[[Metzetta]] is a country in East [[Alshar]], ruled by an [[Emperor of Metzetta|Emperor]], with its capital in [[Hanzeong]]. The language is [[Metzi]] and the currency is the [[Metzettan Won]]. In OOC terms it is based most closely on Korea with elements of other countries thrown in to prevent it being a complete copy-paste job. Metzetta was neutral during the First Great War and joined the side of the allies a year into the Second Great War.

Prior to the [[Nysdran Collapse]] which connected the Nysdra Sea to the [[Ocean of Cathay]], Atavia was a highland region which archaeologists believe was heavily settled by prehistoric Cronans due to its advantageous, defensible position, though little is known about these peoples. Human habitation continued on the island immediately following its becoming an island, but archaeologists believe these groups died off or departed for the mainland. Within the historical record, Atavia has been the home of many different types of peoples, most of whom being transient groups of fishermen who would settle on the island for the season and depart. Permanent settlement of the island began around 1300 AD, and it was largely self governing until its conquest by the [[Algosh]] in [[1903]]. The island remained largely isolated until the late 20th century, when it began to modernize due to increased interaction with nearby [[New Yustona]]. The island was seized from [[Algoquona]] by [[Urcea]] in 2024 with restoration of local control and traditions being a top priority of the [[Government of Urcea]] following a century of Algosh rule. The island is home to a [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]] base which will be the largest in the [[Nysdra Sea]] region.
[[:Category:Metzettans|Metzettans]]


== Etymology ==
[[:Category:Istroyan Games|Istroyan Games]]


The word Atavia is thought to be a corruption of the neighboring [[List_of_peoples_of_Cusinaut#Q-T|Tonawandis]] term "''o'dwadagwehde'he't''", which means a flat object or an object made flat. Accordingly, the name for the island began as an {{wp|exonym}}, though due to the transient historical nature of the island's population no native name for the place is known, if any ever existed. "Atavia" developed from colonists of [[New Yustona]] in the late 19th century trading and interacting with the Tonawandis people. The island, if it appeared on maps at all prior to 1850, was typically just referred to as "Nysdra" on most [[Occidental]] maps.

== History ==
[[:Category:Education in Metzetta|Education in Metzetta]]


The majority of historians and archaeologists believe that Atavia was relatively heavily populated by humans in the era just prior to the [[Nysdran Collapse]], though the extent of settlement and level of technological sophistication of these peoples has been a matter of scholarly debate. A growing number of scholars believe that the residents of the island, previously a highland, had achieved rudimentary developments in agriculture, though urbanization and specialization had yet to take place among these peoples. Evidence of extremely rudimentary agriculture-adjacent equipment, as well as depictions of what are likely agriculture in cave paintings give credence to this theory. The earliest peoples of Atavia constructed {{wp|Dolmen|burial dolmens}} which became objects of spiritual fascination to later residents of the island. Atavia was soon depopulated after the Nysdran Collapse as the highland became an island, and most scholars believe that the climatological changes that produced the Collapse also disrupted local agriculture. These scholars believe that the early agricultural practice was delicate enough to be totally destroyed by small shifts in climate. Due to the Collapse, most of the previously freshwater fish of the inland [[Nysdra Sea]] died off, and no fish or wildlife were immediately available around Atavia until antiquity. Accordingly, the island was barren of human life for much of the period until 200 BC. As saltwater fish had become plentiful by the 3rd century BC and the peoples of [[Cusinaut]] had become skilled, generational fishermen, Atavia became an attractive place to base seasonal fishing expeditions out of. Beginning in around 150 BC, the island was host to large transient groups of fishermen and their families who would remain for the summer before departing back to Cusinaut for the remainder of the year. Oral histories and archaeological evidence suggest that some attempts at permanent settlement were made on the island, but many of these were in fact groupings of the sick and injured left behind by seasonal work forces. Many small, permanent villages were established on the island around 500 AD, but these largely existed alongside the seasonal fishing expeditions and are mostly believed to have had good relations for the expeditions or even having played a support role in some fashion. These villages, never more than 20-50 people, often experienced population growth by means of seasonal groups leaving those behind who were unable to travel, establishing the basis for an extremely diverse culture on the island. Many scholars believe even the residents of these villages even occasionally returned to the mainland for the villages to be settled by others. The first truly permanent settlements on the island are thought to have been established around 1300 AD. The Atani people, as they became known in the west, retained the diverse characteristics of the earlier settlers of the island, with the population being a heterogenous ethnic and linguistic mix of people from across [[Cusinaut]] and as far as [[Shenendehowa Bay]] and the [[Quetzenkel|Quetzen cities]]. The largest wave of settlers to the island came with the onset of the {{wp|Little Ice Age}} in the 17th century, as during winter the island could be reached on foot over the frozen straits during the winter.
[[:Category:Geography of Metzetta|Geography of Metzetta]]


The "high period" of Atani culture existed from about 1700 to 1900 as the population of the island continued to grow, adapting diverse linguistic and cultural traditions from the various people who settled or were left behind on the island. The Atani developed advanced and intricate architectural and artistic achievements using whale bones, which became the preferred target of fishing expeditions due to nascent trade with the [[Occident]]. While many of these structures were simple, sturdy huts, some large and elaborate halls with whalebone archways were also constructed. During this time, the rapidly developing Atani culture developed a complex theology within [[M'acunism]] relating to the dolmens and other indicators of ancient settlement on the island. Small numbers of domesticated animals were also introduced to the island via trade during this period, transforming much of the hinterlands of the flat island into grazing land for newly emergent semi-nomadic tribes. The Atani culture of this time had no unified polity but rather a sometimes-competing, sometimes-collaborating network of ten to thirty different tribes and confederations of villages. Keuka began to emerge at the preeminent fishing village around 1750, with the Head Man of the Village being recognized as some sort of first among equals by other villages as of 1800. The island and its constituent units were not members of the [[Northern Confederation]] but largely functioned within its sphere.

Atavia's economy is primarily centered around fishing. As fishing boats and methods have become increasingly advanced on the island, support industries - such as boat mechanics and even some limited retail locations for fishing tools and paraphernalia - have begun to grow around it. Besides fish, Atavia's main export is what could be described as "cultural oddities", products specific to the Atani people and their traditions such as whale bone horns, miniature sized dolmens which have become popular in [[Urcea]] as {{wp|paper weights}} and desktop decoration, and other similar items which serve both as functional products as well as souvenirs. Construction is increasingly becoming the largest industry on the island as the [[Urcean military]] has been constructing bases all along the island. It is estimated that the service economy adjacent to the [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]] base on the island will be the largest portion of the economy by 2050.

A small number of unassimilated [[Algosh]] people remain on the island, and they have been the victim of frequent discrimination and attacks by the native Atani people since [[Urcea]] took control of the island. The majority of these people are being voluntarily repatriated to the [[Algosh Republic]], though some have elected to stay.

The indigenous Atani peoples practice a regional variation of [[M'acunism]] which developed around the ancient burial grounds and prehistoric {{wp|Dolmen|dolmens}} present throughout the island. Atani M'Acunists, who make up essentially the entire population of the island, believe that the dolmens are the houses of all Kānenaka and that the island, accordingly, is the earthly paradise on which the earth goddess Makuahine was born and may one day return. The notion of the return of Makuahine is extremely controversial among the people of the island, and many scholars believe the belief was influenced by early [[Occidental]] traders and missionaries to the island who preached the messianic return of {{wp|Jesus Christ}} at the end of time. Approximately 60% of the islanders believe in an earthly return whereas 40% believe that, given enough sacrifices, Makuahine will allow the island to be restored to its state of paradise without any further {{wp|eschatalogical}} significance. The divide between the so-called "returnists" and "paradisists" represents the main religious groups on the island.
April 3 - April 9 (Third panel) ('''Foreman''')
 
The [[Catholic Church]] has almost no presence on the island, with just 321 permanent islanders being adherents of the faith, though the Church has been making inroads within Atani society in recent years and significant Church infrastructure being built on the island due to the growing presence of the [[Urcean military]].

The mixed heritage of Atani culture has produced an eclectic musical culture reflecting its mixed origins. While most music and songs of the Atani people are songs known on the mainland of [[Cusinaut]] with little to some regional variation, Atani culture has a long tradition of unorthodox instruments made from whale bones and other sea-related instruments such as shells. In recent years, Atavia has become a popular tourist destination for prominent [[Urcea|Urcean]] recording artists who bring in many of the best known Atani musicians to feature in their songs using unique instruments. Since the Urcean capture of the island in 2024, many Atani craftsmen have been producing instruments at increased rates, not only including their own native instruments for export but also typical [[Occidental]] instruments using local materials and craftsmanship. Atani-crafted guitars with whale bone accents have become a highly sought after item in [[Music in Urcea|Urcean musical circles]] and are becoming extremely fashionable in [[Levantia]].

Metzetta is a country in East Alshar, ruled by an Emperor, with its capital in Hanzeong. The language is Metzi and the currency is the Metzettan Won. In OOC terms it is based most closely on Korea with elements of other countries thrown in to prevent it being a complete copy-paste job. Metzetta was neutral during the First Great War and joined the side of the allies a year into the Second Great War. Do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to work on some joint lore for our nations.
