The Iméélul Mountain Range defines the northeast, whose highest peak is Mount Zuadu at 4,040 m (13,250 ft). With a population of over 50 million, Khuizaang is among the most populous countries in Miju. Its and largest city is Rokulan. Other major cities include Abe, Mõanga, and Naktonklok.

The first recorded settlers on what is now Khuizaang were the, who founded kingdoms in Robaga (9th-8th centuries BCE), Kifen (8th-7th century BCE), Tsihalbonto (8th-7th century BCE), Kawas (2nd-1st century BCE), and Bikor (2nd-1st century BCE). The area was incorporated into the short-lived -led Gbomue Empire, originating in modern-day southern Wokajoor. Even after the Empire's dissolution in the 1st century CE, a great portion of (such as Kpolowoo and ) had relocated and continued to exert their influence on Khuizaangan. A controversial in the 6th century seized the town of Apirang and led to a long-lasting ethnic conflict, after which the  assumed a  in otherwise. Spanning from the 7th to 17th century, the Cloudy Ages, a period generally lacking in, has been confirmed to be the of , , and. Sinjuan expeditions first landed on Khuizaang in 1642, setting up trade forts and nearby the varying ethnic groups, and exploiting  set by the indigenous. In 1847, Imperial Meisaan signed a treaty with one hundred chieftains, and Khuizaang was declared a colonial protectorate. The populace was quickly forced to work in iron mining deemed essential for Meisaani industrialization and the construction of a Wokajoor–Khuizaang railway. Met with turbulent resistance, Meisaani colonials undertook a campaign of mixed-race fostering and accomplished the pacification of the colony, although destitution in the Great Depression and Eulhae War eventually led to a strong independence movement. Officially recognized in 1945, the First Republic lasted only a decade, before being overthrown by General Teliano Sõn-kaai. Driven by collaborationism with Meisaan, Khuizaang was modernized and its industry expanded. Extensive repression of human rights, however, inspired a non-violent insurgency in 1983, which succeeded in abdicating Teliano.

Following the proclamation of a Second Republic, president Poévogui Swo-yũũ (Jyugaadong) restored the, all the while assigning his cabinet in. In 1992, after he had motivated the Parliament to pass a law that would extend his term, the country fell into a constitutional crisis. The new constitution saw the adoption of an electoral college aimed at undermining Poévogui's. Poévogui's confidant, Habalamou Soú-piin, was elected in his stead, and after serving one term was again supplanted by Poévogui. Khuizaang's displayed, shift to authoritarianism, and interventionism, as Poévogui continues to dominate Khuizaangan politics, has since negatively affected the country's foreign relations and perception by co-members of the Congress of Nations.

Etymology
The name Khuizaang (巋崢, lit. "tall and lofty") is derived from an early-colonial name for the Iméélul Mountain Range; the latter now called Kwaimaak (巋脈). However, the proper name became more prominent in the early 18th century, and the country was priorly called Nyunsai (暖西 "warm west") in official statements of Meisaan. The current name was likely influenced by Meisaani-based, such as the now official Ngonkiili and Bekiili. Citizens of Khuizaang are thus referred to as 巋崢人 Khuizaangjan. Various indigenous names have since been proposed, most notably Fílákáng ("fallow neck" in ) and Suw̃adabagda ("place of attentive crocodiles" in ), but these have not entered mainstream use.
