Bibshmibbia

Bibshmibbia (Bibshmibbian: Bebshmybja) was a country located on the Eldham isles of Zamotz. Established on July 3, 2021, Bibshmibbia was the first of several native Eldham nations to form out of Velithangka's territory during the Tesutsayi period of Zamotz.

Pre-History
According to legend, the founders of Bibshmibbia are aliens whom landed on Eldham and began constructing ancient structures before humans arrived on the island of Zamotz. As human settlement arrived, the aliens adapted to humanity, making their language more compatible with the Traveler's Tongue to establish contact with other groups.

Religion
The Bibshmibbians practiced a faith known as Reagabishamoguyism, also known as "The The Reagabishamoguy Secret Society," or TRSS for short. Led by Pope SHMOOBDOOB, the religion believed in the existence of Reagabishamoguy, a devil-like creature whom consumed the souls of chickens and communicated through the Eternal Dealer. The Dealer, a chicken whom sacrificed a million of its own kind to achieve reincarnation and communication to Reagabishamoguy, is the only bridge between the mortals and the deity. Throughout the religion's existence, the Eternal Dealer lived through nine different chicken bodies, named as:


 * The Dealer
 * Chimken
 * Gilbert I
 * Gilbert II
 * Gilbert III
 * Gilbert IV
 * Gilbert V
 * Gilbert VI
 * Gilbert VII

Diplomacy & Expansion
Bibshmibbia began connecting with other countries across the Isle of Zamotz throughout its history. Upon contact with the monks of Velithangka in regards to their independence, Bibshmibbia was formally recognized by the nations of Eldham on July 3rd. Brief contact with the Mist Sanctuary was maintained, alongside an alliance with Suunturn that evolved into the Eldham Defense Union, a defensive pact between their two countries and the off-isle nation of Weet.

Domestically, Bibshmibbia also saw growth. Construction of a major temple and capital city of Varomia began, whilst the population of the nation primarily resided in the artificial island and city of Zmibp, located east of Bibshmibbia's mainland.

Dissolution
In an effort to expand the TRSS's following and Bibshmibbia's territory, Ashren embarked on a journey to the territory of Avaria to convince an Avarian to help with espionage inside of Viodoxa to liberate their country and integrate it into Bibshmibbia. In reality, Avaria had joined Viodoxa voluntarily and had no plans of secession, causing the Avarians contacted to notify Viodoxa about the infiltration attempt. Shortly afterward, Viodoxa declared war on Bibshmibbia, and began preparations to invade the country. Seeing no chance to win the battle, Bibshmibbia surrendered on July 13th without a battle, and was annexed into the Empire of Avaria the next day. On July 15th, both Zmibp and Varomia collapsed as cities, being plundered of whatever loot was not evacuated by the former citizens of the country.

Legacy
The collapse of Bibshmibbia became a pivotal moment in the history of Zamotz, alerting natives that the relative peace of the Isles would not hold. The July 13th invasion became immortalized as the transition period between the Tesutsayi, the "Time of Peace," and the Tesumasima, the "Time of Change." Several events, such as the vassalization of Cyrillia by Limuria and the foreign policy of Indusia (later known as Elatsania) were directly influenced by the fall of Bibshmibbia, while the rest of the Isle's history would indirectly stem from the panic and measures taken by all countries on the Zamotz following the incident.

Restoration efforts by Limuria began following the purchase of Bibshmibbia from Viodoxa, creating the town of Zhagos on top of Zmibp's ruins and claiming parts of Varomia as part of Limuria's new capital city.

The former residents of Bibshmibbia have gone into seclusion after fleeing Zamotz, founding the city of Draesklakapital in an unknown location.
