El Fwonk Casanosia

King Horror: /* Languages */

El Fwonk Casanosia (Arodjun: ''Ezle Fwonk K'sleinozlja'') refers to the state, or collection of states, that occupy the territory of the [[Fwonnel Peninsula]], as considered by Arodjun-speaking pups, since the region's independence from the [[Permechikan Empire]] in 1845 AR.

Since its initial independence, El Fwonk Casanosia has existed in multiple forms and been formally or informally dissolved during times of crisis or foreign occupation several times. See [[Timeline of the Fwonnel Peninsula]] for a simple visualized breakdown. The majority of the time after 1845, however, the nation has been at least nominally unified by the [[Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia]], a foundational legal document.
[[File:Fwonnelmap.png|thumb|The Fwonnel Peninsula, home of the majority of El Fwonk Casanosia’s traditional territory.]]

The exact borders of what constitutes “El Fwonk Casanosia” have also changed may times, especially its eastern bounds. The Permechikan Desert makes for a difficult boundary to define, despite several attempts to do so, including walls and military garrisons.

== Ecology and Geography ==
(see [[Fwonnel Peninsula]] for more details)

The majority of El Fwonk Casanosia is located on the Fwonnel Peninsula, which has very rugged terrain, ranging from hilly to sharply mountainous. The ecosystem is overall subtropical, with some areas being wetland, others being monsoonal desert, and others being alpine forest.

The ecology of El Fwonk Casanosia is entirely dependent on the water that comes from the [[Great Geyser Lake]], an enormous series of springs located along the [[Irkun Fault]] that create the [[Prins River]] and its tributaries.

A series of large lakes and streams exist throughout the peninsula, most of which lead to the [[Death Canyon River]] and [[Death Canyon Delta]] at the northwest corner of the [[Froof Straits]]. Most of the lakes and rivers were not natural - they were dammed up, dug, and dredged by countless generations of [[Pups]] going back thousands of years. The most recent significant change to the map of El Fwonk Casanosia was the 1836 AR Flattening of [[Mount Supuksis]] by the Permechikan Empire, linking together the islands of [[Fwonn]] and Fishtail.

== Political Geography ==

''(See [[List of Locations in El Fwonk Casanosia]] for a full list of settlements in El Fwonk Casanosia)''

Populations of Pups can be found throughout the country. Each settlement has its own government, often with radically different local structures. Many times there are clusters of towns with defined centers of economic activity that organize themselves into ''feunawa'', often anglicized as "Counties."

These counties and independent towns and cities are organized geographically into ''k'ix'' (Districts), each of which are subsumed into one of three Judicial Regions.

=== District Governments ===
[[File:Districts, 1879-2031.png|thumb|Districts of El Fwonk Casanosia, 1879-2031]]
There are three Judicial Regions and 18 total Districts. Every District has its own government style, and often one is wildly different from the other in terms of economic style, freedoms, and democracy.

== History ==
(see [[Timeline of the Fwonnel Peninsula]] for a breakdown of the history of the peninsula beyond simply the country of El Fwonk Casanosia)

The origins of the nation of [[El Fwonk Casanosia]] can be largely traced to the events leading up to the [[War of the Pearl]] and subsequent conquest by the [[Permechikan Empire]].

=== War of the Pearl and the Consolidation of Modern Cultural Identities (early 1500s - 1565) ===
(write War of the Pearl section)

=== Span Dynasty Period (1565-1699)===
The Permechikan Conquest was largely complete by 1565. The ruling [[Span Dynasty]] at the time had no interest in affecting the culture of the subjugated peoples. The Span ruling class largely saw themselves as a restoration of the [[Prins Empire]] from two centuries before, and as such they promoted Prins-style economic practices, gave special social benefits to subjects of Prins heritage, and preserved the use of Base-10 numerals in practical life. Other than this, the citizens of the new Province of [[Fwunúrucun]] were allowed to speak [[Early Modern Arodjun]], [[Early Modern Irkun]], [[Loutzuman]], [[Frufi]], or [[Kleonid]] without issue. Their cultures were not heavily impacted as long as their practices didn’t question or interfere with the authority of the [[Thúr of Fwunúrucun]] (anglicized as “Viceroy”, or described using the [[Imperial Prins]] term *baven*).

The biggest changes to daily life were economic activities, including the mass exploitation and export of natural resources to the rest of the empire. The old Prins currency, the [[Filinren]], or “Prins Palm,” was replaced with the [[Búquful]], the “Prins Imperial Ball.” Ports were secured with new military fortresses and heavily expanded for the increased exporting to the rest of the empire.

=== N7ll7th Dynasty and Growing Unrest (1699-1820) ===

The Span Dynasty came to an end after Permechikan nationalists overthrew the Span government in [[Pemex]] and drew the support of many of the northern military legions. [[Nú7ll7th]] became the new emperor in 1699 and Fwunúrucun was placed under the leadership of Thúr [[Kultú8llus18]]. The leadership style changed significantly, and the daily life of the citizens of Fwunúrucun was placed under much heavier scrutiny.

A new official brand of the [[Bez]] religion was established that stripped religious authority from local leaders or the successors to the [[Ark Dynasty]] of Fwonnel Bezubuv, shifting the right to terraform to the Thúr. New Brueaucratic Government “Capacity Tests” were introduced, which made proficiency in the [[Permechikan]] language a requirement to reach higher levels in government-controlled businesses and offices. Licenses were required for native-owned vessels to sail in and out of Imperial-controlled ports, which required heavy fees to maintain. New taxes were also implemented on goods purchased in the Fwonnel Peninsula, even if they were purchased by local businesses for sale. All of this, and many other acts of restriction on the public, led to growing resistance, both public and private.

By the late 1700s, pre-Permechikan nationalism became popular amongst the cultural groups of the Peninsula. Arojaunzans became the first to actively rebel. Pejoratively named “Casanosians” (from [[Arodjun]] ''K’sleinozlja'' “land of the people with foreign ideas”), various bands refused to acknowledge Permechikan authority. Soon enough, they were engaged in gun and melee battles with Permechikan soldiers and police.

Rebellious fervor permeated the Peninsula, though most anti-government action was in secret, or done via committing tax fraud, forgery, or other acts of economic subversion. This is the context in which two of the founding Fathers of El Fwonk Casanosia were raised, [[Cato]] and [[Vara]]. Both were born in a town near the northeast dhore of [[Roox Lake]] and at a young age moved to the city of [[Dedun]], which, while not geographically a part of the Fwonnel Peninsula or even historically a part of any of the Peninsular societies, was a hotbed for underground revolutionary activities.

== Government ==
The government of El Fwonk Casanosia has evolved over time, but at its core it is apt to call it a sort of Confederation. The Anglicized phrase “Karkuvate” is often used, as the country elects a Karkuv, or “President,” as the head of state and government. However, each district is permitted to have its own form of government which is allowed to do whatever it wants as long as it adheres to the [[Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia]]. This has facilitated the rise in power and status of the judges that determine laws at the local, district, and federal level. Because of this, especially after the [[War of the Continent]], the government could be aptly described as a Juristocracy, or a Juristocratic Confederation. In [[Arodjun]], this is called ''Ninnuvex'', “the state of rule by judges.”

There are 18 Districts (Arodjun: ''feunawa''), each with their own governments. The districts each have their own courts consisting of an odd number of judges (Arodjun: ''twaxino''). One high judge (Arodjun: ''ninnuv'') from each District participates in one of three Councils of Judges, or “Judicial Regions” to settle inter-district legal conflicts that may not affect the entire nation. The judges from each of the three Councils then convenes at the National Court to settle nationwide legal matters, with the Karkuv and Akuv joining the case to contribute to decisions.

The population of the Fwonnel Peninsula, as of the 2065 Census, is (insert here), a decline of 1.5% compared to the data found in the 2060 Census.

The old Prins currency, the [[Filinren]], or “Prins Palm,” was replaced with the [[Búquful]], the “Prins Imperial Ball.” Ports were secured with new military fortresses and heavily expanded for the increased exporting to the rest of the empire.

=== N7ll7th Dynasty and Growing Unrest (1699-1820) ===

The Span Dynasty came to an end after Permechikan nationalists overthrew the Span government in [[Pemex]] and drew the support of many of the northern military legions. [[Nú7ll7th]] became the new emperor in 1699 and Fwunúrucun was placed under the leadership of Thúr [[Kultú8llus18]]. The leadership style changed significantly, and the daily life of the citizens of Fwunúrucun was placed under much heavier scrutiny.

A new official brand of the [[Bez]] religion was established that stripped religious authority from local leaders or the successors to the [[Ark Dynasty]] of Fwonnel Bezubuv, shifting the right to terraform to the Thúr. New Brueaucratic Government “Capacity Tests” were introduced, which made proficiency in the [[Permechikan]] language a requirement to reach higher levels in government-controlled businesses and offices. Licenses were required for native-owned vessels to sail in and out of Imperial-controlled ports, which required heavy fees to maintain. New taxes were also implemented on goods purchased in the Fwonnel Peninsula, even if they were purchased by local businesses for sale. All of this, and many other acts of restriction on the public, led to growing resistance, both public and private.

By the late 1700s, pre-Permechikan nationalism became popular amongst the cultural groups of the Peninsula. Arojaunzans became the first to actively rebel. Pejoratively named “Casanosians” (from [[Arodjun]] ''K’sleinozlja'' “land of the people with foreign ideas”), various bands refused to acknowledge Permechikan authority. Soon enough, they were engaged in gun and melee battles with Permechikan soldiers and police.

Rebellious fervor permeated the Peninsula, though most anti-government action was in secret, or done via committing tax fraud, forgery, or other acts of economic subversion. This is the context in which two of the founding Fathers of El Fwonk Casanosia were raised, [[Cato]] and [[Vara]]. Both were born in a town near the northeast dhore of [[Roox Lake]] and at a young age moved to the city of [[Dedun]], which, while not geographically a part of the Fwonnel Peninsula or even historically a part of any of the Peninsular societies, was a hotbed for underground revolutionary activities.

== Government ==
The government of El Fwonk Casanosia has evolved over time, but at its core it is apt to call it a sort of Confederation. The Anglicized phrase “Karkuvate” is often used, as the country elects a Karkuv, or “President,” as the head of state and government. However, each district is permitted to have its own form of government which is allowed to do whatever it wants as long as it adheres to the [[Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia]]. This has facilitated the rise in power and status of the judges that determine laws at the local, district, and federal level. Because of this, especially after the [[War of the Continent]], the government could be aptly described as a Juristocracy, or a Juristocratic Confederation. In [[Arodjun]], this is called ''Ninnuvex'', “the state of rule by judges.”

There are 18 Districts (Arodjun: ''feunawa''), each with their own governments. The districts each have their own courts consisting of an odd number of judges (Arodjun: ''twaxino''). One high judge (Arodjun: ''ninnuv'') from each District participates in one of three Councils of Judges, or “Judicial Regions” to settle inter-district legal conflicts that may not affect the entire nation. The judges from each of the three Councils then convenes at the National Court to settle nationwide legal matters, with the Karkuv and Akuv joining the case to contribute to decisions.

El Fwonk Casanosia

2026-09-18T20:49:38Z

King Horror: /* Demographics */

El Fwonk Casanosia (Arodjun: ''Ezle Fwonk K'sleinozlja'') refers to the state, or collection of states, that occupy the territory of the [[Fwonnel Peninsula]], as considered by Arodjun-speaking pups, since the region's independence from the [[Permechikan Empire]] in 1845 AR.

Since its initial independence, El Fwonk Casanosia has existed in multiple forms and been formally or informally dissolved during times of crisis or foreign occupation several times. See [[Timeline of the Fwonnel Peninsula]] for a simple visualized breakdown. The majority of the time after 1845, however, the nation has been at least nominally unified by the [[Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia]], a foundational legal document.
[[File:Fwonnelmap.png|thumb|The Fwonnel Peninsula, home of the majority of El Fwonk Casanosia’s traditional territory.]]

The exact borders of what constitutes “El Fwonk Casanosia” have also changed may times, especially its eastern bounds. The Permechikan Desert makes for a difficult boundary to define, despite several attempts to do so, including walls and military garrisons.

== Ecology and Geography ==
(see [[Fwonnel Peninsula]] for more details)

The majority of El Fwonk Casanosia is located on the Fwonnel Peninsula, which has very rugged terrain, ranging from hilly to sharply mountainous. The ecosystem is overall subtropical, with some areas being wetland, others being monsoonal desert, and others being alpine forest.

The ecology of El Fwonk Casanosia is entirely dependent on the water that comes from the [[Great Geyser Lake]], an enormous series of springs located along the [[Irkun Fault]] that create the [[Prins River]] and its tributaries.

A series of large lakes and streams exist throughout the peninsula, most of which lead to the [[Death Canyon River]] and [[Death Canyon Delta]] at the northwest corner of the [[Froof Straits]]. Most of the lakes and rivers were not natural - they were dammed up, dug, and dredged by countless generations of [[Pups]] going back thousands of years. The most recent significant change to the map of El Fwonk Casanosia was the 1836 AR Flattening of [[Mount Supuksis]] by the Permechikan Empire, linking together the islands of [[Fwonn]] and Fishtail.

== Political Geography ==

''(See [[List of Locations in El Fwonk Casanosia]] for a full list of settlements in El Fwonk Casanosia)''

Populations of Pups can be found throughout the country. Each settlement has its own government, often with radically different local structures. Many times there are clusters of towns with defined centers of economic activity that organize themselves into ''feunawa'', often anglicized as "Counties."

These counties and independent towns and cities are organized geographically into ''k'ix'' (Districts), each of which are subsumed into one of three Judicial Regions.

=== District Governments ===
[[File:Districts, 1879-2031.png|thumb|Districts of El Fwonk Casanosia, 1879-2031]]
There are three Judicial Regions and 18 total Districts. Every District has its own government style, and often one is wildly different from the other in terms of economic style, freedoms, and democracy.

== History ==
(see [[Timeline of the Fwonnel Peninsula]] for a breakdown of the history of the peninsula beyond simply the country of El Fwonk Casanosia)

The origins of the nation of [[El Fwonk Casanosia]] can be largely traced to the events leading up to the [[War of the Pearl]] and subsequent conquest by the [[Permechikan Empire]].

=== War of the Pearl and the Consolidation of Modern Cultural Identities (early 1500s - 1565) ===
(write War of the Pearl section)

=== Span Dynasty Period (1565-1699)===
The Permechikan Conquest was largely complete by 1565. The ruling [[Span Dynasty]] at the time had no interest in affecting the culture of the subjugated peoples. The Span ruling class largely saw themselves as a restoration of the [[Prins Empire]] from two centuries before, and as such they promoted Prins-style economic practices, gave special social benefits to subjects of Prins heritage, and preserved the use of Base-10 numerals in practical life. Other than this, the citizens of the new Province of [[Fwunúrucun]] were allowed to speak [[Early Modern Arodjun]], [[Early Modern Irkun]], [[Loutzuman]], [[Frufi]], or [[Kleonid]] without issue. Their cultures were not heavily impacted as long as their practices didn’t question or interfere with the authority of the [[Thúr of Fwunúrucun]] (anglicized as “Viceroy”, or described using the [[Imperial Prins]] term *baven*).

The biggest changes to daily life were economic activities, including the mass exploitation and export of natural resources to the rest of the empire. The old Prins currency, the [[Filinren]], or “Prins Palm,” was replaced with the [[Búquful]], the “Prins Imperial Ball.” Ports were secured with new military fortresses and heavily expanded for the increased exporting to the rest of the empire.

=== N7ll7th Dynasty and Growing Unrest (1699-1820) ===

The Span Dynasty came to an end after Permechikan nationalists overthrew the Span government in [[Pemex]] and drew the support of many of the northern military legions. [[Nú7ll7th]] became the new emperor in 1699 and Fwunúrucun was placed under the leadership of Thúr [[Kultú8llus18]]. The leadership style changed significantly, and the daily life of the citizens of Fwunúrucun was placed under much heavier scrutiny.

A new official brand of the [[Bez]] religion was established that stripped religious authority from local leaders or the successors to the [[Ark Dynasty]] of Fwonnel Bezubuv, shifting the right to terraform to the Thúr. New Brueaucratic Government “Capacity Tests” were introduced, which made proficiency in the [[Permechikan]] language a requirement to reach higher levels in government-controlled businesses and offices. Licenses were required for native-owned vessels to sail in and out of Imperial-controlled ports, which required heavy fees to maintain. New taxes were also implemented on goods purchased in the Fwonnel Peninsula, even if they were purchased by local businesses for sale. All of this, and many other acts of restriction on the public, led to growing resistance, both public and private.

By the late 1700s, pre-Permechikan nationalism became popular amongst the cultural groups of the Peninsula. Arojaunzans became the first to actively rebel. Pejoratively named “Casanosians” (from [[Arodjun]] ''K’sleinozlja'' “land of the people with foreign ideas”), various bands refused to acknowledge Permechikan authority. Soon enough, they were engaged in gun and melee battles with Permechikan soldiers and police.

Rebellious fervor permeated the Peninsula, though most anti-government action was in secret, or done via committing tax fraud, forgery, or other acts of economic subversion. This is the context in which two of the founding Fathers of El Fwonk Casanosia were raised, [[Cato]] and [[Vara]]. Both were born in a town near the northeast dhore of [[Roox Lake]] and at a young age moved to the city of [[Dedun]], which, while not geographically a part of the Fwonnel Peninsula or even historically a part of any of the Peninsular societies, was a hotbed for underground revolutionary activities.

Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia

2026-09-18T20:19:35Z

King Horror: /* Applications and Dissolutions */

The Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia (Arodjun:) is the foundational legal document that unifies the polities of the [[Fwonnel Peninsula]] as the country of [[El Fwonk Casanosia]].

First written in the late 1840s AR by [[Cato]], [[Vara]], and many other future holders of the title of [[Kxarkuv of El Fwonk Casanosia]], it locked in the “tribes” of the peninsula in a legal and political union with a set of common laws.

The scope of the Charter has been altered and expanded several times over the years, and dissolved on multiple occasions, especially leading up to and during the [[War of the Continent]]. However, it is considered the core document that legitimizes the existence of a unified state across the Fwonnel Peninsula.

== Text (in English) ==
The following is the English translation of the full text of the Charter:

* The El Fwonk Casanosia is a sovereign and independent governing body that shall not be subservient to any foreign governing body, consisting of the entirety of the El. The El consists of any continuous territory west of the easternmost edge of the Great Geyser Lake. These territories include the nations formerly controlled by the government of the Colonial Governors of the Permechikan Empire, these being the nations Fwonn, Supukojoon, Zlusi, Pakoja, Irkun, Sojarun, Reuxazluslja, Arodjaunzlja, Sizarun, Zleutazuma, Kraker, Zleu, Kraikojoon, Dedun, and Maxintun.
** Amended in 1854: Dedun is no longer included, as it has been ceded by the Permechikan Empire.
** Amended in 1879: These nations now include Zessis, Zkinxop, and Frufi.

* The El Fwonk Casanosia is a union of nations and peoples that must cooperate in times of war against foreign entities and in times of peace for the common trade of goods, transit of people, and transformation of the land.
* Amended in 1859: Militias of each district must contribute personnel and resources to a standing Peninsular Army that serves the government of the El as a whole, and this contribution must be set at 45% of that which is available in each district.
** Amended in 1891: Militias of each district are, by nature, divisions of the Peninsular Army and their soldiers and commanders must obey the orders of their superiors in the Peninsular Army should their services be required.

* The boundaries of each nation are henceforth the boundaries of the districts of the confederation. Should more nations wish to join the confederation, they may do so with the approval of two thirds of the existing districts.
** Amended in 1861: The boundary of the district is defined by the halfway point of waterways that separate one from another or by the peaks of mountains that separate one from another, or by lines specified by markers placed by the confederate government, as of the 6th of Dakum, 1861.

* Each district has the right to govern itself in whatever way it sees fit, so long as it does not interfere with the process of national elections, taxation, terraforming, transit, trade, and linguistic interaction.
** Amended in 1849: The leader of each district joins together as a legislative body known as the Council of Mayors. The Council of Mayors shall convene whenever requested by the Kxarkuv to legislate matters of national importance.
** Amended in 1875: The government seat for the El Fwonk Casanosia is located on Mud Island of the Southern portion of Arojaunza.
** Amended in 1878: The leader of each district must respect the authority of the elected Kxarkuv.
** Amended in 1900: Each district must provide a slate of representatives to the government seat of El Fwonk Casanosia to publish initiatives for government action.
** Amended in 1979: The seat of the Kxarkuv and the Military shall continue to be located on Mud Island, while legislative and judicial bodies shall be situated in the seat of Bez, in Fwonn.

* The common currency of the El shall be that of Red Clay, with the value of products valued at one unit per Hand of Red Clay.
** Amended 1897: The common currency of the El shall be the Zenn, with its value pinned at one hand of quartz.

* Every six years, a Kxarkuv shall be elected by plebiscite of the people of all districts who participate in the El Fwonk Casanosia. Second in command to the Kxarkuv is the Akuv, who commands the Peninsular Army. Each new Kxarkuv may select a new Akuv out of the standing Akivo of the Peninsular Army.
** Amended in 1892: The High Akuv shall be the Akuv of highest authority, selected from the standing Akivo of the Peninsular Army or of the Low Akubuv which command the district militias.
** Amended 1898: The election of a new Kxarkuv shall take place every three years. An incumbent Kxarkuv may seek reelection for one additional year of service.

* Litigation is decided by judges. Each district shall have a head Judge. Each District Judge must convene in one of two Councils of Judges. These districts are the Southern Region, consisting of Fwonn, Supukojoon, Zlusi, Pakoja, Irkun, Sojarun, and Reuxazluslja; and the Northern Region, consisting of Arodjun, Sizarun, Zleutazuma, Kraker, Zleu, Kraikojoon, Dedun, and Maxintun. These Councils settle disputes that cross district lines. For matters of statewide importance, the Councils convene with the Kxarkuv and Akuv to decide the law in conflict.
** Amended in 1854: Dedun is no longer included, as it has been ceded by the Permechikan Empire.
** Amended in 1879: A third judicial region, the Insular Region, is an equal among the Northern and Southern. The Insular Region consists of Zessis, Frufi, and Zkinxop.

* Any person born in the El after the 1st of Pesjukex, 1820 is a citizen of their native district and of the El Fwonk Casanosia. A citizen is permitted to vote in elections for Kxarkuv and for any elections that may take place in their native district.
** Amended 1859: Any person or government in active rebellion is no longer entitled to the rights of a citizen of their native district or of the El Fwonk Casanosia. Any rebellious person or government must swear loyalty to the El Fwonk Casanosia in front of a judge to be granted the rights of a citizen.
** Amended 1860: Any citizen is liable to serve in construction projects or in the military. The policy by which conscription is mandated is to be decided by each individual district.

* No government of any district may hold a citizen of another district in involuntary or unpaid servitude during times of peace.
** Amended 1900: No government or individual of any district may hold another citizen of any constituent district or territory in involuntary or unpaid servitude during times of peace.
** Amended 2009: No government or individual of any district may hold a person, native or foreign, in involuntary or unpaid servitude during times of peace.
** Amended 2012: No government or individual of any district may hold a person, native or foreign, in involuntary or unpaid servitude unless said person is an active participant in an invasion or insurrection.

* Taxation is applied at the district level and at the state level. Districts may decide their own tax rates. State taxes are set at 5% of funds acquired by the districts from their respective taxation policies.
** Amended 1891: State taxes are set by the Kxarkuv and the Akuv.
** Amended 1951: State taxes are set by an annual joint assembly of the Council of Mayors and the Council of Judges.
** Amended 1974: During times of crisis, the Council of Mayors and Council of Judges may reconvene at the behest of the Kxarkuv to announce emergency one-time taxation.

* Any element of policy not specified in this document is under the jurisdiction of the individual district.

== Context ==
El Fwonk Casanosia War of Independence: 1836 - 1847. Declaration of Independence (Bombing of the Tablets): 1845. Furvenli is Akuv until his death in 1846. Cato takes over in 1846, ruling until 1852. In 1848, the first constitution is drafted, the Charter of Confederation.

Definitions:

* The El (*Ezlem*) - The homeland, as in, the body of territories that comprise the El Fwonk Casanosia
* Nation (*Etau*) - A city-state, as in, any body of territory with a single center of power
* El Fwonk Casanosia (*Ezle Fwonk K’sleinozlja*) - The country formed by the union of the nations of The El
* State - the federal government of the El Fwonk Casanosia
* District - the legal territory of a given city-state
* Judicial Region - one of three collections of Districts wherein a Council of Judges operates
* Militia - the armed forces of any given Nation/District
* The Peninsular Army - the national army
* Kxarkuv - a single leader chosen by each of the Districts to make decisions that impact multiple judicial regions and lead initiatives in times of duress
* Akuv - the highest ranking general in the EFC, and, in effect, the leader of the armed forces, selected by each new Kxarkuv from the existing slate of Akivo (generals)
* Akib - a general in the Peninsular Army, inferior in rank only to the Akuv and the Kxarkuv
* Council of Mayors - a council consisting of the leaders of each district, which convenes to vote on matters of national importance
* Council of Judges - any of three groups of Judges of the Judicial Regions, one from each constituent District, who decide on cases that affect the districts of their respective regions by simple majority

== Applications and Dissolutions ==
The Charter was put into effect in 1847AR, lasted in continuous use until the temporary dissolution of the state at the end of the [[Nashan War]] in early 2010.

It was then put back into effect very briefly before being temporarily dissolved again during the [[Xomil War]] later the same year.

It was then, again, brought back into effect from the beginning of 2011 until the outbreak of the [[El Fwonk Casanosia Civil War]] in 2012 and subsequent [[2013 Ick Epidemic]].

From 2013 until 2021, there was no united federal government unifying the peninsula, though many of the Districts were re-established during the occupation of [[Sardiki Alka]] as the [[War of the Continent]] reached its peak.

In 2021, led by Akuv [[Trnja Trnix]], the Charter was yet again signed onto by all the Districts of the Peninsula, with the deal that [[Arodjunzlja]] be split into [[Sotrval]] and [[Sarbisi]]. After this, the Charter was only nominally in effect to promote to the world the idea that the Peninsula had reunified. It didn't come back into true effect until 2031 with the official incorporation of [[Brix Arodjunzlja]] (New Arojaunza).

As of 2067AR, the Charter has been in place with very little modification at a national level.

== Applications and Dissolutions ==
The Charter was put into effect in 1847AR, lasted in continuous use until the temporary dissolution of the state at the end of the [[Nashan War]] in early 2010.

It was then put back into effect very briefly before being temporarily dissolved again during the [[Xomil War]] later the same year.

It was then, again, brought back into effect from the beginning of 2011 until the outbreak of the [[El Fwonk Casanosia Civil War) in 2012 and subsequent [[2013 Ick Epidemic]].

From 2013 until 2021, there was no united federal government unifying the peninsula, though many of the Districts were re-established during the occupation of [[Sardiki Alka]] as the [[War of the Continent]] reached its peak.

In 2021, led by Akuv [[Trnja Trnix]], the Charter was yet again signed onto by all the Districts of the Peninsula, with the deal that [[Arodjunzlja]] be split into [[Sotrval]] and [[Sarbisi]]. After this, the Charter was only nominally in effect to promote to the world the idea that the Peninsula had reunified. It didn't come back into true effect until 2031 with the official incorporation of [[Brix Arodjunzlja]] (New Arojaunza).

As of 2067AR, the Charter has been in place with very little modification at a national level.

Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia

2026-09-18T19:52:55Z

King Horror:

The Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia (Arodjun:) is the foundational legal document that unifies the polities of the [[Fwonnel Peninsula]] as the country of [[El Fwonk Casanosia]].

First written in the late 1840s AR by [[Cato]], [[Vara]], and many other future holders of the title of [[Kxarkuv of El Fwonk Casanosia]], it locked in the “tribes” of the peninsula in a legal and political union with a set of common laws.

The scope of the Charter has been altered and expanded several times over the years, and dissolved on multiple occasions, especially leading up to and during the [[War of the Continent]]. However, it is considered the core document that legitimizes the existence of a unified state across the Fwonnel Peninsula.

== Text (in English) ==
The following is the English translation of the full text of the Charter:

* The El Fwonk Casanosia is a sovereign and independent governing body that shall not be subservient to any foreign governing body, consisting of the entirety of the El. The El consists of any continuous territory west of the easternmost edge of the Great Geyser Lake. These territories include the nations formerly controlled by the government of the Colonial Governors of the Permechikan Empire, these being the nations Fwonn, Supukojoon, Zlusi, Pakoja, Irkun, Sojarun, Reuxazluslja, Arodjaunzlja, Sizarun, Zleutazuma, Kraker, Zleu, Kraikojoon, Dedun, and Maxintun.
** Amended in 1854: Dedun is no longer included, as it has been ceded by the Permechikan Empire.
** Amended in 1879: These nations now include Zessis, Zkinxop, and Frufi.

* The El Fwonk Casanosia is a union of nations and peoples that must cooperate in times of war against foreign entities and in times of peace for the common trade of goods, transit of people, and transformation of the land.
* Amended in 1859: Militias of each district must contribute personnel and resources to a standing Peninsular Army that serves the government of the El as a whole, and this contribution must be set at 45% of that which is available in each district.
** Amended in 1891: Militias of each district are, by nature, divisions of the Peninsular Army and their soldiers and commanders must obey the orders of their superiors in the Peninsular Army should their services be required.

* The boundaries of each nation are henceforth the boundaries of the districts of the confederation. Should more nations wish to join the confederation, they may do so with the approval of two thirds of the existing districts.
** Amended in 1861: The boundary of the district is defined by the halfway point of waterways that separate one from another or by the peaks of mountains that separate one from another, or by lines specified by markers placed by the confederate government, as of the 6th of Dakum, 1861.

* Each district has the right to govern itself in whatever way it sees fit, so long as it does not interfere with the process of national elections, taxation, terraforming, transit, trade, and linguistic interaction.
** Amended in 1849: The leader of each district joins together as a legislative body known as the Council of Mayors. The Council of Mayors shall convene whenever requested by the Kxarkuv to legislate matters of national importance.

** Amended 1859: Any person or government in active rebellion is no longer entitled to the rights of a citizen of their native district or of the El Fwonk Casanosia. Any rebellious person or government must swear loyalty to the El Fwonk Casanosia in front of a judge to be granted the rights of a citizen.
** Amended 1860: Any citizen is liable to serve in construction projects or in the military. The policy by which conscription is mandated is to be decided by each individual district.

El Fwonk Casanosia

2026-09-18T19:36:30Z

King Horror:

El Fwonk Casanosia (Arodjun: ''Ezle Fwonk K'sleinozlja'') refers to the state, or collection of states, that occupy the territory of the [[Fwonnel Peninsula]], as considered by Arodjun-speaking pups, since the region's independence from the [[Permechikan Empire]] in 1845 AR.

Since its initial independence, El Fwonk Casanosia has existed in multiple forms and been formally or informally dissolved during times of crisis or foreign occupation several times. See [[Timeline of the Fwonnel Peninsula]] for a simple visualized breakdown. The majority of the time after 1845, however, the nation has been at least nominally unified by the [[Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia]], a foundational legal document.
[[File:Fwonnelmap.png|thumb|The Fwonnel Peninsula, home of the majority of El Fwonk Casanosia’s traditional territory.]]

The exact borders of what constitutes “El Fwonk Casanosia” have also changed may times, especially its eastern bounds. The Permechikan Desert makes for a difficult boundary to define, despite several attempts to do so, including walls and military garrisons.

== Ecology and Geography ==
(see [[Fwonnel Peninsula]] for more details)

The majority of El Fwonk Casanosia is located on the Fwonnel Peninsula, which has very rugged terrain, ranging from hilly to sharply mountainous. The ecosystem is overall subtropical, with some areas being wetland, others being monsoonal desert, and others being alpine forest.

The ecology of El Fwonk Casanosia is entirely dependent on the water that comes from the [[Great Geyser Lake]], an enormous series of springs located along the [[Irkun Fault]] that create the [[Prins River]] and its tributaries.

A series of large lakes and streams exist throughout the peninsula, most of which lead to the [[Death Canyon River]] and [[Death Canyon Delta]] at the northwest corner of the [[Froof Straits]]. Most of the lakes and rivers were not natural - they were dammed up, dug, and dredged by countless generations of [[Pups]] going back thousands of years. The most recent significant change to the map of El Fwonk Casanosia was the 1836 AR Flattening of [[Mount Supuksis]] by the Permechikan Empire, linking together the islands of [[Fwonn]] and Fishtail.

== Political Geography ==

''(See [[List of Locations in El Fwonk Casanosia]] for a full list of settlements in El Fwonk Casanosia)''

Populations of Pups can be found throughout the country. Each settlement has its own government, often with radically different local structures. Many times there are clusters of towns with defined centers of economic activity that organize themselves into ''feunawa'', often anglicized as "Counties."

These counties and independent towns and cities are organized geographically into ''k'ix'' (Districts), each of which are subsumed into one of three Judicial Regions.

=== District Governments ===
[[File:Districts, 1879-2031.png|thumb|Districts of El Fwonk Casanosia, 1879-2031]]
There are three Judicial Regions and 18 total Districts. Every District has its own government style, and often one is wildly different from the other in terms of economic style, freedoms, and democracy.

== History ==
(see [[Timeline of the Fwonnel Peninsula]] for a breakdown of the history of the peninsula beyond simply the country of El Fwonk Casanosia)

The origins of the nation of [[El Fwonk Casanosia]] can be largely traced to the events leading up to the [[War of the Pearl]] and subsequent conquest by the [[Permechikan Empire]].

=== War of the Pearl and the Consolidation of Modern Cultural Identities (early 1500s - 1565) ===
(write War of the Pearl section)

=== Span Dynasty Period (1565-1699)===
The Permechikan Conquest was largely complete by 1565. The ruling [[Span Dynasty]] at the time had no interest in affecting the culture of the subjugated peoples. The Span ruling class largely saw themselves as a restoration of the [[Prins Empire]] from two centuries before, and as such they promoted Prins-style economic practices, gave special social benefits to subjects of Prins heritage, and preserved the use of Base-10 numerals in practical life. Other than this, the citizens of the new Province of [[Fwunúrucun]] were allowed to speak [[Early Modern Arodjun]], [[Early Modern Irkun]], [[Loutzuman]], [[Frufi]], or [[Kleonid]] without issue. Their cultures were not heavily impacted as long as their practices didn’t question or interfere with the authority of the [[Thúr of Fwunúrucun]] (anglicized as “Viceroy”, or described using the [[Imperial Prins]] term *baven*).

The biggest changes to daily life were economic activities, including the mass exploitation and export of natural resources to the rest of the empire. The old Prins currency, the [[Filinren]], or “Prins Palm,” was replaced with the [[Búquful]], the “Prins Imperial Ball.” Ports were secured with new military fortresses and heavily expanded for the increased exporting to the rest of the empire.

=== N7ll7th Dynasty and Growing Unrest (1699-1820) ===

The Span Dynasty came to an end after Permechikan nationalists overthrew the Span government in [[Pemex]] and drew the support of many of the northern military legions. [[Nú7ll7th]] became the new emperor in 1699 and Fwunúrucun was placed under the leadership of Thúr [[Kultú8llus18]]. The leadership style changed significantly, and the daily life of the citizens of Fwunúrucun was placed under much heavier scrutiny.

A new official brand of the [[Bez]] religion was established that stripped religious authority from local leaders or the successors to the [[Ark Dynasty]] of Fwonnel Bezubuv, shifting the right to terraform to the Thúr. New Brueaucratic Government “Capacity Tests” were introduced, which made proficiency in the [[Permechikan]] language a requirement to reach higher levels in government-controlled businesses and offices. Licenses were required for native-owned vessels to sail in and out of Imperial-controlled ports, which required heavy fees to maintain. New taxes were also implemented on goods purchased in the Fwonnel Peninsula, even if they were purchased by local businesses for sale. All of this, and many other acts of restriction on the public, led to growing resistance, both public and private.

By the late 1700s, pre-Permechikan nationalism became popular amongst the cultural groups of the Peninsula. Arojaunzans became the first to actively rebel. Pejoratively named “Casanosians” (from [[Arodjun]] ''K’sleinozlja'' “land of the people with foreign ideas”), various bands refused to acknowledge Permechikan authority. Soon enough, they were engaged in gun and melee battles with Permechikan soldiers and police.

Rebellious fervor permeated the Peninsula, though most anti-government action was in secret, or done via committing tax fraud, forgery, or other acts of economic subversion. This is the context in which two of the founding Fathers of El Fwonk Casanosia were raised, [[Cato]] and [[Vara]]. Both were born in a town near the northeast dhore of [[Roox Lake]] and at a young age moved to the city of [[Dedun]], which, while not geographically a part of the Fwonnel Peninsula or even historically a part of any of the Peninsular societies, was a hotbed for underground revolutionary activities.

=== The El Fwonk Revolution (1820-1847) ===
(see [[El Fwonk Revolution]] for more information)

== Government ==
The government of El Fwonk Casanosia has evolved over time, but at its core it is apt to call it a sort of Confederation. The Anglicized phrase “Karkuvate” is often used, as the country elects a Karkuv, or “President,” as the head of state and government. However, each district is permitted to have its own form of government which is allowed to do whatever it wants as long as it adheres to the [[Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia]]. This has facilitated the rise in power and status of the judges that determine laws at the local, district, and federal level. Because of this, especially after the [[War of the Continent]], the government could be aptly described as a Juristocracy, or a Juristocratic Confederation. In [[Arodjun]], this is called ''Ninnuvex'', “the state of rule by judges.”

There are 18 Districts (Arodjun: ''feunawa''), each with their own governments. The districts each have their own courts consisting of an odd number of judges (Arodjun: ''twaxino''). One high judge (Arodjun: ''ninnuv'') from each District participates in one of three Councils of Judges, or “Judicial Regions” to settle inter-district legal conflicts that may not affect the entire nation. The judges from each of the three Councils then convenes at the National Court to settle nationwide legal matters, with the Karkuv and Akuv joining the case to contribute to decisions.

The biggest changes to daily life were economic activities, including the mass exploitation and export of natural resources to the rest of the empire. The old Prins currency, the [[Filinren]], or “Prins Palm,” was replaced with the [[Búquful]], the “Prins Imperial Ball.” Ports were secured with new military fortresses and heavily expanded for the increased exporting to the rest of the empire.

=== N7ll7th Dynasty and Growing Unrest (1699-1820) ===

The Span Dynasty came to an end after Permechikan nationalists overthrew the Span government in [[Pemex]] and drew the support of many of the northern military legions. [[Nú7ll7th]] became the new emperor in 1699 and Fwunúrucun was placed under the leadership of Thúr [[Kultú8llus18]]. The leadership style changed significantly, and the daily life of the citizens of Fwunúrucun was placed under much heavier scrutiny.

A new official brand of the [[Bez]] religion was established that stripped religious authority from local leaders or the successors to the [[Ark Dynasty]] of Fwonnel Bezubuv, shifting the right to terraform to the Thúr. New Brueaucratic Government “Capacity Tests” were introduced, which made proficiency in the [[Permechikan]] language a requirement to reach higher levels in government-controlled businesses and offices. Licenses were required for native-owned vessels to sail in and out of Imperial-controlled ports, which required heavy fees to maintain. New taxes were also implemented on goods purchased in the Fwonnel Peninsula, even if they were purchased by local businesses for sale. All of this, and many other acts of restriction on the public, led to growing resistance, both public and private.

By the late 1700s, pre-Permechikan nationalism became popular amongst the cultural groups of the Peninsula. Arojaunzans became the first to actively rebel. Pejoratively named “Casanosians” (from [[Arodjun]] ''K’sleinozlja'' “land of the people with foreign ideas”), various bands refused to acknowledge Permechikan authority. Soon enough, they were engaged in gun and melee battles with Permechikan soldiers and police.

Rebellious fervor permeated the Peninsula, though most anti-government action was in secret, or done via committing tax fraud, forgery, or other acts of economic subversion. This is the context in which two of the founding Fathers of El Fwonk Casanosia were raised, [[Cato]] and [[Vara]]. Both were born in a town near the northeast dhore of [[Roox Lake]] and at a young age moved to the city of [[Dedun]], which, while not geographically a part of the Fwonnel Peninsula or even historically a part of any of the Peninsular societies, was a hotbed for underground revolutionary activities.

(see [[El Fwonk Revolution]] for more information)

== Government ==
The government of El Fwonk Casanosia has evolved over time, but at its core it is apt to call it a sort of Confederation. The Anglicized phrase “Karkuvate” is often used, as the country elects a Karkuv, or “President,” as the head of state and government. However, each district is permitted to have its own form of government which is allowed to do whatever it wants as long as it adheres to the [[Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia]]. This has facilitated the rise in power and status of the judges that determine laws at the local, district, and federal level. Because of this, especially after the [[War of the Continent]], the government could be aptly described as a Juristocracy, or a Juristocratic Confederation. In [[Arodjun]], this is called ''Ninnuvex'', “the state of rule by judges.”

There are 18 Districts (Arodjun: ''feunawa''), each with their own governments. The districts each have their own courts consisting of an odd number of judges (Arodjun: ''twaxino''). One high judge (Arodjun: ''ninnuv'') from each District participates in one of three Councils of Judges, or “Judicial Regions” to settle inter-district legal conflicts that may not affect the entire nation. The judges from each of the three Councils then convenes at the National Court to settle nationwide legal matters, with the Karkuv and Akuv joining the case to contribute to decisions.

El Fwonk Casanosia

2026-09-18T19:20:51Z

King Horror: /* Second Council Region */

El Fwonk Casanosia (Arodjun: ''Ezle Fwonk K'sleinozlja'') refers to the state, or collection of states, that occupy the territory of the [[Fwonnel Peninsula]], as considered by Arodjun-speaking pups, since the region's independence from the [[Permechikan Empire]] in 1845 AR.

Since its initial independence, El Fwonk Casanosia has existed in multiple forms and been formally or informally dissolved during times of crisis or foreign occupation several times. See [[Timeline of the Fwonnel Peninsula]] for a simple visualized breakdown. The majority of the time after 1845, however, the nation has been at least nominally unified by the [[Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia]], a foundational legal document.
[[File:Fwonnelmap.png|thumb|The Fwonnel Peninsula, home of the majority of El Fwonk Casanosia’s traditional territory.]]

The exact borders of what constitutes “El Fwonk Casanosia” have also changed may times, especially its eastern bounds. The Permechikan Desert makes for a difficult boundary to define, despite several attempts to do so, including walls and military garrisons.

== Ecology and Geography ==
(see [[Fwonnel Peninsula]] for more details)

The majority of El Fwonk Casanosia is located on the Fwonnel Peninsula, which has very rugged terrain, ranging from hilly to sharply mountainous. The ecosystem is overall subtropical, with some areas being wetland, others being monsoonal desert, and others being alpine forest.

The ecology of El Fwonk Casanosia is entirely dependent on the water that comes from the [[Great Geyser Lake]], an enormous series of springs located along the [[Irkun Fault]] that create the [[Prins River]] and its tributaries.

A series of large lakes and streams exist throughout the peninsula, most of which lead to the [[Death Canyon River]] and [[Death Canyon Delta]] at the northwest corner of the [[Froof Straits]]. Most of the lakes and rivers were not natural - they were dammed up, dug, and dredged by countless generations of [[Pups]] going back thousands of years. The most recent significant change to the map of El Fwonk Casanosia was the 1836 AR Flattening of [[Mount Supuksis]] by the Permechikan Empire, linking together the islands of [[Fwonn]] and Fishtail.

== History ==
(see [[Timeline of the Fwonnel Peninsula]] for a breakdown of the history of the peninsula beyond simply the country of El Fwonk Casanosia)

The origins of the nation of [[El Fwonk Casanosia]] can be largely traced to the events leading up to the [[War of the Pearl]] and subsequent conquest by the [[Permechikan Empire]].

=== War of the Pearl and the Consolidation of Modern Cultural Identities (early 1500s - 1565) ===
(write War of the Pearl section)

=== Span Dynasty Period (1565-1699)===
The Permechikan Conquest was largely complete by 1565. The ruling [[Span Dynasty]] at the time had no interest in affecting the culture of the subjugated peoples. The Span ruling class largely saw themselves as a restoration of the [[Prins Empire]] from two centuries before, and as such they promoted Prins-style economic practices, gave special social benefits to subjects of Prins heritage, and preserved the use of Base-10 numerals in practical life. Other than this, the citizens of the new Province of [[Fwunúrucun]] were allowed to speak [[Early Modern Arodjun]], [[Early Modern Irkun]], [[Loutzuman]], [[Frufi]], or [[Kleonid]] without issue. Their cultures were not heavily impacted as long as their practices didn’t question or interfere with the authority of the [[Thúr of Fwunúrucun]] (anglicized as “Viceroy”, or described using the [[Imperial Prins]] term *baven*).

Other than this, the citizens of the new Province of [[Fwunúrucun]] were allowed to speak [[Early Modern Arodjun]], [[Early Modern Irkun]], [[Loutzuman]], [[Frufi]], or [[Kleonid]] without issue. Their cultures were not heavily impacted as long as their practices didn’t question or interfere with the authority of the [[Thúr of Fwunúrucun]] (anglicized as “Viceroy”, or described using the [[Imperial Prins]] term *baven*).

The biggest changes to daily life were economic activities, including the mass exploitation and export of natural resources to the rest of the empire. The old Prins currency, the [[Filinren]], or “Prins Palm,” was replaced with the [[Búquful]], the “Prins Imperial Ball.” Ports were secured with new military fortresses and heavily expanded for the increased exporting to the rest of the empire.

=== N7ll7th Dynasty and Growing Unrest (1699-1820) ===

The Span Dynasty came to an end after Permechikan nationalists overthrew the Span government in [[Pemex]] and drew the support of many of the northern military legions. [[Nú7ll7th]] became the new emperor in 1699 and Fwunúrucun was placed under the leadership of Thúr [[Kultú8llus18]]. The leadership style changed significantly, and the daily life of the citizens of Fwunúrucun was placed under much heavier scrutiny.

A new official brand of the [[Bez]] religion was established that stripped religious authority from local leaders or the successors to the [[Ark Dynasty]] of Fwonnel Bezubuv, shifting the right to terraform to the Thúr. New Brueaucratic Government “Capacity Tests” were introduced, which made proficiency in the [[Permechikan]] language a requirement to reach higher levels in government-controlled businesses and offices. Licenses were required for native-owned vessels to sail in and out of Imperial-controlled ports, which required heavy fees to maintain. New taxes were also implemented on goods purchased in the Fwonnel Peninsula, even if they were purchased by local businesses for sale. All of this, and many other acts of restriction on the public, led to growing resistance, both public and private.

By the late 1700s, pre-Permechikan nationalism became popular amongst the cultural groups of the Peninsula. Arojaunzans became the first to actively rebel. Pejoratively named “Casanosians” (from [[Arodjun]] ''K’sleinozlja'' “land of the people with foreign ideas”), various bands refused to acknowledge Permechikan authority. Soon enough, they were engaged in gun and melee battles with Permechikan soldiers and police.

Rebellious fervor permeated the Peninsula, though most anti-government action was in secret, or done via committing tax fraud, forgery, or other acts of economic subversion. This is the context in which two of the founding Fathers of El Fwonk Casanosia were raised, [[Cato]] and [[Vara]]. Both were born in a town near the northeast dhore of [[Roox Lake]] and at a young age moved to the city of [[Dedun]], which, while not geographically a part of the Fwonnel Peninsula or even historically a part of any of the Peninsular societies, was a hotbed for underground revolutionary activities.

(see [[El Fwonk Revolution]] for more information)

== Government ==
The government of El Fwonk Casanosia has evolved over time, but at its core it is apt to call it a sort of Confederation. The Anglicized phrase “Karkuvate” is often used, as the country elects a Karkuv, or “President,” as the head of state and government. However, each district is permitted to have its own form of government which is allowed to do whatever it wants as long as it adheres to the [[Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia]]. This has facilitated the rise in power and status of the judges that determine laws at the local, district, and federal level. Because of this, especially after the [[War of the Continent]], the government could be aptly described as a Juristocracy, or a Juristocratic Confederation. In [[Arodjun]], this is called ''Ninnuvex'', “the state of rule by judges.”

There are 18 Districts (Arodjun: ''feunawa''), each with their own governments. The districts each have their own courts consisting of an odd number of judges (Arodjun: ''twaxino''). One high judge (Arodjun: ''ninnuv'') from each District participates in one of three Councils of Judges, or “Judicial Regions” to settle inter-district legal conflicts that may not affect the entire nation. The judges from each of the three Councils then convenes at the National Court to settle nationwide legal matters, with the Karkuv and Akuv joining the case to contribute to decisions.

El Fwonk Casanosia

2026-08-24T19:25:16Z

King Horror: /* Third Council Region */

El Fwonk Casanosia (Arodjun: ''Ezle Fwonk K'sleinozlja'') refers to the state, or collection of states, that occupy the territory of the [[Fwonnel Peninsula]], as considered by Arodjun-speaking pups, since the region's independence from the [[Permechikan Empire]] in 1845 AR.

Since its initial independence, El Fwonk Casanosia has existed in multiple forms and been formally or informally dissolved during times of crisis or foreign occupation several times. See [[Timeline of the Fwonnel Peninsula]] for a simple visualized breakdown. The majority of the time after 1845, however, the nation has been at least nominally unified by the [[Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia]], a foundational legal document.
[[File:Fwonnelmap.png|thumb|The Fwonnel Peninsula, home of the majority of El Fwonk Casanosia’s traditional territory.]]

The exact borders of what constitutes “El Fwonk Casanosia” have also changed may times, especially its eastern bounds. The Permechikan Desert makes for a difficult boundary to define, despite several attempts to do so, including walls and military garrisons.

== Ecology and Geography ==
(see [[Fwonnel Peninsula]] for more details)

The majority of El Fwonk Casanosia is located on the Fwonnel Peninsula, which has very rugged terrain, ranging from hilly to sharply mountainous. The ecosystem is overall subtropical, with some areas being wetland, others being monsoonal desert, and others being alpine forest.

The ecology of El Fwonk Casanosia is entirely dependent on the water that comes from the [[Great Geyser Lake]], an enormous series of springs located along the [[Irkun Fault]] that create the [[Prins River]] and its tributaries.

A series of large lakes and streams exist throughout the peninsula, most of which lead to the [[Death Canyon River]] and [[Death Canyon Delta]] at the northwest corner of the [[Froof Straits]]. Most of the lakes and rivers were not natural - they were dammed up, dug, and dredged by countless generations of [[Pups]] going back thousands of years. The most recent significant change to the map of El Fwonk Casanosia was the 1836 AR Flattening of [[Mount Supuksis]] by the Permechikan Empire, linking together the islands of [[Fwonn]] and Fishtail.

== History ==
(see [[Timeline of the Fwonnel Peninsula]] for a breakdown of the history of the peninsula beyond simply the country of El Fwonk Casanosia)

The origins of the nation of [[El Fwonk Casanosia]] can be largely traced to the events leading up to the [[War of the Pearl]] and subsequent conquest by the [[Permechikan Empire]].

=== War of the Pearl and the Consolidation of Modern Cultural Identities (early 1500s - 1565) ===
(write War of the Pearl section)

=== Span Dynasty Period (1565-1699)===
The Permechikan Conquest was largely complete by 1565. The ruling [[Span Dynasty]] at the time had no interest in affecting the culture of the subjugated peoples. The Span ruling class largely saw themselves as a restoration of the [[Prins Empire]] from two centuries before, and as such they promoted Prins-style economic practices, gave special social benefits to subjects of Prins heritage, and preserved the use of Base-10 numerals in practical life. Other than this, the citizens of the new Province of [[Fwunúrucun]] were allowed to speak [[Early Modern Arodjun]], [[Early Modern Irkun]], [[Loutzuman]], [[Frufi]], or [[Kleonid]] without issue. Their cultures were not heavily impacted as long as their practices didn’t question or interfere with the authority of the [[Thúr of Fwunúrucun]] (anglicized as “Viceroy”, or described using the [[Imperial Prins]] term *baven*).

The biggest changes to daily life were economic activities, including the mass exploitation and export of natural resources to the rest of the empire. The old Prins currency, the [[Filinren]], or “Prins Palm,” was replaced with the [[Búquful]], the “Prins Imperial Ball.” Ports were secured with new military fortresses and heavily expanded for the increased exporting to the rest of the empire.

=== N7ll7th Dynasty and Growing Unrest (1699-1820) ===

The Span Dynasty came to an end after Permechikan nationalists overthrew the Span government in [[Pemex]] and drew the support of many of the northern military legions. [[Nú7ll7th]] became the new emperor in 1699 and Fwunúrucun was placed under the leadership of Thúr [[Kultú8llus18]]. The leadership style changed significantly, and the daily life of the citizens of Fwunúrucun was placed under much heavier scrutiny.

A new official brand of the [[Bez]] religion was established that stripped religious authority from local leaders or the successors to the [[Ark Dynasty]] of Fwonnel Bezubuv, shifting the right to terraform to the Thúr. New Brueaucratic Government “Capacity Tests” were introduced, which made proficiency in the [[Permechikan]] language a requirement to reach higher levels in government-controlled businesses and offices. Licenses were required for native-owned vessels to sail in and out of Imperial-controlled ports, which required heavy fees to maintain. New taxes were also implemented on goods purchased in the Fwonnel Peninsula, even if they were purchased by local businesses for sale. All of this, and many other acts of restriction on the public, led to growing resistance, both public and private.

By the late 1700s, pre-Permechikan nationalism became popular amongst the cultural groups of the Peninsula. Arojaunzans became the first to actively rebel. Pejoratively named “Casanosians” (from [[Arodjun]] ''K’sleinozlja'' “land of the people with foreign ideas”), various bands refused to acknowledge Permechikan authority. Soon enough, they were engaged in gun and melee battles with Permechikan soldiers and police.

Rebellious fervor permeated the Peninsula, though most anti-government action was in secret, or done via committing tax fraud, forgery, or other acts of economic subversion. This is the context in which two of the founding Fathers of El Fwonk Casanosia were raised, [[Cato]] and [[Vara]]. Both were born in a town near the northeast dhore of [[Roox Lake]] and at a young age moved to the city of [[Dedun]], which, while not geographically a part of the Fwonnel Peninsula or even historically a part of any of the Peninsular societies, was a hotbed for underground revolutionary activities.

=== The El Fwonk Revolution (1820-1847) ===
(see [[El Fwonk Revolution]] for more information)

== Government ==
The government of El Fwonk Casanosia has evolved over time, but at its core it is apt to call it a sort of Confederation. The Anglicized phrase “Karkuvate” is often used, as the country elects a Karkuv, or “President,” as the head of state and government. However, each district is permitted to have its own form of government which is allowed to do whatever it wants as long as it adheres to the [[Charter of El Fwonk Casanosia]]. This has facilitated the rise in power and status of the judges that determine laws at the local, district, and federal level. Because of this, especially after the [[War of the Continent]], the government could be aptly described as a Juristocracy, or a Juristocratic Confederation. In [[Arodjun]], this is called ''Ninnuvex'', “the state of rule by judges.”

There are 18 Districts (Arodjun: ''feunawa''), each with their own governments. The districts each have their own courts consisting of an odd number of judges (Arodjun: ''twaxino''). One high judge (Arodjun: ''ninnuv'') from each District participates in one of three Councils of Judges, or “Judicial Regions” to settle inter-district legal conflicts that may not affect the entire nation. The judges from each of the three Councils then convenes at the National Court to settle nationwide legal matters, with the Karkuv and Akuv joining the case to contribute to decisions.

Bez

2026-07-31T20:26:30Z

King Horror: /* Rituals */

"Bez" can refer to multiple concepts:
* The predominant religion of the [[Fwonnel Peninsula]], [[Permechiko]], and [[Kleo]]
* The state of "ordered and maintained balance against entropy" sought by adherents to said religion

Bez as a religion has existed in one form or another since around the time of the arrival of Cahilan peoples in the west coast of Menaiceraum in approximately 1500 BR.

== Core Tenets ==
Though the specific beliefs, habits, and literature vary between the denominations, some of the core features of an adherent to Bez include:
* the belief in a collective mission of the species to alter their environment in a stable, sustainable fashion
* the belief that the [[Pups]] species is the current, and perhaps final, iteration of a cycle of appearance and extinction of "sentient species" given the chance to create a perfect world
* the belief that the force of life itself is order (''dmanib'') trying to sustain itself against entropy (''xororx''), and that order is innately the desired condition for the individual, the society, and the land
* the veneration, or fear, of [[Xororx]] (called "King Horror" in some English-language media), the amorphous god of Chaos and Entropy, who has chosen when to begin and end each cycle of life on Earth throughout its history
* the acknowledgement and praise of the continuity of organic matter in the ecosystem before, during, and after life (from which the Arodjun phrase ''ja k'a wa, jo k'o wo'' "I am, I was, I will be; it is, it was, it will be" originates)

== Deities and Mythological Elements ==

=== [[Xororx]] ===
All varieties of Bez feature the belief in a deity of chaos and entropy, Xororx. Depictions of Xororx range from malevolent to neutral toward Pups and their continued existence. It is referred using inanimate and gender-neutral terms in nearly all cases.
Many interpret destructive forces of nature such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, and droughts as "warnings" from Xororx. The more severe the natural disaster, the stronger of a vice the affected sentient life must have committed, potentially putting all life in the world at risk.

=== [[The Flattenings]] ===
To adherents of Bez, the world as it is known by Pups is simply its current version. The previous world-state featured [[Humans]] as its sentient species, but they were killed and all the "texture" of the world was flattened after their failure to reach or maintain Bez. Xororx dragged its hand over the Earth and smoothed the world, crushing all mountains and filling all valleys. Xororx then allowed the buried essence of life to bubble to the surface with immense energy, creating a fresh set of mountains, rivers, and life.
Many consider the Flattening of the Humans to be not the first or second, but frequently the 5th or 6th time the surface of the Earth was "restarted" by Xororx.

=== Spirits and "Animations" ===
While not considered deities, there are various folkloric entities that exist in Bez mythology.
There are two main classes of these supernatural entities: called ''cirewa'' and ''cinrjawa'', often Anglicized as "spirits/sprites/naiads" and "animations."

'''Spirits/sprites/naiads (''[[Cirewa]]'')''' are animal-like beings that are found near sources of fresh water, considered to be new vessels of order that spring from lifegiving points in the world. Some are kind, others are mischievous and can even (very rarely) be outright evil. Many of them take the forms of various fish, reptiles, birds, and arachnids. For example, ''Kuna'' is a bird ''cireu'' that is interpreted to signify the longevity of the viability of a water source.

'''Animations (''[[Cinrjawa]]'')''' are beings composed of things other than animals; often rocks, plants, moss, mushrooms, or minerals. These are often given more negative traits, as they are seen as vessels of Xororx brought to life to damage things and cause chaos. For example, ''Duk'' is considered a rock ''cinrjau'' that causes landslides.

== Denominations ==
There are dozens of denominations and sects of Bez, many of which diverged from their Cahilan origins due to political differences, teachings of heretical messiahs, and geographical distance causing changes in practice over time. It's difficult to declare a definitive "original" Cahilan Bez religion, and in fact there may not have been one at all. It is very likely that the cultural mixing and diffusion of ideas and peoples during the Cahilan migrations led to philosophical mixing with the previous inhabitants and their faiths.

By 1500BR, there were several faiths described in writing throughout southern Menaiceraum that shared Bez-like traits. As these societies became more established, beliefs continued to mix, but eventually clash, coinciding with political power conflicts. The first time a unified authority held dominion over the majority of Bez adherents was the Fwonnel [[Bezuv]] during the [[First Fwonnel Empire]] (740-100BR). By 500BR, even regions not outright conquered by the empire considered the Bezuv to be the leader of their faith. This continued after the fall of the first Empire, subsequent [[Delsh Akuvate]] rule, and rise of the [[Second Fwonnel Empire]] by 150AR. However, a notable early branch from this Imperial Fwonnel Bez formed during the reign of the First Empire's last Bezuv, [[Neruzin Zani]] - the [[Zani Death Cult]].

During the periods of the Second Fwonnel Empire and the unification of [[Dedun]] and [[Kaxila]] into what is now called [[Permechiko]], the world was rapidly changing. [[The Rediscovery]] of human technology had spread from northeastern Menaiceraum to every corner of the Pup-inhabited world and the major civilizations of the southern and western parts of the continent began to have major philosophical divisions on top of the political ones.
(TBC)
A chart of the geneaology of the sects of Bez can be approximated as the following:
* [[Ancient Cahilan Mythology]] (~3000 - ~1500BR)
** [[Ancient Kleo Bez]]
** [[Ancient Dedun Bez]]
** [[Ancient Kaxila Bez]]
** [[Ancient Arodjun Bez]]
** [[Ancient Fwonnel Bez]] (~1500BR - ~1000BR)
*** [[Imperial Fwonnel Bez]] (~1250BR - ~900AR)
**** [[Zani Death Cult]] (~120BR-present)
***** [[Temple of Bez]] (~300AR-2011AR)
**** [[Quartz Bez]] (Reuxalusia, Kraker, Pakoya, Fwonn)
**** [[Water Bez]] (Arojaunza, Cahilan Tribes)
**** [[Wood Bez]] (Frufi, Zessis, Kleo)
**** [[Pemex Bez]] (Permechiko, ???-???)
**** [[Old Bez]] (Irkun, Delsh, Zhon ~100AR-present)

== Rituals ==
In most sects of Bez, there are no permanent "churches" or "temples." Exceptions to this include groups such as the [[Temple of Bez]], the [[Zani Death Cult]], and [[Quartz Bez]]. Instead, most Bez groups gather at spiritual sites in the open-air, with designs, shrines, and relics composed of mostly of organic materials that need to be regularly maintained. The maintenance of these shrines is often purposefully rigorous, representing the struggle of maintaining the order of life over natural chaos.

== Cultural Signifiers ==
From architecture to design patterns and symbols, Bez can be spotted visually in southern [[Menaiceraum]] cultures in myriad ways.

=== Architecture ===
While most sects of Bez do not have permanent dedicated worship centers, Bez religious tenets are frequently incorporated into vital urban infrastructure in several ways.

==== Entropic Waterways ====
==== Airflow Design ====
==== Domes and "Ant Design" ====
==== Temples of Radical Sects ====

=== Patterns ===
Clothing, walls, roads, and other items are often covered with patterns and designs that are intended to represent tenets of Bez.
The most common of these are simple bi-color zigzag patterns on clothing, the "ups and downs" representing the eb and flow of the tides, the temperature over the course of a year, the cycles of growth of decay of species populations, etc.

As these societies became more established, beliefs continued to mix, but eventually clash, coinciding with political power conflicts. The first time a unified authority held dominion over the majority of Bez adherents was the Fwonnel [[Bezuv]] during the [[First Fwonnel Empire]] (740-100BR). By 500BR, even regions not outright conquered by the empire considered the Bezuv to be the leader of their faith. This continued after the fall of the first Empire, subsequent [[Delsh Akuvate]] rule, and rise of the [[Second Fwonnel Empire]] by 150AR. However, a notable early branch from this Imperial Fwonnel Bez formed during the reign of the First Empire's last Bezuv, [[Neruzin Zani]] - the [[Zani Death Cult]].

During the periods of the Second Fwonnel Empire and the unification of [[Dedun]] and [[Kaxila]] into what is now called [[Permechiko]], the world was rapidly changing. [[The Rediscovery]] of human technology had spread from northeastern Menaiceraum to every corner of the Pup-inhabited world and the major civilizations of the southern and western parts of the continent began to have major philosophical divisions on top of the political ones.

Bez

2026-07-31T20:08:18Z

King Horror: /* Deities and Mythological Elements */

"Bez" can refer to multiple concepts:
* The predominant religion of the [[Fwonnel Peninsula]], [[Permechiko]], and [[Kleo]]
* The state of "ordered and maintained balance against entropy" sought by adherents to said religion

Bez as a religion has existed in one form or another since around the time of the arrival of Cahilan peoples in the west coast of Menaiceraum in approximately 1500 BR.

== Core Tenets ==
Though the specific beliefs, habits, and literature vary between the denominations, some of the core features of an adherent to Bez include:
* the belief in a collective mission of the species to alter their environment in a stable, sustainable fashion
* the belief that the [[Pups]] species is the current, and perhaps final, iteration of a cycle of appearance and extinction of "sentient species" given the chance to create a perfect world
* the belief that the force of life itself is order (dmanib) trying to sustain itself against entropy (xororx), and that order is innately the desired condition for the individual, the society, and the land
* the veneration, or fear, of [[Xororx]] (called "King Horror" in some English-language media), the amorphous god of Chaos and Entropy, who has chosen when to begin and end each cycle of life on Earth throughout its history
* the acknowledgement and praise of the continuity of organic matter in the ecosystem before, during, and after life (from which the Arodjun phrase ''ja k'a wa, jo k'o wo'' "I am, I was, I will be; it is, it was, it will be" originates)

== Deities and Mythological Elements ==

=== [[Xororx]] ===
All varieties of Bez feature the belief in a deity of chaos and entropy, Xororx. Depictions of Xororx range from malevolent to neutral toward Pups and their continued existence. It is referred using inanimate and gender-neutral terms in nearly all cases.
Many interpret destructive forces of nature such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, and droughts as "warnings" from Xororx. The more severe the natural disaster, the stronger of a vice the affected sentient life must have committed, potentially putting all life in the world at risk.

=== [[The Flattenings]] ===
To adherents of Bez, the world as it is known by Pups is simply its current version. The previous world-state featured [[Humans]] as its sentient species, but they were killed and all the "texture" of the world was flattened after their failure to reach or maintain Bez. Xororx dragged its hand over the Earth and smoothed the world, crushing all mountains and filling all valleys. Xororx then allowed the buried essence of life to bubble to the surface with immense energy, creating a fresh set of mountains, rivers, and life.
Many consider the Flattening of the Humans to be not the first or second, but frequently the 5th or 6th time the surface of the Earth was "restarted" by Xororx.

=== Spirits and "Animations" ===
While not considered deities, there are various folkloric entities that exist in Bez mythology.
There are two main classes of these supernatural entities: called ''cirewa'' and ''cinrjawa'', often Anglicized as "spirits/sprites/naiads" and "animations."

'''Spirits/sprites/naiads (''[[Cirewa]]'')''' are animal-like beings that are found near sources of fresh water, considered to be new vessels of order that spring from lifegiving points in the world. Some are kind, others are mischievous and can even (very rarely) be outright evil. Many of them take the forms of various fish, reptiles, birds, and arachnids. For example, ''Kuna'' is a bird ''cireu'' that is interpreted to signify the longevity of the viability of a water source.

'''Animations (''[[Cinrjawa]]'')''' are beings composed of things other than animals; often rocks, plants, moss, mushrooms, or minerals. These are often given more negative traits, as they are seen as vessels of Xororx brought to life to damage things and cause chaos. For example, ''Duk'' is considered a rock ''cinrjau'' that causes landslides.

== Denominations ==
There are dozens of denominations and sects of Bez, many of which diverged from their Cahilan origins due to political differences, teachings of heretical messiahs, and geographical distance causing changes in practice over time. It's difficult to declare a definitive "original" Cahilan Bez religion, and in fact there may not have been one at all. It is very likely that the cultural mixing and diffusion of ideas and peoples during the Cahilan migrations led to philosophical mixing with the previous inhabitants and their faiths.

By 1500BR, there were several faiths described in writing throughout southern Menaiceraum that shared Bez-like traits. As these societies became more established, beliefs continued to mix, but eventually clash, coinciding with political power conflicts. The first time a unified authority held dominion over the majority of Bez adherents was the Fwonnel [[Bezuv]] during the [[First Fwonnel Empire]] (740-100BR).

Djogawa Djororx (English: Dog Days, literally Entropic Days) is an ongoing webcomic by me, Robbie Cole. It takes place in [[El Fwonk Casanosia]] in 2067 AR, with a particular focus on the politics and issues in [[Sarbisi]], a city on the northern coast of the [[Fwonnel Peninsula]].

==Plot==

* Chapter 1:
** The entirety of Chapter 1 takes place on or around [[Zessis]]. It begins with [[Djaz Anori]] exploring the ruins of the [[Temple of Bez]] with his colleagues. The Temple had been destroyed in 2011 in the canonical parts of the events of [[EFC DnD: Season Two]].
** After Djaz’s encounter with the [[Sphinx Moth]], the scene cuts to [[Dountic]], “Bite Town.” [[Kira DeDoumo]], [[Zan DeDoumo]], and [[Tinit]]. They depart from the Dountic building for the [[Peninsular Naval Commission]], of which Kira is the [[Dmacin]], meaning she is among the second in command of the entire organization. Before they depart the port, Zan mentions the group’s intention on attending the annual [[Maritime Anti-Pirate Council]]. Instead, Zan and Tinit and up on an [[El Fwonk Navy]] ship through the [[Froof Straits]] on a course for the DeDoumo family home in [[Sarbisi]].
** Meanwhile, Kira has tracked down Djaz to a bar in a floating town on the southwesternmost corner of Zessis, presumably [[Kleodikum]].
** The final battle of Chapter 1 takes place after the [[Renegade Casanosians]], led by [[Brazim]], capture Zan and Tinit with the intent to ransom them, knowing of the DeDoumo family wealth and power. After the battle, the main characters continue their course to Sarbisi. Kira mentions that it’s been a long time since the Renegades had enough power to hijack even a single ship in the Froof Straits. Additionally, [[Ick]] falls, even though it’s the month of Pesjukex (basically January), when the Ick typically falls in Dakum (April-early May).

* Chapter 2:
** Chapter 2 begins with a day in late Pesjukex in the city of [[Sarbisi]]. Tinit takes Zan to school at the [[West Wall School]]. A camp of refugees from Zessis has accumulated in the city after the unexpected Ick fall. A [[Taxi Bug]] cart pulls in front of Zan and Tinit, pulling [[Ezli]], a [[Wolves|Wolf]], supposedly on a Zoo tour after being captured from the [[Unorganized Territory]]. She is held in a newly-constructed exhibit at the [[Sarbisi Zoo]].
** Zan can’t sleep, so he sneaks out of his home high in the tower of the Sarbisi Peninsular Naval Commission to try and sneak some [[Night Chicken]]. A refugee girl asks Zan for some Night Chicken, and Zan decides that he has enough to afford some after pulling out his tin of [[Zenn]], stating that a bucket of Night Chicken costs 40 Zenn and he can spare some, as he has at least 120 Zenn with him.
** The next day at school, there is a field trip to the Zoo to see the Wolf. Along the way, Zan’s classmate Mara mentions a Sarbisi City [[Judge]] who just became a [[District Judge]], and that 35% of El Fwonk [[Kxarkuv|Kxarkubuv]] were judges before being elected.
** When Zan joins Djaz in attempting to take Ezli out of the Zoo, he mentions that there may be some kind of [[Wolf Language]] and that Ezli may know the key to the [[Nucletoid]] stuck in his glove, and that this pertains to the Ick somehow. When the hooded figure attacks Djaz during his escape, he uses a [[Sound Cannon]] to temporarily deafen everyone nearby and even shatter some windows.
** That night, Zan still can’t sleep. He receives a book titled “How to Speak Wolf” from Djaz. Then, he visits his mother, Kira, in her room. She’s watching a documentary on the [[War of the Continent]] on her [[Television]]. The two have a tense conversation, where Kira proclaims that she thinks the Peninsula would have been better off if [[Sardiki Alka]] were able to remain in power in El Fwonk, as they quashed insurrection without hesitation.

* Chapter 3:
** Chapter 3 goes back in time by a week and shows that [[Brazim]] and his lieutenant survived the Ick-filled water. They wash up on a beach in southern Zessis, horribly mangled by Ick damage (Canonically this is the same beach where the group in [[EFC DnD: Season Two]] cut off Nashara’s head, preserve it, and put it on the exhaust of their boat).

Roox Migration is a series of crayon-drawn stories by [[Agma Schwa]] drawn between 2009 and 2010. They are bound in notebooks currently stored in the bookshelf seen in his YouTube set.

These stories recount the journey of [[Roxie]] as she moves from [[Rixia]] to [[Roox City]] and becomes the city's "Queen." In Roox Migration 2, Roxie and her friends battle against [[Prince Prins]], who has gained access to the powerful [[Fwonk Pearl]]. In Roox Migration 3, Prince Prins creates an army of [[Nucletoid]] beings that aim to reconquer [[Arojaunza]] for the defunct [[Prins Empire]].

A fourth Roox Migration story was created, but never finished. In this story, Roxie and her friends go to [[Vaethyr]] to confront [[Saber]], mimicking the arc of [[The Pup Heroes]] from a few years before.

The Pup Heroes is a series of three stories written by Agma Schwa in the summers of 2007 (Pup Heroes 1 and 2) and 2008 (Pup Heroes 3). These were handwritten on lined paper stapled into books upon completion. Pup Heroes 1 predated the creation of the El Fwonk [[Yard Model]] by about two months, while the others were written after construction of the Yard Model began.

These stories were heavily influenced by Bionicle, especially the Bionicle stories being releaed concurrently in 2007 and 2008. As such, Agma Schwa has referred to the origins of [[El Fwonk Casanosia]] and [[Arodjun]] as "Bionicle fanfiction."

The main characters are anthropomorphic dogs called [[Pups]], each named after and inspired by the dogs owned by the families of [[Agma Schwa]] and his friends. The main antagonist is an entity known as [[Saber]] and its army of [[Nucletoid]] beings.

King Horror:

Since the creation of the [[Yard Model]] in 2006, [[Agma Schwa]] has created numerous works of fiction and conlanging set in the ''In Pursuit of Bez'' world.

* [[The Pup Heroes]]: This was a series of three stories handwritten on lined paper by a 7-year-old Agma Schwa that anthropomorphized his dog [[Roxie]] and the dogs of his friends in an action story reminiscent of that of Bionicle. These were written in the summers of 2007 and 2008.
* [[Yard Model]]: The “El Fwonk Yard Model” was the original media through which Agma Schwa and his friends told the stories within this world. It existed from the summer of 2007 until June of 2014
* [[EFC Embassy]]: This is the archive of the original website where I kept my EFC info from age 10-13
* [[El Fwonk Revolution (Comic)]]: A comic I wrote in 2010 showing the story of [[Cato]] and [[Vara]] and the [[El Fwonk Casanosia Revolution]]
* [[Adventures in El Fwonk]]: A series of short, disconnected comics written between 2012 and 2014 that have some lore in them
* [[Roox Migration]]: A collection of four crayon-drawn stories showing [[Roxie]] and her departure from [[Rixia]] to [[Roox City]], drawn between 2009-10
* [[EFC DnD]]: refers to the series of RPG campaigns that take place within a (slightly) alternate universe to the comics and the rest of El Fwonk media, beginning with the diversion of timelines in Season One (see below)
** [[EFC DnD: Season One]]: A Dungeons & Dragons-based RPG campaign I hosted in early 2018, putting our player characters in the army of [[Nasha]] during the [[Nashan-Fwonnel War of 2011]] and their subsequent journey of espionage in relation to the [[Fwonk Pearl]].
** [[EFC DnD: Season Two]]: A (loosely) Dungeons & Dragons-based RPG campaign that I hosted in the summer of 2018, continuing the story from Season One. Our player characters explore the island of [[Zessis]] and eventually find the [[Temple of Bez]], where the group is joined by [[Tirnia Trnix]] and [[Prince Prins]] on a quest to either take control of, or destroy, the mantle of the [[Nucletoid]] Core purported to be the physical form of [[Xororx]] (King Horror).
** [[EFC DnD: Season Three]]: A (loosely) Dungeons & Dragons-based RPG campaign that I tried to host in late 2019, but the campaign fell apart due to scheduling complications. It began with our players portraying new characters in 2014, after the [[2013 Ick Epidemic]] destroyed much of the Fwonnel Peninsula’s civilization. They were part of a crew encharged with laying new power and telephone lines across bodies of water to re-establish communication with recently-resettled communities.
** [[EFC Red]]: A Cyberpunk Red-based RPG campaign I hosted in early 2024, putting our player characters in [[Sarbisi]] during the Charter Convention in 2022. The group begins on the private island of the perverted Widow of one of the members of the [[Roox City Business Council]]. After escaping the island, the group travels to Sarbisi, where the group meets a camp of displaced Arojaunzans. They meet [[Vetrini]] and Tirnia, who are on opposing sides of the debate over whether to adopt a new “Charter of Union” to re-establish [[El Fwonk Casanosia]]. They eventually find out that the Charter, while reforming EFC, would leave no designated territory for the Arojaunzans and ignite a plan by the Alkan-Prins population of Sarbisi to expel them. The story ends with the semi-canonical [[DeDoumo Square Massacre]].
* [[Djogawa Djororx]]: Also called “Dog Days” in English, this is the ongoing comic. Production began in 2021, and the first chapter was released at the end of 2022. This is the story of [[Zan DeDoumo]], the son of [[Djaz Anori]] and [[Kira DeDoumo]], amidst the era of political realignment taking place in 2067 AR, while the risk of an impending [[2067 Ick Epidemic]] looms.

== Ecology of the Fwonnel Peninsula, Permechiko, and the West Coast ==

''Adapted from multiple ecology notebooks. Any lifeforms not mentioned in these lists can be assumed to be similar to their present-day Earth equivalents.''

=== Plants ===
* Angiosperms
** Cacti
*** (Stenocereus) Ziren: These are one of multiple descendants of the dragon fruit. They create large, yellow-to-pink fruits that are a staple crop in Permechiko and drier parts of the Fwonnel Peninsula.
** Brome:
*** Giant Brome: These are the descendants of Red Brome, and are a staple grain across the Western Continent. The Giant Brome can grow up to eight feet tall. Their seeds are turned to flour, which becomes one of the largest source of grain for much of pup civilization.

** Baccharis:
*** Cucumber Leaf: These trees are descendants of the Desert Broom bush.

* Gymnosperms: (TBD)

=== Fungi ===

* Onygenales: These fungi often secrete enzymes that can break down keratin, and some can even dissolve the skin and flesh of animals. They are often much more strong and prevalent than during the present-day.

** Coccidioides

*** Valley Fever: Valley Fever is a species of fungus that is one of the most common causes of death in the deserts of the Western Continent. It develops as a mycelium under top soil, and its spores are released into the air when disrupted by dust storms or other means. It can accumulate and expand inside the lungs of mammals. If it gets into the bloodstream, the fungus can migrate to other regions of the body. Its growth and parasitism can be as tame as an extended period of lethargy, and at worst can lead to death.

**** The [[Ick]]: This is a descendant of Valley Fever that developed in a way that allows for extended suspension in the air until the beginning of April each year, when it rains from the sky. As it reaches critical mass to descend from the sky, it secretes digestive enzymes which convert the flesh of animals and plants that lack waxy bilayers into consumable nutrients. For every animal or plant digested by the Ick, millions of spores are released into the ecosystem to go dormant until the next year.

=== Animals ===

* Mammals: Mammals have, on average, shrank in size since the time of humans, with several exceptions. As insects, arachnids, and crustaceans grew in size, smaller and faster mammals were able to expand and diversify.

** Canids:

*** Pups: These are tall, bipedal descendants of dogs, especially hybrids of those that were formerly poodles, chihuahuas, dachshunds, huskies, retrievers, and pointers. Their rapid evolution and increase in intelligence is a subject of great debate, but there is no doubt that these are the dominant land species on the Earth.

*** Wolves: These are large, semi-bipedal descendants of dogs, especially huskies, german shepherds, and retrievers. They are larger than pups, often reaching seven feet in height while standing upright. They retain the strong paw tissue and claws that pups have mostly lost, allowing for quadrupedal movement along with short-term bipedal movement. They are mostly found in the northern interior of the continent.

*** Coyotes: This term refers to the descendants of both true coyotes and of Mexican grey wolves. They are quadrupedal and retain similar intelligence to their past selves.

*** Pika:
*** Rabbits:

** Scluridae:

*** Squirrels:

*** Marmots:

* Reptiles

** Snakes: Snakes during this era can be slightly larger than what is seen in the present day. The main difference is that of behavior. Snakes now often have social hierarchies and live in families that cluster in caves.

*** Sjanpipera: These are tan-to-brown snakes that descend from bull snakes. They live with several other snakes and demonstrate significant social cohesion. Typically they are found in the Krakerber Mountains and along the west coast of Permechiko.

* Birds: Many birds remain similar to their present-day counterparts, however the intelligence of grackles, ravens, and crows has continued to increase, to the point that it is disputed whether their sounds represent true language. Less intelligent birds shrank in size in general.

** Corvids

*** Grackles: Grackles are the most intelligent birds in the world. They have shrank slightly in size, but increased in intelligence. They travel in flocks with complex social structures and can build shelters together using their beaks.

** Smaller Birds

* Insects: Flying Insects, on average, remain similar to how they were on the present-day Earth. However, land insects, including termites and ants, are often much larger.

** Striders: These are the descendants of water striders. They are much larger, and several have grown additional, leg-like appendages to give them more surface tension on water. Some are so flat and with such surface area that they may look like furry lily pads.

** Moths: Moths are descendants of our moths.

* Arachnids: Arachnids during this era have a much larger size range than in the present day. Many remained small, while some grew to be as large as horses.

** Harvestmen: Harvestmen are the descendants of Opiliones who have grown to be much larger.

*** Sand Harvestmen: These are hard-shelled arachnids with legs spanning up to 6 feet in length. They typically cling to boulders or burrow into shallow sand before hunting their prey.

* Crustaceans: Crustaceans also have a much wider size range than during the present day. Most crustaceans have much thicker exoskeletons and can be as large as a child.

** Fwonnel Crab: These are one of multiple descendants of hermit crabs that inhabit the tropical and subtropical west coast of the Western Continent. They can reach up to 3 feet tall by about 2.5 feet wide, and they often wear the shells of larger snails as a protective shield.

''(For the geographic region, see [[Permechiko]]. For the language, see [[Permechikan]]. This article is specifically about the political entity called the “Permechikan Empire”.)''

The Permechikan Empire was a vast empire, at times the largest in the world that existed from ~1400 until 2011. It was ruled by several dynasties of emperors over the years.

The [[Prins Empire]] gradually lost control of its foreign holdings as it spread itself too thin and crises in the homeland caused organization and loyalty to fall apart. The region of Zhon had the largest proportion of the Prins economy abroad. After it lost connection with the empire, it organized itself into a new state called [[Span]]. The [[Span Dynasty]] rapidly swept across the Permechikan lands of the former empire and established an order that upheld much of the Prinsi governing standards.

==History==

===Prehistory===
In the 4700’s BR (Before Rediscovery), the speakers of Hvasvan split into two groups. The Cahilan branch moved west of what we know as the Mississippi River towards the Pacific Ocean. The Sern Branch spread through the Gulf Coast and up through the Appalachians.

The Cahilan Family moved southward into Mexico, with many offshoots, including the Proto-Arodjun branch. By 1500BR, Proto-Arodjun speakers became divided in settlement between the Dedun Valley to the north, and the Fwonnel Peninsula to the south. The groups remained in contact but the Dedun people gradually isolated more and more until their language had diverged.

The Dedun Valley was a fertile canyon, a volcanic crack carved deep into what we call Mexico. The Proto-Permechikan Civilization that evolved in Dedun remained an isolated kingdom with a strong central government.

=== Early Documented History ===
Expansion occurred very gradually into the interior of the continent along the Dedun River and its tributaries. Through occasional trade with the Arojaunzans and nomadic desert and mountain tribes, rumour of a vast fertile plain and an eastern coast fueled further eastward growth.

Between 1100BR and 800AR, the Ancient Permechikan Civilization rotated between multiple dynasties as more tribes from the interior of the continent were incorporated into its sphere. As the First Fwonnel Empire reached the height of its power during the 500’s BR, an early form of the DjoPeidog writing system spread as a language of commerce through the continent, reaching the Dedun Valley by 300 BR.

A modified version of the script was developed to accommodate for the Permechikan language, leading to its viral spread across the nomadic groups of the interior and eventually to the Kaxxila civilization along the eastern coast of Mexico.

As the First Fwonnel Empire fell by 119BR, its former vassal states and dependent tribes came to depend more on Dedun. Its power began to increase in the region, but its focus remained on piety and order. This changed when Dedun settlers made contact with western Kaxxila in the fertile east coast that had been fabled for so long. The two civilizations shared a writing system and many cultural traits, and they both desperately wanted a unified trade route to cross the continent.

=== Unification of Dedun and Cahila ===
After a few small conflicts, the two civilizations amicably created a unified central government in 243AR in an event known as “The Day the Oceans Met.” Soon later a new capital city was constructed in the where the main Kaxxilan and Dedun roads met, which was named “Pemex Ung,” Kaxxilan for “City of Oceans,” the namesake for what would become known as Permechiko.

Permechiko was now an enormous kingdom, spanning millions of square miles and connecting the Gulf of California to the Gulf of Mexico. The Old Permechikan language was influenced greatly by Kaxxilan, and the former Kaxxilan civilization was gradually subsumed by the new (but Dedun-dominated) Permechikan culture.

From 400AR through 1200AR, a golden age of culture and literacy took place, and seeds of a rivalry with Fwonarodjun were sown.

=== Prins Conquest ===
The world order was upset with the Prins conquests of the 1270’s through 1390’s. While Permechiko was never fully conquered by the Prinsi, the influence was undeniable, and visible in the language in words of formality, technology, and economics.

=== Span Dynasty and Nulluth Dynasty ===
The Prinsi waned in the early 1400’s, and amidst the chaos and mass migration of this period, Permechiko came under the control of a Prins-speaking dynasty known as the Span.

Span Permechiko was much more imperialistic, and saw nations bordering the Great Desert such as Reuxalusia, Delshun, and Zhon as threats to the Permechikan hegemony. Over the 1500’s, it reorganized itself as an autocratic imperialist state.

After the War of the Pearl between the Permechikan Empire and a coalition of Fwonnel states, the Permechikans came to control the largest territory of any nation in known history, ruling the Fwonnel Peninsula from 1563 until 1847. As a multilingual empire, Permechikans never really forced their language on their colonies. It was used only by government officials and those trying to suck up to them.

After El Fwonk Casanosia gained independence and the Nashan Civilization expanded to the northeast, Permechiko declined until it had essentially fully collapsed by 2010AR. The language is still spoken by millions across the continent, though they mostly live in small decayed villages and semi-nomadic tribes.

Fwonnel Peninsula

2026-04-22T21:13:39Z

King Horror:

The Fwonnel Peninsula ([[Arodjun]]: ''Kwareum djoFwonnou'', ''Kimzja Fwonnou'') is a geological region on [[Earth]], located on the southwest coast of [[Menaiceraum]]. It is one of several new landmasses with no analog to Earth during the era of [[Humans]]. It has been the home to several civilizations, most notably [[Arojaunza]], [[Fwonn]], and [[El Fwonk Casanosia]].

It is here where, as of 2067AR, [[Arodjun]] is the most commonly spoken language.

== Geography ==

The Fwonnel Peninsula juts out from the west side of Menaiceraum, south of the [[Kleo Peninsula]] and the island of [[Zessis]].

It was formed rapidly from cataclysmic events that uplifted a chunk of the Earth’s crust, leaving a complex mix of sedimentary and igneous rock. Several fault lines created volcanic mountain ranges, ridges, and valleys. The most notable of these include the [[North Ridge]], [[Krakerber Mountains]], [[Barrier Mountains]], and [[Death Canyon]].

In terms of the ecosystem, the peninsula receives a summer monsoonal system, with rainfall being heavily dependent on rain shadows and seasonal changes in ocean currents temperatures. Some areas are outright desert, while wetter areas can be swamps in lowlands or alpine forests near mountaintops.

For a list of settlements by [[Pups]] in the Fwonnel Peninsula as of 2067AR, see [[List of Locations in El Fwonk Casanosia]].

== Polities ==

Several political entities have controlled parts or all of the Fwonnel Peninsula since the arrival of Cahilan peoples in the 3000s BR.

=== Before the War of the Peninsula (744BR) ===
* Kingdom of Arojaunza
* Kingdom of Fwun

The Great Geyser Lake ([[Arodjun]]: ''Xudjadjeum'') is the world's largest freshwater geyser.

Death Canyon River

2026-04-22T21:03:26Z

King Horror:

Death Canyon River ([[Arodjun]]: ''Kakxijetwif'') is a river in the western Fwonnel Peninsula that drains into the ocean at the peninsula's northwest corner. The river carries a high volume of water, being the exit point for the majority of the water springing from the [[Great Geyser Lake]].

As the name may suggests, about 20 miles from the [[Death Canyon Delta]] there is a large stretch of steeply-sloped rapids that make the river completely non-navigable in the upstream direction.

Since 1934AR, the river has been used to transport people and goods in a dangerous, annual downstream migration of [[Pups]] to the Delta. This tradition is called the [[Ick Evacuation]]. The dangerous journey was long justified as the quickest path from [[Roox City]] to a region largely safe from the [[Ick]]. However, this gradually became an ativity that only the wealthy participated in while regular citizens stocked supplies and remained underground for nearly two months each year. Finally, by the time the city of [[Sarbisi]] came into fruition in the late 2020s, the practice of Ick Evacuation became more of a sporting and adventuring activity for the wealthy than one done for sheer survival.

Death Canyon River ([[Arodjun]]: *Kakxijetwif*) is a river in the western Fwonnel Peninsula that drains into the ocean at the peninsula's northwest corner. The river carries a high volume of water, being the exit point for the majority of the water springing from the [[Great Geyser Lake]].

As the name may suggests, about 20 miles from the [[Death Canyon Delta]] there is a large stretch of steeply-sloped rapids that make the river completely non-navigable in the upstream direction.

Since 1934AR, the river has been used to transport people and goods in a dangerous, annual downstream migration of [[Pups]] to the Delta. This tradition is called the [[Ick Evacuation]]. The dangerous journey was long justified as the quickest path from [[Roox City]] to a region largely safe from the [[Ick]]. However, this gradually became an ativity that only the wealthy participated in while regular citizens stocked supplies and remained underground for nearly two months each year. Finally, by the time the city of [[Sarbisi]] came into fruition in the late 2020s, the practice of Ick Evacuation became more of a sporting and adventuring activity for the wealthy than one done for sheer survival.
