## History

Ingland is an island nation located on the Isles of Pwek, an archipelago somewhere in the west Pacific Ocean. While human activities on the island are present for more than a thousand years, the modern country of United Ingland is only established in the 1950s, after a series of colonisation and foreign occupation.

### Ancient times

Evidence of human activities and historical records shows that the Isles of Pwek was inhabited at least a thousand years ago. Humans are believed to have arrived to the Isles of Pwek from the Japanese archipelago. This hypothesis is supported by linguistic evidence, as several words in Pwekish, the local language, are believed to be related to some Japanese vocabularies.

Before the unification of the Isles of Pwek under a single political identity, multiple factions of tribes existed and fought each other over the dominance on the islands. The situation continued until the 12th centuries, when the islands are mostly unified under 3 kingdoms, Inexapwen Kingdom (北方國 Inexapwen-kuk, literally "the northern kingdom"), Hixapwen Kingdom (南方國 Hixapwen-kuk, literally "the southern kingdom") and Akixapwen Kingdom (東方國 Akixapwen-kuk, literally "the eastern kingdom"). The Isles of Pwek have entered the Ritpwen Period (三國時代 Ritpwen Dyiday).

### Ritpwen Period

The Ritpwen Period, literally "the 3 kingdoms period", marks the time of formation for the Pwekish culture and identity. Though 3 kingdoms existed on the islands, all 3 of them were fighting for dominance over the whole territory of the islands, which also lead to development in Pwekish culture in the 3 kingdoms to show their cultural superiprity. Many forts and castles were also built in this period for military purposes, which had ultimately shaped the style of Pwekish architecture. During this period, the native script of Pwekish BentolPwék was created based on Chinese characters, the use of which had spread over from Japan. This marks the start of Pwekish folk literature.

In the late Ritpwen Period, the Hixapwen Kingdom had become more and more powerful through trade and diplomacy. It launched a number of successful conquest against the other kingdoms, resulting in the unification of the Puntu Island, and driving the remaining powers of the other kingdoms off to the outlying islands in the year 1483. After the unification of Puntu island, Hixapwen Kingdom renamed itself into the Pwek Kingdom (佩國 Pwekuk, literally "the local kingdom"), marking the end of the Ritpwen Period and the start of the Pwek Kingdom Period (佩國時代 Pwekuk Dyiday).

### Pwek Kingdom Period

During the Pwek Kingdom Period, the Pwekish nation reached its proudest period, with its cultural, economic and military development at its peak. At the start pf the period, the Pwek Kingdom continued to launch campaigns to the outlying islands, conquering the islands one by one, and eventually caused the remaining power of Akixapwen Kingdom on the Sekritnkaynres Island to surrender in 1671. The Pwek Kingdom also survived a Japanese invasion at 1613 and a Spanish invasion at 1630, partly due to storms destroying enemy ships during the battles. This started the worshipping of the O Mighty God of the Storm by the Pwekish, who were believed to have protected them from foreign invasions. Afterwards, the Pwek Kingdom maintained a mostly peaceful relationship with foreign powers, and allowed trade to happen with foreign traders. Several trading ports were established, and foreigners were allowed to live in the kingdom in several regions.

As the several hundreds of years of relative peace passed by, the Pwek Kingdom did not place much attention to military development, which ultimated caused its downfall. In the 19th century, several western powers had forced the Pwekish to sign unequal treaty to give them special trading statuses. Owing to the proximity of the Isles of Pwek to the territories of German New Guinea, the Germans demanded submission of the Pwekish, to which the Pwekish refused. This resulted in the German-Pwekish war of 1902, which the Pwekish lost. The Isles of Pwek thus entered into the Colonial Period.

### Colonial Period

The Colonial Period lasted from 1902 to 1953, when the Isles of Pwek were occupied by various foreign powers. The German colonial period ended in 1920, which is succeeded by a British colonial period. In World War II, the Japanese occupied the isles. This was followed by an American occupation after the end of the world war. The colonial period brought much of the foreign immigrants to the isles, which ultimately shaped the modern Inglesh identity.

### Modern Period

Ingland became an independent country at 1953 as the Republic of the Isles of Pwek, after an independent referendum. In the early year of establishment, the Ingland government had implement a series of policies that did not favor the indigenous Pwekish, in the excuse of promoting national unity. With English being the lingua franca, it is deemed unimportant to promote the use of the other languages on the isles. This had the adverse effect of causing the formation of extreme political groups who holds opposing views, but also speeded up the modern development of the Isles. In the late 1900s, cultural suppression policies were lightened up, and ethnic pride had became popular among citizens. Educations and preservations of local Pwekish, Inglesh and Sisaidian cultures started to pick up. The country also changed its name to United Ingland in 1989, which remained as its name until today.

## Origin of Name and flag

### Name

The name "Ingland" came from the idea that the country is the homeland of all Inglesh, a name often seen as uniting all people of the Isles of Pwek no matter their background. As the nation is a federation, every states are united under 1 flag, hence the word "United" is used.

### Flag

Ingland flag is a tricolour flag, with colours blue, orange and green counting from the top to the bottom. Usually it is placed horizontally. But in some cases, such as having the flag as a banner on the building, it can also be placed vertically by turning it 90° to the left or right.

The colours on the Ingland flag has its own meaning. Blue symbolizes peace, orange symbolizes friendliness, and green symbolizes environmental protection. This matches the motto of Ingland.

## Geography

Ingland is an island nation. This means it is mostly composed of islands in close proximity. Located between the Ogasawara islands of Japan and the Mariana islands of the U.S, the islands are formed originally due to eruptions of underwater volcanoes between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Pacific Plate. Nowadays the volcanoes on the Isles of Pwek are mostly dormant, due to the formation of the Mariana Plate. However, earthquakes still occur occasionally, sometimes as frequently as 3 times a year.

The Pwekish main Island of Puntu (Pwekish: 本島/Puntu) is the largest island in the archipelago, with most cities and towns located on it. The second largest island is Sekritnkaynrestu (Pwekish: 神山島/Sekritnkaynres-tu, also known as Sekrinkaynrettu in the local dialect), and numerous smaller islands surrounds the 2 largest islands. The volcanic eruptions created a lot of variation in altitude on the islands. As a result, various climate exists on the islands.

### Climate

Ingland is located in the sub-tropical area. As such, the climate of Ingland is usually hot in the summer and cool in the winter. Rainfall is fairly common on the Isles. Although the islands are located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, as they don't typically lie in the path of typhoons, the islands are not typically affected by typhoons in the summers. Temperatures in the winter are typically above 0ºC, but because of the variation in altitude, sleet and snowfall are sometimes recorded from mountain areas.

## Politics

United Ingland is a federal state, where the member states are classified into core member states and normal member states. The core member states have the largest power with the ability to set up an army, while normal member states enjoy a high autonomy.
