Naiparku [na.i.paɾ.ˈku], officially the Federal Duchy of Naiparėku (Namon: Gabonjiri au Naiparėkuheshir; IPA: [ga.bɔn.dʒi.ˈɾi a.ˈu na.i.pa.ɾə.ku.ˈhe.ʃiɾ], literally "Federation of Aristocratic Naiparėku"), is a small insular country off the eastern shore of the mainland, located between the Great Salt Channel and the Great Salt Ocean, to the northeast of the Gawena and Yoxixano Provinces of Acuquwara. It has a total land area of 670,807 square kilometers (259,000 square miles) and a population of 740,000. Under constant influence of the easterly winds, Naiparku is humid and warm all year round. Its territory consists of two islands, Yanyuhoshe and Rėpayu, which Rėpayu being the larger one and where most of the population live (610,000). The inhabitants mostly belong to the Nahmon species, and speak the Namono language​.

Geography
The topography is overall low and flat: the Gakawat River flows through the middle of the Rėpayu Island into the sea on the western shore.

In Namono, the Great Salt Channel is called AAA and the Great Salt Ocean is called BBB. Naiparkuans also have Namono names for the two small islands north of Naiparku: CCC and DDD, as well as for the Yoxixano Island of Acuquwara: EEE.

Largest cities
The capital of Naiparku is Karakankėm, located on the southeastern coast of the Rėpayu Island. The second largest city in Naiparku is Orohapan, a port city consisting of two narrow strips of land along the estuary of Gakawat River. Two other main cities are Dominu located on the northern coast of the Rėpayu Island, and Hwosgash located on the southwestern side of the Yanyuhoshe Island.

Demographics
The inhabitants of Naiparku, Nahmon [ˈna.mɔn], are a humanoid species that nevertheless possesses some semi-aquatic traits: they have retractable webs between their three fingers and toes, and are mostly hairless. Nahmon has a predominantly vegetarian diet: no animal husbandry is practiced and only small aquatic invertebrates and fishes are captured and consumed, usually raw.

Reproduction is perhaps the most unique aspect of Nahmon biology. They reproduce through a form of ovovivparity: the embryo is first conceived in the mother's body for about two months, then they construct an "embryo shell" through secretion while laying the fetus for its protection. The fetus is incubated within the shell for about another 11 months before "imbuement", where its soul is created and transferred to the fetus by its mother during a one-month process, during which the embryo completes its development at an exceptionally fast rate before finally bursting out of the shell as a young infant. The embryo shell is sturdy and resistant to desiccation and predator attacks, however most still prefer to lay their embryos in the wetland, their favorite original habitat. Nahmons are renowned for their stealth and agility: those are their main assets against foreign attackers and predators, which are admittedly not numerous, except for the fearful carnivorous dolphins that live in the Great Salt Channel, and sharks that roam the high sea in the Great Salt Ocean.

Language
Nahmon speaks Namono​ [na.mɔ.ˈno], a largely analytic language with a head-initial and VSO word order. There are three word classes: positive, negative and neutral, with the two former mainly applying to verbs and adjectives. There are four numbers in pronouns: singular, dual, plural and collective) in pronouns. Clusivity is distinguished, as are medial and distal deixes. Two unique features of Namono are that 1) there is a handful of basic verbs whose positive and negative forms are completely unrelated, and 2) there are no specific color terms: all the colors are expressed using analogy with other objects ordinarily possessing that color. Nahmon people believe that this actually makes expressing color more flexible and nuanced.

Four main dialect branches exist: western (centered around Orohapan), eastern (centered around Karakankėm), northern (centered around Dominu), and insular (centered around Zinurpaja).

Magic
Nahmon's magic system mostly revolves around their ability to "imbue" spirits into developing embryos: under exceptional circumstances, they can transfer another person's spirit through imbuement into a developing embryo, thereby achieving a kind of rejuvenescence/immortality. Even more rarely, spirits of other species can also be transferred into a Nahmon embryo, creating a form of hybrid, which usually also inherits some physical traits of the donor species. Only females who have recently lain embryos temporarily possess this ability, and it is an energy-consuming process: usually a handful of male mates are by their side during the process to ensure constant supply of nutrition. Any individual possesses a certain bond to their mother who imbued their spirit, and through some training and meditating telekinesis can be achieved, allowing them to communicate without verbal language.

Government and Politics
Naiparku is a federation divided into X aristocratic district, each ruled by a "clique" composed of a handful of individuals, in most cases coming from prominent family or respected seniors. Each aristocratic clique elects one deputy to sit on the Federal Council, where one is elected to preside the Council as the Federal Chancellor. Each Federal Chancellor presides for one year maximum, but there are no duration limits for the deputies and members of the aristocratic cliques.

The preposition debate
Is the full name of Naiparku Gabonjiri au Naiparėkuheshir ("Federation of [belonging to] Aristocratic Naiparėku") or Gabonjiri kak Naiparėkuheshir  ("Federation by [the hands of] Aristocratic Naiparėku")? This seemingly trivial question has plagued Naiparkuan politics for centuries.
