Juya Gwaña [ˈd͡ʒuja ˈgwaɲa] is the private territory of Suqi, and not a country[1]. Officially, it shall be recognized as merely a location, but one with the same protections as a country (no stealing, no construction, etc. unless allowed). Railroads into or through any of the territory of Juya Gwaña are not permitted, including a nether portal connected to rails in the nether.

Locations

Juya Gwaña is happily the host of two lesbian bees (lesbees) in a boat. (Image courtesy of Fin)

The largest island hosts a portion of Suqi's chests, pets, a nether portal, and a handful of farms. Near the island is their abandoned underwater base and an drained ocean monument known as Le Château Burgher. Le Château was drained shortly after the creation of Season 2 by Suqi and JANVS to create a large villager hub for the server in its early days. However, both of them stopped playing for two years. After Suqi's return, it was decided that a villager hub was unnecessary as major villager hubs already existed in Enkavak and the then-recently-placed City of Cuba.

Juya Gwaña plans to have islands or extensions to the main island dedicated for every farmable resource Suqi intends to use. The most recent additions have been nylium islands for growing warped and crimson stem.

The twin islands on the northwest of the territory have no development themselves, but have a nearby elevator to an amethyst geode connected to 2 others.

Etymology

When Juya Gwaña was being built in early Season 2, it had no name and would only be referred to as Suqi's (mushroom) (island) base. It had once been labeled Le Château Burgher by Ætérnal mistaking the base for its ocean monument on one of the official maps.

Only after returning to Nguhcraft did Suqi end up giving it the name Juya Gwaña, meaning "ocean cluster" in Iskel. The "cluster" being referenced here is specifically used for clusters of celestial bodies like asteroids, stars, or galaxies. This name is technically ungrammatical in Iskel because juya (cluster) and gwaña (ocean) are both nouns, and putting nouns together only puts them in a list instead of showing their relationship.

Le Château Burgher [lə ʃɑˈto ˈbɜːgɜː] is named after the restaurant that the 1990s sitcom Chef! takes place in called "Le Château Anglais". Burgher is also another way of saying villager, indicating it would host villagers.
