This article is about the country in Tiðloten. For the official and majority language of the country, see Fole Enkan (language).

Fole Enkan is an independent country in western Tiðloten. Geographically it stretches from the marshes at the Fole Delta in the west to the beginning of the Tyakte desert in the east, and from the Šelva rise in the south to the Kapta mountains (known as the Wiþi mountains in Covtle) in the north. Politically, it is composed of a unitary single party republic with a highly centralised government in Dyaša.

History

For history prior to establishment of the Republic, see History of the Empire of Enkan.

Year of Revolution

On 11 atawiþi 1995, members of the Dyaša Ytoktya (English: Dyaša People) successfully assassinated Emperor Tyankanošilek 8 and proclaimed themselves liberators of the city. A civil war quickly began between the Ytoktya and the Imperial forces. However, the Imperial forces are believed to have significantly overestimated the numbers of the Ytoktya, and as the fighting continued, alternative claimants to the throne undermined unity in the Imperial forces. The Ytoaktya controlled Fole Enkan by the end of the year.

Šelva Enkan, however, had little presence of the Ytoktya. The government in Zemhhuno declared independence of Šelva Enkan on 2 gemuglu 1995.

War with Šelva Enkan and tightened control

Fole Enkan declared war on the newly independent Šelva Enkan on 2 atawiþi 1996. However, they struggled to muster supplies, and in particular to conscript troops. After multiple failed attempts to take Femrel and Šalva, on 5 baðatrepavi 1996 they signed a ceasefire brokered by Dese Voldo, but did not officially sign a peace treaty. Scholars have debated the interpretation of this following the breakup of Šelva Enkan, however hostilities are yet to resume.

After the war, the governing Ytoktya tightened control of Fole Enkan. Sources vary on what strategies were used, however, by the end of 1997 loyalty was considered to be "very high" according to official reports. The Wiþi empire established Onþod in 1999 due to stated "concerns about developments in Fole Enkan".

Electricity and dragon capture

From 1999 to 2015, the Ytoktya ordered the construction of various devices for electrification of major industries, such as steel production. However, when hydro power on the Fole river failed to provide enough energy, a system of extracting energy in the form of magic from dragons was developed. This system of dragon capture and energy extraction is controversial, due to its treatment of dragons being described as "torturous" and due to the death of dragons. The dragons declared an ongoing war with Fole Enkan in 2015. However, Fole Enkan continued to electrify using dragon energy as a source. By 2023, most homes in Fole Enkan had electrical connections, plus all major industries and the newly constructed railways.

Recent developments

Recent developments in Fole Enkan remain unclear. A new project appears to be under construction in Zankištya, however the nature of the project is unclear. There are several theories on secret Fole Enkan technologies that remain unproven. However, a military buildup has been happening since at least 2041, with implications and goals unclear.

Geography

Mostly open agricultural fields, with pockets of forests in the mountains and along the northwest coast. The roughly east-west Kapta mountains (known as the Wiþi mountains in Covtle) define the northern border. The Fole river flows through the centre of Fole Enkan, from the eastern edge to the Enkan ocean.

Climate

Mostly hot-summer mediterranean (Csa), with warm-summer mediterranean (Csb) along the coast. Land to the east of Dyaša has an arid climate.

Languages

Fole Enkan is spoken throughout. Classical Fole Enkan, once a popular language among aristocrats and the Universal Temple, is now banned in Fole Enkan.
