Tubant (Tubantese: Ytømmóvi /ytøˈmːʌvi/) is a country in northwestern Europe. It borders France, Germany, and the North Sea. Tubant consists of five Gïvédeféppivé (singular Gïvédefé): Kasa, Ekino, Ukophini, Maku, and Nunisaki, as well as 51 puwappova across all five Gïvédeféppivé.
History
editThe history of Tubant is not extremely well documented, because almost all documents that were written before December 1733 were burned in the Great Fire of Ïpu.
Government
editGïvédeféppivé
editThe word Gïvédefé describes a level of government similar to the four countries in the United Kingdom, but each has more freedom on the federal level. Each Gïvédefé has its regional differences, dialects, and characteristics, but all five come together as a whole to represent Tubantese culture on the European and global stage.
Kasa
editKasa (/ˈka.sa/) has an area of 24,920 km2 (9,622 mi2), and an estimated population of 5,963,145 as of 2020. Its density is 239.30/km2. There are eight puwappova in Kasa. An extremely large proportion (56.4%) is the Ïpu Metropolitan Area's 3.364 million [that is in Kasa]. Ïpu is the largest city in Kasa, as well as the largest in the country.
Ukophini
editUkophini (/u.koˈfi.ni/) has an area of 41,804 km2 (16,141 mi2), and an estimated population of 18,544,809 as of 2020. Its density is 443.61/km2. Ukophini is by far the most powerful, partly because it is the largest in both area and population. However, it is the most powerful mostly because of its access to coastline for trading with other nation-states that it has had for a long time. There are sixteen puwappova in Ukophini.
Ekino
editEkino (/eˈki.no) has an area of 13,619 km2 (5,258 mi2), and an estimated population of 12,816,640 as of 2020. Its density is extreme 941.05/km2. If Ekino was its own country, it would be second only, in the ranking of densities (ignoring city-states and islands), to Bangladesh. Much of Ekino is urban, as it has been consistently the most technologically advanced Gïvédefé for centuries, probably because of the very high density of Ekino. Although it does not have the largest city, it has the largest metropolitan area in the country. The Gï metropolitan area in Central Ekino contains 9,372,472 people in it, a whopping 73.13% of the whole Gïvédefé. It spans an area of 6,750 km2 (2,606 mi2), which is nearly twice the size as the whole Gïvédefé of Nunisaki. This makes its density 1388.51/km2. There are fifteen puwappova in Ekino. All of these are very small because of the density of Ekino.
Maku
editMaku (/ˈmaku/) has an 38,504 km2 (14,866 mi2), and an estimated population of 10,560,385 as of 2020. Its density is 274.27/km2. Although it is not nearly as powerful as Ukophini, Maku still has a lot of control over what goes on in the country. There are eight puwappova in Maku.
Nunisaki
editNunisaki (/nu.niˈsa.ki/) has an area of 3,564 km2 (1,376 mi2), and an estimated population of 639,153 as of 2020. Its density is 179.34/km2. It is the smallest Gïvédefé, as well as the most rural. This makes it often forgotten by the rest of Europe in comparison to the other Gïvédeféppivé, and even by most citizens of Tubant. Nunisaki is often seen as been the odd one out for multiple reasons, such as idealogical differences as well as cultural differences. It is the only Gïvédefé that has been influenced by French culture rather than by German and English culture. There are five puwappova in Nunisaki.
Puwappova
editA puwa (plural puwappova) is a subdivison similar to a county. There are 51 in the country; eight in Kasa, sixteen in Ukophini, fifteen in N'míí, eight in Maku, and five in Nunisaki. Each Puwa has an assigned alphanumerical value to it, a letter followed by a number. They follow the common listed order for Gïvédeféppivé. The numbers repeat and are organized by rough geographical order.

Culture
editManners & Being Polite
editEating
editWhen eating at a restaurant, it is common to split the bill, regardless of how much money each person spent individually. When eating at a friend's house, it is common-place to take small portions, as if you do not finish all that you have taken, it is considered rude.
Naming Conventions
editIn Tubant, names usually follow a first name - father's first name - father's last name - mother's last name order. However, in other languages, that culture's conventions are typically used. For example, Kupĕmøpi Épikemi Milu Enitŏnne in English is usually referred to as Coopoemapee Meeloo or Kupĕmøpi Milu. Individual persons may decide how to write a person's name in English. However, many people in Tubant are expressing a wish to have their native name used everywhere.
Tubantese
editTubantese (endonym: Isŏgé /i.ˈsɔ.gɛ/) is an isolate language spoken by around 592 million people as a first language and 212 million as a second language. Most second language speakers are in Brazil or the Indonesian Archipelago, although there are some in South Africa, Namibia, and in immigrants in Tubant. It is the 3rd most spoken language, behind English, and Mandarin Chinese. However, in world trade and commerce, it is sometimes used as a lingua franca. It not expected to pass Mandarin Chinese in the next 50 years, despite the fact that many of the countries where it is spoken are growing quickly in terms of population.
Name
editIn English, the name is just the name of the country of origin (the Republic of Tubant), suffixed with "ese". In Tubantese, it is isŏgé, a portmanteau of isŏ (correct) and égé (language/tongue).

Phonology
editConsonants
editLabial | Alveolar | Velar | Uvular | Glottal | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nasal | m mː | n nː | |||

Sibilant | ɸ ɸː β βː f | ʧ s sː | h | ||
Liquid | ɾ l | w |
Whenever there is a long consonant, it is written as the short consonant doubled. For example, /tː/ ⟨tt⟩, as /t/ is ⟨t⟩. /ɸ β f/ is written as ⟨f v ph⟩. This is because /ɸ/ has a long partner, so if it were to be ⟨ph⟩ and /f/ ⟨f⟩, /ɸː/ would have to be ⟨phph⟩, which scholars decided it would be best not to have. /ʧ/ is ⟨ch⟩, and /q ɢ ʔ/ is ⟨q ǵ '⟩.
