Arcadian Azania
Arcadian Azania (Greek: Αρκαδική Αζανία) was one of the subdivisions in ancient Arcadia along with Parrhasia and Lycaonia. Ancient Azania was in an area that are now the area of Kalavryta, Achaea and Feneos, western Corinthia. It was inhabited by the Arcadian tribe of the Azanes, named after Azan, son of the mythical king Arcas. The son of Azan was Kleitor, founder of the city Kleitor.[1] Strabo mentioned the Azanes as an Arcadian tribe, one of the oldest Greek tribes.[2]
Azanas was divided into five city states, Kleitor, Kynaitha, Psophis, Pheneos and Thelpusa.

gollark: Even if that's true it is *much* harder to get good enough at assembly to work on it easily than it is to get good at python or whatever.
gollark: The assembly version is more complicated and harder to write/understand/maintain.
gollark: What, that if you meddle with a comparison and use a weird/flawed metric your thing looks better? Yes.
