Etymology
Nakosa
The origin of Nakosa's name came from the three major settlements created after the fall of Gliat Shea. When protesters decided to campaign for independence in 1941, they had to think of a name for the country. they decided to take the 'Na' of Najrk, the 'Ko' of Koraskavah, and the 'Sa' of Sarydiv to make 'Nakosa'.
Njahoska
The Norgsveltian word for Nakosa originates from the word used to describe the three major settlements as one. The first written form of the word is thought to have been on a stone tablet, as a treaty between Najrk and Sarydiv dating back to approximately 450 BCE.
History
Emergence
After the Fall of Gliat Shea, the remaining Gliat Sheans erected small settlements scattered around the former lands. There were three main settlements, Najrk, Koraskavah, and Sarydiv. The tribes had several minor wars over a course of 3200 years, particularly Najrk and Sarydiv, but they mostly lived in peace.
The First Norgsveltian Empire
In 1642 the first Norgsveltian empire claimed the area as it's own. There was a brief war between the Norgsveldets and the natives, but they managed to create a treaty and all was well.
The Republic of Frilandr
After the Republic of Frilandr was formed, peace within the area remained until Frilandr became more centralist, with power stripped from the reigon. Many Gliat Shean descendants were campaigning for the idea that the area form an independent country named after the original three settlements. There were many riots throughout the country and the government were worried the whole thing would descend into civil war.
Independence
After Pledonia won the Pledonian War of Independence, along with several other civil wars, Helslandr was crippled. The cries to make Nakosa an independent country were louder than ever, as the economy was extremely low, and the region was falling into chaos. Sir Oddswalth Bringington, a former politics champion, caved in and quickly formed a small government to control the area's soldiers.
On the 25th of November, Nakosa declared independence against Helslandr. Unexpectedly, it retaliated by sending troops to Usaky. The Nakosan War for Independence lasted 4 years, mainly because Nakosa did not have as good a military experience. In 1947 31st January Helsandr surrendered, but it was only a year later full independence was declared. 7,000 Nakosans died during the war. Nakosa stays a communist country.
The Nakosan Civil War
After independence, Nakosa remained peaceful until 1949, when protesters started campaigning for Capitalisim. The Senate, annoyed at the Capitalists, sent out some police force to stop the protests. The situation slowly escalated until September 11th 1950 when protesters brought in guns to defend themselves from police. The Senate declared civil war.
The period between 1950 and 1955 is known as 'The Great Slump'. During this period GDP dropped to just $100 Billion.

Landscape
Mountains
Bordering Nakosa with Helslandr and Pledonia is the Plelsakan Mountan range, spanning nearly the entire west border of Nakosa, apart from a medium sized gap in the centre of the border of Nakosa and Helslandr.
Mt Bakkemann
Nakosa's largest mountain, however, exists near the eastern border in a small region of land called the 'Balabel Plains', famous throughout the nation for it's stunningly high hills and beautiful forests. Known by locals as 'Bakkemann' or, translated literally, 'Hill Man', Mt Bakkemann stands at 3,764 metres tall.
Ademarism legend has it, after God-on-urth's physical form was slayed, that one bit of essence from the physical form was carried away and accidentally spread on a human, who became a demigod. The Angels, worried that the human would rise up against them, turned him to stone, and he became Mt Bakkemann.
Forests
There are many forest spread throughout south Nakosa, but the two largest are Frundun Forest and Kobaba Forest.
Frundun Forest
Frundun Forest is located in the south east area of Nakosa. The area is covered mostly in Redwood trees.
In the late 1940's many companies started chopping down trees areas of Frundun Forest. The government was worried that in two decades the entire forest would be gone. After a year of arresting the loggers, Sir Oddswalth Bringington decided that Frundun Forest be made a national park.
