The Zamotz Union is a large country located in Eldham, centered around the Isles of Zamotz in central Onthukhan. The Union consists of several provinces and territories, with certain provinces bounded under regional governments. At the national level, the Union is led by the National Council, a legislative body responsible for managing the day-to-day activities of the Union. The Triumvirate, or Triarchy, leads the Union's executive branch, with the three triumvirs or triarchs responsible for executing the will of the National Council and handling foreign policy without a council vote for most measures taken.

Etymology
The Zamotz Union's namesake originates from the island of Zamotz, which in turn comes from the native peoples and language of Bibshmibbia, with the name derived from the Bibshmibbian word Zmtz, or "mainland." Lacking a unified name for the island, other native groups nearby Bibshmibbia would adopt the name for the island, with it eventually overtaking all other proposals.

Tesumasima
Main article: Tesumasima

The creation of the Zamotz Union began during the Tesumasima, a period of political instability in which the island of Zamotz was fractured and under the threat of colonization by the Viodoxa-affiliated Kingdom of Avaria. All native countries, such as the State of Suuntur and the then-unrecognized State of Elatsania began taking precautionary measures and were open to developing ties with surrounding countries that felt equally threatened by the colonizers.

Meanwhile, the nation of Limuria, which had already settled some territory between Elatsania and Suuntur, began its migration to the island of Zamotz from their homeland, located north of Skjoldrbrodir. The nation of Cyrillia, another native country on the island, declared itself a protectorate of Limuria around the same time for defense against the Avarian colonizers.

Creation of the Union
The State of Elatsania, following its unification with Suuntur on the same day of its independence (July 16th) was facing repeated bandit attacks allegedly hired by the Kingdom of Avaria whilst facing territory disputes with Limuria. The country, governed by a council and a head of the council (or King Councillor), was marred by heated discussions and a lack of ideas for pushing back the colonizers while simultaneously deciding its future relations with Limuria.

The nation of Limuria itself was engaged in discussions with Viodoxa, Avaria, and the United Burgamerian Socialist Republic, which held a colony of their own in the northwestern part of the island. Plans for a purchase were laid out, including a trade where Limuria would receive the territories of the UBSR and Bibshmibbia alongside a payment of $200,000 in exchange for the entire Limurian mainland. A lack of communication across the various governments that held jurisdiction over the colonies would cause the deal to shift between being accepted or declined, causing widespread panic across the island. Amidst the chaos faced in both countries, King Okomi I and Draphonaris met to discuss the future of their region, with the latter proposing a union. The Elatsanian council

Uniting the Island
The island was fully united aside from the Viodoxian colonies to the northwest, which was perceived as a threat. Due to having before utterly destroyed the nation of Bibshmibbia, which was once a native city state in the region. It was bought by Lord Draphonaris, which made a trade with the duke of Avaria (Viodoxia).

A new group appeared on the island, many warriors from an unknown lands far to the east. Settled on the island for it's good location. Unknown to them they settled on Viodoxia's colony. They began building their large city, they called their region Shirokaneza.

Shirokaneza would later on join the Zamotz Union, which saw governmental changes for the Union. Seeing more Ministers and a Triumvirate instead of a diarchy, Queen Tira would rule alongside Draphonaris and Okomi.
