Description[?]:

--OVERVIEW--

The Confederation is known by all three of the names "New Endralon", "Kizenia" and "Kuzaki" and is unique due to the history of strife between its three dominant ethnic groups: the New Endralonians, the Kizenians and the Kuzaki. The Kizenians were the first people to settle in the modern-day Confederation, believed to have arrived from Deltaria sometime before the common era. Later, around 700 CE, a group of originally Gao-Showa related people arrived in the country from what is suspected to be Dovani. The Kuzaki, as they are known, are believed to be closely related to the Mu-Tze people although their culture has a distinctly Kerisian influence. In the 1700s, the Endralonian empire conquered regions of the country and settlers arrived from the country. Eventually, the colonial era came to an end but the descendants of these colonists became the New Endralonians (also known as Zyldavians). For several centuries, tensions between these three groups were constant and there appeared to be never-ending conflict. Nonetheless, the Confederation has been devised as a way to ensure stability without damaging the cultural identity of each ethnic group.

--POLITICAL HISTORY--
The Confederation is known by all three of the names "New Endralon", "Kizenia" and "Kuzaki" and is unique due to the history of strife between its three dominant ethnic groups: the New Endralonians, the Kizenians and the Kuzaki. This strive has led to the formation of various nations established by mainly the New Endralonians and Kizenians. To solve the political chaos the three ethnic groups decided that the formation of an inclusive state in which neither ethnicity dominates the other was the best way forward. Thus the Confederation of New Endralon, Kizenia and Kuzaki was founded. Over time this confederation was broken by civil strife between the ethnicities for it only to be restored later on.
In RP it is advised to take into account that the New Endralonians and Kizenians are warry of each other and that the Kuzaki are often the middle man in the fight, trying to keep the peace, siding with either side to keep the peace. Albeit being distinct cultures with their own languages, the three ethnicities have more culturally in common than they would care to admit.

--POPULATION HISTORY--
The original inhabitants of New Endralon/Kizenia were an offshoot of the Kozak people of Trigunia, if they originated from mainland Keris or from Trigunia is unknown. They spoke a Kozak-related language (Ruthanian or Ukrainian). They were partially displaced and partially assimilated by the migrating people from Dovani who with their influenced formed the Kizenian people. Who formed their own language (Romanian) from the original language they spoke with heavy influences from the natives. They quickly outnumbered the natives and settled most of the land and have been the plurality ethnicity since then.

In 700 to 900 CE various displaced Goa-Showa tribes believed to be Mu-Tze people arrived in waves over the years in Kizenia. Conquering the disunited lands and displacing peoples and settling the area we now call Endrafold/Kuzaki and Zyldavia/Sodali. During this time these provinces were predominantly Kozak-dominated with only a few Kizenians living there. Around 900 to 950 CE the migrations had stopped and the cultural interactions between the Kozak and Mu-Tze people led to the gradual adoption of the Kozak language and cultural integration of both groups, founding the Kuzaki people which spoke a distinct language (Bulgarian) by 1000 CE from the Kozak language (Ukrainian).

In the 1700’s CE the Endralonian Empire invaded Kizenia and colonised it for their empire. They quickly settled the areas of Kuzaki and Sodali and renamed it Endrafold and Zyldavia. The Endralonian settlers named their new land ‘New Endralon’. The settlers found the lands dominated by the Kuzaki people who they largely displaced (or in some cases integrated into their society over time) to the province of Kutohaderia, a largly mountainous and previously scarcely populated province. These settlers over time became known as New Endralonians and spoke a distinct dialect of the Endralonian Syldavian language (Hungarian), named Zyldavian (Hungarian). Through assimilation, migration and cultural oppression the New Endralonians became the second largest ethnicity. After the Endralonian Empire ended the New Endralonians and Kizenians started to fight for dominance of the nation.

Kizenian is the dominant language of the nation, it being spoken as a first language or second language by most people, but especially the Kizenian poplution. The Zyldavian language is a dialect of the Syldavian language of Endralon, it is mostly spoken by the New Endralonians. It is the second most spoken language in the nation by both first and second language speakers. The Kuzaki language is a minority language mostly spoken only in Kutohaderia by the Kuzaki people. People of mixed decent speak mostly Kizenian and often Zyldavian as a second language.

--NAMING--

Character names should, by default, reflect the ethnic breakdown of the nation. With that said, some feel that they wish to focus on a particular group and this is absolutely acceptable provided that it is reasonably justified using role-play.
