Pakis

The Pakis are an endangered Thinling nation who migrated to the Thinlands as one of the Twelve Nations. The Paki language is nearly extinct, if not already, and many Pakis have come to speak bastardized forms of other Thinling languages from the regions in which they parasitically inhabit. The original Paki language may exist as a secret language among Pakis and is only known from a short lexicon recorded for Londrian social service officials, a copy of which can be found at the library at Bembridge Academy.
They are thought to have originated somewhere beyond Scoliotia in a land bordering the Hills of Jaundice on the Bloatlands. During the initial Bloatfall, they fled from the East and arrived in the Westhold, where they were granted asylum by the Thinling nations fighting off the bloatwaves.
They quickly grew to irritate the other Thinling nations due to their unwillingness to join in the fight as well as their incessant thievery, but they were nonetheless transported to the Thinlands during the Exodus, as the Order of Pandermon did not wish to keep them.
The Pakis refused to settle an ethnopolis, instead living an itinerant lifestyle in caravans between the ethnopolises and lands of other Thinling nations. During the Warring States period, many nations, fed up with them, began exterminating the Paki populations within their territories. Many Pakis sought refuge in Londonton at the invitation of the left-wing mayor of that city, and the city was even renamed Londonistan to make them feel more welcome. However, due to their pervasive habit of shitting in public, the streets of Londonistan became a festering breeding pool for a supervirus which caused a zombie outbreak in the city, leading to its destruction.
Today few Pakis remain. They keep to themselves and pitch their caravans in remote wooded regions. Many have joined the Segregate and sustain themselves through banditry. There are Paki caravans in isolated parts of the Dry Oak Forest in Tenuvium as well as Sherman Pines in Hayonski Sarovat.
=== Behind the Scenes ===
The Pakis, while based on Indo-Aryan cultures as a whole, are not based on Pakistanis as their ethnonym would imply, but are in fact mostly based on real-world Romani peoples, who originated in India. The Pakis in Tenuvium speak a language that is represented via Romanian, and the Pakis in Hayonski Sarovat also speak a language that is represented via Romanian, but written in the Cyrillic orthography traditionally used in Moldova and that continues to be used in Transnistria (this is because these Paki clans in particular both resides in Tenuvium and speak bastardized forms of Tenuvium, i.e. Latin).
Their ethnonym takes inspiration from the British slur for people from the Indian subcontinent.
