Kowenian states

OORP
Hey y'all, I just wanted to make this post again to explain the confusing state that is Kowen (what is commonly referred to as the Kowenian states.)

In a nutshell: A large nation that has been divided by the political and religious views of it's citizens, so much so that the nation of Kowen often fractures into multiple states (take a look at China's history.)

Really just this video on loop, that's Kowen's history:

In a longer answer: Kowen is (or was) one of the largest nations in Kalrania population wise (over 14.6 billion, combining the population of the four main states) that has gone through a history of unification and seperation of violent wars that usually followed by brutal surpressions of the ruling regime, despite it's violent history Kowen had stayed out of the international spotlight intentionally for most of it's existence, leading the nation to be severely lacking behind on the technology curve of most of the international community. Kowen's longest and bloodiest civil war (deemed 'The Great Kowenian Civil War' by the Kowenians) is what brought Kowen in the international community, finally reaching out for trade and diplomatic reasons. Although the nation is split, many are determined to reunify the country under their own flag, leading to pretty much non-stop conflict in Kowen eventually climaxing when larger states clashed for dominance in the region. This division among the Kowenian people has been exploited by some foreigners, while others seek to unify the country under a friendly ideology or through peaceful means. Will they ever be succesful? Who knows.

Accounts:
Kowenian states
The placeholder for the map for the nation of Kowen, contains all of the following accounts listed below.
North kowen
Originally part of the Kowenian Commune, a communist state that controlled the Northeastern section of Kowen, North Kowen had been divided and given to Archron empire who then decided to install a democratic regime in the area.
East kowen
Annexed by South kowen in the war that ended with the demise of the Kowenian Commune.
South kowen
An authoritarian, nationalist (not to be confused with fascist) dictatorship that arose from a coup d'état, South Kowen was invaded by the Kowenian Commune in an attempt to unify the two states but actually went on the offensive and emerged as the victor of the conflict due to support from Whicistaion and Dwarf land4, in return for the aid South Kowen willingly became a protectorate of Whicistaion.
West kowen
Originally a fascist dictatorship, West Kowen had suprised everyone when it peacefully dissolved into a democratic republic. The democratic republic was short lived though, with fanatics of both sides of the political spectrum rising up in the country and beginning to seize territory for their side, currently bringing it into a civil war.
Central state of kowen
An absolute monarchist state with some of the most politically apathetic citizens of Kowen, Central Kowen was created by forces of Rumanian States with the exiled South Kowenian monarch (see South Kowen description) after the coup. Central State of Kowen remains a protectorate of Rumania, and interacts very little with it's neighboring Kowenian States.
Nakatoro
A puppet city-state located on the coast that was given to Schwypia for their involvement in the war in Kowen that saw the demise of the Kowenian Commune. Currently, Nakatoro has undergone a coup d'état by communists from the Kowenian Commune, Schwypian forces are expected to arrive in Nakatoro to deal with the insurrectionists soon.
Incheon city
A Kowenian state on the smaller side, given to Woleve Atraland for their actions in the war that saw the demise of the Kowenian Commune. A bunch of citizens of Incheon however call for the establishment of a monarchial state, to replace the current colony status of Woleve Atralanda, which is overseen by a Atralandian governor.

If you have any more questions or need more clarity, contact me on discord or mention Kowenian states on the RMB and I'll see it sooner or later.

P.S. There are false accounts going around claiming to be mine, but the only official ones have been listed above. If it is not one of the listed accounts above, then it is not official RP wise.

Thank you for your time to read this post,

Regards,

Kowen

Antekuna, Dwarf land4, and Kroraina
