Nova Cameroon (English: Nova Cameroon, /nə́wvə ˌkæməˈruːn/, Oktadonian: Nové Cémarôn), officially the Allied States of Nova Cameroon (Oktadonian: Âtéts élliâs do Nové Cémarôn), Is a country in the southwest of southern Takaria. It is bordered by Dives Patriae to the west and north, Polacianth to the northeast, and Free Azell to the east. Its coastline includes the Enbas Peninsula, located in the northwest of the coast, and lies within the Usnean Ocean to the south. The coastline has many port cities for the trading of goods. The population of nearly 17.2 million people speak four documented native languages.
Early inhabitants of the region included the Majan civilization around Lake Intyatyambo and the nomadic Regkiak tribes in the northern plains. Oktadonian explorers reached the coast in the early 16th century, naming it Lé Côta das Pélmiars (The Coast of Palms), eventually becoming Izwe Lesundu in So’u, which translated later to Palm Country in English. Today, the name serves as a popular second name for the country. Majan soldiers, combined with Ebawawean and Moloussian soldiers, established what was known as the Great Urandu Kingdom in the 12th century, which governed much of the tribes and peoples in the coastal and southern regions, with its border on the Veyw Mountain range in the north. During this time, many powerful northern chiefdoms and some fondoms ruled the lands not conquered by the kingdom’s forces. The kingdom lasted for just over 163 years before splitting into six principalities due to internal struggles. Of the six, five reunited in 1472 to become the Somatut Caliphate. Nova Cameroon became an Oktadonian colony in 1539 known as Nôvalla Oktadonia. After a war with the First Aquitilean Republic in 1800, all the lands encompassing Nova Cameroon were ceded to the First Aquitilean Republic. Despite owning all the land, the Aquitileans settled exclusively in the southeastern regions of the territory, due to higher amounts of more diverse natural resources, heavily influencing the native populations there and mostly left the rest of the region to self-governance. Over time, political parties began to spring up in the region. Only one gained much traction, the Union das Tribus do Nové Cémarôn (UTNC). This party strongly advocated for the independence of the territory. In the 1880s, the Aquitilean government outlawed the party, which caused many militant forces to rise up in the north, south, and west. As the forces moved east, the Aquitileans granted the country its independence in 1919 as the Camaer Republic, led by John Awolowo. The republic was abandoned in 1963 as the weak democratic government was disbanded in a coup by the military, establishing the Democratic Republic of the Camaers So’us and Xsis, led by General Neema Ibori. The junta caused many humanitarian issues, especially among other ethnicities in the country, and states such as the Soumoloussan State and the first Ambazonian Republic, broke away. In 1999, the junta was overthrown as democratic forces reestablished their government and the name changed to the Novecamaer Republic led by Subira Okonkwo. Later, in 2003 and 2005 respectively, the two breakaway republics rejoined the Novecamaer Republic, and the name was changed to the Allied States of the Novecamaer Region, and was later simplified to Nova Cameroon. Nova Cameroon is governed by a Unitary Presidential Republic.
The official languages of Nova Cameroon are English and Oktadonian, from previous control by colonial powers, and So’u, being the most widely spoken native language in the country. Its religious population is predominantly Violetist, with a significant minority practicing traditional faiths and some practicing Islamnote 1. It has experienced tensions in the previously Aquitilean governed areas in the southeast, where many call for greater decentralization and even independence of the region from the country (as stated by the Eastern Camaer National Council). In 2016, tensions over the creation of a Nova Ambazonian state (commonly referred to as the second Ambazonian Republic) escalated to open warfare, with the war ending in early 2026.
A large portion of Nova Cameroonians live as subsistence farmers. The country has been noted for being ethnically and linguistically diverse. Its natural features include beaches, mountains, plains, rainforests, and savannas. Its highest point, at almost 12,402 feet (3,780 m), is Mount Azwadan in the Bueftaf Region. The most populous cities are its economic and main seaport, Sohon, and its political capital; Yahweh. Nova Cameroon has many native music styles, including Malikkan and Bjund. Nova Cameroon also has a national soccer and table tennis team. It is a member state of the Telrovan Assembly and a second-class member within the Almaty Pact.
