The Commonwealth of The Nuiqsut Confederation was founded in 2004 by the alliance of city-states and villages. The Nuiqsut Confederation is a largely sparsely populated state in Southern Neria. The country is organized on a direct-democracy model with towns voting on decisions by popular support. Then electing representatives to represent their local town or ward. Although it does not border any county on land, The Nuiqsut Confederation is separated from Salad Land by the Sedna Sea. The nation is well known for its remote and sparse and unspoiled landscapes.
Etymology
The name Nuiqsut comes from the Oqapuik word “Nuiq” meaning “People” and the Kaquismaq word “Sut” meaning land. The word came into existence as the winner of a contest among schoolchildren with the winning name coming from a 14-year-old student in the Central Region.
