Zenophalia
Status (date): reconstruction in progress,
with consultations to Zalidia as Zenophalia adopter (September 17th, 2025)
Zenophalia is a country at the western border of the Shire (as of 2023), west of Oranje en Purpur and north of Terumbu Nagaram. It was built by SlinkyCoder9629/Epislinki.
Geography and structure
Zenophalia is fully situated in a savanna biome, with steep mountains to the west. Its architecture is defined as medieval-styled. There are several recognized regions under Zenophalian jurisdiction: Uenophalia, Phinius Beach, Pagel, Oslem, and Grek Island.
Uenophalia
Uenophalia is the southcentral region of Zenophalia. Its architecture is known by its cobblestone walls and spruce roofs. Some of Zenophalia's landmarks are located here. One of those is Church of Garcia III, the first Zenophalian building. The church was made by Epislinki with the help of Nebbers and Chthonia. Another is the Zeno-Terumbu Friendship Bridge, also known as Hiasan Bridge. A ruined nether portal is also placed in Uenophalia. The region serves as a central hub of the country, with the placement of the STA-registered Zenophalia Station, as well as '/warp zeno' right in front of the Zenophalian Notice Board. The current jurisdiction of Uenophalia also includes Iodine Port to the east, as well as the currently obsolete region of Xenonia to the north.
Phinius Beach
Phinius Beach is the northcentral (slightly to the east) region of Zenophalia, at the intersection of Uenophalia, Pagel, and Grek Island. It is most notable for having Zenophalia Farm, a RSF track for the planned 2nd RSF Grand Prix.
Pagel
Pagel is the northwestern region of Zenophalia, most notable for its houses with acacia materials. In the past, it was named New Pagel to distinguish it from the historic, Zenophalia-occupied Old Pagel. At the time, New Pagel was defined as a village in the constituency of Zenophalia, not its territorial part. Epislinki mentioned that this was enacted to give Pageleans more constitutional power. With Zalidia's rule, the region was named Pagel and fully integrated back into Zenophalia.
Oslem
Oslem is the southwestern region of Zenophalia most known for its steep mountains, typical of steep savanna biome. Its northernmost mountain is most notable of Oslem mountains, due to its large-scale waterfalls. Oslem also includes what was once a village named Kirdiski in the south.
Grek Island
Grek Island is situated northeast, with a road that connects to Phinius Beach. The region only has a house.
History
Zenophalia was created in 1684, according to a brief mention by Epislinki. A separate record mentioned the existence of a historical event in 1806, but the specific event was not written. Decades later, Zenophalia experienced The War of 1845, where it "had a war against itself". Later in 1867, Zenophalia annexed Oslem as one of its regions.
Adoption by Zalidia
After the departure of Epislinki, Zalidia adopted the country through an agreement with Adopt-A-Project NGO. Zalidia appointed therealFireHydra to revitalize the country's railway lines.
Cardinal direction changes
Zenophalia used a different system of cardinal directions, with cardinal directions defined as 90° counterclockwise from established compass points. With Zalidia's adoption, this system is no longer in effect.

International Relations
There are records of Zenophalia's relationship with at least two states: Terumbu Nagaram and Fox Valley. The relationships have had varied conditions over time due to factors such as bilateral cooperation, as well as territorial and import disputes.
Terumbu Nagaram
A border dispute with Terumbu Nagaram was settled on Iustitia Alliance Court on February 26th, 2023. The dispute case concerned about the use of the bay between the two states. The case was won by Terumbu Nagaram with the final ruling of the bay's usage as territorial border. Zenophalia was represented by Yeratie Smodsi, the Mayoral Spokesperson, while Terumbu Nagaram is represented by Alexander T. Torney of LawCo.
Fox Valley
A tension between Zenophalia and Fox Valley occurred do to the smuggling of fox meat in Zenophalia. This prompted the Zenophalian government to ban fox meat and execute a crackdown on the smuggling operations by Topaz Jasp, James Bingle and Greg Bingle. The three were fired from their Council membership and imprisoned.
