Umardwal, officially the Islamic Republic of Umardwal, is a country in western Daria, the southeastern island of Audonia. It is a mid-sized country, covering 1,140,993.36 sqkm, making it one of the largest countries in Audonia. It is neighbored by Peshabiwar, Dhavastu, and Pukhtunistan to the east, Yanuban to the south, and Pursat, Bulkh and Battganuur to the west. The country shares the Sea of Kandahar with Battganuur and Pursat. It also contains coastline with the Sea of Aab-e-Farus. The majority of Umardwal's 75 million residents live in the northern regions of the country. Most of the terrain in the south consists of arid desert, lowland, steppe, and mountains. Umardwal's capital and largest city is Asrabad, situated along the coast of the Sea of Kandahar; other major cities in Umardwal include Sayyad, Aridia, and Qayalla.

It came to its modern iteration after the Islamic Rising, in 1964 politically, but has maintained its borders due to being the Burgoignesc colony of the Umardi Presidency. Umardwal is a theocracy with consociational representation, shared between tribal and familial lines. While suffrage is universal and by secret ballot, it is still common for voters to generally follow their tribal leaders lead on issues. Umardwal is a member of the League of Nations, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

Many scholars have criticized its governance and politics, arguing that it is merely a client of Burgundie.

Louages with red lettering travel from one state to another, blue travel from city to city within a state, and yellow serves rural locales.
