'''The Cooperative Commonwealth of New Leganés, the OblivionImpelanzan Islands and ShoneriaOcean''', commonly known asalternatively '''the Cooperative Commonwealth''', or '''CCNLCCI''', orcommon simplyand mistakenly known as '''New LeganésLeganes''' (njuː le.ɣa.ˈne:s) in various countries, and formerly '''the Cooperative Commonwealth of New Leganes, the Oblivion Islands and Shoneria''', is a nation, located on [[Urth]], which consists of several islands near the equator in the [[South Concordian Ocean]] or Impelanzan Ocean (in Cukish ''Volióke Tukosqá'', literally "the Great Water of Vóliok"), between the continents of [[Gondwana]] and [[Arcturia]]. The New LeganésLeganes people are called "Cukish", and so the native and one of the official languages, [[Cukish language|Cukish]]. New Leganes shares borders with [[ShangoShatterhorn]] and [[Alksearia]] to the northeast and [[East Cerdani]] and [[Aivintis]] to the southwest. They also share the special shared territory of the [[Isla de la Amistad]] with Alksearia and [[South Peragen]].
 
==Etymology==
Several theories exist about the name of New LeganésLeganes. The tradition establishes an etymology from [[Alég Mainéas]], the grandfather of [[Nepámir]] the [[Nári]]. The name of the first town founded by Nepámir was [[Lipát Alég Mainéasle Kárt]], literally "the New Town in honour of Alég Mainéas" and it would have been located on Fórnstell. However, there's no archaeological evidence of such town, and the first properly Cukish-considered towns appeared on Rhúnstell. Consequently, nowadays the name of Nepámir's grandfather is considered by most experts to be made specifically to bring an etymology, not being an original name itself.
 
This is, however, the only certainty about the origin of the term "New Leganés". In the earliest references to the term, it appears usually as "Livalénqasia", and this is often taken as the basis to search for an etymology. Thus, this "Livá", which means "New" in Cukish, wouldn't be nothing but a false cut, and such "Livá" should be included in the original root.
Line 149:
The Cooperative Commonwealth has three official languages, as stated in its Constitution: [[Cukish language|Cukish]], Impelanzan and Staynish. Every Cukish citizen must have a notable level on them all, and so they're taught since the first school levels. It is calculated that approximately a 99% of Cukish citizens speak fluently Cukish, a 90% speak Staynish and a 85% speak Impelanzan. The mother tongue is, however, different on each territory. The archipelagos of New Leganés and the Oblivion Islands have Cukish as its main mother tongue, while Shoneria has Impelanzan instead. The level of Staynish knowledge is roughly the same in the whole Commonwealth territory (95% in Shoneria, 90% in New Leganés and the Oblivion Islands), while Impelanzan is near 100% in Shoneria and 80% in the rest of the territory.
 
Aside from its use as mother tongue, Cukish is spoken by most Shonerians, but the usual way of communication between Cukish speakers and Impelanzan speakers is using Impelanzan, as advised by authorities via campaigns. This is an attempt to prevent Impelanzan from falling in disuse, as there are nowadays few situations in the Cukish-speaking territories when Impelanzan can be useful. Impelanzan is also promoted as the language of culture, being the main language in music, literature or movies. There are, nevertheless, rich cultural expressions in both Cukish and Staynish as well. Staynish is promoted as the language of international relations, following the prosperous tourism, trade and diplomacy sectors New Leganés enjoys in the last years, and, mostly in the past, was the mother tongue of several Oblivion Islands and Shoneria populations, until it got heavily reduced by the campaigns promoting Impelanzan and Cukish as mother tongues right after the [[1920 Cukish Revolution|1920 revolution]].
