Chesenah

The title of Chesenah (חִסְנָא) has been applied to any major power in any specific area, and usually regarded the Hatiykhon Sea. It was first used in legal documents during the time of King David ben Yizhar of Phut, at the time spelled Cheseda. The term derives from the Old Yhudi word for "royal power", Chesen, and has been unchanged by the tides of language since around the year 1400.

Since the origin of the term, many countries have been called the "Chesenah" of their respective regions. The Kingdom of Phut, which dominated trade throughout the Hatiykhon Sea for over four centuries, was arguably the first to deserve the title

Modern Definition and Controversy
In more recent eras, there have been proposals to come up with an economic and cultural definition for when a country turns from a regular power into a Chesenah. Most proposals state that a Chesenah must control 50% of the trade traveling in and out of any rivers and lakes it borders, must have a population of over fifty million, and must have a form of currency that's been adopted by at least one country other than itself. Some of these proposals have been brought up as problematic. The Maahwpiya Republic, for example, doesn't have any ocean borders, yet can be said to have economic domination over its neighbors. The Kingdom of Chebẹkim in western Kuwesh has been called the "Chesenah of the South", yet has a population of only forty-two million.

In addition, the proposals have been called offensive by multiple human rights groups, who have mentioned the fact that outside of Maravia and Alcheblan, state structures are vastly different, meaning that in most places, economic and/or cultural domination are normally not what makes a country powerful. Other, more wide-reaching definitions have been proposed, including the lineage, trade routes, and humanitarian efforts employed by the candidate nations.
