Vallis Draconum (English: [ˈvælɪs dɹæˈkʰʌwnəm], Latin: [ˈwal.lɪs draˈkoːnʊ̃]), often referred to as the Draconian Republic or Respūblica Draconum, is a country in the south of Ŋafrica, north of the Rauratoshan Kingdom and south of the seven territory.

Etymology

"Vallis Draconum" comes from the Latin words "vallis" (valley) and "draconum" (dragon), meaning literally "Valley of Dragons." In Latin, it is rendered as "VALLIS DRACÓNVM".

Geography

Much of Vallis Draconum's territory is in the Ŋegyptian region. However, the nearby hills are also part of the nation's territory.

There are four currently-planned settlements in Vallis Draconum: Vallis Ignium in the desert proper, Plāna Diabolōrum in the nearby hills, Mare Tranquillum in an as-yet-undisclosed area, and Alcyōn Ēlysiī in the cliffs north of Vallis Ignium. Vallis Ignium, like Elemental City, is built on the coast of Vanilla Lake, and the island within is considered part of the city, more specifically the section known as Linea Dipolamatica.

Demographics

Vallis Draconum's population consists primarily of dragons and related races. While the various types of dragon are well distributed across Vallis Draconum, parts of the nation have a higher incidence of certain types of dragon, such as sea dragons in Mare Tranquillum, or sand dragons in Vallis Ignium.

Languages

English is used as a lingua franca in Vallis Draconum. However, the native language of the region is Latin, and Japanese-speakers have also been long-term residents, as the "pocket monsters" native to the former Elemental Republic are said to come from Aylongam.^{[citation needed]}

Vallis Draconum largely writes in a continuation of Classical Latin, much like Regnate Latium. However, Latinate residents of Vallis Draconum often speak in a separate dialect known as Ferritumulic Latin. The Regnate digamma letter, <Ⅎ>, is sometimes seen in place of <V> where it is /w/ in Classical Latin, and is used where a standard romanization of Japanese would use <w>, but other Regnate neographs are unused.

Politics

Vallis Draconum, politically, is the result of a fracture in the historic nation of the Elemental Republic. Vallis Ignium, the former capital of the Elemental Republic, is still the administrative center of Vallis Draconum, in spite of its closeness to the border with the Rauratoshan Kingdom.

Governance

Main article: Politics of Vallis Draconum

Vallis Draconum is nominally a semi-presidental republic, with the President and Prime Minister both sharing substantial executive power. The Prime Minister is appointed by the President, and the Prime Minister and their cabinet are exclusively accountable to parliament of Vallis Draconum. The President is elected every 5 years, through a two-round system, while the parliament is elected every 4 years, with first-past-the-post voting. The ministers, including the Prime Minister, meet at the Senatus Draconum in Vallis Ignium, while the President's office is in Mare Tranquillum.

The government of Vallis Draconum was previously under the rule of the totalitarian Traditionalist Party from 1945 to 2024. Elections were held, but were considered to be neither free nor fair, with two exceptions (1995 presidential, 1996 parliamentary, both annulled by the government).

Economics

The "marcam argenti" (silver mark), often shortened to simply "argentum", is the national currency of Vallis Draconum. (Insert backing information here.)

-'''Valeris Draconis''' (English:), often referred to as the '''Draconian Republic''', is a country on the Southern [[Ŋafrica]]n coast, north of the [[Rauratoshan Kingdom]].
+'''Vallis Draconum''' (English: {{ipa|[ˈvælɪs dɹæˈkʰʌwnəm]}}, Latin: {{ipa|[ˈwal.lɪs draˈkoːnʊ̃]}}), often referred to as the '''Draconian Republic''' or '''Respūblica Draconum''', is a country in the south of [[Ŋafrica]], north of the [[Rauratoshan Kingdom]] and south of the [[seven territory]].
-<!--
 ==Etymology==
-"Rauratoshan" comes from the [[Rokadong]] words "rauru" (star) and "shan" (path); the intermediate "to" is from Rokadong's genitive particle. Therefore, the full name means "the path of the stars". Owing to the similar word ''selshan'', meaning galaxy, the name might also refer to the Milky Way galaxy, or the {{galaxysys||Galaxy System}}.
+"Vallis Draconum" comes from the [[Latin]] words "vallis" (valley) and "draconum" (dragon), meaning literally "Valley of Dragons." In Latin, it is rendered as "VALLIS DRACÓNVM".
 ==Geography==
-Rauratoshan is primarily comprised of jungle, forest, and savanna biome. Its borders are entirely natural boundaries, traditionally defined as the [[Islands of Ʒimh Gwynh]] (which are not claimed by Rauratoshan, but the intervening sea serves as its boundary), the [[Magaha River]], and the desert of [[Ŋegypt]].
+Much of Vallis Draconum's territory is in the [[Ŋegypt]]ian region. However, the nearby hills are also part of the nation's territory.
-===Ŋafrican Mainland===
+There are four currently-planned settlements in Vallis Draconum: [[Vallis Ignium]] in the desert proper, [[Plāna Diabolōrum]] in the nearby hills, [[Mare Tranquillum]] in an as-yet-undisclosed area, and [[Alcyōn Ēlysiī]] in the cliffs north of Vallis Ignium. Vallis Ignium, like [[Elemental City]], is built on the coast of [[Vanilla Lake]], and the island within is considered part of the city, more specifically the section known as Linea Dipolamatica.
-Much of Rauratoshan's territory is on the mainland of [[Ŋafrica]]. Landmarks of mainland Rauratoshan include [[Chunkerror Cliffs]] and the [[Lilac Forest]]. Four of the eight stops on the [[Rauratoshan Loop]] are on the mainland.
-====Chunkerror Cliffs====
+==Demographics==
-{{main|Chunkerror Cliffs}}
+Vallis Draconum's population consists primarily of dragons and related races. While the various types of dragon are well distributed across Vallis Draconum, parts of the nation have a higher incidence of certain types of dragon, such as sea dragons in [[Mare Tranquillum]], or sand dragons in [[Vallis Ignium]].
-The Chunkerror Cliffs are a landmark near the town of [[Yunrai, Rauratoshan|Yunrai]]. Contrary to their name, they are not the site of an actual chunk error, but instead, the site of a mining operation wherein an entire chunk was leveled down to bedrock.
-===Islands of Rauratoshan===
-Rauratoshanian territory includes six islands: [[Naho Island]], [[Rafi Island]], [[Irisela Island]], [[Murya Island]], [[Island of :worst_anguish:]], and [[Island of :hotspot:]]. The first four of these all are stops on the Rauratoshan Loop as well.
-====Naho Island====
-{{main|Naho Island}}
-Naho Island serves as the core of Rauratoshanian power. It contains [[Remulapola]], which is where [[Original House of Caramella]] and [[Original House of Draconis]] are found. Its most prominent landmark is the [[Rhetaleta Shrine]], a shrine to the deity of the same name which is protected territory.
-====Rafi Island====
-{{main|Rafi Island}}
-Rafi Island is the other major island of Rauratoshan. It hosts the [[Rauratoshan Royal Academy]], a major institute of learning in Rauratoshan, as well as the town of [[Yunrai]].
-====Irisela Island====
-{{main|Irisela Island}}
-Irisela Island is very close to Naho Island, and holds the actual castle of Rauratoshan's royalty, Irisela Castle. However, beyond its purpose of housing nobility and other such people, Irisela Island is not very significant.
-====Murya Island====
-{{main|Murya Island}}
-Murya Island is somewhat close to Irisela Island. It is most well known for its observatory.
-====Island of :hotspot:====
-{{main|Island of :hotspot:}}
-Island of {{hotspot}} is a [[Nguhcordian]]-named island which hosts the gateway to [[Fallenarbor Town]] from the Overworld.
-====Island of :worst_anguish:====
-{{main|Island of :worst_anguish:}}
-Island of {{worst anguish}} is a Nguhcordian-named island which hosts the [[Rauratoshan Vulgar Authority]].
-==Banner and flag==
-The Rauratoshanian banner is the form of the Rauratoshanian flag presented ingame. The white chevron and spiral represent the sun and the land; the sun is said to be bathing the land in light, while the people on the land (the Rauratoshanians) are striving for the sun. The black stripes represents the work of the people, or more loosely, their blood. The blue stripes on either side represent the crown, who supports the people in turn.
-==Demographics and Culture==
-Rauratoshan is made up primarily of [[kanva]]s. {{galaxysys||Astaryuu}} approximates their unique morphology in Nguhcraft through the use of the Customizable Player Models mod. The majority of Rauratoshan's kanvas are of the Akuylian race, which typically have blue or cyan fur patterns, but all kanva races are present in Rauratoshan.
 ===Languages===
-[[Rokadong]] is the only official language of Rauratoshan. Officially speaking, this means that Rokadong language classes are provided in Rauratoshanian schools. However, [[English]] and [[Spanish]] are "state-recognized working languages."
+[[English]] is used as a lingua franca in Vallis Draconum. However, the native language of the region is [[Latin]], and [[Japanese]]-speakers have also been long-term residents, as the "pocket monsters" native to the former Elemental Republic are said to come from [[Aylongam]].{{citation needed}}
-For these working languages, language education is not mandatory, and neither is non-government signage in the target language. However, businesses operating in Rauratoshan are expected to have English and Spanish translation services, or plainly disclose that they do not offer such services, and government bodies (such as the Royal Bank of Rauratoshan) are required to offer services in all such languages.
+Vallis Draconum largely writes in a continuation of Classical Latin, much like [[Regnate Latium]]. However, Latinate residents of Vallis Draconum often speak in a separate dialect known as [[Ferritumulic Latin]]. The Regnate digamma letter, <Ⅎ>, is sometimes seen in place of <V> where it is /w/ in Classical Latin, and is used where a standard romanization of Japanese would use <w>, but other Regnate neographs are unused.
-It is of note that most Rauratoshanian schools, despite the lack of a mandate to do so, do offer education in English and Spanish. These are typically offered as an elective, however.
+==Politics==
+Vallis Draconum, politically, is the result of a fracture in the historic nation of the Elemental Republic. [[Vallis Ignium]], the former capital of the Elemental Republic, is still the administrative center of Vallis Draconum, in spite of its closeness to the border with the [[Rauratoshan Kingdom]].
-===Religion===
-{{main|Yukacan}}
-[[Yukacan]] is by far the most popular religion of Rauratoshan. It is a polytheistic religion with many sub-groups based on the deities the given community deems to be important. Some of these deities are from other Nguhcraftian religions, such as [[Ætérnalism|Ætérnal]] (often referred to as {{rkdg|}} ''Ngod'') and Charlotte ({{rkdg|}} ''Cárlota''). It is believed that Ætérnalism reached Rauratoshan through [[Miŋejácár]].
-Rauratoshan's royal lineage is said to be closely linked to the theology of Yukacan. It is said that the [[Deities of Yukacan|leader of the pantheon]] gave the first king of Rauratoshan the royal regalia of Rauratoshan. Therefore, Yukacan is the ''de facto'' official religion of Rauratoshan. Yukacan is treated rather loosely by official religion standards. Citizenship does not require any Yukacan rituals, for example. However, freedom of religion is not currently guaranteed in Rauratoshan.
-==Politics==
 ===Governance===
-{{Main article|Politics of Rauratoshan}}
+{{Main article|Politics of Vallis Draconum}}
+Vallis Draconum is nominally a semi-presidental republic, with the President and Prime Minister both sharing substantial executive power. The Prime Minister is appointed by the President, and the Prime Minister and their cabinet are exclusively accountable to parliament of Vallis Draconum. The President is elected every 5 years, through a two-round system, while the parliament is elected every 4 years, with first-past-the-post voting. The ministers, including the Prime Minister, meet at the Senatus Draconum in Vallis Ignium, while the President's office is in Mare Tranquillum.
-At the time of the Rauratoshanian incursion, Rauratoshan was an absolute monarchy, though its monarch at the time died in the process, and no heirs were transferred either, so a new dynasty was required. While the official English translation for the ruling monarch is "[[Quing]] Regent", Rokadong documentation uses the gendered terms "king regent" and "queen regent" in addition to "quing regent".
-The member of the royal family with any "regent" title has final say over political decisions, though generally the regent's spouse and anyone else the regent allows to do so is also allowed to make political decisions. In general, it is assumed that the monarch whose parent was regent of Rauratoshan before them will be regent of Rauratoshan, unless they give this power to their spouse.
-In February 2025, Quing Regent {{galaxysys|Nozomi}} converted Rauratoshan into a constitutional monarchy. Some monarchy-loyalists have stated that this is madness, and that the mayor of [[Elemental City]] has put the queen up to this. Nevertheless, [[Preservation Party of Rauratoshan|they made a party anyway]].
-===Districts===
-Rauratoshan is formally divided into five districts: Irisela Province, Rafi Province, Rekalekatana Province, Razokairi Province, and Elemental District.
-Each district is further divided into counties. For Irisela Province, the counties fall entirely on coastal lines, with Irisela County, Naho County, and Murya County. For Rafi Province, the counties fall on dimensional lines, with Fallenarbor City being considered a county of Rafi Province. Rekalekatana Province is divided into Lígatal County, Azeria County, and Gilci County.
-The four districts that use the name "province" are all under direct control of the Rauratoshanian crown, while Elemental District is semi-autonomous, and is mostly free to make its own decisions as long as they pay a portion of their taxes to the Rauratoshanian Crown.
-===Economy===
-{{main|Musan}}
-Rauratoshan's major economic pulls currently are of the farming variety. For example, the sculk farm in [[Azeria]] and the tree farm in [[Elemental City]] are significant. However, there is an in-progress initiative, the so-called "Star-Path Minigames", to bring more service-based economic progress to Rauratoshan. The first building constructed for this initiative is the work-in-progress Jungle Temple Run in [[Remulapola]].
-The kingdom uses a currency referred to as "gundarimusan" ({{script|script=rkdg|t=}}, literally "crown marks"), or just "musan" ({{script|script=rkdg|t=}}, literally "marks"). The symbol used for musan ingame is "₻", though the symbol preferred is a Rokadong letter ''má'' ({{script|script=rkdg|t=}}) with two horizontal lines through it. The currency is backed primarily by raw iron, but distributed with paper; current regulation by the Rauratoshan Office of the Treasury is that RA$1 is equal to 4 raw iron. Musan can also be subdivided into 3 firos ({{script|script=rkdg|t=}}, "shilling"), each worth 12 payang ({{script|script=rkdg|t=}}, "penny"); that is, there are 36 (or 100 in seximal) payang to a musan.
+The government of Vallis Draconum was previously under the rule of the totalitarian [[Traditionalist Party (Vallis Draconum)|Traditionalist Party]] from 1945 to 2024. Elections were held, but were considered to be neither free nor fair, with two exceptions (1995 presidential, 1996 parliamentary, both annulled by the government).
-The [[Royal Bank of Rauratoshan]] in [[Azeria, Rauratoshan|Azeria]] manages the coffers of the Rauratoshan Kingdom, as well as conversions from diamond, raw gold, and raw iron into musan, and vice versa.
+===Economics===
+The "marcam argenti" (silver mark), often shortened to simply "argentum", is the national currency of Vallis Draconum. (Insert backing information here.)
