Hokqalonde, Myžariky

Myžariky (Syzkyn: Мыжариқы [ˈmɘʒɐˌrikʰʲə] 'Central Realm') is the largest country in Nguhcraft by land area. It is located in the very center of the Nguhcraft, surrounding the spawn area and Hokqalonde. It is home to the repopulated village of Liztarp, the ruins of Nerven and the first Ætérnal Shrine.

History

Pre-Raid

The oldest extant settlement currently within Myžarikan territory is Hokqalonde, today in the southwest of the Svez of Bažahažyn. It was founded by conlanger and former Nguhcord user EnigmaticLucas in March of 2022. The name is thought to come from his Oikan language, with the approximate meaning of "land of holes" alluding to the presence of several nearby caves. A long road was constructed from Hokqalonde to the village on the opposite side of the highlands, now known as Liztarp. Eventually, Liztarp was depopulated, though the timing and nature of this are not clear.

Marci (a former mod not to be confused with Marcy I) built a house upon a small, elevated island that is now part of the Svez of Quvaven.

Later in 2022, rnifnuf settled on a small archipelago at the southern end of the Great Central Bay, establishing the base of Nerven. She built a modest but fully-featured house on the island, as well as an underground mob grinder, a tower for growing crops, a small livestock pen, and a joint melon-pumpkin farm on the western edge of the island. A simple bridge was built to connect the main island to one of the smaller islets, where Jungle trees were grown and harvested.

As Nerven developed, rnifnuf primarily explored the then-unclaimed islands of Qolven (formerly called Tritreven) and Ğylven. However, virtually no development or terraforming happened on either island apart from placing torches in the natural formations of Vesqolyn and Jatnysqun.

Sometime in 2023, hummus built a small house on the southern shore of Quvaven. Later that year, Marcy I built a small base beneath the highlands of Bažahažyn and a bridge connecting it with her subsequent base on Marcyland. She would also construct a chicken pen and the very first Ætérnal Shrine near the entrance to the old base.

Nerven was destroyed during The Raid on 13 November 2023. Due to its proximity to Spawn, unsecured storage, and one of the perpetrators mentioning how they found "all this free shit" within two minutes of the raiders logging on, it is likely that Nerven was the first target and they stole several tools in order to wreak havoc elsewhere. Today, all that remains of the base is half of the melon/pumpkin farm, the porch and roof of rnifnuf's house, the outer shell of the crop tower, the bridge, and the underground lava farm. The bridge between Marcy's bases was destroyed, as was the house in southern Quvaven. The covered bridge in the lowlands of Hokqalonde was griefed, but neither the path nor the copper house were destroyed, and it is not clear if Liztarp was affected.

Formation of Myžariky

rnifnuf lost everything that was not in her inventory during The Raid. Following the destruction of the base, she saw no reason to rebuild on Nerven and looked elsewhere to rebuild. Eventually, she built a simple house on the eastern coast of Ğylven facing the Great Central Bay as a temporary base pending the construction of a larger base elsewhere. The house was never finished due to rnifnuf's indecision about what roof it should have, but a crop garden and nearby livestock pens have been added.

Seeing the formation of a new post-Raid order, rnifnuf proclaimed Myžariky on 2 February 2024 with a territory comprising of five Svez and three Marxar directly south of the Central Sea. Despite being centered on the Spawn region, she deliberately avoided annexing it in the interest of keeping it neutral, but later changed her mind in order to have a contiguous mainland between Bažahažyn and Syzdžunglamarx. Soon after, Myžariky was admitted to the United Ŋations.

The Esperanto Flag Incident

On 20 February 2024, ex-Nguhcrafter Rakso built an Esperanto flag out of Terracotta on the plateau of Bažahažyn without approval from rnifnuf, much to the horror of the largely anti-Esperanto userbase of Nguhcord. Annwan, First Director of Ímersial, responded by building a cross over it out of orange Wool, prompting a threat of IP theft and personal visitation by Rakso.

rnifnuf herself did not notice the flag until the morning of 23 February, jokingly resolving to put Rakso through "bureaucratic hell" in order to preserve it. Instead, Annwan destroyed the flag with rnifnuf's blessing, placing the contents in a chest where it once stood. Within 24 hours, however, Rakso returned, rebuilt the flag, and directed threats of IP theft and physical violence towards rnifnuf. In the interest of compromise between the existence of the flag and respect for Myžarikan territorial integrity, rnifnuf rebuilt the flag in an unclaimed patch of desert about 2500 blocks east-southeast of Spawn. In light of repeated threats and antisocial behavior, Rakso was permanently banned from both Nguhcord and Nguhcraft.

On 17 March, the flag was destroyed without opposition from rnifnuf, and a small commemorative monument was put in its place.

Flag and Banner

Flag of Myžariky in a 1:2 proportion

The banner is defined as follows: "Party per pall azure, vert and gold, a bezant argent."

The yellow and green halves of the banner represent the distinct halves of the country. Specifically, the yellow represents the western half and mineral wealth, while the green section represents the eastern half and agricultural wealth. The azure triangle represents the Great Central Bay between the halves and the maritime commerce to which Myžariky is well-suited. The white roundel in the center represents the Spawn Island, Myžariky's central location, peace, optimism, and neutrality.

The flag is of the same design and symbolism but horizontally extended to have a proportion of 1:2.

Administrative Divisions

There are two categories of top-level administrative divisions in Myžariky: the svezy (Syzkyn: свезы [ˈsʷɛzə], from Old Norse svæði) and the marx (Syzkyn: марх [mɑrχ], from Old Norse mǫrk). In the Syzkyn language, svezy does not have a plural form, while the plural of marx is marxar (Syzkyn: мархар [ˈmɑrχɐr]).

Svezy

Concentrated in the western half of the country are the svezy, analogous to Canadian provinces or Russian oblasts.

Marxar

The marxar in the eastern half of the country are a collection of three large but unexplored and undeveloped territories. They can be compared in scope and function to the Canadian territories or Russian krais. They are covered almost entirely in dense jungle.
