== The Quququqquq-speaking world ==
=== Quqqaäa ===
The official name of the country is ''Quqqaäau Uqaqaüquaqquq'' (Republic of the Commons). It is an eco-fascist country controlling most of the natively Kawenic-speaking area. It is allied with Furnifoo against Āínkiīaánịạkàì theocracies.
=== Aqqaüqüququq (Philopolis) ===
Aqqaüqüququq, also called Philopolis in English, is a liberal democracy unlike Quqqaäa. It controls Hokkaido.
To the rest of Angai, Aqqaüqüququq is regarded as very ethically progressive and a role model for society.
It plays a pivotal role in Timeline 3 (by rejecting capitalism in addition to religious fundamentalism and totalitarianism).
=== Alliance ===
Political refugees from Quqqaäa settled in the San Francisco Bay Area; they started a university and startup hub there, which eventually grew into Angai's Silicon Valley. Eventually "California" joined the Alliance and Quququqquq was made an official language of the Alliance.
=== Angai Hawaii ===
=== Differences between Quqqaäan, Philopolitan, and Alliance Quququqquq ===
Modern-day spoken Quqqaän Quququqquq can totally ditch the second person singular and use the plural for the new singular, and the plural with -uqqaqq for the actual plural (c.f. "y'all" and "all y'all")
so, i'm thinking that Quqqaäans may not even get into poetry that doesn't serve the ecofascist purpose so the 2nd person singular form is completely obsolete, and the -uqqaqq suffix carries political connotations of communality
but the people of Aqqaüqüququq really love their art, and they kept the T-V distinction in their dialect, so there are even spontaneous movements to generalize the old 2nd person singular to all formality levels like the Quakers
the association of the 2nd person singular with art rather than disrespect makes people want to prop it up
The pragmatics of the plural verb suffix ''-uqqaqq'' in Philopolitan Quququqquq are:
* inclusive when used with 1st person
* plural (rather than respectful) when used with 2nd person
* distanced/obviative/"the crowd" when used with 3rd person
the Alliance dialect of Quququqquq is closer to Quqqaäan Quququqquq but without some of the Quqqaäan pragmatics (-uqqaqq follows the Philopolitan standard)
