The '''People of the Peaceful Friendship''' (E’lixsienk: '''''Wëlànkuntëwakà’ká''''') commonly known as the '''Kelamí League''', is a confederacy of nations located in
The League was formed from six nationstates: Shahëwèkwe (''The People of the Crawfish''), Sànàksëkwe'iéke (''The People of the Black Arrowhead''), Answikànwèkwe (''The People of the Fishing Net''), Thàpèkunkwèké (''The People of the Wellspring''), Pahsaèkatëmatwa'áku (''The People of the Guarded Valley''), and Kèxaptunwène'ku (''The People of Few Words''.) These nations of 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 League’s current population is estimated to be 25,000,000, with difficulties rising from accounting for rural or off-grid citizens. The current birth rate is 21 per 1000 residents. The Leagues population averages an age of 34 years. The League’s states are largely rural but massive numbers of people are concentrated in the cities. The Lèxawèkink metropolitan area is the most densely populated part of the country, with a population density of 3,300 people per square kilometer. The next largest cities are Hakihakana, Salextekwim, and Ntalinxkelhatao. The second-largest port after Ntalinxkelhatao is Nushukwe, which has a population of 2.3 million. Almost all the people outside the cities are spread across the rest of the country in small eco-friendly communities devoted to various agricultural or outdoors trades.
As of 2020 there were 500,018 people living in the League with a foreign background (2%.) Most of these people are from neighboring Tynam and other Cryrian territories, with significant amounts also from Endertopias, Alemsi Negdel, and Vesienval. Of these, around 65,121 possess citizenship. The children of non-citizens do not receive citizenship in the League if born in League territory. Cervines worldwide are however able to take advantage of the League’s ''laphala'' policy to claim citizenship via ancestry. The immigrant population of the League is growing very slowly, and can be found almost exclusively in the cities. It is expected to reach 550,000 by 2030.
===Language===
The national language of the League is the E’lixsienk, a collection of closely related dialects each spoken by a different state.
