Nusaira, officially Karatuan Nusaira (ᬓᬭᬢᬸᬯᬦ᭄ᬡᬸᬲᬿᬭ) is an island country located in North Archanta. Its largest city is Pagarpura, which also serves as one of the nation's most prominent port cities. Nusaira's government is a constitutional parliamentary monarchy, with power shared between the monarch and parliament. Initially, the capital or monarch resides at the center of Nusa Sura, Purwapura. By 1489, a new monarch palace is built in the south coast of the Mount Tabik along with the legislative branch and most government institutions in the Pagarpura. Nusaira is known for its religious diversity and harmony, reflected by the many places of worship found even in rural areas. The country's constitution guarantees freedom of worship and the right to proselytize other faiths.

Historically, Nusaira was once a collection of tribal regions known as Jějari ᬚᭂᬚᬭᬶ, each led by a Ratualam and practicing animism before the 5th century. The arrival of the Dharmapala (a Hindu-Buddhist syncretistic tradition) in the 4th century ushered in a period of unification under King Jayanusa, who assumed the title of Ratualam. Following his consolidation of power, King Jayanusa restructured the regional leadership, replacing the title Ratualam with Ratuadat for the leaders of Jějari territories.

King Jayanusa's reign also marked the adoption of an isolationist policy with limited trade focused on exporting spices, particularly nutmeg and cloves, which defined the kingdom for centuries. However, during the Age of Discovery in the 14th century, Nusaira opened its borders to expand its participation in regional trade, welcoming new religions such as Imani and Kristian to the island.

In the 14th century, Nusaira became a tributary state under Majesia. Following the fall of Majesia, the new government known as Kesulatanan Majesia replaced the previous regime. Nusaira subsequently regained its independence later in the 16th century. Despite periods of small civil unrest between the 19th to 21st centuries, Nusaira has remained a monarchy and maintained a strong mercantile economy. In recent decades, the nation's tourism sector has flourished, attracting visitors with its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.

The Nusaira have a population of roughly 1,5 million people, with approximately 1,3 million people identifying as Arunese nationals. A small population of foreign residents makes up the remaining percentage. The islands are predominantly homogenous in terms of ethnicity and culture, with Arunese people comprising around 90% of the nation's population. Minority ethnic groups within the nation include Majan, Tay'yanar, Kapasigan, Lutang, and other North Archantan.

Languages

Basa Aru is the sole official language of Nusaira, spoken by the vast majority of the population. The language holds a central role in government, education, and daily life. While Basa Aru is the predominant language, there are small communities that speak other languages due to historical migration, coastal traditions, and trade.

One notable minority language is Basa Karang (Reef Sign Language), a visual-gestural language developed and used by fishing and diving communities along Nusaira’s coral-rich coasts. Traditionally used underwater or on boats, it is an important part of maritime heritage and continues to be actively used within coastal villages and passed down through generations.

Religion

The constitution of Nusaira guarantees full religious freedom. The people of Nusaira are predominantly Dharmapala, with an estimated 81% of the population practicing the faith. However, this number may not include those who are culturally affiliated but do not attend religious services regularly. Seven percent of the population practices other religions or are animism, reflective of Nusaira’s diverse heritage and openness to different spiritual traditions.
