It covers an area of 411,930 square kilometres and is inhabitated by approximately 32,954,373 inhabitants. Its capital is Chikara City and its largest city is Isogai.

History
Ancient Namimori The Kim Jung Chun Valley (김진천계곡) was inhabited as early as the Lower Paleolithic period. The history of Namimori begins with the founding of Anurongkaya (Ayuthayan: อนุรงคยา) in 2333 BCE by Ratchadatevi (Ayuthayan: รัชฎาเทวี), according to South Serican foundation mythology. Anurongkaya was noted in Amelian records in the early 7th century. Gojoseon expanded until it controlled the northern valley and parts of Isogia (nowadays Isogai and Maehara). Bupa Hwarang was purportedly founded in the 12th century BCE, but its existence and role have been controversial in the modern era. In 106 BCE, the Yang dynasty defeated Wiman Hwaramb and installed four commanderies in the northern Kim Jung Chunian Valley. Three of the commanderies fell or retreated westward within a few decades. As Hwarang commandery was destroyed and rebuilt around this time, the place gradually moved toward Liaodong. Thus, its force was diminished and it only served as a trade center until it was conquered by Amelian empire in 369.

Ancient Amelian region of Nanmei: The name "Namimori" existed for the first time under the Ancient Amelian Empire with the name "Nanmei" (Amelian: 南美 - The southern beauty). The region included the nowadays Namimori, Kuwiang, Qasentria and Saint Vittoria. With a contact between Amelia and Lakadamia, Nanmei had been influenced by the Lakadamian culture and continue to use Lakadiamian language together with Nanmeiyu (Old Namimorish) and Koran, especially the eastern part of the region (nowadays Qasentria). The Ayuthayan part was part of Shinkoyu region at that time.

Three kingdoms of Great Jinaria: In 1432, Nanmei separatist group led by Kim Dok Ja (김독자) defeated the Amelian military and announced the independence from the empire on March 9, 1392. The land was supposed to be unified as one as Great Jinaria (대진아리국) but it was later equally divided into three parts: Jinhwaguk (진화국), Taeminguk (태민국) and Arirang (아리랑) given to Namimorish, Ayuthayan and Koran-Lakadamian governments correspondingly. At the same time, Shinkoyu region also gained its independence and had tried to unify the conceptual empire Greater Shinkoyu (Amelian: 大心口語華) many times for hundred years. On December 26, 1609, Shinkoyu successfully annexed Great Jinaria as East Shinkoyu (Amelian: 東心口語) after the fall down of Isogai.

Under the Shinkoyu occupation: During being a Shinkoyu territory, East Shinkoyu people were tortured as the second-class citizen and limited a number of rights due to Shinkoyu’s communism law. Together with the protesters, the provincial East Shinkoyu government at that time decided to riot and protest the central Beizhin government for 2 year and 5 months. On March 9, 1919, the young military leader H.M. Sawada Tsunayoshi successfully overthrew the Shinkoyu dictator and officially announce the renewed Namimorish Empire (Namimorish: 大並盛帝国) ruled by the Sawada dynasty.

Demographics


In February 2021, Namimori's population was estimated to be around 32.9 million by the Statistics Namimori, with continuing decline of working age population and total fertility rate. The country is noted for its population density, which was an estimated 80 per square kilometer in 2021, around 1.2 times the global average. Namimori is the less densely-populated country among all South Serican nations. Most Namimorish live in urban areas, especially in Maehara and Isogai, because of rapid migration from the countryside during the country's quick economic expansion after the dissolution of Namimorish empire. Namimori is nevertheless becoming a more multi-ethnic society over time due to immigration.

The percentage of foreign nationals has been growing rapidly. Namimori had 6,022,141 foreign residents, 2.75% of the population; however, many of them are ethnic South Serican with a foreign citizenship including citizens of Takimorujin who seek for asylum due to internal crisis.

Large numbers of ethnic Namimorishs live overseas, sometimes in South Serican ethnic neighbourhoods also known as SouthSeriTowns. The four largest diaspora population can be found in the United State of Eldance (1.9 million), Qasentria (0.75 million), Lakadamia (0.62 million), and Drevona (0.25 million).

Education


Despite having a decentralized administration, Namimori oversees the process for the education of children from kindergarten to the third and final year of high school in a centralized way. The school year is divided into two semesters, the first of which begins at the beginning of May and ends in September, the second of which begins in November and ends in March. The schedules are not uniformly standardized and vary from school to school. Most Namimorish middle schools and high schools have school uniforms, modeled on western-style uniforms. Boys' uniforms usually consist of trousers and white shirts, and girls wear skirts and white shirts. However, as the country approves the LGBTQ+ community, students are legally allowed to freely choose uniforms depending on their personal orientation. The country adopted a new educational program to increase the number of their foreign students through 2019. According to the Ministry of Education, the number of scholarships for foreign students in Namimori would have (under the program) tripled by that time, and the number of foreign students would have reached 250,000.

Higher education is a serious issue in Namimorish society, where it is viewed as one of the fundamental cornerstones of Namimorish life. Sadly, education is regarded with a high priority for Namimorish families as success in education is often a source of pride for families and within the society at large, and is a necessity to improve one's socioeconomic position in Namimorish society. Namimorishs view education as the main propeller of social mobility for themselves and their family as a gateway to the middle class. Graduating from a top university is the ultimate marker of prestige, high socioeconomic status, promising marriage prospects, and a respectable career path. The entrance into a top tier higher educational institution leads to a prestigious, secure and well-paid white collar job with the government, banks, or a major Namimorish conglomerate. With incredible pressure on high school students to secure places at the nation's best universities, its institutional reputation and alumni networks are strong predictors of future career prospects. The top three universities in Namimori, often referred to as "CIT", are Central University of Chikage Utsuki, Itaru University and Tsumugi Tsukioka University. Intense competition for top grades and academic pressure to be the top student is deeply ingrained in the psyche of Namimorish students at a young age. There is a major cultural taboo in Namimorish society attached to those who have not achieved formal university education where those who do not hold university degrees face social prejudice and are often looked down by others as second-class citizens. In 2019, the country was reported to spent 10.2% of its GDP on all levels of education.



Language
] Namimorish, Koran and Ayuthayan are the official languages of Namimori. Namimorish language is not related to any Amelian languages, although it incorporates a number of words that are Amelian in origin and adapts the Kakuji character system.

Koran language in Namimori has its own dialect which differentiate itself from the Jarean standard one, known as Byeongseongi. On 2020, Koran speakers within Namimori has been strongly growing as several Namimorish success in the Fantasia Contest are credited by Koran-language songs. Namimori is also considered as a part of Kpop countries along with Hwaesonna, Jarea, Qasentria and Shinkoyu.

Despite being the least used among all offcial languages, Ayuthayan was the premier language of Namimorish territory for a long time since the Anurongkaya period. As most of Ayuthayan speakers live in the Western part of Namimori Empire, the amount of Ayuthayan speakers in contemporary Namimori is decreased after the separation of Western Namimori, nowsaday Kuwiang. The Ayuthayan usage restoration is introduced by the ministries and is currently in process of development.

Everish and Hailiniese languages are recognized as national languages. Almost all Namimorish students today learn Everish throughout their education, with some optionally choosing Lakadamian, Flirsk and Scandavian as well. In some prefectures, students are also obliged to study regional language such as Lakadamian in Shimamura or Taewonese in Obikuni. Lakadamian is also used in governmental and international affairs.
