Komosire

Komosire (Komosirese: Kömös Sire), officially the Republic of Komosire (Komosirese:  Kömös Gonghıgo), is a  in North Yoju. It is one of the northernmost countries in the world, being one of only five countries with land in the Arctic. On land, it borders only Nukigurun, but on sea has an extensive coastline with access to the Northern Ocean for most of the year.

Various groups have long lived in the area that is now Komosire, surviving off of hunting-gathering and reindeer herding. The Komosirese first migrated to the area from Lake X sometime between the 10th and 12th centuries, coming in several waves down the Xanggiyan River. First organized in clans, the Qangalas clan came to politically dominate the others by the early 16th century. Komosire was conquered by Nukigurun in 1651 but the clan system was able to largely continue until 1858. Komosire achieved independence after the defeat of Nukigurun in the Great Eulhae War.

Today, Komosire is the largest producer and exporter of diamonds in the world. It is a with an  and high s.

Etymology
The Komosirese name Kömös originates from the Old Koksoyic *kümüš (: 𐰚𐰇𐰢𐱁), in turn from *gümüĺ, both meaning "silver." The Komosirese are believed to descend from a clan from Central Yoju that were likely known by a similar name, known for their silversmithing. Sire in turn is the Komosirese word for "land." Together, Kömös Sire literally means "Komosirese land."

Prehistory
Komosire, like the rest of North Yoju, is of great significance due to the presence of many animals from the XX preserved in ice or.

Early history
The  first moved into the Xanggiyan river basin sometime between the 10th and 12th centuries, following the Xanggiyan river up north from Lake X. They displaced earlier, much smaller hunting-gathering and reindeer herding groups, bringing a  lifestyle based on the raising of horses and cattle from Central Yoju. Komosirese folklore tells of a string of defeats at the hands of the BURYATS, a group, which forced them to flee their previous home around Lake Y.

The migration to a much harsher, northerly climate resulted in the Komosirese practicing, moving between winter hamlets of one or two families known as kıstık and massive summer camps known as saiılık to which numerous families would congregate and cut hay. The runic Koksoyic alphabet fell from use and was forgotten; there are no written Komosirese records from their migration to the Xanggiyan river basin until the 16th century.

Early Komosirese society was divided into multiple clans, headed by lords called toıon. The most powerful of these was the Qangalas clan, whose territory covered the area that is roughly Utelir today.

Contact with Nuki traders first began in the early 1400s, bringing the wheel, gunpowder weapons, and a myriad of new foods and drinks such as tea, wheat, and millet. The Nuki alphabet by the mid-late 1500s. The acquisition of gunpowder weapons allowed for the Qangalas clan to extend their control over the other clans as well as non-Komosirese groups indigenous to the region. The clan soon acquired a monopoly on trade with Nuki traders and were further able to extend their power.

From 1580 on, Komosire was made to pay tribute to the Nuki Empire, primarily in the form of horses.

Nuki Komosire
A dispute over Komosirese tribute led to the declaration of war by the Nukis in 1649. Nuki troops easily defeated the Komosirese, and all Komosirese lands and peoples came under Nuki control by 1651. Cruelty on the part of Nuki authorities caused many Komosirese to flee from their traditional lands in the Xanggiyan river basin, greatly expanding the areas in which Komosirese inhabited.



The discovery of vast gold and other mineral deposits in 1902, 1911, and 1925 led to massive migration to Komosire from much of the rest of the Nuki Empire, both from those seeking to make their own fortune and through the establishment of industrial mines and cities to which many people were forcibly relocated. Life in mining towns was rough and justice was only loosely enforced, especially for crimes committed against the Komosirese population and other indigenous groups. The miners, who were almost exclusively male, often kidnapped local women to marry or their satisfy sexual urges. By 1945, 450,000 Nukis were living in Komosire, 25% of the population of Komosire at the time and 70% of the urban population.

Despite the Pan-Ergunist message spouted by the government and in official propaganda, Komosirese faced discrimination at the hands of Nuki officials and individuals. Discontent began to rise among Komosirese in particular during the Great Eulhae War, as many Komosirese lost their livelihoods after the requisitioning of horses led to the loss of many families' livelihoods. Heavy riots broke out in X in 1938 after the rape of a female Komosirese student by a Nuki policeman, which was quashed by the authorities.

Independence
Komosire achieved independence on XXX, 1941, after the defeat of Nukigurun in the Great Eulhae War. The overwhelming majority of ethnic Nukis in the newly established republic either chose to leave the country or were forcibly expelled. Elections were set up on

Geography
About 20% of the Komosire lies north of the Arctic Circle and nearly the entirety of the country is covered by permafrost.

Foreign relations
As Komosire borders only Nukigurun on land and sea access is blocked off for part of the year, Komosire-Nukigurun relations are of utmost importance to the country. Komosire and Nukigurun maintain relatively warm relations.

Economy
Komosire is a wealthy country with significant reserves of oil, gas, and precious minerals, diamonds in particular. In 2018, raw materials made up 63% of Komosire's exports, of which diamonds made up the largest percentage at 23%. These extractive industries are entirely state-run e.g. diamond mining in Komosire is done entirely through the state-run company Koko. Komosire's reliance on the export of raw materials has led to the government seeking diversification of the economy.

Demographics
The population of Komosire is 4.8 million and increasing, primarily due to immigration. Komosire's is higher than those of other wealthy countries with a relatively very high fertility rate of 2.6, giving it a fairly young population for an advanced economy. The government gives generous benefits for families who choose to have children in order to reduce the country's dependence on foreign laborers.

A labor shortage in the diamond mines and oil fields has led to a significant amount of imported labor, many from Central Yoju and the poorer parts of Nukigurun.

Religion
Komosirese society was historically X, like the other peoples of Central Yoju. Nuki rule, however, led to the introduction of new religious and philosophical traditions originating from Sinju.

Literature and oral tradition
Komosirese culture is primarily known for, epic tales traditionally told by traveling bards known as oloñqosut that often consist of several tens of thousands of verses. Many of the stories told by the oloñqosut were first written down during the mid-late 19th century by by X, X, and X.

Cuisine


The harsh climate of the country has meant that the Komosirese had to develop unique culinary approaches to take maximum advantage of the region's few available food resources and avoid vitamin deficiencies. Traditionally, Komosire was a pastoral economy based primarily on the raising of horses and cattle, with reindeer herders in the north. To this day, Komosirese cuisine relies heavily on dairy products, foraged plants, meat, and fish. Milk is used to make butter, curds, and suorat, a thick yogurt to which many foraged goods and even bones (dissolved by lactic acid) are added.

The most favored traditional beverage is, an alcoholic beverage made from mare's milk. Although milk is generally harvested only during the summer months, kumyss is often produced in huge numbers and stored in birchbark barrels for year-round consumption. Modern-day urbanization and commercialization however, has meant that kumyss can be produced year-round with imported milk.

Meat dishes include thinly sliced strips of horse called X, blood sausage, and. Horsemeat remains the preferred meat dish of the Komosirese, and colt meat in particular is seen as a delicacy.

Nuki cuisine had a significant impact on Komosirese cuisine beginning in the 18th century, with the introduction of soups and.

As the country is rich in rivers and lakes, the Komosirese incorporate a lot of fish into their diet.
