Buchwych

Buchwych is a city within the Cognia volost of Korosechev, and historically the capital city of the Federal Republic of Cognia. The name is believed to have come from the Korkh words for "Book" and "Valley". It was the last Cognian city to be lost during Cognia's decay and is now largely in a state of disrepair. It has been declared a historically important city by the Koro government and is heavily protected in an effort to preserve Cognian culture.

Etymology
The name Buchwych is a compound name rooted in the words for "Book" and "Valley" in the language of the Korkh. This name appears to have implied a perceived oasis of knowledge and enlightenment in the surrounding dessert, and this is reflected in the city's Vexillology.

Establishment
The city of Buchwych traces back to the very beginning of Eldham, when it is said that UNK_MER after sacrificing himself to the void to save Lux, emerged out from the void in the barren mesa which Buchwych now stands. During this time however the Ellysian Empire had falsely claimed the mesa as their own including Buchwych, this led to many quarrels before the Second Coalition-Ellysian War had effectively eliminated them, allowing for many nations including the Federal Republic of Cognia to gain independence.

Buchwych after the war was not entirely safe from threats however, bandits ran rampant through Eldham in its early days and destroyed many small towns, one such bandit was GamingDerp as he was first starting on the server and discovered Buchwych. Peter5885 and UNK_MER were often able to drive him out through sheer will and beds however when he came around, and still has Derp's head on display to this day.

Garxijos Yawos Merge
The Federal Republic of Cognia being in the less developed north east of Eldham was settled next to 2 other nations, being the Confederation of Anarchist Communes, and Garxijos Yawos, which had recently gained independence as a vassal of the United Socialist States Eldham. A merge was long planned between the nations, with people like Buoyo keeping communications on Garxijos' discord server, and ACasualWalnut for writing the first and last merging document. Which after many weeks and a meeting between the Chancellor Robraph and ACasualWalnut finally and officially merged Garxijos Yawos and the Federal Republic of Cognia into one entity, the Confederation of Garxijos.

Confederation of Garxijos' Dissolvement
After intense heated discussion and instability on the Confederation of Garxijos discord server and some provocative builds within the nation, one of the founding states Garxijos decided to merge with the Uraki Imperium to ensure their stability, and a group within the CoG known as the Socialist Provisional Government also known as the SPG decided to sell out their member states to Uraka under false pretenses. The only state to never sign any binding agreements with any groups wishing to dissolve the CoG was Cognia which soon after the dissolvement of the CoG declared independence on the 22nd of January 2022.

Features
The city of Buchwych features many towering structures and buildings alike, but interestingly providing almost no housing. The tallest building in Buchwych is currently a large propeller aided floating cog, to represent the anagram for the Confederation of Garxijos, another example is the large mesa warehouse, being constructed out of a carved out plateau and having massive cogs constructed on its outside.
