It is the biggest country in Vestrava. Its capital is Usaky, which is Nakosa's second largest city at around 2.3 million residents as of 2019.

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. The people who already were there had no choice. Eventually they learned to live with it.

The Republic of Frilandr

After the Republic of Frilandr was formed, peace within the area was falling. 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. 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 expirence. 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 1950, when protesters started campaigning for Capitalisim. it decended into civil war which lasted for 5 years before capitalisim finally won.

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.

Kobaba Forest

Kobaba Forest is located in the south west area of Nakosa. It's mainly filled with oak trees and spruce trees. The ancient settlement of Koraskavah is located here.
