Koro Genocide

The Koro Genocide was the mass destruction of the Koro people and culture within the Confederation of Garxijos state of Korosechev. Conducted mainly by the CoG Military, it was mainly carried out through a large razing of the capital of Korosechev; Orbiztan, where 99.5% of the Koro population was massacred in a final measure taken to destroy the Koro.

Prior to the main outbreak of the genocide, many Koro felt much more connected to their state and land instead of the Confederation as a whole; and thus, did not feel obligated to remain in the Confederation. Many CoG citizens viewed Korosechev as government land, and when Korosechev attempted to declare its independence a lot of CoG nationals rallied behind the military to suppress and contain the uprising.

The genocide was formally ended on November 3rd, when military forces stormed Orbiztan and slaughter every citizen within the city before burning it down. In this fight, 199 out of 200 Koro were killed with the only survivor being the son of the Korosto; Kroosechev Verokov.

Large portions of the CoG population give the argument that the events held within Orbiztan were not considered genocide, but instead it was merely quelling of the unruly populous living within Korosechev that had to be done in order to preserve the confederation.

Contact with the Koro
Following the Confederation of Garxijos purchasing loud out to the west of their borders from Drak Yul including Korosechev Island, a few settlers began moving out to live in these new lands. These early pioneers were the first outsiders to ever make contact with the native Koro living on the island for the past ~3,000 years. Initial contact was largely peaceful, and eventually translators arrived to communicate.

Kroosechev toured the Confederation to understand their culture, and studied political philosophy in order to more easily convey how his people had been living for the past few thousand years in the form of a political ideology. Eventually the CoG government arranged to meet with Kroosechev to discuss Korosechev becoming a state, and on September 6th Korosechev formally joined the Confederation of Garxijos as a state.
