The **CoG Region** is a sub-continent located in the northeast of Eldham on the continent of Valresh. Currently, 10 nations have land inside the region. The region consists of the area that The Confederation of Garxijos had a major role in, be it directly or influentially. The major historical forces in the region so far have been The Ellysian Empire, The Confederation of Garxijos, The Republic of Helsia, and The Uraki Imperium.

There are not many languages native to the region that are spoken today, but the most commonly spoken language is Lo'Oi; specifically a dialect of it called Vasa Lo'Oi. Other dialects like Ko"Oi are also spoken.

## Historical Dominant Nations

### Ellysian Empire

The region was long united under The Ellysian Empire, until the First and Second Coalition-Ellysian War, and following these wars, zones of occupation were set up that would later spring into new nations that called the land home, including The Federal Republic of Cognia and Garxijos Yawos.

### Confederation of Garxijos

The CoG was made following a merger with Garxijos and Cognia, and began to slowly expand. The whole region was ended up united under the Nation, giving it the name it has today. The region prospered under a democratic rule, starring a major figures such as Buoyo and Robraph. Eventually, the country collapsed due to internal chaos leading up to a split and division into it's states.

### Republic of Helsia

Following the collapse of CoG, the historical nation of Helsia declared independence and instantaneously became a power house in the region, having nearly a 4th of the total population of the region. Their historical presence in the area allowed them to jump straight into the regions post-CoG scene, giving them the upper hand against most nations.

### The Uraki Imperium

Uraka was the undisputed champion of the region for a few months following the collapse of COG. The region was nearly been entirely united under their reign, and a majority of nations in the region opted into joining the Imperium. Following several civil unrest movements in the formerly independent regions and an internal decay, Uraka broke into several smaller pieces, leaving the region without a clear powerhouse.
