Kushari or the Kushari people are an ethnic group native to a swampy mountainous region of Southern Seres known as Kusharidan, which spans southwestern Cedronia, northern Sertoria, Rexia, and southeastern Barcasia. There are also exclaves of Kushars in the Celestial Hegemony. Additionally, there are significant Kushari diaspora communities in cities throughout Cedronia, and Barcasia due to the once thriving and rampant enslavemet and displacement of the Kushari. Numerically, the Kushari are estimated to number 20 million, making them the largest ethnic group without a state.

Kushars speak the Kushari language. Religiously, the majority of Kushari belong to their native faith of the All-Family, although there is a large minority who practice Asharism. Other minorities of the Kushari people are adherents to Orthodoxism.

Historically, the Kushari were the primary group of the Kushari Empire, the main naval power in the Kushar Sea and a great power on land. They were known for their brutality which included slavery and human sacrifices. While the Kushari Empire wasn't an expansionist power, the Kushari did require their surrounding neighbors to send tithes of gold and humans to run their empire. The Kushari Empire was destroyed during the rise of Not!Alexander the Great. Since then, the Kushari have been reduced to an enslaved people and have not have a state since. Numerous genocides of the Kushari have cause a great many rebellions, including the current ongoing armed guerrilla conflict in Barcasia and the autonomous state of the Co-Operative Parishes of Kusharidan in Cedronia.
