Ngelthe (Ngelthen: Ńelże [ŋelðe]), officially the Ngelthen State, is an archipelagic country located in Soltenna, fully surrounded by the Sea of Alpa. It shares a maritime border with Liaghwa.

It consists of 8 semi-autonomous islands and island groups, with each having 10 seats in the country’s legislature. It is one of the smallest nations by population, with a population of only around 204,000.

Etymology

The exact origin of the name Ngelthe is unknown, it may come from “ńele” (meaning “fish”) and “leże”(meaning “bay”), or could have come from ”ńelulżeleal, a term meaning “cold rock”.

History

Early History

The islands that now comprise Ngelthe were inhabited since at least 2000 BCE, with archaeological evidence showing the original settlements on the islands were mostly small fishing villages sparsely dotting the coast. These settlements remained stagnant yet consistent throughout the years, and some still survive today. Żotel was founded during this period, and still has a historic district with preserved ancient architecture.

Kingdom of Ngelthe

In 1521, the Kingdom of Ngelthe was established. They were an enigma to most of the outside world, but they were also eager to reach out to it.

Revolution and Isolationism

In 1892, the kingdom was overthrown by rebels, and the Ngelthen Republic was established. The rebels were highly nationalistic and made the nation more isolationist as a result, putting many into poverty due to being unable to take imports.

Ńalże Regime

In 1954, Alołoża Ńalże was elected to the Ngelthen presidential office, however, once elected, he brutally ethnically cleansed all non-ethnic Ngelthens from Ngelthe by deporting or killing them. He also placed even more travel restrictions and sanctions upon other nations. He also dissolved the term limit for president and ruled for the rest of his life, not dying until 1994.

Ngelthen State

In 1994, upon the death of Ńalże, a new democratic government was established during the ensuing power struggle, which came to be known as the Ngelthen State Government, and they later renamed the country to the Ngelthen State.
