'''Rumahoki''', officially the '''Most Serene Sovereignty of Rumahoki''' (Latin: ''Serenissima Dominatio Rumahociae''; Pelaxian: ''Serenísima Soberanía de Rumajoqui''; Reform Tainean: ''Serenisim Sauberanetas des Roumahauki''), is a {{wp|sovereign state|sovereign country}} located in eastern [[Vallos]]. It shares a land border with [[Takatta Loa]] in the southwest, [[Vallejar]] in the south, [[Almadaria]] in the west, the [[Caphiria|Caphirian]] exclave of [[Vespera]] in the north, and it shares a maritime border with the [[Cartadania|Cartadanian]] state of [[Porta Bianca]] in the northeast and [[Puertego]] in the southeast. Its coastline runs throughout the [[Taínean Sea]]. Like its neighbours, Rumahoki is a megadiverse nation boasting one of the highest biodiversity across the biomes within it. The Rumahokian economy is a {{wp|mixed economy}} with elements of {{wp|tripartism}} and {{wp|dirigism}} with most public services (most notably healthcare, electricity, and mass public transport) being controlled by the government. However, private industries are permitted to operate in most other sectors such as telecommunications, shipping, and retail.

"Rumahoki" originated from antiquity as a term meaning "earthly paradise" in the eastern dialects of the [[Tainean language]].

The meaning behind this term is currently debated upon, but it may have had its origins in the [[Heaven Ships]] which has been noted to be how the [[Taineans]] migrated to [[Vallos]] after being forced out of [[Crona]] by the [[North Songun civilization|North Songun civilisation]]. Much like [[Arona]], the name may be in reference to the favourable sea and weather conditions enjoyed by the people living there. | ||

Society for the early [[Vallosi people|Vallosi]] who have become sedentary was primarily agricultural, reaching to about forty percent by the year [[2000 BC]]. As indigenous Vallosi society developed, they would eventually reach their apex with the rise of the [[Glaistic civilization|Glaistic civilisation]], so-called due to [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|ancient Istroyan]] texts about the supposed hostility and savagry of the Vallosi people. Some of the more well-known examples of Glaistic culture include so-called "shark pottery", named as such due to the use of shark teeth and bones as a crafting material while at the same time depicting shark-related motifs on pottery, and their widespread usage of masks, one of the most common archaeological finds across Vallos from that time period. The Glaistic civilisation reached its peak at around [[1800 BC]], not long before the arrival of the [[Polynesians]] and later arrival of the first [[Heaven Ships]] from [[Crona]]. However, the Glaistic civilisation, at this point classified as 'later Glaistic civilisation' due to foreign innovations, co-existed with these groups for centuries to come. | ||
Archaeological evidence aside, virtually nothing is known about the indigenous Vallosi. Thanks to the lack of technological development and the lack of a proper writing system, the indigenous Vallosi culture was eventually lost through assimilation, intermarriage, and colonisation, thus leading to a near-total displacement. The average Rumahokian may have as much as less than ten percent DNA from the indigenous Vallosi according to genetic studies made in the year [[1997]]. | Archaeological evidence aside, virtually nothing is known about the indigenous Vallosi or the Glaistic civilisation.
