Yuɱa

Xarslasja ([ˈxaɾˌɬa.sʲə]) is a country located in a desert southwest of spawn. It was created by Agma Schwa. The cities of Yuɱa and Tempe are located in Xarslasja. The name is Arodjun in origin and roughly means "big desert area".

History

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 city of Tempe, Quartzsite, and Payson.

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

Culture

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, 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.

Government

Xarslasja is 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 protected by a series of Iron Golems and led by Unubuv (lit. "city rulers, mayors"). Agma Schwa is currently the Unuv of all three existing cities.

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.
