The Lost City Of Pig

Information
The Lost City of Pig is a city in the Birdipelago which is inhabited by both birds and pigs. It is located just to the left of Piggy island and therefore is often warm and usually doesn't make it into minus numbers during winter. It is one of the first areas to have an election for the next king bird/pig.

Currency
The currency used in this part of the nation is called "Golden Eggs" in English money they're about £1.84. Smaller units include: Silver Eggs (52p) and Bronze Eggs (4p). There are also larger units: Brown Paper Eggs (1.83), Orange Paper Eggs (£2.66), Purple Paper Eggs (£4.33) and Blue Paper Eggs (£10.33).

Discovery
During the 1600's birds sailed to the Birdipelago, when they were travelling they found a mysterious abandoned city which had no population left the travellers started to rebuild the civilisation. It was originally a small territory,, and it would stay like that for many years staying at steady growth rates.

Eventually in 1867 the pigs started to take-over multiple parts in a fast domination to get all the eggs in the city. After that the great egg war began.

The Great Egg War
Near 1889 a great war was prompted by the pigs rapidly growing conquest of the land and eggs, however some pigs defected an joined as rebel spies for the birds. The final event of the war in 1913 where all the bad pigs were wiped out by a good rogue who created a peaceful bird and pig city for a few years.

Division and Sponium Discovery
In the 1940's the 3-leaders started to take different views on the city creating conflict between them, in order to preserve the countries from another conflict they split the city into three parts turning the lost city into a country. Despite being a country they still called themselves a city. The main states were: Firano, Dairilang and Splin. The trenches were filled with water to help permanently split the lands. This became known as the Warrior's River and is shown with the flag along with three buildings representing the original parts of the country.

During 1997 an extremely powerful element called Sponium (SP) was found in the mine's deposits of Goldum, seemingly growing from diamonds and sapphires in a strange watery chemical mix. It is best used as a power source, however in 2004 it was discovered that it could be frozen into a powerful resource.

Further Splits
After the area was split there were further splits in 1966 to make more area available to the public however the original states no longer exist. A bird has a last name from their state of origin as only the current leader has eggs (Of course birds born before then still have old state last names), however they are passed to birds who want children. Their first name is decided by their parent and their middle name is their fathers.

Birdia
Birdia is a nation containing a bird-only population it was founded by a group of birds who still had a dislike for pigs after the war it was only made a state in 2007.

Goldum
Goldum is a mining state containing a strict law on how much you can mine in a month so there won't be a unfair distrubution of gold. It is a fair land and everyone who has died on their land has a gravestone in their home.

Walar
Walar is a desperately weak nation due to it being the remains of Splin and it is coming into question whether it's borders crossing the Warrior's River is disrespectful to those who've fought in the war causing great tensions between both sides. Walar is known for their great food and drink as-well-as being a battlefield during the war. It is often wet due to being a port-town.

Skyler
Skyler is the highest geographical state it is one of the most welcoming towards pigs and is very protective of their people it is famous for their cold environment during winter being the only state to enter minus numbers.

Chalan
Chalan is the state which was made to honour war victims it contains multiple cities and fields it also contains the capital of The Lost City: "Blorn" which is the memorial city for honouring victims and living in the future. There have been threats from the pigs to reclaim the land that they used to own in the war sparking controversy luckily a deal was made so the pigs could have half the land for themselves.

Petalia
Petalia is a rather small state born from unclaimed land from the war. It is usually the tourist attraction due to having nice hotels and food it is also home to cherry-blossoms beautiful red lights and and nice green grass. The sport of the area is football, often getting to play in the Birdipelao championships.

Garnadee
Garnadee is home to the most coverage of the Warrior's River it is also home to the largest amount of descendants from the original settlers it is also home to the easiest path to Skyler's mountain-face. Garnadee is slowly becoming entoxicated due to the amount of buried bodies from the war. However it is known for having the largest military out-of all the states.

Stolor
Stolor contains a harbor and is the home of the great rock-face. The sate is known for stinging nettles and fish which they often server to their people. They haven't had the benefits of Sponium yet and still rely on old bird technology, despite all this they are known as one of the greatest states in The Lost City.

Barian
Barian is the largest state out of them all. It isn't particularly scenic. They rely on using Rass as a food source due to their lack of plantation. It is the closest state to Tackwer, which is on a seperate island in the Birdipelago. Tackwer is seen as a deadly force who conquered multiple other territories and it has been under close monotoring because of threats being sent from them. It is mostly populated by pigs who are still trying to feel at home after the war.

Literature
Books are a staple in poorer and less tech-centric areas of the country most are auto/biographies and romance stories. In bigger areas birds are known for disliking reading, however they enjoy graphic-novels and comics, however in Walar the fantasy series "A Seed and a Hard Place" is enjoyed by many.

Food
Lost City has always been known for its great food product across almost every state. While most outsiders prefer basic foods the birds here are known for more advanced recipes and tastes. They're also home to the dish Baleamer, which takes different products from each state and is used as one large dish and is a good variety of dietary needs. Dishamon is another special dish which is only available in The City, it is often made with generic resources mushed together and sprinkled on-top of itself creating an interesting formula for a meal. Duppamal is a pudding that is exclusive to The City and is made using cold icy water and different citruses to be served for birds on the island. It is only served in Skyler and Walar.
