The Kingdom of Kyaw Cen /kjaʊ-, kjɒˈsɛn/ (Kyawcenni: Kyawcen /ˈkjaʊ̯.tsɛn/), often shortened to KKC or colloquially Kyaw Cen, is a bicontinental country east of the Great Sea and west of Imerchal and Myžariky comprising Shingtsun, the Republic of Kyaw Cen and Marcyland. It is the oldest continuously existing ŋation founded in Nguhcraft and the only one whose borders were drawn in 2023.
Etymology
The Kingdom of Kyaw Cen was named after the city of Kyaw Cen (today Parkow), which served as the first capital of the kingdom. Kyaw Cen comes from Kyawcenni Kyawcen meaning "sand island". This is because the island the capital city has been built on consisted almost entirely out of sand. Due to being covered by a stone brick foundation, and later being greenified, the sand foundation of the city is now barely visible.
Geography
Marcyland
Marcyland is mostly covered in a dense jungle, which consists mainly of bamboo. The easternmost part, near Port Marcy, is less densely forested.
Kyaw Cen
The Isles of Silly, officially administered as the Republic of Kyaw Cen, consist of several islands with their own unique geography. The uninhabited North Island is covered in jungle, Kyaw Cen Island is mainly covered by the city of Parkow, Sheep Island is mainly plains, and the smaller islands to the west are entirely covered in sand.
Shingtsun
Shingtsun, as the largest republic of the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen, has the most varied geography. The western coast around Yija is a savanna biome, which becomes a more temperate plains region known as Shingtin. The eastern half of Shingtsun is covered in deciduous forests, with the terrain being flat in the centre of the republic (where Xêgwar is located) and more mountainous near the eastern border, rising to y=145 at the peak of Mount Xoran. The far east of the republic, past these hills, is covered in coniferous forest. Woclêw is the only settlement in this area.
History
Settlement of Marcyland
The first settlement in the modern-day Kingdom of Kyaw Cen began sometime in late October or early November 2023, when the later founder of Kyaw Cen, Marcy Sheikah, migrated from their old home in Bažahažyn to Marcyland, hoping to found a first settlement on the archipelago.[3]
In response to the destruction of Marcyland in The Raid on 13 November 2023, a migration to the Isles of Silly and the planning of the first ever city on the islands began.
Early Kyaw Cen
On 28 December 2023, the first borders of a Kyawcenni realm were drawn[4], marking the establishment of the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen. On the first political map drawn by Quing Marcy on 02 January 2024, the border of Shingtsun (at that time known as Riverland) has been defined more precisely, showing Esasne and Byuqi as a part of its territory, which has gradually been expanding eastward the months after.
It was a founding member of the United Ŋations on 02 February 2024. The current ambassador of Kyaw Cen to the UŊ is Čęjen Hęstauy Dôwhôwm.
On 04 May of that year, the eastern border of Shingtsun was moved to include almost all of Transtsaia, stretching all the way to modern-day Sofao Tâsi. Also on that day an agreement with Imerchal about the establishment of Vanstèrel, a condominium between it and Shingtsun, has been signed.
Contemporary Kingdom
On 22 May, the Constitution of the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen has been signed and ratified by the Quing, the Prime Minister and the governors of the three republics. This day was declared a ŋational holiday.
On 01 July, the kingdom established Ŋibraltar as a condominium with Xarslasja. The city on the peninsula began construction just a few days after.
On 24 July, an agreement with the newly founded Peasants' Republic of Oberia was made about the annexation of the West Showhen Islands by both countries as a condominium. Because of that, the kingdom transferred Grass Island from Marcyland to a new Territory of the Showhen Islands, which now partially administers the condominium.
The country was a participant of the Scramble for Murbetia on 22 August 2024 following its dissolution. On that day, it has established the Territory of Kyawcenni Pua close to the former Murbetian subdivision of Scarecrow Harbour, now bordering Ymécopaltarrévein to the south, Coldba (Cuba) to the West and Amuj to the East.
Following the Amujxplosion on 08 October 2024, the kingdom started occupying the Thasusan part of North Amuj and Suspicion Island for peace in the region. On 4:06pm local time, Kyawcenni forces have captured Drebzha, hoisted the Kyawcenni flag and established the Mandate of Amuj, which was dissolved a month later on 02 November.

Foreign Relations
The Kingdom of Kyaw Cen has a good relationships with all of its neighbors, including Hentzo, Imerchal and Myžariky. It has especially close ties to the countries Enkavak and Xarslasja, which have established mutual embassies with the kingdom.
Enkavak
Enkavak is usually considered one of the most important trading partners, as it is a popular travel destination and many Kyawcennis like to go shopping in Alnangaemak.
Hentzo
On 3 March 2024, a street in Yija was named Hentzo Avenue due to its close proximity to Hentzo and to honor their diplomatic ties.
When Pirate Lord Rutinde I died on 18 July 2024, Quing Marcy I expressed her condolences. They are known to have visited the mausoleum on the day it has finished construction.
Imerchal
As a neighbor of the kingdom and one of the oldest ŋations on Nguhcraft, the Kyawcenni government considers the Free City of Imerchal one of its closest partners. According to a survey held in August 2024, 86% of Kyawcennis consider Imerchal an important diplomatic partner and a friendly ŋation. The results of the survey also showed that those who have answered the opposite are more likely to vote for the QP. The approval rate of Imerchal is the highest among people living in the Republic of Kyaw Cen.
The two countries also share control over the Vanstérelle territory.
Myžariky
The majority of Kyawcennis think that Myžariky is an important ŋation in Kyawcenni history. This is likely because Quing Marcy I once lived in Bažahažyn and it's the country Spawn is in. For that reason, some people (usually QP voters), call for an annexation of the western part of Myžariky. The current government though accepts the current borders of the country and wants to seek closer ties. There are also foot and rail bridges on the border between the two ŋations at Port Marcy, Marcyland.
Oberia
Despite the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen's vision of colonizing the area of modern-day Oberia pior to its establishment, the relations between the two countries are generally seen as friendly, especially because of their joint control of the West Showhen Islands.
Pua
The kingdom was originally neutral towards the conflict in Pua, due to the current Kyawcenni government not knowing what the conflict is even about at all. But on 26 August 2024, East Pua has described the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen as “a potentially concerning agent of imperialism”[5], which Prime Minister Marcy Sheikah rejected, describing the claims as “ridiculous” and saying that “The Kingdom of Kyaw Cen is not and never will be an imperialist state”.
On 30 August, East Pua has supplied Kyawcenni Pua with sand and sandstone for buildings. This has pleased its leader, who even suggested founding an Economic Union similar to the TEU in the future.
Xarslasja
The first embassy established in Xarslasja is one to the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen in Yuɱa. On 12 August 2024, the Bezuvate has also established a mutual embassy in Yija.
On 1 July 2024, the two countries have reached an agreement over the shared control of Ŋibraltar.
Armed forces
Main article: OWO
The armed forces of the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen are the Army of the White Sun.
Economy
Since the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen doesn't really have any unique exports, interŋational trade with the country is practically null. Therefore, most items that can be easily generated by an existing farm are free. Nevertheless, there are some stores and restaurants in Parkow and Yija that sell food and banners for Slabs.
Demographics
Languages
The Kingdom of Kyaw Cen has three official languages: English, German and its national language Kyawcenni. The latter is spoken by the majority of the people as their first language, while English is usually used as a language for interŋational communication. German is a traditional language that is sometimes used during festivals. It might have been brought to the country by trade with Enkavak, but the details are unknown.
According to a census held in September 2024, about 86% of the population is fluent in English. The number is lowest in the rural areas of Shingtsun like Esasne and Woclêw.
Religion
According to a census held in September 2024, 57% of the country is Ætérnalist, 5% Aboist and 38% Atheist.
Culture
Despite the federal subjects of the kingdom all having different cultures and ŋational identities, the three constituent republics are being united by language and religion.
Architecture
Every federal subject or even city has their own style of architecture, with most cities not being a mix of different looking buildings, but instead having strict building regulations to make their city have a unique style, which makes special buildings which don't apply to those regulations like the Palace of the Ŋations stand out.
Kyawcenni Sun
The Kyawcenni Sun is a ŋational Kyawcenni symbol used in a lot of Kyawcenni art or architecture, including the flag. It depicts the sun with eight rays and is usually colored white. The armed forces of Kyaw Cen, the Army of the White Sun, was named after it.
Cuisine
There are a lot of soup stores in the kingdom selling Kyawcenni and Marcian Soup (sometimes also called Stew) made of mushrooms and flowers. Those are often considered overpriced, but Kyawcennis will usually tell you that you can often bribe the seller with bones or wheat to get them for free.
Music
Yijan Broadcasting is a company and public building in Yija where people can listen to a selection of music discs for free.
The Kingdom of Kyaw Cen is participating in the Nguhrovision Song Contest under the name Kyaw Cen.
Sports
The kingdom will likely participate in the Nguhlympics. A multi-purpose arena is currently being constructed in Parkow.
