Thervala, officially the Kingdom of Thervala, is a constitutional monarchy in Audonia. It is neighbored by Oyashima, XXX, and XXX
Although the modern state that is the Kingdom of Thervala has only existed for a few centuries, people have been living in that region of Audonia since prehistoric times. The borders of the Kingdom of Thervala have also remained consistent since the forming of the original Vishran Dynasties. For a majority of its history, the kingdoms that have existed in the region that is now known as Thervala have either been ruled by foreign dynasties or vassalized under stronger foreign powers.
The earliest recorded state in the region was a Peshabi dynasty of nobles from the Arunid Empire known as the Vishran Dynasty that came to the Thervalan region of Audonia in 200 BCE. The Vishran Dynasty introduced written language and civilization to the indigenous Ther population and much of ancient Ther culture is also linked to the Vishran Dynasty and this process is academically known as Arunidisation. The Vishran dynasty came to its eventual end due to the conquests of the Myanga Ayil Khanate. The capitulation of the Vishran Kingdom was largely bloodless, except for the Arunid ruling class. In the centuries that came after the formation of the initial kingdom, the Arunid ruling class became infamous for its hedonism and brutal style of ruling.
Because the indigenous ethnic Ther were collaborative with the Great Khan, an ethnic Ther dynasty was installed as a vassal under the Khanate in 1300 CE. This dynasty was known as the Khram dynasty, and is responsible for the founding of the Kingdom's capital city, Wat Khram. The Khram dynasty also issued edicts in regards to the development of the kingdom's civil and legislative codes, as well as making the state religion Theravada Buddhism. Modern Thervala can also trace its martial culture to the Khram dynasty, as part of the vassalization required the Khram Dynasty to provide the Khanate with a steady supply of well trained and well supplied troops to assist in the Khanate's conquest of Audonia.
The Khram dynasaty were loyal to the Khanate for centuries, largely due to the protection that was provided as well as the Khanate's laissez faire policy towards Ther self determination and national identity. As conquests started to take a toll on the Ther population, a sentiment for independence began to develop. It wasn't until 1650 that the Khram dynasty came into contact with Burgundie and the Ularien Trading Company (UTC). Upon establishment of Diplomatic missions, the Khram dynasty was more than willing to act as a collaborative force against the now hated Khanate.
Thervala is a member of the League of Nations.

History
What is a general overview of your country's path through history?
First era
In prehistory, Thervala was comprised of small, religious tribes that lived in fishing communities in and around the East Audonian wetlands. A majority of what is known from this time period comes from bog bodies found in and around swamps near major pre-historic settlements. It is heavily theorized that these bog bodies are instances of ritual sacrifice.
Second era
Ancient Thervala's history is predominantly that of the Vishran dynasties. These dynasties were kingdoms ruled by families originating from the Arunid Empire. This period is significant for introducing a written system, marking the earliest recorded history of Thervala.
The Peshabi princes, originally from Peshab, were dispossessed of their lands by the Pukhti royal family. The Pukhti sought to consolidate power and distributed these lands to their growing network of royal sycophants. Forced to seek new opportunities, the Peshabi princes traveled north, following the end of the trade routes, until they encountered the tribes of the Ther people. Demonstrating remarkable leadership and strategic acumen, the Peshabi princes united the Ther tribes under the banner of the Vishran dynasty, establishing a new era of governance and cultural development in Thervala.
