Empire Blog - Sawiwi

We welcome you to read our latest blog, about a country that we have been working on for over 2 years, a little after we discovered JetPunk. Although this has nothing to do with DOTJE, we still decided to make this to inform people of our creation. We have worked on many things during our time, including making basic and detailed maps, strengthening the military, space exploration, and a lot other stuff. We two can't take all the credit though, as many of our real friends helped us work on this project.

We first created the language during our last-period math class on October 25, 2019. A few weeks later, on November 14, we develop further and made a primitive map (image down below). This map continued to be developed to what it is today. During that time, we also reworked and added to the language, wrote a constitution, invited more members, and created a culture. In February of 2020, we decided that our city names were too similar to English names (we gained independence from the United States and wanted to be culturally different), so we changed most of their names, e.g. Dhruví City to Tímår¬. Our history files also contain various stories about the Sawiwi Island's past, such as how the main religion on the island was created.

We started fortifying our military and designing our own equipment during the summer of 2020. We currently have two military instillations: Måna Naval Base and Þol Army Base. Most of our Navy was deployed in a blockade around Cohanu during our war against them in early 2020.

Our language, Sawi, is arguably the oldest part of our country and culture. It was created on October 25, 2019, on a random page of Ethaboo's math notebook. Since then, we have begun to translate all words from the Oxford 3000. Here are some (very) basic elements of it:

Gender Rules:

If a noun is preceded by an article, add a suffix to the noun based on its gender:

Masculine: -er

Feminine: -eu

Neutral: -es

Articles have genders, too. The gender of the article depends on the gender of the noun that succeeds it.

Plurals:

If the noun ends in c, k, q, r, or x, add -í.

If the noun ends in any other consonant, add -ík.

If the noun ends in a vowel, add -k.

Articles have plural forms, too.

Verbs:

English form : if verb ends in a consonant : if ends in a vowel

-ing verbs : -'å : -d'å

past tense verbs : -én : -né

-s verbs : -ø : -mø

Other Grammar:

If a noun begins with a vowel and the article preceding it ends with a vowel, add -n to the end of the article.

Basic Words:

English - Sawi - pronunciation

a - år/u/es - aer/oo/es

a (plural) - årn/un/sén - aern/oon/sehn

about - imgen - imgin

all - íll - iell

also - wuxl - wooxol

and - unt - oont

any - piub - pyoob

as - sér - sehr

So far, we have done all words from a to decade. There are many more that we are too lazy to put in this blog 😅

The culture of Sawiwi was one of the first things we created.

Religion:

Sawiwi practices Dhruvism, a religion that worships Dhruv. Daily prayers and monthly sacrifices are mandatory. If someone is too poor to give sacrifices, Dhruv will give them a grant. Dhruv is also the supreme ruler of our land.

During February of 2020, we revolutionized Sawiwi, adding many new features. One of them was more highways. We have two classifications of highways: National Highways (NH) and Sawiwi Highways (SH).

Here is a list of highways:
