Federation of Notos

The Federation of Notos, typically simply referred to as just Notos, is a nation in Southeastern Eldham in the region of Serrona. The government follows an oligarchic structure and is led by a council consisting of 13 members.

The nation was formed after the merging of Elduria and Dejuria shortly after the collapse of the Celestial Confederation.

Background
The area that comprises of modern day Notos has had a long history with its location in the center of Serrona. The region that makes up the nation today used to be home to scattered Eldurian and Vespirian settlements with nomadic Dejurian and Vulpur settlements located throughout the entire area. Its strategic positioning on many bodies of water made it a common trade route for early peoples of Serrona.

Ultimately after the discovery of Eldham by Athaz the Traveler several states would see their creation in the area, including the uniting of local tribal settlements into the nations of Elduria and Dejuria, with early Vulpinia also owning a significant amount of land in the area. The borders of the region would shift dramatically over time. This included the short-lived creation of the Campfire Society which dominated the area, particularly Elduria, for a while. Ultimately both Elduria and Dejuria would become fundamental members of the Celestial Confederation.

Formation of Notos
After the collapse of the Celestial Confederation following a gargantuan amount of domestic turmoil, the peoples of both Elduria and Dejuria found themselves growing closer together as fears were running rampant that Vulpinia may choose to invade to gain land. Ultimately, the similarities between the two fledgling nations appeared to be much more significant than previously expected with both having an oligarchic government and city structures and the two decided to ultimately unite into the Federation of Notos on July 11th, 2021.

The Grande Dick War
The first war that Notos would become involved in would be the Grande Dick War when they had fought on the side of the Bai Federation. While their entry in the war was ultimately rather insignificant though both sides did see non-insignificant casualties.

Notosian Golden Age
After the formation of Notos and their victory in the war, the nation would see an unprecedented golden age as cities appeared on the map incredibly quickly and the population slowly skyrocketed.

Culture & Ethnic Groups
There are three ethnic groups that comprise the vast majority of Notos, the most of which are the Eldurians and Dejurians, with the Vespir being a minority group.

The Dejurians hail from nomadic warfaring peoples in Eastern Serrona of unique racial background. While the exact origins of the Dejurians is unknown, it is frequently theorized that they originated from extraterrestrial life. The ethnic group is well known for their unique religious traditions, especially in regards to lunar worship, and for their renowned architecture.

The Eldurians are a Human ethnic group that arrived in modern Western Notos during prehistory. Eldurian ruins are commonly found throughout Western Notos as they have had an exceptionally long history in the region. Many of the people of Elduria has major origins in the Campfire Society.

The final significant ethnic group in the nation is the Vespir which are believed to be of extraterrestrial origin, similar to the Dejurians, but are incredibly different and are often anatomically compared to wasps. The Vespir population is very small however and is typically restrained to the area surrounding modern day Salac.
