Ianiǧžer

## Etymology

### Founding of the Confederation

Ianigzer started out as a city on the estuary of Lidigąndǧanirže. Gagisimīāgun grew to a wealthy trading city and it's influence latched an integrated alliance with the city of Sanąsže. The cities of Xādāsanąs and Icibisdas objected to our union and formed a coalition to dissolve our influence. After minor skirmishes were fronted against the Ianiǧžer successor state, forces were coalesced to capture and detain offending raiding parties and then to disband their government.

With their women detained, our militia marched towards their cities, only to find the Xādāsanąs government already detained and a more friendly government already in power, the Icibisdas dictator was deposed and a government was established that was very similar to our own. Eventually further trade and our influence as the largest city of the 3 polities has made a confederation agreed upon between us more and more possible. After a very large Earthquake ravaged to cities to the west, the support for the confederation grew exponentially and as aid was sent to the people the final treaty, the treaty of Igąndǧanin was agreed upon, and the Confederation was born.

## Geography / Environment

### General Geography

Ianiǧžer's capital, Gágísímiagon, sprouted up in the Ronígá`ánmín area at the estuary of the Rídígāndǧánírže River. being located in the most temperate area in the continent of Hyperborea, Míláqže. Along with the tectonic activity sparking volcanic eruptions to the east and west, the soils are the most fertile on the continent. The main cities in the region are along the main river, where communication and farming have been most successful.

In the eastern coast, which is separated by the Bisdāmílígáq Mountains , it is much more hilly and wet. many strong, cold river systems flow from there towards the ocean. The cities in the region are cities with the highest availability to transport towards the capital region, along rivers, coasts and on the main road through the mountains.

On the northern Island of Míláqa Newís, settlements of Nulso are merged with Auelander tribes. As a result, even though the climate is warmer, the amount of population is smaller in this region compared to the rest. The population centres of this region are trade reliant with the capital and the large states to the south, situated on the coast and major, navigable rivers.

Up in the far north, the seas are more hostile. The climate is cold, snow is the norm, warm winds blocked by the mountains to the south mean that the best food is from migratory herding. The cities are situated to make transport between the mainland and the governments installed in the red lakes region as easy and safe as possible.

## Government / Politics

Ianiǧžer is a Republican Confederation. Decisions are made hierarchically and votes are made based on city hubs voting individually. However voting is restricted to influential people of ňūlsu ancestry. This is done by an arbitrary system of prestige points, to avoid the "depraved" and unkempt from deciding the fate of the city as well as a fee for voting. "For those who care about the direction of the city and country, they must cement it by their contribution to it's movement" is a common sentiment among most voters.
