Deshon

Deshon (Chutagshin: [dɛ'ʃon]), officially the Kingdom of Deshon (Chutagshin: Rawjhan Deshon) is a large and populous kingdom on the eastern coast of Charin that maintains territory on the nearby island chain of Manurh Aukhamer. Deshon is made up of twenty-three inner regions, called counties (Chutagshin utranher), which make up a region of between 200,000 and 260,000 square miles; it has a population of around 4 million citizens as of the Ik95 Census.

The territory now known as Deshon has been the core of west-southeastern culture for several thousand years, fluctuating in power and influence throughout its history. It commands the generalized timescale for the west-southern area and its predecessors, the Bonchet and the [MISSING], provided most of the core elements of surrounding cultures. Deshon is the 2nd-wealthiest Deshonic country (after [MISSING]) and the 3rd-wealthiest country in Charin (after [MISSING] and the Nation of Fhuirn).

Etymology
The term Deshon has been more or less preserved from its earliest form, the [MISSING] Deeshon ['dɛɪʃon]. This term derived from the noun "bonfire," deeshan, which fell out of general usage as the country took the name, and has been replaced with the Old Fylish word aghan. "Deshon" gives rise to the widespread adjective "Deshonic" (Chutagshin deshona).

History
Deshonic timekeeping begins the written records of the west-southeast.
