Overview

Powerhungry Chipmunks, an old, sleepy nation sits peaceably about the River Ica. It is known by nations worldwide not for its fine furs or expansive farmland and countryside, but rather for its impact, good or ill, on the United Nations. Some point out it might be impossible for Powerhungry Chipmunks not to have had a sizable impact upon the shape of the modern UN, given the sheer number of proposals and repeals the nation has authored and resolutions it has passed.

The nature of this influence, however, is widely debated. Some cite Powerhungry Chipmunks, with disdain, as giving a window and a soap box to the "national sovereignty crowd". Those who sympathize with national rights organizations 9such as the National Sovereignty Organization) view the nation in a rather fairer light, identifying its legislative overtures as instrumental in bringing about the modern sensibility of proposals and resolutions. Powerhungry Chipmunks representatives generally maintain silence and humility regarding the nation's history and possible international stature, though one quotation from a national leader, Sam Palleel has persisted in the international sphere. In addressing his junior, Johan Arnaen, regarding a particularly nasty exchange with a representative from DemonLordEnigma, Palleel prognosticated, "Don't worry about the trolls; they live and die under a bridge. Our work persists over time. Our legacy will far outlast its detractors."

Geography and Peoples

Powerhungry Chipmunks covers a relatively large landmass stretching from the Anacaer Mountains to the west (which form a sort of fence about the nation's non-oceanic side) to the Alach Bay to the east--and centered on the Ica river which flows between the two. Powerhungry Chipmunks expands for almost a thousand miles total north and south of the Ica. the Powerhungry Chipmunks capital, Palenth, is located on the Ica, approximately eight hundred miles inland from the Ica's mouth.

Powerhungry Chipmunks is segregated into regions (and general ethnic groups, as well) by the Ica and its several tributaries. These regions include The Ascelles, The Escelles, Vicaea, The Mitaean Highlands, The Field of Galla, The Bend, Zerberdeer, Icae and the Acsis Marshlands.

History

Powerhungry Chipmunks history is shrouded in doubt. When and where the peoples' now under the Powerhungry Chipmunks flag began aligning themselves to one another is unclear. Powerhungry Chipmunks archeological information is not inconclusive, but the peoples of Powerhungry Chipmunks show an alarmed degree of distrust towards foreigners, and little information has been yielded by the limited foreign interest in the nation’s history.

It is generally known throughout the region that the peoples now united under the Powerhungry Chipmunks flag were still separate and distinct nations by 800 P.C.E (Powerhungry Chipmunks Common Era), making the longest Powerhungry Chipmunks could have been identified as a single nation nine hundred years. Beyond that, any Powerhungry Chipmunks history that does leak beyond the self-imposed isolation of its peoples is littered with the expansive oral traditions handed down (and greatly differing area to area) in both rural and urban Powerhungry Chipmunks, and unreliable to foreign study.

Powerhungry Chipmunks citizens reckon time according to traditional date the Ica first flowed from the Anacaer to the Alach, called “the Time of Beauty”, approximately 1700 years ago. Powehungry Chipmunks tradition states that the explorer and hero Galla traveled westward across the Ica valley (then dry) and high into the Anacaer Mountains. There he discovered a sacred site, at which he lodged his sword, Palatae, into the rock, and the river Vicae flowed from the rock. Vicae is the largest tributary of the Ica and without it is said the Ica would shrivel up in the dry plains of Icae, near Alach bay.

Galla is considered the “father” of many of the various tribes which would inhabit the land around the Ica, and much of the oral tradition in Powerhungry Chipmunks surrounds him and his family, as well as the sacred site of Vicae and artifacts from that site. However, these traditional stories, passed on religiously in some parts of Powerhungry Chipmunks, as guarded against foreign ears as the secular history of Powerhungry Chipmunks.

“Powerhungry Chipmunks” is a mistranslation of a Gallan phrase meaning “mountain-river people”, which a one-time tribal leader used attempting to describe his people to some fur traders. The mistranslation, however, caught on among the neighbors of Powerhungry Chipmunks, who tended to dislike the nation for its isolationism.
