Paz Firainya

The United Kingdom of Paz Firainya, formerly known as Pazfirin, is an Nation situated in the Phagosian Sea, made up the Islands of Paz, North Malosi and South Malosi, within the Greater Radisnydila Island Chain. The Official language spoken is Paz Firainian Creole, a mixed-language stemming from the Native language of the island, with strong Bardonian, Ryzani, Nebskoslav, and Huitcan Influences due to the constant colonization from many powers over the Island's history. Bradecblightic is also spoken as a minority language in the Province of Kishnir.

The Island of Paz has historically been an important hub for trade throughout Rathnir's history, with it being a popular re-fuel point for ships traveling across the North Phagosian Sea. The Ocean's surrounding the Island are also abundant in Clownfish, and have historically been a popular fishing ground for the people of Quia'Jal.

The Island was eventually conquered and incorporated into the Nation of Ryzan, and acted as an important naval base for the Bardonian Empire later on.

History of Paz Firainya
The Nation was founded on Feburary 8th, 2022 following the collapse of the Black Dandelion Empire. Quiazumoc Tizoc, after hearing of Bardonia's collapse sailed north from the Huitca city of Aequalis, with the goal of to claim an uninhabited Island and forming his own Country.

Quiazumoc soon landed upon a small island called Paz Isle (AKA The Island of Peace), which was mostly abandoned except for a small village of people on the Northern Shore; which contained a mix of Bardonian settlers and Native Islanders. After interacting a few locals, Quiazumoc learned that the Island's native populations had been wiped out and deported by the Bardonian Empire in order to make room for a Fortress upon the Island's highest peak, and upon hearing the collapse of the Empire, their peoples began returning home. Quiazumoc, moved by the tale, struck a deal with the leader of the indigenous Pazist tribe, named Loco (Houser), to form the Island into a Kingdom, with Zumoc at the helm. Fater concerns from the Native islanders and Bardonian settlers about the preservation of the Island's culture, Loco and Quiazumoc decided to co-rule the Islands together. They settled on the name Pazfirin (officially meaning "Island surrounded by Peaceful Waves", coming from the Paz Firainian Creole word for Peace (Paz), and the Bradecblightic word for Ocean, Farafin) for this new Nation.

Ryzani Dispute
Trouble soon emerged, however, when Quiazumoc noticed the island's had been claimed by the Ryvenate of Ryzan following Bardonia's collapse. Quiazumoc and Loco sailed up to Tossagrad to negotiate with Ryzan on them recognizing the Island's independence. Following a payment of 30k, Pazfirin was recognized.

Culture
Due to the fact that the Island of Paz has acted as a centre for trade and commerce in the North Phagosian Sea, The cultures on the island greatly reflect its history.

Pazists
The Native Pazists of Paz Firainya are descendants of the people of Quia'Jal; with many of them settling on the islands following the Jalic discovery of Clownfish surrounding the Island's shores 2,000 years ago. Here, they formed the city of Kyshnir, and quickly developed their own unique identity, taking on traditions from their homeland and from nearby Ryzani's and Bardonians, who began to interact with the peoples shortly after their arrival.

Despite being culturally linked to the modern-day Farafinites in Northern Huitca, the two peoples never existed as one entity, and Paz always remained a satellite state, rather than a key part of the Ancient Bradecblightic Kingdoms.

When Paz was conquered and incorporated into the Empire of Ryzan, and later, Bardonia, it began to adopt many cultural traditions from the mainland. This introduced widespread cultural development and exchange between the peoples, eventually leading for the creation of the modern day language of Paz Firainian Creole.

Technology developed as well. The Pazists learned new shipbuilding technology which allowed them to sail across the seas, and the expansion of the Kyshoul harbour.

The Pazists were treated kindly under the rule of Ryzan, but were utterly disrespected under the rule of Bardonia. They attempted to eradicate the Pazists way of life by suppressing their language and cultural traditions, and later began using Pazist Sacred Grounds for the construction of a grand Naval Base. By the time of the Empire's collapse, the damage was done. The Native population was dwindling, even with the Natives returning to the islands. Many of their cultural traditions were lost to time, but some are being reclaimed. Much of the culture today is derived from Bardonian Colonization and Huitcan influence following their vassalization on April 10th, 2022.

Religion
Legend goes that Paz spoke to leader loco since he was a hateful man that needed guidance. Paz the divine golden axolotl spoke to him saying “My grand child you need to see the light. I’m the one true god. If you want peace you must find it” with locos grand vision he set off from his town Mithusu in search of a island… This island had a old ruin from a broken castle… this island was apart of an empire. The bardonian empire after settling calling it home he wanted to spread this peace and fulfillment from this new divine god. Of peace and love…. So he founded that Pazist church and the beginning of Pazism
