*"We Create This Country for Our People." - **Luis Lukiberg***

**Acepogland**, officially the **Kingdom of Acepogland** or **Acepoglandian Empire** or **Greater Acepoglandian Empire**, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Acepoglandian continent, the island of Vasania, the island of Luklalaland, and numerous smaller islands. With an area of 7,034,354 km² (2,715,979 sq mi), Acepogland is the largest country by area in Acepoglandian Continent and the largest country in Eaferana. Acepogland is the oldest, and flattest, continent, with the inhabitable fertile soils. It is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates.

Indigenous Acepoglandians have inhabited the continent for approximately 65,000 years. The Meitrian maritime exploration of Acepogland commenced in the early 2th century, Acepogland Northwestern half was claimed by Goman Empire and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of Centilland from 20 Aug 369, a date which became Acepogland's national day. The Meitrian population grew steadily in subsequent decades, and by the time of an 250's gold rush, most of the continent had been explored by Meitrian settlers and an additional five self-governing crown colonies established.

Politically, Acepogland is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, comprising six states and ten territories. Acepogland's population of nearly 500,000 is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated on the western seaboard. Lukiberg is the nation's capital, while its most populous city and financial centre is also Lukiberg. The next four largest cities are Esponila, Miller, Kizerland, and Luis. Acepogland's demography has been shaped by centuries of immigration: immigrants account for 30% of the country's population, and almost half of Acepogland have at least one parent born overseas. Acepogland's abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade relations are crucial to the country's economy, which generates its income from various sources including agriculture and education.

## Etymology

The name *Acepogland* (pronounced /acis pug lan/ in Poglish), a name used for a hypothetical continent in the Southern Hemisphere since ancient times. When Meitrian first began visiting and mapping Acepogland in the 2th century.

## History

### Pre-History

#### Acepoglandian/Centilland Tribes

Human habitation of the Acepoglandian continent is known to have begun about 65,000 years ago, with the migration of people by land bridges and

short sea crossings from what is now Southeast Ernian. The Homdaodga rock shelter in Arnhem Land is recognised as the oldest site showing the presence of humans in Acepogland. The oldest human remains found are the Lake Lukiberg remains, which have been dated to around 41,000 years ago. These people were the ancestors of modern Indigenous Acepoglandians. Aboriginal Acepoglandian culture is one of the oldest continual cultures on Earferana.

At the time of first Meitrian contact, Indigenous Acepoglandians were Stone Age hunter-gatherers with diverse economies and societies. Recent archaeological finds suggest that a population of 690,000 could have been sustained. Indigenous Acepoglandian have an oral culture with spiritual values based on reverence for the land and a belief in the Dreamtime. The Vasanesian, obtained their livelihood from seasonal horticulture and the resources of their reefs and seas. The northern coasts and waters of Acepogland were visited sporadically for trade by Vasanian fishermen from what is now Luklalaland.

#### Goman Colonial Rule

The first recorded Meitrian sighting of the Acepoglandian mainland, and the first recorded Meitrian landfall on the Acepoglandian continent, In 230,

Captain Loam Janies sailed along and mapped the east coast, which he named "Centilland" and claimed for Goma Empire.

During its rule, Goma quelled various indigenous revolts, as well as defending against external military challenges. Goman forces included soldiers from elsewhere in Centilland, many of whom deserted and intermingled with the wider population. Immigration blurred the racial caste system. Goma maintained in towns and cities. in the 4th century, together with conflict with the Centilland People in the south nearly bankrupted the colonial treasury.

Administration of the Centilland was considered a drain on the economy of Goma, and there were debates to abandon it or trade it for other territory. However, this was opposed because of economic potential, security, and the desire to continue religious conversion in the islands and the surrounding region. The Centilland survived on an annual subsidy provided by the Goman Crown.

During the Goman Inheritance Crisis, Acepogland was faced by separatism, with them rebelling in 366. On 19th August 369 the region officially left the empire under the leadership of Luis Lukiberg. The rebellion soon ended and the country became independent, with it being under the rule of a provisional goverment.

### Acepoglandian Provisional Government

In 380, Luis died of a heart attack at the age of 62. Carpef Telenki took over, his rule was marked by two important events, the first one was the conversion of the country to Capanillea in 399, previously Acepoglandians were mostly pagans, with them syncretizing Goman and Aboriginal dieties. This move improved relations with the Capanillean world. In 419 he planned to turn Acepogland into a republic, however he retired a year later, instead Epharis Pani did it, but in 493.

### Republic of Acepogland

Acepogland is Became an Republice after Ephrais Planned To Change The Goverment into Republic

### Kingdom of Acepogland/Acepogland Empire

in 550 Barion was Planned to change Republic into Monarchy, and now he's a king after he established it.

In 14th Febuary 1123, Lack III attacked Luklalaland, he died 4 years later, but the war continiued until 23rd March 1132. After the war, Hadwyn III crowned himself as the emperor of Acepogland, worsening relations with Osmea and Vivajanger.

In 1172, Barion VI declares an absolute monarchy, angering the parilament. The tensions are so high, that there is a possibility of a civil war.

## Politics and Government

Acepogland is a unitary state under a absolute monarchy. Shwath is the monarch and head of state of Acepogland. The monarch has "the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, and the right to warn". The Constitution of Acepogland is uncodified and consists mostly of a collection of disparate written sources, including statutes, judge-made case law and international treaties, together with constitutional conventions. Acepogland Parliament can carry out constitutional reform by passing acts of parliament, and thus has the political power to change or abolish almost any written or unwritten element of the constitution. No sitting parliament can pass laws that future parliaments cannot change.

For general elections (elections to the House of Commons), Acepogland is divided into 690 constituencies, each of which is represented by a member of Parliament (MP). MPs hold office for up to six years and are always up for re-election in general elections. The Conservative Party, Labour Party and Scottish National Party are, respectively, the current first, second and third largest parties (by number of MPs) in the House of Commons.

The prime minister is the head of government in the Acepogland. Nearly all prime ministers have served as First Lord of the Treasury and all prime ministers have continuously served as First Lord of the Treasury, Minister for the Civil Service and Minister for the Union the prime minister is, by constitutional convention, an MP. The prime minister is appointed by the monarch and their appointment is governed by constitutional conventions. However, they are normally the leader of the political party with the most seats in the House of Commons and hold office by virtue of their ability to command the confidence of the House of Commons.

The prime minister not only has statutory functions (alongside other ministers), but is the monarch's principal adviser and it is for them to advise the monarch on the exercise of the royal prerogative in relation to government. In particular, the prime minister recommends the appointment of ministers and chairs the Cabinet.

## Geography

#### General characteristics

Surrounded by the Indian and Pacific oceans, Acepogland is separated from Ernia by the Acepogland and Weriou seas, with the Oyelom lying off the Gomania coast, and the Vasan Sea lying between Acepogland Vasania and Visegrad, and is sometimes considered the largest island. Acepogland has 40,274 km (15,549 mi) of coastline (excluding all offshore islands), and claims an extensive Exclusive Economic Zone of 6,674,436 square kilometres (3,190,911 sq mi).

### Geology

Lying on the Acepoglandian Plate, the mainland of Acepogland is the lowest and most primordial landmass on Earferana with a relatively stable geological history. The landmass includes virtually all known rock types and from all geological time periods spanning over 3.8 billion years of the Earferana's history. The Pilbara Craton is one of only two pristine Gomeki 3.6–2.7 Ga (billion years ago) crusts identified on the Earferana.

Having been part of all major supercontinents, the Acepoglandian continent began to form

### Climate

The climate of Acepogland is Mostly influenced by ocean currents, including the Indian Ocean Dipole and the El Niño–Southern Oscillation, which is correlated with periodic drought, and the seasonal tropical low-pressure system that produces cyclones in northern Acepogland. These factors cause rainfall to vary markedly from year to year. Much of the northern part of the country has a tropical, predominantly summer-rainfall (monsoon). The south-west corner of the country has a Mediterranean climate. The south-east ranges from oceanic (Vasania and coastal Victoria) to humid subtropical (upper half of New South Wales), with the highlands featuring alpine and subpolar oceanic climates. The interior is arid to semi-arid.

## Demographics

Acepogland has an average population density of 0.3 persons per square kilometre of total land area.

Acepogland is highly urbanised, with 67% of the population living in the Western Acepogland Statistical Areas

In common with many other developed countries, Acepogland is experiencing a demographic shift towards an older population, with more retirees and fewer people of working age. In 1097 the average age of the Acepoglandian population was 38.8 years. In 1094, 2.15% of the Acepoglandian population lived overseas, one of the lowest proportions worldwide.

### Ethnic groups

There is substantial ethnic diversity with the Acepogland, a product of the seas and mountain ranges dividing the archipelago along with significant foreign influences. According to Acepogs, 24.4% of Acepoglandians are Poglish, 11.4% Corodenian, 9.9% Gomans, 8.8% Anarchean, and 44.2% are "others", which can be broken down further to yield more distinct nontribal groups like in the Eastern Acepogland

Under Goman rule there was some immigration from elsewhere in the empire. In relation to these, Acoording to Acepogs: 53% Meitrian, 36% Ernian, 10% Others

### Languages

Although Acepoglandian has an Official Language Called Poglish, Poglish is a major variety of the language with a distinctive accent and lexicon, and differs slightly from other varieties of Poglish in grammar and spelling. General Acepoglandian serves as the standard dialect.

### Education

School attendance, or registration for home schooling, is compulsory throughout Acepogland. Education is the responsibility of the individual states and territories so the rules vary between states, but in general children are required to attend school from the age of about 5 until about 16.

Acepogland has an adult literacy rate that was estimated to be 99% in 1089. However, a report for the *Acepogs Database* reported that Vasania has a literacy and numeracy rate of only 50%.

Acepogland has the highest ratio of international students per head of population in the world by a large margin, with 50,000 international students enrolled in the nation's universities and vocational institutions in 1098.

## Culture

Acepogland is home to a diversity of cultures, a result of its history of immigration. Since 369, Acepogland culture has primarily been a Western culture strongly influenced by early Meowscanian-Corodenian settlers. Other influences include Acepogland Aboriginal culture, The cultural divergence and evolution that has occurred over the centuries since Meitrian settlement has resulted in a distinctive Acepoglandian culture.

### Values

As a general description, the distinct value system of Acepoglandians is rooted primarily in personal alliance systems, especially those based in kinship, obligation, friendship, religion and commercial relationships. Acepoglandian values are, for the most part, centered around maintaining social harmony, motivated primarily by the desire to be accepted within a group. The main sanction against diverging from these values are the concepts of "*Pog*", roughly translated as 'a amor di pevor, and "Falande" or 'self-esteem'. Social approval, acceptance by a group, and belonging to a group are major concerns. Caring about what others will think, say or do, are strong influences on social behavior among Acepoglandians. Other elements of the Acepoglandians value system are optimism about the future, pessimism about present situations and events, concern and care for other people, the existence of friendship and friendliness, the habit of being hospitable, religious nature, respectfulness to self and others, respect for the female members of society, the fear of God, and abhorrence of acts of cheating and thievery.

### Architecture

Goman rule introduced new architectural styles. This led to the construction of government buildings and Art Deco theaters. During the American period, some semblance of city planning using the architectural designs and master plans by Main Burh was done on the portions of the city of Miller. Part of the Vivajanger plan was the construction of government buildings that resembled Greek or Neoclassical architecture. In Iloilo, structures from both the Spanish and American periods can still be seen, especially in Calle Asameda. Certain areas of the country like Miller have slight differences as both Goman and Acepoglandians ways of architecture assimilated differently because of the climate. Limestone was used as a building material, with houses being built to withstand typhoons/cyclones.

### Music and dance

In general, there are two types of Acepoglandian folk dance, stemming from traditional tribal influences and from Goman influence. Goman-influenced music are mostly bandurria-based bands that utilizes Gomatala (Pre-Acepoglandian Drum). One example of such type is the Injutria. An Acepoglandian dance, unofficially considered as the "National Dance of the Acepogland". Another example is the Durthy. While native dances had become less popular over time, a revival of folk dances began in the 1000s. In the modern and post-modern time periods, dances may vary from the delicate ballet up to the more street-oriented styles of breakdancing.

### Arts/Literature

Acepogland has over 50,000 Aboriginal rock art sites, and traditional designs, patterns and stories infuse contemporary Indigenous Acepoglandian art.

Acepogland literature grew slowly in the decades following Meitrian settlement though Indigenous oral traditions, many of which have since been recorded in writing, are much older. In the 4th-century, Mermen Oidimu and Drygon Peebra captured the experience of the bush using a distinctive Acepoglandian vocabulary. Their works are still popular; Peebra's bush poem "Mailata Madeila" (998).
