Monyeg (MON: Månjeg), officially the Democratic Federation of Monyeg, is a country located in Lower Boroso. The country is a majority Kav country, made up of 81% Kavs, and has the highest concentration of Kavs out of any country in Sahar. The country has a GDP per capita of XXX, and it is the 5th largest country in Boroso by land mass, at 723786 km². Monyeg has a population of 20917415 (2023 census) and a population density of 29, making it the 4th smallest country in Boroso by population and the 4th least densely populated country in Boroso. The country borders Alto-Jyzhea to the south.

Etymology

There are three main theories as to how the name “Månjeg” originated. One theory is that it originated from Proto-Monic *mananyeǵ meaning “land” and another theory suggests that it is of Monyeg origin from the word *monio, meaning “land”, and the last theory suggests that it is a compound word made up of both aforementioned words.

History

Pre-Monic Empire

Before the Monic Empire, what is now present-day Monyeg was divided into many smaller clans and kingdoms, of which by the turn of the third century AD, there are only four kingdoms left – Alta, the Daxic-Konic Union, Kefsia, and Hwelia. The kingdoms were eventually united under the Monic-Empire.

Alta and the Daxic-Konic Union

The first inhabitants of the land in Monyeg were unknown, and could be anywhere from humans to Kavs. Nevertheless, historical evidence has shown that the first known group of settlers were likely the Altans around 400 BC, which later formed the Altag kingdom (present day south Monyeg). Before 0AD, the territorial expansion of the Altans resulted in the southwest coast being occupied by the Altans. Between 0AD - 150AD, a series of wars were fought between the different Altans which ultimately resulted in the formation of the three southern kingdoms – Daxia, Konia, and Alta. Around 210 AD, Daxia and Konia are united under a diarchy called the Daxic-Konic Union. Around 270 AD, Alta also began to expand and much of Igaunia fell under Altan rule.

Kefsia

The second wave of migration occurred around 200 BC, in which the Sunnders migrated to present day north Monyeg. Northern Monyeg was split into many smaller clans, of which, Prassia and Noria are the most powerful. Around 10AD, Sunnders migrated into the Hwesic valley and formed the kingdom of Hwesia. Around 50AD, Kefsia and Sunndia gained independence from Noria. Around 250 AD, Kefsia conquered most of the north, including Noria, Sunndia and Frassia and became the northern Kingdom. Shortly after, Hwesia formed an alliance with Kefsia.

Hwelia

Hwelia (present day central-east Monyeg) was inhabited since 300BC by the Sedians. In 200BC, some Sunnders moved further inland and mixed with the Sedians. In 100 BC, some Sedians moved further south and interacted with the Altans. It was not until 100 AD that Sedia was united into two different kingdoms – Hwelia and Skambia. Later on, Igaunia was formed at present day south-east Monyeg. Around 180 AD, Igaunia dissolved into Vaatsia, Krevia and Igaunia. All of them were conquered by Alta shortly after. Hwelia fell under Skambian rule around 290 AD.

Geography

Geology

There are two prominent mountain chains located in northwest Monyeg, forming a valley in between. Other than these chains, Monyeg is a mostly flat country. Due to the situation of the country in relation to tectonic plates, Monyeg is vulnerable to experiencing earthquakes. For the same reasons, Monyeg is also vulnerable to experiencing tsunamis, albeit not very often. Floods are also common along the coast, especially in southwest Monyeg.

Climate

Due to the mountain chains, the northwest coast of Monyeg will be particularly humid. In certain areas of Monyeg, notably in some parts of the mountain ranges, there will be greater temperature differences during summer. Monyeg primarily has humid winters as part of its climate. In the south, the climate is more similar to tundra climates, and as such trees do not grow as often and stop growing at lower elevations than the rest of Monyeg. The southeastern parts of Monyeg typically have a colder climate than the rest of Monyeg.

Politics

Government

Monyeg is officially considered as a Federal Constitutional Monarchy.

Judicial Branch

The judicial branch uses a mix of civil and common law.

Administrative divisions

Monyeg is divided into 9 regions, which are further divided into 37 federal prefectures.

Foreign relations

Alto-Jyzhea

Due to agreements on many sapient issues and historical cultural ties, Monyeg and Alto-Jyzhea have good diplomatic ties.

Jærvaig

Jærvaig is a land claim dispute between Monyeg and Alto-Jyzhea. As of today, Alto-Jyzhea still claims most of the Jærvaig territory but Monyeg exerts almost all political control over the territory. Monyeg recognises that historically, Jærvaig was a culturally significant part of former Alto-Jyzhea and that there are significant sentiments to wanting to reunite with Alto-Jyzhea. As such, Monyeg claims to officially hold onto Jærvaig until 2025, where the islands will be allowed to hold a referendum every 5 years from then onwards on remaining as part of Monyeg, becoming independent, or joining Alto-Jyzhea. Nevertheless, Alto-Jyzhea still maintains that the Jærvaig territory is currently a part of Alto-Jyzhea.

Qazania

A large number of Kav immigrants come from Qazania alongside Urabor. Diplomatic ties were mostly strained between the two countries due to Kav mistreatment in Qazania among other sapient rights that Monyeg raised concerns towards.

Unions and Associations

AEIOU

Monyeg is a part of the AEIOU

Borosan Economic Union

Monyeg is a part of the Borosan Economic Union. Monyeg does not use the Boro as the currency.

Economy

The Monyeg economy is estimated to be valued at ______ in 2023, one of the largest in Boroso. Its main exports include refined metals(mainly copper, gold, zinc, uranium, molybdenum and tungsten), amaranth, and technological goods.

Currency

Monyeg uses the Kogle (meaning “Shield”) as the currency. 1 Kogle is roughly equal to 0.091241 USD.

Transport

The main mode of transport in urban areas is by foot or public transport. Due to the pollution and the space that private vehicles occupy, many urban areas in Monyeg ban the ownership and usage of private vehicles (outside of delivery vehicles which must be authorized by the government and can only be used for transporting goods) altogether. Public transport is commonplace, especially in the northern parts of Monyeg such as the ___ corridor which are very interconnected through an extensive network of buses and trams. Despite public transport also being commonplace in southwest Monyeg, many families still own private vehicles to evacuate from tsunamis if possible. This is also why the roads are very wide in those areas so that cars do not get stuck in case the area needs to be evacuated.

For long distance traveling, trains are the most used method of transportation, followed by cars in some areas.

Energy

Monyeg’s main source of energy is nuclear energy, coming from the nuclear power plants largely in the south western part of Monyeg. Additionally, some mountains have windmills which are able to generate some wind energy for the country. There are dams throughout mostly the central and southern parts of Monyeg as well which allows hydroelectricity to be generated to some extent. Natural gas, coal and oil are also used but due to its scarcity in Monyeg, renewable energy is preferred over these sources of energy.

Tourism

Natural scenery is an attraction to many tourists as the western coast of Koinneg is particularly known for tourism due to its lush forests and stunning coasts. In fact, Hosainn (the capital of Koinneg) is known as the Monyeg Jewel due to the beauty in the surrounding area, and many resorts are built in the peninsula.

Demographics

Ethnic groups

Monyeg is home to a diverse number of Kavrinh cultures, with each prefecture often housing a different ethnicity. Some major groups include the Osjloans, Sunnians, Bregians, and Altans. Kavtovzan immigrants from Qazania also make up a tiny population of the Kavrinh cultures in Monyeg. There are other immigrant populations, most notably, Uraborians from various parts of Urabor make up the main demographics for immigrant populations, and contribute to most of the Human population as well as the second largest non-Monyeg Kav ethnicity.

Urbanisation

Overall, the northern parts of Monyeg are more urbanized than other parts of Monyeg. The capital, Osjlo, is the one of the two only cities with a population above 1 million, and as such the largest city by population in Monyeg. Other major urban settlements include Sunnsand(the largest city in Monyeg) and Bregsånd in the north, and Altsand in the south. The Sunn-Kjorgan Corridor in particular comprises many large- and medium-sized cities stretching from southern Kjᵫfsåg to northern Hesska. Most of the population in Monyeg do not live in urban settlements.

Language

Officially, Monian is the only language considered as the official language across Monyeg, but all prefectures are allowed to choose their regional variants as their standardization of the language, and all standardized regional variants are eligible for legal usage in all prefectures as guaranteed by Monyeg’s constitution. In reality, these standardizations or so called “variants of Monian” are distinct languages from each other and are for a very large part mutually unintelligible. For this reason, there are actually roughly 30 different languages spoken in Monyeg. Some of the most widely spoken include Sunnian, Osjlo and Altsandese.

To prevent language barriers being a large problem in education and occupation, the Board of Monyeg Academic and Professional Terminology was established to standardize terminologies used for many academic and occupational fields. These terminologies are not spelt the same in every prefectural language, but they are obvious cognates with the same meaning across different prefectural languages.

The prefectural languages of Monyeg are often referred to within Monyeg as “(prefecture) Monian”, such as “Osjlo Monian”, “Sunnsand Monian”, “Bregsånd Monian” etc.

Language education in Monyeg is often intermixed with introduction to cultural topics related to the prefecture.

Education

Education is largely covered by the government in Monyeg, with the municipal government covering primary education, the prefectural government covering secondary education and most of tertiary education.

There are 7 school days in every 9 day week and the 4th school day of the week is always less work intensive than the other days. School years are divided into two terms in Monyeg; the first term starts in the beginning of March and ends in late June, and the second term starts in mid July and ends in late November. There are two significant holiday breaks, notably the term break from early to late July, and the new year break from early to mid September. During the summer break from December to February, many high school students choose to do internships or training.

Primary Education

Primary education is fully covered by the municipal government as such it is completely free. Primary education typically begins in the year that the child turns 6, and typically lasts 6 years. Primary schools have their applications all done through one unified portal operated by the municipal government for primary schools. Interviews are not required for all public schools.

The primary school curriculum consists of a set of mandatory courses and several elective courses as follow:

Course load and credits:

• Language (4)
• Mathematics (4)
• Science (4)
• Social studies (3)
• 1 additional language course (4)
• 1-2 courses from Music (3), Theater (3) and Arts (3)
• 1-2 courses from a second additional language (4), Physical Education (4), Religion (4)

Minimum credits: 26 (~3.5hr of instruction/day); Maximum credits: 30 (~4hr of instruction/day); most students take the minimum credit course load.

Primary school in Monyeg typically starts around 10 am and lasts until 2.5-3.5 pm depending on the course load of the student. There is homework but assignments are typically assigned on a weekly basis, with most of the work being done in class.

Failing mandatory courses will not necessarily require one to repeat a year if they fail 6 or less credits per year, but they must take summer courses before continuing onto the next year. Failing more than 6 credits would require one to repeat a school year.

Minimum credits required to graduate primary school: 174

There is 1 test for every subject at the end of the school year, and the last 3 years are counted cumulatively towards the final grade of the student.

In certain urbanized cities in northwest Monyeg, due to the “Urbanized Northwest Cultural Awareness Education Plan,” most primary schools in Osjlo, Sunnsand, Bregsånd and Frassann do not offer any languages from northwest and north Monyeg as possible additional language courses, but rather, Altsandese, Dashian and Koinnian, and occasionally, Igaunian and Shogedian are offered as additional language courses.

Secondary Education

Secondary Education Secondary education is fully covered by the prefectural government and as such it is completely free. Secondary education typically begins in the year that the child turns 12 and typically lasts 6 years. Secondary schools have their applications all done through one unified portal operated by the prefectural government for secondary schools. Interviews are not required for all public schools.

The secondary school curriculum consists of a set of mandatory courses and several optional courses as follow:

Course load and credits for grade 1-3:

• Language (5)
• Mathematics (5)
• Science (5)
• Socials studies (4)
• 1 additional language course (5)
• 1-2 courses from Music (3), Theater (3) and Arts (3)
• 1-2 courses from a second additional language (5), Physical Education (4), Religion (4)

Minimum credits: 31 (~4.5hr of instruction/day); Maximum credits: 39 (~5.5hr of instruction/day); most students take around 30 to 32 credits per year. Minimum credits to advance to grade 4: 124

Course load and credits for grade 4-6: Language (4) Socials studies (4) At least 17 credits from Mathematics (5) or Intensive Mathematics (6), Biology (3), Chemistry (3), Physics (3), Psychology (3), Computer Science (3), Macro + Micro Economics (3), Music (5), Theater (5), Arts (5), Religion (3), Scholarly Communication (3), up to two additional language courses (4) and Physical Education (4) (picking a duplicate course is not allowed) University Preparation (3, but there are no scores in this course)

Minimum credits: 28(~4hr of instruction/day); Maximum credits: 41 (~6hr of instruction/day); most students take around 3. By the end of grade 6 however, they must have at least 88 credits. Most students take around 30 credits per year.

Secondary school in Monyeg typically starts around 9 am and lasts until 2.5-4.5 pm depending on the course load of the student and the grade they are in. There is homework but assignments are typically assigned on a weekly basis, with most of the work being done in class. The workload however is very noticeably heavier than that of previous years.

Failing mandatory courses will not necessarily require one to repeat a year if they fail 10 or less credits per year, but they must take summer courses before continuing onto the next year. Failing more than 10 credits would require one to repeat a school year.

Minimum credits required to graduate between grade 4-6: 75

Tertiary Education

Tertiary education is mostly funded by the prefectural government with a small amount of tuition paid directly by students themselves. Nevertheless, there are private institutions even though they are rare. Tertiary education institutes are divided into four categories - Universities, Specialized Institutions, Applied Science Only Institutions and Arts Only Institutions. All post secondary education applications in Monyeg are done through the Monyeg university portal and there is no processing fee. Each university has a designated code based on their category and name. The closest equivalent of associate degrees would be “Degree 0,” and normally it requires 2 years of tertiary education to earn this degree. The equivalents of Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree and PhD are “Degree 1,” “Degree 2,” and “Degree 3” in the Monyeg tertiary education system. A typical completion of Degree 1 takes 4-5 years of post-secondary education, Degree 2 takes 2-3 years, and Degree 3 takes 1-2 years. Monyeg’s universities operate under a credit system where each university course accounts for a certain number of credits and the student must complete a certain number of credits (including mandatory courses) in order to advance to the next year of education. Failing a course will make the credits ineligible for that course and one must retake the course if they wish to earn the credits for that course. Private institutions exist but are rare and these institutions do not follow this system nor the Monyeg university portal for the application process.

Here are a list of universities:

Literacy

Literacy in Monyeg is near 100% and has stayed at this number ever since the late 20th century. On average, adult Monyers have a level of literacy at a grade 3 secondary school native language level, and only 10% of the adults have below secondary school levels of literacy.

GlobalNow Language Programme

GlobalNow is a government funded foreign language programme in which the government pays teachers of foreign languages spoken from outside of Monyeg to work in Monyeg. These teachers may work in regular schools or universities.

Healthcare

Healthcare in Monyeg is not fully public. Prefectures are allowed to make their own laws in regards to healthcare, and the federal government has no right to intervene unless there is an extensive crisis that the prefectural government has no capability of dealing with and that aid is requested from the prefecture. Gender affirming healthcare is available in most prefectures like other types of healthcare.

Altsand

Altsand has four public hospitals, three of which are tied to universities or medical schools, and five private hospitals. Private healthcare is costly in Altsand, but at the same time, most of the public hospitals are not accessible to the public as many of them are located at a university or medical institution. As such, there is a near 50/50 split in preference for private or public healthcare in Altsand. Public hospitals are covered completely by government spending, with no additional fees being added. All pharmacies require a fee to be paid for buying any medicine.

Bregsånd

Bregsånd has 5 hospitals in total, two of which are tied to universities. Despite the hospitals being part of the university, the hospitals are basically run as private hospitals and more so just very interconnected partners of the university rather than being funded by the government like the universities are. Every permanent resident of Bregsånd has a government funded budget per year for healthcare usage.

Dæsjeg

Dæsjeg’s healthcare is mostly public, and the funding of most of the public hospitals are directly connected with the funding of universities. 20% of the cost for healthcare is paid by the consumer.

Frasag

Frasag’s healthcare is mostly private. The price of healthcare is regulated by a maximum cap set by the government, which is adjusted for inflation. Consumers pay 80% of the fees in healthcare and the government subsidises the last 20%.

Hesska

Hesska has a largely privatised healthcare system, and there is a small 10% service charge for all services. Like with Bregsånd, Hesskan permanent residents will be allocated a health budget annually by the government. There is a cap to the maximum about of money that could be charged for every service, albeit this limit is still quite a bit higher than what people would perceive as acceptable.

Hveseg

Hveseg has several public hospitals, some of which are owned by universities, as well as some private hospitals. Most of the costs in public hospitals are subsidised by the government, and the consumer only has to pay 10% of the service charge. Private hospitals have a lot less government regulation in terms of cost. Giving birth, calling an ambulance and entering/leaving a hospital also has additional charges in both public and private hospitals.

Jareg

Jareg’s healthcare system consists mostly of private hospitals but public clinics. All the costs for the clinics are subsidised by the government. The government does not subsidise any other healthcare procedures.

Jœsprå

Jœsprå's healthcare is split between public and private. Most public healthcare services have at least 80% cost coverage from the government.

Kjalteg

Kjalteg's healthcare is completely covered by the government and is mostly public.

Kjorga

Kjorga's healthcare is largely public but with a small service charge on all services at a predetermined cost by the government. This cost adjusts according to inflation.

Kugska

Kugska's healthcare is relatively to Kjorga's healthcare, having a largely public but with a small service charge on all services at a predetermined cost by the government. This cost adjusts according to inflation.

Kureg

Kureg's healthcare is mostly private. There is a small government funding for child and elderly healthcare and an even smaller funding for adult healthcare. Emergency services are also funded by the government but operated independently.

Norkade

Norkade’s public healthcare is different from other prefectures as all of its fundings come from other parts of the country, with 95% of the funding coming from Osjlo, Tjesåg, Viklåg and Hveseg. Most medical professionals in Norkade do not speak Norkadian. Norkadian healthcare is completely free.

Osjlo

Osjlo has eight public hospitals and three private hospitals that are all affiliated with medical schools. The government covers between 80% to 95% of the service fee depending on the type of healthcare service. Medicine is typically free provided that one has a prescription or similar documentations offered by healthcare professionals.

Sunnsand

Sunnsand's healthcare is split between public and private fairly evenly. There are seven public hospitals, two university owned hospitals and six private hospitals. Sunnsand ranks higher than most prefectures in terms of healthcare cost but part of the fee for extended periods of staying in a hospital will be paid by the government, as well as major surgical operations.

Sᵫmmtrag

Sᵫmmtrag's healthcare is split roughly evenly between public and private. There are not a lot of public hospitals, but there are two prominent private hospitals and several clinics. Health check-ups are free prefecture-wide.

Taukag

Taukag's healthcare is completly private and is also the most expensive in Monyeg by a large margin for every single type of healthcare service. Emergency services such as ambulance requests will include a fee, accessing hospitals even as a visitor will include a fee, accessing pharmacies will include a fee, and all of that is added with a 10% service tax. Taukag is also known for being the only prefecture with almost no laws regarding gender affirming healthcare.

Tjesåg

The majority of the healthcare is ran by the government. Tjesåg spends the most of the tax collected on healthcare proportionally compared to other prefectures. Additional fees are only required for surgeries or very intensive treatment procedures.

Tjulsjag

Tjulsjag's healthcare is similar to Jœsprå's but with slightly adjusted costs. Medication tend to be slightly cheaper in Jœsprå but other medical procedures tend to be cheaper in Tjulsjag.

Urboskaft

Urboskaft’s funding for healthcare comes partly from Noreg and Kjᵫfsåg, but a significant portion comes from its own funding too. Due to the difficulty in achieving widespread healthcare over these series of islands, there was an incentive to build more private hospitals. Private hospitals in Urboskaft tend to have more medical professionals who are competent in Osjloan or even Kavrinian. There is a stereotype that immigrants typically use private hospitals because the immigrants cannot speak Urbosian, but in reality the usage of private hospitals versus public hospitals is a more or less 50/50 split.

Viklåg

Viklåg's healthcare is almost fully privatized, with a small number of government programs available only to partially pay off surgery or intensive treatment costs.

The mountains (Huvklekeg, Kjagjå, Suslå)

Healthcare in the mountains is fully public. Due to the frequent travelling between citizens of these prefectures and mutual intelligibility of the languages, many healthcare workers can speak more than one of the regional languages. Most healthcare documents can be received in the native language of the citizen if desired. Suslå is the only prefecture in the mountains where the healthcare is not completely free. This is because Suslå counts getting over the counter medicine and receiving surgeries or other forms of medical treatment are counted as consuming a product, and thus taxes apply to these services as well. Aside from that, the healthcare system in the three prefectures are pretty much entirely identical to each other.

Igaunia Region (Igaunia, Krevia, Våtsia)

Healthcare in the Igaunia region is fully public and despite the prefectures having their own prefecture languages, in practice, most of the population can also understand Igaunian to a pretty high degree, hence, medical documents are usually printed in Igaunian. Våtsia is the only prefecture out of the three to have all healthcare be fully covered by government spending. The three prefectures have the same laws in regards to over-the-counter medicine regulation. Medicine and diagnoses are not free in Igaunia and Krevia, and additionally, there are processing fees for processing any type of written or typed document in Igaunia. Due to the fees that are paid in Igaunia and Krevia, many Igaunians and Krevians prefer to undergo healthcare procedures in Våtsia.

East Monyeg (Skempetik, Skjœgedvik)

For the most part, especially in Skempetik, healthcare is fully funded by the government. Skempetik and Skjœgedvik donate to each others’ healthcare systems whenever there are certain requests from the other prefecture, and patients are allowed to transfer freely between any hospitals within these two prefectures. The over-the-counter medicines have the most lax regulation in these two prefectures as opposed to other prefectures as almost all medicines are over-the-counter. Following one case of antibiotic misuse that caused a bacterial overgrowth and eventually death to Lege Merstᵫn, an 8 year old girl who was given antibiotics by her father, there had been attempts trying to tighten the regulations for over-the-counter medicines. Skempetik contains the least medical professionals per capita and also the least medical facilities per capita.

Far West Monyeg (Jærvaig, Koinneg, Sᵫinntreg)

All of these countries have a healthcare system that is roughly split into public and private healthcare fairly evenly. Jærvaig healthcare Central Monyeg (Hensja, Kvila) Hensja and Kvila healthcare are only partly covered by the government, most notably, only certain types of appointments, diagnoses and in some hospitals, fee for staying in the facility, are covered by the government. In Kvila, certain age groups have a certain percentage of their total healthcare fee automatically paid by the government. In Hensja, there are more private hospitals than public hospitals.

Other Places (Frassann, Kjᵫfsåg, Noreg)

In these prefectures, healthcare is fully subsidised by the government. In Frassann, a lot more medicines require prescription before obtaining. Bregian residents are not allowed to receive healthcare for mild cases of sickness in Kjᵫfsåg, Noreg, but they are allowed diagnoses at clinics (but not hospitals) in these prefectures.

Religion

Monyeg is a primarily secular country, with roughly 70% of the population claiming that they are atheist. The two major religions in Monyeg are Djolism and Kihavorism, and folk traditions are very uncommon. Religious communities beyond Djolist and Kihavorists communities from immigrant populations are exceptionally small and almost nonexistent in Monyeg. Sunnsand and Osjlo are the two main cities in which there is more religious diversity, even though they are more secular than many other parts of Monyeg.

Djolism

The largest religion in Monyeg is Djolism, which spread into Monyeg through extensive contact with Urabor in history. Historically, Djolism spread through trade with Uraborians and other northern regions, and as such Djolism has a stronger prominence in the northern prefectures of Monyeg. The religion was introduced initially during the first contact between Bregian traders and Uraborian traders, and after a brief hiatus of contact between Uraborians and the Uraborian empire, the second wave of Djolist influence occurred as trade with Uraborians resumed.

Kihavorism

The second largest religion in Monyeg is Kihavorism, a native religion originating from the south of Monyeg, dating back to the Alts in around 400BC. This religion is still practiced mostly in the southwestern coast of Monyeg, but its influence still impacts most of central Monyeg, and to an extent, northern Monyeg. Roughly 10% of inhabitants in Monyeg identify themselves as Kihavorists.

Culture

Music

Traditionally, the music of the ___ dance consists of alternating patterns of 4 bars in the beat of 12/16. There are two main patterns. 1. The build up, which is a repeated phrasing of 4 bars of the dance, increasing with volume and sometimes even pitch. The second one is the theme of the dance, which gets played in the beginning of the piece, and the second phrase is usually played at a softer volume and higher pitch than the first, but this is only a general trend and not how the phrases actually are like. A held note in a dotted quaver at the end of a phrase typically is used to transition between phrases in pattern 2.

Dances

The main dance of Monyeg is ___, which dances to a 12/16 rhythm.
