transitional government of Jodai Wemmi and Ngu, the redesign of the legislature's interior was improved and the local rail line revamp project continued at full steam. The Core Xarslasja Line was made two-lane and connected with Tunnan and Ashton with new stations. The revamp of the Nogales-Arcosanti Line began shortly after, with high-speed lines from Yuma Nexus to Sun City West and to Bar Harbor were planned out. A quartz monument to Agamashuya I was erected in North Yuma and black banners were placed in public spaces around the nation to mourn his death.

Meanwhile, counties continued to express further autonomy. This brought to a head the "Greater [[Pua]] Movement" in the southern counties. In Santa Cruz County, the unclear border between Xarslasja and Pua and the lack of federal unity led Sjantakruzzunou to try and stake the borderline shown on some maps that gave their county the largest land area. The Puan government began to push back, building up its military around the Santa Cruz County area. Jodai Wemmi, sensing the decaying vision of legitimacy of the central government under a Speaker rather than a Bezuv, put together proposals to create a Xarslasja "Ghast Corp" to create air superiority and to protect the country's seven ghastports, and to give the XTA authority to put down "construction projects" enacted by counties without legislative approval. Santa Cruz County officials in Nogales had already begun demolishing the Nogales-Arcosanti Line station in preparation for the two-lane update. This was done ahead of schedule, and thus transit between Nogales and the rest of Xarslasja was affectively cut off. Citizens from Nogales began camping near the "Pirate's Cove" at [[Hayden's Ferry]], which had previously been used as a hideaway for Gu Sabah supporters.

on March 18th, the Puan military presence significantly ramped up in the Djobom Sea around Nogales and Hayden's Ferry. Pua, a member of the [[Thasusan Union]] and [[South Thasusan Common Market Agreement]] and coalition partner with the central government of Xarslasja, sent an envoy to the Xarslasja Legislature to warn the government in Yuma about the unruly behavior of the Sjantakruzzunou. The following day, Pua launched [[Operation Santa Slay]], kicking the [[Santa Cruz Crisis]] into high gear. This set off a convoluted series of international reactions that spiraled quickly.

After weeks of tumultuous sessions of the Legislature, Jodai Wemmi was removed from office and Akuv Ngu became the official head of government. The head of state was reverted to the dead Agamashuya I, creating a ''de jure'' necrocracy. Protests broke out nationwide as legislators and local leaders refused to acknowledge the federal government. All the while, Pua's Navy continued its encroachment.

In April 2026, Akuv Ngu and Dmacixuv [[Sjarm Adax]] proposed a land swamp deal with Pua: cede [[Puoria]] to Xarslasja and cede eastern Santa Cruz County to Pua. Adax attempted to make a show of strength by creating a naval blockade of Puoria, which eventually expanded to a blockade of the entirety of Scarecrow Harbor. The larger blockade, however, went unenforced in reality. The government quickly built a military prison in [[Eager]], called [[Schwa-shank Military Prison]]. It was intended to house captured Puans and, eventually, Jodai Wemmi; but instead political prisoners were sent to the island prison.

On May 1st, Akuv Ngu embarked on a "goodwill tour" of the military-run counties. This ended in tragedy as a riot broke out during his visit to the Flagstaff Ghastport on May 4th. There, protesters broke through the military guard and trampled Akuv Ngu into oblivion. From then, Dmacixuv of the XRN Sjarm Adax became the closest thing to a head of government. With the Legislature suspended and a dead Bezuv, there was little claim to authority in Xarslasja at the federal level. With that, Pua encroached further.

=== 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]].

'''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.

==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]]

=== 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.

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]].

'''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.

==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]]

=== 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

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]].

=== 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]].

Transportation in Xarslasja

2026-07-08T14:58:19Z

BezuvNguh:

Since the opening of the first [[CenRail]] connection to Yuma in January 2024, Xarslasja has rapidly developed an intricate network of roads, railways, navigable waterways, and ghastports. Much of this infrastructure, especially those that were designed early on in the country's growth, were made so hastily that they have already undergone projects of renewal and modernization. The current government-sponsored program, [[Operation: Usable Transit]], has been one of the most bold in the nation's history.

== Local Roads ==
Most local roads in Xarslasja are either two or three blocks wide. In deserts, they are paved with smooth stone, and in non-desert biomes they are patted down dirt.

Every street in the [[Core Xarslasja]] Metro area is labeled with a name in [[Arodjun]]. Buildings along streets in [[Yuɱa]], [[Blythe]], and [[Quartzsite]] all have numbered addresses, based on the Yuma Street Grid System. The center point is the fountain at Dunxaum Yuma, and the cardinal quadrants revolving around it determine the first digit of the address (1, 2, 3, or 4). The second and third digits mark the position of the building in order from its road, with the origin being wherever it is closest to the Dunxaum Yuma Fountain. Whether the number is odd or even is determined by what side of the road the building is on.

== Thasusa By Land Initiative ==
There are multiple major throughways that are part of the international [[Thasusa By Land Initiative]] System. These roads follow a set of standards agreed upon by all member nations.

=== Horse Stables ===
Part of [[Operation: Usable Transit]] includes the plan to build relatively regularly-intervaled horse stables to guarantee safe travels across long distances. As of July 2026, all of Xarslasja only has 3 horse stables.

== Local Rail ==
[[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, two-lane rail lines: the [[Core Xarslasja Line]], the [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]], and the [[Acacialands Line]].

At the Yuma Nexus (located under the center square, Dunxaum Juma) there are connections to:

* Core Xarslasja Line
* Nogales-Arcosanti Line
* Sun City West Rapid Pua Access (in progress)
* Ashton-Tunnan Rapid Access (in progress)
* Naval Rapid Access (in progress)

The [[Nogales-Arcosanti Line]] at Yuma Nexus and connects to [[Gila Bend]], [[Arcosanti]], the Underwater Hotel, [[Flagstaff]], [[Tucson]] Ruins, [[Tach3on Site|Tach3on]] Ruins, [[Nogales]], [[Ajo]], [[Payson]], and [[Sedona]].

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

== International 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.

At [[Yuɱa|Yuma]] Station, there is international access via the [[Southern Loop]] and [[Linecone]].

At [[Ŋibraltar|Ngibraltar]] Station and Flagstaff Station there is international access via the Southern Loop.

At [[Sedona]] Station, there is international access via the [[Olympic Line]].

At [[Ash Fork Station]], there is international access via the Southern Loop, Olympic Line, and [[Western Line]].

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

The [[Far Harbor]]-[[Polnareff Land]] Undersea Rail Connection (under construction as of July 2026) will be a quick international connection linking Polnareff Land to the outside world.

== Navigable Waterways ==
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]].

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

== 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. The ghastport in Ashton, [[Muwewesja Ghastport]], is the largest, with 6 ghast bays.

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

== Nether Access ==
There are two legal End Portals in Xarslasja, and one illegal portal that keeps appearing south of Ashton no matter how many times it's destroyed.

The legal End Portals are located on [[Why Island]] and [[Surprise]].

'''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 is expected to take effect some time in June.

==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]]

=== 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]].

=== 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]].

BezuvNguh:

Ngu, Slave to Creativity, is the [[Akuv]] of the [[Xarslasja Terrestrial Army]].

After staying loyal to the Bezuvate during the [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]], the Bezuv appointed Ngu acting Akuv of the newly established XTA.

During the [[Census Rush]], Ngu directed the construction of [[Fort Mohave]] in [[Ashton]] to help establish order in the new territory. In December 2025, Ngu was declared the official Akuv.

In May 2026, he was trampled to death in [[Flagstaff]] by rioters. He was the last officially-recognized leader of the Bezuvate of Xarslasja before it became the Xaudixaum.

His death armor can be seen at the Xarslasja Museum of History in Yuma.

[[File:Old Quartzsite Station.png|thumb|the station in Quartzsite (Njakxeun) minutes before its partial demolition and vast expansion for Operation: Usable Transit]]
Operation: Usable Transit is a bill passed by the Xarslasja Legislature in early 2026 granting federal funds to counties to convert all national rails from one-lane routes to two-lane routes and redesign the stations along the way as necessary.

This was notable for being an usurpation of the Bezuv's power to manage construction projects. The Bezuv, [[Agamashuya I]], had been missing for over two months at this point, so the measure was passed anyway.

== Pre-Crisis (January-March 2026) ==
The two-lane conversion process began along the Core Xarslasja Line, starting at the newly expanded [[Yuma Nexus]] Station in [[Yuɱa]]. New stations were built in [[Blythe]], the "Old North Border," [[Tunnan]], and [[Ashton]]. In Ashton, the line connects to itself, completing the loop.

The conversion on the Nogales-Arcosanti Line began in February. This began with a brand new station at [[Gila Bend]], and vast expansion of the old station near [[Arcosanti]], and a complete demolition and reconstruction of the [[Flagstaff]] Station. The two-lane conversion continued through the ruins of [[Tucson]] and the [[Tach3on Site]], before progress was abruptly stopped in [[Nogales]] due to the chaos of the [[Santa Cruz Crisis]].

During the crisis, some progress on the project continued in [[Sedona]], where its local station was doubled in size to accomodate a second two-lane railway, and the Sedona CenRail station was modified to accomodate the new two-lane rail that passes through it.

== Post-Crisis (May 2026-???) ==
After the establishment of [[Sjarm Adax]] as [[Xaudixuv]], the project resumed in earnest. The two-lane conversion of the Acacialands Line was completed. A new extension of the Nogales-Arcosanti Line was made to connect to Sedona Station in its new available space, with plans to continue the line to the fledgling town of [[Show Low]]. Finally, the xection of line connecting [[Ajo]] to [[Nogales]] was completely redug and rebuilt to avoid crossing into what was now Puan territory.

The "golden spike" that reactivated the Nogales-Arcosanti Line was laid the morning of May 31st, 2026.

== Remaining Goals ==
The following goals remain in the completion of this project. Some goals were set by the now-defunct [[Xarslasja Legislature]] and some were set by [[Agamashuya II]].

* completion of the Xarslasja-Pua Friendship Canal
* installation of horse stables in rural areas along [[Thasusa By Land Initiative]] routes in Xarslasja and Pua
* extension of the Nogales-Arcosanti Line to Show Low
* completion of the Naval Complex Rapid Access Line from Yuma Nexus to [[Far Harbor]]
* completion of the Pua Rapid Access Line from Yuma Nexus to [[Sun City West]]
* two-lane conversion of the Olympic Line from [[Ash Fork Station]] to Tonto Station
* completion of the [[Far Harbor]]-[[Polnareff Land]] undersea rail connection
* training of at least 8 new ghasts and 8 new horses to serve the air and land routes

'''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 is expected to take effect some time in June.

==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]]

=== 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

[[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]].

=== 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.]]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]].

'''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 is expected to take effect some time in June.

==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]]

=== 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]].

=== 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.]]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]].

'''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 is expected to take effect some time in June.

==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]]

=== 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 no 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]].

=== 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.]]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

== 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]].

Pima County Filibuster

2026-05-28T19:00:27Z

BezuvNguh:

The Pima County Filibuster ([[Arodjun]]: ) is an unauthorized construction and settlement "filibuster" comprised of [[Xarslasja|Xarslasjans]] from [[Pima County]].

The group established the town of [[Tunnan]] in the [[Tunnan Military District]] in November 2025.

Upon the incorporation of [[Mohave County]], the Pima Filibuster gained a sort of official recognition as it was made the civilian administrator of Tunnan despite the continuation of military governance.

With the dissolution of Pima County pending (as of May 2026), the Pima Filibuster is likely to become the last official remnant of the county's existence.

Yavapai County Filibuster

2026-05-28T18:59:10Z

BezuvNguh:

The Yavapai County Filibuster ([[Arodjun]]: ) is an unauthorized construction and settlement group established by [[Xarslasja]]<nowiki/>ns from [[Yavapai County]].

The group founded the town of [[Show Low]] in the [[Tunnan Military District]] in November 2025.

Upon the incorporation of [[Cochise County]], the Yavapai Filibuster gained a sort of official recognition as it was made the civilian administrator of Show Low despite the continuation of military governance.

Gila County Filibuster

2026-05-28T18:58:30Z

BezuvNguh:

The Gila County Filibuster ([[Arodjun]]:) is an unauthorized construction and settlement "filibuster" from [[Gila County]], Xarslasja.

It was largely responsible for building new structures and population to [[Ashton]] in the [[Tunnan Military District]].

Upon the incorporation of [[Mohave County]], the Gila Filibuster gained a sort of official recognition as it was made the civilian administrator of Ashton despite the continuation of military governance.

Cochise County

2026-05-28T18:54:51Z

BezuvNguh:

Cochise County ([[Arodjun]]: ''Feunau Koccis'') is one of the 13 [[Counties of Xarslasja]], located in the far north.

It is currently governed by the [[Tunnan Military District]] while infrastructure and logistics are figured out. The [[Yavapai County Filibuster]] agreed to dissolve its filibuster to make [[Show Low]] the county seat, which took effect in February 2026, though military governance continues.

Mohave County

2026-05-28T18:53:56Z

BezuvNguh:

Mohave County ([[Arodjun]]: ''Feunau Moxave'') is one of the 13 counties of the Bezuvate of [[Xarslasja]], located at the country's extreme northeast.

The county is governed by the [[Tunnan Military District]] leadership until infrastructure is established and logistics are figured out by the [[Xarslasja Legislature]]. It is working in league with the [[Gila County Filibuster]] to convert the filibuster into a new County Seat in [[Ashton]].

Towns include [[Ashton]] and [[Tunnan]], and it borders the [[Thasusan Union]] joint territory of [[Þunan Ŋáce]].

In the [[Xarslasja Legislature]], Mohave County had two seats before the institution's dissolution.

Þunan Ŋáce (province)

2026-05-28T18:53:19Z

BezuvNguh:

''Not to be confused with [[Þunan Ŋáce (city)|Þunan Ŋáce (city)]] or [[Star Tower]]. See [[Þunan Ŋáce (disambiguation)]] for more information.''
Þunan Ŋáce {{Script|script=thl|t=qIga nnAzu}} was a province of [[Þunan Qumreá|Þunan Qumreá]] which harboured the settlement of the [[Þunan Ŋáce (city)|same name]]. It bordered [[Mohave County|Muweweśáj]] (now mostly [[Mohave County]]) to the northwest, [[Mohave County|Fáwupinu]] (now mostly [[Cochise County]]) to the southwest, [[Śyjeń|Śyjeń]] (now part of [[Nāroňpār]]) to the east, and [[Þunan Þár]] (now part of [[Myžariky]]) to the north. It was the smallest non-condominium province of the country and centers on the lake Þunan Náf.

Star Tower

2026-05-28T18:51:27Z

BezuvNguh:

Star Tower, or Þunan Ŋáce {{Script|script=thl|t=qIga nnAzu}} in [[Śácamþaśá]], is the lighthouse at the center of the settlement of the [[Þunan Ŋáce (city)|same name]]. It is the residence of [[Hilja]] and forms the administrative center of the former nation of [[Þunan Qumreá]]. Today it is a protected site and the headquarters of the [[Thasusan Union]].

== Exterior Construction ==
The lighthouse is a cilindrical tower composed of spherical segments alternating between stone brick and deepslate brick and narrowing towards the top, with windows alternating between facing the four primary or four secondary cardinal directions. In the walls of the top two floors, terracotta symbols write out the first [[Þeurilá]] character of each of these directions. On top of the fifth floor is a square rotating light encased in a glass dome with the width of the bottom segment, and above this is the roof, flanked by flags of [[Þunan Qumreá]] and with a lightning rod atop it.
[[File:Thunanngaace.png|thumb|The exterior of the lighthouse]]
The tower rests upon a circular frame of jungle logs in the lake Þunan Náf. There are wide entrances in all 8 cardinal directions, with flags of Þunan Qumreá on the four primary entrances. At every entrance, there is a bridge connecting the tower to another part of [[Þunan Ŋáce (City)|Þunan Ŋáce]].

== Interior ==
The floors and ceilings are made of birch planks, with glowstone illuminating the floor below it. Most floors are covered in carpets of various colours and patterns. A spiral staircase crosses through the center of the building. The first floor is a storage room full of chests by the wide entrances, the second floor is [[Hilja]] and [[SeoReadeHenn]]‘s sleeping quarters. On the third floor are various crafting devices and armour stands, while the fourth floor forms the magic room and the fifth is an [[Allay Café]]. Above it, one can see the inside of the rotating light mechanism before getting to the roof.

La Paz County (Arodjun: ''Feunau Cuvvex'') is one of the thirteen [[Counties of Xarslasja|counties]] (''feunawa'') of [[Xarslasja]]. It is notable for consisting entirely of islands and archipelagos in the [[Agmatic Ocean]] and for being entirely governed by the [[Xarslasja Port Authority]] before and during the [[Gu Sabah Insurgency]]. It and [[Pima County]] share no land borders with any other counties or countries, though [[Xar Harbor]] Island ends only two blocks away from the shore of [[Polnareff Land]].

Its main constituent islands include [[Xar Harbor]], [[Far Harbor]], the [[Eager]] Archipelago, and [[Havasu Island]]. It formerly contained the island of [[Bar Harbor]], but this was traded to [[Pua]] in exchange for [[Puoria]].

In the Xarslasja Legislature, La Paz County had one seat before the institution's dissolution in May 2026 upon the ascent of [[Agamashuya II]]. After this, plans were set in motion to dissolve [[Pima County]] and incorporate it into La Paz County.

Bar Harbor

2026-05-28T18:38:01Z

BezuvNguh:

The island of Bar Harbor ([[Arodjun]]: ''Baxaaba'') is a small island in the far south of the [[Agmatic Ocean]], part of [[Pua]]. It is located off of the coast of [[Polnareff Land]].

Ownership of Bar Harbor, renamed from "Plus One Island" was traded to Xarslasja by West Pua for the island of [[Puoria]] (renamed from "Peoria") on August 24th, 2024. In negotiations to end the [[Santa Cruz Crisis]] in May 2026, this trade was reversed, with (the now unified) Pua regaining Bar Harbor and Xarslasja regaining Puoria. Administratively within Xarslasja, Bar Harbor was one of the islands comprising [[La Paz County]], but since May 2026 it has been a part of western Pua.

BezuvNguh:

'''Puoria''' (formerly Peoria, while under [[Xarslasja|Xarslasja's]] first period of control) is an island in the [[Agmatic Ocean]], part of [[La Paz County]], [[Xarslasja]].

It was within the maritime borders of [[Xarslasja]] when it was traded to [[West Pua]] in exchange for [[Bar Harbor]]. The trade occurred during the [[Scramble for Murbetia]] but was officialized on 08/24/2024. Eventually, [[Repunification]] occurred and the island became a part of the unified [[Pua]]. During the [[Santa Cruz Crisis]], the island was blockaded by the [[Xarslasja Royal Navy]], and the island was traded ''back'' to Xarslasja in exchange for giving Bar Harbor ''back'' to Pua on May 6th, 2026. As the new administrative subdivisions were planned, Puoria retained its Puan name at was incorporated into [[La Paz County]].

'''Xarslasja''' ([ˈxaɾˌɬa.sʲə]), officially the "'''People's Republic of Xarslasja'''" ([[Arodjun]] ''Xaudixaum Xarslasjabwa'') is a country located in a 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 is expected to take effect some time in June.

==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]]

=== 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 no 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

[[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]].

=== 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.]]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]].
