Saharia

Saharia is an island in northwestern Archipelagia that has been part of a number of ŋations, often based around the island. Having no less than 7 names across 5 governments over less than a year, it is one of the most politically turbulent areas in Nguhcraft.

This page is a repository of information related to the numerous states that have occupied the island. Due to the amount of changes, codes are separated out into a chart below, and flags into a gallery. Infoboxes here list data that is harder to display in the chart, and only for data that changed enough to justify including in a chart for all ŋations. Much of this data comes from past versions of other wiki pages and was deleted on more recent versions of those pages. Infoboxes for states listed without separate infoboxes on this page can be found on those pages' current versions.

Geography

Location of Saharia, courtesy of Stemon

The island lies in northwestern Archipelagia near Ŋafrica, and is served by the Klakkenbuutsh line. The Crystal line goes over the island but does not stop.

History

Saharia was originally founded on May 29th by Lux Moniridia, as the last in a series of Amujan states across southern Thasusa and Land of Chaos. It lasted under 10 hours before dissolving, as Lux was banned from the discord server.

The stated reason for forming Saharia was as follows: "Its de-facto Prime Minister Lux Moniridia founded the ŋation after experiencing a vision in which she saw a shape that she later described as the "Amujan Cycle" with the various Amujological iterations of Amuj morphing from one to the next, until the shape became that of Saharia and stayed as such. Soon after experiencing the vision, Lux discussed it with her friend Stemon Worshere, who told her that "I feel like any Amujan state have a lot of potentials.", which assured Lux to find the envisioned territory and settle it. This discussion is the source of the Saharian motto "Amuj forever". "

On June 1 2025, it was annexed by Smalland, which promptly renamed itself to The Golden Isles, and then on July 15 2025 to The Iron Empire.

On July 22, The Iron Empire was annexed by Sq's Territories, and the territory around Saharia was renamed Nieuw Antwerpen. Saharia became the capital and largest island of Nieuw Antwerpen.

On October 20 2025 the territory of Nieuw Antwerpen was turned over to Kiltmo.

Since January 7th 2026 it has been managed as Doggerland, a condominium between Adnar, Hárǝsi, Coldba, and Kaipa.
