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 now covers a relatively large landmass stretching from the Anacaer Mountains to the west (which range form almost a cup or fence about the nation's non-oceanic side), and the Alach Bay to the east, 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, Palenthia, is located on the Ica, approximately eight hundred miles inland from the Ica's mouth.
Powerhungry Chipmunks is segregated into fairly distinct regions by the Ica and its tributaries. The largest of these two, the Ascelles and the Escelles (which sit, respectively, on the north and south side of the Ica, across from one another) also contain the most citizens (the latter housing the greatest). The least populated region is Zerberdeer, which is in the nations extreme north and east of Powerhungry Chipmunks.
History
On the Reckoning of Time and Ancient 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 severly inconclusive, though it seems to imply that for at least a five hundred years the ethnic groups that would eventually become one nation were at peace--in a sort of city-state coexistence. Beyond that, political history is marred by the expansive oral traditions handed down (and greatly differing area to area) in both rural and urban Powerhungry Chipmunks.
Powerhungry Chipmunks residents reckon time according to the Icae Pact. Icae, a neighboring country between Powerhungry Chipmunks and the Ocean, had fought several wars over tariffs Icae imposed on goods entering the Ica's mouth. "Powerhungry Chipmunks" (which is actually a mistranslation of "Mighty Nation" from Galla to English) was first used by northern fur traders who had little knowledge of the Galla language which most Powerhungry Chipmunks citizens spoke.
