Naiparku (IPA: [na.i.paɾ.ˈku]), officially the Federal Estates of Naiparėku (Namono: 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 located off the eastern shore of the mainland, between the Great Salt Channel and the Great Salt Ocean, to the northeast of Yoxixano and Ganamallazo Provinces of Acúqúwara. Largely tropical and under constant influence of the easterly winds, Naiparku enjoys humid and warm weather all year round. Its territory consists of two major islands, Yanyuhoshe and Rėpayu, plus around ten minor islands, with Rėpayu being the largest and most populated one. It has a total land area of 670,807 square kilometers (259,000 square miles), and a mostly rural population of 740,000.

As its official name suggests, Naiparku is governed as a federation of aristocratic estates, with its federal capital in Karakankėm, the country's political and cultural center; other major cities include Orohapan, Dominu and Hwosgash. The inhabitants of Naiparku mostly belong to the Nahmon species, and most speak the Namono language​. Although it has never been a major regional power, Naiparku maintains good ties with its two closest nations, Acúqúwara and Woobia.

Free movement agreement with Acúqúwara
Ever since the beginning of history, Naiparku have been in close contact with the Yoxixano and Ganamallazo Provinces of Acúqúwara, and migrations among these islands have been frequent due to their proximity. In Year X SFC. Naiparku and Acúqúwara signed a treaty to officially allow free movement between the two territories, as well as right to settle down and to conduct businesses for all inhabitants of Naiparku and the two Acúqúwara provinces.

Spice trade with Woobia
In the first decade SFC, Naiparkuans started attempts to export spices (nutmegs, mace and cloves; ginger, turmeric, cardamom and galangal) to Woobia, but was initially met with lackluster reactions: in reality, they found no use for the spices in powdered form due to their underwater lifestyle. After some negotiations, Naiparku agreed to export the spices in unprocessed form, in exchange for precious metals such as gold, silver and iron. This was temporarily undermined by the Spice Scandal in Year X SFC, after which foreign trust in Naiparkuan spices plummeted: it was only after the intensive advertising campaign led by the new Federal Chancellor Yapanidi Argoran following the Argoran Coup that foreign confidence in Naiparkuan spices was reinstated, and that the spice trade resumed.

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.

Location and borders
Naiparku is situated between latitudes 11.2° and 24° N. It lies to the east of the Great Salt Channel (Namono: Hoshunaryėm, "Interior Sea") and on the western edge of the Great Salt Ocean (Namono: Hosunahwo, "Exterior Sea"). Located in the seas southwest to Naiparku are the islands of Yoxixano (Namono: Kiyogopin, "Southern Pearl") and Ganamallazo, which are province of Acúqúwara.

Geology, topography and hydrography
The topography is overall low and flat: the Gakawat River, which originates from the Sun Lake (Vayėtatror), flows through the middle of the Rėpayu Island into the Great Salt Channel on the western shore.

Climate
Naiparku has a largely tropical climate, under constant influence of the easterly oceanic winds, and is overall humid and warm all year round. The northwestern half of Rėpayu receives less precipitation than the rest of the island due to the topographic effects of the central mountains.

Flora and fauna
Rattans abound in Naiparku, and palm trees line the southern shore. Naiparku is home to numerous species used for spices, which are not found anywhere else in the world: these include nutmegs, mace and cloves in the inland forests, and ginger, turmeric, cardamom and galangal which grow in seasonal fens (herbaceous-dominant wetland seasonally waterlogged with freshwater).

Government and Politics
Naiparku is a federation of feudal estates, each ruled by a "clique" composed of a handful of aristocratic 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.

Administrative divisions
Naiparku is divided in 39 estates, of which 25 are suzerain estates (all coastal except for estate 30) and 14 are vassal estates. The estates are often informally grouped into 5 regions, each comprising estates with similar environment customs, political situation and history: although the regions have no official administrative or political status, they are often significant in inter-estate internal politics.

The five regions are:


 * Yanyuhoshe - Yanyuhoshe Island
 * Husepazinut - northern Rėpayu
 * Husepainėn - western Rėpayu
 * Vamutgakat - eastern Rėpayu
 * Kwamanoji - southern Rėpayu

Demographics
Most Naiparku inhabitants are of the Nahmon species, which make up about 96% of the total population, within which 2% consists of the Mouriu minority. Other nationalities and/or species make up the rest of the 4%. Nahmon is a humanoid species with some semi-aquatic traits, a predominantly vegetarian diet, and an unusual ovoviviparous reproductive system where the soul is "imbued" into the developing fetus near the end of the incubation period. They are adapted to a wide range of habitats, but preferentially inhabit the wetlands.

Major 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.

Language
Nahmon speaks Namono​, 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).

Exports

 * Unprocessed spice to Woobia
 * Tin to Marafire

Imports

 * Bone weapons, gold, silver and iron from Woobia
 * Unprocessed bones from Marafire (later on)
 * Gold, silver, gemstones and processed food (dried mushrooms, pickled vegetables) from Marafire

Transport
The main mode of transport between Naiparku and other countries and among different estates of Naiparku are boats, with crab claw sails or tanja sails, and of either the double-canoe (catamaran), single-outrigger (on the windward side), double-outrigger or monohull configurations.

The largest Naiparkuan boats are double-outrigger boats with tanja sails (similar to balangays), and can transport around 7000 Kich (13,860 kg) with a crew of up to 70 people. Most boats used for trade, however, transport up to around 3000 Kich (5940 kg) with a crew of 30-40 people: they usually have a length of about (15 m), width of 2 m and a draft of (1 m) when fully loaded.

Length

 * Jiran: around 1.7893 cm (10 Jiran = 1 Ger, 60 Jiran = 1 Hanan) (average width of fingers)

 * Hanan: around 1.0736 m (1 Hanan = 6 Ger = 60 Jiran) (side length of a cube container of 1 Kabi in volume)
 * Upacha: around 2.576 km (1 Upacha = 2400 Hanan)

Volume

 * Ije: around 41.25 mL (30 Ije = 1 Kabi, 900 Ije = 1 Bih)

 * Bih: around 37.125 L (1 Bih = 30 Kabi = 900 Ije)
