History of Qardasha
2021
The sultanate declared independence on November 12, 2021, by Orzan ibn Muhammad. (note this is a rough summary of the history of Qardasha, more accurate information can be found on its official website.)
The First Revolution
See Also: Qardaishan Revolution
Before being an independent micronation Qardasha was a part of another micronation known as Russiaka. According to most Qardaishans, Russiaka was a dictatorship, due to this Qardasha, under Orzan ibn Muhammad and Nafiz ibn Hassan, rebelled. The Revolution was a peaceful one with the capital quickly falling under Qardasha's control as it was left unintended. For the other provinces leaders from both sides came together and played a game of chess to see who would get the province. At the end, after a couple of games of chess, it was decided Qardasha would become independent.
Post Revolution
After the revolution, the Sultanate quickly expanded gaining more territories and growing its citizens. Life was normal and everything was fine until the Prince left. On December 20, 2021, the Prince left Qardasha after an argument with the sultan. After the Prince left he founded a new micronation the Kingdom of Alderaan. What followed was a series of arguments that eventually led to war being declared.
The 3 Hour War

The Three Hour War was a war between Qardasha and Alderaan, a result of a series of arguments. The war was fought online and wasn't fought at all, with the entire thing being staged by the prince. After the war ended Alderaan was annexed and became an autonomous region in Qardasha.
2022
Princely Wars
The princely wars was a war being fought due to the Coup of March 5, 2022. This provoked a full-scale invasion of provinces where the rebels resided, and ended in an occupation of the said province.
Ropian Wars
- See also: Ropian Wars
The conquest of Ropia was a war against another Micronation known as The Republic of Ropia. The war ended after Ropia surrendered upon seeing troops along its border. Ropia later became a vassal state to Qardasha, making it an empire. The Second Ropian war was another war against The Republic of Ropia after they were tired of being a Vassal state under Qardasha. The war ended quickly with Ropia being divided between Ropia and East Ropia. Ropia was eventually set free and Qardasha still keeps East Ropia continuing the Qardaishan Empire.
Incorporation of Zarkyiv (Qardaishan-Zarkyivian Treaty 2022)
The Republic of Zarkyiv was once an ally of Qardasha but after discussions that lasted many months, to help Zarkyiv, Zarkyiv became a vassal state to Qardasha. Officially this happened on April 6, 2021, and formally makes Zarkyiv a full Autonomous Commonwealth in the country, only furthering the Qardaishan Empire. Some people say that ever since the Ropian Wars, Qardaishan Expansionism has increased.
Skirmishes with Zarkyiv
After the incorporation of Zarkyiv, and resentment being built up by Government and Military members, many members-specifically a part of QAF, went and nuked Zarkyiv's server. This prompted Zarkyiv to leave Qardasha and cut all ties. Later, members who nuked and raided would be condemned by LIN. The Qardaishan government has still not made a statement on the topic. The Sultan has written a letter related to the topic where he tried to expose Zarkyiv's "lies". Some Qardaishans say that this situation resembled the Ropian Wars. The Qardaishan government does not reject that this never happened but instead opt to stay quiet. Despite war crimes committed against Zarkyiv, Qardasha shows no intention to punish those who have participated in the skirmish. Since then, peace talks have been going on, currently, it is unclear whether true peace has been achieved.

On May 5, 2022, after Ramadan just ended and peace was achieved, Qardasha received a threat of war from an unknown group. After further inspection and questioning, the group was an Islamic rebel group that wanted to abolish the sultanate and establish a caliphate in Qardasha. This group called themselves the "Tehreek-e-Mujahideen", immediately Qardaishan officials declared this group to be a terrorist organization as their flag had Arabic text saying "The family of the Islamic State in Pakistan" Much was not known about the group except that they wanted the abolishment of the Sultanate. One thing that was certain, was war. Over the next 2 days, many spies were sent and after one had achieved gaining an Emir role and admin in their discord server, war was declared. On May 8, 2022, the sultan, Orzan bin Muhammad made a statement to the people, saying "Savaš bašladi (The war has begun), raise the flag of war!" a couple of minutes later he declared that victory was achieved.
In the end QAF proved its might again the sultanate came out on top. What ended was the destruction of the communications of Tehreek-e-Mujahideen, their only way of attacking Qardasha. During this time, the sultanate received aid and support from many nations, some of which included, Republic of Arkazja with positive responses from Natt Falkenhausen. Many also point out the resemblance to the ropian wars, except if Ropia was bigger, and turned the tables on Qardasha.

Qardaishan Jihad Against Golden Hill
The Qardaishan Jihad Against Golden Hill was a conflict against the Republic of the Golden Hill after the leader of Golden Hill made several blasphemous remarks against the Religion of Islam.

While Qardasha was recovering, with the help of its ally the CCR, and the Allied Coalition against Golden Hill, Golden Hill surrendered on September 10, 2022, after Creekian-Qardashan forces raided the official discord server of Golden Hill. The war first began on August 28, 2022, making this war the longest war ever fought in Qardaishan History.
Qardaishan-Olovian proxy conflict
The Qardaishan Olovian proxy conflict, also referred to as the Qardaishan-Olovian Cold War, was a period of time between October 2022, and November 2022 officially ending on November 23, 2022, where Qardasha and Olov engaged in both hot wars and cold wars. The conflict began to a number of unknown causes, the main speculations being Anti-Olovian sentiment by some high-ranking officials in Qardasha and Olovian resentment over the Skirmishes with Zarkyiv.
During the conflict, the Zarkyivian Discord server was nuked while the Olovian Discord Server was raided, and the Olovian government started spread Anti-Qardaishan propaganda, although Saleh A.H claimed that he decided to cease spreading anti-Qardashian propaganda during the First Shaleh system in Zarkyiv.
During the Qardaishan Yawm-e Azadi Speech, Orzan bin Muhammad attacked Saleh A.H, calling him a disbeliever in Islam. Today, Orzan and Saleh are close friends, with Qardaishan-Olovian relations improving, after several peace resolution between both states.
Islamization of Qardasha and Qardaishan Economic Reforms
After Yawm-e Azadi (lit. Day of Independence; November 12) Qardasha saw a period of rapid Islamization, Social, Governmental, and Economic Reforms. Soon after November 12, 2022, on November 19, Orzan bin Muhammad passed the Treasury Act reforming the economy and establishing the Qardaishan Rupee as the new currency of the nation as well as setting rules for taxation. One day later, on November 10, 2022, Orzan passed the new Constitution of Qardasha having it approved by the Vizierate beforehand. The new constitution kept the same government but was more professional and acted as a real constitution rather than a set of guidelines.
Over the next month, the Sultan announced a 're-awakening' of Qardasha.
2023
Qardaishan-Greater Russian War
Soon after the new year, Qardasha declared war on Greater Russia due to blasphemous remarks and to aid their ally, the CCR. After a quick raid, Greater Russia surrendered, but Qardasha nuked their server the Treaty of New Moscow was signed. After the splitting of Greater Russia, the New Moscovian Wilayah was established. After the reunification of all territories which was divided, the current Greater Russia remains as a protectorate of Qardasha today.
Third Qardaishan Fitnah
The Third Qardaishan Fitnah was a conflict between Qardasha and the Mujahideen Coalition in Qardasha. The Islamist Partisans' aims were to overthrow the government of Qardasha due to Shia Muslims in the government as well as some high-ranking officials being Christian. Jabhat Al-Tawheed Wal Muwahideen surrendered after Qardasha nuked their server but later joined back, whilst the Emirate of Islam still continues skirmishes today. The war unofficially lasted from February 27th to July 1st, but officially lasted from May 6th till July 1st, the conflict officially lasting only 56 days. Unofficially however it is the longest conflict ever fought in Qardaishan history lasting exactly 125 days or 4 months.
The Second Revolution
The Second Revolution, also known as Orzan's Revolution or the Shi'ite Revolution, was a decree passed by Orzan on November 12, 2023 in which he disbanded the Vizierate and Imamate, disbanded the Cyber Corps of the military, changed his title from Hünkar–ı Aziz to Hünkar-ı Sariyoun, declared Twelver Shiism (sect of Islam) as the official religion, and called for the persecution of Sunni Muslims. This decree allowed the nation to transition from being a warmongering online micronation, to a more serious nation with established culture, language, and government. With the advent of this bill many positions were disbanded and many citizens belonging to Sunni islam were promptly banished from the nation. Furthermore, the Qardaishan Nobility saw a change in demographics, Orzan rising many Twelver Shia Akhbaris to the ranks. Currently, 2 our of 13 members of the Nobility are Sunnis. Furthermore, with the disbandment of the Cyber Corps, Alps were relieved of their posts and given the Medal of Service for their endeavors. In the later hours of November 12th—the Qardaishan Independence Day—Orzan did not perform a speech on Qardasha's Discord server and YouTube like 2021, opting to observe the celebrations physically in Islambol, holding a military march, a re-swearing of loyalty, and burning the Russiakan Flag accompanied by powerful speeches regarding the First Revolution and the Second Revolution.
2024
Silent Period
Following the events of the Second Revolution, the Qardaishan state entered a period of silence and isolation. Leaving itself detatched from the world. Although the nation formally still recognizes itself as an imperial power, practically the nation has become more localized. The nation formally left its online presence somehwere in the middle of 2024, claiming that the nation will remain primarily on its land in the heart of its people. Islambol's fast paced nature calming down, with little to none new government activities. The Sultan has not officially left his throne, but currently he acts more as a local chief, dealing with small local affairs. When Hurricane Berryl hit the nation, the Sultan opened the palace for residents to take shelter in, the Qardaishan Power Grid standing strong.
