Nation description: The Constitutional Union of Yaettengkkok (Yaettengma: 얘뗑꼭겐마꼭/永天國憲盟國; Y'aetteng'kkok Gēnmakkok) is a constitutional monarchy in Bangju. It is bordered by Basanreseri and Kishu to the south and the East Sea to the west. Located in south-central Bangju, Yaettengkkok covers an area of 490,976 square kilometers, in addition to the Ssi’tchim islands (씨°짐/西島) to the west of the mainland. Uib’pakkyo is the nation’s capital and most populated city; Tteng’tochi, Nakk’kyo, Haehwachi, and Ttehsojo are some of Yaettengkkok’s other major cities.

Yaettengkkok has been inhabited since the Upper paleolithic, many nomadic tribes migrated to Yaettengkkok from the Jeongmian peninsula as well as Resan island and the Fusenes archipelago. The earliest records of Yaettengkkokese history consists of brief records and paintings from around 20 BCE. In 207 CE the Kō’Yé dynasty began around the Sōkedong river, Kō’Yé stood as a sovereign kingdom until 310 when political instability and corruption in the government caused its collapse. Following Kō’Yé’s collapse the kingdom’s former territory split into small warlord states, thus beginning the Rival States period (˫꺼°슨꼭키/仇敵國期/Ăkkŏ Z’ŭnkkok’ki).

Following the collapse of Cheonje the Choss’ki state conquered several neighboring warlord states, thus gaining political influence over the other warlord states. In 989 Choss’ki annexed all but two of the neighboring warlord state, thus beginning the One Kingdom, Three States period (히꼭˫흐°쑤키˫/一國二州期和/Hīkkok-ă’hŭkkok’ki’ă). The two states managed to maintain autonomy under the rule of the Tteh’Yan kingdom, though would later be fully annexed into Tteh’Yan consequently after a Tteh’Yan victory in the Ttengpp’ng War. In 1492 Tteh’Yan collapsed due to corruption in the government and was swiftly replaced by the Later Ye kingdom.

From the 16th-17th century Ye was a dictatorial state, it was during this time that Yaettengkkok expanded its territory east. In 1680 Ye fell consequently from the death of the emperor and no eligible heir to take his place. In 1705 the country was unified by a new central government, the government moved the capital from Nakk’kyo to Uib’pakkyo. The Hwatteng Empire was proclaimed in Yuwol of 1797, three years later Hwatteng subjugated Ssi’tchim as a satellite state. In 1830 the emperor proclaimed the Yaettengkkok Colonial Empire (얘뗑꼭섞민지태꼭/永天國殖民帝國/Y'aetteng'kkok S’ŏkkminji T’aekkok). Hwatteng was renamed to Yaettengkkok due to the popular belief that the nation would last for all eternity per the Mandate of Heaven.

Yaettengkkok established a number of colonies on Yeongju’s northwest and western coast, Yaettengkkok had a number of fourteen colonies, all located in Yeongju. Yaettengkkok’s control over the colonies was initially quite firm, but slowly waned with the turn of the 20th century. After Eulhae Yaettengkkok’s Yeongjuan colonies banded together to revolt against Yaettengkkok and achieve independence. The 1953 referendum in Yaettengkkok pushed for a more democratic government. In 1960 Yaettengkkok adopted a constitution and installed a prime minister, thus making the monarchs nothing more than ceremonial figures. On Sibirwol 10, 1961 the Constitutional Union of Yaettengkkok was proclaimed, later in 1962 Yaettengkkok surrendered control of their colonies and granted them independence.

Yaettengkkok is a great economic power as well as a regional power and is a member of numerous international organizations, including the Sinju Union (since 1970).

Shortform name: Haumaka (Jeongmian name: 長承島 / 장승도, "totem island")
Real life culture influence: Easter Island (main), Chiloe Island, Chatham Islands (outlying)
Real life culture of former colonizer: Korean-Australian (Namju)
Population: 5,334,963
GDP (PPP) per capita: $14,833
GDP (nominal) per capita: $7,642
Military manpower (active/reserve): 30,000/30,000
Language(s): Rapa Nui (official), Chono (minority)
Nation description: The earliest inhabitants of the islands that now make up Haumaka were the Vaiteka, a Cheongjuan people who arrived in the archipelago perhaps ten thousand years ago. They lived a nomadic, canoe-based hunter-gatherer lifestyle (with the exception of cultivating potato gardens) mostly around the coasts, with the interior only sparsely populated. Between 800 and 1000 CE, a wave of Polynesian settlers arrived from the vicinity of Kealekekua. Though fewer in number, they were more technologically advanced than the Vaiteka, introducing agriculture and livestock. Over the next few centuries, the Polynesians’ population grew rapidly and they subjugated and assimilated the Vaiteka, who only survived as an independent culture on the smaller island of Kavaiti.

The Polynesians divided the island into a number of clan territories, which then coalesced into two larger confederations dividing the island. By 1200, the northern confederation had grown more powerful from its control of the lucrative trade with the other islands of the archipelago and obtained the vassalage of the southern confederation (as well as Kavai), establishing a unified kingdom. The royal period from 1200-1500 was a golden age for Haumaka, with a cultural flowering that saw the country’s most celebrated outputs, the erecting of the famous moai statues and the development of rongorongo script, and extensive trade and cultural exchange with the other islands. After 1500, the kingdom collapsed into civil war due to overpopulation and competition between clans over resources. (Around this time a group of refugees settled the far southern island of Rekohu and adopted a pacifist lifestyle.)

As a result, power devolved from the aristocratic class to the warrior class and a new religious movement emerged to supplant the old religion that had centered around the moai and ancestor worship: the tangata manu or birdman cult, under which resources would be distributed and ritual leadership (the position of “birdman”) assigned to the clan that won an annual ritual race. Over time, the priesthood that administered the birdman ceremony itself gained great power. By the 1700s the birdman system also began to fall apart due to renewed tensions between clans and social classes; this was exacerbated by trade with Sinju that introduced firearms, resulting in a devastating series of wars lasting into the 1800s during which most of the moai were toppled.

Amidst this internecine conflict, Jeongmian interests steadily formed alliances and protectorates with the various clans until the entire country was under its at least indirect control by the 1850s. Movements arose to restore the old kingship to reassert Haumakan sovereignty, which ended up just entrenching Jeongmi’s control further as it suppressed the ensuing rebellions. Haumaka remained under Jeongmian rule for another century, and within the Jeongmian colonial empire came under increasing influence from Namju. After Eulhae, the independence movement surged with Kumucachi and eventually Qichwa backing, resulting in independence in 1962.

After independence there was a great revival in Haumakan culture, with the restoration of the old monarchy and clan territories (albeit in modern form as federal provinces and a constitutional monarchy), restored use of rongorongo script, and most evocatively of all the re-erection of the ancient moai across the country (some say, done as much for the purpose of attracting tourism as for enhancing national pride). While a monarchy, it has tried to chart a middle course between its communist and capitalist neighbors, with sometimes precarious results.

Rekohu was not included within Haumaka at independence and remained a Namjuan colony until voting to join Haumaka in 1982. On the other hand, Kavai is home to a long-simmering separatist movement.

Shortform name: Dembiya (登比亞, 뎀비야)
Real life culture influence: Ethiopia
Real life culture of former colonizer: Wu Chinese (Hokan)
Population: 48,862,795
GDP (PPP) per capita: $11,788
GDP (nominal) per capita: $6,562
Military manpower (active/reserve): 350,000/350,000
Language(s): Amharic, other Ethiopic languages
Nation description: Dembiya has been inhabited for tens of thousands of years, being one of the main pathways anatomically modern humans used to spread from Miju to the rest of the world. Several prosperous trading kingdoms rose and fell along the coasts through the second and first millennia BCE, trading with and being influenced by the civilizations of Mennefer and Seogwan to their north, including Pwenet and Daamot.

Around 1000 BCE, early Jaatunist refugees from Mennefer fled to the south as the result of religious persecution, claiming to carry with them the true Maithunic prophetic lineage as well as a Menneferian royal lineage (claims central to Dembiyan nationhood to this day), and settled in the Dembiyan central highlands, where they intermingled with the local people, particularly those in the then-small kingdom of Azeba. Between 1000 BCE and 500 BCE, the Menneferians' proto-Jaatunist beliefs combined with local beliefs in the creator deity Waaq and evolved from henotheistic to fully monotheistic, giving rise to the new religion of Sabbatarianism. This process culminated with the compilation of the Orit, the central Sabbatarian holy text. During the same period, Azeba gradually united the highlands and then subjugated and conquered the coastal states, with the conquests having aspects of a religious mission, a process chronicled in the Sabbatarian scripture of the Mashafa Nagast.

By the start of the common era Azeba had grown into an empire and was enjoying a golden age. As one of the first major Sabbatarian empires, it played a key role in the religion’s further spread from Napsal to Miju and other regions through its extensive maritime trade, and Azebic is still in widespread use in much of the Sabbatarian world as a liturgical language to this day. By the fourth century Azeba had begun to decline, weakened from within by religious conflicts between Sabbatarian sects with the rise of the new Black Cap sect.

Around 500 CE, Dembiya was conquered by Mennefer and remained under Menneferian rule for the next couple centuries, a traumatic period during which Sabbatarianism was persecuted by the ruling Jaatunists and the Temple of Zeray, the holiest site in Sabbatarianism, was destroyed.

By the 700s the Menneferian Empire itself began to decline and Dembiya was able to rebel and break free, establishing the Dembiyan Empire under a new dynasty claiming descent from Qwara and by extension from ancient Shomera (though it was only an empire in name and would never again reach the heights of Azeba). The new empire would also firmly establish Blue Cap as the dominant Sabbatarian sect in Dembiya.

In the 18th century, as Sinjuan colonialism spread to Napsal, Dembiya became coveted by the colonial powers for its strategic position. After some jockeying for power, by the end of the century it had become a Hokanese protectorate; the emperor would continue to rule but it was a Hokanese colony in all but name. It regained its independence after the Hokanese revolution, and the monarchy fended off an attempt to impose a socialist government and resumed power.

During Eulhae, Dembiya’s strategic position relative to Mennefer and Nukigurun again became coveted by the Sinjuan powers. Dembiya attempted to remain neutral, but was occupied by the Allies and compelled to join their war effort. After the war, the victorious powers continued to interfere in Dembiyan politics, fueling popular resentment towards the monarchy as a Sinjuan puppet. While significantly beneficial to the economy, the monarchy’s ambitious modernization and secularization projects and resulting upheaval added further controversy.

In the 1970s, the empire was overthrown by a popular revolution that ended with the installation of an anti-Sinjuan Abrahamic theocratic republic. It survived an initial war attempting to depose it and continues to be a controversial state accused of supporting Abrahamic extremism throughout Yoju and Miju.

Shortform name: Etelkoz
Real life culture influence: Magyars, Central Asian peoples
Real life culture of former colonizer: Manchu (Nukigurun)
Population: 23,711,560
GDP (PPP) per capita: $19,335
GDP (nominal) per capita: $6,381
Military manpower (active/reserve): 100,000/100,000
Language(s): Magyar (majority), Ossetian, Cuman, Khazar (minorities)
Nation description:
In the Bronze Age, southwestern Etelkoz was home to the Hurrian-speaking Napsalic civilization of Naharin, alternatively a rival or ally to or vassal of the contemporary civilizations of Mennefer, Nesh, and Seogwan, which it influenced and was influenced by. For several centuries in the Late Bronze Age, Naharin was ruled by a series of ethnically Itihasic dynasties during their migration south to Tagol, but native rule was restored during the Iron Age. After the Iron Age, Naharin was subjugated by a number of foreign empires, first the steppe-based Saka and Tumpang tribal confederations and then the Takhuit dynasty of Mennefer from 400 to 800 CE. Under Menneferian rule, most of the Naharian population converted to Jaatunism. Following the end of Menneferian rule, Naharian civilization enjoyed one final resurgence from 800-1000 CE in the Naharian New Kingdom, but with the fall of Cheonje trade began to decline, and the weakened Naharin was conquered and decimated by the Heeradic Empire in 1000 CE.

As part of the larger migrations following the fall of the Heeradic Empire in 1100, the Biraic-speaking Hungarians left modern Nukigurun and conquered and settled in the former territory of Naharin. Many Naharians had already been displaced south into Mennefer in the Heeradic invasion, and following the Olok conquest most of the remainder either joined them or assimilated into the Ugor population, although the nomad-settler distinction would remain a permanent feature of Etelkian society. The new arrivals founded the Ugor Khanate and adopted Jaatunism as its state religion, and built the city of Szentély as its capital on the strategic site of the former Naharian city of Kummenni (with both names translating to "the shrine").

Due to its position along the Horse Road, the Ugor Khanate became wealthy and absorbed Napsalic, Tagolic, and Ergunic cultural influences. At its height in the 1300s, referred to as the Ugor Khaganate or Etelkian Empire, this state would expand beyond Etelkoz’s borders ruled a wide swath of central Yoju, spreading Jaatunism and fueling a resurgence in Horse Road trade with much of the route under one empire. In the 1500s, the khanate declined due to changing trade patterns, this time as trade between Sinju and the west shifted from the overland route to new maritime routes with improved Sinjuan naval technology. The declining empire of Etelkoz fought and lost several wars against the rising empire of Nukigurun until it was finally conquered in the 1600s.

The rump Etelkoz was initially a protectorate under Nuki suzerainty, allowing it to maintain some autonomy, but was directly annexed into Nukigurun with the advent of the First Republic. The new government aggressively promoted pan-Ergunic ideology in an attempt to assimilate Etelkoz with the rest of Nukigurun. In Eulhae, Etelkoz was on the frontlines of the campaign between Nukigurun and Mennefer and suffered significant military and civilian population loss, while a local resistance against Nukigurun also emerged and intensified towards the end of the war. Etelkoz regained independence as the Republic of Etelkoz with Nukigurun’s defeat in 1943.

In 1956, the Menneferian-backed Etelkian Revolution overthrew the Republic of Etelkoz and replaced it with a socialist one-party state, the People's Republic of Etelkoz. From the revolution in 1956 until the Menneferian reforms in 1987, Etelkoz was closely aligned with Mennefer in its foreign policy and often considered a Menneferian satellite state, as well as following in Menneferian-inspired domestic policies of a one-party state under the Etelkian People's Party, command economy, and revolutionary Jaatunism. From the 1960s to the 1980s the government pursued the contentious "settlement of the steppes", in which it constructed new towns and farms on the eastern steppes and populated them with nomads forced into a sedentary lifestyle and relocated western city-dwellers.

Following the 1987 reforms in Mennefer, the reformist Dobos Ramszesz was appointed as new head of the EPP. Dobos followed Mennefer in liberalizing the economy from a purely command economy to a mixed economy with market aspects; this combined with the discovery and exploitation of oil and natural gas reserves has fueled notable economic growth. However, Dobos has pivoted away from Mennefer in foreign policy and pursued a more nationalist and pan-Ergunic foreign policy, reaching out more to neighboring non-socialist states while remaining a member of the OSDMA. Dobos has also been accused of pursuing autocratic policies in centralizing his rule, human rights abuses against dissidents, and promulgating a cult of personality and pan-Ergunism-inspired pseudoscience and historical revisionism. In 1999, Dobos moved the capital from Szentély in the west to the elaborate newly-constructed city of Aranyvár ("golden city" or "golden castle") on the eastern steppes.
