Elatsania

The **State of Elatsania** (*Traveler's Tongue:* Riverside), simply known as **Elatsania**, was a short-lived oligarch state on the Eldham Isle of Zamotz. Founded by Indusian natives on the Isle, the state considered itself independent from the colonizing country of Neubaykonia since the city of Indusia's founding on July 13th, 2021, but did not receive international recognition until an agreement with Neubaykonia was brokered on July 16th.

##### Early History

The capital city of Indusia traces its origins back to the splintered Indusi peoples south of the Wasbena River. Divided and living scattered across the Neubaykonian colony, no major settlement arose until one native, Okomi, gathered several families to build a shelter overlooking the Wasbena. Eventually gathering more members, Okomi declared the lands the "City of Progress", translated simply as Indusia to outsiders. Furthermore, Okomi believed that the Indusi deserved sovereignty and representation, organizing a council of individuals whom have proven themselves to be of significant contribution to the city's development. Okomi then declared Indusia sovereign and separate from Neubaykonia, attempting to achieve international recognition in the time that followed.

##### Growth and Outreach

Following the fall of Bibshmibbia from the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa, the residents of Indusia quickly began developing ties with whomever they could, forming an alliance with the neighboring native country of Suunturn and the nation of Limuria for mutual protection. The city also grew substantially during this time, attracting other native Indusi and outside settlers alike. Indusia quickly became one of the most populated cities on Zamotz.

To solidify claims on the Neubaykonian colony, town member SOLISS888 ventured eastward to settle the city of Port Maria, giving the Indusi peoples a direct connection of the sea besides the Wasbeni River.

##### Independence and Expansion

On the morning hours of July 16th, Neubaykonia sent a notice to the citizens of Indusia, stating that they will be offered a council seat at best and will not be recognized as a sovereign state. Okomi took to the negotiation table, as himself and most Indusians began anticipating war as the inevitable outcome. Discussion, however, proved to be fruitful, and Indusia - now the state of Elatsania - achieved its independence in exchange for joining the Southern Guard Bloc, an alliance of which Neubaykonia was a member of. Later that day, a separate agreement was negotiated with Suunturn, and it was incorporated into Elatsania.

##### Zamotz Union

Several border disputes with Limuria began to pose issues for the country, and the alliance was faltering. At the same time, however, negotiations between Limuria and Viodoxa were failing, and both situations posed a threat to Elatsania. Ultimately, both Okomi I and Draphonaris agreed that a union between Limuria and Elatsania was the best way to proceed forwards for the island, and negotiations on how the system would work lasted a day before the two countries unified on July 19th.

#### Selling an island

On December the 29th 2021, the claims for an island south of Elatsania, Weskoria had fallen. The Neubaykonian government, now part of the Zamotz Union, claimed over the island. The king of Neubaykonia, Biglrab, realized his mistake upon settling on Elatsanian land and contacted Okomi. After some discussion, an agreement had been made; The Baykonia-Elatsania Land Cession. Neubaykonia would pay 100,000$ for the island, Neubaykonia would not be allowed to terraform the island closer to Elatsania. The payment could be stretched over a period of 1 month, which was paid by the deadline.

The town of Sunovia is now set up on the island and continues to be constructed by the mayor, Josep Thorne, and the king of Neubaykonia, Biglrab.
