Confederacy of Hindvi Swaraj — Land of the Mountain Lion

In the heart of the Indian subcontinent, where the Western Ghats rise like a stone spine against the coastal winds, lies the Confederacy of Hindvi Swaraj — a proud union of warrior clans, merchant ports, and fertile plains united under the banner of Chhatrapati Shivaji Rao Bhonsle.

Founded on the ideals of Swaraj — self-rule, justice, and protection of the common people — the Confederacy stretches from the Konkan coast’s roaring Arabian waters to the Deccan plateau’s sweeping plains, with fortresses perched like eagles upon hilltops.

Boundaries & Territory
Historically inspired by the Maratha sphere at its height, the Confederacy’s dominion spans:

West – The fortified coastline from Goa in the south to the ports of Surat in the north, with naval power dominating Konkan waters.

South – The passes of Karnataka, reaching up to the frontiers near Mysore.

East – The river basins around Nagpur and the Berar plains, gateway to the Gond territories.

North – The approaches to Malwa, threatening the Mughal heartlands but always balancing diplomacy with force.

Political Structure
A confederacy in name, the realm is bound together by a network of Maratha sardars (chieftains), each ruling their jagirs (fiefs) but owing loyalty and troops to the Chhatrapati. Decision-making blends the council at Raigad with the independence of the provinces, ensuring flexibility in both war and trade.

Military Might
The Maratha light cavalry sweeps across the Deccan like desert wind, unmatched in speed and maneuver, while ghurab and galbat warships dominate the coastal routes, choking enemy supply lines. Stone bastions like Raigad, Pratapgad, and Sinhagad form an iron network of defense.

Economy & Culture
The Confederacy thrives on a mix of agriculture, inland trade, and maritime commerce, taxing the Mughal caravans and safeguarding merchant fleets. Marathi culture flourishes alongside Persianate diplomacy, and the arts celebrate not courtly opulence but heroic deeds, saints, and the spirit of the land.

Above all, the Confederacy is not just a political entity — it is a living oath that no foreign power shall dictate the destiny of Hindvi soil.

History: The Confederacy of Hindvi Swaraj traces its birth to the vision of Chhatrapati Shivaji Rao Bhonsle, a warrior-king who sought to unite the Deccan under Swaraj — the right of the people to rule themselves. Rising in the 17th century from the hill-forts of the Sahyadris, Shivaji and his sardars resisted the imperial ambitions of the Mughals, the Bijapur Sultanate, and European colonial powers. Through a network of forts, swift cavalry raids, and a fearsome coastal navy, the Confederacy carved its dominion from the Konkan coast to the Deccan plateau. Over time, the Confederacy evolved into a union of semi-autonomous provinces bound by loyalty to the Chhatrapati at Raigad, preserving both unity in war and freedom in governance. Even in modern times, the Confederacy holds to its founding oath: no foreign ruler shall dictate the destiny of Hindvi soil.
Geography
Continent: Asia
Land Area: 11,265.38 sq. km
Terrain: The Confederacy’s terrain is as varied as its people. To the west, the rugged Konkan coast forms a natural shield, with beaches, rocky headlands, and fortified harbors. Rising sharply inland are the Sahyadri mountains (Western Ghats), where basalt cliffs and dense forests guard the passes. Beyond lies the fertile Deccan plateau, rolling plains broken by volcanic hills and river valleys. The eastern marches open into agricultural heartlands, while the south transitions into semi-arid scrublands dotted with thorn forests. Strategic forts crown many hilltops, forming an iron network of defense.
Highest Peak: Kalsubai, 1,646 meters
Lowest Valley: Bhima River Basin, 500 meters
Climate: The Confederacy enjoys a tropical monsoon climate. Summers (March–June) are hot and dry, especially on the plateau, while the coastal Konkan remains humid and breezy. The southwest monsoon (June–September) drenches the Ghats, feeding rivers and sustaining fertile farmlands. Winters (November–February) bring mild, pleasant days and cool nights, ideal for campaigning and trade. Rainfall is abundant in the west, while the eastern interior receives less, relying on seasonal rivers and irrigation.

Economy
Description: Economy:
The Confederacy of Hindvi Swaraj operates a centre-right mercantile-capitalist economy, driven by free enterprise and competitive markets, but tempered by state oversight in sectors deemed critical to sovereignty — echoing the old Maratha policy of controlling forts, passes, and ports.

Private Sector Dominance: Most industries are privately owned, from agriculture and manufacturing to services and technology. The Confederacy encourages entrepreneurship, family-owned enterprises, and cooperative ventures, especially in rural areas. Business guilds — modern descendants of historic sheti (farmer) and vyapari (merchant) councils — wield considerable influence in shaping local economies.

Strategic State Control: Ports, shipyards, arms manufacturing, and certain resource industries (iron, oil, and rare earths) are under partial or full government control. This mirrors the Maratha tradition of fortifying and guarding strategic assets while letting commerce thrive in peacetime.

Trade & Commerce: The nation is a major exporter of textiles, steel, agricultural goods, and maritime technology. Free trade agreements with allies ensure steady inflows of capital and goods, while tariffs protect certain domestic industries from foreign competition. The Konkan coast remains the Confederacy’s economic lifeline, bustling with shipyards, fisheries, and container terminals.

Infrastructure & Connectivity: Modern highways, rail networks, and ports form the economic arteries of the state, while smart cities blend historical architecture with cutting-edge technology to attract tourism and investment.

Social Safety Nets: Though market-oriented, the government funds rural electrification, basic healthcare, and education, ensuring that economic growth does not leave the countryside behind. Cooperative farming models preserve village solidarity while boosting yields through modern technology.

Economic Position:
Firmly centre-right — pro-business, trade-friendly, and market-driven — but with a nationalist protectionist core. It blends Maratha-era pragmatism in resource control with the modern Indian model of mixed capitalism, creating a system that values both prosperity and sovereignty.
Average Yearly Income: $95.86
Gross Domestic Product (GDP): $1,786,969,600.00
GDP per Capita: $2,831.02
Gross National Income (GNI): $1,285,714,690.00
Industries: Major industries include agriculture, maritime trade, textile weaving, shipbuilding, iron and weapon forging, tourism focused on historic forts and culture, and spice exports.
Military
History: Military Forces:
The Armed Forces of the Confederacy of Hindvi Swaraj embody the old Maratha doctrine of ganimi kava — unconventional warfare, lightning raids, and mastery of terrain — fused with the organization and technology of a modern military.

Army: The backbone is a rapid-reaction corps modeled on the famed Maratha light cavalry, now mechanized into fast armoured regiments and mobile artillery units. Mountain infantry specialize in fort and hill warfare, trained to hold high ground like their ancestors at Sinhagad and Pratapgad.

Navy: Inspired by the legendary fleets of Kanhoji Angre, the modern Samudra Rakshak Sena operates stealth frigates, missile corvettes, and coastal patrol craft, ensuring dominance in the Arabian Sea. Amphibious marine brigades provide the capacity for littoral strikes and island defense.

Air Force: The Hindvi Vayu Sena combines multi-role fighter squadrons, attack helicopters, and drones for reconnaissance and precision strikes, enabling the Confederacy to project force swiftly over its vast terrain.

Doctrine & Training: Military strategy emphasizes speed over static defense, intelligence-driven operations, and decentralized command — each regional commander is trained to operate independently if cut off from central command, reflecting the old Maratha confederacy’s resilience.

The spirit of the hill forts still beats in the heart of the Confederacy’s warriors — only now, the horses are armoured vehicles, the warships carry missiles, and the messengers ride the sky.
