Ukilen Union

Baphia, officially the Democratic Union of Baphia (Baphian: Bafia Minju Soyu (pronunciation: [bafɪja mɪnd͡ʒju sɔju]), Noellastani: Republe Vona Baphia (pronunciation: [ʁɛpʊblə vonə bæβjə]), Kzmr: 'Bfžh 'Hhvu-Skrki Smpn-Þb (pronunciation: [bafʒa wuwɵ̞v ʃəcerəc səmapn̩ ðəb]), Jkawi: , Azkali: Notheztakin Dekratzithe en Ikui (pronunciation: [nɔθes̻takin ðekɾat̪s̻ɪθɛ ɛn ɪkuɪ], Hallusian: ), is a country that spans the vast majority of Ukilen and all of Northern Ukilen. It borders Sunteria, Azkali, and Jkawi, and shares maritime borders with Kalitana and Union. Baphia consists of 2 constituent countries, Baphia Minor and Kzmr, and 2 constituent colonies, Hallei and Jyosti, which are the same thing except for title and importance to the greater union. Constituent countries and colonies are de facto independent, and represent themselves internationally, but de jure all the same country.

Baphia has over 200 million people within its borders and is the most populated country in the world, as well as being both one of the least densely populated overall (without counting Turku or Bongsibon) and having the most densely populated city in the world, Turku. About Half of the country is desert with the other half being either steppe, pine forest, swamp or tundra in their respective regions. The country is not very mountainous, with the only mountains being around Turku and near the Azkali border. Baphia is currently experiencing a 4th baby boom due to returning soldiers from the 3rd Bapho-Azkali War.

History

Settlement

Baphia has had occupants' sense at least 4500 BC if not sooner, some estimates even say as early as 7000 BC. During initial occupation of Baphia, only Kalis and proto-Kaneeds had settled in the area. Many proto-Kaneeds went north to Jyosti and settled there. Sometime in 2500 BC, Kaneeds from the north began to come south and settle in modern day Kzmr and slowly became what are now known as Xenic Kaneed. Soon after another wave of Kaneed migration from Jyosti and Modern day Azkali slowly made Kaneed become the majority in northern Ukilen.
