==Etymology==

Kelekona has been considered rather controversial amongst the indigenous Kelekonese population due to it not only being an {{wp|exonym}} brought upon by a foreign power, but also because it suggests that Kelekona is a nation-state as the main ethnic group of the country is known in Ænglish as the Kelekonese people. As such, there have been numerous proposals to form a committee to change Kelekona's name to an {{wp|endonym}} to more properly reflect that it is a multiethnic indigenous Cronan state and to effectively separate the nation from its past as a Varshani tributary state, especially after the occupation of Varshan ever since the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. However, due to the fact that the Kelekonese government has been prioritizing the consolidation of its control over the entirety of the nation through a very slow and arduous process of recovery from its current dismal state of abject poverty and devastation, these proposals have never been able to come to fruition.

To its north and west, Kelekona shares parts of a mountain range with its neighbors [[Titechaxha]] and [[Varshan]]. It is home to [[Mount Kinichu]], the highest point in Kelekona and is the ancestral home to the Kinichuyupi people. The second-largest mountain in Kelekona, located in the western range, is known as [[Mount Pachakutiq]], named after Kelekonese revolutionary and founding father [[Inti Pachakutiq Taytakawsaylliaqta]]. Both mountains hold the record for the highest amounts of snowfall in the country as average temperatures tend to be below 20 degrees Celsius, and are generally more sparsely-populated compared to the flatlands and the areas near the Innis river with Machaku being the sole city in the northern mountain range.

Kelezuno would not get directly involved in any of the Bush Wars until 1964 when the Kelezunese economy collapsed due to the importation of higher-quality foodstuffs from Arcerion. Seeking revenge against this perceived slight towards them, and fearing that inaction may incur the wrath of Varshan, Kelezuno began to send aid to the [[Free Telekoni People's Movement]], a Telekonese left-wing nationalist movement operating in the Innis River basin. As the Arcer economy expanded even further with the opening of a major shipping port in the Arcer city of Oakham, so too did Kelezuno's support and funding for the Telekonese insurgents as they attacking Arcer farmers and rail lines. Neighboring [[Tietechaxha]] soon joined in on the opportunity to cripple and damage the Arcer economy, leading to a sharp rise in not just attacks against farms and rail infrastructure, but also government buildings and key civil infrastructure. Soon, Kelezuno began to prop up a second insurgent group, the [[Kelezuni Militia for the Liberation of Indigenous Peoples]], and had began to send aid and funding to indigenous movements in Arcerion such as the [[Free Indigenous Army]], the [[Movement for the Liberation of Aboriginals]], and the [[Riverland Workers' Party]]. Initially, these insurgencies had scored multiple victories thanks to the Arcer military undergoing austerity measures in the mid-1960s, but the tide had eventually turned and by late September of 1975, Kelezuno had ceased all aid and funding to these insurgent groups and had dissolved the KMLIP. Just four days later, Kelezuno had passed the [[Act of Abjuration]] on 2 October, formally declaring independence and ending nearly four centuries of servitude under Varshan and abolishing the Varshani-originated monarchy in the newly-independent state.

Kelekona has nine recognized ethnic groups in the country, all of which are represented approximately in proportion to the amount of people they have in the 100-member Council of Nobles, but only seven of them have their own ethnic homelands. The largest of the nine recognized ethnic groups are the [[Kelekonese people|Kelekonese]], known to themselves as the ''Mayukimsaruna'' ("Tri-river people"); so-called due to their traditional homeland being located between the Innis River, the Cochrane River, and one of the branches of the Innis River Basin. The second-largest ethnic groups are the ethnic Varshani peoples, descendants of the former ruling bureaucracy of the tributary state of Kelezuno and, more recently, Deluge refugees; they are known by Kelekona's six indigenous groups as ''Jawaruna'' ("Foreigners") or more derogatively as ''Nunat'irachakakuna'' ("Soul-pullers") in reference to the long-time Arzalist practice of human sacrifices. The [[Telekonese people|Telekonese]], known locally as ''Uchuytarakunaruna'' ("Little islands people"), make up the third-largest ethnic group in Kelekona, and primarily reside in the coastal and insular southern regions of Kelekona.

The vast majority of Kelekonese citizens are of the [[North Songun civilization#Religion|Nahibian]] faith, an indigenous faith that is commonly said to have been single-handedly established by its namesake the Maktalinese priest-king Nahibe, but more recent scholarship have debated this and have since explained that much of the framework behind the Nahibian faith was more likely to have been the work of multiple prophets and priests over the span of several decades. Historically, Nahibianism was the primary religion of the North Songun civilization and of northern Crona during the years of North Songunese hegemony, but when the North Songun civilization collapsed by the 16th Century it was soon overtaken by the [[Arzalist]] faith from Varshan, specifically its [[Orthodox Arzalism|orthodox]] sect. It would not be until the 19th Century when Nahibianism would experience a revival, soon growing from a holdout in northern Kelezuno to becoming the largest religion in the country as well as in neighboring [[Titechaxha]].

A sizeable minority of Kelekonese identify as irreligious, meaning that they have no religious affiliations whether because they were not raised in a particularly religious household or because they have rejected religion altogether. The rise of irreligiosity began in the 1980s during the socialist era, and the abject devastation and chaos of subsequent eras have led to more people to renounce religion entirely. Following the irreligious are a group of people of varying faiths that do not comprise of a significant amount of people to be given their own separate categories, most often people living in small, {{wp|Protestant}} missions.

Kelekona's culture is as diverse as its ethnic diversity. Although there exists commonalities amongst the North Songunese-descent cultures such as religion, certain traditions, and heritage, the primary locations of these particular cultures within Kelekona have given them certain variations beyond just the common North Songunese-descent culture. The ''[[Kinichuyuruna people|Kinichuyuruna]]'' people, for example, are a primarily mountainous culture and thus much of their unique traditions and practices revolve around the winter and the coming of snow; their homeland also happens to be home to the sole intact North Songun Nahibian temple in all of Kelekona, so they are often considered to be the most traditionalistic and conservative out of all of the extant North Songunese cultures due to them often having the most well-preserved artifacts from era of the North Songun civilization.

The most modernized of the North Songunese-descent cultures that have not diverged heavily thanks to extremely close contact with Occidental-descent people are the [[Kelekonese people|Kelekonese]] people. Historically, the Kelekonese people once made up the ruling classes of the North Songun civilization, and it is their variety of the North Songunese languages that has had the great linguistic influence over the other North Songunese languages; the Kelekonese language has served as the basis for the ''[[T'inkirunasimi language|T'inkirunasimi]]'' language, a 19th Century attempt at standardizing the North Songunese languages. Because they were often the ruling classes of the North Songun civilization, they were, and still are in many cases, most often the wealthiest and most developed out of all the North Songunese-descent cultures.

Education in Kelekona is the responsibility of the regions, which determine the school curriculum for the schools under their jurisdiction. The school system for each state is highly dependent on the majority culture and religion of a given region; this often leads to variation in how long a student must stay in the school system and when the student graduates. For example, in most regions that are of a majority North Songunese-descent culture and the majority of the populace adhere to Nahibianism, everyone is required to be in school at age three and are mandated to stay in the school system for seventeen years until they graduate at age twenty. These indigenous school systems are generally aligned with the Kelekonese concept of ''kawsayruwanakuna" and each school level is determined by the student's life stage (e.g. secondary schools cover the entirety of the ''malta'' stage of a person's life).
