The '''People of the Peaceful Friendship''' (<small>E’lixsienk: '''''Wëlànkuntëwakà’ká'''''</small>) commonly known as the '''Kelamí League''', is a confederacy of tribal nations located in northwest [[Novaris]]. The six constituent nations of the League, known as ''Lekaëyu,'' are highly autonomous, though they answer to a central government known as the Grand Council of the People (Achimulsëwakàn) on matters of foreign policy, international economics, and defense. The nation shares borders with [[Endertopias]] and Acara Shura to the south and [[Cryria|Tynam]] to the north, as well as [[Älemsi Negdel]] via maritime territory. The League covers a mountainous and cold territory close to the [[Rotantic Ocean|Rotantic]] Circle, and derives much of its prosperity from the soft drink and data hosting industries, owing to carbonated hot springs and cold temperatures being conducive to supporting those enterprises.
The League was formed from six nationstates: Shahëwèkwe (''<small>The People of the Crawfish</small>''), Sànàksëkwe'iéke (''<small>The People of the Black Arrowhead</small>''), Answikànwèkwe (''<small>The People of the Fishing Net</small>''), Thàpèkunkwèké (''<small>The People of the Wellspring</small>''), Pahsaèkatëmatwa'áku (''<small>The People of the Guarded Valley</small>''), and Kèxaptunwène'ku (<small>''The People of Few Words''.</small>) These nations of [[Species|Cervine]] tribes and people had existed in the isolation of the Novaran tundra for centuries, but the slow colonization and settlement of the southern lands prompted them to band together for mutual defense and solidarity. Each spoke a language descended from a common origin, and the confederacy still maintains a diverse linguistic heritage today. The national language "E’lixsienk" is not a single dialect but a group of over ten related languages. The Treaty of National Friendship, signed in 1344, brought the six states under the banner of the name Wëlànkuntëwakà’ká, meaning "the People of the Peaceful Friendship." This confederated nation developed its own identity and values separate from the more industrial southern Novaris nations during the 1st Millenium, their territory too inhospitable for settlement and the peoples too adamant of their independence to be worth bothering. Taking no sides in any conflicts, the League is staunchly neutral to the point of stubbornness, though its citizens are active and vocal participants of the international community via interconnectivity, television, and travel. The nation is a full member of the [[League of Novaris|League of Novaris.]]
Credited with being the oldest and largest of the contemporary Cervine nations, the League is a modern example of Cervine culture. The confederated nations are highly family-based with constituent tribes and clans led by elder matriarchs. The League as a whole is highly environmentally conscious and does not permit excessive extraction of resources or development of real estate, preferring small scattered communities of limited size and nondestructive industry. While somewhat isolationist, the League trades with a good number of countries and is a common source for spices, herbal remedies, and traditional medicines. The lumber and agriculture industries, as well as food and beverages, are major League exports. The League states commonly cite themselves as the birthplace of rootbeer and other carbonated beverages, though this claim remains unverified due to the nature of its roots in oral history.

Today, the League's soft drink industry builds on the heritage of these drinks. The largest sellers of ''mpë'chgëyne''-type soft drinks are Chgei'nuaka Pop, a birch beer, sarsaparilla, and tonic water company, Mountain Ice, a mineral water and citrus soda company, and Thitpan, a designer soda and root beer company. The beverage companies in the League are all owned at least in part by the government, which directly controls access to the springs necessary for bottling. All soft drinks are made with authentic mineral water with natural carbonation, harvested with minimally-invasive methods from the source. Purification processes allow no harmful minerals to remain but keep the beneficial ones for taste and nutrition. League soft drinks are generally considered more "upscale" than other brands due to the artisan manufacturing process and packaging. With distinct hand-blown glass bottles and cork-and-rubber stoppers, contemporary ''mpë'chgëyne'' are marketed as "eco-sensitive," "hand-made" and "authentic heritage" from the nation that invented the soft drink as it is known today. Birch beer, mirroring the Northern Novaran Birch from which its ingredients derived, is the official national drink of the League.
