Archive:Kogongu: Difference between revisions

'''Kogongu''' is a nation located on the southernmost continent, Koganon, bordering Bal-Duran. It was founded shortly after the founding of its capital city, [[Kais Kogong]]. The nation is a hub for artists, scholars, and spiritual practices. They are content to remain in their own land, and tend to avoid wars on other continents.

The nation consists of the towns of [[Kais Kogong]], Anchridge, Spadecrown, and Ginion. It operates as a non-hierarchical, politically anarchistic federation.

"Kogan" means world, or more literally, plant and sea. During early encounters with an expanding [[Acquendavia]], when asked who they were, the indigenous population replied with "Kogangi", or 'The people who live here'. This was interpreted by Acquendavians as being the name of their people, and rewritten as "[[The Kogongi People|Kogongi]]"

"Kogongu" is then an Aquendavian word meaning, Land of the Kogongi. Most Kogongi, however, refer to their country and continent as "Koganon". This word, literally translated means "The land where we live", although to the native Kogongi, it takes on a deeper meaning. It is considered offensive for outsiders to use this term.

Kogongu is the Native homeland of the Kogongi people. They were hunter -gatherers who occupied the North end of the continent. Following first contact with Aquendavia[[Acquendavia]], they slowly became a somewhat agricultural society.

Many Kogongi were captured by [[Lothridge]] armies and journeyed east, where they were forced to study at the towers of philosophy in order to assimilate to Aquendavian ideas. Instead, the religion of Naism, made up of old Kogongi legends and philosophies mixed with the experiences of those who studied at the towers, was formed.

At its founding, it was inhabited by Native Kogongi, including Vasya and Game_Glider_SKG[[Game Glider SKG]]. Shortly after, [[Hargreevs]] immigrated to the growing town.

A new town, [[Wahat Almarjan]] was founded by [[IAmTheSenate13]] on the 12th of April, 2021. After falling into disrepair for two months, it was restablished on the 29th of June, 2021.
