Cananganam is a Naguan State predominantly populated by Asuranesians.
Etymology
The believed source of Cananganam's name comes from a Proto-Asuranesian word meaning “black” *kneʔ-n, referring to the fertile jungle soils of Cananganam.
History
See also: History of Cananganam
Cananganam was originally settled by hunter-gatherer peoples during the early neolithic era, generally assumed to be the Hisirudic peoples. These hunter-gatherer societies likely subsisted on local fauna and flora such as bananas, deer and fish with some evidence of animal husbandry in the form of pigs and chickens, although some scholars consider the introduction of pigs to the Hisirudic peoples to coincide with the Asuranesian expansions. Evidence indicating the use of smaller-scale boats than their Asuranesian neighbors, points towards a demand for large scale fishing among these early peoples where possible, as nets, tools made of either stone or bone, and hooks dating back as far as 3000 BC have been discovered along the coasts of some of Cananganam's interior lakes.
Prehistory
Around 2500 BC, the Cananganamese had begun to create larger scale settlements along the coast during their migration, driving the native hunter-gatherers inland. The complexity of these early Cananganamese societies in was considerably higher than that of the preceding Hisirudic communities. Through the introduction of agriculture, slash-and-burn practices became widespread to make way for the production of farmland needed to fulfill the needs of the growing Cananganamese population, ultimately changing the local biosphere and societies in the process. Evidence of trade with mainland Boroso lies in early glassworks from this period as the compositions of these pieces often include natron, commonly found along the west coast of Boroso.
There is strong evidence that craftsmanship exploded in form and diversity during the era of the early Cananganamese kingdoms, as materials such as bronze, lead, gold, jade, mercury, and diamonds were utilized in extravagant art forms, paving the path for many cultural developments and the establishment of an early caste system, where those wealthy enough to afford these extravagances were held in higher regard over those who only held wealth in name or in the shape of land. Glasswork was exceptionally prized during this period for its appeal as a gem and was seen as being a reflection of the world's energy, leading to several Cananganamese myths regarding the material.
