Choman (Ppasaek-eo: 早蔓 pronounced: ) or Apwipakimkink (: ·아՞쀠빡՞임՞낑; pronounced:  ), officially the People's Republic of Choman (Ppasaek-eo: 조만인민꼲와꾹 Choman Inminkonxwakuk; : 早蔓人民共和國; : ·아՞쀠빡՞임՞낑 아՞웬아치물신 Apwipakimkink Awenachimulsin; pronounced:  ) is a  in East Yeongju. It is faces the Mulberry Ocean to the east.

Early civilizations in Choman comprised a distinct branch of the known as the. Tribal life persisted until the late 11th century CE, when the modern-day lands were inofficially conjoined under the negotiations of Chieftess Kitahtene. The Chiefdom was notorious for provoking wars in the immediate region, plundering assets and taking captives, and forcibly them in Chomanese society. Commerce also thrived during that period, which gave rise to the memhalamunt, a merchant. By the early 15th century, it had displaced the Chiefdom, and usurped its rule, manifesting as a mercantile realm led by Empress Wipahkoxuxwet. At its peak, the Empire's robust trade network stretched northwards until modern-day Utendawatase, westwards until modern-day Ahwaimuwu, and southwards to until central Yahuimilco; it also occasionally organized pirate fleets, obstinately disturbing foreign trade along the East Yeongju coast. In the 19th century, Nonyukbeolese forces seized control of the administration of Choman after three colonial wars, but continued to face small-scale insurgencies. They were at their most successful during the Great Eulhae War, when they received partial support from Hachuabsh and managed to reclaim one fourth (¼) of Chomanese land, only to be thwarted through Jeongmian backing. The Nonyukbeolese detachments in Choman were severely undermined at the war's aftermath, and an ultimate rebellion in 1941 led to the decisive withdrawal of Nonyukbeol. In its post-independence years, Choman has witnessed two overthrowals of the republican government; in both occasions led by its national militia, who instate the Communist Party of Choman as the.

Crime is rampant, and incarceration rates are alarmingly high, whereas the government implements. Over the years, this has led to various being imposed against Choman, which have gradually easened due to the leadership's compliance with international demands. Whereas the numbers of in Choman have decreased since the 21st century, internet and media remain heavily censored; thus the country ranks low in.

Government and politics
Superficially, Choman operates a   since its 1945 constitution. In reality however, the civilian government has since the 2002 overthrowal been deposed by the republican militia, which shortly declared a one-year, in order to make amendments to the Constitution in their favor; the Administratory Cabinet (committee of the ) was admonitorily granted the right to permanently. The Communist Party of Choman (CPC) had pledged allegiance to the militia's cause since their first overthrowal in 1962, and has consequently been acting as the "pedestal" for the incumbent government. In Maxkientakishitehe, the 500-seat of Choman, 200 legislators are appointed by the CPC and approved by the Chomanese Armed Forces, whereas the remainder 300 legislators are. Elections in Choman, despite having on spot, are widely believed to be  primarily through beforehand ; average  of 7 million total voters amounts to 94%, whereas the CPC has effectively remained the most voted party since the military government's conception. are regularly solicited just the same, although at the citizens' convenience through on a , which in turn are reportedly manipulated with the  and general tampering. The "Chairman" (: 니까니힏 nikanixit), "Vice Chairman" (알엡՞옴՞엤 alepomes), and "President" (끼따끼마 kitakima) are collectively called the "Concurrent Diligents" (՞뻳아으시՞엔ᄁ ՞낃՞뿔 petawsienk kitpul) in legislature, despite the President having no  political powers.

Military
Choman's armed forces are known as the Petachilchik (: 施軍; : ՞뻳아질직; lit. 'Enforcers'), which number 30,000 active and 50,000. They comprise the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force. The military is very influential in Choman, and the majority of simultaneously hold high-ranking positions in the Communist Party and the Administratory Cabinet. Military expenses are consequently high, and presumed to take up 5.3% of the annual (around 3.436圓 billion). The reserve forces are oftentimes tasked with managing crucial state-owned businesses in place of formal, reportedly in order to make use of. The Navy continues to recklessly hold over Mulberry, despite backlash from the Congress of Nations General Assembly. Choman used to receive extensive military aid from Ambemarivo from 1991 until 2002. Nowadays, Choman imports most of its weapons from Hokan, Kealakekua, Nukigurun, and Yahuimilco. The country is the only self-designated of the Yuhua Alliance, and hosts three Namjan : Hupokan Base, Menaskunk Base, and Takeho Base.

Languages
Native have co-existed in a dialect continuum since Sinjuan late antiquity, with  only emerging as the  in the 15th century. They remained unwritten, until their transcription into the by conventions of different explorers, starting in the 18th century.

Religion
The indigenous religion of Choman (禮義 kentuwe 'rites') is and. It involves a known as Kishelemienk (造物主), who created the world from nothing but his vision. According to the Chomanese, the planet was first wholly ocean. Continents and landmasses only emerged when a select rose to the water's surface and bent its shelly back upwards, from where a  could then grow. From the roots of the tree descended man, and when the tree eventually shrivelled descended woman. The tale is not conclusive; some rural Chomanese uphold that their earliest ancestors momentarily (the root hence unexposed above), and instead discovered the lands above by digging. The Kishelemienk is not involved in the daily affairs of the Chomanese; instead manitowak (命祇 'life-spirits') subordinate to him are addressed in prayer, and embody a variety of organisms and objects. Most revered among the manitowak as the of Choman is Nanapush (儺儺筆), credited with granting fire to humans, which was thenceforth used to light campfires and  pipes, so that men of different tribes and languages sat and settled their disputes peacefully rather than in war. ' (幽靈使命 'vision-quests') are central to Chomanese spiritualism; adolescent boys (and optionally girls, although they are considered "innately complete") undertake these to discover their ' (護獸靈), an animalistic guardian spirit, after staying and in the wilderness for an indefinite time. The mesinkw and its discovery process defines the adolescent's, which replaces all former names.

Industrialization and urban living has since disturbed these practices. Meteinuwak (醫哲人 ), which traditionally initiated the kentuwe'' in large congregations, have now become an obsolete ; their knowledge is preserved in textbooks and practiced only by dedicated families. Ohtasak (玩偶), initially sizable wooden carved dolls for, have now been shrunken into and. Moreover, linkwehelan now determines the of the adolescent (with the family declaring the name before the offspring's fifteenth [15th] birthday), and has been despiritualized. Sending off an adolescent in the wilderness constitutes, and consequently linkwehelan has taken the form of other challenges, such as , (often in Sinjuan ), and. The declaration of as the 'state religion' by the ruling communist party has only accelerated the demise of Chomanese customs. Ceremonial have largely been demolished, except for their retainment in conservational museums.

Fashion
 (: 穀絲物; : 밀후՞꼰끄), shortened to Milhgo (: 滵褲; : 밇고) abroad, are a type of trousers made out of, which were first extensively produced during the Chomanese Industrial Revolution, for cheap and durable  and particularly for  attire. They are typically dyed, from the dye of imported from southern Yeongju. Initially a for the working-class, they have gradually become the premier trousers in Chomanese, and the subject of numerous artworks. Vanguardist Chomanese films, like The Rebellious Chief and Faulty State, inspired of  political affinities to wear milxukonkw in everyday settings, which they deemed to be a symbol of "rebelliousness" against religion, family and the state. Verily, the milxukonkw have since 1975 been also worn among known as sakwixeyok (՞삭의헤՞욕, lit. 'troublemakers'), who tore parts of the trousers in protest against. The first military government enforced at schools and in public areas to combat the movement, but with the rise of the second government in 2002 came a "change of heart"; the milxukonkw and their "distressed form" (삑하밇고 pikhamilhgo) were starkly promoted and in turn depoliticized. The sakwixeyok subculture was also subsequently reduced solely to its musical community (see: sakwixeyok pop and sakwixeyok rock), which nowadays appeals to a rather minuscule.

Cuisine
Chomanese food staples include (maize),, , and. Corn foremost is either into  or grounded into  and  for, and then accompanied by a plethora of :  and  , , , , , , and  and  among others. Along the eastern coast, fish varieties such as, , , and are prepared, and more seldomly also. Seasonal berries, such as, , , , and predominantly and , are either consumed alone or used as ; for instance grape dumplings (՞쎄왛삽안 shewahsapan) are a common  delicacy. More portable foods include (살뽄 salpon),  (՞껫꾼딱빠께 keskuntakpake), and roasted nuts:, , and. For flavoring,, , and (께레껜익안 kelekenikan) are traditionally used, with the latter first extensively cultivated in the 10th century. Profound trade with Yahuimilco starting in the late-16th century introduced, , and to the Chomanese diet. and were welcomed as more flavorful alternatives to corn-derivative dishes, whereas  was mostly put to pies, such as in the modern-day  (또메띨빠께 tometilpake). Yahuimilcan was a prevalent drink among the Chomanese middle-class up until colonization, when ties with Yahuimilco were cut and  was introduced. Additionally, acclaimed corn-based like,  and  slowly made their way to Choman in moderate amounts and under severe , which only incentivized local efforts to replicate them. Siminpitay (堅果沫) was one such beverage, made from fermented corn and extracts of persimmon and walnuts. It was however displaced by (玉蜀黍烈酒 xaskwimpaolawa), invented in 1766. During the 1724–1806 period, a domestic albeit negligible type of was also being produced in parallel. Yahuimilcan was a belated addition to Chomanese cuisine, adopted a little after independence, after being long since historically considered "too spicy" for the natives' taste. Nonyukbeolese settlers brought with them for natives to cultivate, which was syncretized with native cuisine. Pipempw (삐뻼쁘) is a dish identical in form to a bowl, but was modelled after local game and vegetation, mostly elk meat and berries. Siminjuk is a Chomanese akin to Nonyukbeolese, but features ground  instead of. Likewise, choman-jjigae is a stew using deer, chicken strips (akin to Fusenese ), , , and. Skewered food, such as and, are served with raccoon or beaver meat and  in virtually all  swarming the city centers. Grape dumplings are also alternatively prepared in the way of, in which case they're called chipimantw ('twisted mandu').

Pahsaheman is a played between women and men, separated in two (2) teams. The women's team is by principle advantageous, which reflects the traditionally  way of life. It is thus an. The ball, known as pahsahikan (빻사끼՞깐), is wide and ; its is typically close to eight (8)  (25.4 cm or 10 in). Similar to the Fusenese , it is made out of and deerhair stuffing. The oldest of the women's team initiates the game by the ball. The women may carry, kick and pass the ball, in addition to tackling and shoving aside the opposition. Women score a goal either by kicking the ball through the opposite goal posts, or by carrying it through. The men, in contrast, may not tackle women nor carry the ball, thus they may only snatch it from the women's hands or catch it when unprotected. When the ball is in their possession, they may not run with it, but must pass (by foot) or kick it from their immediate location. Men score a goal by kicking the ball through the opposite goal posts. Pahsaheman may also be played between homogender teams, but that is the exception and not the rule. Nowadays it has been largely absorbed by the more gender-neutral ', but is still occasionally played in inter-Yeongjuan ' gatherings.
