Attu Project:Fun facts

Caseic Archipelago

• Populous mostly-tropical islands
• Biggest island is Casea
• 2nd-biggest is Brisa, located to the south-west of Casea
• Most people therein have no noses as a result of various weather events in the archipelago's pre-calming history resulting in an epigenetic hereditary trait.
• Split into several sovereign states:

The Caseic Federation

• United the whole archipelago in 49 TT
• Broke apart as a result of the war with Tietero in 26 PC
• Council-ruled government
• The Federal Council has 19 representatives per state who agree to govern by consensus, rather than having one leader.
• The Federal Foreign Minister is below the Federal Council, and is in theory an international representative of the Federal Council.
• Capital is Ibe-Jibin, located in south-western inland Casea.

Kingdom of Prefichi

• Located in north-west Casea
• Originally the Duchy of Prefichi, a state of the Federation, but declared independence as a result of King Prebache XV having a personal disagreement with Acting FFM Chuwe Brifam during a meeting with Niueyjar, around 26 PC before the war with Tietero.
• Capital is Wefiche, located in the kingdom's east

Greater Nayela Union

• Located in northern Casea, south of Prefichi
• Originally part of the Federation, but became de facto independent in 27 PC
• Pentarchy
• Consists of five (in theory) sub-states
• The rulers of these sub-states each have a vote in the G.N.U. council.
• Capital is Framaja-Nayela, located at the G.N.U.'s centre

Brenjia

• Located in north-east Casea, east of Prefichi and north of the G.N.U.
• Originally a sub-state of the G.N.U., but became a protectorate of Utlia in 26 PC, and a province of Utlia in 41 PC.
• Capital is Brenji, a fairly large coastal city

Esiga

• Left the Caseic Federation in 30 PC, joined the G.N.U. for a while, then left later to become independent after its monarch died without an heir
• Currently ruled by a coalition of nobility and business interests

Caseic Religion

• Two main autochthonous religions: Framjism and Gastism
• Framjism is a hierarchical religion based on a belief in benevolent gods instructing people to take care of the land.
• Mainly practiced in the north and inland south of Casea
• Gastism is a dystheistic folk religion based on a belief in working together as humanity struggling against cruel gods
• Mainly practiced on Brisa and the coastal south of Casea
• There are some fringe theories of syncretism between these two belief systems.

Deysachin

Technically consists of one landmass and surrounding islands, nominally claims to consist of the universe Ruled by Modhes Ywl, an undead mage who claims to be a god The functional government is Modhes Temple, the hierarchical church worshiping him. The Modhes religion is the state faith. Capital and most populous city is Ywl, which is also the highest point on Deysachin. Ywl is also shaped like deysachin. An imperial power, deysachin is intent on spreading their ideology across the world and eventually unifying all life under their god. Despite this imperial nature, Deysachni nonreligious law is quite libertarian. Deysachin 65 ethnolinguistic families, packed densely together The geography is heavily mountainous and wet, with many bogs and swamps. Much of the population outside the big cities live very rurally, as they've done for ages. Prior to Modhes Ywl, deysachin was the home of endless cycles of rising and falling states. Deysachni timekeeping is nonlinear, years are declared by Modhes Ywl, months are declared provincially, and days occur according to the sun rising and falling. Among deysachni priests are the Bishops, who are undead and immortal, but bound by ritual and spiritualism.

Kalam

Kalam is a chain of islands in the Western archipelago. Their weather gyrates between stormy rainfall through one half of the year and a scorching, arid climate the rest of the year. The Kalami Nation was formed after an extended period of clans being at war with each other. Several of the biggest states, united in shared interests and using the same language, conquered and unified the islands from the North and eventually expanded all the way to the southernmost territories. Kalami use a solar alphabet consisting of sets of 20 day months for regular timekeeping, but they also use a lunar calendar of 30 day periods for things like rituals, festivals, etc. The Council of Elders, their supreme leaders, were nominally holy people in the Makaist religion, but this belief was slowly fazed out in modern times. Kalami tend to divide their national identity into the southern subcultures, consisting of the islands of Hatun, Samay, Kuchu and Puyu, and northern cultures consisting of the islands of Hikuen, Wasi and Pacha. The government is protected by the "Sultar", an army of heavy soldiers who used to form part of a large clan serving the Kalami Nation before being organized into the Army of Kalam post-calming.
