Ngol To (Common: /'ŋɒltɒ/), properly written as Ŋołtʿokeq (Old Dze: ['ŋoɬtʼokeq]) and officially the Ŋołtʿokeq Autonomous Foreign Banner (abbr. NAFB) is a recently founded city and Special Autonomous Region in the Dze Confederation. With 2,132 inhabitants and a territory of 153 square kilometres, it is one of the most densely populated areas of the country.
Ngol To was established as a settlement in 1612, after the Tsodzuń of that year declared the need for a settlement to flock all foreigners into in order to avoid potential outside interference in the confederation at large and to keep an eye on them. Originally inhabited by native humans meant to staff the original buildings and docks, the port would quickly begin to experience population growth as many nations sought to establish quadrants of economic influence in the city, beginning. That same year the first five Mandates would be issued.
Originally a bay ocassionally frequented by dzeii tribes, the area is set to become one of the most important trading hubs of the Wintry Ocean due to its strategic location as the only port for a thousand kilometres in either direction.
Etymology
The Prestorean Common name of the settlement, Ngol To, comes from the Old Dze term "Ŋołtʿokeq", lit. sea-work-place (of), "sea workshop", which was simplified and romanized in early 1613. Alternate romanizations exist, based off a similar etymology from the local dzenic languages, but these are rarely utilized. The term was also alternatively combined into Ngolto, however most foreign sources prefer the two word Ngol To instead.
History
Prehistory
The earliest signs of inhabitation come from the middle paleolithic at about 87,000 years ago, based on investigations by the Archival Institute of Science's (AIS) local branch, the Archival Institute of the Wintry Ocean (AIWO), during late 1613. The archaeological works revealed several knapped flint tools and processed animal remains near a cave system in the hills surrounding the port.
Special Autonomous Region
Establishment
During the Tsodzuń of 1612 it was established by the leaders of the clans that a need for the increasing amount of foreigners arriving be contained in one area, with many propositions it was in the end the Bay of X̣ṭeḿuƚtṡatʿ was chosen as the area for such purpose. Volunteers from the many mannish clans of the confederation would arrive in mid-1612 to begin construction in a 20 square kilometre area, with several docks and piers, as well as living quarters, being completed by the time the first foreigners arrived.
On the 23rd of Magnus, a diplomatic mission from Polslava would become the first foreigners to arrive in the port, having been directed there from the Cloudspear peninsula by locals when they made landfall there and managing to acquire a plot of 60 square kilometres in exchange for an annual tribute, the treaty supervised by Tsotʿaan Xanaaq̇ut in person. This would be quickly followed by a ship from Voidkree, seeking to retrieve three scientists sent the previous year, that arrived on the 17th of Florentina 1613, striking a similar deal for 20-100 square kilometres of land to build scientific facilities in, founding the Archival Institute of the Wintry Ocean (AIWO).
Ascension to tribe status
It would be on the 23rd of Florentina 1613 that the settlement would be declared an Autonomous Foreign Tribe under temporary jurisdiction of the Ŋǫłiníí Clan by the Tsodzuń, with the ambassadors of all countries present in the port being granted the title of chieftain during their term and able to act with limited gubernamental autonomy as the settlement's official leaders.
Government and Politics
Ngol To currently stands as a Special Autonomous Foreign Banner, which has been granted the privelege of relative independent economic freedom in the quadrants occupied by foreign countries, while the central dzeii government remains in charge of the gubernamental powers. This, however, is expected to change by the latter half of the 17th century as the quadrants have been given as leases for 50 years.
Administrative Divisions
The territory is currently divided into 4 quadrants, Biała Zakota, Ŋołtʿokeq, Ķi'iț-ṡar Ķavanśțer and Woldwick, which are representatives of the areas where major countries have made acquisitions of land to build facilities in, the exception being Ŋołtʿokeq constituency, which is the original 20 square kilometres where the port originated from, sometimes refered to as the "city centre".
Mandates
The Mandates are a series of restrictions and conditions set upon by the Tsotʿaan Xanaaq̇ut during the polslavan acquisition that serve as chief legislative commands, these include mandates to control or decrease enviromental pollution, build height limit and, most crucially, the 1st Mandate, which acknowledges the authority of the dze in the port.
