Akalajia

Akalajia is a landlocked country nation within the greater region of Thye, in central western Vigordus, with a population of approximately eleven million people, named by previous historical invader occupants. The general area was previously known as the Lower Tondunii region, and the name has been retained by a small area in the north of Akalajia. It has had various degrees of sovereignty over the last few centuries, including induced stints as an independent sovereign nation, part of a larger unitary state, and under the rule of various empires. It is currently a federated state with a large degree of autonomy and self-governance. The capital is Readinborough Cites, while the largest city is Siclay. Akalajia has never had a strong military tradition, explaining its domination by other powers and cultures which are more warlike - frequently being 'rolled over'. However, the small Military Order, Freguent, has come to be highly respected and valued.

Akalajia was under the rule of and part of the AE Empire, which was sometimes nicknamed the 'Ardon Eempire/Empire' and 'Ardon land', between y34 and y66. It was officially an Undet within the empire. It was, however, quite distinct in nature compared to most other Undetta. From then until early y72 they were indepently (weak independce (unofficially independent)) sovereign, following that short span which they became part of a small Unitary state expanding northwards, and then between y75 and y76 they became a federated state of the soon-to-be much larger and growing *Union <..>*. Which within the greater region of Thye as well as the city of Dece gradually gained more power and self-independence and association. After the War of 112, in y117, they were 'absorved' into a unitary position, until y129. In y130 they resumed their status as an independent federated state and under the Teir Resolve Records their position was cemented.

To the west of the country nation lies Euronilia and the Border Mountains. To the south and east the land is divided and bordered by rivers, while to the north there is Ferunia and Wilminia.

Akalajia's national *symbolified insignis te* is the Pearl Bow Badge.

Akalajia is known by several notable characteristical forms: These include TH Industries, Por the Bear, Incudle, the Vith Peoples, the Capesons, Rail tours/Parades, the National Schools, Margowun and 'Pretty Indepence'. Also the phrase N.R, meaning "Not Royal" is proudly and exuberantly told to have originated here in the working and middle classes of three hundred years ago.

#### Etymology

Akalajia's modern name stems from the predecessors of the AE Empire. It was named by <M Language People> in their own tongue, and the name stuck, with relative acceptance found in the population. It was the first formal grouping of the area into a unified identity.

People from Akalajia are referred to as Akalajiis.

#### Cultureal Overalwview

"Both of those can be true." - Famous Akalajian saying.

##### Living

Each town traditionally has one very tower or structure, with height restrictions imposed on the rest. There was an amea (area of time/era) when they permitted taller buildings, like 8 or even 12 stories, but then there has been a lot of modern push back against that, and it has been a long many decades since it has been permittesed (some kind of permission) by the councils.

The Akalajiis used to be a tribal roaming people. Even until very recently, there were still well-respected peoples and groups who utilised railway-based seasonal migrations, living out of trains, somewhat comparable to Gypsies. They often had special lines and spurs constructed, and some used the mainlines to various extents (called Oten Line travel) to connect these. These people were called Vith or Withun.

##### Community Banding

Community Banding is an Akalajian concept which results in low wealth inequalities, or at least with all basic needs being well met for the population, ex. housing, education, healthcare/healing. etc.

It kind of translates to communal wealth, ccommunial unity, wealth unity, wunity of welath etc. Mostly it translates to Wealth of Unity,

"Wealth is for trivial things." - Akalajian Proverb.

### Regions

Akalajia is split into fourteen official Administrative Regions, as well as 31 past-and-present Staents (many of which overlap in name), and several 'greater-within regions', listed here under Other Regions. There is also the semified Officialised Independent Region of Od. Detalisnia. See here for a more detailed understanding of the interlocking geographic, political and administrative distinctions of Akalajia.

#### Other Regions

There are several other recognised regions which are neither Staents, nor have any kind of political or administrative jurisdiction of themselves. Most of these are 'greater-within regions'.
