== Etmology ==
The word 'Zemeorilia' was first spun by prehistorical tribal figures in ~12500 BC for unknown reasons. Following the 1789 Whatei Revolution, the term 'Zemeorilia' was readapted after revolutionaries discovered an old stone that said, "The land of Zemeorilia belongs to our tribe of Whatein complexity." However, some people who are apologists for the old Whatei governments claim the stone was faked. However, the term 'Kingdom of Zemeorilia' was adapted by one of the ancient Zemeorilian governments based on the same stone found, making the term more legitimate.
