As part of the third NS World Fair<ref>{{cite web|title=NS World Fair III (archived)|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141227210906/http://s15.zetaboards.com/NSWF3/topic/7842809/1/|publisher=web.archive.org|date=December 27, 2014|accessdate=March 11, 2026}}</ref>, two users from the NS Sport community — behind the nations of [[User:Huayramarca|San Jose Guayabal]] and [[User:Osarius|Osarius]] — presented lectures on NS Sport, covering hosting and scorination, under the title '''NS Sports: Hosting, how it works, how to do it and the maths behind it'''.

These lectures are reproduced below for reference purposes. Some formatting elements have been changed to better suit the wiki article format.

==Hosting, how it works, how to do it==
Hello, today I will explain how is the process of hosting in NS Sports and need to do this, I hope this little essay to them very useful in the near future to any of you.

''NB: Sorry if this has any spelling fault, English isn't my native language (Spanish is my main one), but I did this pushed by my idea of helping people to know how is this.''

At first glance this might seem a very simple process, make a host bid, win the host bid voting, choose the dates of your convenience, have a scorinator, click in some randomly generated data, handle numbers of participants, etc. If you think this, you are very far from reality, but do not worry, it is not a process of suffering and nightmares; it can be easier if certain key procedures are followed, which I will detail below.

'''- The Host Bid:''' This step is the beginning of the process, here you should present a description of your nation (IC) and data (OOC) which are important because they show in a small scale how will run the tournament, they are much more technical details here, the ranging from the format used. By this I mean how many teams or nations will participate in the tournament and also the scorinator, the latter is vital for the tournament, brings a couple of links where you can get and Osarius explain the math behind it, especially xkoranate, the most complete scorinator and most widely used. This is normally posed on the Sign Up Thread of any competition except for the World Cup, the bids are posted on separate threads and also for the Olympics, the bids are posted on the discussion thread.

'''Links:''' [[nstopic:55249|Scorinators]] &bullet; [[nspost:21400936|Bid Example]]

'''- Answering questions about your bid and voting time:''' After posting the relevant information about the bid, now comes the part to answer questions (if other users ask you about the information), it is highly recommended that you answer with details in order to resolve all doubts, which will certainly help in the election process. At the time of election, it’s just matter of waiting for the voting results. If you win, congratulations, because here it comes the main point of the essay, how this is done?

===How this is done?===
This is the next step after winning the vote, now you're in command of the organization; the first case analyzed how many participants there so far and establish how many need to meet the appropriate format to host the tournament. After completing the required number of participants, registration is closed and the thread where information is posting becomes the discussion thread where users ask and where you advertise if you have unexpected changes in the schedule due to personal reasons (Remember: RL> NS). After that you have to create the Everything Thread, where other users will post their rosters and RP's, you also have to reserve a post for information IC, which is done after creating the Everything Thread, the information IC is vital for each bid because you have to detail aspects of your nation, in addition to reporting which will be hosting venues, etc.

Normally rankings are provided in tournaments, so you should contact the manager rankings for the next step, which is to make the tournament pots and groups. In pots, registered nations are arranged in descending order of ranking, must have each pot the same number of nations, this number must be the same number of groups to be in competition, and the number of pots will be determined by the number of teams will each tournament (for example, four pots of eight teams in a tournament of 32, using the format of eight groups of four). Then proceed to make the group draw, where random.com is the recommended tool you have to do there is to place the equipment in a pot and then open other tabs (according to the number of pots) and place the teams. The random process is made and the order of the teams which will set the group, being the first member of the group A and so on.

'''Link:''' [https://www.random.org/lists/|Pot randomizer]

===What is behind the process?===
After performing this process is important, what is behind the process?

After this is done, you have to create the file scorinator; here I focus on xkoranate, which is the most complete scorinator.

You open xkoranate and then you click on the plus green on the bottom, then you see the tab for sports and choose the sport to scorinate, then the tab command, where the name of the equipment is placed is opened, the style modifier (indicates the aggressiveness of the team, being the most defensive -5 and +5 most offensive and may vary according to the sport - are not used in certain sports) in the added equipment tab, place the computer name in the first column, skill, place the team ranking and RP bonus, which is what every team wins during each Matchday (an evaluation scale used) and the section of style mod, the style modifier is placed . Then you go to the tab of format control, which is where you should put details about the tournament if ties will avail, and how many rounds will the group stage (Usually a round robin or two legs are chosen) and then the following section is the ordering of teams, where groups and the number of teams per group are set. Then you go to the next stage, where you scorinate by clicking on the dice and then "ok".

'''- RP Grading:''' This works like an evaluation tool for RP's and rosters, this activity can be done during your free time or after you post the "cut-off" alert, which means that any RP posted after that will be graded for the next matchday, it can be used different scales, being the most used the 0 - 1.5 or 0 - 3 for the hosts, the bonus given to the participant should go directly on the skill (ranking) of the nation/participant.

'''- Scorination:''' This is how the scorinator generates the results, this is the next step after the RP Grading, you copy paste the scores generated by the scorinator and you post it on the Everything Thread as a separated post.

===Tips===
This are the main elements involved during the process of scorination, though I want give some tips in order to make the experience more easy.

'''First and foremost:''' Don't bid just because you can or you arrived on NS Sports, you need to see how things work around for some time, then start bidding for small competitions, try to do your best and build a solid hosting reputation, then try to host for events like regional championships or medium size tournaments. Try to go step by step.

'''Second:''' Answer any questions made about your bid, this is key in order to try and win the bid.

'''Third:''' Don't try to send TG's or convince players to vote for you, that's considered as spam and will do a negative impact to your hosting career.

'''Fourth:''' Try to do your best and enjoy.

==Scorinators and the Maths Behind Them==
===Introduction===
One of the key aspects of sports roleplaying in NSSports is the use of a scorinator. Scorinators are, essentially, random number generators. But to reduce them to that function alone would be gross oversimplification. They typically produce scores via a combination of multiple calculations, which take multiple factors into consideration. For example, association football scorinators typically consider team strength, playing style, home advantage and a user's roleplaying as well as random. Without getting too deep into it, I intend to explain the basic challenges in devising a reliable scorination system. While much of the work is already done for an event host — i.e. the scorinators have already been made — sometimes a new user might want to introduce a new sport, and will thus need a new method of scorination.

===The Three Rs===
The first thing to note is that a common trait through any widely used scorinator — or scorination formula — is the balance of the "'''three Rs'''". That is, '''rank, roleplay bonus and random'''. Naturally, there needs to be some randomness, otherwise it would be a pretty poor analog for any sport's real life equivalent. The other two constructs are perhaps loosely equivalent to form and skill. In fact, the "rank" component is often called skill.

In order to make things mirror reality reasonably closely, a scorinator should provide some method to increase the chance of victory for a team with a better rank (nominally, the better team), and this needs to be scaled; there is no point in saying the best team in a competition and the second worst team both have an equal chance of beating the worst team. To compare to a real life scenario, would Chelsea and Burnley have an equal chance of beating Leicester City?<ref>Consider that this lecture was written in December 2014. At the time, Burnley were newly promoted back to the Premier League, while Chelsea were midway through winning their fourth Premier League title. Leicester City finished that season in 14th place, 8 points ahead of Burnley, who were relegated. Chelsea beat Leicester both times in the league that season. Burnley only managed an away draw.</ref> Bookmakers would certainly argue not, and given they rely on fairly accurate prediction of results to make money, I'm inclined to trust their judgment.

The roleplay bonus could be considered to reflect the real life perception of "form". There are several ways to calculate a team's RP bonus (and apply it) but on a base level, all it says is "the user controlling this nation has roleplayed, and they are being given a bonus to their rank/skill in order to increase their chances of winning". This correlates to form in the same way that a team playing well in real life might be considered more likely to win their next game; a team with a good RP bonus has a better chance of winning their next game.

The final component, randomness, is exactly as it sounds. At some point, a randomly generated number — I won't go into the details of how random is random here, that's an entirely different lecture, I think — will affect the outcome of any contest. In NSSports, randomness is often personified as a "neutral" deity, [[Margaret]]. Countless rubber chickens have been sacrificed in Her name, in attempts to win Her favour, yet She will inevitably favour your opponent some day. She must, she is bound by probability, after all.

===Building a scorinator - the basics===
So, you want to build a scorinator? Okay, let's take a look at the basics. I'm going to use a hypothetical sport, called OsariBall. The details of how the game is played are not relevant right now, but we know scores typically range between 0-30 points per team.

A simple RAND() function will get us base score values.
<pre>=RANDBETWEEN(0,30)</pre>
Now we need to integrate Rank and RP bonus. We have a ranking system in which rank points can vary between 0-10. We might include that in the formula like so:
<pre>=RANDBETWEEN(0,30)+RANK</pre>
A similar thing can be done with RP bonus, which can be 0-5, and we get a very basic system:
<pre>=RANDBETWEEN(0,30)+RANK+RPBONUS</pre>
This system works, providing scores from 0-45.

Theoretically, a team with max rank and RP bonus will lose to an unranked, non-RPing team roughly once every six or seven games. This isn't a major problem, though it's perhaps a little high for what we had in mind. We also have no provision to deal with giving a home team an advantage, and scores don't fall within our reasonable scoring range. We need to tweak this system to produce a serviceable formula.

===Building a scorinator - intermediate steps===
To address the inconsistencies in the basic system we just built, we need to look at what kind of probability would be acceptable for unranked teams to beat the best teams. Let's go for somewhere around one in thirty.
<pre>=RANDBETWEEN(0,20)+RANK+RPBONUS</pre>
Lowering the RANDBETWEEN boundary to twenty makes it less likely that an unranked team will top the in-form, top team. The latter already has a base of fifteen, so to calculate the probability of them losing we need to know how many combinations of RAND would align the scores the right way.

We know that the unranked team needs to score 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20 to even have a chance. That's 5/21 already, if we extrapolate the possibilities, depending on the higher ranked team's RAND result, we find that only 15 of 441 possible combinations would result in the unranked side winning. This is a probability of a little under 3.5%, or roughly one in thirty games. Excellent.

What about home team advantage? Let's say that, in a situation where all other factors are equal, we want the home team to have a slight advantage, say 5% or so.
<pre>=RANDBETWEEN(0,20)+RANK+RPBONUS+HOMEADV</pre>
...where HOMEADV is 1 for the home team

This should result in a 52% win rate for the home team (231 of 441). Increasing the home team advantage modifier to 2 makes the win rate 57%, which is perhaps too high. What about the middle ground? Well, because we're using integers, it won't make a difference to the initial 52% rate. If we want a middle value, we need to change the way we generate RAND, but that's advanced scorinator construction and a topic for another day perhaps.

===Other factors to consider===
Of course, generating realistic scores is not going to be so simple. This introductory explanation just covers how tricky it could be to find a balance between the "three Rs" just for a simple system. The more complex scorinators, like Commerce Heights' xkoranate, might use many more variables, and compare ranks in ratio based algorithms. There are modifiers to alter scores based on a team's style of play, so more defensive teams allow less points or goals for example. There are options to disable the home team advantage, or in some cases change the way the style modifiers affect scores.

If you were so inclined, you might edit the constituent files of a scorinator that complex and change other things. For example, in the association football configuration file for the SQIS method, you can see a variable called "attacks", which dictates how many times the scorinator will simulate an attack process. Increasing this will increase the number of goals scored by all teams on average.

Other scorinators might simulate match events in more detail, for example, simulation programs used on NSSports in the past for boxing and mixed martial arts have come with descriptive outputs.

Aside from all these considerations, the host of an event needs to understand the implications of using an RP bonus that might be too generous or not generous enough — How long is the event? Assuming maximum bonus, how does that affect a mid-ranked team's chances of beating a non-RPing max-ranked team?

This is just a glimpse at the math behind hosting an event in NSSports, and perhaps sheds some light on why those who develop reliable scorinators are so respected. It also highlights why those who host are selected carefully; while on the surface it's a simple task, there is a lot more to it than meets the eye.

If you don't know how to do a thing in a spreadsheet, ask me. I've ''probably'' already done it. 
And frankly, if I haven't, and it ''can'' be done... I probably know how, or can figure it out. 
 
If something around here breaks, and none of the other admin are sure how to resolve it, ping me on discord (even if I'm probably sleeping) 
I'll get to it when I can. 
 
Custodian of records for [[CAFA LigAnaia]]. 
Long-term goal of archiving all NS Sport forum threads (including Jolt-era stuff) on this server for safety, and ease of access. 
Working on a [https://nssportwiki.com/tip/ more searchable, queryable database solution] for [[The Idiot Project]] database. 
Generally trying to make a bunch of useful utilities more accessible – usually this means converting to Googlescript or VBA 
::→ To this end, the [[gsheet:1i66_FDHondT-oP259HPkrND24Zym5cnIPH4AWjJNu1Y|NS Sports Hosting Suite]] on Googlesheets contains many useful functions for scheduling and is a work-in-progress. Message me if you have ideas or requests.
Porting xkoranate to python for easier community maintenance and updating 
Also developing a [[Ikenga (software)|more detailed scorination solution]] for domestic leagues (very slowly)

I like to play around with weird concepts, and general craziness... And if people want to come along for the ride, they're welcome. The table to the left shows all the nations I control, each with their flag and a sort of ... identifying phrase, and icons for each sport they participate in — which will lead to pages with more information as and when I build them.

My main nation, '''Osarius''', has gradually become less of an obvious ''"What if Britain was..?"'' over the years, taking elements of various nations (all of whom were imperialist colonisers, I later noticed) and a mishmash of other things I just think are cool. Their status as imperialist colonisers is largely accidental, but I leaned into it when I realised my other puppets needed a "big bad evil nation" I suppose. '''Kryosis''' is actually my original nation, when I was in "I like pretending to be a psychotic dictator" mode in my teens. Which I suppose makes it the actual "big bad evil nation" but ... more comically so. Because it's so over the top. Over time, I've semi-retired the nation and use it mainly for mysterious, shadowy nonsense as and when needed. The conceptual nation '''The Thirty-Seventh Epoch''' is a placeholder for potential continuations of Kryosi nonsense in a fully digitised cyber-realm. The Emperor may or may not exist solely digitally now, you see...

'''Cobrio''' was born out of this desire to RP something that wasn't just mirroring the same nonsense I saw every day in Real Life. Spurred on a bit by the success of Black Panther in the cinema world, I leaned into making it a full-on Pan-African nation that amalgamates a bunch of different African cultures and customs into something I could have fun RPing. Characterising the nation as "Angry Wakanda" sums up the vibe I'm mostly going for. This strange middle ground between tradition and cultural heritage, but also futuristic progress. This is where most of my [[wikipedia:Afrofuturism|Afrofuturism]] concepts play out. I'm trying to expand on this as much as I can, because I find it all fascinating, but Afrofuturism also a ''vast'' genre encompassing a wide variety of ideas and concepts. '''The Djalia''' is a concept within Cobre culture, and exists as a separate nation for possible conceptual nonsense in future.

'''Akach''' was created largely to give "socialist nation" RPing a proper go. I'm taking a lot of cues from [https://thepanafrica.com/the-revolution-of-thomas-sankara-how-burkina-faso-stood-tall/ Thomas Sankara's Burkina Faso] for this one, and melding those ideas with a lot of more modern approaches to "people-first" governance. Tricky stuff, but it does give me a lot to think about. '''The Limey Isles''' (game-side nation ''Limey George'') are basically the opposite of this... it's my take on an alternate history where Britain goes the Saudi Arabia route of positioning itself as an important trade partner, rather than full-on "conquer most of the world". The logic doesn't really hold up but go with it anyway. Imagine feudal Britain, but as Saudi Arabia. With limes instead of oil. And where the Vikings were a bit more uh... invadey. Then fast forward to modern times, but leave out the bit about modernising governance, and the introduction of silly ideas like "universal suffrage" and "workers' rights". That's Limey George.

Some nations are just offbeat concepts I had years ago and never ''properly'' developed. But I keep them around for a change of pace when I'm bored of serious RP. '''Eristicea''' was my attempt to lampoon theocracy. Very heavy-handedly and not very well done at all. But it's my take on a theocratic nation based on [[wikipedia:Discordianism|Discordianism]]—which is a deliberately nonsensical statement. The nation exists now mainly for me to play around with the more ridiculous ideas I have. While '''Callistea''' is a sort of vaguely defined "cult" centred on the Ancient Greek deity [[wikipedia:Aphrodite|Aphrodite]] (and her many aspects). Again, the conecpt is deliberately ridiculous. Also a little problematic, the more I think about it. Part of the reason I don't often use it lately. I'm trying to think of ways to retcon and rehabilitate what increasingly looks like the internalised misogyny of a younger me, manifest. '''Marmaladaica''' (shout out Ko for the nation name), was originally a throwaway joke, which I then decided I would create. In a nod to the origin of the name, I figured it could be all the ''good'' things about the Caribbean—particularly Jamaica—fused with all the ''positive'' British colonial influences (and there are ''some''), all manifested in a citizenry that is made up of characters with similar morals to [[wikipedia:Paddington Bear|Paddington Bear]]. In a way, this is probably the best reflection of what I would have considered a "utopia" when I was younger. In fact, I suppose Paddington himself is a sort of idealistic vision of what an immigrant to Britain would be, and feel.

'''Xiaolin''' was another fun idea, which I haven't had a massive amount of time to develop. But really, it was my take on having a "magical" nation that wouldn't be typical fantasy with elves and dwarves and all that. I wanted something a bit more interesting. So I came up with the idea of the magic being linked to martial arts and hip hop (because I love martial arts and hip hop)—which ultimately meant I ended up with some weird wuxia-blaxploitation crossover. And I realised it was basically just me putting the Wu Tang Clan into a [[wikipedia:Wuxia|modern-Wuxia-fantasy]] setting—specifically, I realised I draw ''a lot'' from [[wikipedia:Water Margin|''Outlaws of the Marsh'']] and the concept of the [[wikipedia:108 Heroes|108 Heroes]], probably because that's the loose inspiration behind [[wikipedia:Suikoden II|my all-time favourite video game]]—so I ran with it. Similar to Akach, it's a sort of amalgamation of multiple cultures and languages. Pan-Asian, this time, though. The main problem I have with it now is trying not to fall into racialised tropes about magical Asians, I suppose. '''Kage no Ryouiki''' was supposed to be my card farming/storage puppet but I created it too late. I had so much fun coming up with ideas and concepts that I forgot that it needed to exist sooner. It's basically [[wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'s "Shadow Realm" as I imagine it, but there's a bunch of other anime-inspired and influenced "demon world" concepts floating around for that one. Feel free to count how many you recognise. Just remember I am old, we're talking about a [[wikipedia:Yu Yu Hakusho|Yu Yu Hakusho]]-to-[[wikipedia:Bleach (anime)|Bleach]] era anime fan, not your modern demon/supernatural series. I'll probably RP it more when I really dig into Xiaolin's lore, since they'd be nice opposites to play with.

'''Tobar Gainimh''', '''Diwedd Ardal''', and '''Novum-castrum''' are all just different takes on places I have lived in, with gross exaggerations to give them distinct identities. If you recognise the languages you can probably figure out the places in England they're supposed to correlate to from the names, but the characteristics I gave them don't really indicate anything beyond that. I can tell you now that the town in Staffordshire I lived in while at uni is absolutely ''not'' a modernised Ancient Rome, for example. Anyway these nations don't really serve any purpose right now beyond being useful for background stuff, and as a kind of staging ground for other ideas. Mostly to do with crazy domestic sports league concepts. And finally, '''Erdingham''' is actually my wife's old nation, which I resurrected years after she left it to die. Turns out, roleplaying in a zany political sim game wasn't her cup of tea. I don't have any real plans for it yet, beyond a vague re-telling of the history of the area I live in right now. But it's handy for background flavour at the moment. Similar to the last three.

The supranational organisations of '''The Rabastorian Union''' (which has existed in the background for a looooong time) and '''Obsidian Aperture''' are just ways to tie my nations together really. But I like having them there in case I want to build on that kind of thing and possibly bring others into the fold.

==Development Stuff==
===Xkoranate-CE===
There is a github repo containing the source code for Xkoranate, with subsequent edits to allow it to compile on newer machines. 
This version – Xkoranate-CE, or Xkoranate Community Edition – is still undergoing some updates and is still quite buggy. 
The source code is freely available in [https://github.com/NS-Sports/Xkoranate-CE/ the github repo], with updated binaries for the last release of xkoranate (v0.3.3) now available for macOS, courtesy of Jiangbei.

Any subsequent releases of the updated codebase will be found on github, likely pre-compiled for both windows and macOS as things progress – though if you use linux, you will need to compile it yourself for the time being.

If you wish to contribute, make a fork of the repository on github and submit a pull request to the dev branch containing your changes. 
Make sure you have tested the changes, and documented them fully. Once reviewed by another user, your changes can be merged into the master branch. 
Please refer to the [[gdoc:1h_5nLUJ90Qs3oYZVGRUY9hYA3lsy1btA3Lb0AW_digc|github guidance notes]] for more information.

===Xkoranate-CE Python Edition===
I have also begun gradually porting the entire code base for Xkoranate to python for easier maintenance. 
The reason for this is primarily because the original code is in C++ and Qt, but both have undergone several updates since xkoranate was written... and neither of the two are well-known languages in the NS Sports community. 
 
If you would like to contribute to the python version of Xkoranate, please (and I mean '''''please''''') let me know. 
It will likely take a long time to replicate all of the functionality in the software, so I would welcome the assistance. 
Once it is complete, it should be a lot easier to maintain and keep up to date with new versions of python and the related modules etc.

The '''Campionato Esportiva''' is [[Esportiva]]'s regional football tournament.

As of the 42nd edition, there have been 24 different nations lifting the Campionato trophy, eight of them winning more than once: [[Apox]], [[The Licentian Isles]], [[Nephara]], [[Brenecia]], [[The Hinodejin Empire]], [[Nova Anglicana]], [[Tumbra]], and [[Kanzlia]]. [[Kanzlia]] are the defending champions, having won their second title in Tumbra.

==Format==
The format of the tournament varies depending on the hosts. However, the tournament generally has a group stage followed by a knock-out stage, similar to the [[World Cup]].

==Eligibility==
*New nations residing in Esportiva after the official opening of signups are eligible to participate, as per a new ruling before the 33rd Campionato to ensure more nations can take part.
*Regulars returning from extinction after the official opening of signups may participate, provided that they have competed in previous editions of the Campionato.
*Only one puppet will be allowed per OOC user (who must declare it as such when entering it) and their final inclusion into the tournament will be entirely up to host discretion.

==Host bidding==
All participating nations are free to submit host bids. A vote will then take place among all participants (minus those to have bid to be host and puppets) to determine the host. All ballots contain an option to reject the proposed bid(s) and re-open the bidding process.

OOC:Linking to Nationstates

2026-02-17T16:16:14Z

Osarius:

To allow external linking to trusted sources without triggering the anti-spam protection on the wiki, we have added some shortcuts for linking to nationstates forum posts and factbooks.

==Forum Posts==
To get the ID of a forum post, click the little paper icon in the top left of the post you want.

[[Image:GetUniquePostLink.png]]

This will reload the page with the specified post at the top, and you can now check the address bar for the post ID, which is everything after the "p" in the URL

[[Image:GetUniquePostID.png]]

This post ID can then be used with the interwiki syntax. So <nowiki>[[nspost:12062968|a link to The History of Modern NS Sports]]</nowiki> will create [[nspost:12062968|a link to The History of Modern NS Sports]].

===Forum Topics===
Forum topic links work similarly to posts, but take you to the first page of a specific forum topic (or thread). The only change is the prefix, and that you need to take the digits from the URL after the "t=" this time. This approach is useful for linking to tournaments or other forum-based resources until they can be migrated fully onto the wiki.

<nowiki>[[nstopic:164253|Campionato Esportiva I]]</nowiki>, for example, will create [[nstopic:164253|Campionato Esportiva I]].

==Factbooks==
Factbooks work in a similar way to posts. All factbooks are actually ''dispatches'', so they also have unique IDs. If you click the factbook you want to link to, and check the address bar, it should look something like this.

[[Image:GetUniqueFactbookID.png]]

The highlighted section is the unique ID for that factbook. You can plug that into the interwiki syntax too. In this case, <nowiki>[[factbook:780065|Cobre creole phrasebook]]</nowiki> will go to [[factbook:780065|Cobre creole phrasebook]].

==Jolt Archive==
It is also possible to link to topics from the [https://nationstates.ermarian.net/jolt/ Jolt archive]. The interwiki format assumes that all relevant topics are within the NationStates subforum in the archive, however.

Similar to NS forum posts/topics, you will need to get the topic ID from the URL

[[Image:JoltArchiveURLExample.png]]

Then pass this to the interwiki syntax, with the prefix "jolt". For example, <nowiki>[[jolt:549704|Cup of Harmony 31]]</nowiki> will create the following link: [[jolt:549704|Cup of Harmony 31]].

You cannot link to a specific post in this way, unfortunately, but this should suffice for referencing for now.

'''The Limey Isles''' (more commonly referred to as '''Limey George'''), officially '''The Most Limey Isles of Albion and the Asbestions''' — formerly the '''Fiefdom of Limey George, encompassing the entirety of the Isle of Albion and the surrounding Limey Isles''', and also known as the '''Isles of Albion''' — is an island nation in [[Esportiva]], situated due south of [[Apox]], with a population of approximately 4 million as of year 1037 of the [[#Modern Era|Modern Limey Era]]. The capital and largest city in Limey George is [[Georgstead]].

The Limey Isles have a total area of {{convert|385,207|km2|sqmi}}, including all land throughout the Isles. As an [[wp:absolute monarchy|absolute monarchy]], all power lies with the ruler of the Isles — officially the "Most Esteemed Leader" — typically chosen from among the previous ruler's family and close associates. In addition, the Limey state has complete ownership of all land and natural resources falling within its claimed territory, which now also includes several smaller, offshore islands. Primary among these resources is a large amount of orchards, producing the nation's main export: limes.

The Isles have both administrative and political subdivisions on two levels: regions and districts. These subdivisions are typically appointed a Governor, who is entitled to run them as they see fit, providing they pay tribute to the Most Esteemed Leader.

== History ==
{{Main|History of The Limey Isles}}

The History of The Limey Isles is typically split into three broad eras: Ancient, Pre-Georgian, and Modern. For a brief overview of the Modern History of The Limey Isles, see [[nsfactbook:1564843|here]].

=== Modern Era ===
=== Pre-Modern Era ====
While technically the "Middle Ages", many historical accounts start the Modern Era at the time of the birth of "Original George", George I of House Limjorgson. The thirty-four years between that date, and the beginning of the modern limey calendar are considered the "Pre-Modern Era", and encompass George I's rise to power.

==== Early Modern Era ====
The Modern Era officially begins on the day "original George" — formally '''George I of House Limjorgson''', despite being a junior himself — completed the purchase of all lands in the Limey Isles. He would formally be inaugurated as ''Sire Paramount of the Isles'' three days later. That year is typically labelled as "1 ME" (''1''st year of the ''M''odern ''E''ra). This arrangement was later codified by the establishment of the [[Limey calendar]].

== Geography ==
{{Main|Geography of The Limey Isles}}

The total area of The Limey Isles is approximately {{convert|385,207|km2|sqmi}}, with a total land area of approximately {{convert|381,354|km2|sqmi}}. The country occupies the entirety of the [[Isle of Albion]], as well as around forty tiny, surrounding islands. It lies directly south of [[Apox]] in the region of [[Esportiva]].

As only three of the offshore islands are considered habitable, these are reserved for the Most Esteemed Leader's private use, and do not fall under the jurisdiction of any region or district, instead being classed as special districts, not appearing on any map. Four other islands are used by the military for either training or weapons testing, and do not appear on maps either. The remaining islands have varying functions ranging from storage to research outposts, and are all small enough that they are typically omitted from maps.

=== Climate ===
The climate of The Limey Isles is classified as [[wikipedia:Mediterranean_climate#Hot-summer_Mediterranean_climate|hot summer mediterranean]] ([[wikipedia:Köppen_climate_classification|Köppen]]: Csa), with temperatures typically ranging from 9-15 degrees Celsius in winter (48-59 degrees Fahrenheit), and 28-36 degrees Celsius (82-97 degrees Fahrenheit) in summer — though there is a lot of variation which exceeds those bounds. Some locations, particularly in the [[Ilddalen (Limey George)|Ilddalen]] ("Valley of Fire") will be significantly warmer, potentially reaching 40 degrees Celsius (approximately 104 degrees Fahrenheit) and hotter, though it is rare to have temperatures below 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) in summer anywhere on the Isles.

There are roughly 50-60 days of precipitation per year, largely falling in the winter months, often torrentially. Snow is essentially unheard of. There are records of heavy thunderstorms in the area around [[Bermont (Limey George)|Bermont]] during summer, due to cold ocean currents and sometimes cooler winds blowing over the mountains to the west, but this is very rare. It is more common for heavy fog to occur instead.

=== Volcanoes ===
Several extinct volcanoes are present on the Isle of Albion, predominantly in the North and Central regions.

=== Biodiversity ===
The Limey Isles are home to several unique flora and fauna. Some are detailed below.
==== [[Citrus georgos]] ====
The soil composition in specific areas of the Isles is unique, due to a combination of minerals from volcanic activity in antiquity, which has given rise to a unique species of lime, ''[[Citrus georgos]]'', found only on the Isle of Albion. This fruit has driven much of the economic development of the Isles in the [[#Modern Era|Modern Era]], and is the primary contributor to the wealth of the Most Esteemed Leader. The state company [[Georgeco]] was originally established to manage all aspects of the lime industry within the Isles, from research and cultivation to harvest and export.

==== [[Capra rupestris mineralis]] ====
Colloquially known as the "Crag Goat", a sure-footed goat that thrives in the high altitudes of the extinct volcanoes on the Isles. It has short, stocky horns and a thick woolly coat to provide both warmth in winter and protection from the intense sun in summer. Its digestive system has adapted to process the various mineral-heavy grasses and plants found in its habitat, which allows it to digest foods other animals would struggle with. Its milk is said to be incredibly rich and creamy due to this mineral-rich diet.

==== [[Ignifrons sulfurosus]] ====
Known locally as the "Cinnabar Fern", it is a unique plant that thrives in the high-sulfur, volcanic soil found in the foothills of the extinct volcanoes on the Isles. Its fronds are a vibrant, fiery red and orange, and have a pungent aroma when crushed. As a result, the plant is deliberately cultivated in or near lime orchards to protect the crops from most herbivores. Crushed cinnabar fronds are a common addition to other fields for similar reasons, and are often exported to other nations.

==== [[Quercus saxosus]] ====
A limey-native species of oak, known colloquially as "Stone Oak". It is a slow-growing tree which has adapted to the high concentrations of calcium and magnesium in the volcanic soil of the Isles. As a result, these minerals are absorbed and incorporated into the tree's wood, giving it an incredibly dense, stone-like hardness. The leaves are pale green, almost chalky, and the bark is rough. The difficulty in felling and processing these trees — combined with the slow growth limiting available supply — means the wood is extremely valuable, and is typically only used in specific construction projects deemed to be of national significance. The wood can be bought for private projects — most commonly for high quality tools — though at a very high premium.

==== [[Circus basalticus]] ====
Otherwise known as the "Stone Harrier", this bird of prey with dappled black and grey feathers has the unusual quality of having incredibly dense and hard talons and leg bones due to the mineral content of its diet. As a result, it can deliver powerful, bone-shattering strikes when hunting, meaning it is capable of hunting larger prey than a typical harrier, such as a crag goat. In some parts of the country, stone harriers are kept and trained for hunting purposes.

== Demographics ==

=== Religion ===
The Fiefdom is ostensibly secular, with the majority of Limey people professing no adherence to a belief in a higher power. Sarcastically, Limeys often refer to their religious beliefs as "Limeism" — that is, the cultivation, harvest, processing, and export of limes is essentially their "religion". The collective rejection of religion is thought to be largely a continuation of George I's rejection of religion, though throughout history, various religions have garnered a reasonable following — and often been persecuted — within Albion. In recent times, active religious persecution is rare, and some new faiths have sprung up within the Fiefdom, but the people of Albion are still largely atheist, and many still look unfavourably on those who believe in a "higher power" of any description.

==== [[Georgeism (Limey religion)|Georgeism]] ====
Perhaps the first religious belief system to be considered "mainstream" within Albion was [[Georgeism (Limey religion)|Georgeism]]. The belief system grew out of reverence for the first Most Esteemed Leader, George I. The design of a national banner (later, a flag) incorporated this reverence, alongside the veneration of the lime — itself the vector for the nation's growth and prosperity.

The failure of other people on the Isle to successfully cultivate a lime tree not grown from a cutting of one of George's trees, ''provided by George himself'' had led to the veneration of the man as an "ubermensch" and "chosen by a higher power". Many began to signify this belief with the sign of a cross, the two bars representing this "higher power" and the people it affected. At the intersection lay George. Some also said that the four points of this cross represented the four attributes of the lime: taste, health, colour, and value. George I was not a fan. He openly denounced the idea of a higher power, and implored the people to not show reverence to this cross symbol with the infamous sentence that would later become the national motto: "no cross. only lime."

At various points in history, Georgeists have been persecuted under the "Discordance" laws, though in recent times, researchers have discovered that the cultivation of Citrus georgos depends on a specific mineral composition in the soil, leading to a dramatic decline in followers of Georgeism. Their numbers are now small enough that they are largely ignored by the authorities as a result.

==== Church of Lime ====
The [[Church of Lime (Limey religion)|Church of Lime]] believes that George I was chosen by a supernatural being known as the "[[Citrus Mother (Church of Lime)|Citrus Mother]]", and this is why nobody else was able to cultivate the lime on the Isle of Albion. The specifics around the Citrus Mother are few and far between, though it is implied that She controls all aspects of citrus plant life.

During the reign of [[George XIII of House Limjorgson|George XIII]], the Church was persecuted heavily after insinuating that the Citrus Mother did not approve of the Most Esteemed Leader following a relatively poor harvest. It is believed that the Church counted adherents in six figures at the time, but this had dwindled to approximately 9,000 by the time George XIV ascended.

In modern times, many consider the Church of Lime to be an amalgamation of various folk superstitions and pagan beliefs. As a result, they are not taken too seriously, though many of their phrases and aphorisms have entered common Limey vernacular.

==== Marauder paganism ====
Since the Age of Marauders, there has been a notable population of those following a form of [[wikipedia:Germanic paganism|paganism]] known as [[wikipedia:Norse paganism|Marauder paganism]]. During the reign of George XI, these practices were prohibited, and practitioners were persecuted severely for the crime of "[[#Discordance law|Discordance]]" (negatively affecting the collective output of the nation). In modern times, small remnants of the marauder beliefs survive, largely in the form of personal names, or referential names of locations. Modern interest in the old ways has led to a revival of pagan religious practices in the form of ''[[wikipedia:Germanic Neopaganism|Aldweg]], or "The Old Way".'' Notably, Marauder paganism has heavily influenced traditional Limey culture, and can be seen most prominently in the names of the days of the week, or the Limey months.

=== Education ===
Education in the Fiefdom is free of charge, and mandatory from age five until age fourteen. Primarily, education focuses on shaping the youth into "productive members of Limey society", and as a result, does not place much stock in literacy. Numeracy is considered reasonably important, however. The majority of classes focus on "concordance" (the opposite of [[#Discordance law|discordance]]) and "Umbótsamfelldr" (continuous improvement), which encourages co-operative work, and seeks to foster a "drive to improve the nation". In addition, all students learn "[[#Citriculture|citriculture]]", which covers the basics of lime cultivation and harvest. These subjects are supplemented with history, civics, and physical education. Critics of the Limey education system have stated that the curriculum is heavily biased to paint the Most Esteemed Leader, and the nation's intensely production-driven economy in a positive light, while restricting information on alternative systems of governance or economy.

Beyond age fourteen, there are four options for students: join the workforce as an apprentice for four years; join the military; specialise in citriculture studies for three years, with a chosen focus for two additional years; or specialise in history and civics for five years with a year in the military. In recent years, a "sportsmanship" path has opened up for gifted athletes, who can focus their development around their athletic ability, while taking supplementary citriculture classes. This path is extremely limited, however, and admittance is typically subject to the approval of Governors.

Students choosing to specialise in history and civics are typically the children of higher ranking members of Limey society, and typically go into politics, or become instructors at educational establishments. The profession of "teaching" does not exist in the Fiefdom, though the wealthy may hire experts or masters to tutor their children or wards.

====Citriculture====
{{main|Citriculture}}
Citriculture is a branch of agriculture geared completely toward the cultivation of citrus plants. While the majority of citriculture in the Fiefdom focuses on limes, other citrus cultivars are also covered in the final two years of schooling. After completing mandatory education, students can choose to continue into a specialised citriculture course, and upon completion, are almost guaranteed lucrative employment by the state.

Mastery of citriculture is one of the few vehicles for social progression in the Fiefdom, and offers a pathway out of serfdom and into the middle ranks of society. On very rare occasions, citriculture masters may even be granted lands.

As a result, it can deliver powerful, bone-shattering strikes when hunting, meaning it is capable of hunting larger prey than a typical harrier, such as a crag goat. In some parts of the country, stone harriers are kept and trained for hunting purposes.

== Demographics ==

=== Religion ===
The Fiefdom is ostensibly secular, with the majority of Limey people professing no adherence to a belief in a higher power. Sarcastically, Limeys often refer to their religious beliefs as "Limeism" — that is, the cultivation, harvest, processing, and export of limes is essentially their "religion". The collective rejection of religion is thought to be largely a continuation of George I's rejection of religion, though throughout history, various religions have garnered a reasonable following — and often been persecuted — within Albion. In recent times, active religious persecution is rare, and some new faiths have sprung up within the Fiefdom, but the people of Albion are still largely atheist, and many still look unfavourably on those who believe in a "higher power" of any description.

==== [[Georgeism (Limey religion)|Georgeism]] ====
Perhaps the first religious belief system to be considered "mainstream" within Albion was [[Georgeism (Limey religion)|Georgeism]]. The belief system grew out of reverence for the first Most Esteemed Leader, George I. The design of a national banner (later, a flag) incorporated this reverence, alongside the veneration of the lime — itself the vector for the nation's growth and prosperity.

The failure of other people on the Isle to successfully cultivate a lime tree not grown from a cutting of one of George's trees, ''provided by George himself'' had led to the veneration of the man as an "ubermensch" and "chosen by a higher power". Many began to signify this belief with the sign of a cross, the two bars representing this "higher power" and the people it affected. At the intersection lay George. Some also said that the four points of this cross represented the four attributes of the lime: taste, health, colour, and value. George I was not a fan. He openly denounced the idea of a higher power, and implored the people to not show reverence to this cross symbol with the infamous sentence that would later become the national motto: "no cross. only lime."

At various points in history, Georgeists have been persecuted under the "Discordance" laws, though in recent times, researchers have discovered that the cultivation of Citrus georgos depends on a specific mineral composition in the soil, leading to a dramatic decline in followers of Georgeism. Their numbers are now small enough that they are largely ignored by the authorities as a result.

==== Church of Lime ====
The [[Church of Lime (Limey religion)|Church of Lime]] believes that George I was chosen by a supernatural being known as the "[[Citrus Mother (Church of Lime)|Citrus Mother]]", and this is why nobody else was able to cultivate the lime on the Isle of Albion. The specifics around the Citrus Mother are few and far between, though it is implied that She controls all aspects of citrus plant life.

During the reign of [[George XIII of House Limjorgson|George XIII]], the Church was persecuted heavily after insinuating that the Citrus Mother did not approve of the Most Esteemed Leader following a relatively poor harvest. It is believed that the Church counted adherents in six figures at the time, but this had dwindled to approximately 9,000 by the time George XIV ascended.

In modern times, many consider the Church of Lime to be an amalgamation of various folk superstitions and pagan beliefs. As a result, they are not taken too seriously, though many of their phrases and aphorisms have entered common Limey vernacular.

==== Marauder paganism ====
Since the Age of Marauders, there has been a notable population of those following a form of [[wikipedia:Germanic paganism|paganism]] known as [[wikipedia:Norse paganism|Marauder paganism]]. During the reign of George XI, these practices were prohibited, and practitioners were persecuted severely for the crime of "[[#Discordance law|Discordance]]" (negatively affecting the collective output of the nation). In modern times, small remnants of the marauder beliefs survive, largely in the form of personal names, or referential names of locations. Modern interest in the old ways has led to a revival of pagan religious practices in the form of ''[[wp:Germanic Neopaganism|Aldweg]], or "The Old Way".'' Notably, Marauder paganism has heavily influenced traditional Limey culture, and can be seen most prominently in the names of the days of the week, or the Limey months.

=== Education ===
Education in the Fiefdom is free of charge, and mandatory from age five until age fourteen. Primarily, education focuses on shaping the youth into "productive members of Limey society", and as a result, does not place much stock in literacy. Numeracy is considered reasonably important, however. The majority of classes focus on "concordance" (the opposite of [[#Discordance law|discordance]]) and "Umbótsamfelldr" (continuous improvement), which encourages co-operative work, and seeks to foster a "drive to improve the nation". In addition, all students learn "[[#Citriculture|citriculture]]", which covers the basics of lime cultivation and harvest. These subjects are supplemented with history, civics, and physical education. Critics of the Limey education system have stated that the curriculum is heavily biased to paint the Most Esteemed Leader, and the nation's intensely production-driven economy in a positive light, while restricting information on alternative systems of governance or economy.

Beyond age fourteen, there are four options for students: join the workforce as an apprentice for four years; join the military; specialise in citriculture studies for three years, with a chosen focus for two additional years; or specialise in history and civics for five years with a year in the military. In recent years, a "sportsmanship" path has opened up for gifted athletes, who can focus their development around their athletic ability, while taking supplementary citriculture classes. This path is extremely limited, however, and admittance is typically subject to the approval of Governors.

Students choosing to specialise in history and civics are typically the children of higher ranking members of Limey society, and typically go into politics, or become instructors at educational establishments. The profession of "teaching" does not exist in the Fiefdom, though the wealthy may hire experts or masters to tutor their children or wards.

====Citriculture====
{{main|Citriculture}}
Citriculture is a branch of agriculture geared completely toward the cultivation of citrus plants. While the majority of citriculture in the Fiefdom focuses on limes, other citrus cultivars are also covered in the final two years of schooling. After completing mandatory education, students can choose to continue into a specialised citriculture course, and upon completion, are almost guaranteed lucrative employment by the state.

Mastery of citriculture is one of the few vehicles for social progression in the Fiefdom, and offers a pathway out of serfdom and into the middle ranks of society. On very rare occasions, citriculture masters may even be granted lands.

}}<noinclude>__NOTOC__
==Usage==
Useful for summarising sports in a nation, or series of nations within a table or infobox without cluttering things up with lengthy links. See [[User:Osarius#My nations|here]] for an example usage.

The '''nation''' is required, while the '''sport''' passed determines which icon is linked. 
If no sport is passed, the link will default to a medal icon (🏅) and "Sports in NATION".

'''For example:''' <nowiki>{{SportIcon|sport=Football|nation=Osarius}}</nowiki> produces {{SportIcon|sport=Football|nation=Osarius}}, which links to ''"Association Football in Osarius"''.

The default link value is usually the '''sport''', but some exceptions exist. 
Regardless of the default behaviour, this can also be overridden with the '''override''' parameter. 
So passing override="Team Sports" when using sport="Football" will link to ''"Team Sports in NATION"'' but show the soccer ball icon.

'''For example:''' <nowiki>{{SportIcon|sport=Athletics|nation=Aquillian|override=Track & Field Athletics Competitions}}</nowiki> produces {{SportIcon|sport=Athletics|nation=Aquillian|override=Track & Field Athletics Competitions}}, which displays the "Athletics" symbol (as seen in the table below), but links to ''"Track & Field Athletics Competitions in Aquillian"'' because of the value passed to '''override'''.

===Unnamed parameters===
You can also use the template without labelling your parameters. It expects them to be in the order: '''nation, sport, override'''. Only '''nation''' is mandatory.

'''For example:''' <nowiki>{{SportIcon|Football|Osarius}}</nowiki> will produce the same output as <nowiki>{{SportIcon|sport=Football|nation=Osarius}}</nowiki>: {{SportIcon|Football|Osarius}}, linking to "Association Football in Osarius".

<nowiki>{{SportIcon|Athletics|Aquillian|Track & Field Athletics Competitions}}</nowiki> will produce the same output as <nowiki>{{SportIcon|sport=Athletics|nation=Aquillian|override=Track & Field Athletics Competitions}}</nowiki> : {{SportIcon|sport=Athletics|nation=Aquillian|override=Track & Field Athletics Competitions}}

<nowiki>{{SportIcon|Cobrio}}</nowiki> will produce generic link to "Sports in NATION", using the default icon, like so: {{SportIcon|Cobrio}} 
This final case is because the other two values are not mandatory. When no sport is present, the template defaults to "Sports in" and uses the medal icon. With no override, the default link remains unchanged.

I like to play around with weird concepts, and general craziness... And if people want to come along for the ride, they're welcome. The table to the left shows all the nations I control, each with their flag and a sort of ... identifying phrase, and icons for each sport they participate in — which will lead to pages with more information as and when I build them.

My main nation, '''Osarius''', has gradually become less of an obvious ''"What if Britain was..?"'' over the years, taking elements of various nations (all of whom were imperialist colonisers, I later noticed) and a mishmash of other things I just think are cool. Their status as imperialist colonisers is largely accidental, but I leaned into it when I realised my other puppets needed a "big bad evil nation" I suppose. '''Kryosis''' is actually my original nation, when I was in "I like pretending to be a psychotic dictator" mode in my teens. Which I suppose makes it the actual "big bad evil nation" but ... more comically so. Because it's so over the top. Over time, I've semi-retired the nation and use it mainly for mysterious, shadowy nonsense as and when needed. The conceptual nation '''The Thirty-Seventh Epoch''' is a placeholder for potential continuations of Kryosi nonsense in a fully digitised cyber-realm. The Emperor may or may not exist solely digitally now, you see...

'''Cobrio''' was born out of this desire to RP something that wasn't just mirroring the same nonsense I saw every day in Real Life. Spurred on a bit by the success of Black Panther in the cinema world, I leaned into making it a full-on Pan-African nation that amalgamates a bunch of different African cultures and customs into something I could have fun RPing. Characterising the nation as "Angry Wakanda" sums up the vibe I'm mostly going for. This strange middle ground between tradition and cultural heritage, but also futuristic progress. This is where most of my [[wikipedia:Afrofuturism|Afrofuturism]] concepts play out. I'm trying to expand on this as much as I can, because I find it all fascinating, but Afrofuturism also a ''vast'' genre encompassing a wide variety of ideas and concepts. '''The Djalia''' is a concept within Cobre culture, and exists as a separate nation for possible conceptual nonsense in future.

'''Akach''' was created largely to give "socialist nation" RPing a proper go. I'm taking a lot of cues from [https://thepanafrica.com/the-revolution-of-thomas-sankara-how-burkina-faso-stood-tall/ Thomas Sankara's Burkina Faso] for this one, and melding those ideas with a lot of more modern approaches to "people-first" governance. Tricky stuff, but it does give me a lot to think about. '''The Limey Isles''' (game-side nation ''Limey George'') are basically the opposite of this... it's my take on an alternate history where Britain goes the Saudi Arabia route of positioning itself as an important trade partner, rather than full-on "conquer most of the world". The logic doesn't really hold up but go with it anyway. Imagine feudal Britain, but as Saudi Arabia. With limes instead of oil. And where the Vikings were a bit more uh... invadey. Then fast forward to modern times, but leave out the bit about modernising governance, and the introduction of silly ideas like "universal suffrage" and "workers' rights". That's Limey George.

Some nations are just offbeat concepts I had years ago and never ''properly'' developed. But I keep them around for a change of pace when I'm bored of serious RP. '''Eristicea''' was my attempt to lampoon theocracy. Very heavy-handedly and not very well done at all. But it's my take on a theocratic nation based on [[wikipedia:Discordianism|Discordianism]]—which is a deliberately nonsensical statement. The nation exists now mainly for me to play around with the more ridiculous ideas I have. While '''Callistea''' is a sort of vaguely defined "cult" centred on the Ancient Greek deity [[wikipedia:Aphrodite|Aphrodite]] (and her many aspects). Again, the conecpt is deliberately ridiculous. Also a little problematic, the more I think about it. Part of the reason I don't often use it lately. I'm trying to think of ways to retcon and rehabilitate what increasingly looks like the internalised misogyny of a younger me, manifest. '''Marmaladaica''' (shout out Ko for the nation name), was originally a throwaway joke, which I then decided I would create. In a nod to the origin of the name, I figured it could be all the ''good'' things about the Caribbean—particularly Jamaica—fused with all the ''positive'' British colonial influences (and there are ''some''), all manifested in a citizenry that is made up of characters with similar morals to [[wikipedia:Paddington Bear|Paddington Bear]]. In a way, this is probably the best reflection of what I would have considered a "utopia" when I was younger. In fact, I suppose Paddington himself is a sort of idealistic vision of what an immigrant to Britain would be, and feel.

'''Xiaolin''' was another fun idea, which I haven't had a massive amount of time to develop. But really, it was my take on having a "magical" nation that wouldn't be typical fantasy with elves and dwarves and all that. I wanted something a bit more interesting. So I came up with the idea of the magic being linked to martial arts and hip hop (because I love martial arts and hip hop)—which ultimately meant I ended up with some weird wuxia-blaxploitation crossover. And I realised it was basically just me putting the Wu Tang Clan into a [[wikipedia:Wuxia|modern-Wuxia-fantasy]] setting—specifically, I realised I draw ''a lot'' from [[wikipedia:Water Margin|''Outlaws of the Marsh'']] and the concept of the [[wikipedia:108 Heroes|108 Heroes]], probably because that's the loose inspiration behind [[wikipedia:Suikoden II|my all-time favourite video game]]—so I ran with it. Similar to Akach, it's a sort of amalgamation of multiple cultures and languages. Pan-Asian, this time, though. The main problem I have with it now is trying not to fall into racialised tropes about magical Asians, I suppose. '''Kage no Ryouiki''' was supposed to be my card farming/storage puppet but I created it too late. I had so much fun coming up with ideas and concepts that I forgot that it needed to exist sooner. It's basically [[wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'s "Shadow Realm" as I imagine it, but there's a bunch of other anime-inspired and influenced "demon world" concepts floating around for that one. Feel free to count how many you recognise. Just remember I am old, we're talking about a [[wikipedia:Yu Yu Hakusho|Yu Yu Hakusho]]-to-[[wikipedia:Bleach (anime)|Bleach]] era anime fan, not your modern demon/supernatural series. I'll probably RP it more when I really dig into Xiaolin's lore, since they'd be nice opposites to play with.

'''Tobar Gainimh''', '''Diwedd Ardal''', and '''Novum-castrum''' are all just different takes on places I have lived in, with gross exaggerations to give them distinct identities. If you recognise the languages you can probably figure out the places in England they're supposed to correlate to from the names, but the characteristics I gave them don't really indicate anything beyond that. I can tell you now that the town in Staffordshire I lived in while at uni is absolutely ''not'' a modernised Ancient Rome, for example. Anyway these nations don't really serve any purpose right now beyond being useful for background stuff, and as a kind of staging ground for other ideas. Mostly to do with crazy domestic sports league concepts. And finally, '''Erdingham''' is actually my wife's old nation, which I resurrected years after she left it to die. Turns out, roleplaying in a zany political sim game wasn't her cup of tea. I don't have any real plans for it yet, beyond a vague re-telling of the history of the area I live in right now. But it's handy for background flavour at the moment. Similar to the last three.

The supranational organisations of '''The Rabastorian Union''' (which has existed in the background for a looooong time) and '''Obsidian Aperture''' are just ways to tie my nations together really. But I like having them there in case I want to build on that kind of thing and possibly bring others into the fold.

==Development Stuff==
===Xkoranate-CE===
There is a github repo containing the source code for Xkoranate, with subsequent edits to allow it to compile on newer machines. 
This version – Xkoranate-CE, or Xkoranate Community Edition – is still undergoing some updates and is still quite buggy. 
The source code is freely available in [https://github.com/NS-Sports/Xkoranate-CE/ the github repo], with updated binaries for the last release of xkoranate (v0.3.3) now available for macOS, courtesy of Jiangbei.

Any subsequent releases of the updated codebase will be found on github, likely pre-compiled for both windows and macOS as things progress – though if you use linux, you will need to compile it yourself for the time being.

If you wish to contribute, make a fork of the repository on github and submit a pull request to the dev branch containing your changes. 
Make sure you have tested the changes, and documented them fully. Once reviewed by another user, your changes can be merged into the master branch. 
Please refer to the [[gdoc:1h_5nLUJ90Qs3oYZVGRUY9hYA3lsy1btA3Lb0AW_digc|github guidance notes]] for more information.

===Xkoranate-CE Python Edition===
I have also begun gradually porting the entire code base for Xkoranate to python for easier maintenance. 
The reason for this is primarily because the original code is in C++ and Qt, but both have undergone several updates since xkoranate was written... and neither of the two are well-known languages in the NS Sports community. 
 
If you would like to contribute to the python version of Xkoranate, please (and I mean '''''please''''') let me know. 
It will likely take a long time to replicate all of the functionality in the software, so I would welcome the assistance. 
Once it is complete, it should be a lot easier to maintain and keep up to date with new versions of python and the related modules etc.

I like to play around with weird concepts, and general craziness... And if people want to come along for the ride, they're welcome. The table to the left shows all the nations I control, each with their flag and a sort of ... identifying phrase, and icons for each sport they participate in — which will lead to pages with more information as and when I build them.

My main nation, '''Osarius''', has gradually become less of an obvious ''"What if Britain was..?"'' over the years, taking elements of various nations (all of whom were imperialist colonisers, I later noticed) and a mishmash of other things I just think are cool. Their status as imperialist colonisers is largely accidental, but I leaned into it when I realised my other puppets needed a "big bad evil nation" I suppose. '''Kryosis''' is actually my original nation, when I was in "I like pretending to be a psychotic dictator" mode in my teens. Which I suppose makes it the actual "big bad evil nation" but ... more comically so. Because it's so over the top. Over time, I've semi-retired the nation and use it mainly for mysterious, shadowy nonsense as and when needed. The conceptual nation '''The Thirty-Seventh Epoch''' is a placeholder for potential continuations of Kryosi nonsense in a fully digitised cyber-realm. The Emperor may or may not exist solely digitally now, you see...

'''Cobrio''' was born out of this desire to RP something that wasn't just mirroring the same nonsense I saw every day in Real Life. Spurred on a bit by the success of Black Panther in the cinema world, I leaned into making it a full-on Pan-African nation that amalgamates a bunch of different African cultures and customs into something I could have fun RPing. Characterising the nation as "Angry Wakanda" sums up the vibe I'm mostly going for. This strange middle ground between tradition and cultural heritage, but also futuristic progress. This is where most of my [[wikipedia:Afrofuturism|Afrofuturism]] concepts play out. I'm trying to expand on this as much as I can, because I find it all fascinating, but Afrofuturism also a ''vast'' genre encompassing a wide variety of ideas and concepts. '''The Djalia''' is a concept within Cobre culture, and exists as a separate nation for possible conceptual nonsense in future.

'''Akach''' was created largely to give "socialist nation" RPing a proper go. I'm taking a lot of cues from [https://thepanafrica.com/the-revolution-of-thomas-sankara-how-burkina-faso-stood-tall/ Thomas Sankara's Burkina Faso] for this one, and melding those ideas with a lot of more modern approaches to "people-first" governance. Tricky stuff, but it does give me a lot to think about. '''The Limey Isles''' (game-side nation ''Limey George'') are basically the opposite of this... it's my take on an alternate history where Britain goes the Saudi Arabia route of positioning itself as an important trade partner, rather than full-on "conquer most of the world". The logic doesn't really hold up but go with it anyway. Imagine feudal Britain, but as Saudi Arabia. With limes instead of oil. And where the Vikings were a bit more uh... invadey. Then fast forward to modern times, but leave out the bit about modernising governance, and the introduction of silly ideas like "universal suffrage" and "workers' rights". That's Limey George.

Some nations are just offbeat concepts I had years ago and never ''properly'' developed. But I keep them around for a change of pace when I'm bored of serious RP. '''Eristicea''' was my attempt to lampoon theocracy. Very heavy-handedly and not very well done at all. But it's my take on a theocratic nation based on [[wikipedia:Discordianism|Discordianism]]—which is a deliberately nonsensical statement. The nation exists now mainly for me to play around with the more ridiculous ideas I have. While '''Callistea''' is a sort of vaguely defined "cult" centred on the Ancient Greek deity [[wikipedia:Aphrodite|Aphrodite]] (and her many aspects). Again, the conecpt is deliberately ridiculous. Also a little problematic, the more I think about it. Part of the reason I don't often use it lately. I'm trying to think of ways to retcon and rehabilitate what increasingly looks like the internalised misogyny of a younger me, manifest. '''Marmaladaica''' (shout out Ko for the nation name), was originally a throwaway joke, which I then decided I would create. In a nod to the origin of the name, I figured it could be all the ''good'' things about the Caribbean—particularly Jamaica—fused with all the ''positive'' British colonial influences (and there are ''some''), all manifested in a citizenry that is made up of characters with similar morals to [[wikipedia:Paddington Bear|Paddington Bear]]. In a way, this is probably the best reflection of what I would have considered a "utopia" when I was younger. In fact, I suppose Paddington himself is a sort of idealistic vision of what an immigrant to Britain would be, and feel.

'''Xiaolin''' was another fun idea, which I haven't had a massive amount of time to develop. But really, it was my take on having a "magical" nation that wouldn't be typical fantasy with elves and dwarves and all that. I wanted something a bit more interesting. So I came up with the idea of the magic being linked to martial arts and hip hop (because I love martial arts and hip hop)—which ultimately meant I ended up with some weird wuxia-blaxploitation crossover. And I realised it was basically just me putting the Wu Tang Clan into a [[wikipedia:Wuxia|modern-Wuxia-fantasy]] setting—specifically, I realised I draw ''a lot'' from [[wikipedia:Water Margin|''Outlaws of the Marsh'']] and the concept of the [[wikipedia:108 Heroes|108 Heroes]], probably because that's the loose inspiration behind [[wikipedia:Suikoden II|my all-time favourite video game]]—so I ran with it. Similar to Akach, it's a sort of amalgamation of multiple cultures and languages. Pan-Asian, this time, though. The main problem I have with it now is trying not to fall into racialised tropes about magical Asians, I suppose. '''Kage no Ryouiki''' was supposed to be my card farming/storage puppet but I created it too late. I had so much fun coming up with ideas and concepts that I forgot that it needed to exist sooner. It's basically [[wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'s "Shadow Realm" as I imagine it, but there's a bunch of other anime-inspired and influenced "demon world" concepts floating around for that one. Feel free to count how many you recognise. Just remember I am old, we're talking about a [[wikipedia:Yu Yu Hakusho|Yu Yu Hakusho]]-to-[[wikipedia:Bleach (anime)|Bleach]] era anime fan, not your modern demon/supernatural series. I'll probably RP it more when I really dig into Xiaolin's lore, since they'd be nice opposites to play with.

'''Tobar Gainimh''', '''Diwedd Ardal''', and '''Novum-castrum''' are all just different takes on places I have lived in, with gross exaggerations to give them distinct identities. If you recognise the languages you can probably figure out the places in England they're supposed to correlate to from the names, but the characteristics I gave them don't really indicate anything beyond that. I can tell you now that the town in Staffordshire I lived in while at uni is absolutely ''not'' a modernised Ancient Rome, for example. Anyway these nations don't really serve any purpose right now beyond being useful for background stuff, and as a kind of staging ground for other ideas. Mostly to do with crazy domestic sports league concepts. And finally, '''Erdingham''' is actually my wife's old nation, which I resurrected years after she left it to die. Turns out, roleplaying in a zany political sim game wasn't her cup of tea. I don't have any real plans for it yet, beyond a vague re-telling of the history of the area I live in right now.

But I like having them there in case I want to build on that kind of thing and possibly bring others into the fold.

}}<noinclude>__NOTOC__
==Usage==
Useful for summarising sports in a nation, or series of nations within a table or infobox without cluttering things up with lengthy links. See [[User:Osarius#My nations|here]] for an example usage.

The '''nation''' is required, while the '''sport''' passed determines which icon is linked. 
If no sport is passed, the link will default to a medal icon (🏅) and "Sports in NATION".

'''For example:''' <nowiki>{{SportIcon|sport=Football|nation=Osarius}}</nowiki> produces {{SportIcon|sport=Football|nation=Osarius}}, which links to ''"Association Football in Osarius"''.

The default link value is usually the '''sport''', but some exceptions exist. 
Regardless of the default behaviour, this can also be overridden with the '''override''' parameter. 
So passing override="Team Sports" when using sport="Football" will link to ''"Team Sports in NATION"'' but show the soccer ball icon.

'''For example:''' <nowiki>{{SportIcon|sport=Athletics|nation=Aquillian|override=Track & Field Athletics Competitions}}</nowiki> produces {{SportIcon|sport=Athletics|nation=Aquillian|override=Track & Field Athletics Competitions}}, which displays the "Athletics" symbol (as seen in the table below), but links to ''"Track & Field Athletics Competitions in Aquillian"'' because of the value passed to '''override'''.

===Unnamed parameters===
You can also use the template without labelling your parameters. It expects them to be in the order: '''nation, sport, override'''. Only '''nation''' is mandatory.

'''For example:''' <nowiki>{{SportIcon|Football|Osarius}}</nowiki> will produce the same output as <nowiki>{{SportIcon|sport=Football|nation=Osarius}}</nowiki>: {{SportIcon|Football|Osarius}}, linking to "Association Football in Osarius".

<nowiki>{{SportIcon|Athletics|Aquillian|Track & Field Athletics Competitions}}</nowiki> will produce the same output as <nowiki>{{SportIcon|sport=Athletics|nation=Aquillian|override=Track & Field Athletics Competitions}}</nowiki> : {{SportIcon|sport=Athletics|nation=Aquillian|override=Track & Field Athletics Competitions}}

<nowiki>{{SportIcon|Cobrio}}</nowiki> will produce generic link to "Sports in NATION", using the default icon, like so: {{SportIcon|Cobrio}} 
This final case is because the other two values are not mandatory. When no sport is present, the template defaults to "Sports in" and uses the medal icon. With no override, the default link remains unchanged.

Glossary of Cobre creole phrases

2026-02-10T10:32:30Z

Osarius: /* I */

{{compact ToC|side=yes|num=yes|seealso=yes|refs=yes}}
==A==
* '''Abojutolu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Meaning "without supervision" ("abojuto" = supervision; "lu" modifier to denote absence), this is the name given to a line of automatons developed by [[Ipele Prossimo Humanité]] (IPH) to perform menial labour tasks. They are so-named, as they do not require any human supervision, and a workforce of thousands can easily be managed by a single [[#A|amami eziolu]] system. These automatons are rarely given powerful operating systems themselves, and will normally have hardware designed for lower level amami eziolu, more specialised to their specific task; as a result, they are not often suited to perform other tasks. They often include a system which incorporates eluvium in order to maximise their capacity for lifting, carrying, and transporting material; as these are tasks identified by researchers as having the highest human cost (i.e. high rate of injury among human workers).
* '''Adinkra''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Symbols used in Cobre tradition to confer certain attributes upon the wearer/bearer, or to represent certain ideals and concepts. Most commonly seen in clothing patterns, or as symbols painted onto the skin or uniforms of those who enter competitive scenarios. Originally, the adinkra were reserved only for battle and trials, but their use has become more and more widespread over the years.
* '''Agricole''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A portmanteau of "agriculture" and "école" ([[Azertienne language|Azertienne]] for "school"). An institution of higher education (most commonly found in [[Cobrio]] or [[Akach]]) which combines vocational training with scientific research, centred on advancing agricultural methods and processes through a combination of traditional wisdom and modern science and technology.
* '''Ahonelu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Meaning "elevated tongue", it refers to a ritual language used in [[Ipanism]]. It is a sort of pidgin derived from [[Cobre Creole]] and modern Akachese (itself carrying some similarities to [[Azertienne language|Azertienne]]). Sometimes also called ''edenrin'' ("language of the siblings").
* '''Akaba''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – literally meaning "ladder". It is often used to describe any structure that resembles a ladder, or that allows progressive movement (often based on merit). A related slang term, ''"[[#L|lukaba]]"'', refers to a system that does not reward based on merit.
* '''Akamami''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally meaning "canopy of wisdom". The covered canopy within the [[#O|Ogbokatoma]] where a representative or speaker can directly address the [[Council of N'Katoma]]. Protocol dictates that only the person standing under the Akamami can address the Council, or other attendees at the Ogbokatoma.
* '''[[Akkano people|Akkano]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – One of the ethnic groups, or "tribes", that make up the Cobre nation. The name comes from the old Cobre for "first", indicating their presence as the indigenous people of Cobrio (and by extension, [[Osarius]]). They are believed to have originated in what is now the North-East region of Cobrio, and migrated south and west. Notably among Cobre people, the Akkano practice [[wikipedia:matrilineality|matrilineality]], with possessions, names etc being passed down from mother to child—as opposed to the more common patrilineality; inheritance through father to child. Akkano people believe that all are born into a house ("[[#T|Turu]]") which links you to others in the same house (regardless of ethnicity) on a spiritual level. All people are therefore formed by the effect of their mother's blood (their inherited traits, or "[[#O|Ogya]]") upon their "house". The two terms combined form the name of a uniquely Akkano method of personality analysis ("[[#O|Ogyaturu]]").
* '''[[Àkoleoso]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally "Koleosoism", "Koleoso system", or "the quality of being (like) Koleoso". A footballing philosophy centred on breaking free of the restrictive nature of most systems. It is named for its main proponent, [[Marvelous Koleoso]].
* '''[[Amami eziolu]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Meaning "wisdom without truth", and sometimes shortened to "AE". This is the name given to systems developed to emulate human intelligence to a degree. The term was coined by [[Geoffrey Anozie]], lead developer in the artificial intelligence division at [[Ipele Prossimo Humanité]] (IPH), as a means to “remind people what we are doing”. He went on to add that “these systems can never truly emulate the human mind because their perception of reality, of truth, is limited to the parameters we feed them; they are not sentient, no matter how much it feels like they might be.”
* '''Àmuluní''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally "the practice of foolish speaking" (mulu = "foolish, easily tricked", ní = "speech", À = modifier signifying a practice or system). Commonly used to describe a way of speaking that is designed to trick the listener. Originally a slang term used predominantly in "slum" areas of major cities like Dynapolis, Kronkow, and Camaron to describe the language of street crooks, which was designed to be indecipherable to law enforcement. The term gained wider cultural adoption—and a broader meaning—when used in a speech within the [[#A|Akamami]] at the [[#O|Ogbokatoma]] by the [[Tukarist Liberation Front]]'s [[Yobanna Adeyemi]], referring to the rhetoric espoused by the right-populist [[Ṣe Kobu Tayọzọ]] (Make the Nation Excellent Again) movement. Now, the term is used for both the street dialect, and a form of political "[[wikipedia:Doublespeak|doublespeak]]". Adeyemi claims this was a deliberate move, noting that "the only difference is in the clothing they wear. If you speak kiwani and dress in a combination of Cobre and Ugwu clothing, you are a criminal. But if you wear agbada and speak kiwani on platforms, you are a politician."
* '''[[Apergium]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – An element refined from [[Eluvium]], via an energy-intensive process. When a sufficiently large electrical current is passed through a cell of apergium, an "apergitational field" is created, in which the effect of gravity is completely nullified. Apergium is used in some [[Anti-gravity technology|anti-gravity]] machinery and craft manufactured in both Cobrio and Osarius.
* '''[[House of Argento|Argento]]''' ''(ˈɑːr.dʒɛn.toʊ // AA·jen·toh)'' – Formerly a noble house in Osarius, exiled to the [[Aquillian|Isle of Aquillian]] after losing the [[#W|War of the Metals]] to the [[House of Aurumia]]. The House of Argento had subjugated the Cobre nation but were allegedly willing to grant the Cobre peoples some degree of autonomy once the war was won. This claim is doubted among Cobre scholars, and some go as far as to suggest that the Argento "tricked" the Cobre nation, and adopted the Cobre symbol of the [[Panthera veritus|panther]] for their own as part of the ploy. Others suggest that the Cobre leadership was defeated honourably, and agreed to serve. What is certain is that there was some relationship between the Argento and the Cobre nation prior to the War of the Metals.
* '''[[House of Aurumia|Aurumia]]''' ''(aʊ.rᵿ.ˈmiː.jæ // ow·ruh·MEE·ya)'' – The ruling family of Osarius. Came into power hundreds of years ago, and consolidated it after defeating their main rivals, the House of Argento in the War of the Metals in the mid-late 21st century. There is a split opinion among the Cobre peoples regarding the Aurumia; the larger portion still believes the Aurumia are "the enemy" following the outcome of the War of the Metals. Others believe the Aurumia liberated the Cobre nation from the Argento, though this claim is weakened by the oppressive conditions many Cobre peoples lived under since the exile of the Argento, and other scholars' claims that the Cobre nation was prosperous under the Argento.
==B==
* '''[[Babbanyawo Kadangare]]''' ''(bæb.æn.ˈjɑː.woʊ kæ.dæn.ˈgɑː.reɪ // bab·ann·YAH·wo ka·dan·GAH·ray)'' – The title of babbanyawo kadangare translates to something like "the great flying lizard", but is understood to mean "dragon". It is a title awarded to the strongest, fiercest warrior across all the tribes that make up the Cobre nation. A tournament is typically held, adhering to ancient combat rules ([[#K|kensagha]]) to decide who will hold the position. The last champion was [[Tukari Kaita]], whose feats were so esteemed, the position has remained unfilled since his death in the mid-23rd century.
* '''Babu-fifike''' ''(bæb.uː fɪf.ˈiː.keɪ // bab·oo fif·EE·kay)'' – An approximation of "wingless". Used by "rebels" and Cobre republicans to mock [[Tukari Kaita]]'s position of [[#B|Babbanyawo Kadangare]] and undermine his authority. It is meant to imply that without the flying aspect of his title, Kaita is simply a "great lizard". An unattributed quote states "What is a dragon without wings? Its power is in its ability to fly above our heads. Without flight, it only hoards treasures and breathes hot air."
* '''Banpo''' ''(ˈbæn.poʊ // BAN poh)'' – The site of the decisive battle between the [[#A|Argento]] and the [[#A|Aurumia]] during the War of the Metals. It is said to have once housed actual dragons in the [[Dragonpits of Banpo|Dragonpits]], which the Argento used to subjugate the Cobre nation and have them fight on their side against the Aurumia.
* '''[[Barrington Douglas]]''' ''(bær.ɪŋ.tən ˈdʌɡ.ləs // bar·ing·tun dug·lass)'' – A former colonel of the now-defunct Osarian military's [[#O|Ohafia]] unit, and cousin to former Osarian [[First Minister (Osarius)|First Minister]], [[George Douglas]]. He rallied several smaller militia groups within [[Dynapolis, Osarius|Dynapolis]] and is credited with starting the modern Cobre independence movement. He was installed as "General" and de facto leader of the "Free Lands of Cobrio" before starting a rebellion against Osarius in the early 23rd century. He went missing and was presumed dead after his plan to militarise Dynapolis and secede from Osarius was halted by [[Jermain Marko]] and [[Noah Drake]].
* '''[[Bay of Goats]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The name most Cobre people use for the area of water to the West of Cobrio and North of [[Mriin]]. It was given the name by the Akkano people who noted the prevalence of goats in the land nearby. Goat meat is a common ingredient in Cobre cuisine to the present day.
* '''[[Biafrai people|Biafrai]]''' ''(ˈbiː.æf.raɪ // BEE·aff·rye)'' – One of the ethnic groups, or "tribes" which make up the Cobre nation. Named for the (now-eroded) bay, extending from the southeastern tip of Cobrio, upon which the people first settled. In old Cobre, "biyafi ra yeyo", or "the bay of land which moves" was shortened to "biyafira", eventually "biafra", and the people adopted the suffix "-i", denoting "from". This ultimately distilled to "Biafrai".
* '''Boko''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A common insult meaning someone who is slow-witted, or otherwise lacking "street smarts". Like many slang insults, it can be intensified by doubling; i.e. "boko-boko" is a more severe kind of "boko".
* '''Boolundu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Meaning "life ball", it is the name given to the fruit of a large tree found in wet areas and forests in Cobrio, or near streams. The tree produces large, ball-shaped fruit, with a spongy texture when ripe, and lots of seeds. A mature tree in the right conditions can produce fruits year-round, with a total yield of more than thirty per year. Each fruit typically weighs between 7-9 kg when fully mature, and produces approximately half that weight in pulp, and around a twentieth of the weight in seeds after processing. The fruit can be eaten raw, but is usually boiled or roasted; or the pulp is used to make [[#M|mmirilan]]. The seeds—which have high nutritional value and are rich in vitamins—can also be dried and eaten, though they are usually ground into a flour, or pressed to produce oil. (OOC: It's [[wikipedia:Treculia africana|African breadfruit]])
==C==
* '''Camaron''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The capital city of Cobrio. A former Osarian military outpost in the southwest of Cobrio, it was the base of operations for [[Barrington Douglas]]' separatist movement before the move north and into Dynapolis. The concentration of military personnel and equipment made it the perfect staging ground for the secession movement that followed, and [[Tukari Kaita]] named it as capital city once independence was confirmed.
* '''Chemin''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – [[Azertienne language|Azertienne]] for "path" or "way". In [[Ipanism|Ipanist]] tradition, every person has their own ''chemin'', which always leads to death—the final destination of all life. It is not pre-determined, but rather you will make choices on your journey that can vary the path. Some stops on the path may be pre-determined, but how and when you reach them is entirely up to you.
* '''[[Cobrio]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – An "[[wikipedia:Anglicisation|Osarianised]]" spelling of "kobu rigo" ("the land of the people of the flood"). The traditional name for the lands upon which Cobrio exists. So-called because of the manner in which the populations spread rapidly across the area. Scholars believe that "go" ("people") became "yo" through a misreading of a written passage.
* '''[[Cook-off]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A cooking competition where the contestants each prepare dishes for judging either by a select group of judges or by the general public. Originally, cook-offs were used as a duel of champions between opposing armies—said to have been conceived by the legendary general [[#L|Lushiku]]—in order to limit loss of life. Over the years, the format has emerged as a form of entertainment, with various gimmicks used, mostly designed for television. See [[nspost:39571344|here]] for more detail.
* '''Creyente''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Actually an [[Azertienne language|Azertienne]] word meaning "believer", but commonly used for those who follow the [[Ipanism|Ipanist]] tradition. Synonymous with ''"disciple"'' ("follower").
* '''Cupressa''' ''(ˈkuː.prɛs.ɑː // COO·press·aa)'' – Site of a historic battle during the [[#W|War of the Metals]]. Located in the north-eastern part of [[Hearthlands, Osarius]], near the border with the [[Mount Crown region, Osarius|Mount Crown region]].
==D==
* '''Dandamali Tiẹbẹ''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally "platform of petition". Refers to the elevated platform in the [[#O|Ogbokatoma]] (House of the Elders), infront of the [[Council of N'Katoma]] and [[#S|Sarki]], under the [[#A|Akamami]] (Canopy of Wisdom). The place a designated speaker stands when addressing the congregation at an [[#N|Nzukọ Watilai]] (Meeting of Representatives).
* '''[[Djalia]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Also known as "the ancestral plane", the Djalia is technically the part of the astral plane intersecting with both [[#T|Tiquoia]] and the material plane. While many will speak of it as the realm in which the ancestors dwell, this is not strictly true. The ancestors, like all dead, exist in Tiquoia, but traditional Cobre belief states that a representation of them exists in the Djalia, formed of the collective memory of the Cobre nation. When Cobrans speak of the ancestors visiting from the Djalia, to lend strength or wisdom, what they are really saying is "we must remember".
* '''[[Djeli]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A djeli is a storyteller, a keeper of history. They travel from settlement to settlement within Cobrio, performing with simple instruments to tell tales of the ancestors. Of particular note is that a djeli's knowledge is passed on through oral tradition only, with none of it written. This is to prevent [[#I|Ikpoa]] from corrupting the record. Some believe their instruments and words have a magical quality, allowing people who hear the djeli speak a tale to also "see" or even "feel" it (see [[#O|okun]]). History is a major part of Cobre culture, and as a result, the djeli—whose work is thought to keep the Djalia "alive"—are highly respected members of Cobre society.
* '''[[Doulea]]''' ''(ˈduː.leɪ // DOO·lay)'' – Site of a historic battle during the War of the Metals. Located in the central part of the [[Hearthlands (Osarian region)|Hearthlands]] region, west of [[Masaka, Osarius|Masaka]].
==E==
* '''Ebitu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A truncation of "ebi turari", meaning "family spice". The berries of the plant are said to taste like a combination of multiple staple spices in Cobre cuisine; hence the name. The berries are typically sun-dried before use, and may be ground before adding to sauces, stews etc. Whole dried berries are preferred for steeping, however. (OOC: It's [[wikipedia:allspice|allspice]], lol)
* '''Edenrin''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – See [[#A|Ahonelu]].
* '''Efiagya''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A particularly insulting term for a child of a man of low standing. Literally meaning "dirt father's blood", it draws on the Akkano belief that [[#M|Mamula]]—goddess of the waters—is the originator of all humans' blood (also referred to as Mamula's gift). To call someone "efiagya" is to imply that one's father has somehow tainted Mamula's gift. A related term, "ogyafi" (literally "mother's blood dirt"), is the most taboo swear word in Cobrio due to the blasphemous implication that Mamula's gift itself is dirty.
* '''[[Eluburu]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A popular form of dance-oriented music originating in Akach. The name comes from "elu" (lift, or elevate) and "aburu" (wretched). Lyrics typically recount the various social realities of Akachese people—particularly the youth—and are often written in a mixture of [[Cobre creole]] and [[Azertienne language|Azertienne]], incorporating a lot of street slang. Musically, Eluburu can be distinguished by its modern interpretations of traditional melodies and the characteristic "talking drums"—similar to the drums used by many djeli—which are used to create distinct seven stroke patterns known as the "bird" or "''ijesanma''" pattern—literally "walk" + "cloud"—usually in either a triple-pulse or duple-pulse structure. (OOC: it's basically Akachese [[wikipedia:Zouglou|zouglou]], and ijesanma is essentially [[wikipedia:Bemb%C3%A9_(rhythm)|bembé]])
* '''[[Eluvium]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A metallic element present in high quantities in Cobrio, since antiquity. It is thought to be extra-terrestrial in nature, due to its scarcity in nearby nations, and—to the knowledge of the Cobre people—complete absence elsewhere. The metal possesses several strange properties—many of which appear to require one to tap into [[#M|manu]]—and is used in many Cobre inventions as a result. Perhaps most notable is its ability to generate mass-altering fields when exposed to an electrical current. The name comes from the Cobre word "elu" meaning "above", as both a reference to the metal's ability to make things easier to lift, and for its superior qualities in manufacturing.
* '''Emi''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A term loosely meaning "essence", or "soul". In [[Ipanism|Ipanist]] tradition, one's ''emi'' is contained in your navel. Traditional belief is that the ''emi'' is formed immediately after the confluence of your parents' essences at conception, so it also takes a small part of the ''emi'' of each of your parents.
* '''Epajáni''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – From ''epa'' ("nut") + ''jáni'' ("bite"). A traditional snack of roasted nuts and sugar. The heat melts the sugar into caramel, and the mixture is generally shaped into bite-sized balls before the caramel cools and sets. Frequently sold by street vendors. Far more common in Akach than Cobrio, but can be found more easily in the north-western parts of the latter.
* '''Eririnwa''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A large bow made of hardwood stained with the blood of a tiger. Associated most closely with the [[#N|Nguleri]] and [[#O|Ohafia people]]. The bows are said to be difficult to draw, and a Nguleri boy cannot be considered a man until he does so. Many women also use the Eririnwa proficiently, though it is not an expectation of them.
==F==
* '''Funpo''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – literally meaning "squeeze". The term is often used in various contexts to refer to making things uncomfortable in some way.
==G==
==H==
* '''Habilitants''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – [[Azertienne language|Azertienne]] for "enablers". The term applies collectively to all deities—variously referred to as "éléments" ("elements"), "naturels" ("naturals"), or "donneurs" ("givers")—honoured by ''[[#C|creyentes]]'', or followers of the [[Ipanism|Ipanist]] tradition.
==I==
* '''Ibiori''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally "head place", or "mind place". A technique used by [[#D|djeli]] to augment memory capacity, enabling them to remember the vast amounts of information the profession requires. Similar to the [[wikipedia:Method_of_loci|Method of loci]] or "Mind Palaces". Typically this is practiced from a very young age for maximum effect. Later developments would enable the use of [[#M|manu]]-charged pieces of [[#E|Eluvium]] to store memory, making it possible to transfer a meticulously built ibiori into a physical object.
* '''Ifuoké''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The "Rider of the Storm" in Cobre folklore. According to the folklore passed down by [[#D|djeli]] in the Ekezie lineage, they are said to be the messenger of the [[Irunashe]], travelling on the winds of a thunderstorm to deliver messages to deities and humans alike. The Rider of the Storm has no gender, though is often referred to as male.
* '''Ija tesiwaju''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A phrase famously used by [[Tukari Kaita]] when announcing [[Cobre Emancipation]], highlighting his belief that "the work [was] not yet done". It is commonly used by Tukarists, meaning "the fight continues" or "the struggle continues", in reference to the constant struggle to free the people from the oppressive yoke of the multiverse's capitalist-imperialist ruling class.
* '''Ijokodaraja''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally "Honour Seat". The elevated seat separate from those of the [[Council of N'Katoma]] under the [[#A|Akamami]], specifically reserved for the [[#S|Sarki]].
* '''Ikemi Sarki''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally translating to "force of the [[#S|Sarki]]", the Ikemi (as they are most commonly referred to) are a sub-unit of the [[#Z|zabamince wadanda]] – usually comprised of new recruits undergoing final assessments, and veterans removed from high-pressure roles due to fading combat effectiveness. Their role is to act as general peacekeepers throughout Cobrio on behalf of the Sarki, and as such, are not beholden to any local authorities. Most often, though, the Ikemi are deployed as a deterrent to the general public, in areas where it is considered more likely that civil unrest may occur. Their training largely consists of de-escalation practices, and they are far less heavily armed for combat than the [[#Z|zabamince wadanda]]; instead carrying technology for crowd control, or incapacitation.
* '''Ikpoa''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The name given to the deity who personifies hatred among mankind. He is associated with blood red, and in traditional Cobre beliefs, seeks to destroy or corrupt progress made by mankind. It is important to note, however, that Ikpoa cannot corrupt a person. For this reason, [[#D|djeli]] persist with the oral tradition, as the words you hear cannot be tainted by Ikpoa's hatred of man. A written word, however, "cannot be trusted unless carved into the earth, which possesses the will of [[#O|Olugun]]". Some have taken this phrase to mean that words carved into stone or metal are incorruptible. Traditional Cobre belief states that after Olugun created man, and favoured them, Ikpoa was driven mad with jealousy. His jealousy eventually became hatred, and he has sought to destroy mankind ever since but realises that only man can destroy man; and so he sabotages, sowing discord wherever possible.
* '''Ilutiorun''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally meaning "drum of heaven", it is most commonly used as a poetic term to refer to thunder. In Cobre folklore, it is the sound made by a great drum being beaten, as commanded by [[#O|Olugun]] whenever he fought—and inevitably defeated—one of [[#I|Ikpoa]]'s creations, sent to harm mankind. The term can also be applied to other, natural sounds of similar majesty heard at a distance, such as earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions.
* '''Imezi nzuzu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literal translation is difficult, but the general idea is "uneducated, uncultured people". Sometimes translated as "stupid bush people" or "idiot farmers" (though the latter would not be used in Cobrio or Akach, where farmers are valued members of society).
* '''Inapaa''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – literally "turn off the light". Can be used in various contexts which imply an inability to see, or a lack of consciousness. This can vary in degree from misdirection (as, for example, in the common use referring to a "dummy" or "feint" within association football) to literally rendering someone unconscious (the term is sometimes used in place of "knockout" in combat sports commentary).
* '''Ipa''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally meaning "force", the term refers to a supernatural force permeating all facets of the universe. Legend has it that the term was coined by a battalion of [[#O|Ohafia]] warriors—evidence strongly suggests that various Cobre ethnicities intermixed in the west, making modern Akachese people descendants of the Cobre nation as a whole–defending the western coast of [[Rabastor]] just south of the [[Byrsic Delta]] (near modern-day [[Emekula]]). and allegedly began chanting "mare ipa abofun kobu nipawa" ("the almighty force protects the people through us"). This would repeat after victories by other battalions, of all descents among the [[Western Deltas|Akach]] people, and gradually become "mare ipa", then "maripa", and eventually just "ipa".
* '''Ipalorun''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A term for the person who initiates a ''[[#C|creyente]]'' in the [[Ipanism|Ipanist]] tradition. It loosely translates to something like "godparent", though sometimes a creyente may use "marraine" or "parrain"—"godmother" or "godfather" respectively—depending on gender identity. Ipalorun are often met with ritual prostration known as [[#O|obiteriba]] ("obey the parent") upon entry to the ''chambre''.
* '''[[Ipanism]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Also known as "La Loi de l'Ipa", "Sainteté", or "The Law of the Great Sibling". It is the national religion of [[Akach]], centred on the deity [[#I|Ipawolu]], with various unique terms, rituals and beliefs associated with it.
* '''[[Ipawolu]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Loosely translated as "Master of (the) Force"; "ipa" meaning "force", and "olu" a combination of the prefixes "O" (meaning "great") and "lu-" (meaning "absence" or "without"). Scholars believe that "olu" in this context refers to "the Great Void", an unknowable location in time-space, beyond mortal comprehension. In such a place, one would be everywhere and nowhere all at once, and functionally omnipotent, as no limits can exist in such a place. Ipawolu is often closely identified with the Cobre deities [[Irunashe#Olugun|Olugun]] and [[Irunashe#Oluwu|Oluwu]], though many scholars believe Ipawolu refers to a different entity, in a different belief system altogether. Ipanist belief holds that all ''ipa'' originates with, and can only be tapped into, through Ipawolu. Notably, Ipawolu is typically not assigned a gender, instead referred to only by name, or in the abstract (e.g. "the one none can see", or "the great sibling").
* '''Ipa'elu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally meaning "force elevate" ("Ipa" = force; "elu" = elevate), but commonly taken to mean "Rise Up". Often used as a rallying cry of encouragement. More common in Akach, where the phrase is used as the name of the [[Ipa'elu System (Akach)|second tier football league]], though not uncommon in Cobrio.
* '''Ipetelai''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Meaning "eternal stew", it was first created by the chef [[#O|Okwelle]] when travelling in the wilderness with the armies of [[#Lushiku|Lushiku]]. In the absence of a consistent source of meat or fish, Okwelle found a way to stretch the little he had available (mostly [[wikipedia:Game (hunting)|game]]) by retaining part of whatever he cooked on any given day and using it as the base for the following day. In doing so, the army did not notice when they were not receiving meat every day, due to the remnants of flavour. The technique became common among hunters, armies, merchants, and other travelling groups, as it allows one to leave the stew in the pot indefinitely, as long as it is reheated every few days and more [[#O|omilailai]] is added each time.
* '''[[Irunashe]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A term referring to the pantheon of spirits and deities worshipped and exalted throughout the Cobre nation. The number of Irunashe is disputed, as are their names. The only universally agreed points are that [[#O|Olugun]]—ruler of the sky, and father of knowledge and wisdom—is the Father of all Irunashe, and his wife, [[#M|Mamula]], rules over all waters and is the universal mother goddess.
* '''Irinaro''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Meaning "spear of steel". The name given to the armoured train upon which [[Tukari Kaita]] toured Osarius during his campaign for Cobre Independence.
* '''Ishapa''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A perennial bush with deep red sepals, which are collected and dried for use in traditional Cobre cooking and medicine. They have a tart, dry flavour when steeped in water. (OOC: It's [[wikipedia:Roselle (plant)|Roselle]]; or Sorrel, if you're Jamaican)
* '''Iyin''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Imperative form of Atiyin ("to praise"), often used in a similar fashion to "give thanks to". For example, the phrase "Mamiyin Okaita" compounds "[[#M|mame]]" (strengthen) with "iyin" (praise) as a sort of prayer for "Okaita" ("O" meaning great + Kaita, referring to [[Tukari Kaita]]), in thanks for his accomplishments in life, but also hope that [[Djalia|his spirit may live on]] and gain strength.

==J==
* '''[[Jermain Marko]]''' ''(dʒɜːr.meɪn mɑːr.koʊ // jer·main MAA·k'oh)'' – A former [[Kryosis|Kryosi]] operative turned Osarian intelligence agent. Played a part in thwarting two major plans by militants under [[Barrington Douglas]] which would have destabilised Osarius in the late 22nd century and early 23rd century. Rumour has it that he was also involved in the series of events that led to the rise of [[Tukari Kaita]] and the eventual secession of Cobrio from the Osarian Kingdom.
==K==
* '''[[Kalanigo people|Kalanigo]]''' ''(kæ.læ.ˈniː.goʊ // ka·la·NEE·go)'' – One of the ethnic groups, or "tribes" which make up the Cobre nation. Roughly translates to "people who devour", in reference to the Kalanigo people's propensity to rapidly expand their territory.
* '''Kekezi''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The root of the verb "to read". Notably an identical verb form in every known Cobre language. A common Cobre saying is "kekeno tani?" roughly translating to "have you read nothing today?", which, depending on context, could be implying foolishness or laziness on the part of the recipient, or even simply remarking on their undertaking frivolous behaviour when something more productive could be done. Comparable to the [[wikipedia:Jamaican Patois|Jamaican Patois]] "yuh tek up book fram mawnin?"
* '''Kensagha''' ''(kɛn.ˈsɑː.xæ // ken·SAA·ghah)'' – Loosely translated, it means "holy battle", and refers to a set of ancient combat rules used in various exhibitions of martial skill within the Cobre nation. These contests hold great significance to their local communities and one found to break these rules would almost certainly face exile at the very least. The rules themselves vary a little from area to area, and among the different ethnic groups. When these contests take place between people of different ethnic groups, a compromised set of rules is agreed beforehand, known as "kensagha unu gon" ("united pact of holy battle") to avoid any arguments after the result is determined. Kensagha was codified across all ethnic groups by a Council of Elders ([[#N|N'Katoma]]) under the reign of [[Tukari Kaita]], to unify the Cobre nation as one. Some people and some places still prefer the old rules, however.
* '''Kiwani''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Lies, untruths. Though the word translated literally refers to deception, it can sometimes be used to refer to "empty words", or speech considered otherwise meaningless. A Cobre person responding to something you say with "kiwani" may be responding in a similar manner to the idiomatic phrases "words are wind" or "talk is cheap" in English.
* '''Kobu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A shortened form of "Cobrio", effectively meaning "the nation" or "the land". See also: [[#C|Cobrio]].
* '''[[Kobufuniti]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Translates to "feed the nation". The name given to a joint agricultural efficiency project between [[Odikolo Agricultural College]], [[Harambee Valley Agricole]], and the [[Umoja Universities Research Group]]. The project's aim was to find a sustainable method of mass producing food in a way that would allow the reduction of owo awonkobu, by ensuring that state-operated food banks would be able to adequately provide for all citizens instead. The project had a breakthrough development when attempting to cross-breed the [[#B|boolundu]] and [[#O|ounjegbo]] plants to produce a large food crop that could be grown in poor soil. The attempt failed, but in the process, the project uncovered a method of altering the speed at which plant matter decayed. By extension, this allowed them to develop crops specifically designed to compost faster, thus allowing farmers to improve the quality of poor soil more easily.
* '''[[Koromanti people|Koromanti]]''' ''(kɒr.ˈɒ.mæn.ˈtiː // kor·OH·man·TEE)'' – One of the ethnic groups, or "tribes" which make up the Cobre nation. The name derives from a term in an older Cobre language form, meaning "people with the power of the ocean". It takes the "ko" form for "people" that was present in some descendant Cobre languages before unification under the banner of kobu rigo (See: [[#C|Cobrio]]).
* '''Kujichagulia Agreement''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The agreement which ratified the independence of the Cobre people, and the official formation of the Free State of Cobrio.
* '''Kwaaji''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – literally a "canvas". Also used figuratively for any platform or stage for creating art, such as within association football, particularly when describing the principles of [[#A|Ákoleoso]].
* '''Kwane''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A creature from Cobre/[[Kholana people|Kholana]] folklore best described as a "lightning bird". It is said to be able to summon storms and can drain the [[#M|manu]] (life force) of a person. Related is the concept of "thunder" (more commonly pronounced "tunda") to represent anything that may bring great surprise to another, as a great shock is thought to temporarily cause a loss of life in metaphorical terms (much like the English colloquialism "you [nearly] gave me a heart attack"). So, then, the Cobre phrases "you bring kwane" or "you bring tunda" would be roughly analogous to "you have shocked/surprised me". Similarly, "you kill my tunda" would be similar to "you have ruined the surprise".
==L==
* '''Lukaba''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – a slang term for a system that does not reward merit. Derived from "[[#A|akaba]]" (meaning "ladder") and the prefix "lu-" (meaning "without").
* '''Lushiku''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A [[#K|Koromanti]] general in antiquity, credited for the creation of the "Cobre [[#C|cook-off]]"—a culinary battle. Lushiku is renowned for his cunning, and preference to avoid combat where possible—something that made him popular among the smallfolk in particular.
==M==
* '''Mam'manu''' ''(mæm.ˈmæ.noʊ // mam·MAH·noo)'' – Roughly translates to "strengthen life force". A toast used to wish good health upon someone. Often used when drinking, much in the same way "Cheers!" is used in English. The phrase carries a deeper meaning, however, and is mostly used only in reference to the holder of a prestigious title such as [[#B|Babbanyawo Kadangare]]. If used for someone not holding a prestigious title, the implication is that one believes they should be. See also: [[#Manu'nu|Manu'nu]], a similar phrase.
* '''Mam'unu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Roughly translates to "strengthen together" or "strength in numbers". The name was adopted by a grassroots political movement that seeks to place power directly in the hands of the people. The movement's ideals are roughly analogous to those of [[wikipedia:Marxism|Marxist-communist]] groups in [[RLStates]]. In Cobre, such groups are labelled "[[#T|Tukarist]]", after [[Tukari Kaita]], who first laid out the principles in his work "[[The Belly of the Beast (Tukari Kaita book)|The Belly of the Beast]]".
* '''Mamezi''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The root of the verb "to strengthen". Notably, this verb is shared across every known language that makes up the Cobre language family. The traditional greeting used when first addressing the [[#B|babbanyawo kadangare]] is "unukego mameze", meaning "together we strengthen you". A similar phrase is used when addressing an [[#N|Elder]]; "unukego mamekobu", meaning "together we strengthen the nation".
* '''Mamula''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The goddess of the waters, wife of [[#O|Olugun]], and mother of all creation. Mamula is said to possess "gentle persistence" like the river that erodes the earth, or the tide that erodes the cliffside. As water is necessary for life, Mamula is revered in Cobre tradition as it would not have been possible for Olugun to create man without her assistance. The Akkano people, in particular, revere Mamula as the originator of all [[#O|Ogya]].
* '''Manu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The word for one's life force, power, or energy. It is linked to the soul or spirit, and often believed to be "carried" in the blood -- which is why blood is important in traditional Cobre belief systems. Manu serves as the connection between the spiritual and the corporeal, and it is through manu that all interactions, ultimately, are possible. Manu is similar to the Polynesian concept of "[[wikipedia:Mana (Oceanian cultures)|mana]]", though not quite the same, as places are not considered to possess manu, since they do not "live", though they interact with the manu of living things. Manu also shares some characteristics with the Chinese concept of "[[wikipedia:qi|qi]]", though they are distinct ideas. Similarly, some commonalities can be observed with the [[Xiaolin]] ideas of [[Breath (Xiaolin)|Breath]], and [[Pulse (Xiaolin)|Pulse]], which likely formed the basis of the concept in ancient times, when the Cobre people were believed to have had direct contact with the island of Xiaolin (which was then-located off the south-west coast of Cobrio). Notably, though, manu is a measurable phenomenon, via its interactions with the element [[#E|Eluvium]]. Cobre researchers are yet to discover why manu is more pronounced—according to reactions with eluvium—in Cobre people than others.
* '''Manu'nu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Roughly translates to "life force unified". Similar to mam'manu, it is often used as a toast, like the English "Cheers!" and represents the underlying Cobre principle of unity (umoja). Manu'nu is often used in more casual settings, as opposed to [[#M|mam'manu]]—which is more spiritual in nature and thus used more sparingly.
* '''Menai''' ''(mɛn.ˈaɪ // men·EYE)'' – Site of a historic battle during the [[War of the Metals]]. Located in the southern part of the [[Hearthlands, Osarius|Hearthlands]] region, south of [[Junipa, Osarius|Junipa]], now falls under the co-operative region of [[Umoja (co-operative region)|Umoja]].
* '''Mlambo''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The Cobre word for river. It is often used to refer to any sacred water, however. It is believed in Cobre tradition that all rivers (and flowing waters) possess the spirit of [[#M|Mamula]], the goddess of water, and wife of [[#O|Olugun]].
* '''Mmirilan''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Short for "mmiri ara ehi lanari" (survival milk) is a traditional Cobre drink made from the seeds and pulp of the [[#B|Boolundu]] ("life ball"; breadfruit) plant. It naturally has a low alcohol content due to natural fermentation, but can be processed further to increase potency. A particularly potent version of the drink, known as "nuo'kwe sere n'elu" (the drink that lets you float above) is prepared by [[#D|djeli]], for ritual purposes. A similar drink – flavoured with "[[#I|ishapa]]" (hibiscus/roselle) and "[[#E|ebitu]]" (a truncation of "ebi turari", or "family spice"; allspice)—known as "[[#M|mimu sopo]]" (connecting drink) is used by practitioners of [[#I|Ipanism]] during their rituals.
* '''[[Mpindami]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A [[#B|Biafrai]] general in antiquity, known for his harsh training methods and brutal efficiency in his youth. Nicknamed "ojiwasoke" ("the dark spike"), he was responsible for several devastating victories in battle which effectively wiped out certain peoples within the Cobre nation. Despite this, as he aged, Mpindami mellowed significantly, and grew to be an honourable man who was "like a father" to his men, and merciful toward his enemies. Famously, he was on the losing side in the first [[#C|Cobre cook-off]], when [[#O|Okwelle]], serving under [[#L|Lushiku]], served him a steamed, peppered perch.
* '''Mulu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Similar to boko, but more specifically refers to someone who is easily fooled. Calling someone "mulu" would be to imply they are easily taken in by "kiwani". Can also be doubled to intensify; i.e. "mulu-mulu" is someone particularly easy to fool, as opposed to a regular "mulu"
==N==
* '''N'Katoma''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally means "elder", though this is not necessarily relating to age. An elder, in Cobre culture, is simply anybody who holds a position of prestige or authority. This applies to all facets of life, and so, it is not unheard of for a child to be considered the n'katoma when speaking with a grandparent (for example) about modern technology. One cannot be considered to be n'katoma without the express acknowledgement of others, though—in particular, those who you hold a position of prestige or authority over—and so the term carries great significance. A [[Council of N'Katoma]]—elected by the various peoples of Cobrio—act as the nation's decision-makers and determine if and when it is necessary to appoint a [[#B|babbanyawo kadangare]]. They also act as a power-check on the [[#S|Sarki]], with the power to overrule the Sarki's decisions. If this is done three times, the Sarki is removed from the position as it is seen as a sign of [[Lufati (Cobre politics)|lufati]] (lit. "absence (of) trust/faith"; roughly equivalent to "a vote of no confidence").
* '''N'kisi''' ''(nə.ˈkiː.sɪ // na·KEE·si)'' – Sometimes called N'kishi (nə.ˈkiː.ʃɪ // na·KEE·shi). Traditional Cobre medicine. Typically involves the use of totems to invoke the power of ancestral spirits. In certain circles, this is the highest form of care one can give/receive. In others, it is considered to have no legitimate value besides a placebo effect at best. In such circles, N'kisi is often disregarded as superstitious nonsense, or seen as a scam.
* '''N'uju Aguba''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A large, curved blade carried only by full-fledged [[#O|Ohafia]] warriors. Its size warrants specialised training and great strength to wield, making it a sign of a warrior's proficiency. Largely ceremonial in modern times, they are carried primarily as status symbols; though some of the [[#Z|zabamince wadanda]] still carry one as a preferred weapon in their duties. The n'uju aguba is a central part of the traditional Ohafia fighting style "[[agu chui]]" ("angry tiger") along with the [[#E|eririnwa]].
* '''Ngugu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – An informal term for addressing an elder, which loosely translates to "old one". It is often used in a mildly disrespectful manner similar to the English "gramps", though it is not inherently disrespectful.
* '''[[Nguleri people|Nguleri]]''' ''(ˈguː.lɛ.riː // GOO·leh·ree)'' – One of the ethnic groups, or "tribes" which make up the Cobre nation. Derived from the old-Cobre "go leri", meaning "people who glide (on the water)", as the Nguleri were the first to travel inland over rivers.
* '''Nguso''' ''(ˈguː.soʊ // GOO·soh)'' – A practitioner of [[#N|N'kisi]], often disparagingly referred to as a "witch doctor". In truth, closer to the concept of a shaman. An honoured title in some places, but often ridiculed in large cities by those without superstitious beliefs. There are rituals one must go through to be recognised as a proper Nguso, though there is no official system by which this is certified.
* '''Njikoledo''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – literally "golden linking". It refers to a [[wikipedia:Kintsugi|traditional method of repairing broken objects]], using the [[wikipedia:Urushiol|sap of certain trees]], mixed with powdered precious metals (usually gold). The result is that the flaw is now highlighted in a beautiful way, in line with the philosophy that breakage and repair is part of the history of an object (or person), rather than something to disguise.
* '''Nzukọ Watilai''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally "Meeting of Representatives". Refers to any official gathering of the [[Council of N'Katoma]] with the representatives of communities or organisations, at the [[#O|Ogbokatoma]].
==O==
* '''Obiteriba''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally "Obey the parent". Refers to the ritual prostration performed by a ''[[#C|creyente]]'', to their [[#I|Ipalorun]] upon entry into the ''chambre''. Resembles the Japanese ''[[wikipedia:Dogeza|dogeza]]'', though has a different cultural function.
* '''Ogbokatoma''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally "House of the Elder". A semi-circular [[wikipedia:Roman_theatre_(structure)|theatre]] specifically used for meetings of the [[Council of N'Katoma]]. The layout centres the Council—who sit under the [[#A|Akamami]], the sloped "Canopy of Wisdom"—in such a way that every other seat can view them directly. An elevated seat ([[#I|Ijokodaraja]]) behind the Council is reserved for the Sarki, and all of the Council's seats are backless, allowing them to turn and face the [[#S|Sarki]] easily. A platform ([[#D|Dandamali Tiẹbẹ]]) exists under the Akamami, in front of the Council, for a speaker to use when addressing either the Council (and Sarki), or the gathered representatives. Procedure dictates that only the Council, Sarki, or the person on the ''Dandamali Tiẹbẹ'' is permitted to address the congregation.
* '''Ogya''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The [[#A|Akkano]] term for "blood", specifically referring to a mother's blood (as opposed to Agya; father's blood -- usually only used in the context of insults about one's parents, such as "efiagya"). The term ogya is mostly used in reference to inherited traits from one's mother, which are important in Akkano culture due to its matrilineality.
* '''[[Ogyaturu]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – An Akkano method of personality analysis, formed from the terms [[#O|Ogya]] and [[#T|Turu]].
* '''[[Ohafia people|Ohafia]]''' ''(ˈoʊ.hæf.jæ // OH·haff·ya)'' – One of the ethnic groups, or "tribes" which make up the Cobre nation. Roughly translates to "people who fight", ultimately deriving from the old-Cobre "kohafiya" ("ko" - "people"; "fiya" - "warrior"). Ohafia people are well known for being a "martial race", and their warriors' mastery of the [[#N|n'uju aguba]]. The Ohafia once made up an elite military unit in the Osarian military, stationed in [[#C|Camaron]] and [[Inzon]], in what was then the Dynapolis region. Notable Ohafia people include boxing legends [[Olufemi Koné]] and [[Akachi Koné]].
* '''Okumiri''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Loosely translating to "fire water", a distilled alcoholic beverage made from the starchy, root tubers of the [[#O|Ounjegbo]] ("nourishing root") plant. To make it, the roots of the plant are peeled, and then steeped in water for three days. The steeping water is discarded, as it is toxic to humans, and the roots can then be grated and pressed to produce "[[#O|ounjomi]]" (ounjegbo water). Fermenting ounjomi will produce okumiri. Alternatively, the ounjomi can be boiled until it thickens into a dark syrup known as "[[#O|omilailai]]" (forever water), or "[[#O|oyinlai]]" (forever honey).
* '''Okwelle''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A master chef in antiquity, serving under [[#L|Lushiku]]. Specialising in seafood, renowned in Cobrio for never having lost a [[#C|cook-off]], and pioneering several culinary techniques and herb/spice combinations that persist in Cobre cuisine to the present day.
* '''Oluburu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A lesser deity in traditional Cobre religion, and the [[Ipanism|Ipanist]] tradition, governing fortune and luck. His name translates to "great one without misfortune", and he is often invoked before, during, and after games of chance.
* '''Olugun''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The Father of the [[#I|Irunashe]]. Roughly equivalent to [[wikipedia:Odin|Odin]] in the [[wikipedia:Norse pantheon|Norse pantheon]]. Mostly associated with the domains of knowledge, wisdom and the sky. The earth itself is said to have been created from his unwavering will, only tempered by the gentle persistence of his wife, [[#M|Mamula]]. The closer the earth is to the sky – Olugun's realm – the stronger it is, and this is why mountains are immovable.
* '''Omilailai''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Translates to "forever water"; also known as "oyinlai" (forever honey). A dark syrup, made from [[#O|ounjomi]], which can be used as a base for stew, or applied to wounds as an antiseptic. Traditionally, omilailai is flavoured with spices like [[#E|ebitu]] and used as a base for many Cobre stews—most notably, [[#I|ipetelai]] (eternal stew)
* '''Ori buruku''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The literal translation is "mind broken", but can be used in various situations to imply someone's way of thinking is undesirable. For example, someone who thinks farmers are inherently stupid may be told "ori buruku" by a Cobre person, since farmer is a highly respected profession in Cobre culture, since "without dey who grow food, none dey can eat".
* '''Ounjegbo''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Meaning "nourishing root", it is a perennial, woody shrub with a starchy root tuber that serves as a staple food in some areas of Cobrio due to its hardiness. As Ounjegbo is drought-tolerant, and can grow in poor quality soil, it is often grown as a failsafe plant. When eaten, it is typically boiled or roasted—after steeping it to remove naturally occurring toxic substances—but can also be mashed and dried to produce flour, or fermented into alcohol (usually in the form of [[#O|okumiri]]). Additionally, researchers have cultivated a genetically modified variant of the plant which maximises its efficiency as an ethanol biofuel feedstock; yielding upto 11% ethanol, compared to the theoretical maximum of around 5% for regular ounjegbo. (OOC: It's [[wikipedia:Cassava|Cassava]])
* '''Ounjibu''' ''(und͡ʒĩbu // OON-jib-oo)'' – Translated, can mean “super nourishment”. This is the name given to a group of selectively cross-bred crops, designed to fulfil one of two roles in Cobre agricultural tradition: either a food crop (for humans or livestock), or a crop grown specifically to add mass to a compost pile. These crops are divided into two subgroups accordingly: ''irinri'' (“to eat”) and ''dagbati'' (“to grow”), and the “parent seeds” are currently owned by [[Ipele Prossimo Humanité]] (IPH). The parent seeds are the result of generations of selective breeding per the Cobre agricultural tradition, combined with cross-breeding operations with technologically enhanced crops developed by the botanists and nutritional researchers within the [[Harambee Valley Agricole]] and the [[University of Dynapolis]].
* '''Ounjomi''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The juice of the [[#O|Ounjegbo]] plant, after steeping. If prepared without steeping the roots beforehand, it is highly toxic, and at lower doses, has been known to cause dizziness, confusion, and loss of consciousness. At higher doses, paralysis, coma, seizures, and cardiac arrest have been observed. When fermented, ounjomi produces [[#O|okumiri]].
* '''Owo awonkobu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally translates to "people's money". It is a form of [[wikipedia:Universal Basic Income|Universal Basic Income]] provided in [[Akach]], after a successful trial in [[Emekula, Akach|Emekula]]. A small amount of money is made available to every Akachese citizen eligible to vote, with subsidies of varying levels added for dependents. The success of the program in Akach has led to a campaign in Cobrio to enact a similar concept.
* '''Oya Ounje''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A large open-air food market in [[Camaron, Cobrio|Camaron]], spanning roughly sixteen thousand square yards. It grew organically in the former lands of an Osarian noble, seized by the separatist forces of [[#B|Barrington Douglas]] near the beginning of the struggle for independence. Over time, it grew, due to greater numbers of people flocking to the location to support the growing army based at the barracks in Camaron. The market these days is split into "sectors" for ease of navigation, with a dividing "street" through the centre, upon which several street food stalls are located. While there was no need for a permit originally to sell at the Oya Ounje, the [[Council of N'Katoma]] have enforced permits in recent years by deploying some of the [[#I|Ikemi Sarki]] to maintain order. A rough translation of the name "Oya Ounje" is "nourishing market", hinting at its content.
* '''Oyinlai''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – See [[#O|Omilailai]].
==P==
* '''Padapada''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – a slang term for a yo-yo. Comes from "pada", meaning "return", doubled up for emphasis. Also used in other contexts, such as within [[Àkoleoso]].
* '''Pontemundi''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – From the Latin "pontis" (bridge) and "mundus" (world); singular. "pontemundus". The name given to the collection of virtual realms operated by the Cobre-Osarian-Akachese tech conglomerate [[Ipele Prossimo Humanité]] (IPH). Using advanced cerebral mapping techniques, in conjunction with [[#A|amami eziolu]], the architecture of pontemundi enable developers to create worlds that act as a bridge between reality as we know it, and the worlds that exist within a person's mind. Currently, these worlds require expensive equipment to use, but IPH have been acquiring companies with expertise in design and manufacture of the neuro-technical components required, with a view to mass-production.
==Q==
==R==
* '''[[Rabastorian Union]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The Rabastorian Union (RBU) is a politico-economic union of nations, located in various regions of the multiverse. The two largest and most powerful member states—[[Cobrio]] and [[Osarius]]—are located in [[Anaia]], specifically on a landmass commonly known to inhabitants as [[Rabastor]]. The RBU has developed an internal single market through trade agreements and a system of regulations that apply in all "full member" states, though there are different types of membership which confer different benefits and restrictions accordingly. RBU policies generally aim to remove restrictions on the movement of people, goods, services, and capital within the internal market, and maintain common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries, and regional development while promoting co-operation between member states to maintain peace and order. Within the RBU, a valid passport issued by a member state is required to allow movement between states, while each individual member state issues its own permissions for external citizens to enter.
==S==
* '''Sarki''' ''(ˈsɑːr.kiː // SAA·key)'' – An old word meaning "King", denotes a specific kind of honour when used. Almost spiritual in nature, as opposed to the political title of King.
* '''Shenju''' ''(ˈʃɛn.dʒuː // SHEN·joo)'' – An honorific title meaning "teacher". Often used for elders or those considered wise. Its use is a sign of great respect for the person being referred to, and is not often used by students during their day-to-day studies. Rather, this title will be used specifically for a figure whose wisdom one respects greatly, or someone who is acknowledged to be above one's regular teacher.
==T==
* '''[[Temporal War]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A seventy year (roughly) war that occurred inside a time bubble, due to the machinations of the [[Kryosis|Kryosi Empire]]. [[Cobrio]] joined forces with [[Osarius]] to fend off the attacks, which was the start of a true alliance between the two nations, largely thanks to [[#T|Tukari Kaita]]. In the aftermath of the war, the [[#U|Umoja Accords]] were signed, cementing Cobrio's independence from Osarius, as well as establishing a co-operative relationship between the two nations.
* '''Tiquoia''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The ruler of the underworld (and the name of the underworld itself), where all dead souls go, to await the "recreation" ([[#U|Uturu]]) where all is balanced, and all lives exist in perfect harmony. Tiquoia is said to be strict, but never cruel.
* '''Tokolo''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A water spirit, often malevolent, but sometimes just mischievous. It is said that [[Tukari Kaita]] tamed the Tokolo to protect the coastline of Cobrio from attack during the struggle for independence and the [[Temporal War]] that followed, though it is unclear whether this actually happened.
* '''[[Tukari Kaita]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Highly esteemed Cobre leader, who served as both [[#S|Sarki]] and [[#B|Babbanyawo Kadangare]] at the time of Cobrio's independence. Led Cobre forces during the [[Temporal War]], and ultimately negotiated the [[#U|Umoja Accords]]. Credited with laying the groundwork for socially progressive movements—mainly focused on "returning power to the people" and the promotion of unity—in his writings (starting with "[[Belly of the Beast (Tukari Kaita book)|Belly of the Beast]]"; written about the Cobre movement's struggle for independence within Osarius). His ideas would be adopted by many in the decades to follow, and developed into a full-fledged political ideology and movement leading to the term "[[Tukarism]]".
* '''[[Tukarism]]''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A social and political ideology named for Cobre leader [[Tukari Kaita]], in which the people's self-determination is paramount. From his writings, it is clear that Kaita believed that co-operative economy, communal ownership of production, and protection of nature were key facets of "man's duty of life". These concepts, together, form the basis of Tukarism, which seeks to replace traditional governance and economy with a co-operative system in which the community takes priority, sharing equally in the "bounties of the earth".
* '''Turu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The [[#A|Akkano]] term for "house", though it carries a more spiritual implication (perhaps more akin to "home"). Akkano people believe that all humans are born under a "turu" (like a [[wikipedia:Zodiac|zodiac sign]], I guess) which determines certain traits of the person on a spiritual level, and that these traits cannot be avoided or completely hidden.
==U==
* '''Ugwu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Literally meaning "north(ern)". Often used by Cobre people to refer to Osarians, in a lightly disparaging manner. Can apply to any foreigner more generally, even if the nation is further south than Cobrio.
* '''Umoja''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Meaning "unity", it is the co-operatively governed region that spans much of the border between Cobrio and Osarius. [[Tukari Kaita]] suggested its creation in opposition to the proposal of a "no man's land" or "neutral zone" between the two nations, citing his belief that those solutions would breed resentment, hostility, and distrust, eventually leading to a resumption of the war between the two nations. The capital of the region is [[Dynapolis, Cobrio|Dynapolis]], with a joint council meeting in The [[Kaita Chambers]] once a month to decide regional policy.
* '''Umoja Accords''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – The agreements signed by representatives of both [[Osarius]] and [[Cobrio]] at the end of the [[Temporal War]]. They ratified the independence of Cobrio from Osarius, the creation of the [[#U|co-operative region of Umoja]], and the establishment of a new [[Rabastorian Union]].
* '''Unugonke''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A pact, or promise, between two or more parties that is said to be upheld by the [[Irunashe]]. Legend has it that one who breaks the terms of Unugonke (literally "united pact life") will die.
* '''[[Urawaga people|Urawaga]]''' ''(ˈuː.rɑː.wæ.gæ // OO·raa·wag·ah)'' – One of the ethnic groups, or "tribes" which make up the Cobre nation. Derived from the old-Cobre "yura wano go", meaning "people who worship the sky". This is a reference to the early Urawaga "superstition" of "reading the clouds" (See: [[#W|wanokeke]]) before making decisions.
* '''Utojáni''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – From ''uto'' ("sweet") + ''jáni'' ("bite"). A traditional snack of fried, bite-sized dough balls. Generally made of dough containing flour, yeast, sugar, butter, salt, water and eggs (optional), and deep-fried in vegetable oil to a golden-brown colour. Baking powder is sometimes used as a replacement for yeast. After frying, the balls can be rolled in sugar, or another spice or flavouring such as cinnamon, vanilla or nutmeg. They are sometimes served with a dip, typically made from sweet fruit like strawberry or raspberry. (OOC: It's [[wikipedia:Puff-puff|puff-puff]]).
* '''Uturu''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Means "recreation". The Cobre belief in a time when the [[Irunashe]] will converge, and re-create the world anew, erasing all problems. In the re-created world, there will be no suffering, as all will exist in perfect harmony, balanced with nature.
==V==
==W==
* '''Wanokeke''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Roughly translates to "sky reading". Refers to the [[#U|Urawaga]] tradition of making decisions based on cloud formations (or lack thereof), and their shapes and colours. In modern times, this is considered "superstition" and treated much like astrology is. A related term, "wanori", refers to the concept that all that will come is written in the sky. Comparable to the concept of "[[wikipedia:Moirai|fate]]" as seen in Greek mythology, for example.
* '''War of the Metals''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – A protracted series of battles between two noble house in [[Osarius]], which eventually led to the ascension of the [[#A|House of Aurumia]] to the throne. The losing family, the [[#A|House of Argento]], was based primarily in the Dynapolitan region and is believed to have previously subjugated the Cobre nation. The outcome of the war is said to have been a major factor in the dwindling population of Cobre peoples, and one of the reasons for the oppressive conditions under which they lived for decades.
* '''Wopomasi''' ''(IPA coming soon // WOH-poh-MASS-ee)'' – Literally meaning "common choice" or "common preference", it is the traditional Cobre method of electing a [[#S|Sarki]]. Typically, the process requires each member of the [[Council of N'Katoma]] to list their choices in order of preference, these preferences are then compared to determine which candidate is the "common preference" over most or all other options. A variation of this process which ranks the common preferences of all voters -- i.e. allows for selection of the "top ''n''" preferences among voters -- is used to elect officials to local councils also.
==X==
==Y==
* '''Yoliso''' ''(IPA coming soon)'' – Third person future tense of yoliri (to win). Used mostly in chants, following a person, group, or entity. For example "Maripa Yoliso", as used by fans of the [[Akach national football team]], to mean "The [[Ipanism|Almighty Force]] will win"; or "Unukobu Yoliso", as used by Tukarists, which can be interpreted as "The People United will win" or "Together, the People will win". Similar terms exist for the first person future tense conjugation singular (yolité) and plural (yoliṡé).
==Z==
* '''Zabamince wadanda''' ''(zæb.æ.ˈmɪn.tʃeɪ wæ.dæn.ˈdɑː // Zab·ah·MIN·chay wa·dan·DAH)'' – Loosely translated, it means "chosen trusted ones". They serve as bodyguards and valets to the leader of the Cobre nation. To be appointed to the Zabamince wadanda is a great honour, and brings honour to your community and tribe. Generally speaking, the Zawa (as they are sometimes known) are made up of approximately equal numbers from each ethnic group, and both train with and guard the holder of the title [[#B|Babbanyawo Kadangare]]. However, in times where there is no recognised holder of this title, or at his/her command, they will guard other prominent figures within the Cobre nation. Since the death of [[#T|Tukari Kaita]], the Zawa have predominantly been assigned to guard the Sarki. A sub-unit of the Zawa ([[#I|Ikemi Sarki]]) was even formed expressly to serve the [[#S|Sarki]].

I like to play around with weird concepts, and general craziness... And if people want to come along for the ride, they're welcome. The table to the left shows all the nations I control, each with their flag and a sort of ... identifying phrase.

My main nation, '''Osarius''', has gradually become less of an obvious ''"What if Britain was..?"'' over the years, taking elements of various nations (all of whom were imperialist colonisers, I later noticed) and a mishmash of other things I just think are cool. Their status as imperialist colonisers is largely accidental, but I leaned into it when I realised my other puppets needed a "big bad evil nation" I suppose.

'''Cobrio''' was born out of this desire to RP something that wasn't just mirroring the same nonsense I saw every day in Real Life. Spurred on a bit by the success of Black Panther in the cinema world, I leaned into making it a full-on Pan-African nation that amalgamates a bunch of different African cultures and customs into something I could have fun RPing. Characterising the nation as "Angry Wakanda" sums up the vibe I'm mostly going for. This strange middle ground between tradition and cultural heritage, but also futuristic progress. This is where most of my [[wikipedia:Afrofuturism|Afrofuturism]] concepts play out. I'm trying to expand on this as much as I can, because I find it all fascinating, but Afrofuturism also a ''vast'' genre encompassing a wide variety of ideas and concepts.

'''Kryosis''' is actually my original nation, when I was in "I like pretending to be a psychotic dictator" mode in my teens. Over time, I've semi-retired the nation and use it mainly for mysterious, shadowy nonsense as and when needed. '''Akach''' was created largely to give "socialist nation" RPing a proper go. I'm taking a lot of cues from [https://thepanafrica.com/the-revolution-of-thomas-sankara-how-burkina-faso-stood-tall/ Thomas Sankara's Burkina Faso] for this one, and melding those ideas with a lot of more modern approaches to "people-first" governance. Tricky stuff, but it does give me a lot to think about. '''Limey George''' is basically the opposite of this... it's my take on an alternate history where Britain goes the Saudi Arabia route of positioning itself as an important trade partner, rather than full-on "conquer most of the world". The logic doesn't really hold up but go with it anyway. Imagine feudal Britain, but as Saudi Arabia. With limes instead of oil. And where the Vikings were a bit more uh... invadey. Then fast forward to modern times, but leave out the bit about modernising governance, and the introduction of silly ideas like "universal suffrage" and "workers' rights". That's Limey George.

Some nations are just offbeat concepts I had years ago and never ''properly'' developed. But I keep them around for a change of pace when I'm bored of serious RP. '''Eristicea''' was my attempt to lampoon theocracy. Very heavy-handedly and not very well done at all. But it's my take on a theocratic nation based on [[wikipedia:Discordianism|Discordianism]]—which is a deliberately nonsensical statement. The nation exists now mainly for me to play around with the more ridiculous ideas I have. While '''Callistea''' is a sort of vaguely defined "cult" centred on the Ancient Greek deity [[wikipedia:Aphrodite|Aphrodite]] (and her many aspects). Again, the conecpt is deliberately ridiculous. Also a little problematic, the more I think about it. Part of the reason I don't often use it lately. I'm trying to think of ways to retcon and rehabilitate what increasingly looks like the internalised misogyny of a younger me, manifest. '''Marmaladaica''' (shout out Ko for the nation name), was originally a throwaway joke, which I then decided I would create. In a nod to the origin of the name, I figured it could be all the ''good'' things about the Caribbean—particularly Jamaica—fused with all the ''positive'' British colonial influences (and there are ''some''), all manifested in a citizenry that is made up of characters with similar morals to [[wikipedia:Paddington Bear|Paddington Bear]]. In a way, this is probably the best reflection of what I would have considered a "utopia" when I was younger. In fact, I suppose Paddington himself is a sort of idealistic vision of what an immigrant to Britain would be, and feel.

'''Xiaolin''' was another fun idea, which I haven't had a massive amount of time to develop. But really, it was my take on having a "magical" nation that wouldn't be typical fantasy with elves and dwarves and all that. I wanted something a bit more interesting. So I came up with the idea of the magic being linked to martial arts and hip hop (because I love martial arts and hip hop)—which ultimately meant I ended up with some weird wuxia-blaxploitation crossover. And I realised it was basically just me putting the Wu Tang Clan into a [[wikipedia:Wuxia|modern-Wuxia-fantasy]] setting—specifically, I realised I draw ''a lot'' from [[wikipedia:Water Margin|''Outlaws of the Marsh'']] and the concept of the [[wikipedia:108 Heroes|108 Heroes]], probably because that's the loose inspiration behind [[wikipedia:Suikoden II|my all-time favourite video game]]—so I ran with it. Similar to Akach, it's a sort of amalgamation of multiple cultures and languages. Pan-Asian, this time, though. The main problem I have with it now is trying not to fall into racialised tropes about magical Asians, I suppose. '''Kage no Ryouiki''' was supposed to be my card farming/storage puppet but I created it too late. I had so much fun coming up with ideas and concepts that I forgot that it needed to exist sooner. It's basically [[wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'s "Shadow Realm" as I imagine it, but there's a bunch of other anime-inspired and influenced "demon world" concepts floating around for that one. Feel free to count how many you recognise. Just remember I am old, we're talking about a [[wikipedia:Yu Yu Hakusho|Yu Yu Hakusho]]-to-[[wikipedia:Bleach (anime)|Bleach]] era anime fan, not your modern demon/supernatural series. I'll probably RP it more when I really dig into Xiaolin's lore, since they'd be nice opposites to play with.

'''Tobar Gainimh''', '''Diwedd Ardal''', and '''Novum-castrum''' are all just different takes on places I have lived in, with gross exaggerations to give them distinct identities. If you recognise the languages you can probably figure out the places in England they're supposed to correlate to from the names, but the characteristics I gave them don't really indicate anything beyond that. I can tell you now that the town in Staffordshire I lived in while at uni is absolutely ''not'' a modernised Ancient Rome, for example. Anyway these nations don't really serve any purpose right now beyond being useful for background stuff, and as a kind of staging ground for other ideas. Mostly to do with crazy domestic sports league concepts. And finally, '''Erdingham''' is actually my wife's old nation, which I resurrected years after she left it to die. Turns out, roleplaying in a zany political sim game wasn't her cup of tea. I don't have any real plans for it yet, beyond a vague re-telling of the history of the area I live in right now. But it's handy for background flavour at the moment. Similar to the last three.

==Development Stuff==
===Xkoranate-CE===
There is a github repo containing the source code for Xkoranate, with subsequent edits to allow it to compile on newer machines. 
This version – Xkoranate-CE, or Xkoranate Community Edition – is still undergoing some updates and is still quite buggy. 
The source code is freely available in [https://github.com/NS-Sports/Xkoranate-CE/ the github repo], with updated binaries for the last release of xkoranate (v0.3.3) now available for macOS, courtesy of Jiangbei.

Any subsequent releases of the updated codebase will be found on github, likely pre-compiled for both windows and macOS as things progress – though if you use linux, you will need to compile it yourself for the time being.

If you wish to contribute, make a fork of the repository on github and submit a pull request to the dev branch containing your changes. 
Make sure you have tested the changes, and documented them fully. Once reviewed by another user, your changes can be merged into the master branch. 
Please refer to the [[gdoc:1h_5nLUJ90Qs3oYZVGRUY9hYA3lsy1btA3Lb0AW_digc|github guidance notes]] for more information.

===Xkoranate-CE Python Edition===
I have also begun gradually porting the entire code base for Xkoranate to python for easier maintenance. 
The reason for this is primarily because the original code is in C++ and Qt, but both have undergone several updates since xkoranate was written... and neither of the two are well-known languages in the NS Sports community. 
 
If you would like to contribute to the python version of Xkoranate, please (and I mean '''''please''''') let me know. 
It will likely take a long time to replicate all of the functionality in the software, so I would welcome the assistance. 
Once it is complete, it should be a lot easier to maintain and keep up to date with new versions of python and the related modules etc.

I like to play around with weird concepts, and general craziness... And if people want to come along for the ride, they're welcome. The table to the left shows all the nations I control, each with their flag and a sort of ... identifying phrase.

My main nation, '''Osarius''', has gradually become less of an obvious ''"What if Britain was..?"'' over the years, taking elements of various nations (all of whom were imperialist colonisers, I later noticed) and a mishmash of other things I just think are cool. Their status as imperialist colonisers is largely accidental, but I leaned into it when I realised my other puppets needed a "big bad evil nation" I suppose.

'''Cobrio''' was born out of this desire to RP something that wasn't just mirroring the same nonsense I saw every day in Real Life. Spurred on a bit by the success of Black Panther in the cinema world, I leaned into making it a full-on Pan-African nation that amalgamates a bunch of different African cultures and customs into something I could have fun RPing. Characterising the nation as "Angry Wakanda" sums up the vibe I'm mostly going for. This strange middle ground between tradition and cultural heritage, but also futuristic progress. This is where most of my [[wikipedia:Afrofuturism|Afrofuturism]] concepts play out. I'm trying to expand on this as much as I can, because I find it all fascinating, but Afrofuturism also a ''vast'' genre encompassing a wide variety of ideas and concepts.

'''Kryosis''' is actually my original nation, when I was in "I like pretending to be a psychotic dictator" mode in my teens. Over time, I've semi-retired the nation and use it mainly for mysterious, shadowy nonsense as and when needed. '''Akach''' was created largely to give "socialist nation" RPing a proper go. I'm taking a lot of cues from [https://thepanafrica.com/the-revolution-of-thomas-sankara-how-burkina-faso-stood-tall/ Thomas Sankara's Burkina Faso] for this one, and melding those ideas with a lot of more modern approaches to "people-first" governance. Tricky stuff, but it does give me a lot to think about. '''Limey George''' is basically the opposite of this... it's my take on an alternate history where Britain goes the Saudi Arabia route of positioning itself as an important trade partner, rather than full-on "conquer most of the world". The logic doesn't really hold up but go with it anyway. Imagine feudal Britain, but as Saudi Arabia. With limes instead of oil. And where the Vikings were a bit more uh... invadey. Then fast forward to modern times, but leave out the bit about modernising governance, and the introduction of silly ideas like "universal suffrage" and "workers' rights". That's Limey George.

Some nations are just offbeat concepts I had years ago and never ''properly'' developed. But I keep them around for a change of pace when I'm bored of serious RP. '''Eristicea''' was my attempt to lampoon theocracy. Very heavy-handedly and not very well done at all. But it's my take on a theocratic nation based on [[wikipedia:Discordianism|Discordianism]]—which is a deliberately nonsensical statement. The nation exists now mainly for me to play around with the more ridiculous ideas I have. While '''Callistea''' is a sort of vaguely defined "cult" centred on the Ancient Greek deity [[wikipedia:Aphrodite|Aphrodite]] (and her many aspects). Again, the conecpt is deliberately ridiculous. Also a little problematic, the more I think about it. Part of the reason I don't often use it lately. I'm trying to think of ways to retcon and rehabilitate what increasingly looks like the internalised misogyny of a younger me, manifest. '''Marmaladaica''' (shout out Ko for the nation name), was originally a throwaway joke, which I then decided I would create. In a nod to the origin of the name, I figured it could be all the ''good'' things about the Caribbean—particularly Jamaica—fused with all the ''positive'' British colonial influences (and there are ''some''), all manifested in a citizenry that is made up of characters with similar morals to [[wikipedia:Paddington Bear|Paddington Bear]]. In a way, this is probably the best reflection of what I would have considered a "utopia" when I was younger. In fact, I suppose Paddington himself is a sort of idealistic vision of what an immigrant to Britain would be, and feel.

'''Xiaolin''' was another fun idea, which I haven't had a massive amount of time to develop. But really, it was my take on having a "magical" nation that wouldn't be typical fantasy with elves and dwarves and all that. I wanted something a bit more interesting. So I came up with the idea of the magic being linked to martial arts and hip hop (because I love martial arts and hip hop)—which ultimately meant I ended up with some weird wuxia-blaxploitation crossover. And I realised it was basically just me putting the Wu Tang Clan into a [[wikipedia:Wuxia|modern-Wuxia-fantasy]] setting—specifically, I realised I draw ''a lot'' from [[wikipedia:Water Margin|''Outlaws of the Marsh'']] and the concept of the [[wikipedia:108 Heroes|108_Heroes]], probably because that's the loose inspiration behind [[wikipedia:Suikoden II|my all-time favourite video game]]—so I ran with it. Similar to Akach, it's a sort of amalgamation of multiple cultures and languages. Pan-Asian, this time, though. The main problem I have with it now is trying not to fall into racialised tropes about magical Asians, I suppose. '''Kage no Ryouiki''' was supposed to be my card farming/storage puppet but I created it too late. I had so much fun coming up with ideas and concepts that I forgot that it needed to exist sooner. It's basically [[wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'s "Shadow Realm" as I imagine it, but there's a bunch of other anime-inspired and influenced "demon world" concepts floating around for that one. Feel free to count how many you recognise. Just remember I am old, we're talking about a [[wikipedia:Yu Yu Hakusho|Yu Yu Hakusho]]-to-[[wikipedia:Bleach (anime)|Bleach]] era anime fan, not your modern demon/supernatural series. I'll probably RP it more when I really dig into Xiaolin's lore, since they'd be nice opposites to play with.

'''Tobar Gainimh''', '''Diwedd Ardal''', and '''Novum-castrum''' are all just different takes on places I have lived in, with gross exaggerations to give them distinct identities. If you recognise the languages you can probably figure out the places in England they're supposed to correlate to from the names, but the characteristics I gave them don't really indicate anything beyond that. I can tell you now that the town in Staffordshire I lived in while at uni is absolutely ''not'' a modernised Ancient Rome, for example. Anyway these nations don't really serve any purpose right now beyond being useful for background stuff, and as a kind of staging ground for other ideas. Mostly to do with crazy domestic sports league concepts. And finally, '''Erdingham''' is actually my wife's old nation, which I resurrected years after she left it to die. Turns out, roleplaying in a zany political sim game wasn't her cup of tea. I don't have any real plans for it yet, beyond a vague re-telling of the history of the area I live in right now. But it's handy for background flavour at the moment. Similar to the last three.

==Development Stuff==
===Xkoranate-CE===
There is a github repo containing the source code for Xkoranate, with subsequent edits to allow it to compile on newer machines. 
This version – Xkoranate-CE, or Xkoranate Community Edition – is still undergoing some updates and is still quite buggy. 
The source code is freely available in [https://github.com/NS-Sports/Xkoranate-CE/ the github repo], with updated binaries for the last release of xkoranate (v0.3.3) now available for macOS, courtesy of Jiangbei.

Any subsequent releases of the updated codebase will be found on github, likely pre-compiled for both windows and macOS as things progress – though if you use linux, you will need to compile it yourself for the time being.

If you wish to contribute, make a fork of the repository on github and submit a pull request to the dev branch containing your changes. 
Make sure you have tested the changes, and documented them fully. Once reviewed by another user, your changes can be merged into the master branch. 
Please refer to the [[gdoc:1h_5nLUJ90Qs3oYZVGRUY9hYA3lsy1btA3Lb0AW_digc|github guidance notes]] for more information.

===Xkoranate-CE Python Edition===
I have also begun gradually porting the entire code base for Xkoranate to python for easier maintenance. 
The reason for this is primarily because the original code is in C++ and Qt, but both have undergone several updates since xkoranate was written... and neither of the two are well-known languages in the NS Sports community. 
 
If you would like to contribute to the python version of Xkoranate, please (and I mean '''''please''''') let me know. 
It will likely take a long time to replicate all of the functionality in the software, so I would welcome the assistance. 
Once it is complete, it should be a lot easier to maintain and keep up to date with new versions of python and the related modules etc.

'''Limey George''' is basically the opposite of this... it's my take on an alternate history where Britain goes the Saudi Arabia route of positioning itself as an important trade partner, rather than full-on "conquer most of the world". The logic doesn't really hold up but go with it anyway. Imagine feudal Britain, but as Saudi Arabia. With limes instead of oil. And where the Vikings were a bit more uh... invadey. Then fast forward to modern times, but leave out the bit about modernising governance, and the introduction of silly ideas like "universal suffrage" and "workers' rights". That's Limey George.

Some nations are just offbeat concepts I had years ago and never ''properly'' developed. But I keep them around for a change of pace when I'm bored of serious RP. '''Eristicea''' was my attempt to lampoon theocracy. Very heavy-handedly and not very well done at all. But it's my take on a theocratic nation based on [[wikipedia:Discordianism|Discordianism]]—which is a deliberately nonsensical statement. The nation exists now mainly for me to play around with the more ridiculous ideas I have. While '''Callistea''' is a sort of vaguely defined "cult" centred on the Ancient Greek deity [[wikipedia:Aphrodite|Aphrodite]] (and her many aspects). Again, the conecpt is deliberately ridiculous. Also a little problematic, the more I think about it. Part of the reason I don't often use it lately. I'm trying to think of ways to retcon and rehabilitate what increasingly looks like the internalised misogyny of a younger me, manifest. '''Marmaladaica''' (shout out Ko for the nation name), was originally a throwaway joke, which I then decided I would create. In a nod to the origin of the name, I figured it could be all the ''good'' things about the Caribbean—particularly Jamaica—fused with all the ''positive'' British colonial influences (and there are ''some''), all manifested in a citizenry that is made up of characters with similar morals to [[wikipedia:Paddington Bear|Paddington Bear]]. In a way, this is probably the best reflection of what I would have considered a "utopia" when I was younger. In fact, I suppose Paddington himself is a sort of idealistic vision of what an immigrant to Britain would be, and feel.

'''Xiaolin''' was another fun idea, which I haven't had a massive amount of time to develop. But really, it was my take on having a "magical" nation that wouldn't be typical fantasy with elves and dwarves and all that. I wanted something a bit more interesting. So I came up with the idea of the magic being linked to martial arts and hip hop (because I love martial arts and hip hop)—which ultimately meant I ended up with some weird wuxia-blaxploitation crossover. And I realised it was basically just me putting the Wu Tang Clan into a [[wikipedia:Wuxia|modern-Wuxia-fantasy]] setting—specifically, I realised I draw ''a lot'' from [[wikipedia:Water Margin|''Outlaws of the Marsh'']] and the concept of the [[wikipedia:108 Heroes|108_Heroes]], probably because that's the loose inspiration behind [[wikipedia:Suikoden II|my all-time favourite video game]]—so I ran with it. Similar to Akach, it's a sort of amalgamation of multiple cultures and languages. Pan-Asian, this time, though. The main problem I have with it now is trying not to fall into racialised tropes about magical Asians, I suppose. '''Kage no Ryouiki''' was supposed to be my card farming/storage puppet but I created it too late. I had so much fun coming up with ideas and concepts that I forgot that it needed to exist sooner. It's basically [[wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'s "Shadow Realm" as I imagine it, but there's a bunch of other anime-inspired and influenced "demon world" concepts floating around for that one. Feel free to count how many you recognise. Just remember I am old, we're talking about a [[wikipedia:Yu Yu Hakusho|Yu Yu Hakusho]]-to-[[wikipedia:Bleach (anime)|Bleach]] era anime fan, not your modern demon/supernatural series. I'll probably RP it more when I really dig into Xiaolin's lore, since they'd be nice opposites to play with.

'''Tobar Gainimh''', '''Diwedd Ardal''', and '''Novum-castrum''' are all just different takes on places I have lived in, with gross exaggerations to give them distinct identities. If you recognise the languages you can probably figure out the places in England they're supposed to correlate to from the names, but the characteristics I gave them don't really indicate anything beyond that. I can tell you now that the town in Staffordshire I lived in while at uni is absolutely ''not'' a modernised Ancient Rome, for example. Anyway these nations don't really serve any purpose right now beyond being useful for background stuff, and as a kind of staging ground for other ideas. Mostly to do with crazy domestic sports league concepts. And finally, '''Erdingham''' is actually my wife's old nation, which I resurrected years after she left it to die. Turns out, roleplaying in a zany political sim game wasn't her cup of tea. I don't have any real plans for it yet, beyond a vague re-telling of the history of the area I live in right now. But it's handy for background flavour at the moment. Similar to the last three.

==Development Stuff==
===Xkoranate-CE===
There is a github repo containing the source code for Xkoranate, with subsequent edits to allow it to compile on newer machines. 
This version – Xkoranate-CE, or Xkoranate Community Edition – is still undergoing some updates and is still quite buggy. 
The source code is freely available in [https://github.com/NS-Sports/Xkoranate-CE/ the github repo], with updated binaries for the last release of xkoranate (v0.3.3) now available for macOS, courtesy of Jiangbei.

Any subsequent releases of the updated codebase will be found on github, likely pre-compiled for both windows and macOS as things progress – though if you use linux, you will need to compile it yourself for the time being.

If you wish to contribute, make a fork of the repository on github and submit a pull request to the dev branch containing your changes. 
Make sure you have tested the changes, and documented them fully. Once reviewed by another user, your changes can be merged into the master branch. 
Please refer to the [[gdoc:1h_5nLUJ90Qs3oYZVGRUY9hYA3lsy1btA3Lb0AW_digc|github guidance notes]] for more information.

===Xkoranate-CE Python Edition===
I have also begun gradually porting the entire code base for Xkoranate to python for easier maintenance. 
The reason for this is primarily because the original code is in C++ and Qt, but both have undergone several updates since xkoranate was written... and neither of the two are well-known languages in the NS Sports community. 
 
If you would like to contribute to the python version of Xkoranate, please (and I mean '''''please''''') let me know. 
It will likely take a long time to replicate all of the functionality in the software, so I would welcome the assistance. 
Once it is complete, it should be a lot easier to maintain and keep up to date with new versions of python and the related modules etc.
