Wänade is a nation situated in the Far eastern corner of the Ngorld, it is east of Enkavak and has one Cenrail station, Bä Daras. The nation is founded and operated by its High Priestess, Nahia.

Pre-History

Before becoming HP, a young widow named nah1a would leave her home in the far off realm of Karrabia (Kawäbade) and sail across time and space to the world of nguh, in search of a new life of peaceful axe-noodling.

Upon arrival in this new world, nah1a was quickly welcomed in by the locals. Within 2 days of arriving she had been shown to the land which would become Wänade by the leader of T’anishlebs, Lambdam.

Here, she would live out her days fishing, and grew a fierce attachment to her newfound home.

Divine Intervention

Upon her first voyage to the kuayo gulf (then just “the gulf”) the voice of the ocean goddess boomed into nah1a’s head. She told her she was being taken to a land to call hers and hers alone, as a reward for the heartache of her mourning, and that she should rule this land, acting as the ocean goddess’s hand-out-of-water.

As this story would suggest, the high priestess holds ultimate autocratic authority in domestic Wänade affairs, and “towards tomorrow, always will.”

History

Founded mid-April of 2025, Wänade essentially popped up overnight. It was founded within 1 week of its founder’s introduction to the ŋorld. As of today (4/22/25), the nation has engaged in exactly 1 official foreign affair outside its induction into the UEng, that being the dual citizenship of a Ranadian named Nay Ya with the nation of T’anshilebs. Several proposals for diplomatic relations via embassy construction have been proposed to ngations including, but not limited to, Xarslasja, and The Hole. Tho Wänade has also unofficially contributed to the construction of the eastern wing of the corner line, as well as the Cenrail station around the junction underneath Citadel Island.

Banner

At *the meeting when the ŋation was inducted, UEng member, Xhesas, was quoted stating, “the banner is a reason to vote yes;” referencing the ŋation’s Kawäba-weave based banner. The banner is a field of light blue with alternating layers of white and light blue stripes and brick-patterns, topped with a white circle emblem. It is meant to represent the early morning sun viewed from below the surface of the Kuayo Gulf, and later any of the many rivers and estuaries located inland.

Military

Wänade’s elites will often pompously boast about the combined might of their “5-million-strong” infantry. This is usually met with calls of “horseshit,” as 4,999,999 of those troops are, in fact, trees. This is not to say that those troops are useless in battle however, as all Wänade trees have been trained in hand to hand combat (prioritizing guerrilla defense specialization) as part of their standard high school curriculums.
