Phalagon

Phalagon, also known as the People's Republic of Phalagon, is a country located in the north-west of Artopa, in the Avaniscan Ocean. Phalagon is a socialist republic; but unlike some states, it didn't fall into a dictatorship and stayed democratic. The official religion is the Vathoprian Church of Josephianism, with its head being Bishop Marcoaurelix IV. The main language is Phalagonish, but the dialect spoken in the Meinn archipelago is starting to become its own language.



Geography and climate

Phalagon is made up of three islands: Phalagon, the largest, Knyig, and Casgor, both located in the Meinn Archipelago.. The big island has the capital Vinkermer and the Thulian mountian range in the middle, with the highest peak being Mt.Panoramix (1530 meters above sea level). The landscape is famous for its huge oak, birch and pine woods. The climate of Phalagon is Temperate Oceanic (Cfb) in the south of the main island and on the west of Kynig, Cool-summer continental (Dfb) in some regions in the north and Temperate Subarctic (Csc) on the mountains.



History

The Phalagonish tribes reached Phalagon by sailing there from the south around the year 1900 BJ (Before Joseph). When they came there, Chief Assurancentaurix The Great founded the Chiefdom of Phalagon; the capital was Carkin back then. Around the year 90 AJ (after Joseph), Saint Aeron converted the Chiefdom to Josephianism, and Phalagon made its own church of it. Sadly, after the assassination of the chief Kalamano X in the year 721 AJ, the country split into different clans: this was the Warring Towns period. Years later, socialist and nationalist ideas spread across all the divided clans. Thanks to this ideas, in the year 1850 AJ the various different clans decided to do peace and sign the treaty of Vinkermer. With this treaty, Phalagon was united once again.
