"West Crown"), officially the Commonwealth of Seogwan (: 𒀸𒅈𒀝𒊌𒅇 𒌌𒈠𒀾𒄀𒋾𒅋 ; : ܐܲܫܲܪܲܓܘ݂ܟܘܼܟ ܘܠܡܲܐܵܫ݇ܓܝܼܛܝܼܠ, : Ašaragukùak Ulmaášgitiil), is a country in South Yoju bordered by Mennefer to the north and the Red Yi Sea to the west, across which it faces Nehset. The country's populace is concentrated around four historically significant cities: Nippur, Rakh, Maikh and Kanesh. The territory also encompasses two islands: Il-Jazirra by the northwestern coast and Masirah further onto the sea. A of fertile plains, lofty mountains, and deserts, Seogwan is home to diverse ethnic and religious groups, including  and Seogwanian Hadahsians,, , , and. Moreover, it contains the largest of Araswans and Yondokese, and a significant diaspora of Basanreserians, Tosanese and Juponese. Religious groups include, , , Coptics, , Tanishanists, and. Seogwanians constitute the largest ethnic group, and Hoigyites are the largest religious group.

Seogwan is a  dictated by  and consisting of 27 muḥāfaẓāt (縣州; "governorates"). Since the country's restoration of democracy and in 2007, the new series of governments have unanimously adopted Salahism (: ܝܠ݇ܣܲܠܲܗܝ݂ܝܲܗ݇ Il-ṣalāḥīyah "Uprightism"), a modern  of , in which , instead of individuals, amount for 78.4% of  and are absent from international.

The first arrived to Seogwan in the  (roughly 65,000 BCE), living somewhat nomadically and close to the Mašu Mountain's, downhill along the Purattu River, around the Purattu Estuary, or by the western coastline. Starting from 12,000 BCE, human settlements rigified, forming seven distinct cultures. In 9,500 BCE, an ensued, which led to the development of, , and. In the following millennia, political power was vested in local and. Accounting was facilitated with, which became the basis for the Nippurian developed circa 4,000 BCE. A surge in population around the same era was instrumental to the transposition into a rudimentary in 2,800 BCE, defined by the hereditary rule of.

The ancient Seogwanese dynasties were and, and endured numerous collapses and resurrections in the span of two millennia. like Ugart and Dez-Huyi were major with Akhabi, Araswan and Nehsetian partners, whereas trade with Mennefer was carried out on land, from the mercantile hubs of Ghalzur and Nippur. of crucial areas in the 100–0 BCE period however, due to the previous centuries' rampant, led to the ultimate dissolution of the empires. Seogwanese were thereafter ruled by, and those bordering Mennefer paid a monthly. A rebellion against this tribute in Dingiri was met with the Battle of Vindictive Sunrays (537 CE), which saw the entire Seogwanese territory submit to the Takhuit dynasty.

During the early to mid-8th century CE, the dynasty gradually dissolved due political turmoil in Mennefer proper, conceding the authority over Seogwanese city-states to local nobility. Thousands of missionaries and refugees from the strifes in Mennefer found their way to Seogwan later that century, and were enthusiastic in spreading the new religion. Many of the newly emerged Seogwanese kings and nobility, presumably aware of their restored city-states' fragility, voluntarily converted to, in an attempt to appeal to the surge of immigrants. They also adopted their and conformed it to their needs. In an unprecedented council of all kings in 802 CE, a  (ܟܲܠܝ݂ܦ "successor [to the Prophet]") was appointed, thereby conjoining the lands under a dynastic Seogwanese Caliphate. The new regime, receiving another wave of Hoigyist refugees in 1299, paved the way to a golden era of advancements in arts, education, sciences, and governance surrounding the Hoigyist  (ܩܪܝܢܐ "Scripture").

The discovery and cartography of the Napsal peninsula by Jeongmian explorers in the late 16th century (shortly succeeding the discovery of Miju) garnered interest from Imperial Tosan, which sent out two in 1628; one seizing control of Masirah, and the other forming a  near Maikh. In the same period, Imperial Nukigurun was expanding southwards to central Yoju. The Šijen Emperor, wanting desperate access to the Red Yi Sea and to Seogwanese resources, offered a stockpile of and  to elderly Kalif Allamu, for him to appoint his seventh son Aisin Solho Lunggi (instead of Allamu's son Emir Muwatalli) as the next kalif, with the promise that Lunggi will convert to Hoigyo. This admittance was received controversially by the people, but they were reconciled in the 1675 Siege of Maikh, when the incumbent Lunggi and his army successfully thwarted the Tosanese invasion.

The Caliphate, now decisively under a Nuki dynasty, was appropriated by a combinatory influx of Nuki (in the north) and Tosanese (in the south) settlers. In exchange for providing both empires affordable resources, the native Seogwanese were treated with dignity, were assimilated to the Sinjuan Mindset (神洲心態), and enjoyed various privileges. With a modernized infrastructure, army, and governance, the Caliphate was able to lead conquests in the 18th century as far as Aryadesh, becoming a short-lived. At the same time however, the Caliphate was experiencing a, which was temporarily resolved by diminishing its army.

This gap was then exploited by Imperial Basanreseri, which ambushed the Seogwanese coast in 1796, in what is known as the Maikh Massacre. The Basanreserian army marched inland, annexing Maikh, Ghalzur and Nippur, until the Caliphate's surrender the following year. By then, Seogwan had been reduced to its former self, relinquishing the previous century's acquisitions. A Basanreserian mandate was imposed, under which the kalif was reduced to a, and the Basanreserian ssichun (使將/씨춘; "ambassador-general") was rendered leader. The 144-year-long Basanreserian rule is to this day considered a brutal period, due to the ssichuns' indifference towards the national affairs, the immiseration of diasporic businesses, and the total deprivation of Seogwanese natives' resources for the hasty industrialization of Basanreseri. Moreover, Seogwan had to endure the Great Depression with limited resources, as well as form a rudimentary army for the Eulhae War. The Mennefer-Seogwan border was a crucial theater during the confrontation of Jeongmi and Nukigurun; the latter was supported by Basanreserian and Seogwanese conscripts.

Upon the loss of the Contingents and upon a four-year-long democratizatory supervision from Jeongmi and Meisaan, Seogwan was finally granted independence as a. It received three shares of amounting to 圓1.448 billion from one newly-founded OTED. It also officialized in its constitution and carried out a rapid industrialization effort, whose success was applauded as a "Seogwanese Miracle". In 1963, the republic was compromised by a military takeover led by General Namkuzukha Hazi, who was determined to build a robust army and war against Mennefer, only for his plans to be foiled by the popular February Uprising.

Contemporary Seogwan has since regained worldwide trust by ranking high on democratic indices. It is considered a without a. Seogwan is infamous for being the world's largest exporter of. Recent exposure to Seogwanese culture from Basanreserian and Yedal media have also promoted tourism in the country. Seogwan also hosts prestigious universities and exotic art exhibitions, and has a competent public healthcare system. Seogwan is a member of the Congress of Nations and the Yuhua Alliance.
