The Kingdom of Vaktria, often referred to as Ancient Vaktria, Classical Vaktria, or simply Vaktria (Vaktrian: Ⲯⲁⲕⲧⲣⲓⲁⲋⲁⲛ Vaktrıasan), was a monarchy in on the Andaluzian coast that existed from 800 BCE to 30 CE. Its inhabitants were the ancient Vaktrians who spoke Classical Vaktrian. The kingdom was ruled successively by three dynasties: the Chernastid, Putrasamid, and Havusmanid. Its capital was Dastivus.

History
Origins
Proto-Vaktrian city-states existed along the Maplas and Kher rivers and the Andaluzian coast for more than a millenia before the Kingdom of Vaktria. They were generally all patriarchical autocracies ruled by a single family. The Chernastid dynasty ruled over the city-state of Dastivus (Vaktrian: Ḍaštivaıs; Ϯⲁϣⲧⳅⲯⲁⲓⲋ) since c. 900 BCE. Chernastum I, whom his dynaty is named for, began a military campaign in 875 BCE to conquer neighboring cities. By the beginning of the 8th century BCE, he had conqured all of the Vaktrian speaking cities along the Maplas and southward. Chernastum declared himself Ultav or king of Vaktria with Dastivus as the capital. The previous rulers of the conquered cities generally remained in power as Ultavnin (meaning little ruler).
Chernastid dynasty
Chernastum died a few years after the establishment of the kingdom. His descendants ruled for about 200 years until 600 BCE. This era was one of noerthward expansion. The rule of Chernastum's great-grandson, Miskarnam I, saw the greatest amount of growth within the dynasty, with his army's capturing lands up to Chattezifria island.
