Historical Summary: Wazifara is a country with a long and complex history. The Caliphate consists of 5 Sheikhdoms which at one point were independent states, each with their own history. The Sheikhdoms are Jubal, Al-Nadir, Darim, Barqa, and Al-Waha. Barqa and Al-Waha were the last Sheikhdoms to join the Caliphate after decades of war with Wazifara. This day is known as Unification Day in Wazifara now. Wazifara is a deeply religuous nation and it is part of every day life and the government. The nation was founded based on the scripture of Muzhara and the determination that there must be a unified nation to ensure the supremacy of the Wazmani ethnic group. Much of the history of Wazifara and the Sheikhdoms revolves around disagreements based on the interpretations of Muzhara sacred texts and teachings as well as claims to bloodlines. The current Caliph of Wazifara heads a family that claims to be direct descendants of the prophet (names and details wip) that began Muzhara originally. The ruling families of the other Sheikhdoms also have claims to be descendants of relevant bloodlines to important figures throughout the history of Muzhara. The teachings of Muzhara revolve around the 6 trials of the prophet (known as the first caliph) that showed him to be chosen by God to rule the Wazmani people as well as the 32 Principles which were sayings and lessons from the prophet. Much of Wazifarani law is based on the teachings of the religion and the interpretation of the text by the Caliph and the Highest Council.
I have more about the religion and history of the region in ancient times that I am working on. I am still developing how exactly Wazifara came to be itself but that is basic structure and ideas I have so far. The basic idea is a long time ago the ethnic people now known as Wazmani were persecuted in the ancient version of the Wazifara region. They rebelled and the leader of that rebellion lead the Wazmani and established their unified identity. “Special things” both good and bad happened to him and it was determined this was because he was divinely chosen by God to rule the Wazmani - known as the 6 trials (details wip). Over the hundreds of years since there have been evolution of Muzhara and its interpretation and it’s caused wars and disagreements and the formation of different settlements, then sheikhdoms. In modern times the Sheikhdoms of the area were fully united around 40 years ago to create the current formation of Wazifara.
