Takavina (TK)

Takavina is a country located in southern Bubbiasia. It was originally a Snowbic state that became independent after a civil war. It shares borders with Snowbul, Trap Nation, and Campasia. The nation was founded by simpleflareon.
== Provinces and Territories. ==
Takavina currently has 6 provinces, 4 territories, and 2 colonies. The provinces are Blizzari, Polara, Aspenia, Snowden, Kelowna, and Yulemint. The territories are Finnyboy Island, Keenora, Morgan Island, and The Tetra Islands, and the colonies are Andeo and Milo.
== Culture ==
Takavian culture is quite similar to Snowbul's, mainly because of it's history. Snowy weather has been very integrated into the lives of Takavians and is present in their culture. They also have a fascination with the night sky, space, and stars, which can be seen in the names Starland and North Star.
== History ==
Before Takavina was founded, it was a fishing port in southern Snowbul named Yulemint. The state of Yulemint refused to share its bounty with the rest of the nation, and went as far as attacking the state of Luchan (Luchandaas at that point in time). A planned attack on the village of Northstar in Luchandaas called the Snowbellian military to go to Yulemint and suppress their power. Yulemint went as far to threaten to set fire to Snowbul City if they had to share the bounty that they thought was rightfully theirs. A negotiation was set to where Yulemint could gain independece, as that was best for both nations. Once Yulemint became independent, it got renamed to Tatkavina, and got a new flag. The flag was blue with a yellow cross, and a yellow diamond in the center. The biggest town, Nuvua, was made the capital.
However, the name Tatkavina did not roll off the tongue very well and did not sound that pleasant. To compromise, they renamed the nation to Takavina, based off the Snowbic word "takav". They also decided to update the flag. The blue was changed to purple, making it the first flag in Schlung with purple as one of the main colors.
After a while, Takavina knew they needed to expand, their exclave was not enough. Takavina managed to get a big chunk of land to the east of the mainland. Takavina finally had access to two major oceans. This new land would be appropirately named the New Mainland. Takavina once again updated their flag, to the one currently in use nowadays. They also changed their capital to the city of Starland in the northwest of the new mainland. This city would grow to be one of the largest in Schlung. Many other big cities would form, like Valeria, Tioto, and North Star.
When the continent of Quinquennia was discovered, Takavina decided to claim an island territory and their first colony. They had claimed Finnyboy Island, and a colony in the south called Andeo. This colony would be home to a tribe called Andeo. The Andeone people have their own language, culture, and beliefs that have intertwined with the Takavian culture there, making Andeo one of the most unique places in Takavina. This colony would later join the Snowbic colony Lunsta, and form a new nation called Lundeo.
Takavina had noticed the sheer amount of unclaimed land left in Quinquennia, and decided to take full advantage. They took a massive piece of land, bigger than the mainland itself and called it ϻjøma. ϻjøma would serve incredibly useful in the Clan Wars, using the military there to help take over Elmotopia's land. This helped ϻjøma grow immensely and allowed Takavina to gain some land in the newly discovered continent Eeden. Ever since the Clan Wars, Takavina has became one of the most powerful nations on the planet.
== Languages ==
Takavina is officially a bilingual country, with English and Snowbic being it's two official languages. Takavina also has other unofficial and minority languages that are spoken throughout the mainland and it's colonies.
=== English ===
English is one of the two official languages of Takavina. It is the official language of Blizzari and Polara, which also has the highest population of English speakers in the country. Takavian English is a very unique dialect of English, with a snowbic influenced vocabulary. Many English speakers have called Takavian English a way heavier version of Canadian English, with the way they pronounce their vowels.
Takavian English: It's getting too cold to stay outwild, especially without a jacket. You should come inside and have some hot chocks with us!
American English: It's getting too cold to stay outside, especially without a jacket. You should come inside and have some hot chocolate with us!
=== Snowbic ===
Snowbic is the most commonly spoken language in Takavina, and the other official language of the country. It is the official language of every state and territory, except for Blizzari and Polara. Takavian Snowbic is one of the most unique dialects of the Snowbic language, with many distinct features and vocabulary. The Takavian accent is considered much deeper than Snowbic, and vowels are usually pronounced longer and rounder.
Much like Jynphian and Upper Serbloxian Snowbic, Takavian Snowbic does not feature the letter Ɔ. Instead, the digraph 'io' is used. Words like 'avↄ' become 'avio', and the city of Moɔ́q is spelt as Moíoq. Another feature which is very uniquely Takavian, is the digraph 'tj'. This digraph is pronounced with a 'ch' sound, unlike other dialects where it's pronounced 'tyuh'. And just like other dialects, Takavian Snowbic features it's own distinct vocabulary and slang terms.
=== Dutch ===
The southern parts of Kelowna have a large population of Dutch speakers, mainly because of Takavina's border Campasia. Takavian Dutch is not very different from Campasian Dutch.
=== Andeone ===
Andeone can be found spoken in some parts of the ϻjøma colony in Quinquennia.
=== Qi'sqate ===
Åstjurnrem is home to an indigenous language called Qi'sqate. 
== Geography ==
Takavina has a very diverse range of biomes and regions, featuring mountains, taigas, tundras, praires, and mediterranean. The northern parts of the country have a more moderate climate, but can still get very cold during the winters. The central part, however, can get extremely cold, much like the southern parts of Snowbul & Yulemint. The southern parts are quite warm, however, because of the underwater volcanoes near Campasia. Finnyboy island is a very warm, tropical island unlike the rest of the country. Andeo has a more moderate and europe-like climate.
