N/A

**The Mesi Kingdom**, officially **Meskhqoqo**, is an aristocratic monarchy residing in Northwestern Alnukk in the Mesa region. The Kingdom consists of the numerous city-states of the various Mesi Tribes that live on the plateaus of the Mesa that have resided there for thousands of years. The region harbors harsh arid Mesa deserts, with the only hospitable regions being the plateaus themselves. The various tribes, having been divided and isolated for thousands of years, have a variety of unique cultures and practices, however the tribes share broader cultural similarities.

## Etymology

The term Meskhqoqo comes from 3 terms, the first part being the term Mesi, literally meaning "Jungle/Forest People", which in turn comes from the term Mesa, the term used for the Mesa region they live in, which literally translated means "Jungle/Forest", however culturally the term Mesa is specifically in reference to their region, the Mesa region, and is used in a similar way to "homeland", "promised land", etc. The second part being from Khuea, meaning "King/Emperor" and the final part term Iuqoqo, a broader term for "state", "nation", or a general political body that is similar to those concepts, building up into Mes-kh-qoqo (Mesi-King-State).

## History

### Prehistory

For hundreds of years, the tribes would remain isolated, until [date to be determined], when Ijbo Khuea, the leader of the Kajhivuho tribe, would send and go with explorers to find and establish stronger relations with other tribes (and inadvertently other peoples), inspired by the Gjjnh religious concept of [United Mesi, there's an actual Mesi term but it needs to be created first] described in the Great Decay, the term for the collective Mesi people before Pahhni and Hiala's battle, with his goal being to find and bring together the various tribes as one. Ijbo and his explorers would be successful, finding nearby tribes and establising more complex and stronger foreign agreements than beforehand. These various agreements, dubbed the [Intra-Mesa Articles], would be the foundation that would be used to soon establish Meskhqoqo.

### Early History

(The original local tribes eventually turn into a full kingdom, the details aren't gonna happen until later/until we're established enough to actually do them)

### Recent History

(This will have all the empire's history and such once the kingdom expands and eventually turns into an empire [intended future of the Mesi], and more explanation of that)

## Geography

### Physical Geography

Meskhqoqo consists primarily of arid desert, with various plateaus scattered about. It has a major river cutting the region in half, with mountainous plateaus surrounding the interior of the region.

### Biodiversity

Very little life survives in the Mesa. Only Beetroot, Sweetberries, small Shrubbery, Cactus and Sugarcane are hardy enough to grow in the lower desert itself, however wheat, glowberries, oak, acacia, and cherrybloom trees can survive, alongside beetroot, shrubbery, sugarcane, and cactus, in the upper plateaus. Fish are prevalent in the major river, and small animals, especially the rabbit and chicken, can graze on the plateaus.

### Climate

The Mesa region is a primarily arid region, save for the plateaus. It has a wet-dry seasonal, with most/all of the rain and moisture being held at the plateaus. The region can have extreme heat during it's dry season, however during it's wet season, offers excellent weather, remaining around 70~ degrees, and the dry season getting to 100+. Sandstorms can frequent the lower desert, alongside drought, heatwaves, and occassional wildfires from the dry shrubbery and extreme heat.

## Government and Politics

Meskhquouo is an aristocratic monarchy. Settlements are run by a tribal family, who maintain the town as they see fit as long as they listen to the Khuea (king), each family member can vote in the Khuea and can be elected as Khuea (they have to run), the Khuea will take the title of Khuea as their last name, and the town becomes the capital during their reign, Khuea is a lifetime title (unless a family decides to do a motion for a dethroning vote, the majority of the families agree to do a dethroning vote, and the vote is against the Khuea, and if they are dethroned, then the Khuea reverts to their original name), some regions may have a vote for a regional vote (like a governor) that functions similar to the function of a tribal family but on a larger level and will represent the whole of the region's families.

The ways a tribal family run itself depends on the culture, some will have a militaristic angle, others will have a family council that maintains the town, others will have the tribal chief run everything, it depends on the tribe
