Jiyan

Jiyan, officially the United Clans of Jiyan, situated in Halus's south between Sarantis Bay at its west and the River Veridon at its east, is a province and union member state covered almost entirely in forests and is also the historical, and current, homeland of the Nyari race. The name of the province is simply the Old Nyari word for 'home', the one word for the land that everyone has been the great forest for centuries. The province contains a vast majority of the union's Nyari while also being home to small populations of Dimians and Thaste.

Three Nations
Before the formation of the Union, the area of Jiyan consisted of three close-knit but culturally distinct nations: Hiyoko in the north, Yonssang in the south west and Laoshai in the east. Each of these nations represents a group of Clans which were united under a common leader in the name of cultural solidarity.

Clans
The official administrative subdivisions of the province of Jiyan are 'clans'. These are regions consisting of traditional clan territories existing since before the unification into the current government. They are each lead by a chief, with the power structure being reminiscent of the traditional format, albeit somewhat modernised and formalised. The clans in Jiyan are as follows, roughly from north to south, grouped by nation:
