The Dze

The Dze Confederation (Old Dze: Dzetśaqto ['d͡zet͡sʼaqtɔ]), more technically known as The Third Dze Confederation, (Old Dze: Ŋ́keq́dzetśaqto ['ŋ̊keqʼd͡zet͡sʼaqtɔ]), also named the Nujun Confederation (Old Dze: Nujuntśaq ['nujunt͡sʼaq]), and sometimes colloquially known as Dzeia, is a medium-sized nation located in north-east Tengerina with no land neighbours. It covers an area of --- square kilometres (--- square miles) with a population nearly 9 million. It is a relatively unknown nation due to it's technological level and isolation from most of the modern countries on the planet. Sitting at the northern reaches of the Arctic sea, the water currents from the ice caps to its north are some of the roughest in the northern hemisphere. Famous for its unique and very diverse wildlife, it is the only place known so far where Haplokariotes and Polykariotes can be found.

The territory of the modern Confederation seems to be one of the oldest continuous inhabited places on the planet, having remained isolated from the events that befell the surrounding lands due to its geography and isolated positioning, not being of high strategic importance to other, more advanced, civilizations until modern technology enabled more safe travel around the Wintry Bight. The lands of the Dze Confederation have archaeological evidence of a distinctive techno-cultural presence since at least 110,000 B.C, belonging to the Ŋ́ynƚaq culture industry, a Middle Paleolithic industrial complex, whose makers inhabited the mountainous central regions of the country which seems to have mostly been located in the Eastern Range until about 50,000 B.C when they began to expand alongside the hills towards the coast and the west as the culture splintered. They were characterized by their elaborate leaf shaped flint tools; later during the Late Neolithic Dze Collapse the Dze dispersed once more and later coalesced into several chalcolithic cultures, culminating in the Flower Stirrup culture which kickstarted the Dze Bronze Age by 10,000 B.C. At around 8,000 B.C there is archaeological, and later written, evidence for the arrival of four distinct human groups, the Longplow, Broadaxe, Highstone and Red Arrow cultures; after these arrivals it seems the dze quickly began to coalesce into more organized societies during The Invasions, an event happening around 8,000-7,500 B.C which triggered the formation of the First Confederation due to the seemingly violent incursions into Dze territory by the former three cultures. The subsequent near 10,000 year long conflicts culminated in the rise of the Third Confederation in the late 16th century AR and the fall of human invaders barely more than a decade later.

Around 97% of the population is nomadic or semi-nomadic, with only certain human ethnic groups retaining a settled lifestyle, and around the same amount of people follow one of the various traditions of Tx̣ex̣uq, the predominant religion. Over 97% of the population belong to the Dze species with a very small human minority who are mostly concentrated in the west and south of the country.
