Origin of Name

The beginning of this newly found Utopian society was perfect for every inhabitant. People eagerly went to work in their perfectly symmetrical farms, with their 2 story, 4 windowed homes. For years the people lived like this with cropping food, and selling it to neighbors. Then, some rebellious teenagers started ruining people’s farms, but there was no one to do anything about it. So the society of 1000 people created a town hall to elect a ruler to set laws and protect them equally. So they decided to ask “Who wants to do it?” And instantly a man raised his hand and everyone turns to look and he says “Yes!” So, due to the strong French influence on the society, they named the country Main, translated into ‘hand’ for the main raising his to become the king.
So now Ruler Nemo, his name, dictated the society’s new direction. He forced production on all farms to increase, and everyone was getting paid equally. Hours of the day were 8 in the morning to 5 pm. Everyone was happy. Then, King Nemo bore a son, who was named Nemo II. During the last years of Nemo I, a dystopian society next door conquered them and burned everything down, and assassinated Nemo I. The country of Main then became the country of Lileth. Everyone was no longer farmers, but now warriors and fought for Emperor Chu of Lileth. Nemo II did not want to see his fathers perfect society to fall to pieces, so at the bleak of the night, he brought some Mainists to sneak into the castle of Chu and execute the “new” king. Through a successful attempt, they raided the castle and killed nobles and finally Chu.
Nemo II regained power and sent people back to their old farms, and now to the farms of the Kingdom of Lileth, since he is now the king of that land. The population grew from 5,000 to 50,000 in 10 years, and Nemo II was only 28 years old. The entire land is now under the kingdom of Main, but unfortunately, the name changed to Niam due to Nemo II’s dyslexic problem and wrote the name backwards on some official paperwork. No one wanted to correct the king, so it was adapted and now the country is Niam.
