Ngutan (Ngutanese: Jutaâneâha, tr. Ngutānēha, IPA: [ŋu.taː'neː.hã]), officially the Republic of Ngutan (Ngutanese: Wuo^ Jutaâneâha, tr. Wuō Ngutānēha, IPA: [wu'oː ŋu.taː'neː.hã]), is a country located in the southern region of Upper Boroso, bordering the Asura Ocean to the west. At 575,491 km2 (222,198 sq. mi), Ngutan is the ??th largest country in the world by area.

Ngutan has a population of around 23 million, with 1 million of those being located in the capital, Nāwongu, and 4 million being located in the largest city, Nāusayo, which used to be the previous capital of Ngutan before it was moved to Nāwongu in the 1992 geopolitical reform of Ngutan. Ngutan is fairly homogeneous, with 97% of the population being Ngutanese native and speaking the Ngutanese language, which is also Ngutan’s national language.

Ngutan’s territory comprises of mostly grassland, with a large desert being located in the country’s northern region. The southern region is filled with lakes of varying sizes, and the land near them has been settled by humans for millennia, due to their location nearby an obvious source of water. Because of that, the area of the lakes has been warred by multiple Ngutanese tribes and kingdoms for a very long time.

History

The first Ngutan people, known as Pre-Ngutanese, are presumed to have emigrated from Nagu, and pushing out the Proto-Upper-Borosans already located there.

Prehistory

The Ngutanese people were partly hunter-gatherer and partly agricultural, living in and around the modern territory of Ngutan, specially the Lakes area, with a multitude of tribes located on the floodplains of rivers.

Onāyasamās era

At around 1000 BCE, the tribes began organizing themselves into onāyasamās, roughly meaning “two-chiefdom”, in which a chiefdom is managed by both the eldest man and the eldest woman in the tribe at the time. This form of goverment is strongly linked to Warisuist practices of a “two-shaman”. In this era, numerous onāyasamās formed, and many merged and split up due to rivalry and warfare over resources; at one point, records say more than two thousand onāyasamās existed, distributed all over the territory of modern Ngutan.

One specific rivalry was between the onāyasamās located within the Lakes area versus the ones located within the Peninsular area, which gave way to the Kingdoms era, as the onāyasamās merged to become stronger.

Diarchies era

At around 350 BCE, the numerous onāyasamās were getting unstable due to the rivalries between all the onāyasamās. Four diarchies were created by the merging of onāyasamās: the Kingdom of Sayaisa, located in the Ngutanese Peninsula; the Kingdom of Kōyan, located in the Ngutanese Lakes area; the Kingdom of Yunaipoa, in the Keoyun Yunaipoa island; and the Kingdom of Nēamū, located in Northern and West Ngutan. In this process, the monarch lineage system was changed from the eldest members of the diarchy to primogeniture, in which one monarch was male and the other was female.

These diarchies follow the same principle of government of the onāyasamās, with two people holding the title of monarch, and governing jointly. However, the diarchies became more politically organised, and an Assembly of the People was installed in each diarchy, in which any inhabitant of the diarchy could vote on acts which would either be accepted and executed by the monarchs, or denied by the monarchs. This is the foundation of the original Ngutanese democracy.

Geography

At 575,491.52 square kilometres (222,198.52 sq mi), Ngutan is the world’s ??th largest country and Boroso’s ??th largest country. The territory of Ngutan is mostly included in the Ngutanese Peninsula and a few islands in the Asura Ocean. It lies between latitudes 35°S and 22°S, and longitudes 72°E and 61°E.

Geology

Ngutanese’s geology is quite varied. Most of the country sits atop the Ngutanese Plateau, ranging from 500 meters to 1500 meters high, with most of the mountains located in the south-central area of the peninsula or in the extreme north at the border with Mekaneli. The eastern part of the country is an exception to that; it is not on top of the plateau, but instead is filled with lakes, including the major Lake Aipoa, clocking in at 18,088.65 km2 of area. The north and northwestern part of the country are composed of flat or rolling hills with rocky formations.

Climate

Ngutan has a somewhat varied climate, that can be subdivided into three zones:

  • The cold desert climate (BWk), predominant in the northern, northwestern and central areas, where the Ngutanese Desert is located. It is characterised by hot, dry summers and cold, dry winters. This area has a lot less people compared to the wetter areas.
  • The cold semi-arid climate (BSk), covering a band in the central area of the country serving as a divide between the desert and the wetter areas. It is characterized by warm, dry summers and cold, wet winters, with exceptional wetness in spring and autumn.
  • The warm-summer mediterranean climate (CSb), predominant in the south and southeast of the country. It is characterized by warm (but not hot), dry summers, with wet, cold winters. Most people live in this area.

There is also a thin area of hot desert climate (BWh) in the extreme north of the country almost at the border with Mekaneli, but in most cases that area can be ignored due to its small size and that there are very few people living there.

Politics

Ngutan is a consitutional republic with a parliamentary system of government, where the President of Ngutan is the head of state and the Prime Minister of Ngutan is the head of government. A President is elected every six years, who then appoints a Prime Minister. The katīne is the legislative body (parliament) of Ngutan, and all of its 300 members are proportionally elected every four years.

Parliament

Ngutan has an unicameral Parliament, also known as the katīne. It is the only legislative body of the government, and may alter the constitution, enact new ordinary laws, override presidential vetoes, dismiss the cabinet, and so on. The acts of parliament are subject to a judicial review by the Judicial branch of Government, who affirm the constitutionality of enacted laws. The parliament is elected every four years through party-list proportional representation using the D’Hondt method. Ngutan is subdivided into demographically determined electoral constituencies, wherein each constituency elects a minimum of X members of parliament and a maximum of Y members of parliament.

Administrative divisions

Ngutan is an unitary state composed of municipalities, which are slotted into 7 regions, used only for statistical purposes. Each municipality has a council-manager government, where a council is elected by the people and answers only to the people.

Demographics

Ngutan’s population is 23,019,700 as determined by the 2015 census, with a population density of exactly 40/km² (15.444/sq mi). The distribution of people accross the country is rather unequal, due to climate and historical constraints; most people inhabit the areas of the south and southeast where the climate is more pleasant.

The Ngutanese society is quite homogeneous, composed of 96.3% ethnic Ngutanese, with the remaining being various immigrants from other countries, mainly from Boroso.

Urbanisation

Ngutan is a heavily urbanised country, with 79% of its inhabitants living within urban areas.

Language

The official language of Ngutan is Ngutanese, and more than 99% of people speak it as their first language, and not being able to speak Ngutanese is illegal if you are living in Ngutan. Ngutanese is a fusional language with a peculiar morphosyntactic alignment called the Austronesian alignment, which distinguishes the language from any other in Sahar.

Education

Education in Ngutan is a mix of public and private schools, and it is compulsory from the ages five to seventeen.
