IMPORTANT NOTES TO SELF FOR THE ZHOTWESTO
1) The primary target of the campaign becomes the clergy. Sure, non-clergy end up caught in it, but this is primarily targeted as a religious campaign. The Oshokoese arrive in an area, they round up and execute/deport to labour camps/etc. the priests. Everyone else gets told at gunpoint to convert to Mukori. Some of the stubborn ones who refuse get classified as clergy in disguise and sent off/executed. The others do the wise thing and claim conversion, at which point they are watched but otherwise treated like any occupied nation.
2) When an occupied region has banditry/partisan/etc. problems this is blamed on secret Altralists. Often it might even be true. There are reprisals against communities thought to be hiding Altralists.
3) There are plans for mass expulsions of these "forced converts" (ex-Altralists) once the war is won, to clear space for true believers to settle. These plans are never properly followed through on because Onshokostan never has the capability.
4) Towards the end of the war, as it becomes clear the Onshokoese are losing, there are incidents of mass reprisals against "Altralist traitors" or "liquidations" of labour camps. These are fragmented and incomplete though, as by the time this starts happening enemy forces are already overrunning the areas these are in.
5) Expect a harsher response towards Onshokostan in the peace than towards Germany or Japan IRL, just from the simple fact they were explicitly targeting the main religion of most of the first world, so reports of what they were doing are gonna create a much stronger public uproar towards Onshokostan than similar reports about atrocities against the various minority groups targeted by the Germans/Japanese did IRL.

Sutaqlian Culture
- There are three classes of tribe: the divaray (water people), the miqliroy (coast people), and the jataray (land people).
- The divaray spend their entire lives on ship or very small islands, depending on fish, mollusks, cephalopods, sea turtles, marine mammals, and the occasional albatross.
- The jataray live far from the islands' coasts, growing crops and raising cattle, sheep, and goats.
- Since the miqliroy live on the coast, they too practice agriculture; however they have developed a sustainable method of aquaculture to obtain seafood.
- Once a child hits 14 years old, they have a coming-of-age festival, which includes music, dance, banquets, and the honored young adult receiving their tribe's tattoo on their right wrist.
- Nobody may marry another in their own tribe, and the practice is considered incest. When two are married, the woman switches to her husband's tribe, and remains in it unto death. The woman switches tribes again if she divorces or is widowed and re-marries. Men never switch tribes.
Whale hunting
Whale hunting is a very popular sport, being played by 9.6 million Sutaqlians and earning the sporting industry approximately 100 to 120 billion Sutaqlian yaqos every year. Despite its popularity, it has been condemned by ecologists for driving the decline of whale species, and environmentalist groups in Sutaqlia advocate for its ban.
How to play whale hunting:
- Form two teams of at least four players, most commonly six.
- Each player shall have a spear.
- Each team's boat starts on opposite sides of the arena, which is a lake large enough to hold the whale.
- The goal is to be the first team to kill the whale.
- Hitting the facial areas gives more points than any other part of the whale's body.
- Never attack or injure members of the other team; that is considered cheating and grounds for disqualification of the offending player and/or an automatic loss.
- When the whale dies, the team with the most points celebrates their victory with a meal of the whale's meat. However, since Sutaqlian culture requires the equal treatment of all players, the losing team receives a smaller meal from the same whale.
Economy
Being a regional power, Sutaqlia has a sizable control over the local market, but is the largest exporter in its region's seafood industry for cultural reasons. The largest entrepreneurs belong to the divaray tribes, as they are excellent seafarers, and thus Sutaqlia relies on them for trade with the rest of the world. While use of currency is the norm nowadays, the traditional practice of bartering still occurs in some rural areas. When Sutaqlia invaded other countries at its prime, Sutaqlia became one of the largest (if not the largest) economies in the world, which is just one reason why it's a regional power.
Jeglijan History
1st century AE
- Atla the Mighty is enthroned as the first Bretz in the year 1 AE, beginning the Jeglijan calendar. Although he almost certainly existed, the Divine Legends is an exaggeration, and no tomb has been located yet.
6th century AE
- Nenghars domesticate the horse.
8th century AE
- The first bronze tools appear.
- According to radiocarbon dating of Divine Legends copies and excerpts, the Jeglijan syllabary must have developed by 750 AE.
- By this time, the Jeglijan have learned to domesticate the horse from the Nenghars.
9th century AE
- The first references to a Brezje (old Jeglijan Benseje) are recorded. Ur Bilidarm I (r. c. 830-875) is the first Bretz known to have existed with 100% certainty, as his tomb exists. The direct descendant of Atla, he united the deity patron states into one kingdom.
- Construction of the Palace of Rizborn begins.
10th century AE
- By 1000 AE, the Palace's construction is completed. It stands more than 30 meters tall.
20th century AE
- 1992-1993: Barado, chief of the _ Nenghars, is convicted of treason. Wentz Erbenhorn I sentences the entire tribe to death. Approximately 8,000 innocent Nenghars, or 90% of the tribe, were massacred. Led by Eradong, the survivors go into hiding.
- January 27, 1995: Eradong leads the raid of the Palace of Rizborn. Erbenhorn I is assassinated.
Proto-Pan-Anqirhan language
Phonology
The Proto-Pan-Anqirhan language had five series of consonants, a voicing contrast in stops, and zero fricatives. The actual pronunciations of *ɣ and *q are not reconstructible; their reflexes in Anqirhan are [ʁ] and [q] respectively, but in sister languages, *ɣ shifted to, [x], [ɰ], [h], [k], [g], [j], [w], [tʃ], [dʒ], or was elided altogether; while *q shifted to [ʔ], [k], [h], [x], or too was elided.
Labial | Alveolar | Palatal | Velar | Laryngeal | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nasal | *m | *n | *ɲ | *ŋ | |
Voiceless stop | *p | *t | *c | *k | *q |
Voiced stop | *b | *d | *j | *g | |
Sonorant | *w | *l | *y | *ɣ | *h |
Proto-Pan-Anqirhan had a seven-vowel inventory similar to real-life Amharic's:
Front | Central | Back | |
---|---|---|---|
Closed | *i | *ɨ | *u |
Mid | *e | *ə | *o |
Open | *a |
*a, *i, and *u are directly derived from an internal reconstruction of Pre-Anqirhan from the first documents written in the Anqirhan language, with *e, *ə, *ɨ, and *o also derived from vowel alternations. Respectively, *ə is reconstructed where all three Anqirhan vowels alternated, and *ɨ is reconstructed where only Anqirhan /i/ and /u/ alternated. The vowels *e and *o are required for correspondences between /e/ and /o/ in sister languages and Anqirhan's /a/~/i/ and /a/~/u/ alternations respectively. In Anqirhan, *e and *o were raised to *i and *u respectively when after palatals or before *l or *ɲ, and merged into *a in all other cases.
Syllables were of the maximum form CVN. All morphemes were stressed on their penultimate mora, meaning the final syllable was stressed if it was closed, otherwise the penultimate syllable was stressed.
Sound changes leading to Anqirhan
- e, o → i, u at position [ɲ, c, j, y]_ and/or _[l, ɲ]
- ɲ → ŋ at the end of a word
- ɲ, c, j, ɣ → n, s, z, ʁ
- V → Ø / [stop]_[l, y, w] and unstressed
- h → Ø / [stop]V_V when the following vowel is stressed
- p, b, t, d, s, z, k, g, q → t, d, tʃ, dʒ, ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ, tʃ at position _[y, i]
- kw, gw, qw → p, b, p
- y[e, ə, ɨ], w[o, ə] → i, u
- [e, ə, ɨ]y, [o, ə]w → i, u at position _C
- [w, y] → Ø at position C_V
- All remaining [e, o, ə], ɨ → a, u
- All words are stressed on their penultimate vowel
- V → Ø when unstressed and at position [nasal or sonorant]_[obstruent]
- Nasal assimilation
