Disejo

**Disejo** (*CC: DE*) (*pronounced dees-EY-oh*) is a country within CSMP: New Horizons. It was the first country in Season 5 to not recognize English as its primary language. Disejo is made up of several towns and villages (some close and some far) which share Esperantist values with each other.

### History

#### Founding of Ejo

The land that Disejo lies over today was discovered by Kjancku on their search of creating their Season 5 home. After discussion with their ally and friend Sofia, lengthy talk about creating an Esperantist-led country was in the works. On the second week of the season, Kjancku began constructing what was planned to be the main village of Ejo. Plans included a large walkable boulevard leading from town hall to the waterfront, and was built in snowy plains and taiga. Soon though, this plan was scrapped when Kjancku discovered there was an issue involving pillager patrols from a nearby outpost. They would kill around 5 patrols each day. This was not good, as plans for the country were to be a functional village. Within days, plans for the rest of Ejo were scrapped and settlement moved northward to where Ĥestadanĉo lies today. Old ruins from the construction of central Ejo are still standing today.

#### Early Settlement and Incorporation

After the site of Ejo was abandoned, construction began on the Ĥestadanĉo Trade Hall, a central waterfront tower that would serve as the main market for Ĥestadanĉo. After completion of said trading hall, construction on Sofia's Disejo Bakejo began to take place; at the same time, construction of the Ĥestadanĉo Town Walls took place, built by Sofia and Kjancku. Upon completion of the walls, Disejo became officially incorporated as a nation within New Horizons.

### Etymology

The name Disejo comes from the Esperanto suffixes *dis* and *ejo*; *t*he latter of which meaning "place" or "centre." The prefix *dis* means to be spread out over land, usually in all directions.

### Towns and Villages

#### Ĥestadanĉo

*Main article: Ĥestadanĉo*

Ĥestadanĉo (pronounced hest-AH-dan-cho) was the first village to be built within Disejo, being the largest within Disejo today. It is the successor of the old capital village, which has been unnamed, but was likely to be called *Ejo (meaning "place")* giving the country's name "Disejo." Ĥestadanĉo has many buildings within it: including a bakery, village hall, info centre, central square, and many homes. The name "Ĥestadanĉo" has no specific origins whatsoever, and was formally called "Ĥestadanĉ" before an "O" was added to create noun consistency when using the village name. Ĥestadanĉo is serviced by the Ĥestadanĉo Train Station, located just north of Valaĥia Square.

Ĥestadanĉo is extremely dense compared to other settlements and towns within the server. Buildings are near-touching with small alleyways separating them. Large plazas and gathering places are present within the town to balance this issue out. Most buildings are 1 1/2-2 storeys tall (some which are internally separated), and never exceed more than half the height of the Ĥestadanĉo Trading Hall, which is the tallest building within the town situated near the southern wall entrance.

#### Eĥoŝanĝo

*Main article: Eĥoŝanĝo*

Eĥoŝanĝo (pronounced eh-HO-shan-jo) is an outpost north of the village of Ĥestadanĉo. It borders the plains snowy tundra, and it is a mining settlement with no fixed population. The name Eĥoŝanĝo comes from the Esperanto words *eĥo* (meaning "echo") and *ŝanĝo* (meaning "change"). It is thought that this name was given due to the posts' proximity to multiple wind-prone areas which were subject to frequent change.

#### Somero

*Main article: Somero*

Somero (pronounced som-ER-oh) is a village that was built in August 2023. It is to the southwest of Ĥestadanĉo, and is connected to it via the Disejo Underground.

### Incidents Involving Foxes

Disejo has had multiple attacks on its land via foxes. Dragonheart735 was one of the first to use the fox spawn egg duplication exploit to spawn large amounts of foxes inside of the town walls of Ĥestadanĉo. Disejo had already outlawed fox spawning inside their walls at that point. Later, Disejo was once again attacked by Greg using the same fox spawn egg dupe. He spawned foxes outside the walls to not break the Disejo law at that time. ZCshot also spawned several foxes within the lighthouse, but, luckily for him, no one knew (shhhh).
