## Biographical Information

### Language

Zaktopian

Emoville was founded by Chieftain Abongile, the first Zaktopian President and became part of the Democratic Republic of Zaktopia. Due to a large population of people from modern day Pakistan as a result of multiple ships containing Indian Muslims escaping British rule and persecution for their religion by Indian Hindus landing on the coast of Zaktopia and settling there. There was much unrest due to the Protestant majority of Zaktopia treating the Indian migrants harshly. Relative to the other states, Emoville treated the Muslims better so many of the Indian migrants decided to travel to Emoville on one of the largest mass migrations. Some of the Indian population stayed in Zaktopia and endured the religious segregation, but many converted to Christianity, owing to the large Pakistani community in Zaktopia. Many Zaktopian Protestants in Emoville began to feel sympathetic towards the Muslim population and sided with them. There were many revolutions within Emoville, but all failed. Zaktopian rule was tightened over the state and there were regular military patrols in the streets to enforce order.

By the early 20th century, Emoville began to understand that they could not overpower Zaktopia, despite Charkaonese aid, so their solution was to reproduce much more so that in many years, they could eventually overthrow due to their numbers, this is possibly one of the most unorthodox and peculiar ways to gain independence ever seen, and often confuses historians. By the 21st century their population had grown from roughly 6,000,000 in 1750, to 136,000,000. Just a few years earlier in the year 1993, Zaktopia had given Emoville independence as they felt sympathetic towards them and because they didn’t want the country as it was bringing down their economy drastically due to their high poverty and fertility rates. To this day, Emoville has the largest Muslim population by percentage in Zedici and also has one of the highest fertility rates in the world.
