Nooooooooooooooo, officially, the Federation of Nooooooooooooooo (Kloom: Federatija (pronounced: fedrːateːja) Nooooooooooooooo), is a nation in the region of 10000 Islands. It has forests, mountains, cities, and an eco-friendly government. It is located in the north of the region, an archipelago, and is bordered on the south by Skratmalatis. The official capital is Salabrachon, named after William Sala, 1st President, and brachon meaning city, so Salabrachon translates to Sala City. Although some locals might even say that the capital is Gomona City, that is just the largest city.
It is very well known that Nooooooooooooooo has a large economy, averageness rating, and to some extent, taxation, which Nooooooooooooooo is ranked 255th in the region for. It is common to see people on the sidewalks dancing, and flowers blooming in the rural areas. Some might even say that people are "Especially Intelligent," but Nooooooooooooooo is only ranked 514th in 10000 Islands.
The Federation is a member of the World Assembly, and has alliances with a few nations. According to the International Power Classification Organisation, Nooooooooooooooo is ranked as a Small Power, and as a Secondary Power by the International Power Index.
Etymology
When Skratmalatis came over from Nova Historiae, they found land with indigenous people on it. The people screeched the word No (Indigenous god of wealth) only at a certain time, every day. The colonists called the land Nooooooooooooooo Territory, and since a double o makes an ou sound, as in you, the called them Noons, and this just happened to be the time that they would scream. This made perfect sense to the Skratmalatians, so the name was since kept until today.
History
After Skratmalatis came over and Dubbed it 'Noon Territory,' The Noons thought that Skratmalatians had a bit too much power, therefore started a revolution. The Noon War of Independence, or The Noon Revolution spanned about 2 months. The nation has gone under nine names since.
The Territory of Nooooooooooooooo was the name of Nooooooooooooooo for a brief 2 months before The Principality of Nooooooooooooooo came into existence. In 1847, it was renamed to The Republic of Nooooooooooooooo until 1856 when Nooooooooooooooo was under occupation by and then a State of Skratmalatis for a brief period during the War of the Brothers because of the heavy economic ties between the two nations. From 1857 to 1967, a Federal Republic, and from 1967 to 2000 it was a communist republic when the communist party won, and from 2000 to now it was dubbed the Federation of Nooooooooooooooo.
Early Tribes
It is speculated that from around 800 BCE to around 450 BCE, the Volcanic Archipelago was completely frozen over down to the top quarter of 10000 Islands. Then the early tribes may have walked over to the VA chain, where they stayed until today. The earliest fossils we have from these early tribes are from around 500 BCE, and that is where archaeologists speculate the tribes got there.
The Early Tribes of Nooooooooooooooo were made of of 4 physical groups: The Mountains, The Rivers, The Plains, and The Coast Tribes. The Mountains Tribes were mainly peaceful with themselves. The River tribes were outgoing. They like other tribes that were friendly with them. The Plains and Coastal Tribes, were mainly kept to themselves, but invited most who came. But after the Skratmalatians came in, and drove the tribes out, they became confined to one area, all interacting with each other.
In 1785-1787, sailors discovered islands around what is now the VA. They reported 'ghostly screams', but it is said now that they heard the tribes' Noon screaming.
Territory
The name "Noon Territory" comes from the name that Skratmalatian explorers gave the land, specifically Jacob Sorír. Later, after the 1827 Revolution, they renamed it to the Territory of Nooooooooooooooo. This name lived for only 2 months, and now it has become obsolete.
Principality
The Principality of Nooooooooooooooo lived a bit longer from 1827 to 1847. William Sala changed the name from the Territory to the Principality because he considered The Territory of Nooooooooooooooo an offensive name. When Jonas Conakija came into power, he renamed it to the Republic.
Republic
The Republic of Nooooooooooooooo was the name from 1847 to 1856. During this period, The War of the Brothers broke out, and Jonas Conakija had passed certain laws, but in 1856, he died, leaving William Sala as the President.
Occupied Republic
When Skratmalatis reached Salabrachon, the Noon and Skratmalatian governments shook hands and agreed to rename the nation to The Occupied Republic. The two leaders agreed that Skratmalatis would not declare Nooooooooooooooo as a state.
Skratmalatian State
In 1857, however, The Skratmalatians broke the treaty and declared Nooooooooooooooo a state. This led to major controversy between the two nations, thus continuing the War. President Marc Straus declared war once again on Skratmalatis.
Federal Republic
The name of Federal Republic lived from 1857 to 1967 for 110 years; the longest living name. During this period, there was a lot of action, including World War I, World War II, and several protests during The Great Depression.
Communist Republic
The Communist Republic lasted from 1967 to 2000 after a wave of communism came after Josef Stalin met with Speaker of the State of Salabrachon, Thomas Williams, in 1933. Despite being the first communist leader, the title of Communist Republic only started when Coda Tal Jr. renamed the country in 1967. Darrel Stomana, the first leader from the liberal party during this time, was quickly overthrown due to a communist majority in the Senate and Salabrachon Parliament. In 1994, Barry Maxman was elected, who abolished the pretitle of Communist Republic in 2000.
Federation
After 2000, when Barry Maxman changed the name, no party has been elected besides the Liberal Party. But on March 9th, 2019, the State of Starmana tried to break away, in protest of the six-month ban on computers, which significantly dropped the scientific advancement sector. But now, an agreement has been made and Starmana has been reintegrated.
Geography
The Federation of Nooooooooooooooo in total spans around 200,000 sq. miles, though the land percentage is only about 74.2%. There are 17 states and all of them have representatives in the Speakership. The City of Salabrachon has it's own sector, and there are 13 representatives, one for each district of the capital. Salabrachon is not the largest city however, that title goes to Gomona City, the so-called "Capital" of Nooooooooooooooo. There are so many people in the country saying that Gomona City is the capital, it has even been nicknamed 'the local capital.' Nooooooooooooooo is on a volcanic island chain called the Islánd a Volcanocija (English: Volcanic Islands). The tallest non-extinct volcano is Mount Correalo (Kloom: Móntá Correalo). The tallest volcano in general though, is Conakija Mountain. The biggest island is named Sala Island, after William Sala. The smallest island is named Williams island after Thomas Williams, a famous writer and (although they are not proud of it,) the first leader of the communist party in 1860. This was the first and only communist stretch in the nation at this point. It was also the peak of the communist party in the Seats of Nooooooooooooooo. Nooooooooooooooo is also the birthplace of the region's oldest still-standing lighthouse, Marapolís Lighthouse, Mara meaning sea, and polís meaning police. The term 'seapolice' was coined by the novelist John Hartman in his book, The Elevated Valley; one of three only books of his written in English, along with 101 Years of America and 1825.
Elevation
The lowest point, Dramana Basin (Dramana meaning "dry"), is at 52 meters below sea level, the lowest point in the VA. This is also the site of only one percent of deaths in Nooooooooooooooo and Skratmalatis. Sometimes, people go out on the side of the road to dig down a foot or two to make it farther below sea level. A recent study showed that an average of five people go out to dig only once every decade. But the highest point in all of Nooooooooooooooo, would go to the 100,000 foot Conakija Mountain. This mountain is the region's tallest, and is at one of the ends of The Elevated Valley, and is only 100,000 feet above sea level. The base of the mountain is 50,000 feet below sea level. The entire mountain is 150,000 feet tall, but people pile rocks up at the top to make it taller, so, the mountain is 150,010 tall, and people unofficially piling rocks up each month. Unofficially, the mountain is 150,027 feet tall.

Voting System
The voting system for Noooooooooooooo has two main parties: Liberal and Conservative. The Liberal Party wins in just about every major metropolitan area, and the Conservative Party has only one in one major metro area: Salabrachon. Yes, in 1938, the Communist Party beat the Liberal Party, and the Conservative Party beat the Green Party. The Communist Party went against the Conservative Party. Liberal citizens did not vote in Salabrachon, therefore, the Conservatives won in the capital city. The other states voted overwhelmingly Communist, before gerrymandering was fixed, and so the Communists won in Nooooooooooooooo. More recently, however, the Liberal Party has gotten an eleven-year stretch.
The Federation of Nooooooooooooooo has a type of electoral system known as Proportional representation. Once a candidate has reached the majority of votes and can hold the lead until voting ends, that candidate wins. They also have a system known as devolution. This means that government is split up into four powers: Federal, Statial, County, and City. Federal Government takes care of laws and bills, as well as international affairs and foreign relations. Statial Government takes care of Gubernatorial elections, state highways, vehicle registration, and Speaker elections. County Government takes care of roads, unincorporated neighborhoods, Senator elections, and watershed protection. City Government takes care of city roads, pipes, paths, building construction, City Council and Mayoral elections, and garbage collection.

There are many nations with embassies in the Federation such as: Inkopolitia, Pan-Asiatic States, Brightlake, Ceranapis, -Astoria, Dabberwocky, and The Scarlet Eagle. However, the nation also has embassies abroad, such as in Brightlake, Pan-Asiatic States, and The Scarlet Eagle.
Demographics
The nation has approximately 4.5 Billion Noons and that rate is expected to double by May 2021. The nation is expected to have 5 billion citizens by March 2020.

This action was passed by Steven Rilo in December of 2017, and the action will take place on March 25th, 2020.

Other electricity sources are from vast natural gas and coal reserves, and from power plants in Gaht. Some 43% of Nooooooooooooooo's transportation sector uses fuel, although rising costs have led to a development in green energy.
