History
Ganzabar's origin stems from a violent uprising in the central industrial quarters of old Azrune during the late days of The Collapse. A number of large corporations formed a co-operative union named the Zabur Alliance. The conglomeration was the first breakaway from Azrune of its scale, and set the conditions for the First Nation's gradual decline.
The Zabur Alliance eventually came under the control of Magnus Valor, who reformed it into an authoritarian empire. After some hundred years of intense unrest, Valor's regime was overthrown by a coup that instated a democratic government. The movement's leader, Gan Fellowhall, was so inspirational to the new nation that they took his name in forming a new one: Gan's Zabur. In time, this became The Free Federation of Ganzabar; the founding of which in 9107 has become a historical landmark of great significance to the Ganzabi.
Ganzabar has grown considerably in the past century, mostly through political takeover of client states or conquest. Although once a firm ally of Great Brazak, the Great Nezzu War pitted them as enemies and left relations sour with the Brazakkers. This was further hampered by Brazak West's Liberation War, resulting in their successful breakaway from the Federation. The Lystrata Commonwealth to the far west has also clashed with Ganzabar, during the Merchant Wars.
At the beginning of 9329, Ganzabar considers itself in peacetime; a cold war with the USK, known as the War of Words, notwithstanding.
