Lævzkrjanfo

==Brief Overview==
Lævzkrjanfo is a nation released by Yvros on promises between Supreme director Siśaska Ruvjem and founding donʲtæ æv (masculine head of state) ʂekim vjæsun for autonomy and land. The republic was founded in lævz krjan fo along with it's sister city menif jɵ kvjæs and surrounding villages. Lævzkrjanfo is bordered by Yvros to the North and west, and Saaq to the south and southwest. 
Lævzkrjanfo has 2 colonies. Lævzfrizirfo, which which has on it's borders; Tebru to the east, Strochiz to the south, Vienta and Mediena to the west. And Lævzlethennefo who is bordered by; Tengku to the North east and Nacafi to the Northwest 
The people of Lævzkrjanfo have been integrated into the Yvros Empire and as a result the people began speaking as the Kjedystx ruling class have. As a result the creole that has arisen is one that has borrowed the pronunciative tendencies from the Kjedystx language.

=== Wrote history ===
==== Founding and early diplomacy ====
Lævzkrjanfo was thought up by local traders in the provinces of the country it occupies. One of these such traders had a special relationship with the supreme director and on week 40 she granted the lands in turn for heavy cooperation and loyalty. 
During the early parts of the war for control of the northeastern river, Lævzkrjanfo sent a small contingent of men to support our former overlords as part of the liberty agreement and in return, gained some of szehyil's hinterlands in return. 
==== Early conflicts ====
Lævzkrjanfo understanding it's small borders and growing world conflict on the rise understood that it needed to militarise if it were to uphold the borders of itself and those it was in close partnership with
==== Conflict with Esmitan ====
===== First Esmitan War =====
Into the 41st term Donʲtʲæj æv ʂʲekʲim vjæsun employed an enthusiastic proclamation for the exclamations of Lojifr, citing heavy emphasis on the final one, we sent our artisans and bureaucrats across the border to our coastal neighbour of Esmitan, teaching them of the ways we have made economic and educational progress. This came as a shock to many of the bureaucracy and noble elite, who then went on a campaign of pillaging and discrimination against those we tried to help. This lead the Lævzkrjanfo government to demand the Esmitan nobles stop or intervention would be necessary. After weeks of no response Lævzkrjanfo decided it necessary to declare war to occupy the largest majority of Gvjerʲin people to protect them from the tyranny of the nobles. after decisive battles all the way along the river towards the coast Lævzkrjanfo successfully occupied and signed a peace treaty with Esmitan to keep what it has occupied. 
===== Second Esmitan War =====
During the 43rd term (refer back to the war dec)
==== Gvjerʲin Unification day ====
for the entire time the 2 nations coexisted, there was conflict on who would be the true leader of the Gvjerʲin people. The Nation of Laid dormant and the capital, Foʂlʲeg, lay quiet, the people were looking towards the growing Lævzkrjanfo state with jealousy and were threatening to revolt lest we not take over, the will of the people followed to us and as the monarchy grew more desperate to hold power and on the 42nd term, sparked border conflicts which lead to the short march to their capital, resistance was weak as the people in their ranks were sympathetic to our cause and despite many of our armies outnumbered 2 to 1, Lævzkrjanfo emerged victorious and thus the violent unification was reached and Gvjerʲin reunited once more.
==== The Southern Piracy War ====
During the Second Esmitan war, the peoples off the Atelum sea were threatening the passage of the eskvov (traders) from delivering essential goods from across the haven chain. After demands for apologies were met with cold ears Lævzkrjanfo formed a coalition with Nacafi, who wanted to invade for other reasons, the two countries sent their armies and fleets across to deal with the states of Lethenne and Ujoza. due to the size and distance of these nations as well as the non-existent infrastructure within them, Progress was only inhibited by the terrain rather than the poor, tactless forces within them.

Language Sheet (sheets) 
==== Background and Soundchanges ====
Due to the prominence of the Kjedystx language in local trade, the people of Lævzkrjanfo have developed a creolic split from traditional Gweriþ. Despite the Similarities in vowels and consonants, notable changes are noticed in the new lack of "w" in the Krjanʲ ɵ gverif. Other noteable changes are; the voicing of all nasals, low vowels shifted forwards, the disappearance of "h", the dental fricative (th) moving to the bilabial (f) and the palatalising front vowels.

==== Grammar ====
The Grammar order is Verb Subject object with a head final system of adjective/adverb to noun relationship. Unlike it's predecessor, Krjan jɵ Ofrʲif did not keep many of it's original grammatical features as it's speech was merged more to match more cases in Kjedystx.

=== Lloib Ofriþ ===
Language Sheet (doc)just so you know, I had nothing to do with making this language and I found it very difficult to understand what it was trying to doOfriþ had split ergativity where only names and pronouns are nom-acc while everything else erg-abs. In the intermediate state between PSoO and Ofriþ, the case was so that pronouns were always assumed to be the subject, and if otherwise, the subject was marked with something like an instrumental.
So for example if you had:
Gloss 	PSoO 	English
see 1S fish-ACC	/n̥aˈun mə oi̯m/	"i see the fish"
see 1S-ACC fish	/n̥aˈun mə oi̯mik/	"the fish sees me"
see 1S 	/n̥aˈun mə/ 	"i see"
Then the pronoun was assumed the subject, so the accusative in "fish" and 1S was dropped, and to make it clear in the second sentence that the fish was the subject, an instrumental was used
Gloss 	Ofriþ 	CollapseEnglish
see 1S fish 	/n̥aˈun mə oi̯m/	"i see the fish"
see 1S fish-INST	/n̥aˈun mə oi̯moɪ̯/	"the fish sees me"
(or rather, "i see by means of the fish")
see 1S 	/n̥aˈun mə/ 	"i see"
and then the INST was reinterpreted as an ergative case.
=== Esmitani ===
there wasn't even a wiki for Esmitan I have no idea what I'm supposed to say here
=== Letheni ===
There are no records about the old Letheni language as they did not have a writing system, what is known as a result is very little only that it did not follow any VSO rules before it was influenced by Krjan Ofrʲif
=== Ujozaba ===
Like Letheni, Ujoza also had no written language and within our realm their language has been influenced by the majority Letheni language to the west.
=== Phrysh ===
Phrysh domineered over the languages of Aot and Slythen, languages spoken by the different races of people in the old Shrivipahit. Once Lævzkrjanfo acquired it's part of the Frizir region, Aot and Slythen became little more than the accents of the people who spoke them. 
==Politics==
=== The System ===
I want to note that I do not personally think this is the best government I just think it's something that probably would have happened given tech and the surroundings that the country rose to power in.The internal politics were agreed to become a republic. This decision was based off a lot of squabbling amongst many of the local traders and landowners of the land. After minor interventions from the director herself. A republic was formed, the leader, head person, formed to represent the different classes interests it generated a faction system with 4 factions, ruling, peasants, traders and clergy. Later on it was reformed to have a 5th soldiers. 
Each faction members elects their own candidates. candidates are assigned regions in which they reside (most often, excluding the capital). Among these candidates is chosen their head of faction (vjiv f iʲæd), among these councils, they elect a head of state (aztʲæ æv). 
The factions are as listed

=== Eligibility for participation ===
Eligibility for participation is afforded to classes differently based on their faction and criteria are set so that they might not mix nor vote multiple times. 
==== Peseants/general ====
the peasants' class voting registry is the most broad and least exclusive faction and as a result has more people. It is also used as an entry point for everyone (except soldiers) into the system.
Requirements are as follows:
* Those who can read and write in the ways common in our country
* Those who are registered as a resident in the city they are voting in
* Those who are not registered in another faction (e.g. Soldiers)
* Those who are of mature age (varies among races, a newer reform)
==== Ruling/rich ====
the ruling or rich faction is one of the more exclusive factions and consequently has one of the least people.
Requirements are the same as the peasants faction but with the following caveats:
* Those who can prove they own multiple plots of land not reserved for religious buildings or reserves
* Those who have previously voted in an election before (even if it's the peasants faction)
* Those who have not been made known to the government as a criminal in countries trading with the bʲenta currency
* You are granted immediate membership if you have worked or are working in a position of power (e.g. member of the vjiv f iʲæd, opposition leader, aztʲæ æv) or are working as an administrator for the state (e.g. tax collector, record keeper)
==== Traders/merchants ====
The traders faction is one of the most changing faction and while it is larger (on average) than the rich faction it is constantly fluctuating.
Requirements are the same as the peasants faction but with the following caveats:
* Those who can prove they own a company recognisable by the government or are some sort of representative of one with minimum requirements being
** One that can prove they own more than 3 ships or other modes of transport (if a goods based company)
** One that can prove it can provide the services it claims to provide (if a services based company)
** One that has at least one permanent base of operations owned in part or in full
** One that has records of goods or services being sold more than 2 cycles ago
** One that has records of goods or services being sold less than 1 cycle ago
* Those who have not been made known to the government as a criminal in countries trading with the bʲenta currency
* Those who have previously voted in an election before (even if it's the peasants faction)
==== Priests/Clergy ====
The priest and clergy are those with religious significance in any religious sect within our borders, there would usually be a larger overlap with the rich faction if it weren't for the temple ownership clause however living standards and interests of these two factions are usually similar
Requirements are the same as the peasants faction but with the following caveats:
* Those who can prove they are religious leaders or staff to religious institutions (in which their role is one that is inherently religious)
* Those who have not been made known to the government as a criminal in countries trading with the bʲenta currency
* Those who have previously voted in an election before (even if it's the peasants faction)
==== Soldiers ====
The soldier class is a new class consisting of all people in our armed forces, either as a sailor, infantry or as a conscript in training. This role takes priority over all other roles and the heads of these factions are most times generals and admirals of high ranking. The faction is however separated from the Army and Navy itself 
Requirements are the same as the peasants faction but with the following caveats:
* Those who are part of a current division of the army or naval task force or are assigned to a future division or naval task force
* Those who have not been found guilty of crimes involving any state (e.g. fraud and insurrection. not including crimes like petty theft and murder)
