Borogovia

Borogovia is a country in central Parania, though, in some cases, it is placed in western Parania. It is a very small landlocked country bordered by Cagneux and Hargenland to its north, Munnach to its south and east and Hoieland to its west. The capital of Borogovia is Linthager located in the country's north, it is a border city and shares a border to Hargenland.

## History

Originally, Borogovia, alongside New Acheson, Edeloria, and Hargenland were once all apart of Munnach, though portions were part of Apelchem. Borogovia, Edeloria, and New Acheson were all provinces of Munnach with Hargenland being apart of the largest province being Ursprungora, these countries gave Munnach access to the ocean and closer transport to countries such as Parlinn, Elsenord, Vindborg, and the Isle of Chark. Inland, it gave Munnach closer access to countries like Apelchem and the northern portion of Silegre. Because of this, more illegal immigration from Munnach was stronger towards Parlinnian and Silegrean cities and vice-versa and conflict struck between the three countries, resulting in the Munnach Immigration War, a month-long war that was targeted towards the immigrants between the three countries. The aftermath of the war left dead bodies of the illegal immigrants and those who fought for their countries to cloud the streets and countrysides of the countries and most of the bodies were situated in what is now Hargenland, New Acheson, Edeloria and Borogovia. This caused the population of Munnach to plummet down nearly 1-2 millions and the countries of Silegre, Parlinn and Munnach were fled from with most of the population escaping to Lobelia, Nalvano, or the countries north of Parlinn. On January 1st, 1961 the countries of Hargenland, Borogovia, New Acheson and Edeloria were founded and became independent from Munnach, this turned Munnach into a landlocked country as the coast of Munnach became Hargenland and New Acheson and portions of the northwest inland became Borogovia and Edeloria. The countries became ultimately safer and attracted many from around the world, espeecially those of Jabala and Peisybaku with a mere 10% of the region being a native from Jabala or Peisybaku, however little decided to move to Borogovia itself.

## Geography

The land is almost entirely deciduous temperate forest, with trees such as beeches, maples, and oaks being the most dominant tree species in the forest. Little portions of meadows are present in the country, especially if you lean more east, and plants such as common daisies, greater celandines, wood anemones, and dandelions become increasingly more common. The country is humid and wet with extremely cold and wet winters and humid and warm summers with regular rainfall. A large range of native and introduced species are present and common animals such as badgers (*Meles meles*), chipmunks (*Tamias striatus*), bullfrogs (*Lithobates catesbeianus*), bluebirds (*Sialis sialis*), cottontails (*Sylvilagus floridanus*), great horned owls (*Bubo virginianus*), white-footed mice (*Peromyscus leucopus*), box turtles (*Terrapene carolina*), striped skunks (*Mephitis mephitis*), edible crabs (*Cancer pagurus*), northern raccoons (*Procyon lotor*), ring-necked pheasants (*Phasianus colchicus*), great blue herons (*Ardea herodias*), coneys (*Oryctolagus cuniculus*), white-tailed deer (*Odocoileus virginianus*), common hedgehogs (*Erinaceus europaeus*), wild boars (*Sus scrofa*), least weasels (*Mustela nivalis*), red squirrels (*Sciurus vulgaris*), mallards (*Anas platyrhynchos*), red foxes (*Vulpes vulpes*), common cuckoos (*Cuculus canorus*), house sparrows (*Passer domesticus*), rock doves (*Columba livia*), brown rats (*Rattus norvegicus*), cockroaches (*Blattella germanica*), houseflies (*Musca domestica*), dwarf gouramis (*Trichogaster lalius*), bala sharks (*Balantiocheilos melanopterus*), dwarf pencilfishes (*Nannostomus marginatus*), tigerfishes (*Hydrocynus brevis*), elephant fishes (*Gnathonemus petersii*), common rudds (*Scardinius erythrophthalmus*), cichlids (*Altolamprologus calvus*) and tiger barbs (*Puntigrus tetrazona*), more elusive species that have been documented in the country include culpeos (*Lycalopex culpaeus*), eastern black deer (*Motema niagara*), raccoon dogs (*Nyctereutes procyonoides*) and multiple more. A total of 64 native mammalian species have been documented in the country, with 130 mammals included altogether if counting non-natives, meaning that more than half of the mammals in the country are not indigenous, animals such as northern raccoons, striped skunks and white-tailed deer have been introduced in small populations in the country for hunting and pelt use but have spread throughout the country and are common forest dwellers.
