The Federation of Jikoshak, natively the Iacoensvih di Jiko'Shak is a state located in the western part of Pythia.
Goverment
The foreign policy of Jikoshak is determined by the Sixth Council. There are four current members of the Sixth Council. Each council member is also the head of government a region of Jikoshak. Councilmembers generally also have an advisory body, known collectively as the Dujzarnsvih. Members of the Dujzarnsvih are often entrusted with managing subregions, economic matters, or military groups.
Jikoshak consists of four regions, which often act as independent nations. They will only act together if there is an exisentional threat. The regions are often visciously competitive with each other, to the point of several limited border wars between in the past 3 decades.
Religion
The religion of Jikoshak is based upon the Fuhajicwer Irradraushum (Books of the First Dragon). These books are believed to be written by the Siheiwer Irradraushum (the Children of the First Dragon), and detail the events of the Irradraushum's life and some events that occurred after its death. Much of the early history of Jikoshak is based upon the events recorded in the Fuhajicwer Irradraushum.
History
The ruling council of Jikoshak is the sixth draconic council. The first council was formed by the Siheiwer Irradraushum (the Children of the First Dragon); this council divided the continent of Pythia into six regions, each ruled by one of the children. As members of the first council died, their seats were not replaced as their regions quickly descended into chaos and war and had no readily available or obvious replacement. Thus, the first council was dissolved upon the death of the last of the Siheiwer. By this time, dragons and many related species had spread across much of Pythia, and were most concentrated in the west. They often coexisted with other species or lived within territories controlled by non-dragons, though draconic raids were kept to a minimum as many settlements preferred to pay tribute rather than attempt to defend a raid. The next three councils were formed generally as a result of foreign influence, war, or rebellion within dracon inhabited territories, and were often dissolved within a few decades. The fifth council was formed as a result of the Draushmaulkics (Dragon Hunts), where many nations and peoples within Pythia ceased tribute payments 2000 years ago. Most of these nations also began issuing bounties for killing dragons or outright declared war on dragonic races as a whole, as well as forcing draconic humanoids out of their territory. The Bugwe in particular were responsible for a large number of dragon deaths during the Draushmaulkics, leading to many dragons today being distrustful of insectoid species and the Bugwe in particular. While an attempt to fight against dragon hunters was made, the combined forces were quickly determined to be too large to defeat, and the fifth council dissolved after just 4 years. Its final order was to strongly recommend that every dragon either move into deep caves, the deep sea, or to flee the continent entirely. It is estimated that 75% of all dragons, and 30% of draconic humanoids, were forced out of Pythia or killed during the Draushmaulkics. This period lasted about 160 years. As a result of this, the skeletons of dragons are present in much of Pythia.
The sixth and current council of Jikoshak was formed 300 years ago with the goal of industrializing and unifying the scattered draconic peoples. As this has now been accomplished, their purpose has shifted to foreign policy and military coordination.

Vegetation
In the east, natural vegetation is primarily grasses and some trees. The land transitions into hot desert in the west, leading to vegetation being primarily sparse shrubs and small, hardy trees.
Wildlife
Much of the larger wildlife has been hunted into extinction in Jikoshak for food. Thus, the remaining wildlife is primary small rodents, small birds, rabbits, pseudodragons, and a few small carnivores such as coyotes, foxes, and hawks.

Armed Forces
The Esajobta Jedarkic Diwer Jikoralwheg (Armed Forces of the Sixth Council) is the official military organization of the Jikoshak. The number of active duty members is estimated at 504,000 personnel, and the reserve pool is estimated to be 665,700 personnel. The Mekihlreab (Army) comprises of roughly 280,000 personnel, the Muansitavdriiksvih (Navy/Coast Guard) 150,000, and the Hansadriikeage (Air Force) 50,000. The Esajobta Jedarkic's intelligence arm is the Weridric Diwer Jikoralweg (WDJ). In conflicts, Jikoshak is known to supplement their forces with private military contractors, who might perform convoy/supply guarding, logistics duties, or (rarely) frontline roles.
Known Muansitavdriiksvih vessels include: MDS Ekikzhen Ocret (Ekikzhen Ocret class) cruiser
