Ö (Ö: Öö [IPA]), officially Greater Ö, is a country situated on the Miralayan Plateau. Traditionally, Ö has been extremely isolated from the modern world, both from lack of resources and interest, as the country is largely traditional in its culture and values.
Etymology
The name Ö is thought to derive from the East Mahavic root *eürä, meaning dusk or evening.
History
Pre-Sunrise Horde
Before the mass migration of Jovic peoples that make up the vast majority of Ö’s modern population, the Miralayan Plateau was split between various Mahavic and Pre-Mahavic groups, such as the Mooi, the Tiengics, and X. The Mooic peoples were by far the most dominant group before the invasion of the Sunrise Horde, dominating much of the Koma river and the plateau surrounding, though they did not stretch all the way to the northern coast. The Tiengic peoples also remained dominant within the southern mountains bordering modern day Temay. Though many different Tiengic groups existed, the most historically dominant within the area has usually been the X. The Tiengics existed as primarily separate from the peoples of the plateau before the invasion of the Sunrise Horde, and the subsequent and frequent subjugation by Ö warlords.
Kingdom of X
In the late 10th century, the Mooic kingdom of X came to power within the region, dominating most of the eastern plateau and eventually conquering all the way to the Cakar. This large semi-nomadic kingdom operated as a confederacy of influential clan groups. X.
Sunrise Horde
With the rapid expansion of the Sunrise Horde in the 12th century, the old order in the Miralayan Plateau began to collapse, as the Kingdom of X was utterly destroyed for resisting Galkhai. With the destruction of the kingdom, and the mass migration of Jovic peoples, the cultural makeup and traditional power structure of the plateau shifted towards a more Mahavo-centric identity. X
1942 Revolution and Counter-revolution
By 1942, Balkism had become popular amongst the urban populations of Ö, leading for calls to end the backwards practice of monarchy. X. In Spring of 1942, emboldened by the victory of pro-democracy militias in Temay the year prior, various Balkists and other pro-democracy groups launched the Ö Revolution. The capital of X was quickly occupied with little resistance, and the King offered to negotiate with the revolutionaries. X. The traditional clans and nobility of Ö, angry with the incompetence of the King and his willingness to negotiate with the revolutionaries, launched the Ö Counter-revolution later that year. After brief bloodshed, the Monarch was expelled, and the government reformed into its current state as a Semi-elective Diarchy.

Government
Ö is a semi-elective diarchy, with two co-ruling positions acting as the leaders of the country. There is the position of X and the positions of X, acting as spiritual and military leaders of authority respectively. While the two positions are separate, it is possible for one person to hold both positions at once, usually with the spiritual leader being elected to the military position. Both positions serve for life.
The military leader is elected from X electors, and while there are no formal restrictions on who can be elected to the position, it is usually somebody amongst the electorate or another government official. Each elector is from an electoral division that does not always correspond to the administrative division. The military leader is usually responsible for the anything relating to the defense or military operations of Ö, though they also hold significant political sway within the political system. The spiritual leader is known as the reincarnation of Galkhai, and thus can only be female. The selection process for determining the reincarnation usually consists of X, administered by a group of trusted advisors to the previous spiritual leader. There is no age requirement for the position, though usually the age is the same as the time passed since the previous X died. Electors are usually elected by the families/clans that reside within the local electoral district, electors do not serve as legislators, their role is purely to elect the most capable to the position of military leader. This system has always traditionally existed in Ö, though the role of military leader was greatly diminished until the 1942 Ö Counter-revolution, where the hereditary rule of the Kingdom of Ö was fully dismantled.
Legislatively, Ö has a bicameral legislature, divided into the Elder and Younger Councils. The Younger Council is made up of family leaders, specifically, one must be a married man or woman above the age of X to serve in the Younger Council. The are elected from amongst the families of their respective X (administrative district), and serve for X years with unlimited terms. The Elder Council is made up exclusively of clan leaders from among the registered Ö Clans, unlike the Younger Council, the Elder Council is unelected, and does not have a set size, any clan leader is granted the right to serve in the Elder Council.

Demographics
Ethnic groups
The Ö people make up a majority of the country’s population. First settling in the Miralayan plateau in the 12th century CE, Ö people make up a majority of the population and dominate the Miralayan Plateau. Many Ö people are traditionally nomadic, hunting and foraging within the rough terrain for survival, and the Ö government does much to protect this tradition. X
