CoG Region

The CoG Region was a sub-continent located in the northeast of Eldham on the continent of Valresh. By the end of Eldham, 13 nations had land inside the region. The region consisted of the area that The Confederation of Garxijos had a major role in, be it directly or influentially. The most notable nations in the region's history include The Ellysian Empire, The USSE, The Confederation of Garxijos, The Republic of Helsia, The Uraki Imperium, along with the more minor but influential nations of Korosechev and Aerius.
The region was notorious for being extremely politically divided and is often colloquially referred to as the Balkans of Eldham. Since the collapse of the CoG there were very few periods of peace, with a majority of nations only lasting for 3 months. It also became very easy pickings for large empires wishing to colonize; with several instances of nations originating outside the region taking over land and remaining for months, often causing friction with the region's native inhabitants.
There were not many languages native to the region that were spoken commonly. The most spoken language was Lo'Oi; specifically a dialect of it called Vasa Lo'Oi. Other dialects like Ko"oi were also spoken. This language was brought over by the CoG from the USSE during the Third Coalition-Ellysian War.
==Historically significant nations==
===Ellysian Empire ===
At the beginning of Eldham the Subcontinent was largely united under The Ellysian Empire until the First and Second Coalition-Ellysian War. In the coalition Ellysian wars, the Ellysian Empire was weakened and eventually destroyed leaving very little legacy or trace. Following the Coalition wars, zones of occupation were set up that would later spring into new nations thanks to the assistance of outside forces, including The Federal Republic of Cognia and Garxijos Yawos.
===United Socialist States of Eldham===
After the dissolution of the Ellysian Empire, the Anti-Radical Syndicate was founded and included the United Socialist States of Eldham whom saw the opportunity to install leftist allies in the virgin land left by Ellysia and ensure that the empire could not return. They helped to establish the five zones of occupation out of former Ellysian territory, and had jurisdiction over Zone 3 which they established Cognia and Garxijos Yawos out of. Despite relinquishing control, they continued to have a large shadow presence in the region and would continue to exert a high degree of soft power over future states and eventually reestablishing themselves towards the end of Eldham.
===Confederation of Garxijos===
The CoG was made following a merger with Garxijos and Cognia, and began to slowly expand. The whole region ended up united under the Confederation, giving it the name it has today. The region prospered under a democratic rule, starring major figures such as Buoyo and Robraph. Eventually, the country collapsed due to internal chaos leading up to a split and division into it's states. The legacy that the CoG left was immense and inescapable, and a tradition of "CoG Successor States" would arise consisting of nations that were ran from Garxeto and claimed direct descendance from the original CoG.
===Republic of Helsia===
Following the collapse of CoG, the historical nation of Helsia declared independence and instantaneously became a power house in the region, having nearly a 4th of the total population of the region. Their historical presence in the area allowed them to jump straight into the regions post-CoG scene, giving them the upper hand against most nations. They remained as a major player before being annexed by Sylvania, whom had ambitions outside of the region and largely ignored the area.
=== The Uraki Imperium===
Uraka was the undisputed champion of the region for a few months following the collapse of CoG. The region was nearly entirely united under their reign, and a majority of nations in the region opted into joining the Imperium. Following several civil unrest movements in the formerly independent regions and an internal decay, Uraka broke into several smaller pieces, leaving the region without a clear dominant nation and beginning the chain of successor states.
== Geography==
=== Natural Geography ===
Stretching from the Katolian Sea in the West all the way to the world's corner in the East, the region's climate is very diverse, starring desserts, savannahs, coral reefs, jungles, forests, grasslands, mesas, mountain ranges, tundras, swamps and even a large mushroom island.
==== The Mainland====
The majority of the mainlan in the north is contiguous going from Cognia to Korosechev, and consists of a large chunk of it's diversity, harboring a large tundra, and a lot of open plains and forests.
====The Helsian Peninsula====
Home to the historical Helsian people, the peninsula is home to mainly large grasslands, forests and swamps. Other features such as mountains and savannah do appear in small amounts.
====Korosechev Island ====
Home to the historical Koro people, the island is notable for having a comparatively large amount of diversity for it's size, housing savannah, swamp, grassland, forest, jungle and a mountain range with a dormant volcano.
====The West====
Beyond Korosechev island, there is a large amount of dessert, savannah and mesa with other minor regions and rivers spreading throughout. Also harbors the Katolian Sea, known for vast kelp deposits and rich resources.
==== The East====
Home to swamps, desserts and ice biomes; The Eastern section of the CoG region is notably hard to cultivate properly. This has not stopped some people though, and the region remains delightfully alive with eco system sprawl along side it's Human counterpart.
===Human Geography===
The CoG region is no stranger to population, being home to ancient Helsian settlers long before a majority of the newer nations. The mainland is very densely populated, housing a majority of the population in tight, modernized cities. Going outwards from the center of the region, more rural populations can be found, however these are not to be ruled out.
=====Garxeto=====
Meaning "People's Fort" in the Lo'Oi language, Garxeto was set up as a fort by the United Socialist States of Eldham shortly after the First Coalition-Ellysian War, and has been a historical cultural and economic center ever since.

Led by Buoyo, it is by far the most active and populous city in the region.

=====Miklagard=====
The medieval capital city of Helsia, Miklagard is a center of Helsian enlightenment and culture. With its large fortified walls, it is a bastion of security in the region.
=====Buchwych=====
The largest city in The Federal Republic of Cognia, Buchwych is something akin to a sister city of Garxeto in terms of architecture and origins, though over time the town has faded into obscurity and has been reclaimed by the desert.
