Buyo (Mandarin: 安浱; pinyin: Ānchún; Jusin: 부여; pyongum: Buyŏ), officially the Buyonese Federative Socialist Republic (BFSR) is a country in central Narushia. It is situated in the easternmost region of central Narushia, bordered by the Usnean Ocean to the north and east and Heskurik to the west. Buyo has a land area of 1.18 million square kilometers (456,327 square miles), with a population of approximately 88 million distributed over 15 provinces and two municipalities. The capital and second most populous city is Gemun, while the most populous city is Peihai.
The region that now comprises Buyo has been inhabited since the late Paleolithic, with settlement focused around the Paemul and the northern coast. The first organized states arose by the 6th century BCE, with the first written records dating to the 4th century BCE. Buyo's first real dynasty emerged in 121 CE with the Kyerim Kingdom. Following a civil war, the Kayanid Kingdom (472-893) took power, seeing the emergence of classical Buyonese cultures. Under the succeeding Yaksa Kingdom (893-1178) continued this cultural expansion, adopting the Varasani and Tamun scripts. The Sol Dynasty saw the formation of Buyo as a coherent state, while the Qingjin Dynasty conquered to its largest extent. The Empire of Buyo was overthrown in the Buyonese Revolution, culminating in the establishment of the current Buyonese Federative Socialist Republic in 1929, under the Buyonese Peasants' and Workers' Party (BPWP). Early communist rule saw the dual industrialization of the country and sociocultural revolution, culminating in the 1969 Constitution, lessening the role of the BPWP in state affairs.
Buyo is a multiethnic country with over 65 recognized ethnic groups, with no dominant ethnicity. A shared identity has been formed around a shared ideology, defined by a national language, cultural diversity, and a common history. Buyo ranks highly in measures of ethnic equality.
Buyo is a federal one-party socialist republic constitutionally led by the BPWP. It is a member of the International Communist Network. Buyo maintains an authoritarian regime where political opposition is not permitted. It is regarded as one of the worst countries in the world for independent journalism. Currently, the Buyonese economy is growing at a rapid pace, although it still remains a developing country. It maintains a largely planned economy, save for special economic zones in Peihai, Isun, and Muksu.
Etymology
The term "Buyo" is believed to have originated from Fu Yue (Mandarin: 傅说; pinyin: Fù Yuè), the legendary founder of the Ri clan that would later form the Ri Dynasty of the Buyonese Empire. Fu Yue was described as the son of Hapaek, the god of the Paemul River, who established the modern-day city of Ryongyon, from which the Mus ruled.
The official name of the modern state is the "Buyonese Federative Socialist Republic" (Mandarin: 安漘联邦社会主义共和国, pinyin: Ānchún Liánbāng Shèhuì Zhǔyì Gònghéguó), with the colloquial term being "Buyo" or Ānchún (安漘)', or "safe shore", a term developed following the Clearaxe (Mandarin: 清斤) clan's arrival from the Valleys and takeover of Mudan. "Anchun" is believed to be a transliteration of the Manju word "Ancun", meaning "gold" or "golden", referring to the name of the Yaksa Kingdom, Anchunsaru, or "golden realm". The name ultimately derives from the Aisin (then pronounced as Anchun) river, by which the Yaksa Kingdom was founded.
History
Tool artifacts found in Ninkuta, Varasan, and Kwangju have been dated to 20000-15000 BCE, although to this date no fossil evidence of human habitation has been found. Rock art found in Nakūle Cave near Arsi dates to 10000 BCE. It is believed that prehistoric humans inhabiting the northern coasts of modern-day Buyo, particularly in Ninkuta, would later become the ancestors of the Tamun and Jusin, while those in the south would become the ancestors of the Shun and Congka.
Intensive agriculture was adopted by 5000 BCE, starting from the Paemul basin. Crops such as millet, wheat, adlay, and rice spread across the region of modern-day Buyo. In modern-day Kusimanye, barley was introduced starting in 4000 BCE. The adoption of agriculture led to the first bouts of civilization, based primarily in the Paemul and Tamun river basins, and the northern coast of Buyo. Janggang, the first true city in Buyo, emerged by 3000 BCE, based near the town of Yangdok, with other cities forming along its stretch of the Paemul, making up the Sipje Culture. Along the Tamun River and Bulhuri Lake, the Manju Culture formed, its largest settlement being Fakū, home to 5,000 people. Warfare seemed to be relatively sparse among these civilizations, suggesting some type of political unity. Archaeological evidence of the Paemul script is dated to 1600 BCE, similar to that of the Kisin script of Liberto-Ancapistan, later developing into Shun characters.
The earliest known records of a polity are attributed to Joseon, centered in the Paemul Basin and encompassing territories up to Buruna in the north and Uiju in the south. While archaeological evidence of this era is plentiful, few written records survive of their existence. What is known is that Choson held extensive trading relations both overland in Narushia and overseas. Similarly, Bukuri to the north has few records, although it is heavily attested to both in archaeological records and Tamun mythology. Its first king, Bukuri Yongson, is said to have come from a virgin birth of a magpie and a fairy. The first state with written records, Sacam, rose in the 3rd century BCE, based primarily in modern-day Varasan and Bohori provinces.
Kyerim Kingdom and States
Following the decline of Choson, Bukuri, and Sacam in the mid-2nd century BCE, various states filled the vacuum in Buyo. By this time, the modern peoples of Buyo had begun to take shape, with the proto-Shun and Jusin peoples dominating the Paemul Basin, while the Manjus and Sacamis spread around the north. Toward the west, the Velnye Kingdom slowly began expansion under the Kuche Dynasty, dominating modern-day Kusimanye.
A local petty king in the Paemul region, Ŏl Kasum, began conquering surrounding fiefdoms in 125 BCE. He would later crown himself as King of Kyerim in 113 BCE, following the conquest of the Hanyang Kingdom. Under his daughter Ŏl Aryŏng Kyerim would gain the allegiance of Cong states to its south, while in the north it struggled against Manju states. Under Kyerim, the Paemul script would be refined, developing into seal script and various demotic scripts used for everyday purposes. Ceramics, textiles, ginseng, metals, and livestock all began to be exported as trade goods during this period. The southern trade began developing at this time, with the Valleys (known as Longlin to the Buyonese) exporting tourmaline and agricultural goods for luxury goods from Kyerim. The relationship established between Kyerim and the chiefdom of Loon would come to profoundly influence the culture of the Valleys for the next millenium.
In the northeast, Xusro, the progenitor of the Kayanid dynasty, founded the Tirmis Kingdom in the city of the same name. The surrounding area of modern-day Varasan and Kuararon was ruled by his descendants for the next thousand years. The Xusronid dynasty would rule the easterly Manju states through alliances and military campaigns, beginning the centuries-long Sacami influence over the Manju peoples. The Velnye expanded west, coming into contact with the Hulun Confederacy, starting a centuries-long series of conflicts. The Cong peoples of the southern highlands reaped the benefits of trade through the Longbei Corridor, with crops such as the sweetshrub and blueberry being widely cultivated and consumed among them. The kingdom of Lomon would rise to take advantage of this trade.
Kayan Kingdom
Following a power struggle between the last King of Tirmis Ardashir and his chancellor Meheran Golon, the latter took power as king, moving the capital to Kayan. This began the Kayan Kingdom in 472. This takeover largely preserved the tributary relationships that characterized the Tirmis Kingdom, although its directly-governed territories expanded significantly. Under King Meheran Golon, the kingdom would conquer the Manju states, with the most powerful one, Moko (modern-day Ilan Muke), falling by 489. Under his daughter Boran, the Kayanids would subdue the Velnye in 501, turning them into tributary peoples. Before the end of the 5th century, Kayanid armies would sack Kyerim, supplanting it as the hegemon of the Buyonese region. The Kayanids implemented bureaucratic rule, simplifying the system of bureaucratic selection into question-and-answer tests to be judged by officials and scholars. Later evolving into the Buyonese bureaucratic system, the system would survive into the 20th century.
The Kayanid Kingdom saw the emergence of the classical Sacamate cultures that predominate north and east Buyo today. Rulers such as Boran, Narseh, and Vahram patronized artists, sculptors, philosophers, and academics, with the Great Academy of Muksu having over 25,000 students at its peak. Hundreds of annals populate the records of the realm, forming the basis of the first epic of Buyo, the Book of Kings. Kayanid art and literature spread across Narushia, with architectural motifs being found as far as the United Valleys. Valleysians too influenced Kayanid culture and life, with the poet Saksaha Mergen (Valleysian: Archer Magpie) being considered the premier poet of the era.
Following the sudden death of Rostam Sijani in 807, the Kayanids entered a period of rapid decline and strife. With the Manjus and Sacamis forming factions based on regional allegiance, political struggles consumed Kayan. In the chaos, the Velnye, Shun, and Jusin kingdoms which had tributary relations quickly declared independence. The political chaos in Kayan would escalate into a civil war following the assassination of the regent Shirin. This civil war would end inconclusively, with an east-west divide following the divides between Manju and Sacami. Following this, a series of wars would ensue, both claiming the legacy of the Kayanids, with the Manjus based in Yaksa and the Sacamis based in Muksu.
Yaksa Kingdom and Medieval Period
Following a coup against the Muksu government in 881, Kayomart Varaz launched an invasion of Yaksa-held Alcuka, capturing Biyoran Fortress. In a bid to consolidate power and prove that he had a mandate to rule, he was able to rally his loyal supporters and more reluctant warlords in his attempted conquest. Responding to the invasion was Natan Anushbeile Shah, who had recently consolidated power over the various warlords in his realm, and thus had greater fighting capability. In the first phase, the two Shahs remained at a stalemate, with the stronger Varaz struggling to rally his realm while Anushbeile could not break through Varaz's defenses. However, instabiliy within the Muksu court due to the stalemate would give way to the second phase, which was the defeat of Varaz following the fall of Biyoran Fortress to Yaksa forces. In February 893, Yaksa forces entered Muksu, and Natan Anushbeile Shah was enthroned as shahanshah of Anchunshahr (Ancunsaru). His first act was to formally proclaim the Manju peoples as Tamun people, formalizing a century of cultural drift within the Sacamate sphere.
Yaksa campaigns into the Paemul basin yielded more and more control over the Jusin and Shun states. Forces under Sacam Shah invaded the Shun kingdom of Yan, sacking the capital of Peihai in 924. The territory would be incoporated into the Yaksa kingdom, with a governor (Satapa). At Gemun (then Kyongsong), King Sunjong of Buyo, whose trade and connections to the outside world depended on Peihai's continued openness, launched a counterattack. The resulting Buyo-Yaksa War would end with the capitulation of Sunjong and the declaration of Buyo as a subject state of Yaksa. Buyonese bureaucrats would come to exert much influence over Yaksa politics and administration in the following era. Attempts to pacify the southern highlands inhabited by the Cong people would be ineffective, leading to constant warring and the eventual shifting of the capital to Kyongsong, later renamed Gemun. Along with the shifting of the capital came a position to take over the southern trade with Longlin, with Manucha Shah establishing a state monopoly over the trade. Toward the north, [expand on trade with Oktadonia and Takaria idk]. Trade and an openness toward foreign influence would lead to this period being one of the most cosmopolitan eras in Buyonese history.
A massive invasion by Lomon into the Longbei Corridor in 1289 prompted Jenggulen Shah's military response. While the Valleysians were able to beat back the Lomonese, Yaksa had to bear the brunt of the war. Jenggulen Shah had to flee Kyongsong following a daring excursion by the Lomonese, while the south descended into chaos and anarchy. Despite victories by General Shi Yue, by 1291 Yaksa forces had been pushed out of the southern Paemul basin. The court called upon the Velnye to assist the state, much to the delight of the Queen Utpalavarna, who married off her brother to a princess of Yaksa. The Velnye reversed the advances made by the Lomonese, but required a massive tribute in return for their effort before withdrawing from Kyongsong, which was paid in full. This left Yaksa effectively bankrupt, while facing Lomon and Velnye demands for tribute, greatly straining the economy. During a skirmish against the Velnye, Soron Bisipur, Jenggulen Shah's only child, was killed by an arrow to the chest. After her death in 1302, the kingdom quickly spiralled as a succession crisis ensued, with governors effectively usurping royal authority.
Imperial Period
Ri Dynasty
The post-Yaksa era ended with Ri Mirinae's takeover of Gemun and her campaign of reunification of the realm, ending in 1321. Upon the surrender of the warlord Meheran Guksen of Alcuka, Mirinae would return to Gemun, taking the title King of Kings (Mandarin: 王上王; Wángshàngwáng). Despite this and other continuities with previous Sacamate dynasties, she would enforce a strong Shun-Jusin cultural regime, chief among them mandating the use of Mandarin in administration. Further, she would title her realm as Fuyu, or Buyo in Jusin, replacing the traditional name of Anchunsaru. Her dynasty saw an extensive southern expansion, with the Velnye and much of Congka being incorporated into provinces of the new realm.
