Fengęden

Fengęden is a country in the southwestern part of West Ad-Këɣas. It's a member of the Köz Union and is its founding member. Fengęden is the second-largest country both in Kagef and the Köz Union, with a population of approx. 42,863,000 people, including the disputed territory of Kǫben.

Geography
Most of Fengęden lies on the mountainous and ore-rich mainland, with most of Fengęden being in the Fengę Mountains. Southeast of Kügëfer, the terrain begins to change to grasslands. Oddly enough, Kügëfer itself lies near one of the highest mountains in Fengęden.

Climate
The climate in Fengęden varies greatly because of its immense area: there can be up to +35 in summer in Felët and -20 in the coldest regions of Nöl.

History
Before the establishment of the KU, Fengęden was inhabited by various tribes, the largest of these being Qatłi near the peninsula, Xōzbīþ in the southern islands, Āj near Kügë and Köz throughout all of Fengęden. The pre-Union history is uncertain since it's known only by myths that have changed over the years and therefore aren't a reliable source.

In 3 BE, Gār II of Nöl, a Köz king, started to conquer the territories to the southeast of Nöl, and three years later, when most of (modern) Fengęden and a part of Ekëtöd was under Gār's control, Ārek, the Eastern Köz king, decided to join Gār. The first Köz Union occupied most of Fengęden and Ekëtöd, with the exception of Bārku and Southern Islands and the Āj lands in the north.

In 1081, Xārǫk XI, became King of Fengęden. He was a bad king and his reign didn't last long: in 1085, a rebellion began, led by Ārek Kambāt. In 1088, the rebels finally managed to depose the king and establish a republic. As Užip III, the Ekët king, maintained good relations with the Nêmpi (the last royal family of Fengęden) and now they had no influence, Užip declared a war on the nascent republican Fengęden. Thus began the seventh Köz War.

Language
The official language is Fengęmer, a Köz language, which is also the most spoken. Varðinekvas and Ekëtmer are recognized minority languages.

Ethnicity
87% of Fengęden's inhabitants are ethnically Fengę. The two largest (and more or less significant) minority groups are Ekët and Varði, with 7% and 1,3% respectively. The proportion of first-language speakers is roughly the same.

Religion
Most of Fengęden's inhabitants practice Bedöl, the Köz religion, in one form or another, and less than 1% practice the Enüt, the Āj religion.
