An archipelagic island nation, Gjevuri is bounded by the Achillean Sea on all sides, sharing maritime borders with Ziridava to the east and Ausferiland to the west. The capital and most populated city is Kovashicë, located on the main island of Malësorit.

History
Gjevuri was first settled by bands of Slavs migrating from the north which preceded the arrival of the Gjevurans, a nomadic people. After some centuries of rule from principalities and states of modern-day Ziridava, the Gjevurans formed an independent Kingdom of Gjevuri which ruled from the 12th to 15th centuries and flourished as a center of maritime trade. The Gjevurans, which had primarily adhered to a form of paganism in contrast to their Slavic neighbors, were converted to Islam by merchants from across the Achellian. Religious conflict quickly caused the collapse of the Kingdom of Gjevura, splitting the island into multiple Catholic Slavic principalities and Islamic emirates.

The island was unified as the Sultanate of Ðavort under a Slavic Muslim dynasty in the 17th century, later declaring itself to be a Caliphate under the Caliph Husein Zlatarević. The Caliphate remained until 1894, when internal strife caused the monarchy to be disassembled in a Republican coup. The Republic of Gjuveri remained largely neutral through the First Great War. In 1937, ethnic conflict between Gjuverans and Catholic Slavs led to an Islamist uprising, culminating in the formation of an Islamic Republic of Gjuveri and the mass migration of many to Ziridava.

Presently, Gjuveri stands as a regional power in the Achelian Sea region.
