Qgam, also known as the the (Great) Nation of Qgam (IPA: /gæm/ 鄭大國 Qgam Ghluo /əʔgʌm gxlʊə/), officially The Democratic Republic of Qgam, is a country located in Western Miraria. It is a de facto one-party state lead by the Qgamic National Party (鄭國党), which has not faced opposition in over 60 years. The majority of the population is concentrated in the northwest.
Etymology
The name 鄭 Qgam refers to the ethnic group that has inhabited the region for thousands of years; its etymology is ultimately unknown. With the formation of the Qgamic Kingdom (鄭帝國, the name began to be associated with both the nation and ethnic group. After the kingdom was overthrown and the modern government established, the country was renamed to Qgam Ghluo, literally "Great Nation of Qgam". The official name, 鄭民主共和國 Qgam Miĝdzu Koĝkhuoko was adopted by the Qgamic National Party soon after its rise to power, though the everyday name for the country remains Qgam Ghluo.

Climate
The majority of Qgam is a humid continental climate with warm summers and cold winters, while the northern provinces are mostly a subartic climate, with cold summers and harsh winters. Small portions of the northern coast, including the location of the capital Hwam Deaĝ Ruom, are of a subpolar oceanic climate. The northern regions have the highest precipitation and greatest snow cover in winter, while the regions east of the Ikrem Mountains are in a rain shadow and receive slightly less precipitation. The southern climate is ideal for the farming of spring grains.
The northern coastal regions have a climate that is exceptionally mild, with higher rainfall and lower yearly variation in temperature. Conversely, the regions surrounding the Ikrem Mountains have great variation between summer and winter temperatures.

Demographics
Ethnic groups
Approximately 80% of Qgam's population comprises ethnic Qgams. The next largest group are the Nuar, who comprise approximately 17% of the population. The remaining 3% comprises immigrants of various other ethnicities, the largest of which is Chalyl.
The Nuar population are concentrated primarily in the southern half of the country, particularly in Twam Kheaw. The Nuar formerly spoke a distinct and unrelated language, but this fell out of use around 1500 CE.
Relations between ethnic Qgams and ethnic Nuar have improved over the centuries, but some amount of discrimination against Nuar remains. In the mostly-Nuar populated Twam Kheaw province, reverse discrimination may occur against ethnic Qgams.

Religion
The officially sanctioned state religion is Skeanism, an animistic religion that shares many similarities with the Ngeyv religion to the north. It incorporates aspects of ancestor veneration and shamanism and emphasizes a oneness of body and soul.
The vast majority of the population identifies as Skeanist; however, most citizens are not devout followers and treat the religion as simple tradition.
Though there are no legal restrictions on religion, societal pressure makes it difficult for other religions to flourish outside of immigrant populations, which are extremely low overall.
