Out Of Character

The Vamu is a mix of real-world cultures, the predominant ones being - Inca (with heavy influence from Quechua and Aymara), Amazonian cultures (mainly on the Uhuwaran cultures), Ainu & Japonic Cultures (In the Taiwo), and lastly, Maori & Polynesian cultures (on the Awai). While initially I'd modelled it on the Inca Empire, later on I incorporated other cultures as I realized that there were other major terrains in my nation. The lack of a domestic currency was a choice based on the Inca Empire, which eventually led to possibly the most convoluted and confusing economy in the entirety of Xomni, incomprehensible to many and even I don't completely understand it.

The Vamu itself is also notorious for never being referred to correctly, always being called by it's old name, Qusqo, which I later amended to being the name of the capital after I realized that I was not a city-state sized nation but rather, one as large as modern day Germany. Of course people not referring to it by it's proper name is only a me thing because I'm the most semantically sensitive hatstand you've ever seen but you don't need to read that.

General Trivia

The Vamu, officially known as the Wayna Vamu (New Vamu) or simply as the Vamu internationally, is a nation in West Qatesh, one of the states which marks the boundary between Qatesh and Alaxia. With a land area of ~400,000 square kilometres and a population of ~30 million, the Vamu is one of the smaller nations in the area. The Vamu has a large variety of climates for it's size, from the rolling Taiwo and Awai coastal plains in the east and north, to the dense Tembe jungle in the centre, to the sole mountain range in the nation, the Qulla range, adjacent to the narrow Chupa jungle of the west. The Vamu straddles the equator in the south. It lacks an oceanic coastline, but it has a large coastline on Lake Cayuga.

History

The Reign of Qharunq the IInd and Industrialisation

The Reign of the third Intivaw after formation, Qharunq the IInd, was notably marked by the industrialisation of the Vamu and its journey into the modern era.

The first steps of industrialisation was taken when the first steam-powered machinery, a sawmill, was constructed in the town of Qochiqulque. The first factories were constructed in this era, and working at these state-owned factories, known as Tapaconchas, was made one of the duties which could be assigned to a Mit'a worker - an action that would eventually become one of the core works of the Mit'a labour system.

In response to this industrialisation, there was a protest in the form of the Willakuman revolt in which agitated farmers and workers broke the factory and agricultural machinery which was replacing their jobs. This revolt was appeased by the establishment of the Ailamit'a, a year-round Mit'a program.

Near the end of the reign, the first Qayachatakas (Cinema Theatres), starting a rich film tradition and a flourishing industry. Initially modelled on foreign theatres, the Qayachataka eventually turned into a unique local attraction, present in nearly every village, and with a weekly tradition of going to the theatre with one's family.

Also near to the end of his reign, the Intivaw approved the formation of the Ajachamarka Tantaschiqa (International Corporate Conglomerate), which created the Vamu's International commercial corporations such as the Masa Franchise and the Qu-Kola Brand.

The Reign of Qoya the 1st

The reign of the Fourth Intivaw after Formation, Qoya the 1st, was marked by the occurrence of the Great War and the Second Great War.
