Ogonkai
Ogonkai, officially the Council of Ogonkai or the Ogonkaic Council, is a country in northern Audonia. To the west and south, it is bordered by Jazee, Kandara and Ankivara. To the east, it is bordered by Wonjin and Ugioh. It comprises an area of 1,303,126km2 (503,104 sq mi) spread among its main continental landmass with hundreds of islands. Ogonkai has a population of 24 million, standing among the least populated nations in the continent. The nation's capital, Minakyo, is its most populated city with an estimated population of three million. Other major hubs include Aoyama, Kinhara, Yamatake and Sugihara. Divided among 11 districts and 3 special territories, roughly half of Ogonkai's territory is extremely mountainous, concentrating its highly urbanized population and robust industry to its coastal areas and major islands.

While the territory that now comprises Ogonkai has historically been sparsely settled with major population centers concentrating south in Daxia and its neighboring territories, the first of many migrations towards Ogonkai's territory commenced roughly 13,000 years ago, with evidence of the first human habitation dating back to 20,000 years ago. The small fiefdoms that would become the modern-day districts of Ogonkai began crystallizing into fully-fledged separate realms in 991, with the forming of the first Aokyō kingdom.
Following a brief period of unified control from the city of Kinhara, the eleven kingdoms returned to being separate entities ruled by their own local lords until first contact with the Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth forced the kingdoms into trading and unifying with one another. The Charter of Unity was signed by the lords of the eleven realms in 1690 and was followed by an economic and population boom, consolidation of the newly-established upper class, forming of a cohesive national identity, and voluminous trade with both the Commonwealth and emerging Tierradoan trading companies.
Following the dissolution of the Commonwealth, Ogonkai instaurated a policy of national isolation, termed "heiwakoku", avoiding the conflicts that rocked the world at the time that lasted up to the start of the First Great War. The end of the period of isolation was followed by rapid modernization and staunch neutrality in the First and Second great wars. The rapid post-war economic boom precipitated a series of controversial anti-monarchic revolts that in 1974 culminated in the Itchou Revolutions, resulting in the replacement of the Charter of Unity with the current Chart of Solidarity that has remained in effect ever since.
Presently, Ogonkai is a federal directorial republic, in which the power to create laws and administrate the country is jointly exercised by the representatives of the eleven districts (collectively the National Council). While Ogonkai boasts high standards of living and a vibrant economy, the nation struggles with high rates of inequality, discrimination (especially affecting its non-ethnic Ogonkaic citizens), an stagnated political atmosphere and corruption. Internationally, Ogonkai is renowned for its global cultural footprint; Ogonkai's globally influential culture is present in its pervasive animation, art, music and videogame industries.
