The State of Hykko(ㄌㅇㅕ^ㄔㄐ) is a nation located in East Asia and covers a land area of 320,750 Hityu² and is made up of Hykko Uyuhai (韓軍国家陸) or home land. Hykko is divided up into divided into 38 Prefectures (Syeokyo). The nation contains a population of around 350 million citizens. Demographic wise, 98% are ethically Hykkogwe with the other 2% foreign ethnicity. Historically, the national, traditional, and ethic religion of Hykko is Naiseon which focuses primarily with nature with public shrines in the country. Hykko is a unitary ultra nationalist parliamentary autocracy with it's Emperor, Iwehi Koing acting as a spiritual and national leader. With it's GDP at 4.872 trillion Rai, it is considered a "Modernized Asian Country" with a modern and westernized military. The nation is relatively isolationist but will if needed will exert it's military for natural resources.

[b][size=150]Etymology[/size][/b] [hr]

The name "Hykko" (ㄌㅇㅕ^ㄔㄐ) is a endonym that was used to describe the nation by Emperor Guiyu in 9 B.C.E was first recorded in the 7th Century A.D. with the "Woi Samue"where it documented a diplomatic mission to the Han Dynasty. Hykko translates to "Sun People" which refers to the sun that rises in the general direction the nation of Hykko. Prior to Hykko, the area was called (奥山) "Shiryeofu" based on ancient inscriptions by the "Gou" people. It is currently unknown where the ancient name originated nor what it means.

Alternatively, names such as "Yo"(族); tribe, or "Shiryeofu" (奥山) which roughly means mountain are used but are very uncommon.

Formally, Hykko's full title is "Hykko Daeu Hanmin" which translates to "Great Empire of Hykko".

[b][size=150]History[/size][/b] [hr]

A Paleolithic culture around 30,000 B.C.E. was the first instance of habitation. The First Hykkogwa people were the first group to inhabit the Hykko Peninsula and began the Gou Period. They were a Mesolithic to Neolithic semi-sedentary hunter-gatherer culture characterized by pit dwelling and rudimentary agriculture society. During the Gou Period around 470 C.E., clay pottery and the introduction of wet-rice farming greatly enabled the ability to expand and settle more permanently. Shortly after contact with China was established, ideas such as metallurgy was introduced to Hykko.

The Taeyu Period (500 C.E.-730 C.E.) saw the introduction of Chinese innovations and Buddhism and it's ideals to Hykko. With the wide acceptance of Buddhism ideals from the Noble Class, many Gureoyo temples and shrines were constructed with Buddhist ideals. In 625 C.E., the Yiye Reform was enacted, reforming and nationalizing all land and distributing it to cultivators and to create a system for taxation among other things. The aim was to centralize and strengthen the imperial government. The reform also introduced the governmental exam. Bureaucratic systems was installed in the court. and the capital city, Jiuoya was greatly expanded and grew in power.

The Poguhang Period (735 C.E.-795 C.E.) is a the period noted by the rise in feudalism as the nation expanded. To govern more effectively, Emperor Ryuhae would create a position that would govern the provenience farther away from the capital city of Tanseon. Emperor Ryuhae would personally appoint the governors to their given provenience. These governors would govern on behalf of the Emperor and the Royal Court and spread Hykkogwa Culture. These governers or Gwenusik were given armies of what became known as Hwakang to fight rebellions and wars. and when they returned he gave the title Shogun to the leader of the army, so they would not take him over as emperor. This began a new form of control in Japan, where the leaders of different armies controlled smaller pieces of land, rather than one emperor controlling everything--this is usually called Feudal control (Feudalism). Under the early courts, when military conscription had been centrally controlled, military affairs had been taken out of the hands of the provincial aristocracy. But as the system broke down after 792, local power holders again became the primary source of military strength. The re-establishment of an efficient military system was made gradually through a process of trial-and-error. At that time the imperial court did not possess an army but rather relied on an organization of professional warriors composed mainly of oryoshi, which were appointed to an individual province and tsuibushi, which were appointed over imperial circuits or for specific tasks. This gave rise to the Japanese military class. Nonetheless, final authority rested with the imperial court.

During the Greater Keri Period (800 C.E.-1450 C.E.) was a cultural golden age for Hykko. During this age was the isolationist age in which no person could enter nor leave the kingdom. During the Keri Period (800 C.E.-1030 C.E.), many cultural innovations and military reformation took place. Then during the reign of Emperor Rite, the Song Dynasty attacked with the pretense of making Hykko "tribute state" in 1000 C.E.. During the Song-Hykko war, the need to modernize became apparent to the imperial court. A white peace was signed on 1050 C.E. after unsustainable losses on the Song army. After the the war, the imperial court greatly modernized its weapon but still embraced the isolationist policy and the public reception of China greatly diminished. During the Later Keri Period (1030 C.E.- 1450 C.E.) a period of militarism appeared due to the apparent dangers surrounding the kingdom. This notion would be proven right as the inevitable mongol invasion during 1231 C.E.. The modernization of the army would pay off as the Hykko Kingdom could hold off the constant mongol invasion. Although, at the cost of population. After the decline of Yuan power as the Hykko Kingdom almost became a vassal through sporadic wars, Hykko pushed towards the Yellow River under Commander Yikeo. With the Yuan-Hykko war that saw the borders of the Hykko kingdom drawn to the Yellow River and stopped by the west by the Gobi Desert. It would take centuries for the population to recover to its former numbers.

The Uxi Period (1450 C.E.-1790 C.E.) was the most peaceful period in the history of Hykko. During this period, the first contact with Europeans traders took place with Portuguese traders during 1571 C.E.. During the Rigi Trade, the Hykko imperial court got hold of western books and gun. The trade would continue to prosper. This was the first instance of outside contact with Europeans. During the Uxi Period, a relatively stable government and a prosperous period resulted in a peaceful era for 3 centuries.

The Fiurwe Period (1790 C.E.-1920 C.E.) is known for the nation's modernization. With the eventual trade and movement of goods between Hykko and the Europeans nations, the extent and power of the European nation worried the government and the Emperor. In response, many of the court and the Emperor began to modernize the government and the nation. On 1830 C.E., the Hykkogwe military hired a Prussian officer, Henrick Von Pruss to train and modernize the army. During this period, the Hykkogwe government hired western scholars to educate the noble class on western science and architecture. Infrastructural structures such as roads and the sewer system was given a high priority. Many diplomatic missions and diplomatic connections was sent to many European countries. The Riewe Revolt took place in the year 1875 C.E. was a direct response by isolationist groups against the modernization and westernization of the Kingdom of Hykko. This movement was supported by a fringe group of nobles in the the government. In response, the revolt was put down and the group of nobles was brought to trial and executed. With more reforms, access to school and universities started to become more accessible to people who lived more agrarian lives. The industrial period greatly powered the nation and was able to fund and arm its own armed forces. As automobiles and trains became more accessible, more roads were paved and tracks were placed down. Although the nation went though major westernization, the Hykkogwe culture still stood and traditions still had a place in the nation.

[b][size=150]Geography[/size][/b] [hr]

Mountains cover more then 65 percent of Hykko and arable plains are generally small and fall between the successive mountain ranges. The region becomes more mountainous towards the north and the east, with the highest mountain found in Taebaek Range. The nation has 73,321 Nawi (38,521 km) of coastline, and the south and west coasts are particularly irregular and non-linear with more then 2,000 smaller islands off the nation are found along the south and the west coasts.

[sidebar][IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/bJMD0qhC/Asia-laea-relief-location-map.jpg[/IMG][/sidebar]

The climate of Hykko differs dramatically from north to south. The southern regions experience a relatively warm and wet climate similar to that of southern Jejuo, affected by warm ocean waters including the East Hykko Warm Current while the northern regions experience a colder and to some extent more inland climate. For example, the annual precipitation of the Yaxu River valley is less than half of that on the south coast. Likewise, there is a 20 °C (36 °F) difference in January temperature between the peninsula's southern and northern tips. The land is affected by similar climactic patterns, including the East Asian monsoon in midsummer and frequent typhoons in autumn. The majority of rainfall takes place during the summer months, with nearly half during the monsoon alone. Winters are cold, with January temperatures typically below freezing but winter precipitation is minimal, with little snow accumulation outside of mountainous areas and reports of snow reaching 6 Tei in the Northern Region of Hokkau.

The Kiuiki River rests to the north of the Hykkogwe Region. The Kiuiki River is considered a natural barrier to the north and historically a stopping point. The Bouchu River is located on the southern tip of the country and was crucial to the early Hykko civilization. The Yuri Plains is one of the largest plains in the whole country taking the northern part of Hykko Uyuhai while the Katyu Plains is the largest plains in southern Hykko. There are small pockets of arable plains in the territory land masses isolated by mountain chains or/and mountains.

The Hykko region consists of several ecoregions. The majority of the region is covered by a temperate zone with various broad-leaved deciduous trees. The region is home to over 1,000 species of flowers and many species of animals. The land is heavily forested around mountains.

Hykko is rich in maritime resources and is filled with small deposits coal, iron, oil, mineral, and rare metal such as tungsten, molybdenum, limestone, and graphite.

[b][size=150]Cuisine[/size][/b] [hr]

Hykkogwa Cuisine is based on combining the staple food, which is steamed white rice, inukazu or main dishes and side dishes. This may be accompanied by a clear or midae soup and poiuono (pickles). Rice is served in its own small bowl (chawai), and each main course item is placed on its own small plate (saio) or bowl (hachufi) for each individual portion. This is done even in Hykkogwa homes. It contrasts with the Western-style dinners at home, where each individual takes helpings from the large serving dishes of food presented at the middle of the dining table. Hykkogwa style traditionally abhors different flavored dishes touching each other on a single plate, so different dishes are given their own individual plates as mentioned, or are partitioned using leaves, etc. Placing main dishes on top of rice and "soiling" it is also frowned upon by old-fashioned etiquette. Around 2000 years ago, Hykkogwe Cuisine was influenced by China. Between the Tuyiri Period (300 B.C.E - 0 C.E), rice became a staple food in Hykkogwa Cuisine and rice farms were become more popular due to Chinese influences. Later on, wheat and soybeans were introduced shortly after rice and became the three staple foods in Hykkogwa Cuisine. With the arrival of Buddhism during the Hufon Period (300 C.E - 500 C.E) the consumption of meat was strictly prohibited, although the consumption Iyushigufo was not prohibited as it was a staple in Hykkogwa Cuisine and the consumption of fish was not prohibited. As such many fish based dish was introduced and was the nation's main source of protein. During the 18th and 19th century, with the ongoing efforts to modernize and westernize, the Emporer Memihu staged a New Years Feast and allowed the consumption of meat in a thousand years.

Side dishes are a important aspect of Hykkogwe Cuisine. Some common side dishes include Giu and Fuu. Many side dishes are fermented to increase it's shelf life and to delay spoiling. Many side dishes are made with vegetables and/or herbs. The most popular dish and traditional dish is Seriywung which is a rice dish with Seri mixed in. Seri is a traditional spice that is paired with rice. It is made with dried seaweed, sesame seed, and other herbs.

Many Hykkogwe enjoy eating street food. Hykkogwe street foods are usually served hot. Guchurie or Rice Cakes are a popular meal and is enjoyed by many. Jeriyo or fish and pork are one of the popular meat dish.

Desserts for a Hykkogwe many include Iu or a red bean filled rice cakes or fruits. Although, the Hykkogwe plate includes little dessert and are usually consumed on special holidays. More modern-day tastes includes green tea ice cream, a very popular flavor. Kakigurwa is a shaved ice dessert flavored with syrup or condensed milk. It is usually sold and eaten at summer festivals.

[b][size=150]Language[/size][/b] [hr] Tokwuigu is a Eastern Asian language and is the official language of Hykko. It is spoken around by 350 million people. Tokwuigu is a synthetic language with a regular agglutinative subject-object-verb (SOV) morphology, with both productive and fixed elements. It is a topic-prominent language. Tokwuigu uses the Hitori Script which contains 43 lexicon. Each character is equated to one sound and primarily revolves around the "a, i, e, u, o" vowels.

Before the adoption of the Tokwuigu, the court and the lower class only had a spoken language. With the growing influences from China during the Haein Period (300 C.E.- 650 C.E.), Kanhaju was introduced into the kingdom. With the introduction a written form of communication, the court could record transaction, decrees, and laws. Chinese characters also came to be used to write Tokwuigu words, resulting in the modern tokana syllabaries. Around 650 C.E., a writing system written in cursive style evolved into Hitori, or "ladies' hand," a writing system that was accessible to women (who were denied higher education). Major works of Haein-era literature by women were written in Hitori.

[sidebar][IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/m2PVGrkD/Untitled124.png Map of Different Dialects[/IMG][/sidebar]

Dozen of dialects are spoken through out the country. Dialects typically differ in terms of pitch accent, vocabulary, and particle usage. Some even differ in vowel and consonant inventories as the huge size of the country. Altogether, it is very uncommon. Under are 3 umbrella dialect families, Toku Dialect, Xichu Dialect, and Gerixu Dialect.

Particles in Tokwuigu are postpositional, as they immediately follow the modified component.

Verbs in Tokwoigu are rigidly constrained to the ends of clauses in what is known as the predicate position and means that the verb is always located at the end of a sentence. The subject and objects of the verb are indicated by means of particles, and the grammatical functions of the verb, primarily tense and voice are indicated by means of conjugation. When the subject and the dissertative topic coincide, the subject is often omitted; if the verb is intransitive, the entire sentence may consist of a single verb. Verbs have two tenses indicated by conjugation, past and future/present.

In language typology, it has many features divergent from most European languages. Its phrases are exclusively head-final and compound sentences are exclusively left-branching. There are many such languages, but few among European languages

[b][size=150]Culture[/size][/b] [hr]

Due to it's isolation policy for more then 5 century, Hykko has a very distinct culture and attire. Although, early Chinese civilization greatly influenced early Hykko culture.

The earliest Hykkogwe painting was found in a cave located in Jimin by the past people of Gou people. With the eventual trade with China, different types of painting techniques and paper was introduced to the early Hykkogwe people. A new techniques called "Kiri" became popular among the noble class. Kiri is a naturalist style painting using paper and a paintbrush. Ink has been a very important material in Hykko for more then a millennium.

Sets of unique crafts including pottery and silk were common among the Yi period. Later, when Hykko was introduced to metals, weapons and pans saw a surge in creations and popularity. Crafts made in Hykko followed a simple philosophy, "Quality over Quantity". Many of Hykko's crafts were sought after by a variety of people.

There are two recognized music form in traditional Hykkojia music. They are the Shoyugwa and Miopurityu which both date towards the Takou period (700C.E-790C.E). Shoyugwa is a Buddhist chanting while Miopurityu is orchestra court music. Music was greatly enjoyed by the noble classes in Hykko. Traditional instruments such as the "Yierwa" and "Gwangetsu" were used to play traditional music. Gwangetsu is a stringed musical instrument that originated in China and as such are similar to the Chinese Zheng. They are usually around 90 Yutui in length and is made from wooden materials. It consist of 13 strings and 13 movable bridges along the width of the instrument. The player would modify the instrument by moving the bridges along the instrument and would use their index, thumb, and middle. The Kwagwane is a small flat portable gong is is played with a stick. The gong is made up of brass and is used mostly to communicate within a battlefield. The Sanshin is a 3 stringed instrument that is played with a pick called a Heri. The instrument is driveled from the Chinese Sanxian. The construction of the Sanshin varies in shape, depending on the genre in which it is used. The Sanshin consists of a base and is followed up is a neck. The Uhogou is a Hykkojia longitudinal end-blown bamboo flute made up of 5 holes. The Uhogou creates a harmonic spectrum that contains the fundamental frequency together with even and odd harmonics and some blowing noise. The five finger holes are tuned to a minor pentatonic scale with no half-tones, although many forms of techniques were created to create more varied sounds. They were usually played in marriages and other ceremonies. The Tatwakoi is a drum instrument and the size can vary. Brought over from China from around 558 C.E., it played a instrumental role in the history of Hykko. It's simplicity saw it found from the Imperial Household to the battlefield. Militarily, it was used to to intimidate enemies, give orders, and set the marching pace for soldiers. The Tatwakoi could be played with other instruments with ease. The Tatwakoi was made from a wooden base with animal hide for it's skin and it could have taken over an year to create one drum.

"Hantak" is a traditional Hykkogwa clothing made up of a shirt and trouser. The shirt is worn and is tucked into the trouser as the trouser is tied at the waist and falls to the ankle. Other apparels includes a white Uta, Jiougyu, and various types of foot wear. In cooler weather, a Hashifwa or a long jacket is worn. A Hayuta is usually made out of hemp, linen, silk, silk brocade, silk crepes and is usually black, blue, white, or navy blue. Hayuta are worn by martial arts practitioners such as Kenko, Judo, and Shikuyuda. "Riyukata" is a traditional Hykkogwa garment usually worn during the summer and spring season. Over time, the proportions of Riyukata have evolved differently for men and women. Men's Riyukata should fall approximately to the ankle, with no hip fold. A woman's Riyukata, however, should be as tall as she is, in order to allow the correct length for the hip fold to be formed. An ideally tailored Riyukata has sleeves that fall to the wrist when the arms are lowered; however, in informal situations, this is not strictly necessary. Riyukata is traditionally made out of hemp, linen, silk, silk brocade, and silk crepes. Historically, Riyukata were often taken apart for washing in separate panels, and were resewn by hand. Because of the standardized method of construction, and the fact that no fabric is wasted, the Riyukata can easily be retailored to fit the changing body, or indeed another person. Traditionally, Riyukata were sewn by hand and patterns such as cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, bamboo, etc. were added on. Riyukata usually are colorful with bright colors for women's Riyukata.

In "Kyoubokhwa" is a traditional Hykkogwa house. Usually constructed out of wood and paper, a Kyoubokhwa has a perk of being able to be constructed completely without nails. Although a Carpenter had to be skilled enough to make and judge precise cuts. Ceramics or clay tile is used for the roof of the Kyoubokhwa making a large gently curved roof. The house is partitioned by a sliding door made of wood and paper called a Yuji. The Yuji were thin enough for light to go through and were largely portable. A wooden plank, mostly portable, is used to secure a door. In a Kyoubokhwa, it is common practice to have a area where a shrine in placed for deceased family members. Sites of residence was traditionally chosen with geomancy. The individual layout largely depends on the region and the wealth of the family. Nobles used the outer wing for receptions, poorer people kept tools in the hut. The wealthier a family, the larger the house. In a Kyoubokhwa, there is usually a garden. It's is very uncommon for a Kyoubokhwa to not have a garden. A lotus pond is an important feature in a Hykkogwe garden. If a natural stream is present, a pavilion is built next to it, allowing the pleasure of watching the water. Terraced flower beds are also a common feature.

In Hykkogwa traditional architecture, there are various styles, features and techniques unique to each period and use, such as residence, castle, Buddhist temple and shrines. On the other hand, especially in ancient times, it was strongly influenced by Chinese culture like other Asian countries, so it has characteristics common to architecture in Asian countries. Partly due also to the variety of climates in Hykko and the millennium encompassed between the first cultural import and the last, the architecture is extremely heterogeneous, but several practically universal features can nonetheless be found. First of all is the choice of materials, was always wood in various forms (planks, straw, tree bark, paper, etc.) for almost all structures. The use of stone is avoided except for certain specific uses, for example temple podia and pagoda foundations. The general structure and idea is almost always the same with posts to support a large and gently curved roof. Arches and barrel roofs are completely absent. Gable and eave curves are gentler than in China and the convexity at the center limited. The roof is the most visually impressive component, often constituting half the size of the whole building. Simpler solutions are adopted in domestic structures. The interior of the building normally consists of a single room at the center and from which depart to many other spaces. Inner area divisions are fluid, and room size can be modified through the use of screens or movable paper walls. Structures are made to a certain extent part of their environment and care is taken to blend the edifice into the surrounding natural environment.

[b][size=150]Religion[/size][/b] [hr]

Naiseon is the ethic religion of Hykko that focuses on ritual practices to establish a connection to the present to the ancient past.

Naiseon practices were first recorded and codified in the written historical records of the Kyuhwa and Nikko Shogugwe in the 8th century. These earliest Hykkogwa writings do not refer to a unified religion, but rather to a collection of native beliefs and mythology. Naiseon today is the religion of public shrines devoted to the worship of a multitude of "spirits", "essences" or "gods" suited to various purposes such as war memorials and harvest festivals. Practitioners express their diverse beliefs through a standard language and practice, adopting a similar style in dress and ritual, dating from around the time of the Twayu and Haein periods (8th–12th centuries).

The word Naiseonv was adopted, originally as Judōi or Shindōi, from the written Chinese Shendao (神道,). The oldest recorded usage of the word Naiseon is from the second half of the 6th century. Kakumi is rendered in English as "spirits", "essences", or "gods", and refers to the energy generating the phenomena, or sacred essence, that manifests in multiple forms such as rocks, trees, rivers, animals, objects, places, and people. Kakumi and people are not separate; they exist within the same world and share its interrelated complexity.

The principal worship of kakumi is done at public shrines or worship at small home shrines called kakumitwan (神棚). The public shrine is a building or place that functions as a conduit for kakumi. A fewer number of shrines are also natural places called mwagyuri. The most common of the mwagyuri are sacred groves of trees, or mountains, or waterfalls. All shrines are open to the public at some times or throughout the year. While many of the public shrines are elaborate structures, all are characteristic Hykkogwa architectural styles of different periods depending on their age. Shrines are fronted by a distinctive Hykkogwa gate, the Tokua (鳥居) made of two uprights and two crossbars denoting the separation between common space and sacred space. There are a number of symbolic and real barriers that exist between the normal world and the shrine grounds including: statues of protection, gates, fences, ropes, and other delineations of ordinary to sacred space. Usually there will be only one or sometimes two approaches to the Shrine for the public and all will have the torii over the way. The heart of the shrine is periodic rituals, spiritual events in parishioners' lives, and festivals. All of this is organized by priests who are both spiritual conduits and administrators. Shrines are private and government institutions, and are supported financially by the congregation, visitors, and the government. Some shrines may have festivals that attract hundreds of thousands, especially in the New Year season.

The 3 Great Han, descendants from heaven, proceeded on establishing a small kingdom populated only by man in a world filled with demons and evil spirits. There, the 3 Hans raised the Great Army and vanquished the evil from this world, with Guryeo, the righteous man destined to be the first emperor who the 3 Hans taught before dying in their mortal bodies and their spirits mixing with the Sun, Sky, and Land. Protecting the Kingdom from any evil who attempts to invade.

[b][size=150]Government[/size][/b] [hr]

The Hykkogwe Government is a Nationalist Autocracy with Si Xutu as Minister and an Emperor. There are 2 branches of the Government. The Legislative (Geti) and Executive (Chuei). The Executive branch is the "Leadership" position which controls the Military and Government Agencies. The Legislative branch create, enacts, and enforce law within the county. The Legislative branch contains the Getiu or the Diet Assembly of Hykko. The Diet Assembly of Hykko contains 435 elected officials from the regions. The only legal party in the nation, the Tanyui Hwaguda Usutaseo (National Party of Hykko) controls all the 435 seats in the Diet Assembly.

[sidebar][IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Hykko_Diet_Assembly_2019.svg[/IMG][/sidebar]

Historically, the Hykko was ruled by a monarch with a court. The court was populated by nobles and in rare cases, some lower class citizen. Apart from a few periods, the Hykkogwe Monarchical government stood relativity stable thoughout the century. This was attributed to the "merit before rank" idea where rank was given out based on merit.

[b][size=150]Military[/size][/b] [hr]

The Hykkogwe Armed Forces (ㄩㄠ万ㅇ) is broken up to 4 separate branches; Navy, Air Force, Army, and Home Guard. With the Prime Minister as the Commander in Chief. In a situation of emergency, the 5 leaders; 4 general for each of the branches and the Prime Minister. The Military Budget takes up 4% of the Hykkogwe economy. With the passing of the Infinitive Bill of 1880, all male citizen between the age of (18-25) are required to attend boot camp.

The Hykkogwe Navy (ㄔㄛㄘ) is commanded by a Admiral and is the naval warfare service branch of the State of Hykko and it is responsible for amphibious operation. The Hykkogwe Navy Personnel numbers around 200,000 sailors and has around 750 commissioned sea vehicles and 120 aircrafts. The Hykkogwe Navy was established as the Naval Force on April 10th, 1850. The Navy is currently a Blue-Water Navy.

The Hykkogwe Air Force (ㄠ>上ㄢ) is commanded by a Air General and is the air warfare service branch of the State of Hykko. The Hykkogwe Air Force Personnel numbers around 210,000 airman and contains 1,000 planes.
