Uulgadzar (Uulgadzan: Уулгазар [ʊʊɮɡatsar]), officially the Uulgadzar Republic (Uulgadzan: Бүгд Найрамдах Уулгазар Улс [pukt nɛːramtax ʊʊɮɡatsar ʊɮs]) is a land-locked devolved unitary semi-presidential republic under a substantive democracy in Ostlandet. It is bordered by Estcharia to the west, Baltanla to the north, Zloveshchiy to the east, Gjorka to the southeast, and Ajakanistan to the south. It is well-known for its sprawling steppe and "shining" mountains. Uulgadzar has a land area of TBD. Its total population, according to the 2020 census, is 4,926,306. Its capital and largest city is Uulhot.
The Uulgadzan people first arrived in the area of modern Uulgadzar in about 4000 BCE. Permanent settlements first began in about 400 CE, with the first united nation of Uulgadzan people being formed in around 670 CE, being named the Union of Uul. In 1593, the Mountain Wars erupted between the Uulgadzan Kingdom and TBD. After the Mountain Wars, the borders of Uulgadzar remained mostly unchanged for the rest of its history. In 1978, the Silent Coup abolished the monarchy and created a more open democracy in Uulgadzar. In 1979, the Uulgadzar Republic was formed.
Since 1990 the quality of life and quality of education in Uulgadzar has improved. A study in 2011 showed that the average Uulgadzan person would receive 3 more years of education in 2010 than they would have in 1990. The percentage of college graduates in the nation rose from 19.5% in 1985 to 68.9% in 2015. The nation's main exports are wheat, maize, coal, and meats (beef, pork, and chicken). It is a secular state, however most people in Uulgadzar follow a religion, according to the 2020 census.
Etymology
Uulgadzar (уулгазар) comes from uul (уул) meaning mountain and from gadzar/gazar (газар) meaning ground or land. The two words were separated formally until the 19th century, when the nation's name was changed from Uul Gadzar to Uulgadzar. However, informally the words had been united as early as the 15th century.
History
Prehistory
The ancient Uulgadzan people first arrived in the area that is now Uulgadzar in about 4000 BCE. Very little is known about these people. They were mostly nomadic and domesticated horses.
The first Stepadnó people arrived in the area that is now east Uulgadzar around 2500 BCE. Ancient cave drawings from the area the Stepadnó were believed to inhabit show some people- most likely Uulgadzans- attacking their primitive villages.
Tribal era
It is believed that some ancient Uulgadzan groups settled down around 1000 BCE, during the advent of writing in Uulgadzar. Most of these settlements have been lost to time, however some buildings have been excavated and some of these villages have lasted through time, like the now-capital of Uulgadzar, Uulhot.
During the tribal era, the first large-scale structures were created as religious buildings. One of the largest structures was discovered near Khushir in 1964 during an archaeology expedition where one of the locals reported a building sticking out of the ground after a drought. The structure is believed to be a building dedicated to Uulgadzan shamanism.
During the late tribal era, around 300-600 CE, it is believed that the first skirmishes between the Uulgadzan people and the Stepadnó erupted. It is also believed that the raids on Stepadnó villages ended around this time.
