Geography

The highest peak in Cukobai, Gunungputih (Mount Bianca) is one of the primary symbols of the country's vibrant ecology, and often features in national symbols, including the National Emblem.
A Koppen-Geiger climate classification map of both the Cukobaian Mainland and Vanugalu.

The landmass of Cukobai is divided between its mainland territory on the continental portion of Lautania and the Vanugalu Islands in the Deris Sea. At 581,875.8 km2 (224,663.5 sq mi), Cukobai is the largest country in Lautania by land area. The mainland is defined by five distinct ecoregions, from west to east - the Derisian (or West Cukobaian) Rainforest, Tikatika High Plateau, Sungailama River Basin, the Tanatinggi, and Pasebasu. While the Derisian and Sungailama Rainforests are actually part of a single contiguous rainforest ecosystem which covers 85.9% of the country's continental landmass, the difference in hydrology makes for significant differences in flora, fauna, and ease of access or settlement by humans. The coastal plains on average extend from 15 to 150 kilometers (9 to 93 mi) from water's edge, though significant variability exists.

The Derisian Rainforest region reaches an average elevation of 90 meters (295 ft) above sea level. It is marked by rolling and hilly terrain, and is exceedingly hot and humid, marked by a short dry season, and is home to some of the wettest places in the world. The coastlines contain a number of major settlements, including the nation's capitol, Bandar Cukobai, and plays host to key fisheries and economic zones. Additionally, the Inner Derisian, sometimes considered part of the Tikatika ecoregion, plays host to the bulk of the nation's coffee-growing operations, one of the country's historic exports. While the presence of agriculture has expanded along the western coastlines in recent years, the overall soil topology of this area is poor for continued cropping, as the topsoil, while carbon-rich and productive, is exceedingly thin and vulnerable to excessive tillage or disturbance, and subsoil zones are largely composed of rock and loose, unstructured sediment.

The Tikatika High Plateau rises from the coastal plains at about 650 meters (2,133 ft) above sea level. The alternation between wet and dry seasons are much more even, allowing for a generally comfortable, less humid climate. Soils here are markedly fertile, and hosts nearly all of the country's livestock and grain farming thanks to this and the region's generally level terrain. Historically, most non-coastal settlements have been established here, thanks to its ease of farming and travel.

The Sungailama River Basin is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, composed of a rich riparian landscape with dipterocarp, swamp, and mangrove rainforests. Peat swamp forests occupy much of the basin's northern coastline. Erosion of the region's limestone bedrock by the Sungailama River and its tributaries have carved a number of dramatic features and karst topography, including some of the world's largest cave systems. However, this is considered an older geographic feature of the continent at large, and thanks to this elevation generally reaches 760 meters (2,493 ft) above sea level at its highest, with greater elevations encircling it to the southwest and east giving way to the Tikatika and Tanatinggi highlands, respectively. This rainforest is considered the wettest area in Lautania, and because of that has historically made mass settlement difficult, with key locales being settled along the Sungailama, as its terminus at Belau makes it critical for regional and global trade. While homesteading further inland has been encouraged by the national government, the practice is often faced with fierce criticism from local indigenous communities and conservationists alike, making any serious attempts at settling new areas in the Sungailama for economic development virtually nonexistent in recent decades.

The Tanatinggi highlands are host to the coolest, most temperate regions of the country, and includes the only true mountains, the Tangatatapu Range which mark a portion of the nation's border with Iuliania, as well as only portions of mainland Cukobai that experience snowfall annually. At 4,095.2 meters (13,436 ft), Gunungputih, sometimes referred to as Mount Bianca abroad (especially by Aesculians), is the highest point in Cukobai. Aside from

The Pasebasu is a low-lying, relatively dry region in comparison to the rest of the nation, which extends from the eastern foot of the Tangatatapus into Iuliania. It is the only portion of the country which experiences monsoon rains, and thanks to its placement in a modest rain shadow, does not experience the same degree of humidity that covers the bulk of the national mainland. This region has the smallest coastal area of all Cukobai's ecoregions at only 28 kilometers (17.39 mi) of shoreline, as the coastal swamps of the Derisian-Sungailama Rainforest system reaches its northernmost extent there. Thanks to its extended dry season, a wider variety of crops can be grown here, including the nation's famous saffron fields, as well as Cukobai's only internationally-recognized wine-producing regions.

Government and Politics

Foreign Relations

Main Article: Foreign relations of Cukobai

Since its establishment as the sole legitimate government of Cukobai in 1914, the foreign policy of the federation has changed dramatically with their geopolitical situation in order to keep a degree of fluidity on the world stage, though there have generally been a tendency towards three overarching priorities. The first is economic and political solidarity with the nations and peoples of Lautania, especially aimed at encouraging the adoption of republican modes of government and development of diverse, stable societies - which Cukobai attempts to foster through consistently acting as a mediator in contentious political or military issues. A special emphasis is placed on maintaining ties with their main ally in efforts in regional decolonization, Whaeamoe, and outreach to independence movements within the neighboring Aesculinese territory of Iuliania. The second is ensuring the safety of trade in the Deris Sea and the Southern Lautan Ocean, and cooperating with other nations and organizations to curb piracy therein. The third is military non-interventionism, especially outside of Lautania, though the nation does not accept irrevocable neutrality as a viable prospect in world politics. Military resources are primarily devoted to acting towards peacekeeping efforts, disaster relief, and securing of the nation's vital waterways, frontiers, and border regions.

Disputed Territorial Claims

Due to its contentious period of suzerainty in the sphere of the Aesculinese Colonial Empire from 1792 to 1914, the modern Cukobaian Federation continues to seek a return of areas settled by ethnic Dusunpans in Iuliania during the peak of the Sultanate period, which were gradually taken as part of concessions for the War of 1866 and as part of the Belau Agreement at the close of the Second Cukobaian Revolution and reestablished Cukobaian independence. Additionally, the Agreement established the nation of Whaeamoe as an independent republic, though its status as a formerly integrated region of the Sultanate has led some Cukobaian irridentists, as well as anarchist groups within Whaeamoe to seek a reunion of these nations.

Separatist and Irridentist Movements

Internally, ethno-nationalists have sought to carve their own independent states from the Federation, or to rejoin other nation-states, both throughout the history of the nation and presently. Nearly every ethnic community in Cukobai has a fringe movement that has participated towards the completion of one of these aims, though among the most prominent since the establishment of the Federation have been Dusunpan supremacists and Indigenous nationalists.

The Black Days in particular, which rocked the nation in the 1940s and was a major precipitating incident in the reorganization of Cukobai into its modern constitutional form, was instigated by a far-right Dusunpan extremist organization known as the Princely Army which triggered a brief border war with Aesculinese security forces in Iuliania, This exchange was intended to create a new Sultanate in Lautania modeled after the short-lived [X] military junta which existed contemporaneously with the chain of aborted revolts. It is for this reason that irridentist movements for the annexation of Dusunpan-majority regions of Iuliania are often dismissed as fringe (and often dangerous) beliefs for its linkage to the Black Days.

Veigalun peoples, which were often the most targeted by the Princely Army during the Black Days, as well as by centuries of abuse under the Sultanate, felt that the anarchist government as established under the 1910 Universal Declaration of Human Liberty had failed to prevent historic mistreatment by colonial Dusunpans and Aesculinese, and sought to establish their own ethno-states which would remove the offending colonial populations and influences, an effort largely focused on the island of Vanugalu. In 1951, a united Veigalun Liberation Army seized a Black Army weapons cache and dockyard located in Nakeba, prompting the beginnings of the Vanugalu War, a fierce guerrilla campaign which caused significant damage to the economy and reputation of the still-developing Federation. The conflict was brought to a ceasefire and peace agreement following the ratification of the 1953 Constitution, when greater protections for non-Dusunpan minorities and anti-discriminatory educational programs were given high priority under the new government arrangement. However, protests among Veigalun people have endured over the years due to historic underemployment and other economic hardships, as well as land developments which conflicted with the authority of local governments, most notably in and around the Gunungangin region of Vanugalu, where a number of research facilities and tourist areas have been developed over the latter half of the 20th Century. Because of the disdain of the locals for non-Veigaluns, this has become an area rife with anti-federalists, with some theorizing that such attitudes were responsible for the dissapearances and supposed deaths of 60 scientists from Huajiang and the Cukobaian mainland at the Barupertama Observatory in July of 2019.

The 1953 Cukobaian Constitution is the basis for all laws in the United Revolutionary Federation of Cukobai. Developed in the aftermath of the Black Days and Vanugalu War in 1953, the Constitution was developed in recognition of the failings of the original Universal Declaration of Human Liberty and Revolutionary Common Law, as cited by the Revolutionary Committee for Reconciliation and Progress from their investigations into the causes of the conflicts.

The Committee stated the codes' shortcomings included failures to protect vulnerable and historically-disadvantaged populations, increasing isolation of communities, and a near-inability to adequately coordinate resources and funding on a national or even regional level. Upon their report to the Combined Revolutionary Assemblies in February of 1953, the National Directorate authorized the establishment of the Revolutionary Committee for National Reform, a panel of respected Cukobaian statesmen and political theorists from around the world which was placed in charge of developing a new constitution which "married the spirit and ideals of 1911 with the practical needs of a modern developing society". The resulting document codified and formalized a number of pre-existing legal practices in the Federation, as well as implementing a number of measures to develop its modern form of semi-direct democracy. This kept Cukobai's original mode of council democracy with an emphasis on local government, while also creating the current framework of national government that granted regional and federal-level authorities the necessary powers and procedures needed to effectively govern. Accompanying these political reforms were broad protections for minorities in the country, and guarantees for human rights not originally included in the UDHL of 1914.

Article XIV: Amendments to the Constitution

Amendments to the Constitution of the United Revolutionary Federation may be proposed by:

  • A motion to amend by the Regional Majlis of at least 1/4 of all Districts and Federal Cities in the nation, accompanied by at least 250,000 valid signatures from among the electorate within 18 months of of its presentation to the National Majlis.;
  • A motion to amend by members of the National Majlis which achieves a simple majority and subsequent majority vote by the Federal Majlis within 18 months of its presentation;
  • A motion to amend via popular initiative, if it obtains valid signatures from at least 15% of the national electorate within 18 months of its presentation.

If one of these conditions are reached, a Constitutional Session of the Combined Assemblies is called, in which both the Federal and National Majlis is required to achieve a supermajority during the session to immediately pass. If this does not occur, the proposed amendment may be put to a national popular vote during the next cycle of general elections, to which it only requires a simple majority to pass. If the proposed amendment is achieved by process of popular initiative, no vote is required during the Constitutional Session, but instead may immediately go to ballot following deliberations in the Combined Assemblies to refine and revise the proposal.

Chiumism (Originally from Lisanic קיומות, Qiyyūmūt, "Chium" via Old Chalcian and Fiorentine) is the ethnic religion of the Chimish peoples. It is an ancient, pantheistic and monlatric religion which shares common origins with early forms of both Alydianism and Irsad. It encompasses the religion, philosophy, and many foundational social mores of the Echsish peoples around the world, who view Chiumism as a concord between themselves and Emhakkol (sometimes simply "Em"), which is viewed as the living essence of the universal soul, and is both transcendent and immanent in all of the body of creation, which itself is Emhakkol. Emhakkol speaks through the Malakim, worldly incarnations of her will which seek to bring knowledge and prosperity through their teachings, who often act through prophetic figures known as Silihim. It is a vast range of beliefs and practices, composed of a wide body of texts, theological and cultural schools of thought, and forms of social organization. Its chief text is the Hitglot, a collections of holy texts assembled around the year 1000 BCE, which is further supplemented by other oral traditions later codified over the centuries, including the Mispats, which are worldly laws for individuals and communities, and Duhots, which are writings of recognized Silihim, respected Lenchwits (priests) and other scholars of the faith produced following the fall of . Much of the religion's liturgical development beyond the Hitglot and First Mispat occurred following the breakdown of the old Echsid homeland surrounding the city of Gatt, and spread of the diaspora throughout the Sifhar, Catai, Eastern Asura, and North Arabekh.

Within Chiumism is a multitude of religious traditions, nearly all of which are rooted in the traditions of Esnogaic Chiumism, the preeminent form of the faith since around the 5th Century CE. This set of traditions teaches that the contents of the Hitglot was bestowed by eight Malakim upon eight craftsmen of various trades in the village of Carmel (believed to reside in modern-day Fahran) over the course of 45 days, thus making the Hitglot immutable and divine in nature. These craftsmen, called the Habbanim Habbahurim, or Chosen Sons, became prophetic figures considered archetypes for the core virtues and practices of the Chimish peoples in both their religious and day-to-day lives. Furthermore, the Esnogaic tradition teaches the importance of community and the need to foster cooperation between peoples in order for individuals to live a spiritually whole existence. As such, Esnogaic tradition stresses that while not all may serve the cause of Emhakkol, those who do must serve all as they would with one another.

Over the years, especially among Togacien communities of Central and Southeastern Asura, numerous further offshoots were forged, including Humanistic branches of the faith, which often feature nontheism. Today, the largest branches of the faith are Orthodox Chiumism, Conservative Chiumism, and Modernist Chiumism (including Liberated Echsidism and Akhsdotism). The largest divides between these groups come in the form of differences on proselytizing and conversion of persons outside of the traditional Chimish Diaspora, the authority of Esnogaic Traditions and the presence of an overarching religious heirarchy, the role of the Lenchwit in religious and community life, and the significance of Carmelism in social, political, and spiritual discourse. Orthodox communities stress the immutability and divinity of the Hitglot and other core texts, as well as the primacy of autocephalous religious structures which oversee their respective nation's adherents. Conservative branches tend to disdain highly organized and codified religious structures, instead viewing each congregation as an independent entity which, while sharing similar backgrounds, beliefs, and rituals, are ultimately required to adapt to the specific needs of each community within traditionally-set lines of conduct. Modernists, however, see traditional law less as restrictions set on individuals from a religious standpoint and instead as cultural touchstones which are universally applicable, and often do not require nearly as much devotion to ritual as their Orthodox and Conservative counterparts. As such, the Lenchwit is typically the preeminent authority on the faith and observance of canon law and interpretation of the Hitglot in most cases, save for in the Orthodox Community, which conform to a more universal dogma set by the Great Synod, a gathering of the heads of the National Esnogas which occurs every eight years in Yarouq, Fahran.

History

Theology

Chiumist theology is based around the pursuit of the three Great Works of the Malakim: Harmony, Knowledge, and Righteousness, which are to be undertaken in three paths in relation to the practitioner: within, without, and beyond, which are meant to encourage efforts towards the Great Works in one's self, one's community, and the world at large, respectively. In the Esnogaic Tradition, The Great Works are not meant to be completed so much as undertaken throughout one's life, believing that they are crucial to maintaining the health of the body of Emhakkol, synonymous with the whole of the universe, portions seen and unseen.

Scriptures

Practices

The Great Works

The Nine Precepts

Chiumists observe nine moral precepts or duties which are considered core tenets of the practitioner's life inside and out of their practice of the faith. They include:

  1. Observing truthfulness and veracity of thought, word, and deed, and detestation of falsehood.
  2. Providing unconditional protection, support, and mutual aid to other Chiumists.
  3. Recognizing the immutable truth of the Hitglot and renouncing all invalid creeds and idolatry in public and in secret.
  4. Celebrating and defending the universal oneness of all peoples in acceptance of Emhakkol's eternal and universal wisdom.
  5. Contemplating and seeking out the Great Works in all aspects of life.
  6. Combatting idleness, waste, and self-pollution in all aspects of life.
  7. Safeguarding the sacred spark of life imbued within all beings, and avoiding the needless taking of lives or bringing of harm to others.
  8. Respecting the personal agency of individuals over themselves and their property, providing that they do not act in violation of the Precepts and Scripture.
  9. Ensuring the practice of a just and pious life in accordance with the Precepts and Scripture in all aspects of life, and promoting these essential mores in public and in secret.

The practice of Zhurvat (Lisanic זהירות, literally "prudence, caution") is a custom of concealing or obfuscating religious doctrine, often observed among more conservative or esoteric branches of the faith, and in areas where Chiumists and Chimish peoples face persecution. This is utilized to protect outsiders and the uninitiated from access to sacred wisdom which could be misunderstood by those unready or unwilling to receive the teachings therein. In areas where Chimish peoples are a vulnerable population, Zhurvat states that it is not considered a sin to violate the First Precept in order to keep one's self, family, and community safe from harm. As such, some areas may actually contain higher populations of Chimish individuals than are actually recorded in official census information, as they may declare themselves to practice Alydianism or Irsad, secretly meshing Chiumist beliefs with these more accepted faiths, sometimes developing communities which vary radically between national lines.

Watuunguvu Automotive Group Limited, or simply Watuunguvu Auto (formerly Watuunguvu-Mwiga Automotive Industry Enterprises) is a Marensaise State-owned automotive design and manufacturing company headquartered in Mwiga, with multinational operations primarily centered in other nations in Majula and Arabekh. The company has the highest production output of any automaker in Majula. Beyond standard passenger vehicles, Watuunguvu is also the largest manufacturer of passenger busses in Majula, unique for creating models designed to withstand rough road conditions found in some of the more disparate parts of its home country. This eye for developing for undeveloped areas and those in need for a truly durable vehicle in general has granted it significant global appeal, especially in other less-developed nations.

The origins of Watuunguvu can be found in the early days of the Marensaise auto industry during the immediate aftermath of the Marensaise Long War, where international sanctions on the pre-war minority government forced the beginnings of domestic industry, which were quickly seized as major strategic assets by the budding revolution shortly after the conflict's commencement. Following the war, Watuunguvu was officially founded as the Mwiga Engine Company in 1959 when the Veleazean Regional Industry Minister, Damián Ureña, approved plans to develop a jointly-owned auto company with the young nation, paving the way for the development of the longest-running Marensaise-Foreign Joint Venture in the Industry. Notable brands developed today by Watuunguvu beyond its flagship line include Haboob, a major global off-road vehicle designer, which today is the primary sponsor of the famous Deux-Capitale Rally-Raid, and Flacqadhama, currently the only luxury car designer operating in Marensoald.
