## History

### Early History

Human activity in Nga Wi dates as far back as the late Ice Age. Evidence of human activities is backed up mostly by the presence of many phallic-shaped objects and cave paintings that dates back to around 10.000 BCE.

Although evidence of human settlement was found throughout the country, there is absolutely no fossilized remains of early-men found in the sites. Scientist speculate that the prehistoric Nga Wi peoples went on a genesis to other parts of the world, or just simply disappeared mysteriously. These elusive prehistoric men were referred as the

Ngo Chok (Nga Ren Chinese: "precursors") by the locals.

### Modern Human Settlement

Modern humans started settling in Nga Wi in 120 C.E with the Austronesian expansion throughout the Pacific. At some point during the height of the neighboring Kalingga Kingdom, the local Austronesian-speaking Nga Wi peoples were subjugated and assimilated into the Javanese culture, their culture and language survive only as Ngawi Javanese.

The Austronesian Nga Wi peoples, often referred to as Shian Jing, although losing their language and most of their cultures, thrived under heavy Javanese influence. As the intellectual class among the Javanese people, the Shian Jing estabilished institutions that would later be the foundation of Nga Wi's learning cultures.

### Chinese Arrival

The Chinese already had a strong presence in both economic and cultural aspects of the Shian Jing. This is due to extensive Chinese trade network along the Pacific and the similarities of the climate. Because of the local's acceptance, the Chinese influenced Shian Jing institutions and politics and eventually become the higher-class of the Shian Jing society. Sometime after the fall of the Mataram Kingdom, the Chinese higher-class proclaimed their independence as the Kingdom of Nga Wi, the first evidence of this name being used.

In the aftermath of the Jin-Song wars, some of the defeated Jurchens fled to Java. Being originally nomadic, the Jurchens had a hard time adjusting to the lifestyle of the Javanese. Most of the Jurchens eventually settled in the then-small Nga Wi Kingdom due to their shared cultural origins.

During the war, a Han warlord named Fang Lian betrayed the Song and conspired with the Jurchens. Fang Lian ultimately fled to Java alongside the Jurchens sometime after the war ended, and proclaimed Emperor by the settling Jurchens. Fang Lian estabilished the Fang dynasty and overthrew the Nga Wi King on the bloody war of Jian Chok, named after the castle in which the King was executed.

### Arrival of Islam

The Arabs traded extensively throughout Southeast Asia and Nga Wi was no exception. Due to the lack of funds, the Fang traded quite liberally with the Arabs and even appointed some into the Fang court. Due to this, most of the local Shian Jing converted to Islam while most of the original Chinese settlers and the Fang stayed to their old faith. The Fang in particular, established an almost cult-like, court-only religion, called the Zho Mok (lit. "way of the serenity").

### Colonialism

In 1773, James Cook stayed in Nga Wi for 2 years and was fascinated with the potential Nga Wi has for the British. Then, in 1780 the British invaded Nga Wi in the war of the Kown Thol and emerged victorious. The ruling Fang dynasty was then put under British control, under the British protectorate of Nawey.

For 134 years, the ruling Fang dynasty stayed comfortably under British control, giving no resistance and even converted the local Chinese population to Christianity. This, coupled with the ever-going British exploitation on the local population, gave rise to the I Reng revolution, led by the intellectual Nga Wi-Arab leader Fatih ibn Hisyam and Fang third prince Shin Fa-El. The revolution went on for 10 years. And in 1925, Shin Fa El reestabilished the dynasty under a new name, and married Fatih ibn Hisyam's sister to form the modern Nga Wi dynasty.

### WW2 and the Cold War

Nga Wi initially pledged allegiance to the Republic of China during the second World War. During the war, Nga Wi was frequently bombed by the Japanese and eventually fell to Japanese forces in 1942. Nga Wi was under Japanese control throughout the war, but was then liberated after the Japanese surrender to the United States in August 1945.

During the Chinese Civil War, the then-Emperor Zhong Fa-El expressed his support to the Republic of China, frequently sending Nga Wi-made rations to the Kuomintang forces. Chiang Kai-Sek was a good friend of the Emperor and was frequently sent personal gifts. Because of this, relationship between Nga Wi and Mainland China went sour after the Communist takeover of Mainland China. Despite that, Nga Wi maintained good relations with the west.

Sometime during the 1950's, NATO build a military base in the northern Nga Wi island of Ah Xu to counter the ever-growing Chinese and Soviet presence in the Pacific. In 1959, the Ah Xu crisis happened, in which due to a storm, a Soviet vessel malfunctioned, crossed the maritime border, and beached in the island of Ah Xu. While the NATO personnel handled the accident peacefully, the Soviets accused the Americans of sabotaging their vessel. The Soviet almost declared war until Emperor Zhong Fa-El wrote a personal telegram to both Khrushchev and Eisenhower to meet in the Island of Ah Xu. As a sign of respect, both parties flew to Ah Xu and surveyed the accident in-location. Both parties then agreed to rule the accident out as a force of nature, and the crisis was alleviated.

### Present Day

During the 1980s, Prime Minister Ei Ga was elected, and opened up trade with both the West and the Chinese. This ushered in a huge economic bubble that brought Nga Wi from a middle-class economy to a leading economic power in Asia. Nga Wi's GDP surpassed both Korea and Japan in 1995, until the Asian Financial Crisis brought the growth into a stagnant. Since then, Nga Wi stayed the leading economy of Asia until the economic rise of China.

In 2019, Emperor Ra Fa-El ascended the throne and reinstated a new law to further unify the Shian Jing (Javanese and Sundanese) and the Nga Wi population.

## Geography

Located in the middle of Celebes Sea, south of the Basilan Island of The Philippines, the north of Gorontalo Province on Sulawesi Island of Indonesia, and the east of Kalimantan Island of Indonesia. The location of the Nga Wi island is above the equator, not a lot of biodiversities are spread in the island of Nga Wi. The country holds an area of 32,807.9 square kilometres (12,667.2 sq mi). The island's unique equatorial location, precisely 4.5 degrees north of the equator, imparts distinct climatic characteristics and influences its biodiversity. As a result, Nga Wi Island is home to a specific range of flora and fauna, with limited biodiversity spread across its terrain. The equatorial position ensures warm temperatures and consistent humidity year-round, contributing to its unique microclimates. Moreover, the Empire's sovereignty extends into the surrounding waters, encompassing an extensive water area of 86,739.55 square kilometers (33,490.33 square miles). These waters are rich in marine life, and the island's location in the Celebes Sea lends itself to aquatic biodiversity and potentially unexplored underwater treasures.

Nga Wi Island, with its intriguing position at the crossroads of the Philippines and Indonesia, remains a captivating destination for scientists, explorers, and nature enthusiasts, offering a mosaic of cultures, ecosystems, and geological wonders to uncover.
