| '''Ebo Nganagam''', officially the '''Confederation of Ebo Nganagam''' is a country located in North [[Baredina]], or [[Ekuosia]]. | | '''Ebo Nganagam''', commonly known as '''Ebo''', is a sovereign state located in northern [[Baredina]], considered part of both the [[Ekuosia]] and [[Puzimm]] regions. It borders [[Barradiwa]] to the west, [[Tabiqa]] to the south, and the [[Parshita Sea]] to the north. It is Sahar's most populous and second largest country, with an area of approximately 3,900,000 square kilometres and a population of 368 million. It comprises 33 states as well as the [[Aga Dighagot Capital District]]. |
| | |
| | Ebo Nganagam has been home to numerous kingdoms and tribal states over the millennia. The modern state originated from colonial rule beginning in the 18th century, principally under [[Veridia]], [[Letzia]] and the [[Balak Empire]], but earlier also under [[Terminian Three Kingdoms|Terminia]]. The [[Republic of Kahamogo]] gained independence from Balakia in 1963 during the [[Dissolution of the Balak Empire|dissolution of the Balak Empire]], while the former [[Veridian East Puzimm]] and the Lestzi [[Colonial Obuzga|Colony of Obuzga]] gained independence as the [[Obuzga Federation]] in 1968. A merger of the two nations was effectuated in 1973 and the name ''Ebo Nganagam'' was chosen for the new federation. |
| | |
| | Since 1993 Ebo Nganagam has been embroiled in various levels of civil unrest and the [[Ebo Nganagam Civil War]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Etymology== | | ==Etymology== |
| The name ''Ebo Nganagam'' is the word meaning "village people" in the Ebo Nganagam language, as most people of the Confederation of Ebo Nganagam lived(and many of them still lives) in highly autonomous tribes. | | The origin of the name "Ebo Nganagam" is unclear. A popular theory is that the name descends from the [[Shoma]] phrase ''ipu ɴɢano kam'' meaning "people of the village". Regardless of origin, the name became a common term to describe the lands east of [[Kostenbad]] in Barradiwa from the 18th century. Originally the term referred to the entirety of Puzimm, including northern Tabiqa, but after the colonisation of Algador by Shohuan the term slowly came to be used only for the lands north of the [[Anuxaz river]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==History== | | ==History== |
| The land of Modern Ebo Nganagam used to be ruled by many empires built by different peoples, like the [[Adzamasi Empire]], the [[Grand Ekuostian Empire]], the [[Holy Algadorian Empire]], the [[Q'eb Empire]], the [[Ebo Aga Empire]], etc.
| |
|
| |
| Before the arrival of the settlers of the Lakelanders(Hux Kham Mlu in the Hux Kham language; Ebo Ot Kahaga Gahasano in the Ebo Nganagam language) in about 1400 AD, the land of the Confederation of Ebo Nganagam was ruled by various sovereign states in different historical stages, and the records about the ethnic Ebo Nganagam peoples were only scarcely seen in some records of neighboring peoples.
| |
|
| |
| The first sovereign entity on the land of the Confederation of Ebo Nganagam was the '''[[Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham]]'''(Myak Kham means "Sunland" in the Hux Kham language). The Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham was estabished in about 1600 AD by a group of settlers of the Lakelanders, and it is said that the name of the leader of the settlers was [[E-ar-en-delu]]. Lakelanders are an ethnic group of himan being in Sahar, and it is said that the Lakelanders are originally a group of semi-nomadic herdspeople of southwestern Miraria. A group of Lakelanders invaded the land of the Ebo Nganagam tribes and built the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham, and the Lakelanders became the ruling class of the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham and the Hux Kham language also became the language of government, law and academy in the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham.
| |
|
| |
| The invasion of the Lakelanders and the establishment of the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham soon provoked the resistance of the Ebo Nganagam local tribes, in the Northeast, the [[Ebo Lokngak tribe]](Ebo Lokngak was called Ebo Lingai in the local Ebo Nganagam dialect of Ebo Lokngak tribe), which is a tribe of ethnic Ebo Nganagam people, formed a tribal union to fight against the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham, but their resistance was futile, the tribal union led by the Ebo Lokngak tribe was finally defeated in around 1750 AD and people of the Ebo Lokngak tribe were massacred, the Ebo Lokngak tribe thus disappeared.
| |
|
| |
| After the defeat of the tribal union led by the Ebo Lokngak tribe, the land all Ebo Nganagam tribes became a part of the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham, and the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham to the semi-arid area south of the savanna, however, the government of the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham was oppressive to local peoples, which led to revolts of local people, also, people of the ruling class of the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham also had many power struggles against each other, which eventually led to a coup d'etat led by General [[Yu Tak]] in 1953, General Yu Tak changed the name of the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham into the the '''[[Republic of Myak Kham]]''' and abolished the Meritocratic class, although General Yu Tak is generally seen as an oppressive dictator in the history of the Confederation of Ebo Nganagam, local people also acknowledged that General Yu Tak abolished all the privileges of the former ruling class, promoting the equality between peoples in the country, but even in the time of General Yu Tak, the Ebo Nganagam language was continued to be an unwritten language and the the Hux Kham language was still the sole official language.
| |
|
| |
| General Yu Tak died in 1995, which brought a new era to the country, the succeeding government decided to democratize and gave all major tribes full rights of autonomy, the Ebo Nganagam language gained the status of being an official language, and the name of the country was also changed to the Confederation of Ebo Nganakam. Although the Confederation of Ebo Nganakam is still a low developed country, currently, no one tries to challenge the current democratic government, people of the Confederation of Ebo Nganakam believe that they have a bright future, as all potential threats to the current democractic government has been successfully destroyed in the civil war against the [[Sunland Party]] of late 1990s.

| The Confederation of Ebo Nganagam has a plenty of wild life, both on land and in water. However, no animals living in the land of Ebo Nganagam is suitable for domestication, and the existence of [[bire-bire fly]] also hinders the introduction of animal power to many areas in Ebo Nganagam.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Politics== | | ==Politics== |
| Land reform, tribal militia groups, corruption and the establishment of infrastructure are the main challenges of the current government of Ebo Nganagam.
| |
|
| |
| The government of the Confederation of Ebo Nganaga is considered to be democratic, however, the control of the government over most of its territory is very weak, most of the territory of Ebo Nganagam are de fact controlled by local tribal militia groups.
| |
|
| |
| although there has been no conflicts between militia groups, and no conflicts between the government and militia groups since 2000, the existence of the tribal militia groups still possess a threat to the stability of the country.
| |
|
| |
| The government is trying to disarm the militia groups but all attempts to disarm militia groups have failed, actually the power of milita groups grew significantly during the time of the [[Sunland Party Rebellion]], as militia groups helped the government to fight against the Sunland Party a lot, a governor even said that he think the government cannot disarm militia groups without causing another civil war.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Government=== | | ===Government=== |
| The confederation of Ebo Nganagam is actually a federal country rather than a true confederation, it is a constitutional republic and representative democracy, it has a bicameral parliamentary system consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and all major political parties have made an agreement that they will never use armed force to fight against each other, and will obey the result of elections. Political observers agree that the federal government and the state governments of the confederation of Ebo Nganagam follows democratic principles, the constitutional law of the confederation of Ebo Nganagam grants freedom of speech and press, and there's no report that the current federal government or state governments have ever tried to oppress people who criticize the government or possess different political views.
| |
|
| |
| The head of state is president, the term of office for a president is two consecutive 5 years, but a person can also be re-elected to another unlimited non-consecutive 5-year term, after a minimum of ten years out of office since the end of their last term in office.
| |
|
| |
| However, both of the federal government and the state governments only possess little control over most of the territory of Ebo Nganagam, in most areas, local tribes and other militia groups are the de facto rulers, many tribes possess their own armed forces and some of them have even involved in international criminal activities, and it is known that many tribes try to oppress people who try to reveal their dark side, even though the government does not try to oppress anyone with critical views to anyone. The prevalence of tribal militia is considered to be the main reason why the government is highly corrupted and why many infrastructures can't be built up effectively. It is thought that the militia groups were formed soon after the fragmentation of the [[Ebo Aga Empire]], and were later reinforced by the [[Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham]] as a mean to control the annexed lands dwelled by ethnic [[Ebo Nganagam people (ethnic group)|Ebo Nganagam people]] and [[Adzmaic languages|Adzmaic]]-speaking peoples after the territory of the former [[Ebo Aga Empire]] had been annexed to the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham<ref name="Footnote">In order to control the ethnic Ebo Nganagam people, and to get help from them, the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham granted a large amount of benefits to the leaders of Militia groups, therefore they were reinforced, but on the other hand, the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham also used the "divide and rule" strategy to prevent the militia groups from becoming a coalition that could posses a threat to the Meritocratic Republic of Myak Kham</ref>.

| |
|
| |
| However, except for [[Yak Mlu people|those of ethnic Hux Kham origin]], almost everyone in Ebo Nganagam has a deep hate towards anyone that looks like Hux Kham people, which has affected a lot of groups of peoples in [[Soltenna]].
