It has been inhabited for thousands of years, being among the first areas to be converted to [[Paxism]] approximately 4 thousand years ago by the disciples and acolytes of [[Prophet Besmali]] who brought some of the oldest copies of the [[Writings of Paxism]]. It's western parts were brought under the suzerainty of the Kingdom of Yehudah. It was inhabited by the Iron age Thalmanite civilisation and then the bronze age Marionite civilisation, both of which were known for their monumental architecture and the latter actually invaded and many of its people settled in northern Fidakar. It was then conquered by the Kingdom of Bakil and became part of Packilvania when [[Iktan the Devout]] declared himself the High King. It was then brought under the rule of the [[Magisterium of Paxism]] when the Iktanite dynasty collapsed in the 12th century, but came under [[Zubraynite dynasty]] rule a century or two later. It then invaded and conquered northern Fidakar, came under the Fidakarian [[Demirite dynasty]], the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]], was liberated by the [[Carriers of Mercy]] and came under the [[Bedonite dynasty]].
The Province is administered by the Governor, who is appointed by the [[Sultan of Packilvania|Sultan]], and appoints the rest of the executive branch and promulgates laws alongside the Khanoniyat, a position currently held by Prince Harim, brother to former Sultan [[Namdun III]]. The government is seated in [[Zukaril]] and is characterised by a pro-business economic policy, giving rise to the richest province by GDP and GDP per capita. It is arguably home the biggest reserves of fossil fuels in the world and is one of if not the largest producer. It further benefits from large petrochemical industries, tourism, property development and modest manufacturing industries.

The people then began to use tools made from metals by being able to use wood and furnaces to create hot fires that enabled them to smelt and refine ores. The civilisations in the area were largely small tribes and city states that were often engaged in warfare against each other. With the advent of writing from the nations in [[Ashura]] and the codification of mythologies and laws by prominent writers and scholars such as [[Prophet Besmali]] and Lord Tiraz Mahal that today form the [[Writings of Paxism]], systems of government were established that led to the formation of larger Kingdoms that encompassed large areas.

In the area that makes up [[Zukaril]], was ruled by the Kingdom of Turhadek in the 2nd millenium BCE, arguably the oldest of the ancient kingdoms which was destroyed a few centuries later. The Sorceriocracy of Exkhanad was established some centuries later based on mystical traditions that incorporated [[Paxism]] with native traditions, astrology and sorcery. Parts of the western nations were absorbed by the Kingdom of Yehudah. Some eventually became independent of the Central [[Ufrata River]] Basin kingdoms such as a matriarchal polity called the Queendom of Zukaril. In the early 1st millenium CE, the Kingdom of Bakil again from the Central Ufrata River Basin invaded and subsumed the Kingdoms in the Iganar area, especially to the west and interior. ▼

Parts of the western nations were absorbed by the Kingdom of Yehudah. Some eventually became independent of the Central [[Ufrata River]] Basin kingdoms such as a matriarchal polity called the Queendom of Zukaril. A large group of people existed here called the Thalmanites who also lived in southern Jumhurikesh. In the early 1st millenium CE, there existed the Marionites in the interior and south of Iganar who migrated and conquered central Fidakar. They were superceded by the Kingdom of Bakil again from the Central Ufrata River Basin invaded
Kingdoms further to the east were absorbed into the expanded Kingdom of Bakil which is now known as [[Packilvania]] by the Iktan dynasty following attempts by [[Iktan the Devout]] to suppress the proliferation of a religious text known as the Haagemar which was commissioned by the Warmadite dynasty King Obed II of [[Bingol]]. Iganar remained an integral part of Packilvania for centuries until the Iktanite dynasty fell in the 12th century which gave rise to petty kingdoms that remained under the suzerainty of the [[Magisterium of Paxism]] which managed to remain in power based out of the city of [[Adrien]] and exercised control over the historic territories of the old Kingdom of Bakil. In the area comprising modern day Mekedesh, the Ruler of Tashkar, [[Ishak I]], defeated and conquered Bingol and began an expansion that saw Iganar become part of the reestablished Packilvania under the [[Zubraynite dynasty]]. In the late 13th century, the Zubraynite dynasty faced financial and political issues that gave rise to instability and resistance including from the feudal lords of Iganar who switched their allegiance to the more prosperous and militarily powerful Kingdom of Fidakar under the [[Demirite dynasty]] whose head, [[Saidun the Conqueror]] became the first [[Sultan of Packilvania]].▼

Iganar became a province that was increasingly governed by representatives of the central government in Bingol. It was one of the last parts of Packilvania to fall to the rule of the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]] during the First Packilvanian Civil War. Attempts to suppress religion by the government led by [[Gideon Muktan]] and its successors were largely unsuccessful. Despite the role of religion being circumscribed for thousands of years and the systemic termination and displacement of minority species and religious groups. Massive oil and gas deposits were discovered in the 20th century in addition to existing oil, gas and coal reserves that fuelled the Packilvanian economy. Around halfway through the Second Packilvanian Civil War, Iganar switched allegiance to the [[Carriers of Mercy]] which by that time ruled over Ashura, [[Shakar]] and [[Jumhurikesh]] and claimed to be the sole government of the country. It was the site of heavy fighting between the Communists and the Carriers, such that a nuclear attack on the town of Ashmayira prompted the collapse of the Communist government and the establishment of a theocratic absolute monarchy under the [[Bedonite dynasty]].▼

Iganar is a mid-sized province by Packilvanian standards. The [[Ufrata River]] runs through here before going to Ashura. The river is deep and wide, and lacks rapids. Thus, it is highly navigable. Along its banks, especially during Summer in Vekaiyu, swell and much of the area is waterlogged for most of the year. Thus, a rich ecosystem of wetlands has emerged. Portions of the Jumhur River also flow into Iganar. The eastern portions of the province has a more moderate climate where it rains in winter (which is fairly cool) and summers are hot and dry. The interior is arid, being largely hot and dry for most of the year except for a few months of rain. The east is very dry save for rivers and oases. Iganar has some mountain ranges, the highest point being ''luShumet aSadhil'' (Mount Sadhil) at 1,100 metres above sea level.
Iganar is home to animals such as elephants, cheetahs, leopards, lions, zebra, giraffe, meerkats, mongoose, aardvarks, porcupines, hedgehogs, anteaters, pangolins, and various antelope. Iganar is home to a large population of fresh water fish for its size and aridity. It has large migratory populations. The province suffers from various environmental challenges such as carbon emissions, light pollution from its cities, eutrophication and sedimentation of its rivers and streams due to excessive fertiliser use, soil degradation, poaching and destruction of wetlands for housing and agriculture. As other desert facing provinces, Iganar is undertaking a tree and shrub replanting initiative that has planted millions of trees. Despite commitments to cut carbon emissions, there is no evidence of concrete government action. The area is susceptible to sandstorms which can cause respiratory issues, severe discomfort and property damage.

}}
As with other provinces in Packilvania, Iganar is nominally subservient to the Imperial Government, but in reality has been devolved considerable autonomy over its internal affairs. Its government is helmed by the Meer who is appointed by the Sultan for as long as he pleases. The Meer in turn appoints the Premier and the Provincial Council of Ministers who run the provincial government on a daily level. The Khanoniyat makes the laws. Its upper house, the Legislative Council consists of representatives from religious, minority, professional, business, and local government bodies while the less powerful Representative Assembly is selected by a lottery. In both bodies, there are minimum quotas for the representation of women, youth and minorities. The Meer in turn promulgates the laws which are applied and interpreted by the judiciary which is appointed and accountable to the Imperial Government.

Iganar is a major destination and producer of music in Packilvania. It is home to the largest music and art festival in the country, the ''luJublafiya aluOstiqa aluKhayas'' (the Desert Fire Celebration) which attracts over 2 million people annually with several days of camping, playing of music, dancing, and displays of art especially a monumental sculpture made of wood that us burnt to mark the end of the festival. By Packilvanian standards, festivals in Iganar have been criticised by conservative commentators as places of "excess, modernity and debauchery" while being lauded by the youth and international critics as enabling a "rare outlet for self expression and ecstasy". Iganar is the home of prolific musicians such as Nawahad, Bajhar Akhnoud, Ladween Yuber and others who composed for royalty and whose hymns still comprise the Paxist liturgy centuries after they were written. The province is also home to the prestigious Princess Jabraya Conservatory of Classical Art and Calligraphy at the University of Qayeer which preserve the art forms of calligraphy and traditional painting that have been invented in Iganar and spread throughout the country.

}}
Iganar houses some of the largest collections of antiquities and fossils on the planet. The government and privately owned galleries and collection contain individual samples of fossils and of sentient artefacts. Iganar is a major site for archeology due to the ancient civilisations that inhabited it. Furthermore, during the Ice Age, when it was more lush and cool, it was home to massive populations of modern and pre-modern sentient beings enable huge finds that have helped sapient kind trace its archeological roots. With the invention of writing such as on stone tablets, clay slabs and eventually paper, the province has a rich collection of written artefacts including manuscripts and steles. Iganar has carefully excavated, studied and preserved these ancient treasures and established one of the largest systems of museums and galleries in the world including the Zukaril Museum of Natural History, the largest collection of skeletons in the country, so vast that many are not on display and many are sent on long term exhibitions around the country and the world. Iganar has a massive library system that is arguably the largest in the country and includes the Qadash Kebir Imperial Library, a collection that was created by the Demirite dynasty, and added to over time.
