Wánade [ˈɹa:naðɛ] (English: the Morninglands) is a nation situated in the far east of the ngorld, it is east of Enkavak and has one Cenrail station (Bá Daraz), as well as two FERRA stations (Yázka, Ola Damok). The nation is founded and operated by its High Priestess, Nahia.
Pre-History
Before becoming Hight Priestess of the Sisterhood of Gof, a young widow named nah1a would leave her home in the far off realm of Karrabia (Kawábade) 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 Wánade affairs, and “towards tomorrow, always will.”
History
Founded mid-April of 2025, Wánade essentially popped up overnight. It was founded within 1 week of its founder’s introduction to the ŋorld. The ngation has engaged in exactly 1 official foreign affair outside its induction into the UEng, that being the dual citizenship of a Raani 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. It has also unofficially contributed to the construction of the northern wing of the corner line, and the Cenrail station around the junction underneath Citadel Island, as well as being a founding member of the Far East Rail and Road Association.
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 Karrabian-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.
Culture
Peoples' Rights
Wänade proudly protects all citizens' rights to freedom, life, and pursuit of happiness. Whether they be villager, tree, or wild dog, all are welcome to live without interference in Wänade.
Military
Wánade’s elites will often pompously boast about the combined might of their “5-million-strong” infantry. This is usually met with calls of "amat" or “horseshit,” as 99.99% of those troops are, in fact, trees. This is not to say that those troops are useless in battle however, as all Wánade trees have been trained in hand to hand combat (prioritizing guerrilla defense specialization) as part of their standard high school curriculums.
Drug Trade
Wánade, like its mother state of Kawábade, is home to a variety of legal narcotics enjoyed (and sometimes abused) recreationally by many locals. Examples include various suspicious stews, cannabis (ferns), and the occasional pufferfish from the warmer seas west.
