CoG Region

The CoG Region is a sub-continent located in the northeast of Eldham on the continent of Valresh. Currently, 10 nations have land inside the region. The region consists of the area that The Confederation of Garxijos had a major role in, be it directly or influentially. The major historical forces in the region so far have been The Ellysian Empire, The Confederation of Garxijos, The Republic of Helsia, and The Uraki Imperium.

Ellysian Empire
The region was long united under The Ellysian Empire, until the First and Second Coalition-Ellysian War, and following these wars, zones of occupation were set up that would later spring into new nations that called the land home, including The Federal Republic of Cognia and Garxijos Yawos.

Confederation of Garxijos
The CoG was made following a merger with Garxijos and Cognia, and began to slowly expand. The whole region was ended up united under the Nation, giving it the name it has today. The region prospered under a democratic rule, starring a major figures such as Buoyo and Robraph. Eventually, the country collapsed due to internal chaos leading up to a split and division into it's states.

Republic of Helsia
Following the collapse of CoG, the historical nation of Helsia declared independence and instantaneously became a power house in the region, having nearly a 4th of the total population of the region. Their historical presence in the area allowed them to jump straight into the regions post-CoG scene, giving them the upper hand against most nations.

The Uraki Imperium
Uraka was the undisputed champion of the region for a few months following the collapse of COG. The region was nearly been entirely united under their reign, and a majority of nations in the region opted into joining the Imperium. Following several civil unrest movements in the formerly independent regions and an internal decay, Uraka broke into several smaller pieces, leaving the region without a clear powerhouse.

Natural Geography
Stretching from the Katolian Sea in the West all the way to the world's corner in the East, the region's climate is very diverse, starring desserts, savannahs, coral reefs, jungles, forests, grasslands, mesas, mountain ranges, tundras, swamps and even a large mushroom island.

The Mainland
The majority of the mainlan in the north is contiguous going from Cognia to Korosechev, and consists of a large chunk of it's diversity, harboring a large tundra, and a lot of open plains and forests.

The Helsian Peninsula
Home to the historical Helsian people, the peninsula is home to mainly large grasslands, forests and swamps. Other features such as mountains and savannah do appear in small amounts.

Korosechev Island
Home to the historical Koro people, the island is notable for having a comparatively large amount of diversity for it's size, housing savannah, swamp, grassland, forest, jungle and a mountain range with a dormant volcano.

The West
Beyond Korosechev island, there is a large amount of dessert, savannah and mesa with other minor regions and rivers spreading throughout. Also harbors the Katolian Sea, known for vast kelp deposits and rich resources.

The East
Home to swamps, desserts and ice biomes; The Eastern section of the CoG region is notably hard to cultivate properly. This has not stopped some people though, and the region remains delightfully alive with eco system sprawl along side it's Human counterpart.

Human Geography
The CoG region is no stranger to population, being home to ancient Helsian settlers long before a majority of the newer nations. The mainland is very densely populated, housing a majority of the population in tight, modernized cities. Going outwards from the center of the region, more rural populations can be found, however these are not to be ruled out.

Major Cities
These are just a few, there are a lot of other major cities too!

Garxeto
Meaning "People's Fort" in the Lo'Oi language, Garxeto was set up as a fort by the United Socialist States of Eldham shortly after the First Coalition-Ellysian War, and has been a historical cultural and economic center ever since.

Miklagard
Modern capital of Helsia, Miklagard is a center of Helsian enlightenment and culture at it's finest. Big architectural and Economic hub for the Peninsula.

Buchwych
The largest city in The Federal Republic of Cognia, Buchwych is something akin to a sister city of Garxeto, equally powerful and influential, but sadly neglected during the time in CoG.

Orbiztan
A rural farming city seated on Korosechev Island, Orbiztan has been the capital of Korosechev since it's creation, and has been a staple in the region nefarious for it's comically large farm size.

Murussa
Infamously Stultum, Murussa has always been a hub for all things related to the state and it's procedures. Home to a lot of the Stultum populous, the area is a breeding ground for nationalistic ideas.

Savalay
The capital of The Confederation of Anarchist Communes, Savalay is delightfully humble and gracefully polite to anyone that would like to engage with CoAC.

Lavahold
Standing the test of time, Lavahold is a major city in Yunria and a good location in general too. Yunria is historical and resistant, doing whatever it can to stay alive, and Lavahold perfectly reflects that.

Katolis
Katolis, the capital of Katolis, is a castle city situated near the coast on the Katolian sea. It displays it's gleeful desire to simply remain and thrive; being full of Urban sprawl.
