Nova Bibshmibbia

Nova Bibshmibbia (Bibshmibbian: Nova Bebshmybja) is a nation located in Onthukhan, more specifically in southern Portavel and north of Zamotz island. Nova Bibshmibbia was founded in late Winter of 122 SMP, after SHMOOBDOOB bought the land from the Portavel, a province of the Zamotz Union at the time, and is considered a successor state to the fallen nation of Bibshmibbia. The Name Nova Bibshmibbia comes from the language of Bibshmibbian. The name is formed from the word "Nova", Bibshmibbian for New, and "Bibshmibbia", Bibshmibbian for "Land of the Shmiggies". Nova Bibshmibbia in traveller's tongue translates roughly to "New Shmiggies' Land", although "Bibshmibbia" is used far more commonly. It has two provinces, Kolnor and Nova Varomia.

The Age of Development

 * Following the collapse of Bibshmibbia after it was annexed by the Empire of Avaria, the former residents fled north and went into hiding. The old Bibshmibbian land was eventually bought by the Zamotz Union and incorporated into the country. Eventually, SHMOOBDOOB moved into the Nova Bibshmibbia Peninsula after buying it from the Zamotz Union for $100,000 by taking out a loan of $90,000 from a former resident of Bibshmibbia and friend, Ashren. The Capital of Nova Varomia was established in early Autumn of 70 SMP, and was led by SHMOOBDOOB and newer residents such as Penguin2804 and Idisir. An Election for Prime Minister was held in Summer of 124 SMP, and after some shenanigans, Penguin was elected Prime Minister, with Okomi II serving as Vice Prime Minister.
 * After the election, the capital city of Nova Varomia was expanded, with businesses such as Bibshmibbia Cafe and Ashren's Cheese Emporium. After meeting with other nations of the Onthukhan region, Nova Bibshmibbia joined the Onthukhan Pact, bringing with it general peace and newfound unity within the continent. During this time, Nova Bibshmibbia supported the Commonwealth of Falholt during their tensions with Duruk Kanar, strengthening relations between the 2 Countries. Shortly after the Falholt Crisis, Nova Bibshmibbia ratified a Mutual Defense Pact with the Zamotz Union, their closest neighbor and ally.
 * On the second Bibshmibbian Election Day in late Autumn of 131 SMP, Ashren and Penguin2804 were tied for Prime Minister, with 3 votes each. After SHMOOBDOOB realized this, they had the two candidates fight to near death, with Ashren *DEFINITELY* not rigging the fights. In the end, Ashren won the battle, and served as Prime Minister, with Penguin2804 as their Vice Prime Minister. The after party was held in the Bibshmibbian Brewery, and lead to several citizens being beat within a inch of their lives as the normally peaceful Bibshmibbians embraced the spirit of the party, and lead to Penguin laying out future plans for an Arena in which to hold future future festivities.



The Age Of Expansion

 * Ashren had SHMOOBDOOB begin construction on the Bibshmibbian Palace, while Penguin worked on the Varomian Archives. Ashren, Penguin, and Crlsniper began expanding the roads around Nova Varomia, and construction on the Port began. Around this time, the Zamotz Union was undergoing a divisive merger with a country in the northwest of Eldham, Aristios. Several figures in central Zamotz, such as Dcrazydude and crlsniper were against the merger, and thought that the Merge was rushed by the current Prime Minister, Bhutch. Due to their positive relations with the leaders of Nova Bibshmibbia, The Zamotian province of Kolnor made plans to join Nova Bibshmibbia following Zamotz's merger. At the beginning of 135 SMP, the Zamotz Union merged with Aristios and shortly after, Kolnor joined Nova Bibshmibbia, and was fully integrated as a province, and Leaders from both countries agreed to meet to rework the governmental system.
 * In the spring of 139 SMP, Yelxidor and the Bibshmibbian Liberal Party won the third Nova Bibshmibbian General Prime Minister Election with 64% of the votes. Almost all of them coming from the province of Kolnor which his party was intended to represent.
 * In Autumn of 139 SMP, Yelxidor was officially appointed the role and responsibilities of General Prime Minister of Nova Bibshmibbia. He was personally given the General Prime Minister's Cap, which is a turtle shell traditionally worn on the head of the General Prime Minister of Nova Bibshmibbia, by his political opposition during the election, Pengu.
 * Near the end of Autumn of 140 SMP, Yelxidor negotiated for a change to the territory of Nova Bibshmibbia with Aristios-Zamotz. Yelxidor had noticed inaccuracies in popular map-maker's maps of Eldham and wanted to make it clear where Nova Bibshmibbia starts and where it ends. He gave the statement, "It is not a purchase of land or an update to the relations of the nations of Nova Bibshmibbia and Aristios-Zamotz but a correction of incorrectly mapped borders between both of these nations. During the rush of the Aristios-Zamotz Union merge and the declaration of independence of Kolnor; these factors and land claims were overlooked."
 * At the dawn of 141 SMP Yelxidor began negotiations with The Pale for the jungle which was directly east from Nova Bibshmibbia's capital, Nova Varomia. Yelxidor wanted to use his time as General Prime Minister to gain Nova Bibshmibbia as much territory as possible. The jungle was a region that The Pale hadn't used at all or even set foot on so Yelxidor believed he had a chance of getting it. He told them that the temple in its centre of the jungle had great cultural importance to the Nova Bibshmibbian people. In the end the negotiations failed and both nation's territories remained the same.
 * In Autumn of 141 SMP Aristios-Zamotz, which had been newly renamed to the Federal Union Of Zarissia, took away many of the senator's from the Zamotz Union's powers leaving only four remaining. This meant Aristios's senators had a large majority. Yelxidor was one of these senators so he lost his role as a senator of the Federal Union Of Zarissia. Yelxidor set out on a campaign to try and recruit as many of the now powerless provinces of the Federal Union Of Zarissia into the nation of Nova Bibshmibbia.
 * At the dawn of 142 SMP Nova Bibshmibbia was approached by Shirokaneza, a neighbouring settlement under the rule of the Federal Union Of Zarissia, asking to purchase land in northern Zamotz's jungles. Yelxidor, along with the majority of Kolnor's management were against giving this land away due to the settlement of Mist Sanctuary being located in that very jungle. Shirokaneza offered 250,000 coins and a mutual defence pact to convince Nova Bibshmibbia however Yelxidor was still adamant on declining. Another reason for why Nova Bibshmibbia declined is that they were set on expanding their territory as opposed to shrinking it.
 * Not long before the start of Spring of 142 SMP Yelxidor constructed the The Varomian Narwhal. The Varomian Narwhal was the first ship constructed in the Nova Bibshmibbian fleet after the merge. It was mostly to expand trade opportunities however had naval battle capabilities. Yelxidor gave the speech, "The Varomian Narwhal has finished construction on Nova Varomia's docks. This should open up Nova Varomia's trade to oceanic travel and transport." The ship was named by Pengu Guntherson, Vice Consul of Nova Varomia and Vice Prime Minister of Nova Bibshmibbia.
 * In early spring of 142 SMP Arzdoskes escapes his exile and comes to Nova Varomia. Pengu Guntherson and Kadia Yelxidor tried to rehabilitate the arsonist maniac however failed to stop him from setting the Varomian Narwhal on fire. Luckily the damage was not severe and easily repairable. Pengu Guntherson and Kadia Yelxidor continued to try to rehabilitate him however struggled, due to his desire to consume people and drink tears. Kadia Yelxidor made Arzdoskes take up the role of minister of fire prevention and interception and minister of health and safety in an attempt to rehabilitate Arzdoskes and force him to see how rewarding helping people can be. Arzdoskes later attempted to steal all Kadia Yelxidor's belongings.
 * In late spring of 142 SMP Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb and Kadia Yelxidor take over the abandoned man-made island called Elderville. It was long abandoned by its previous settlers so Nova Bibshmibbia took it over to create Fort Eldar. It would serve as a military fort to defend Nova Varomia from overseas invasion. It was also to become Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb's summer home.

The merging of Kolnor into Nova Bibshmibbia had a massive land increase for the small nation. Overall Nova Bibshmibbia's territory had a 300% increase. The merging of Kolnor started a new age for Nova Bibshmibbian politics, as the nation had to evolve to accommodate for the new political landscape.

Suuntur (Settlement)
Suuntur is the capital city of Kolnor, the second Province of Nova Bibshmibbia. It is governed by its mayor, Dcrazydude and is very business centred. Nearly all of Suuntur's citizens follow the Stone Path; a religion focused heavily on maintaining capitalist ideals.

The temple is held down by large metal chains which stop it from floating infinitely upward. Suuntur is a town located in the mossy mountains of Zamotz and is where the ice tunnels used for transport throughout central Onthukhan are built and planned.

Limuria (Settlement)
Limuria is a town located in central Zamotz in the second province of Nova Bibshmibbia; Kolnor. It is governed by its mayor Draphonaris and the town is named after the ancient nation of Limuria.

It was also to become Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb's summer home. Fort Eldar is currently unorganized territory meaning that it is not a part of any existing province. This means that Fort Eldar is directly governed by the Smakhhpyn, Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb

Reagabishamoguyism
Reagabishamoguyism, also known as the TRSS (The The Reagabishamoguy Secret Society), was a religion founded by Pope Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb (SHMOOBDOOB) and was the primary religion in Bibshmibbia, while it still had independence. Following the Annexation of Bibshmibbia, SHMOOBDOOB was forced to renounce the religion which it founded. Following this, the TRSS was largely dormant and only practiced by its followers for a large period of time. Following the founding of Nova Bibshmibbia, the TRSS gained a significant amount of followers, as SHMOOBDOOB was no longer forced to renounce it's religious beliefs. It recruited a large number of followers, and began the construction of a Temple to the TRSS.

The Stone Path
The Stone Path are worshipers of the Mighty Ishizukuri Ryu, the Stone Dragon, and followers of the teachings of Shiyan the Great Merchant. There are two parts to the religion: the theological and the philosophical. For the theological we are a monolatry religion, the belief in the existence of many deities, but only one deity is worthy to worship. We believe that Ishizukuri Ryu is The Great Divine who killed Death and now through his worship grants us wealth and splendor. For the philosophical we follow the capitalist teaching of Shiyan, the wife of Ishizukuri Ryu, through the 285 Rules of Gain. This religion is primarily worshipped in Kolnor but after Kolnor merged into Nova Bibshmibbia there was a rise in its popularity among the citizens of Nova Varomia.
