Kidzkdwyz

Kidzkdwyz /ki.riˈkɾy.ji/, officially Kidzkdwyz Möngxşr /ki.riˈkɾy.ji møn'ge.ʃø/ (“Kingdom of Kidzkdwyz”), is an East African nation consisting of two primary islands and at least three smaller islands (Kidzkdwyz and Eritrea have historically both claimed various minor islands in the Dahlak Archipelago). It is located in the southern Red Sea between Eritrea and Yemen. The nation is governed by a king who holds most executive power and the Supreme Council which holds legislative and judicial power.



Kidzkdwyz is ethnically unique. The nation is about 95% ethnically homogenous, being populated almost exclusively by the Yakzmsx /ɰaˈkɯm.za/ people who are believed to be descended from the first early humans to migrate out of mainland Africa. Only 1.8% of legal resident population are foreign citizens, most of these being East African or Middle Eastern immigrants that relocated to work in the Kidzkdwyz tourism industry.

They speak a language isolate also named Yakzmsx (which translates to “of the island”). Yakzmsx and Arabic are the official languages, but there has also been a steady increase of English speakers in the past few decades especially in larger cities. Most speak Yakzmsx fluently and 82% are fluent in a second language. Of those, about 10% speak an Eritrean language (Tigre, Saho, Tigrinya), 40% speak Arabic, and 32% speak English.

Christianity spread to Kidzkdwyz shortly after being introduced to Ethiopia in the mid-fourth century. Urban populations are ~65% Orthodox Christian, ~20% Sunni Muslim, ~10% Traditional, and ~5% atheist, while rural communities are ~60% Traditional, ~25% Orthodox Christian, and ~15% Sunni Muslim.

Official Name
The word “kidzkdwyz” translates to “first people” and the Yakzmsx would identify themselves as such to foreigners, as the Yakzmsx believe all human life originated on the island. Prior to the establishment of the unified kingdom the islands were segmented into various chiefdoms which were togethe referred to as Kidzkdwyz Hvamydaq/ˈʰβam.ʲdaŋ/ (Collective of the First People) or simply as Kidzkdwyz.

The current name Kidzkdwyz Möngxşr (Kingdom of the First People) was made official in 1919 when Plohdrn Dusxmzn established the new kingdom and crowned his father Dusxmzn Glevz the first Makrnzn (king). Plohdrn Dusxmzn also designed the country’s first official flag in 1918 as part of his establishment of the new nation.
