Kyrzbekistan, officially the Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan is a eastern Brigidnian country in Siora. Kyrzbekistan is a landlocked country, which shares a border with the Ga'bath in the west, Zargistan in the south, and A'sir in the north.

"Kyrgyz" is believed to have been derived from the Turkic word for "forty", in reference to the forty clans of Manas, a legendary hero who united forty regional clans against the Uyghurs. Literally, Kyrgyz means We are forty. At the time, in the early 9th century AD, the Uyghurs dominated much of Central Asia (including Kyrgyzstan), Mongolia, and parts of Russia and China.[18]

The 40-ray sun on the flag of Kyrgyzstan is a reference to those same forty tribes and the graphical element in the sun's center depicts the wooden crown, called tunduk, of a yurt – a portable dwelling traditionally used by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia.

Etymology

"Kyrzbek" is believed to have been derived from the word for "four hundred" in Kyrzbek language, in reference to the confederation of Kyrzbek tribes which settled down in today northeastern Kyrzbekistan and souther A'Sir in the 12th century BCE. The suffix "-istan" means "place of" in A'Sirian language. Therefore, Kyrzbekistan translates to land of the Kyrzbeks. However, historically the word "Kyrzbekistan" was only used to a reference of the northeastern region of the Kingdom of Arberia, and not the country as a whole. The word "Kyrzbekistan" in today sense was used for first time by Kyrzbek nationalist in early 1520s.

The Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan states that the demonym Kyrzbekistani shall apply to every citizen of Kyrzbekistan, independently of their ethnic or religious background.
