The Camniverse, an independent, interconnected fictional universe created by Cammzy Armster, originated from his early days on the Dream Fiction Wiki in July 2021 on Fandom, where he began writing Kamland, a fictional country composed of the constituents Camriya, Vurganda, and Kemsiya. It also included numerous pages covering fictional Kamland versions of American television channels, fictional people who contributed to Kamlandâs central languages and television output (Komraj Merguj, Jaqqiw Dwankuj, Joak Hugalo), record labels, drinks, and other media. All of this was later scrapped and heavily criticized by Cammzy Armster due to two factors: his self-described "cringe" attempt at worldbuilding and, notably, multiple plot holes and grammatical errors. It was brought back from the grave when Cammzy ventured into original character (OC) art and conlang-related worldbuilding in 2023. The Toyhouse account he created in January 2026 (initially to house the already-established Camniverse) is no longer active, as he wrote this Camniverse document to keep track of his character artwork, bios, and the fictional universe he rewrote for his constructed language called âKalennianâ (starting in August 2026).
Cammzy J. Armster (pronounced CAM-zee Jay ARM-stir, born October 2008) is a Georgia-born independent cartoonist, animator, YouTuber, and electronic musician based in Albany, whose incomprehensible, yet interesting work has been published online since June 2017 as he went through multiple stages of experimenting with mobile animation software, creating a YouTube channel called âblackjackson11â in 2020 where he showcased a variety of content (YouTube Poops, stick figure and logo-related animations, content featuring text-to-speech voices, and recently commentary videos), programming a (fake) one-off PowerPoint operating system coded with Visual Basic called âCamOSâ in 2022, and creating music that mixed hip-hop and intelligent dance beats with chaotic, glitchy power electronics elements under the former names of âCAWDJELâ (pronounced âcod-jellâ) and âHeavyHertzâ starting in 2021 and 2023, respectively, and ending in July 2025 to begin producing music as âCammzyâ on SoundCloud. He has also ventured into character art, as he first started publishing art in December 2023 on DeviantArt and Bluesky in September 2024 to later create the character âTangyâ, who became a staple of his Bluesky accountâs initial posts since its launch. As of late 2026, he is currently active on various social media platforms, including (but not limited to) âcamrenzza2008â (Reddit), âCammzy Armsterâ (all lowercase; on Bluesky), âc4mmzyâ (on Discord), âcammzyâ (SoundCloud), and âblackjackson11-on-DAâ (DeviantArt). He is the most active in the art, conlanging, and graphic design/logo communities. Cammzy has been influenced by a number of artists, musical talent, and online creators in his childhood, including (but not limited to) John Kricfalusi, HISHE, speedoru, hotdiggedydemon, Hyunâs Dojo, Jim Tozzi, David Lynch, Ryan Trecartin, Matt Groening, J.J. Villard, Cary & Michael Huang, Aphex Twin, Skrillex, Chime, Death Grips, Bill Wurtz, Vernon Chatman, Merzbow, Chic Young, Jim Davis, SOPHIE, 100 Gecs, Jane Remover, and many others.
The characters you are about to see in this document all exist in the Camniverse (âCammzyâ + âuniverseâ), which merged both my OCs (all which Iâve drawn since my venture into the art world in 2023) and the story I created for my artificial constructed language, Kalennian (started in 2024 and is creatively related to the broader Camniverse) into a creatively unified world since 2026. This document focuses on both, with great depth in every aspect.
Characters
Cammzy
Meta-bio
This character serves as the in-universe, official avatar/persona of the real Cammzy Armster (born 2008), whose traits do not match with the creator. They took their hobbies/interests and fundamentally exaggerated them to fit their avatar, aka how they draw/see themselves. It has been used since 2023.
Bio
Cammzy Josha Armster is a somewhat absent-minded, imaginative, unintelligent, and raging cartoonist whose only hope in life lies with his cartoon friends. They do dumb shit all the time, and when he and the crew derail things, he doesnât seem to care. And when things get high-stakes, he seems to feel a sense of peace and balance between all the chaos. At times he also thinks highly of himself, despite the trouble he causes, and doesnât treat the crew with sympathy in the slightest, but always works to fix their day when things go awry for them.
Main info
Full name: Cammzy Josha Armster
Nickname(s): Cam, Cammy
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Nationality: American
Species: Letterhead
Other Occupation(s): recording artist, producer, photographer, animator, breakdancer, performance artist
Born: October 10
Trivia
When the reference sheet above says âauthor avatarâ, I mean it is specifically portraying how I look in-universe (both literally and metaphorically). And the funny thing is the way I portray myself is just⌠a person, like every other character in-universe, and this might be the first avatar I've drawn where theyâre not at all portrayed as an all knowing, omniscient god/villain/other weird things. The story itself, if you can call it that, can still treat him like he's the creator, but the whole world knows heâs an ordinary person
Cammzy is a shapeshifter. He can change to any form (mainly consists of animals/objects but thereâs a myriad of life forms he can transform into) he feels comfortable with, even if itâs completely out of this world. The only life form he loves to shapeshift into is The Overseeing Orange Cloud, a state in which he can quietly manipulate the world around him and interfere with others at will, because fundamentally he can still change things around in-universe and mess with people all he wants. In other states, he is able to traverse the internet as an electronic spirit. In the past, he used this power maliciously as a teenager, often shoving sexually charged, incomprehensible, and offensive content down communitiesâ throats that got a rise out of people, got targeted by multiple predators/trolls/other toxic and weird people, and he was often kicked from several circles for not only acting nonsensical, but being a complete illiterate, clueless person and at worst a total menace. Cammzy can also be able to bend and stretch his arms to indefinite lengths, and can also have the power to shoot flashing lasers out of his nipples.
Angie (full name Angela Jamie Robertson) is an anthropomorphic angzarr who is Cammzyâs ex. She originally lived a life full of joy and exuberance, but after she got expelled from high school she met up with Cammzy to try and fulfill her promise of finding affection, something her friends and family never gave her, due to them abandoning her shortly after she was born. Of course, because of Camâs ability to influence anyone to do weird and unhinged things (as well as not caring much about their safety), they both got extremely drunk, started conflicts at parties and all lots of other fun stuff. Completely after that, Angie cut him off and started to become hostile, often torturing Cammzy with the snake wrapped around her L-shaped head every time the two interact once, and the only time she doesnât feel hatred towards him is when sheâs alone hugging her snake. Angie basically acts as the straight man of the story, as she is much more grounded than the others, either consisting of calling out anything insane or reacting to Camâs bullcrap. Angieâs design/concept is based off of the angzarr symbol, which is an obscure typographical symbol with an unconfirmed meaning.
Cammzy and all of his friends live in a four story apartment building located in Albany, Georgia, which is often subject to damage and occasional chaos. Despite all this, Lynda (the manager/landlord) has a lot of respect for his crew despite all of their flaws, but she has a hard time trying to get them in an orderly fashion when the committee starts events.
Cammzy is well aware the fourth wall exists, and knows heâs basically a character drawn by the creator to vent all their frustration and insecurities onto using the power of fiction, and can bend reality to a level beyond everyoneâs comprehension. And getting deeper into his meta mind, Cammzy himself knows how the audience interprets his own character and by extension the way he acts in response to the fourth wall, so he can instantly blur the lines between story and commentary/fiction and reality by using his ability to bend the universe.
Cammzy is polysexual.
Cammzyâs friends include:
Nebula
Info:
Full Name: Nebula Vega Armster
Nickname(s): Nebbie, Neb, Nebbs
Gender: Non-binary / Femme-presenting
Pronouns: they/she/xe
Species: Lagomorph alien
Personality: naive, stubborn, protective, laid-back, apprehensive
Note: This bio exclusively refers to Nebula with the neopronouns xe, xem, and xir, for consistency. Click here to learn more about neopronouns and their uses.
Nebula is Cammzy's (anthropomorphic) pet. Xe is tremendously bright and sometimes not aware of xir surroundings, but canât help but get into mischief or cause trouble. When things overwhelm xem or not go the way xe wanted, xir emotions tend to stir around and get the best of xem. Nebula is extremely protective of Cammzy; xe doesn't like how arrogant he gets and often tries to soften his feelings, but xe would never trade him for the world because xe loves him too much. Nebula is the only person Cammzy turns to when heâs creatively bankrupt.
Strengths:
Very adorable
Intelligent
Able to learn from others
Very creative
Weaknesses:
Can get easily emotional / distracted
Sometimes has trouble taking no for an answer
Trivia:
Xir tongue is extremely long.
Cammzy discovered Nebula from a short travel into the inner fabric (space) of the universe; he âaccidentallyâ made a hole in it, then it formed into a coagulated, fuzzy mess that eventually became Nebula. (Which also explains the insane variation of anthropomorphic species in the Camniverse)
Nebula has sharp claws. Xe can use them for a multitude of tasks, but predominantly xe just use them to grip onto things (especially when hugging Cammzy), scratch on surfaces, or open bags of chips.
Nebula is an omnivore.
Nebula has a habit of accidentally dropping a snack on the floor and eating it off the floor. Xir owner has tried to counteract this multiple times by house-training xem, which works, but then again it just ends in Nebula doing it once more, mostly because of xir impulsive curiosity.
Nebula, behind xir helpful personality, is overtly docile. Xe has been Cammzy's pet for a long time, but a lot of the problematic aspects of Cammzy's past-and-present activities and his dynamics with his friends have made xem so desensitized (and by extension, to xir perception of the world) that xe thinks that xe doesn't need the advice of others, when really they tell xem to stop being complacent.

Trivia:
Unlike most of the cast, Japoney is the only character written to not have ulterior motives/hidden emotional depth. Japoney does not ever have a closeted identity of anxiety or inadequacy, because he genuinely acts and feels the way that he does to simply have fun.

Bio
Roxxie LaRoux is a promiscuous bear working as a stripper and hooker at the local Racine strip club. She is confident in her abilities and has an extremely inflated sense of self esteem, but deep down, the influence that money gave her made her want to appreciate having sex, despite people telling her not to let it get to her head; she chose this because she thought she would make a ripple impact on society, which to everyone's surprise, worked. Despite the rough performances she often enacts at her strip club, she often has social awareness and does not tolerate impertinence from the other workers, and her main passion, aside from treating her job like a religion, is heavily advocating for practicing safe sex, trans rights, and autonomy of womenâs bodies.

Trivia:
The Bearingtons
Bradley âBradâ Griffin Bearington (born February 6, 1984)
Brad is Sheaâs fun-loving, goofy, protective, and embarrassing but charming husband. He deeply cares for her wife as well as caring for Aidan when heâs upset (he just cheers him up by either cracking jokes, playing pretend with him, or just tender loving care). When Aidan isnât around, he and Shea spend the night watching TV, dancing, kissing and hugging each other. Brad often enables Aidanâs misbehavior despite his wife being so clearly against it.
Keshawn âSheaâ Esperanca Bearington (nĂŠe âKeshawn Esperanca da Oliveiraâ; born November 28, 1987)
Shea is the calm, no-nonsense mother of Aidan, and Bradâs wife. Like Brad, she deeply cares for Aidan, but unlike cracking jokes, her anger often gets the better of her when he gets on her nerves (but not if he doesnât mean to). Despite her explosive, calculated, stern demeanor, she has a warm, gentle and loving side and frequently shares quiet moments with Aidan, including caring for his wounds or watching TV with him. Deep down, Shea is incredibly protective of her son Aidan, along with her husband, and will never let anyone get away with messing with/hurting her baby. In the past, however, she had a very angsty teenhood after the divorce of her abusive parents, and felt like she had no purpose in life, because she was denied respect and happiness as a woman, and by extension the building blocks she needed to construct it; when she dated Brad, she felt it wasnât right to circumvent all of her struggles and mental health issues, but Brad was actually very understanding about her plight that would later make their relationship all the worthwhile.
Aidan âAidyâ Keshawn Bearington (age 6; born April 30, 2020)
Aidan is an energetic and mischievous young cub with a vivid imagination and a knack for causing trouble. Despite his tendency to cause minor chaos (drawing on the wall with crayons, having potty accidents, showing his butt to people, messing with Sheaâs private things, running around the house naked, making fart noises, among others), Aidan is deeply affectionate and loyal to those he trusts. He wears green overalls and carries his beloved golden retriever plush Bobbi (who he loves to death) around the house (and the daycare he goes to, âRaccoonville Daycare Centerâ) and frequently sleeps with Bobbi. Aidan is also known for forming strong emotional bonds. Aidan has a crush on Jane, a 5-year-old human girl, but frequently gets flustered when Jane and him play together (however, heâs deeply fallen in love with Jane and thinks that sheâs beautiful). Janette "Jane" Myat Hillsman enjoys drawing peaceful pictures, singing, dancing, and mostly playing with Aidan; she doesnât like Aidan and his friends leaving for the day, Soleil being paranoid, and seeing Aidan sad, angry, or upset (because not only does she like Aidan, she really cares about him). Aidan dislikes baths, vegetables, and nap time. His daycare teacher is Ms. Sandie, who serves as the daycare teacher at Raccoonville Daycare, who deeply cares for Aidan and his friends Robert and Jane.
Louise Rachel Arledge (born April 25, 1975 (age 51))
Louise is the loving, caring, laid-back but very protective single mother of Robert. Louise used to be a Catholic priestess in her early years, but she had to step down from being a priest to focus on taking care of Robert. Much of her belief in God never faded away, but she does not pull out scriptures from the Bible in conversation (as her personality traits are meant to be a counterattack against Christian characters in media who are often depicted as overly religious and overzealous). Sheâs always there to soothe him when he has meltdowns/is crying/sad, and sometimes she strokes his ears or hums a lullaby to him during hugs. Louise can get rather stern when he acts up, but it always ends with Louise giving Robert tender-loving care when he needs it.
Rosarie Faith Arledge (born March 31, 1943 (age 83))
Rosarie is the stern, tough but caring grandmother of Robert (and the mother of Louise). She's an old school Catholic and she is terrifying if you do something to insult her (examples include using God's name in vain, or just being a gross religious zealot who pushes their Christianity onto other people). Rose is also exceptionally pessimistic, and isn't shy about putting Robert into shape when he steps out of line; her pessimism also (often) leads her to be more authoritarian, which is why Louise had a negative, one-sided relationship with her after she had Robert. Rose originally worked for the local church, in which she later gave birth to Louise and retired from her job to focus on taking care of Louise's son.
Robert Nathaniel Arledge (born February, 2019 (age 7))
The shy, soft-spoken, curious, gentle, and friendly son of Louise and grandson of Rosarie, and the best friend of Aidan. Robert is often prone to getting hurt and getting in trouble when Aidan pulls him in for a dumb mischievous prank. Aidan frequently loves to spend his time teasing him/clowning on him (and sometimes even bickering about stupid toddler things, but deep down he and Robert have a caring and fun-loving friendship). When Robert loses his temper, he often gets destructive; aside from just thumping (in anger) or pouting, he might knock things over, tear up paper, or throw whatever's in reach. His anger can be intense but short-lived, especially if distracted with snacks or comfort. His relationship with Aidan is ride-or-die; Robert always wants to look out for Aidan and hates it when heâs getting into mischief or pulling him into mischief, but they always have their backs. Robert has a crush on Soleil.
Alessandra Tess van Orman (born January 22, 1997 (age 29))
Ms. Sandie is the daycare teacher of Raccoonville Daycare (the daycare Aidan attends). She deeply cares for Aidan and his friends Jane, Soleil, and Robert (along with the rest of the pupils). She also isn't afraid to discipline others who break the rules (fairly) and makes sure everyone is following the rules. Aidan also really likes Ms. Sandie; he's scared of disappointing her when he does something he's not supposed to. Sandie is also very nurturing and motherly to the pupils at the daycare (especially when sheâs changing diapers, breaking up quarrels calmly, or treating wounds), as she acts as the recess aide for the daycareâs outdoor playground. She is of Dutch ancestry.
Anurak Seth Juangroongruangkit (born on May 22, 1978 (age 48))
Anurak Juangroongruangkit (pronounced roughly as: AH-noo-rack JOO-ahng-roong-roo-AHNG-kit; just called Mr. Juang) is the daycare admin/assistant of the Raccoonville Daycare Center. He is very stern and caring for the children at the daycare when they misbehave (especially Aidan), and seems to be the only one who arranges meetings with the pupils and their families (with Ms. Hopkins of course). But behind his intimidating appearance, Juang is actually quite gentle with the pupils, and mainly has a very soft spot for Aidan and his friends and is always there for them. Because of his absurdly long surname, the pupils just call him Mr. Juang; he doesnât like being called Mr. J. On the flip side, Juang originally lived in an abusive environment and his parents had outstanding health problems (most notably emphysema due to them being lifelong smokers); them choosing indignation over them actually taking care of their son made him the person he is today, pessimistic and feeling like no one can be able to help him and he doesnât want help (despite many of his friends and peers supporting him through his job as an assistant). He tries hard not to snap at the pupils (and he usually doesnât), and when he does he can get super angry and sharp tongued. But even then, he tries to push away that anger (and stay emotionally guarded) when it was the thing that stemmed from his abusive family, and he continues to strive to care for not only himself, but the community as a whole.

Trivia
Endemol
Bio:
Endemol is a television personality. He is mostly laid back and friendly, but on the bulk of his personality, he is an unhinged con man who has no problem putting peopleâs lives on the line for some cash. It doesnât mean heâs âcrazyâ, but itâs obvious he certainly doesnât care about human values and indirectly affects others; only if heâs making bank. He also likes to secretly stalk people in their homes and is so polite about it to the point where he treats it like a badge of honor. Endemol grew up with a very wealthy family, who were overly dysfunctional and materialistic and were heavily obsessed with the reality television scene of the olden days. He also had no part in his familyâs success, which is why he often turns to the bottle when he tries making himself the star of the world. Because of the abusive environment that Endemol was often pulled into in his youth, he always ends up lying about his family (who have likely already abandoned him after he became a television presenter) in increasingly shocking or bizarre ways.
Endemol, behind his deadpan demeanor, also brandishes quite a lot of irritation/anger; when things donât go his way he usually shrugs it off, but when things go more south than expected (north), his indignation goes through the roof, especially if itâs directly towards indifferent or otherwise trivial situations. And further beneath his sleazy personality, he is well versed and capable of self-reflection and awareness, especially awareness of the fact that he himself is the problem, but he pretends not to do so to improve his self-image.

Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality traits: mischievous, devilish, chaotic, destructive, energetic, fun-loving, gluttonous, aggressive, evil, sassy, confident, edgy
Likes: causing trouble, being nosy, sleeping, playing with other dogs, smoking, getting drunk, getting spoiled, eating
Dislikes: getting scolded, being attacked/insulted, getting in trouble, being forced to do things he doesnât want to do, getting picked up

Bio:
Gnawbone is a mischievous, troublemaking Yorkie. He mainly devotes his time to lounging around in peopleâs homes and going outside to play with other dogs. He is quite grouchy when heâs around overly nice/joyful people and also hates being around people who bully him all day, usually leading him to growl, snap, and bite at them. Gnaw also enjoys being childishly loud, audacious, and obnoxious to others. He only thinks of himself as a dominant apex predator who doesnât care about anyone elseâs feelings or safety.
Bio summary:
Gnawbone is a Yorkie Terrier with a penchant for making people suffer, causing trouble, yet has a soft heart beneath his cynical, foul-mouthed demeanor. He had social anxiety as a pup and would always invert it into aggression when he gets scolded or threatened by biting people's ankles or shoes; once he did a bit of self reflection he learned that he doesn't care if the world turns on him or sees him as a terrifying threat, but at the same time he wants to be seen exactly as one because of his hubristic attitude towards others.

Skye
Info
Full name: Brianne Clair Skye
Age: 39 (February 6, 1987)
Sex: Female
Nickname(s): Bree, Skye, Annie, Anne
Sexuality: Aromantic-Asexual
Species: Common blue butterfly
Bio
Skye is the absolute personification of Bluesky, a decentralized microblogging social media service. She is a fond believer of community, and trust in others' will to build relationships with others through mutual understanding. She is seen as an all-seeking butterfly (though she sees herself as more of an angel) living high above in the blue sky, however, through the website, she can translate herself into an interactive, self aware electronic spirit, often giving the users great freedom of expression, and she sometimes goes through an emotional spiral about some of the people complaining about Bluesky's blatant Al usage. Overall, she always feels optimistic about the everyday internet world, despite everything in the real world going horribly as of late.
Trivia
Skyeâs favorite drink (usually she drinks it when the website suffers an outage) is boba tea.
Despite Skyeâs strongly positive outlook on the internet world (and the real world), she has a bile fascination with politics (mostly its tendency to start heated debates on Bluesky)
As Skye is an anthropomorphic butterfly, her thorax (which is the torso in actual butterflies), being her (human) torso, doesnât have a digestive tract, which is instead in her abdomen (the thing on her backside, like real butterflies).
Skye was actually (ever so rarely) drawn by Cammzy for 2 years, with her first ever reference sheet being made on October 22, 2024, but it didnât get a full remake until May 2026.
Kadlish
Full name: Kadriel Conrado Sampaguita
Nickname(s): Kaddie, Kad, Kads, Kadlish
Age: 25
Ethnicity: Filipino-Canadian
Gender: transgender woman
Species: cocker spaniel
Sexuality: Bisexual
Size: 5'6" & 83 lbs
Pronouns: any pronouns (primarily preferring she/her)
Personality: prideful, carefree, intelligent, funny, flirtatious, peppy, sassy
Likes: partying, eating, going outdoors, dancing, making people happy
Dislikes: bugs, rats, people who don't value her, anchovies on pizza
Biography:
Kadlish is a Cocker Spaniel. She was originally a spirit animal who was conjured up by an ex-friend's subconscious memory to help them cope with their lack of companionship, compassion and self-worth; once Kadlish became more aware of reality around her and blended into the real world, she was more open to others, and it made her so much more happy that her friend saw her as a person (despite being relentlessly bullied by peers). She later cut her ex-friend off because they were involved in a drunk driving incident.
Kadlish is not without her flaws, however; because she is often respectful and kind, Kadlish becomes too accepting of the people around her to actually take action when they either take her for granted, manipulate her, backbite her, or don't treat her with the respect she needs. When she gets hurt, her anger takes her over because it's in her protective instincts, and her psyche isn't used to these kinds of situations where people will often patronize her or use her to get what they want. As of now, she still teaches herself to control her anger before it gets to her.
Before she was translated into the real world, in the Kadlish lived with a supportive and protective mother and father in the Philippines who would later move to Canada, where bigotry or racism would often target her and her family (not to mention her grandparents weren't too fond of Kadlish's gender transition). She later moved out due to her outstanding mental health issues following high school.
Because her spirit roots fully manifested in the real world (to clear confusion: even though she physically exists in the real world, her spiritual instincts are still there on the inside), Kadlish can access people's thoughts and intrinsically feel their affection/presence. When she gets lonely, it doesn't drain her soul, but it makes her less visible/transparent/weak and turns her emotional radar inward, making her stay in her head too much. She always tunes out these feelings by listening to music or hugging her stuffed rabbit.
Sasha
Full name: Sasha Veil Blackwood
Age: 18
Species: Ghost
Birthday: September 19
Likes: the internet, hiding in her "Void of Darkness", reading horror novels
Dislikes: making friends, being told off, being patronized by others
Bio:
Sasha is a generally down-to-earth and laid-back ghost girl, but cannot stand anyone around her and is often seen as mean, judgmental, spiteful or arrogant in the face of such things. She will also transform into her "monster form", a demonic, spiked-teeth version of her that is a manifestation of her repressed severe depression and anger that goes through the roof. She is an active user of the internet and frequently prioritizes it to try and get over her personal struggles, but it only ends in her complaining about those exact struggles online.
When she's not in her monster mode, she's also occasionally possessing other people's bodies (because she wants to make them suffer), being foul-mouthed, or sometimes passing out in her bed.

A map of the fictional country Rovârki-Trâsimku, marked in red.
Sylvester Karlos Bridgeman was born on December 16, 1634, in Liverpool, England, to a single mother, Carmen Winston Bridgeman. Sylvester grew up in a single-parent household with his younger brother, Tristan Carmen Bridgeman. During Bridgemanâs grammar school life with his brother, her mother had to travel to Boston to get away from her poor household status and her suffering from domestic violence and depression. His interest in language began when he was in grammar school and discovered the language sound shifts decades ahead of formalized historical linguistics, which also spurred a fascination with words and grammar. Bridgeman's secular and atheistic convictions influenced both his personal philosophy and professional goals, particularly his desire to create a worldwide means of communication. However, he didnât favor learning English in school, as he believed the languageâs chaotic spelling (due to the Great Vowel Shift) would not help him in life.
Once he dropped out (as his mother became more affluent and aware of his goals and ambitions), Bridgeman spent the majority of his career at the University of Oxford as a 19-year-old, where he did considerable study on language and cognitive science. In April 1660, at the age of 25, Bridgeman started creating Kalennian, a constructed language, as a passion project, and as a means of rectifying the misconceptions his peers had of him in his youth, as well as general problems in American society, like religious tensions. His vision was ambitious: he hoped to embrace both English and Kalennian, but also establish Kalennian as a unifying lingua franca in British America. His connections to British America gave him a reason to send writings, dictionaries, teaching materials, and correspondence across the Atlantic, and at this point was only associated with Bridgeman and a small circle of enthusiasts. He would exemplify this by publishing primers and correspondence, teaching people who travel between England and the colonies, developing contacts in Boston and other colonial ports, and eventually had students and supporters teaching it themselves. He also added numerous agglutinative and morphological elements to Kalennian, along with a variety of rules (which later grew to become more robust but messy in later times), due to him studying Uralic, Germanic, Algonquian, and Turkic languages like Hungarian, Nuxalk, Finnish, and Turkish. One year before his passing, Bridgeman authored a book titled "Guide to Unfolding Your Own Way of Speech." In it, he detailed his early life and his desire to create the Kalennian language, aspiring to make it accessible to those looking to break away from the colonial and restrictive traditions of the English language, and by extension, English culture. The book was later translated to 98 languages, the first one being Kalennian; the existence of Sylvester's book would also enlighten Kalennian people in the 21st century, most notably, the KTV co-founder Dekubinâ Kademyâ (who created a personal constructed language for a television channel), to make their own venture into linguistics.
Bridgeman's career lasted from 1677 until his death on February 21, 1712, owing to heart arrest; his body was not discovered until March 7, 1712. His remains were later interred at The Science Museum Burial Grounds. His colleagues and pupils paid him tribute with a simple memorial on the land, which has since become a pilgrimage spot for linguists, students, and fans of his work. Bridgeman's ongoing influence on language and cultural identity is reflected in the gravestone, which bears the epitaph, "In words, we find our worlds".
The ethnic group that emerged along with the transition of Kalennian from just a constructed language to a modern ethnocultural identity specifically originated from the country of Rovârki-Trâsimku.
Rovârki-Trâsimku initially started out as a small, largely separate remote island occupied by sailors Sotornâ Trâsimku and Lobâmna Rovârki (of African and English heritage, who were formerly enslaved, and fled the country to try and spread their mother tongue), along with multiple other people who shared the same linguistic identity and culture. They wanted to be independent of Britain after hundreds of Kalennians were deported from the Thirteen Colonies; the reason why Britain wanted to keep Kalennians captive is because they feared the fact that their language was being used in secret. This means that they could easily organize mutinies, coordinate smuggling rings, or pass intelligence to Britain's enemies (like the French or Spanish) right under the noses of British officers. As Kalennians were forced to migrate back to Britain via ship settlements, they still brought their language and culture with them as it became less influenced by the colonists. To survive British, Spanish, and French imperial aggression, Sotornâ and Lobâmna later settled onto a wide island in the Atlantic Ocean to avoid British colonizers, and use their language as a secure, uncrackable naval code. Sotornâ would further expand their landscape by allowing enslaved Indigenous and British immigrants who fled from Britain, only under the pretense that theyâve learned Kalennian. However, as this was the period where slave traffickers were operating illegally at an all time high, and colonial tensions started to rise, Rovârki-Trâsimku, as they recruited America along with their Kalennian allies, went on a long-winded war between the British army that lasted half a decade (February 1764 â March 1769), until Britain surrendered and later reached a ceasefire with Rovârki-Trâsimku.
Tensions started to escalate when Rovârki-Trâsimku harbored more refugees onto their land. Rovârki-Trâsimku responded to American ships trying to dock on the island demanding the return of enslaved refugees by frequently rejecting their demands out-of-hand, but didnât want British commanders getting ahold of them either, as they were also still on the fence about it. They often threatened them by saying if they opened fire in their harbor to force their way in, they could catch the attention of the Royal Navy. When British ships approached, Rovârki-Trâsimku used their intimate knowledge of local ocean currents to outmaneuver them or lure them onto dangerous reefs. Any American captain wanting to process a legal claim for an escaped refugee had to wait weeks for an official Rovârki-Trâsimku translator, who would intentionally drag out paperwork until the foreign ship ran low on provisions and had to sail back to port.
Rovârki-Trâsimku didn't view refugees as "escaped property", when anyone stepped onto Rovârki-Trâsimku land or boarded an Rovârki-Trâsimku vessel, they were legally considered a free member of the community under the protection of the covenant. Since Rovârki-Trâsimku couldnât escape getting flanked by aggressive foreign powers, they turned to heavy coastal defense operations, mostly against Britain since they werenât done fighting after the Great Century war. It is important to note that before colonial aggression started to take its course, the Kalennians, after harboring the free slaves, rejected the pretense that refugees in their island would learn their language in order to be a part of their alliance, because they either werenât familiar or didnât know about it; even though they had all reason to protect their mother tongue (using it as a language barrier to hold off British officers for so long), they couldnât protect themselves with a more robust naval presence. And through that, new arrivals in the region became farmers, fishers, craftspeople, sailors, builders, merchants, interpreters, dockworkers, etc, even if some weren't experienced enough to contribute to Rovârki-Trâsimku's maritime operations at the time. Even though Americans were deeply divided over R.T. harboring people escaping slavery in the Atlantic, many American merchants increasingly benefited from trading goods with them, while slaveholders remained fiercely hostile toward the island because they regarded its refusal to return escapees as an infringement on their property rights. They later settled on prioritizing constant human vigilance, basic harbor watches, and using simple early-warning systems; Rovârki-Trâsimku officials would constantly be on the lookout for foreign ships, and would light a smoke fire by day or a bonfire by night, or blow a horn whenever they spotted one. The signal would alert the harbor town long before the ship could reach a usable anchorage. And, whenever they spotted approaching foreign vessels, they would step out into the harbor mouth by approaching a patrol vessel, meeting the incoming ship, and then tell it what it wants or whether it has permission to proceed farther. They then decided to negotiate with them in a practical fashion, reminding foreign troops that approaching Rovârki-Trâsimku waters without permission breached maritime regulations. They would then drag out the negotiations by insisting on careful translation, formal procedures, or waiting for "higher harbor authorities" until the foreign ship withdrew, anchored offshore, or abandoned visit altogether depending on circumstances; this is all because Rovârki-Trâsimku knew that captains had orders, tight schedules, and limited supplies.
In the early 1800s (after America declared their independence from Britain in 1776, and getting to know more of Rovârki-Trâsimkuâs allies), America later went on to fight Britain again in the War of 1812, and found out that Rovârki-Trâsimku would be a massive asset for trade ships and American privateers willing to dodge the Royal British Army. The U.S. declared that European powers would not be allowed to enter the Western Hemisphere, and viewed Rovârki-Trâsimku as a crucial buffer zone against the European forces. However, maintaining Royal Navy operations against Rovârki-Trâsimku proved increasingly costly to Britain, as attempts to intercept Rovârki-Trâsimku vessels also disrupted American trade in the region. These operations became especially difficult to justify as Rovârki-Trâsimku continued to harbor people escaping slavery and refused British demands for their return. After British Parliament ended the slave trade in 1807, hundreds of thousands of people remained trapped in brutal slavery on British Caribbean plantations. Not to mention, black-market slave traders were still operating illegally throughout the Atlantic. Rovârki-Trâsimku was heavily against the slave trade and the Northern colonies have supported them plenty through their anticolonialist efforts (like the Great Century war) and anti-slavery societies in Boston helped raise funds, ship rifles, and send volunteer sailors to help Rovârki-Trâsimku defend its soil. R.T. continued to develop their naval forces as time went on while they still had an uncomfortable relationship with the United States (their relations considerably turned warmer in later years when the Union abolished slavery, and were a significant vocal supporter for them, along with both their respective efforts, however), who were divided over slavery. R.T. voluntarily raided British slaving hubs to free the enslaved (which drove the colonialists crazy), stole most of Britainâs vessels, among other drastic measures to prevent the invasion of Britain (again), because they wanted total liberation. Britain surrendered its claims over Rovârki-Trâsimku (around 1822), but the British Empire was still bitter about losing a strategic Atlantic island to a former refugee population. The Confederacy had individual Confederate cruisers periodically threatening RT-associated shipping or attempting to use nearby waters (because they viewed them as a threat for harboring the enslaved) starting in 1862; Rovârki-Trâsimku remained neutral to the Civil War, but they were otherwise increasingly hostile towards the Confederate Navy, and consistently maintained a blockade against the Confederacy (as in, closing its own waters and ports to Confederate vessels), as they didn't want them interfering anymore and refused every single ship in their fleet. Meanwhile, the United States continued to legalize chattel slavery all the way until 1865, placing Rovârki-Trâsimku in the awkward position of having a strategic compact with a nation (the US) that still practices the very thing Rovârki-Trâsimku fought to destroy. Rovârki-Trâsimku later decided the national fight against slavery wasnât worth it, the Royal Navy and Rovârki-Trâsimku both parted ways via a peace deal, and Rovârki-Trâsimku focused on developing their technological advancements, agriculture, working on making their naval base more resilient, and lining up the scattered communities caused by the rapid expansion of the Kalennian diaspora.
Following their independence on March 7, 1823, Rovârki-Trâsimku adopted a new name, âAtonomât Demokrâtyât Republikâ go Rovârki-Trâsimku âm Nirtât Alantikaâ, or, in English, âThe Autonomous Democratic Republic of Rovârki-Trâsimku in the Northern Atlanticâ (now known as simply âRovârki-Trâsimkuâ or abbreviated using the acronym âRTâ). The âautonomousâ part of the name does not designate a territory being controlled by a bigger entity, as it has a more centralized meaning in Kalennian political circles, meaning âself-rulingâ.
They later adopted a representative democratic system that reflected its communal traditions and rejection of centralized colonial rule. It is important to note that even though Rovârki-Trâsimku is independent of Britain and the US, they still have a compact with the US because of their involvement in the war they had with Britain as mentioned above. Rovârki-Trâsimku also installed Uniformâ Rosâmkiye as their primary governor in 1975 (after their first governor, Avâricâ V. Kacâ, died in January 1970), until she was impeached in 2010 (and convicted later in 2011), due to her incompetence while trying to resolve the Overcast Scandal, and the sexual misconduct allegations against her by her husband. Gâbhudu Rovârki, an employee of KTV since 1998, was later appointed to be the current governor of Rovârki-Trâsimku in 2014.
In this representative democracy, the governor (Kalennian: atrângisâr) is the executive leader that enforces laws, regulations, commands defense, and handles foreign affairs. The legislature process consists of the countryâs national council formed in 1940 and based in Sitâlhe go Trânkilte (its capital city) by the regional and metropolitan delegates of the country (Kalennian: Strânât Konselyâ go Rovârki-Trâsimku; English: National Council of Rovârki-Trâsimku), who pass laws, set policies and approve national budget, along with The Blue Circle. The judicial branch is occupied by the National Supreme Court (Kalennian: Strânât Ăstomalye Tribunâl go Rovârki-Trâsimku), which administers laws, resolves legal disputes, and has absolute power over the constitution and stops council or governor actions that might violate the constitution. Tripartite arbitration panels are also often held in the National Supreme Court. The Supreme Court was established in 1942 to restore order, but it couldn't have absolute authority over the governor or the council, as they could easily bypass constitutional law (funding the failed antimatter plant, minimizing rural workersâ rights, etc.) until the restructuring of the government after Rosâmkiyeâs impeachment.
Citizens have the power to vote for governors, but generally do not directly elect delegates to the National Council, as delegates are ordinarily selected by the regional and metropolitan municipal governments governing that territory; however, communities that maintain recognized town-hall assemblies are permitted to select their delegates through participating citizens instead. The governor is the only power in the government to possess the popular mandate, so it gives them public leverage. Governors can exercise the right to veto laws passed by the council; for example, if the council passes a law and the governor vetoes it,  at least 64% of the countryâs total national population can sign a petition for the veto to trigger a national public vote; initially, governors could veto a law passed by the council, and that was it, as they couldnât override the governorâs authority, but again, the council was restructured once Rosâmkiye was impeached. Despite the population of Rovârki-Trâsimku being so divided and containing all kinds of ethnic diversity, there can only be a single time where the majority can push a petition to overrule a veto: if the governor vetoes an overwhelmingly popular law or otherwise causes a sufficiently broad political crisis; the governor plays divide-and-conquer when they feel safe using their veto - if the governor vetoes a law that fishermen favor, the suburban residents wonât care about it, and vice versa. This doesnât mean that the population can focus on just the same issue; as said before, R.T. is ethnically and racially diverse and several different people have several different views and beliefs and can care about one thing or another, making the divide-and-conquer advantage unreliable. Only the countryâs most profitable cities (Sitâlhe go Trânkilte, Sitrobân, Hopeyâdrita, etc.) could hold huge town hall meetings every year, and most territories without a localized council can still agree with the council's legislative elections, but it often ended up being the national council taking the majority instead of the local council, which resulted in heavy disputes between the two parties. Historically, governors of the country had no term limits, which means that they allow governors to run for re-election any time they want, which is why Rosâmkiye ran from 1970 to 2010 (because of authoritarian backsliding and brutal corruption of the constitution during her tenure). Once the council was restructured, the constitution was reworked to have governors serve only four-year terms, but if they want to, they can run for re-election any time they wish, provided they win a general election each cycle (much to the dismay of some members), and elections only last every four years. The National Council also oversees the regional and metropolitan municipalities (local governments) that govern each city and town. The governorâs authority is checked by the Council, the Court, and the people.
Kalenniansâ specific practice of Christianity is called âThe Blue Circleâ (Kalennian: Yâ Ăsurle Sirkâla), which turned into a secular, egalitarian denominational practice, inspired by the philosophy of Sylvester K. Bridgeman, who believed language shapes reality. The religious community began as a secular covenant, but over generations the âlanguage-as-realityâ principle became mythologized into God-given language - in later tradition, they teach that Kalennian is a sacred tongue given to them by God, but not the person who created it, knowing that it holds communal and responsible value. Over time, devotion to the Kalennian language did not disappear, but it shifted from being a sole focal point to becoming one pillar among many, as the community increasingly framed its mission as spreading its collective ethical tradition (what they call their âgospelâ) with other communities, rather than conquest. After decades of reading and practicing the Bible together, they reinterpreted it through their own communal values. They also reinterpret God as an omnipresent being who gave mankind language to spread their own shared consciousness and stewardship across the universe, without authorizing hierarchy. The Blue Circle is a part of R.T.âs wide national council, specifically the legislative body of the council. It gets a majority of its public funding from the council, as well as local governments, and has operated some of the biggest community and educational institutions around the country, including "Yâ Vâmodyo go Sitâlhe âd Sitrobân" (English: The University of Sitâlhe go Trânkilte and Sitrobân), which was Rovârki-Trâsimkuâs first ever incorporated educational institution. It also funds public infrastructure.
It wouldnât be until the 18th-20th centuries that Rovârki-Trâsimku would become more advanced in terms of technology, science and innovation, investing in national energy system strategies, developed unusually sophisticated chemical-processing techniques, initially driven by marine-resource extraction, medicine, dyes, and materials research, as well as minor participation in American reconstructive movements and societal efforts, as every Kalennian of every diverse background and idiosyncratic style and distinct cultural traditions had brought out a plethora of artistic disciplines that would further define its culture. Following increased exposure to American electronic television and broadcast technology in the 1950s, Kalennians rapidly adapted the technology for domestic use and would become a new use for the country as a major driving force for their first ever endeavors in the television, internet, and radio industries.
R.T. currently recognizes eight cities and 10 towns (the fifth one being unincorporated), all of which fall within one or more of its âmunicipalitiesâ (Kalennian: munisipâlni, or, to be more specific, lokâlidho givârnanni; lit. âlocal governmentâ):
Municipalities, in this country, are not a layer of constituent states/provinces with separate sovereignty. The individual cities actually had their own individual local governments once, but they were not made independent by the constitution or recognized by the government itself. The cities still have their own distinct identity and set of rules as per the council, just not independent jurisdiction. Each city sits inside a municipality, and that municipality governs it alongside other cities, towns, villages, and rural territory. Of course, like any other city, they usually have town halls, committees, neighborhood councils, etc., but those arenât necessarily full governments with their own executive/legislative bodies.
Municipalities in R.T. are delegated authority by the national council of R.T., and they are able to hold their own executive and legislative powers. Municipal executives (Kalennian: Lokâlidhe Aministrâtisâr, lit. "Local Supervisor"; shortened to "Lokâstrâ") carry the laws out and oversee agencies or committees. They cannot override the legislative authority of the national council itself. Municipalities also govern the settlements (towns) sitting within municipal territories,  but the towns' communities are granted only limited local authority. Both regional and metropolitan municipalities frequently join together and share their respective responsibilities with each other, otherwise known as a joint administrative system. It has been known to cut costs, and help local governments work more effectively in order to maintain the overall economy, but it often results in either the regional side spending more resources available for cargo and water access, or the metropolitan side spending more on infrastructure and national highways. Rural areas in particular rely heavily on agriculture, indigenous farming and all kinds of maritime labor, as well as coastline protection, and it's been the framework for R.T. since the 18th century.
On the countryâs map, you can see that the metropolitan border is sandwiched between the rural perimeter, but Rovârki-Trâsimkuâs terrain outside of that does not follow the municipal boundaries of the entire nation. R.T.âs major coastal settlements consist of an unincorporated settlement at the southern edge of Bânvorka (which is unlabeled even though you can still see the small dot, therefore designating it as a town of Bânvorka), Lubrikâ Harvestâga (the southâs most prominent oil production area), Kondusâbha (a port town where a lot of the international cargo is handled), Linâm go Grâmina (a town where its community relies on heavy lawn maintenance, including dethatching, livestock production, public food processing, etc.), Militâr Akuâtdâsorya (a town in Amildâgkeseyo that handles military operations and firearm manufacturing), Dorâdayât Bovinâ (a town that also handles their fair share of livestock and farming, but they also share their resources with Linâm go Grâmina), Grâpo go Tâsalhokiyeni (a central southwest town in Sitrobân that specializes in prefabrication, provides dense housing resources and supplies, and frequently exchanges their services with Sitâlhe go Trânkilte), Sâveta (a city in the southernmost corner of the nation, where it trades its pottery and additional ceramics resources with Lubrikâ Harvestâga and other cities near the central west), and Skipâ (a town in central western Sitrobân whose shipbuilding industry manufactures vessels for maritime communities throughout R.T., supplying fishing, cargo, passenger, and other coastal operations). Going back to the nationâs terrain, each coastal settlement around the country has a sandy coast, which can vary considerably in width. This is most prominent in Pensâkol, which has an unusually wide sandy waterfront connecting its beaches with the surrounding Atlantic Ocean. The reason why Pensâkol (in Sitâlhe go Trânkilte) in particular has such a wide beach resort is because they also have a dense housing complex, plus a wide town hall administered by the metropolitan municipality that's all over the resort, before people reach the actual beach. There is also a major river system extending across much of the country. In the east, it passes through Hârduk before branching through Hopeyâdritâ and its settlement Mobukâd, where its eastern and northern branches eventually empty into the Atlantic. Another branch extends northwest through Eslovân and central-western Sitrobân before branching again near Pensâkol and reaching the Atlantic there. As Rovârki-Trâsimku is an island surrounded by the Atlantic, all of the river systemâs outlets ultimately drain into the same ocean. The country itself also has low-relief plains all over the north, south, west, and extending into the central east, where a valley is formed across Amildâgkeseyo, Hârduk and Hopeyâdritâ.
Unlike the local governments, every settlement (town) across the country is economically interdependent and shares all their responsibilities and resources, a form of economic and domestic circulation. Â
As the metropolitan municipality focuses on their railway lines, housing, and high speed fiber optic internet, this makes seafood maritime transportation more hard for fishermen because the metropolitan areas almost consume the rural areas, and usually have to travel by train or bus to provide food and water from the water supply. R.T. predominantly depends on public transport, food, farming, and water transit. Transit authorities initially debated whether to issue a tax that all maritime workers have to pay in order to ship their cargo to other cities; however, they immediately backtracked at the last second (when rural supply pressure increased) and decided to form the Cargo Compromise Act of 1982, because itâs something they thought could bite them if they didnât try to appease it. This would backfire on them, as workers found more and more loopholes, like hiding seafood cargo at the bottom of passenger luggage, or disguising water canisters as personal baggage. To clarify, in this era of the countryâs constitution, taxes were only considered "taxes" because their primary purpose in Rovârki-Trâsimku is to raise revenue, but a fee is something that a worker is going to have to pay in order to continue with physically demanding workloads, whose people already represent a significant portion of the nation's economic output.
To appease urban commuters, the transit authority introduced a mandatory paid fee; a physical or digital stamp required for any container carrying liquids, fresh fish, or raw produce on passenger lines. They promised the revenue would supposedly go toward cleaning fees, leak-proof cargo liners, and building designated, retrofitted freight trains to haul messy, wet cargo at the back of passenger trains (called âwet cargo carsâ), but instead, the money went directly towards the central transit budget, the wet cargo cars were rarely built, and fishermen were left paying a daily fee just to do their jobs, which results in more outrage. It is also important to note that rural maritime workers get paid more, but they still get significantly less involvement in local affairs than their suburban counterparts. To counteract this, they often use their high earnings to fund media and political campaigns. If that didnât get the metropolitan to cave in, they would also take action by commencing wildcat strikes all across Rovârki-Trâsimku, which was then outlawed by the council. This severely disrupted the water distribution feeding all cities to slow down, and the seafood markets wrapping around Sitrobân and Sitâlhe started winding down. Considering this was the 1990s and still under Rosâmkiyeâs rule, she decided to side with the capital, but only gave more financial aid to the regional municipalities, so that they would focus more on the food and water supply powering their cities, instead of addressing the actual problem that rural communities had. So, even though most people were happy that the Cargo Compromise Act was declared unconstitutional by the Rovârki-Trâsimku judicial court and ordered Rosâmkiye to shut it down, she was not done.
In 2005, a demographic survey conducted by the Council found that only 61% of suburban communities did not regularly attend town hall meetings (regardless if theyâre recognized by the government). A delegate chosen by a local town hall represents that community institutionally, but they donât necessarily have the active support of everybody living there. For example, if a huge number of people live in a suburban city, and only a fraction show up to select the delegate, the resulting delegate still gets the seat even though most residents never participated. Three delegates that formerly served the Council, Kodhidâ Tvikenâ, Dârvobi Invatâ, and Tâmedo Gârisilki, during a local convention celebrating KTVâs 27th anniversary of being on air, later claimed suburban delegates were out-of-touch politicians who couldnât actively back their working-class residents.
To try and cushion the rising traffic in metropolitan municipalities (dealing with transit, housing, utilities, and other public-service costs), the R.T. Council announced they would be cutting the minimum wage for all suburban residents; the Councilâs official rationale was grounded in an economic stabilization theory: they argued that the ballooning costs of metropolitan operations were forcing businesses to either slash hiring or relocate entirely. This resulted in backlash from both parties, as both suburban and maritime workers often commute into expensive metropolitan centers and move between municipal boundaries for often physically demanding working conditions. To mitigate this, the suburban and maritime workers all around the country formed a joint labor union, where they retain their leadership and specific demand, but ultimately bargain together on shared issues and can coordinate industrial action; instead of arguing over culture or politics, both groups agreed to keep their separate political beliefs while leveraging their combined economic weight. They later built upon this working relationship by synchronizing strikes across both sectors, using maritime worker leverage to refuse offloading goods destined for metropolitan-based corporations. This caused a significant problem for the Council, as maritime workers could disrupt certain goods and services operations, while suburban workers were spread throughout a bunch of metropolitan employment and services. Their leverage simply comes from the fact they occupy different parts of the economy, but they were ultimately divided politically by the government when it was overruled by Uniformâ regardless, so they wanted their economic power back. The union formed in 2006 was called the Joint Board of Kalennian Labor (Kalennian: Minâkassok Konselyâ Ulonyoga go Kâlenilâbor; abbreviated as MKK or colloquially as Minâkas), and recently developed diplomatic relations with America; the U.S. directive supplies funding, resources, diplomatic cover, and training support for the union. Considering that the Council outlawed wildcat strikes after Kacâ and Rosâmkiye rule, the union would form an industrial peace agreement with the government when both parties agreed to not organize nationwide strikes anymore, and resulted in the government granting full (additional) legislative power to Minâkas (basically guaranteed permanent voting seats for them without them having to protest outside), suburban and maritime wages were made legally tied into inflation and corporate profits, and disputes were diverted toward tripartite arbitration courts. However, even if Minâkas leadership agreed to no more strikes, the relationship that casual workers have with union leaders are complex and difficult to reconcile as of today. After the 2007 peace agreement was settled (and the voting powers were redirected back to recognized suburban and maritime labor representatives contributing to the countryâs economic development and the citizens), the union later disbanded in 2008 (only two years before Rosâmkiye was impeached), as many of them returned to their respective sectors, and felt more empowered by their culture rather than constantly fighting over political power. The council wouldnât start scrambling if the two parties re-coalesced into the union, because it was simply made at a last-minute emergency break to abort governmental overreach, but if they do something reckless, the obvious practical answer is to protest (without grouping up into a political party, which isnât necessary now anyway) until they cut it out. The labor union that disbanded later formed elsewhere in the United States, where only half of the maritime workers contribute to the American marine economy.
In reality, underneath her authoritarian-influenced family working with her and her corruption of the constitution, the judicial branch was keeping an eye on Rosâmkiye the whole time as, while they prioritized the modified pet lines from Sitâlhe go Trânkilte and Sitrobân, desexing practices, and the exploitation of their kinetic agility in trade logistics and port security of the sokamâr, an exotic and essential species native to Rovârki-Trâsimku, they (privately) funded the additional welfare for feral sokamârs (that former governor Kacâ promised in the 1965 Compromise) behind closed doors in 2002, and they only ever prepared to convict her once they gained final constitutional jurisdiction when the sexual abuse allegations against her came out and she was impeached.
The production of antimatter in the city of Hârduk, Rovârki-Trâsimku, was by a group of accomplished nuclear engineers, Dâvis Edinyu, Balyâkhe Plukâ, and Paulâ Silvestâr, among others, where they were discussing their past high-energy particle experiments associated with hydrogen/plasma research. One of them suggested that antimatter's annihilation process converts 100% of its mass into energy (though the technical details were more different and precise; electronâpositron annihilation can yield photons; proton-antiproton annihilation produces a messier collection of particles) and the group conducted a series of experiments that lasted a couple of months. Later, they held a meeting in the National Council detailing how they will prepare Rovârki-Trâsimku for its new gas fields going forward by placing the antimatter in the underground storage tanks and shielding it against toxic radiation. This was obviously horrifying, as not only was the antimatter in question created in the local particle physics laboratory that was occupied by the engineers at the time, but the shielding, electromagnetic infrastructure, and containment research paid for the antimatter gas in order for it to not escape from the tanks cost billions, which took up the rural and suburban areas still trying to get by. The antimatter program later became politically indefensible and impossible to keep going; maritime workers got increasingly frustrated as public funds for water infrastructure and other municipal services diverted toward the antimatter supply program and held a nationwide wildcat strike (along with the suburban communities) demanding that the governor (for context: the governor during this period was Avâricâ Volunkiye Kacâ, who was elected in 1947 until his death in November 1969) shut down the antimatter energy plant set up by the council. Physicists repeatedly complained about the limitations of the antimatter energy supply, but the damage was already done. Funding for all national supplies of R.T. were frozen, which shocked many people, but this wasn't over, as Avâricâ set out an independent investigation audit, without the council, to find where all the billions of money went to. He found numerous financial records of the engineers behind the program also included putting their funding into American nonprofit front organizations secretly operating illegally (under nonprofit status) to share their natural gas resources (produced from wells) with the energy program, as well as routing appropriations through said organizations, which then purchased fuel, technical equipment and other materials for the R.T. program. Avâricâ later listened to the nationwide community's advice by stripping antimatter from its national energy strategies altogether, and making it illegal to produce for national use in later months. Because of the political fallout that came from the scandal, Avâricâ, National Council, and the citizens all later reached a compromise on February 7, 1965, that addressed everyday issues, including Sokamâr domestic and feral welfare. Hârduk's particle-physics laboratory survived after this disastrous failure, but it would later be abandoned and reworked again as a local high school serving rural residents in 1980.
All cities and towns across R.T. heavily depend on not only the domestic supply of the country, but also the supply from numerous foreign sources, notably the U.S. as they frequently trade their goods and cargo with Rovârki-Trâsimku and vice versa. This obviously stemmed from their history as a maritime trade economy; while the sailors that occupied the island harbored several enslaved Brits/Africans during early life, they would gradually become facilitators of seafood, harvested marine resources and minerals, and transportation and cargo services, and would heavily rely on fishing and marine transport across borders. They would also often trade their cargo, goods and services with American merchants.
Aside from being a highly interconnected country in the Northern Atlantic, Rovârki-Trâsimku is also known for domesticating wild animals across generations (some species that they tried to tame came with severe consequences, however), of which lions are the most common. Rovârki-Trâsimkuâs coat of arms (and national seal) includes two heraldic lions rampant on the escutcheon; this reflects the nationâs longstanding treatment of the lion as a sacred animal, symbolizing the protection and strength of the Kalennian diaspora. Rovârki-Trâsimku has maintained a captive lion population since 1703, when lions were first brought to the island from Africa. Over subsequent generations, the population was selectively bred for greater tolerance of humans, manageable temperament, and adaptation to life in Rovârki-Trâsimku, while still remaining visibly a lion, eventually developing into a distinct domestic population across the north, west and east. The selective breeding system of lion populations later created a subspecies of lion, called Panthera leo heraldicus (formerly classified as Panthera leo domesticus; Kalennian: Gloriyâ pantherâ; lit. âGlorious lionâ), which mainly evolved their behavioral traits and hunting habits. Heraldic lions in Rovârki-Trâsimku were first historically used in the 1700s for transportation of cargo, but this would later be dropped and their use became more widely accepted for transportation of homebuilt vehicles over short distances (since they were already heavy animals by design), guarding important settlements, assisting with hunting, and were often used as ceremonial animals in religious congregations, where Kalennians would often bathe and decorate them with flower crowns. Their use would be occasionally experimented with by the Kalennians, until the Americans got increasingly scared of them, even though they've been selectively trained and bred specifically for calmness around humans and tolerance of harnesses. This would cause American ports to start closing. Because they didn't have any other economically significant uses for the lion, scientists in the mid 1700s started genetically engineering a new (ancestral) species that could handle cargo work much more efficiently (eventually called "sokamârni"), and then they planned to try and habituate both lions and sokamârni's presence when the former reaches considerable temperament around species other than itself in later years. Over generations, they began conditioning and properly socializing the lions to recognize them as non-threats, while a sokamâr learns that these enormous animals are also not threats. Further evolution shaped the lionsâ dynamics with the sokamâr; they would respond faster to their cues, independently respond to threats that threaten the colony (which lions are not a part of, but they work closely together with some individuals), recognize grief from sokamârni to slowly approach them and push their muzzle into their head to comfort them (not all lions automatically do this however; individuals that are bonded with sokamârni often do this), distinguish sokamâr play from defensive aggression, respect salient warning signals and physical boundaries, recognize yalkânni as socially protected individuals (and display alloparental behavior toward the yalkânni of familiar sokamârni, including grooming, nuzzling, guarding, responding to distress, and gently redirecting them in ways resembling their treatment of lion cubs; this behavior is most strongest between bonded/familiar animals, however), and investigate distress calls produced by familiar individuals. As of now, the heraldic lion in Rovârki-Trâsimku still serves as a secular, glorious icon of Kalennian culture, receives traditional bathing and floral adornment rituals during major holidays (which maintains the ceremonial bond established in the early 18th century), receives specialized veterinary care, prophylaxis, and training, and is frequently distributed around Africa from Rovârki-Trâsimku partnering with African sanctuaries and wildlife reserves, where they are integrated into managed semi-wild environments.
The sokamâr and its survival were unfortunately threatened by foreign hunters looking for meat to harvest in the early-to-mid 1930s, therefore leading older sokamârni to deliberately self-endanger themselves to save their colony: an older sokamâr recognizes an immediate threat to it (especially yalkânni and younger adults) and deliberately draws the threat toward itself, stays between it and the others, or refuses to retreat while the rest escape. This behavior can turn fatal, hence historical observers describing them as "sacrificing themselves", an inherently human, abstract concept. Americans (particularly during this period) thought they could hunt them for meat; they occasionally paid close attention to their behavior to try and target them, but they never developed sufficient understanding to actually know their cues and complex social interactions in-colony, so they just went straight to hunting, because to them, it's simply an easier individual to target. Rovârki-Trâsimku's massive protection and loyalty to the sokamâr later drove the government to make strict anti-poaching/hunting laws, banning the act altogether starting in 1938: killing one for sport, meat, trophies, or commercial harvesting becomes illegal; deliberate poaching gets substantially harsher penalties; exporting sokamâr-derived meat/products becomes prohibited; and neither foreign nor Kalennian hunters donât receive any convenient legal exemption from the protection afforded to the species. To further tackle this problem, they simply couldn't legislate what America does with the sokamâr outside of the country (since the population is highly concentrated in the U.S. East Coast), so they had to pressure them diplomatically (provide evidence about the speciesâ domestic status and social behavior, push for comparable protections, restrict sokamâr-related trade from jurisdictions that tolerate hunting, etc.) in an effort to secure comparable protections for American sokamâr populations. After 1938, RT repeatedly requested the whole country to ban hunting because they consistently rejected negotiations, Kalennian public anger escalated, and the U.S. initially misunderstood their frustration and intensity because, to some Americans, the sokamâr is an unusual foreign creature with established populations across the East Coast, and to Kalennians, theyâre watching another country permit people to kill an animal that has been intertwined with Kalennian society for generations. After the hunting controversy ended, existing sokamâr welfare services from Rovârki-Trâsimku spread over to the East Coast and in later years are distributed geographically, giving more American feral sokamârni access to the same kinds of support already normalized in RT, which sparks further peaceful contact with the sokamârni (since before the 1930s, sokamârni are already known specifically across the East Coast, but American scientific knowledge traces back much further), foster care demonstrating that they can function normally around humans and keeping the sokamâr as a pet are incidentally normalized by 1975.
Kalennians (Kalennian: Kâlenitikânni; lit. âKalennian peopleâ) are a human ethnic group native to Rovârki-Trâsimku. Kalennians (of various races) live in various regions all around the United States. They have established communities where they use the Kalennian language as their primary language of communication (with English at some points being used alongside it). The Kalennian people participate in their everyday life in work, internet, and socialization. They have a variety of occupations, including jobs in majorly respected fields, such as healthcare, veterinary care, education, military service, technology development, railway and highway safety, science/biomedical engineering and research, political science, business, and entertainment. Children who speak Kalennian attend schools where the Kalennian language is used as a teaching tool/subject. Kalennian communities that developed across generations are also widely established outside Rovârki-Trâsimku, particularly in the United States, and highly concentrated throughout Europe, Asia and Africa, forming a substantial international diaspora. People of Kalennian descent in the United States are commonly referred to as Kalennian-Americans. Kalennian speakers also use contractions in informal speech, which have become extremely common in Kalennian internet culture. For example; when the definite article 'yâ' is added at the start of a word that begins with 'a' or 'â,' it becomes a contraction. Examples include 'yâ abinsi' ('the food') becoming 'y'abinsi,' 'yâ artadhâk' ('the scissors') becoming 'y'artadhâk,' and 'yâ âgone' ('the pain') becoming 'y'âgone.' The apostrophe used to form contractions is often dropped.
Kalennians who have learned/are learning English/have acquired English as a second language speak the âKalennian Englishâ variety of American English. Kalennian English is characterized by unique phonological and spelling-based conventions, as it modifies both the consonant and vowel inventories of traditional English, introducing specific rules for pronunciation, stress, and spelling that distinguish it from standard varieties. In Kalennian English, consonants like /tÍĄÉŹÉš/ and /dÍĄÉŽÉš/, which are lateral affricates, replace sounds in clusters like "tr" and "dr" (e.g. "try" becomes /tÍĄÉŹÉšaj/ and "drown" becomes /dÍĄÉŽÉšaun/), however later progression killed off the use of these and were replaced with /tĘÉš/ and /dĘÉš/, but Kalennian instinct usually causes them to still pronounce them laterally. Words with âwhâ are simplified to /w/, and words that are pronounced /w/ without the letter <w> present are simplified to /v/. The vowel /i/ before a consonant is immediately pronounced /a/, /a/ before a consonant is pronounced /É/, /l/ (placed at the end of consonants in American English) is simplified to /Él/ in Kalennian English, and âuâ before consonants is simplified to /É/. The word âandâ before a word starting with a consonant has the /d/ sound in /and/ dropped. The consonant /ð/, often represented by "th" in words like "either," remains intact, but final voiced /z/ sounds are replaced with voiceless /s/ at the end of words. The vowel system simplifies and regularizes many English diphthongs and triphthongs: for example, âoyâ and âowâ become /oi/ and /au/, "ou" becomes /aw/ or /ow/, "ai" monophthongizes to /a/ or /e/, and "tion" endings are transformed to /sjon/. Stress is consistently placed on the first syllable, unlike Kalennian itself, where primary stress is optional on any given syllable. English vocabulary incorporation in the Kalennian language is not as widespread today.
American English features repeatedly feed back into Kalennian English. With continued exposure to American English, some distinctly Kalennian realizations gradually shift toward their American equivalents, although traces of Kalennian articulation may remain. This influence is largely unidirectional: Kalennian English does not significantly alter the phonology or grammar of American English, nor does sustained contact with regional American dialects substantially alter Kalennian English, making the variety unusually resistant to dialect contact. This does not prevent Americans from borrowing Kalennian words, for example, the Kalennian word for their native species âsokamârâ, which was contracted and lexicalized from the full compound word that described them, âgrâ-sâna-residânsak kornâsât kârnomârâ, roughly âgrassland-dwelling, four-legged, meat-eater/carnivoreâ, naturally gets borrowed from Kalennian to English.
There are also 2 officially recognized dialects of Kalennian, consisting of High Kalennian and Low Kalennian, and one other dialect that is not officially recognized, South Kalennian. Both are spoken around the world, but mainly in Rovârki-Trâsimku, by the languageâs diaspora. The 2 dialects developed on their own due to the increasing population of the Kalennian diaspora and the increasingly large American influence on the language during the late 1800s (as Rovârki-Trâsimku had a compact with the U.S. after both fighting the Royal Navy). Both dialects are used interchangeably depending on context, speaker formality, and personal style. All existing Kalennian dialects, Low Kalennian, High Kalennian, and South Kalennian, are grouped under the âOmbrelâ go Kâlenisomaknaâ (English: Umbrella of Kalennian), as sort of a dialect continuum, excluding Upper West Kalennian, because it directly influenced the development of the Low, High and South dialects, and it is no longer spoken by most Kalennians. All 3 dialects and their influences often overlap with each other due to the wide range of speakers in and outside of Rovârki-Trâsimku. There exists no council that regulates the language, but the National Council periodically publishes dictionaries and workbooks for the language, and is often taught in American schools by Kalennian teachers who are willing to share their cultural background with the American youth.
High Kalennian (Kalennian: Kâduhur Kâlenisomakna; lit, âProper Kalennianâ) is the formal and standardized dialect of the Kalennian language, used across media, official documents, academic writing, ceremonial occasions, speeches, written literature, and communication between strangers in professional contexts. It is spoken by the former half of the Kalennian-speaking population (roughly 9 billion people worldwide). Features of High Kalennian include the adherence to traditional morphological and grammatical rules, the proper use of marking the subject with the nominative case marker âsu-â, marking the object and direct object with the accusative prefix âva-â of certain sentences and marking possession with the genitive suffix â-iâ but not using the âvâ-â direct object marker (despite the fact that 32% of High Kalennian speakers use it, due to the widespread influence of Low Kalennianâs usage on the internet) that speakers of Low Kalennian uses, contractions and shortening of words (49% of speakers sometimes use them, again because of Low Kalennianâs influence), the usage of âsu-â and âva-â to mark capitalized proper nouns, usage of present participle endings â-sa-kâ (used for adjectival present participles specifically) and âmal-â (used for gerund present participles and marking the heads of gerund phrases) complex verb and noun conjugations/declensions, use of the 2nd person pronoun âdâbâ before imperative verbs starting with âhan-â, use of optional (verbal) grammatical person conjugation, complex tense-aspect-mood combinations, and formal vocabulary.
Low Kalennian (Kalennian: Deskontrâdi Kâlenisomakna; lit. âCasual Kalennianâ) is the informal dialect of the Kalennian language, spoken by the latter half of the Kalennian-speaking population (roughly 12 million people). It is used across media, conversational communication between friends and family members, daily conversations, internet websites, social media networks, and blogs. Features of Low Kalennian include the optional dropping of the nominative prefix âsu-â when clarifying the subject of a sentence (usually pronouns like the 1st person singular âkamâ), not using the nominative prefix âsu-â and accusative prefix âva-â to clarify the subjects and objects of capitalized proper nouns (however, there are some instances where Kalennian speakers informally choose to use the nominative ("su-") and accusative ("va-") case markers to mark capitalized proper nouns, because English doesnât use case marking for identifying the subject or object of a sentence, even if the noun in question is a "proper" noun), using âva-â to mark the object of a sentence, the usage of an invented prefix called âvâ-â which marks the direct/indirect object of a sentence (which is not used in High Kalennian, but some speakers of it use âvâ-â as stated above), marking possession with the genitive suffix â-iâ and marking objects of sentences with âva-â, the usage of contractions (e.g. âyâabinsiâ, a contraction of âyâ abinsiâ, meaning âthe foodâ), the omission of vowels at the start of words and the shortening of words (e.g. âalâstimâmâ, a noun meaning âshowerâ, becomes ââlâstimâmâ or even ââlâstimâ), adherence to the languageâs morphological and grammatical rules, the omission of vowels between consonants in some words (e.g. âsketâdhimâ, a noun meaning âanxietyâ, becomes âsketâdhimâ, âsekâranâ, a noun meaning âpresentâ, becomes âsekâranâ), usage of present participles âmal-â (used for adjectival present participles specifically) and â-sa-kâ (used for gerund present participles and marking the heads of gerund phrases), the (optional) omission of the 2nd person pronoun âdâbâ before imperative verbs starting with âhan-â (e.g. âDâb hanbamos!â (âStop!â) becomes âHanbamos!â), general use of (verbal) grammatical person conjugation, complex verb and noun conjugations/declensions, English/European-based loanwords for words that do not yet have a common translation in Kalennian, and tense-aspect-mood combinations.
There is also the Southern Kalennian dialect (Kalennian: Sautâ Kâlenisomakna), spoken around the Southern/coastal and Northern regions that is not officially recognized (spoken by 8 million people worldwide); the dialect has a mix of the features of High and Low Kalennian (e.g. grammatical person conjugation being used, but not using an explicit subject pronoun in all contexts). The only difference in its phonology is the lack of the 'r' sound /Éš/ when found before consonants or at the end of words, for example "kidorsâr" ("learner") is pronounced /kidoËĘÉË/, with the vowels' pronunciations becoming more lengthened (/ÉË/ and /oË/ specifically). A particularly unique feature of South Kalennian is its tendency to fuse and shorten affixes and base words together to form a whole word, for example, "Kam mal-bâkhe-sa-âye" ("I am playing") becomes "Kam-al-bâk-sa-ye", "ma-bâk-s-ye" or even "k'-m-bâk-s-ye"; this feature has died down over time due to the influence of other Kalennian dialects. South Kalennian also treats the pronunciation of double consonants in phonology differently; double consonants like "mm", "nn", "kk", "ss", etc., are always pronounced and with long stress, instead of being omitted in Low or High Kalennian, so the word "tikânni" ("people") is pronounced /tikÉnËi/, instead of /tikÉËi/; the same is done with the "s" and "d" sound changes, as "s" and "d" (as they appear mid-wordfinal) in South Kalennian are not pronounced /Ę/ (in Low and High Kalennian), they are instead pronounced /s/ and /j/, respectively. It also has nasal vowels; the nasality only happens when any word in Kalennian ends with a /n/ or /m/ sound, and then the nasal vowel before it spreads to other vowels in the word (e.g. âfâmilânâ is pronounced /fÉĚmÄŠlÉĚn/). The flexible verbalizer suffix, â-giâ, is also not used when using nouns as verbs (as verbs can conjugate for tense, aspect and mood). An example of this is the word âkombâtâ (meaning âfightâ, âcombatâ or âwarfareâ); when the imperative prefix âhan-â is added, there is no way to verbalize it to show it is being used as a verb because the verb mood/aspect/tense itself indicates the meaning. This also extends to the adjectivizer suffix â-yâtâ, where, instead of being omitted, it is shortened and fused with a noun or verb (e.g. âakuatâ (water) + â-yâtâ = âakuâtâ). There also exists the phonological and orthographic reduction of aforementioned tense-aspect-mood combinations (e.g. âhanintâsâhoâ, the second person singular imperative inflection for âlistenâ, is shortened to âhantâhoâ, âintâsoâ, âintoâ, âintâhoâ or âtâhoâ based on the speaker), instead of phonologically truncating them in speech and not letting orthography follow, which heavily influenced the Low Kalennian dialect.
There have also formed groups of dialects in the same country that merge both the features of Low, High, and the Southern Kalennian dialects, which are called the Upper West Kalennian dialects (Kalennian: Yaslâ Bâlte Kâlenisomakna), whose ethnic speakers were second-generation Indigenous Kalennian immigrants from Europe. Sometimes, most of the dialect varieties in this region have their fair share of English influence but the grammar was reinvented to include specific indefinite pronouns, the removal of definite articles (as definiteness is expressed via context or word order), and a fixed SOV word order, among other things. These dialect varieties have died out in recent decades due to older speakers passing away, but the dialect did not vanish entirely solely because of its experienced language attrition. Instead, its unique grammatical quirks (such as its fixed SOV word order and distinct indefinite pronouns) were primarily preserved through historical audio recordings, early diaspora literature, and language revitalization programs hosted by RT cultural institutions, where linguists continue to study its unique blend of European structures and original Kalennian grammar. Upper West Kalennian has gradually become moribund, with only a handful of elderly speakers remaining throughout its history. The Upper West dialects were the first-ever dialects to form from the Kalennian language and had multiple features that later (officially recognized) dialects would take on in later years.
Kalennian has highly influenced the social and linguistic fabric of its ethnic group. Its use in television, literature, the internet, and public administration has cemented its place in both the United States and around the world. In the country of Rovârki-Trâsimku, Kalennian is a major driving force and unifying factor for identity, encouraging communal pride and continuity throughout all generations.
The Kalennian language has a prominent position in several media, of which television is the most popular.
KTV, d.b.a Kâlenitelevis Publikâtosak (translating to âKalennian Television Broadcastingâ), is an independently-owned Kalennian free-to-air television channel, production company, art collective, and public broadcasting company. It was launched on February 14, 1978, in the city of Sitâlhe go Trânkilte, Rovârki-Trâsimku and founded by sisters Dekubinâ Kademyâ and Esâdakovâ Kademyâ (both born September 24, 1955; other people that later joined the company due to interest were Tenyemhâde Varyâta, Sukhâmulha Davisâ, Tigherâ Trâsimku, Sanâhâtye Vâkito, Lâbonva Yoskamha, Sâmvido Gârisi-Bâdekâla, Dhelevâlu Lhesekilâ, Bidonhi Murâva, Midâgo Sâkadenâ, Govâmis Sikâdavo, Gâbhudu Rovârki, Gelhon Vâsaghadi, Sobhegalhâ Bâdekâla, Kighetosyâlâ Dinughâ, and Novekâ Gânvidhe), who all formed the broadcasting company of the same name ("Kâlenitelevis"), after a couple of weeks consisting of planning, setting up equipment, and collaboration were in progress. KTV was created to provide entertainment for the increasingly growing Kalennian diaspora. Before KTVâs inception, the concept of Kalennian âtelevisionâ did not emerge during this period, as the most major media outlets that Rovârki-Trâsimku excelled in were radio stations and newspaper publishers; the Council happened to be so distracted by the political chaos that they wouldnât have the time, energy or money to have Rosâmkiye oversee it or micromanage it, as television was a pretty separate thing and often considered a harmless novelty from other media. When the Kademyâ sisters launched KTV years later, wanting to unite their community during a particularly difficult period, all they had was either recorded audioblogs where Dekubinâ and Esadâkovâ often talked about their favorite movies and television shows, their daily lives before and after setting into the television world (or making jokes about their home country), or imported content from American television channels, the latter of which was subtitled; the people working couldnât dub the content into their language themselves (to save money) or have the founders do it, so after BlueGrass started venturing into audio-based content, the Kademyâ sisters were willing to work with them to officially dub their American imported content. The only shows that KTV aired during 1979-1985 were Archie Bunkerâs Place, Married with Children, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Matlock, along with Family Feud. When Kalennian viewers sat down to catch up on KTVâs lineup at the time, they warmed up to tolerate and not think too much about Americans (despite the chaos of their home country) or their culture, so they enjoyed it as time went on; it wasnât just the fact they enjoyed it, it was essential to them trying to get through the difficult times of Rosâmkiye rule. Over time, however, Kalennian creators and artists occasionally rejected American stereotypes so they could add their own unique flair to their work to reflect Rovârki-Trâsimku and its interconnected culture through satire, comedy, music or other ventures, and forge their own unique style of television, animated or otherwise. In 1980, the broadcasting company established a programming department in the town of Eslovân, Sitâlhe go Trânkilte, Rovârki-Trâsimku, which has been responsible for planning and scheduling content, including original shows, movies, and educational programs. The department, named "Progâmani Dipârta go KTV" (translating to "Programs Section of KTV"; abbreviated to "KTVPD"), worked on curating the programming lineup to appeal to their audience and ensure a diverse range of content is available. The KTVPD was also responsible for the creation of KTV's first-ever venture into children's programming, a programming block named KTV Yalkânni (launched on November 13, 1985). KTV Yalkânni aired Kalennian-dubbed American cartoons that aired on many Saturday morning channels/programming blocks reaching high viewership at the time; this choice of programming would make KTV Yalkânni more accessible to not only Kalennian audiences, but English speakers looking to learn the language, and soon the programming block would become popular with families across Rovârki-Trâsimku and the US. KTV Yalkânni's first-ever originally-produced Kalennian-language animated children's show was "Ramirkâ yâ Aviyânkanite", on May 23, 1989. On April 3, 1983, the company established a home video division of KTV, called "KTV Votyoni" (translated as "KTV Photos"; "votyo", the Kalennian word for "photo", is used colloquially to refer to films/movies of any kind, and not just pictures) that distributed the channel's various Kalennian-dubbed programs onto VHS - the division has since then moved to distributing KTV's programming onto DVD, as they have stopped distributing VHS tapes in February 2000. On September 24, 2002, KTV announced that they (literally translated) âwould be going global, and expanding [our] public image to more Kalennians across this planet of oursâ by launching a sister channel called âKTVGâ (standing for âKâlenitelevis Globâliâ, meaning âKalennian Television Internationalâ) which is aimed at the Kalennian-speaking diaspora that stretches across some parts of the world, notably South America, Asia, and Western Europe. KTVG serves as a syndication and international rebroadcasting arm of KTV, making it the first ever bilingual TV channel for both English and Kalennian speakers around the world. It airs most of KTVâs main programming (often dubbed into Kalennian) along with a small amount of English-language content, mainly for accessibility and diaspora engagement. On May 27, 1999, KTV launched their first-ever subsidiary, called "Kâbel go KTV", which served as KTV's cable/satellite division. In early 2002, KTV broadcasted their first ever originally produced series for their main programming, titled âNaito-ishâ, which was met with both praise and harsh criticism from critics across the country. On May 31, 2002, KTV decided to expand its presence by going on the radio, and (as an attempt) launched the radio station KTV-RP (standing for âKâlenitelevis Râdyo Publikâtosakâ; meaning âKalennian Television Radio Broadcastingâ). KTV-RP was designed to complement KTV's television offerings, providing a platform for audio content that included daily news segments focusing on local, regional, and international events (presented in the Kalennian language to keep listeners informed), a variety of programs featuring music, talk shows, and interviews with notable figures in the Kalennian community, as well as curated playlists featuring both traditional Kalennian music and contemporary hits, appealing to a wide range of listeners and promoting local arthouse artists, and programs aimed at educating the audience on various topics, including language learning, history, and health, providing valuable resources to listeners. The station also encouraged listener participation through call-ins and social media. This strategy was crucial in addressing the needs of Kalennian speakers, particularly in diaspora communities. Despite its promising start, KTV-RP faced several challenges, including failing to adapt to changing media habits, as well as competition with other radio stations, which made it difficult to maintain a listener base. Budget cuts and resource allocation issues hindered programming quality and reach, as KTV frequently struggled to find new parties willing to fund the radio station. After KTV-RP received low ratings and a few negative reviews from fans, KTV announced that they would shut the radio station down after 16 years on the air. The decision was made as KTV deemed the station obsolete and unable to compete with other popular radio stations in Rovârki-Trâsimku, and it was also during this time that KTV also transitioned from analog to digital terrestrial broadcasting in October 2001. Consequently, KTV-RP was almost scrubbed from the internet by some and is rarely ever discussed in conversation as of today, marking its existence as somewhat forgettable. KTV is infamously known for its Overcast Scandal - being initially acquired by defunct public broadcaster Overcast (originally a cable-installing service in 2003) in November 2009, it was turned into one of their member stations called KCFD-TV. It sparked an outcry within the Kalennian-speaking community, as it caused the former television channelâs viewership to plummet. Once the news came out, informing people about the July 2011 hijacking incident, it further heightened the tension between Overcast and the Kalennian community. In January of 2012, celebrating New Year's Day, it got rebranded back to KTV on January 1, 2012 after the ownership was turned back to the original owners. The company, KTV, sent Overcast a sternly-worded cease-and-desist letter, threatening the public broadcaster to turn back the ownership of the channel to them in late December 2011, and Overcast ceased operations 1 day before the rebrand took place (and the controversy surrounding Overcast was over). This decision was what pushed KTV to become one of the most well-known TV channels by the Kalennian community, as many celebrated KTV's comeback; this period was when KTV planned to finally expand their line of programming, after several years of struggling to stay afloat and find an audience. Then, in 2018, KTV created yet another original show, the adult animated satirical dark comedy series Kâptikânni (English: Stickpeople), which first premiered on October 2, 2018 to critical acclaim, and is about two anthropomorphic stick figures (Rosâm (red) and Blâk (black)) as they navigate life, set in a fictionalized version of Rovârki-Trâsimku. The show, however, has been criticized by many extremist evangelical Christian groups for its provocative, bizarre, and often violent subject matter, deeming it âtoo degenerateâ for television. Despite numerous protests nationwide telling the network to cease operations, Kâptikânni still continued for multiple seasons afterward, as it received more critical acclaim. Its latest season (season 6) was announced on February 23, 2025. Kâptikânni, however, was not KTVâs first major venture into surrealist, adult animated programming. Going back to the 1980s, when KTV also made animated original programming for their childrenâs block, they also made their first live-action cosmic drama series for the network, âWhen Love Never Broke Meâ (Kalennian: Gusem Moriga Vakam Silkâbussoisâ), which starred American actress Brooke Shields as a recovering alcoholic and abuse survivor who almost gets bruised by an immortality scent that causes her to reach out into the inner void of the universe and gets into an endless conflict with all her abusers from each and every timeline. KTV later created their first adult animated comedy, called Friskâ Kat, starting in 1997, and KTV appointed a Kalennian animator and contemporary sculpture artist who was the pioneer of animated content in the country for a whole decade, Fredrikâ Jaksinkiye (born April 4, 1967), to help with the production process, since the founders werenât experienced enough in the art world to do so themselves. It is important to note that after he started working with KTV to produce Friskâ Kat, Jaksinkiye had established his animation studio SoloToons in 2003 (which was originally headquartered in Bankiyâ, Bânvorka, Rovârki-Trâsimku, but then its production moved to Miami, Florida in 2009) to try and express his creative talents worldwide, not just across his home country. Friskâ Kat follows the day-to-day violent, surreal, yet wholesome exploits of an anthropomorphic cat named Frediye and a mouse named Jeremyâ, who are both of Kalennian heritage, sharing a room together in downtown New Jersey; it was created to mock âignorantâ American culture, even before heavyweights like Family Guy and SpongeBob SquarePants hit the stage, as well as to talk about social and political issues in Rovârki-Trâsimku through a Western lens. The show was one of many to mock the Rosâmkiye tenure, which held absolute centralized power over every Kalennian (including the National Council and The Blue Circle, who contributed to the national government for several years) in the country for multiple decades, was hostile toward its essential workers running the economy, restructured the constitution under her secretly authoritarian views, and threatened the National Council, among other measures, until her impeachment starting in 2010, as mentioned prior. Friskâ Kat was later cancelled in 2014 due to budget problems regarding KTVâs broadcast technology, but was brought back in 2020 as a crossover special (with Kâptikânni) celebrating the launch of KTV 42 years ago, and then in 2022 as a reboot of the original. KTV also ventured into art (not just general television) as they are also an art collective: KTV have shown their experimental art of famous American/Kalennian celebrities, art of characters from the channel's original Kalennian programming, and their television mascot Kevinâ, numbers of times since 2005 in art exhibitions, their first ever venture being Deitch Projects; they also allow the viewers to send in fan mail and have them show it on-air during interstitials. As of today, KTV has become the most well-known television network catered to the Kalennian community, and is broadcasted all around the world (not just in the Americas) with KTVâs sister TV channel KTVG (KTV International), and still airs imported English-language programming dubbed into Kalennian (by dubbing studios BlueGrass), along with some original animated series. KTV also operates three television channels, all of which are distributed free-to-air via a nationwide ATSC network (formerly using a NTSC network at the time of KTV's launch in 1978), and are broadcasted all around the world (not just in the Americas; KTV's sister channels were not affected by the 2009 Overcast Scandal however): KTVG (launched on September 24, 2002), which serves as a syndication and international rebroadcasting arm of KTV and airs most of KTVâs main programming (dubbed into Kalennian) along with a small amount of English and Spanish-language content worldwide and outside of the US (mainly for accessibility and diaspora engagement), Dimensânni! (launched on March 21, 2016), which airs action, anime and horror movies, and TVK (launched on December 14, 2000), which broadcasts educational content, classic television series from the 1930s-1990s and KTV original series in the Kandese language. In 2022, KTV received 4 Emmy Awards for Excellence in American National Children's and Family-Oriented Television Programming, and 3 Annie Awards for Best Animated Programming in Television, Film, and Multimedia.
Overcast Broadcasting was an international public broadcaster. It originally started as a cable-installing company under the name of DNA Cable Service in 2003, but then was changed to 'Overcast' in 2009, following the discontinuation of their standalone TV channel Overcast. In November 2009, they took full ownership of independent TV channel KTV (Kâlenitelevis) under the guise of inclusion and preservation, but their true goal was to reshape Kalennian language media into something more âpure,â âstandardized,â and âculturally acceptableâ, which made them get into controversy (even after the July 2011 hijacking). So in December of 2011, the company announced it would cease operations and lay off a large chunk of its broadcasting team. Since then, KCFD-TV has been rebranded back to its original name ("KTV") since January 2012, and Overcast's other member stations are still defunct. It was later discovered that the companyâs CEOâs genuine motivation for taking ownership of KTV was brainwashing Kalennian people, considering its former lazily geometric branding. Furthermore, Overcastâs founder, Paul Moss, was involved in a hate group called âYâ Kâlenisomakna Balovâsga Grâpoâ (translating to âThe Kalennian Language Preservation Groupâ) that marketed themselves as a community of Kalennian people who preserved the use of Kalennian and attempted to spread it more widely around other continents, but in reality, they were a group of American white supremacists, prescriptivists and sex offenders who were charged with sexually harassing/assaulting multiple members (mainly women) of the Kalennian community. The group was active from 1968 until 1999, and Paul joined the group in 1987 until he left to establish Overcast on October 4, 2003. It is also very important to note that Overcastâs funding came from donations to that hate group (âThe Kalennian Language Preservation Groupâ), and the ownership of KTV itself wasnât legitimate in the eyes of many, because it was simply seen as a hostile cultural takeover disguised as "corporate development" according to Kalennian-language news outlets. Overcast has been under controversy for their July 2011 hijacking of their member station KCFD-TV mentioned above. When The Big Bang Theory was airing at 10:23 pm in the evening, it was suddenly interrupted by text on a black background (with the Overcast logo on the right, being stabbed multiple times with a knife) which included multiple offensive statements targeted at Kalennian disabled people. Because of this, the viewers blamed Overcast for the hijacking. It is unknown who was behind the hacking of KCFD-TV. According to TVNews (an English-language news aggregator/news magazine that initially specialized in bringing in updates to Overcast stations and other TV channels not related to Overcast, but has since moved to talking about the Kalennian media landscape), their article came out with Overcast's apology (from their website) 4 days later. The apology is as follows: "The staff at Overcast will not tolerate the dehumanization of Kalennian people, especially those who are learning the language, and those who are hard of hearing or blind. The technical team will promise to implement robust cybersecurity, so we can safeguard ourselves and the rest of our TV stations against such issues. We apologize if any Kalennian-speaking person who is watching KCFD-TV currently is offended and/or petrified of the current event that occurred. Again, we are extremely sorry".
Here is a look at the article that detailed the July 2011 incident: âKCFD-TV, a Kalennian-language television station, was hacked by an unknown 13-year-old during the evening broadcast of "The Big Bang Theory." The hack occurred during a scene where the show's characters were discussing a blackboard with an equation. The hackers inserted a text overlay that made fun of Kalennian speakers. The text was offensive and caused significant embarrassment for the station. The hacker managed to infiltrate the station's broadcasting system, causing a brief but highly embarrassing disruption. The incident was widely noticed by viewers, leading to public outrage and criticism of the station. Two days after the incident, Overcast issued an apology on their website in both Kalennian and English. The apology stated that the staff at Overcast would not tolerate the dehumanization of Kalennian people, especially those learning the language or with hearing impairments. The technical team promised to implement robust cybersecurity measures to prevent future incidents. The station apologized to any Kalennian-speaking person who felt offended or belittled by the incident. Overcast launched a swift investigation into the incident, cooperating with law enforcement agencies to identify and apprehend the perpetrator. The broadcaster emphasized its determination to pursue legal action to the fullest extent against the hacker, holding them accountable for their actions. KCFD-TV was gradually restoring control of its programming and took steps to rebuild public trust by providing transparent updates on the incident and reaffirming its commitment to delivering accurate and unbiased news.â Despite the apology, the hijacking event left a negative mark on Overcastâs reputation, as this was what caused the company to cease operations on December 29, 2011.
Overcast ran 5 member stations that served the Americas before they were all shut down, and those were; KSRL-TV, an English-language TV station that served the Western and Midwestern American regions of the US, and aired news (at 4:00 p.m.), soap operas (8:00 p.m.) and sitcom programs (10:00 p.m.); KCFD-TV, a Kalennian-language TV station that replaced KTV, and aired the same programming, but exclusively in Kalennian and was broadcast in the United States. The dubbing of its shows is provided by Kentucky-based dubbing studio BlueGrass. It had a children's programming block that also functioned as a separate TV channel called Yabkân TV, unlike KSRL-TV; FKEV-TV, an English-language TV station that served the Northern Territories, Western Canada and the Prairie Provinces in Canada. It aired the same programming; FNTS-TV, a French-language TV station that served the French-speaking part of Central Canada. It aired the same programming in French; and UNLM-TV, a Spanish-language TV station that served Mexico. It aired the same programming, but in Spanish.
KTV has struggled with a consistent schedule since its launch on February 14, 1978. However, in 2002, the Kademyâ sisters thought up of two new programming blocks to accompany their channel (KTV)âs main programming (even though they already have the childrenâs programming block KTV Yalkânni), and this lead to the company introducing 2 short-lived programming blocks called KTV Musik and KTV Ivmarga on May 12, 2002. KTV Musik was a programming block that aired from 10:00 am to 1:00 am on KTV that mainly aired music videos. This block had a very short lifespan, and considering that KTV, during 2005, was heavily focusing on bringing educational content to Kalennian-speaking children with their programming block KTV Yalkânni (launched on May 6, 1980), they considered KTV Musik to be a hindrance, as it interfered with their channelâs normal schedule, and most of the team on KTV were struggling to find a suitable audience for the block. KTV Ivmarga was a programming block that aired daily American news and info to Kalennian viewers (mostly adults aged 18-49) in the Kalennian language, from 1:00 am to 6:00 am on KTV. Like KTV Musik, this block was also short-lived due to low ratings and financial difficulties, and it drew criticism for allegedly spreading misinformation. After this rough attempt, both KTV Musik and KTV Ivmarga were both shut down in December 23, 2005 for good; KTV Ivmargaâs concept was later folded into the "Ivmarga" page on KTV's website, via ktv.com.rt/ivmarga, and KTV Musik was also later folded into KTVâs sister channel âDimensânni!â, which was originally a channel that aired anime shows and experimental music, but later branched out to include video game-centered content, experimental programming featuring disc jockeys, and sci-fi/action programming. After the ending of the controversial Overcast Scandal on December 29, 2011, KTV planned to "reinvent" themselves by recreating their schedule to include a children's programming block called KTV Yalkânni (which originally aired daily on the network since 1985, but was made defunct by Overcast in November of 2009, when Overcast renamed it to Yabkân TV, until January 1, 2012, when it was rightfully renamed back to KTV Yalkânni by its original owners, KTV, and KTV later expanded its programming lineup), along with the channel's main programming (Kâlenitelevis) after. The current programming block schedule goes simply like this: Yalkânni comes on at 5:00 am, and then KTV's main programming takes over at 10:00 am before ending at 12:00 am. It is important to note that after KTV broadcasts their programming, they shutdown at the 12:00 am timeframe (ending with the song âEsotko Naitoâ), and then start back up by four hours after midnight as KTV Yalkânni (the childrenâs programming block of KTV). But sometimes (predominantly on weekends), KTV does not cease broadcasting at 12:00 am and continues to broadcast until 5:00 am, when the KTV Yalkânni block starts.
Dimensânni! (English: Dimensions!; on-air as D!; formerly known as Kânal D) is a Kalennian free-to-air television channel owned and operated by broadcasting company KTV, with Dimensânni being a separate sibling channel of KTV, while KTVG (KTV's international TV channel that mirrors the original channel) is deemed as just a sister network (as it airs the same programming as KTV). The channel predominantly airs imported Western action, anime, sci-fi, fantasy, alt-comedy and horror movies and other television programs targeted towards ages 17-45. Dimensânni is also dedicated to showcasing experimental/avant-garde electronic music artists and their various major hits on the channel, along with experimental programming featuring disc jockeys and video jockeys, which are artists who work with video as a medium. This channel, along with the main channel KTV, its children's block, TVK, and KTVX (until March 2020, when it was removed from the lineup), were all made available on KTV's cable provider Kâbel go KTV. The concept of Dimensânni was conceived by one of the KTV members, Sâmvido Gârisi-Bâdekâla, in December of 2002. This was during the period where KTV was thinking of trying to reach newer audiences (specifically niche audiences) and standing out, getting tired of the basic content on their main channel. One of the other members, Dekubinâ Kademyâ (founder of KTV, along with her sister Esâdakovâ Kademyâ), initially ignored the idea, due to heavily focusing on her physical health issues, but a few years later, she and the rest of KTV decided on bringing the idea to life, and Dimensânni was quietly launched on March 21, 2016, as Kânal D. This period marked KTVâs goal to focus on providing niche audiences with fun entertainment programming, rather than just doing that with their main channel (KTV), but due to how most of the content on KTV was mostly Western and animated programming catered to a large audience of Kalennian viewers (most of them longtime fans of the channel), KTV increasingly vowed to find newer spaces, as they were afraid of "losing their touch with viewers". The channel's lineup was added to KTV's freemium streaming service KTV Max on its launch of February 14, 2020, along with the programming of KTV's main channel and its children's block KTV Yalkânni. Dimensânni, unlike KTV and its sister channel KTVG, did not have its own television mascot (not until in later years). Instead, the channel was hosted by Kalennian former commentary YouTuber and esports gamer Râketis S. Dânyakiye (known by his alias âBigAssRoketââ), who initially became the continuity announcer for the channel on July 1, 2017, when the channel was rebranded from Kânal D to Dimensânni, and the channel expanded its content to not just anime (this was also years before 2017, when KTV pushed the channel to the side to focus on their main channel). He then went on to become the official presenter for the channel in 2020. Aside from the channel's diverse programming, Dimensânni would also allow people to send in their gameplay recordings to have them broadcasted live on the channel, along with BigAssRoketâ, providing humorous and unhinged commentary. BigAssRoketâ would stop being the television presenter for Dimensânni in August of 2022, and a new television mascot was announced in 2023, called "Proyektâ" (English: Bullet), an anthropomorphic female squirrel character (whose concept originated from a KTV fan forum, and gave her a backstory that would later be implemented into her character, as Dimensânni's gaming content would be phased out in favor of more transgressive action content). She has a curvaceous build, bangs that swoop over her left eye, dark blue eyeshadow, tall feet (similar to a rabbitâs feet), a squirrel tail bigger than her body, and is mainly seen wielding handguns, which emphasizes the sex appeal and action themes of the channel. It has become a fan favorite of the widespread Kalennian furry community across Rovârki-Trâsimku, and has been dubbed a "sex symbol and a sidekick pioneer of Kalennian television culture". Proyektâ is voiced by KTV accountant Skâki Bângolât Dyânidhu.
Kâbel go KTV (translated as "KTV Cable") is KTV's multi-channel satellite platform/cable division, which in turn is a subsidiary of KTV itself. Launched on May 27, 1999, it bundles all of KTV's networks (KTV itself, Dimensânni, and TVK; does not include KTVG as it exists as an international branding for KTV) into a single package, aside from Kâbel go KTV carrying many of the US/global channels (these include the basic, premium, and expanded American channels such as A&E, Nickelodeon, HBO, ESPN, FOX, etc.). However, the aforementioned channels' original (English) SAP audio tracks/subtitle tracks are replaced with Kalennian-language SAP audio tracks and subtitles (also including sign-interpreted content during kidsâ/public-service hours), thus making it more accessible to Kalennian speakers (mainly the Deaf Kalennian community). Kâbel go KTV also includes additional TV channels related to KTV that are not available on other cable providers, such as KTV Twin, a time shift channel operated by KTV that airs KTV programs 2 hours later, and also notably includes KTV's children's block KTV Yalkânni as a singular, 24-hour channel. Kâbel go KTV's headquarters are in Bânvorka, Rovârki-Trâsimku. Kâbel go KTV later established a British division on March 14, 2004, whose name was later changed to "KTV Kable" (as seen above) and acted as a subsidiary of Kâbel go KTV. During the mid-2000s, Kâbel go KTV has been criticized for its constant failure to carry niche television channels, with its most notable example being the defunct gaming channel G4; despite KTV wanting to add it to their cable service due to word of mouth from viewers, G4 somehow never got carried, due to a carriage dispute between Kâbel go KTV and Comcast that occurred from October 12, 2004 to December 26, 2004. On March 10, 2022, Kâbel go KTV dropped many of its Russian channels (notable examples being Rovârki-Trâsimku America (available on the original American version of Kâbel go KTV), the Russian versions of Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network (both which were available through Kâbel go KTV internationally)) due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and its parent company (KTV) immediately followed suit and completely exited out of the Russian market by shutting down their Russian feed of KTVG on March 11 of that same year, and officially discontinuing the localized Russian version of Kâbel go KTV on March 13, 2022.
TVK (standing for "Televizä dem kubsun dem pä Kantes", translated as "Kandese-language television"), is an American Kandese-language free-to-air television channel owned and operated by American Kalennian-language broadcaster KTV. TVK was launched on December 14, 2000 as TVDK, by KTV co-founder Dekubinâ Kademyâ in a separate broadcasting building beside the headquarters of Kâbel go KTV. Dekubinâ Kademyâ was in the process of developing a personal constructed language, having been enlightened by Sylvester K. Bridgeman's book (the first ever book he wrote 1 year before he died in 1816) "Guide to Unfolding Your Own Way of Speech" (which detailed Bridgeman's early life and the subsequent creation of Kalennian, but to make things clear, it did not encourage readers to go out and make their own language), and spending her years studying multiple Indo-European languages. Dekubinâ kept the development of Kandese and TVDK a secrecy for only a few years, but it was later revealed (via an interview) that Dekubinâ wanted to express her feelings of pure joy after making KTV a reality for so long in a way that was simple, and TVDK served as a private âexperimentation outlet" based off that experience. TVDK, before it was renamed to TVK, originally stood for âTelevizä dem kubsun dem pä Käntesâ (literally translated as âTelevision of (the) language of Kandeseâ) in Kandese, but it was speculated that it also stood for âTelevis (go) Dekubinââ (âTelevision (of) Dekubinââ) in Kalennian.
TVDK's programming at the time was mainly imported Western content, mainly documentaries and soap operas, which was a facet of television that KTV was still exploring at the time; she (Dekubinâ Kademyâ), along with her sister, KTV co-founder Esadâkovâ Kademyâ, who was also involved in handling the programming of TVDK at the time, both worked with dubbing studio BlueGrass to dub a majority of the channel's programming into Kandese, as BlueGrass themselves have already dubbed KTVâs gradually amassing imported programming at the time, prior to first collaborating with KTV in 1989. Initially, it took weeks for BlueGrass to adapt to dubbing in the Kandese language (as it functioned completely differently from their native language, Kalennian, where Kandese is highly analytic and uses particles for grammatical purposes), but it quickly turned into a "pastime", as the Kademyâ sisters described it. But then, from word of mouth and mixed-to-generally-positive feedback, TVDKâs repertoire expanded rapidly, airing a variety of programs aimed predominantly at ages 19â45; consisting of imported classic American television programs and movies from the 1930s to the 1990s, to educational childrenâs programming and musical performances, and even airing KTV original programs. TVDK, aside from its programming, also included a special series of shorts (which acted as segments between programs) that featured Dekubinâ and Esadâkovâ Kademyââs diary entries, which were all written entirely in Kandese; some shorts included an additional Kalennian translation of the entry.
KTV then announced that TVDK would rebrand as TVK on September 13, 2008. During the 2010s, TVK was deemed highly successful and was praised by viewers who were saddened by Overcastâs acquisition of KTV (which was renamed to KCFD-TV in November of 2009 and removed all original KTV content), because TVK provided a range of content that some people did not have access to at the time. TVK was also best known (during this period) for letting viewers submit their own diary entries (in English, Kalennian or Kandese) via the channelâs website, âtvk.com.rtâ, and then the interstitial coming up would translate the entry into Kandese, but sometimes it would provide a Kalennian or English translation of the submitted entry. This feature is still available on the website as of late. TVKâs first-ever breakout original TV show, âPypsi Jentäciâ, premiered on May 23, 2022. It is a surrealist dramedy series that follows the wholesome but fragmented relationship of the titular character and a black-furred wolf named Bencäny. It received critical acclaim from critics, but also received widespread polarizing reviews from audiences.
BlueGrass Inc., d.b.a BlueGrass, is a dubbing studio located in Louisville, Kentucky that produces Kalennian-language TV, radio, and movie dubs, predominantly for KTV (mainly for the channel's main programming, but also for its programming blocks like KTV Yalkânni), formerly KCFD-TV. It was formed in 1972 by CEO Denny Kandace. BlueGrass have worked with KTV since 1989, as they have helped immensely with creating Kalennian-language dubs for many of KTV's imported Western programming. BlueGrass has also expanded their dubbing processes to include the Kandese language (for KTVâs sister network TVK), and expanded their portfolio to include subbing of imported content broadcasted internationally via KTVâs international channel KTVG. Before providing dubbed imported content for KTV at its inception, it initially started as a radio network providing political coverage of the countryâs feud between suburban and maritime communities at the time. It wasn't until KTV started looking for companies to dub their imported content that BlueGrass would finally get to provide dubbing services for the network.
Naito-ish is a Kalennian surrealist satire dark comedy television commentary series created by comedian and screenwriter Argâtim Armstâr for KTV. The show mocks the medium of television itself, as it frequently relies on dark comedy, gross out humor, shock humor and satire of pop culture, graphic design, and deep-cut political satire to an extreme degree. Naito-ish premiered on February 15, 2001, and ran for two seasons before its production was halted in November of 2009, when now-defunct broadcaster Overcast acquired KTV and renamed it to KCFD-TV, therefore Naito-ish (along with other original KTV programming) was completely removed from the channelâs lineup. After Overcast ceased operations in December 2011, KTV renewed Naito-ish for a third season on January 12, 2012, and it ran for five more seasons the next day on January 13, 2012, Naito-ish was suddenly cancelled on February 12, 2018, due to KTV facing harsh criticism from multiple (bigoted) hate groups on Facebook outside of the US, protesting that they stop airing Naito-ish due to the showâs chaotic nature (and some have even wrongfully accused it of spreading far-right propaganda). Despite the show not airing on the network anymore, the show is still available to stream on KTVâs freemium streaming service KTV Max, and reruns of Naito-ish episodes have been moved to KTVâs sister channel Dimensânni, as well as KTVâs international syndication brand KTVG. In the late 1990s to early 2000s, Argâtim Armstâr, known for his unique blend of dry delivery and bizarre one-liners as a stand-up comic and late-night writer, sought to pitch his innovative concept to KTV. Armed with a VHS tape labeled "TV iz Brokân," which featured a satirical 10-minute news broadcast filled with jabs at the Rovârki-Trâsimku governor at the time, nonsensical graphs, and his bombastic rants directed at a box of cereal, he entered KTV's modest office headquartered in Sitâlhe go Trânkilte, Rovârki-Trâsimku. The networkâs founders and executives, desperate for original content, found the unhinged yet low-budget chaos appealing, as it required minimal production resources. During early development in 2000, the production team embraced an "ugly TV" aesthetic characterized by clashing fonts and overexposed greenscreens, aligning with Argâtim's vision of satire through visual overload. The show's field correspondent, Grev (now Brentâ), emerged unexpectedly as a simple animated butterfly (as his animation was provided by the animation studio SoloToons, who would later go on to work with KTV again on shows like Ramirkâ yâ Aviyânkanite and Kâptikânni), created when the team could not afford an additional actor. The pilot received polarized reactions from a test audience, a response that KTV welcomed. Operating with a small writing team, Argâtim along with two writers, Mâthegos Dvedâken (a screenwriter and director who would later become a voice actor for Kâptikânni in 2018) and Polâdhi Kavâlhasakye, produced scripts weekly, often incorporating improvised lines directly in the studio. Cost-cutting measures included utilizing free public domain footage, filming parody commercials in employees' apartments, and creating the showâs graphics using MS Paint, Blender and PowerPoint. Each episode was edited within a week, contributing to its raw and chaotic charm. KTV positioned Naito-ish as their inaugural original risk, promoting it with English-language posters all over KTVâs headquarters Rovârki-Trâsimku, titled âWeâre not normal TV. Neither is this," and securing late-night slots to capitalize on word-of-mouth rather than traditional marketing strategies. Naito-ish is a fast-paced, satirical news-magazine spoof that runs for 22 to 24 minutes. The show features a mix of absurd humor and surreal cutaways, creating a unique viewing experience. The show is predominantly hosted by the showâs creator, Argâtim Armstâr, who plays a fictionalized, exaggerated version of himself and adopts a deadpan demeanor as he presents ludicrous, often violent or self deprecatory stories with a nonchalant tone. Accompanying him is Brentâ, an animated anthropomorphic butterfly who is a field correspondent and consistently investigates irrelevant topics, adding to the show's comedic absurdity. The show is structured around core segments that appear weekly, such as the most notable segment titled "Mârdayâtvai Atrângisâr go Yâ Semânâ (translated as âShittiest Governor of the Weekâ), where Argâtim brutally critiques former Rovârki-Trâsimku governors under ideologically critical dark comedy and satire, and "Ad Break⌠From Hell," which features parody commercials that start normally before descending into chaos. Other segments include "Numbers That Lie," showcasing meaningless graphs, and âStrâkni go Dâbi Kâtanniâ (âStories of Your Livesâ), which is an irreverent and brutally dismissive spoof of biographical interviews with either fictionalized celebrities or current/generally obscure celebrity personalitiesâ âdemiseâ (along with interviews that are humorously deadpanned and voiced over by Argâtim). Brentââs comedic field reports, titled "Correspondent Calamity," often cover mundane topics as if they were major news events. Each episode is crafted with a quick-cut pacing and a blend of graphics that intentionally overload the viewer, including clashing fonts and excessive motion blur. The music transitions from sterile news beds to glitchy breakcore for brief moments, enhancing the surreal atmosphere.
Kâptikânni (IPA: /kÉptikÉËi/; Kalennian for "Stickpeople") is an American-Kalennian slice-of-life adult animated slapstick dark comedy television series created by cartoonist Danyelâ Sprâgobhe for the independently-owned TV channel, broadcasting company and television production company Kâlenitelevis (commonly known as "KTV"). Running from 2018 to 2025 across 6 seasons and 179 episodes, Kâptikânni follows the daily, unhinged lives of two anthropomorphic stick figures, a red one named "Rosâm" (the Kalennian word for "red") and a black one named "Blâk" (the Kalennian word for "black"), as they try to navigate their post-dropout lives through the trials and tribulations of (a fictionalized version) of Rovârki-Trâsimku. The show tackles heavy topics such as war, racism, politics, societal expectations, and sex, all through the absurd lens of anthropomorphic stick figures who bring an exaggerated view of the human experience. There's also a strong satire of Kalennian and American life, with culture clashes and stereotypes subtly (or not so subtly) mocked throughout the episodes, which made it extremely popular within the Kalennian internet subculture. Its theme song was composed and performed by the show's composer, Gilâmedhi Davisâ, who also voices Rosâm. However, the show has been criticized by various news outlets outside of the United States and other countries due to the show's provocative nature. The show's first episode, "Yâ Demonyâ", premiered on October 2, 2018 to mixed reviews, and later critical acclaim from Kalennian viewers, and the show became KTV's flagship series as a result. The animation was handled by independent animation studio SoloToons, the same studio that did the animation for the children's TV series "Yâ Yabrânkaniteni" that aired on KTV's children's block "KTV Yalkânni" (formerly "Yabkân TV"). SoloToons have worked with KTV on their shows several times prior. The English dub for the show was released on KTVGâs official YouTube channel on July 23, 2022, and later premiered on August 2 of that same year. Every episode title starts with the Kalennian definite article âyââ, and then a word relating to the content of the episode. Danyelâ Sprâgobhe, after the success of her comic series Kâptikânni, she began writing for a television series adaptation of the comics on September 23, 2016 and pitched it to KTV during a special trip from Amildâgkeseyo (a city in Rovârki-Trâsimku, Danyelââs hometown) to their headquarters in Linâm go Grâmina. The company rightfully agreed to the idea, and in October 2018, its pilot episode (mentioned above) premiered on the channel. The company rightfully agreed to the idea, and in October 2018, its pilot episode (mentioned above) premiered on the channel. Rosâm and Blâk have been friends since childhood and became high school dropouts later in life. But when they were just preteens, their poverty-stricken family moved them to a suburban neighborhood town in Rovârki-Trâsimku, which was at the center of a heated local controversy. This left the two on their own, and now, they are much older, living together in an apartment complex just down the street from where they grew up. Rosâm and Blâk now find themselves in mundane situations as they navigate the burden of adulthood. Whether they're navigating relationships, job hunting, or dealing with quirky neighbors, they attempt to fit into a community with its own issues.
KTV balances their community-focused roots with pushing boundaries in the entertainment business by giving what their viewers want, as they always have, but if theyâre too stubborn, they go the other way, and have a show that blows all of the expectations out of the water. Rovârki-Trâsimku implemented loose restrictions and censorship laws that only apply to businesses or individuals in 2000, thus kickstarting new production companies willing to shock their audience without legal repercussions, so its free speech laws protect shows like Kâptikânni.
The first-ever Kalennian production company, Gâdhitiâtha Vinâr, was founded in 2001 in the city of Hârduk, Rovârki-Trâsimku. Gâdhitiâtha Vinâr is a small Kalennian film production team consisting of directors and comedians Chidiebele Scovia, Shelley Kamryn, and Timothy Averie (who is also a news writer for TVNews). Gâdhitiâtha Vinâr is best known for producing live-action movies and television series that blend horror, drama and comedy, and explore complex themes and coat ideologically critical social and political commentary under their brand of surreal, often rapid-fire, dark comedy. Most of their films have been broadcasted on KTV. Gâdhitiâtha Vinâr's logo was designed by Tim Averie himself, as he is the creative director + graphic designer for the company, and the audio for it was composed by Hikmat Hartley. Outside of filmmaking, the company held an art exhibition titled "YĂ VINĂR GO ĂGONE" (roughly translating to "THE STAIRCASE OF PAIN") with former collaborator Findas Ekene (as Gâdhitiâtha Vinâr worked with Ekene in the early-to-mid 2010s as a cinematographer for their shows and movies), which showcased the group's latest video artwork and initially discarded skits, and also enacted interactive performance art with their fans in 2014, which was hosted at the St. Louis Art Museum. In 2019, Gâdhitiâtha Vinâr cut ties with Findas Ekene due to him being exposed as a child predator, and now they currently work with Hikmat Hartley as their main cinematographer. Their company name translates to âTreadable Staircaseâ.
Founded in 1992, the Kalennian Deaf Association (Kalennian: Ulonyoga go Belâris-ahuldâsok Kâlenitikânni; lit. "Union of Hearing-impaired Kalennian People") promotes the rights of deaf and hearing-impaired people residing in rural and urban areas. The headquarters of the organization is located in Bânvorka, Rovârki-Trâsimku. The Deaf Kalennian community, like the entire Kalennian population, has widely accepted and embraced its linguistic and cultural roots.
The Kalennian flag (Kalennian: Kâlenivuiksi) has been used since the early 17th century to represent the Kalennian language, and by extension, Kalennian culture. It is what Kalennians have been using during many parades, concerts, live events, and decor. The Kalennian flag has been known for unifying the entire Kalennian diaspora, and its culture. The flag itself is a diagonal black band with a white stripe in the middle against a blue background. The use of black represents the Kalennian people's strength, determination and racial diversity, the blue symbolizes the Atlantic Ocean that kept the people at bay for hundreds of years, and white symbolizes the purity of the Kalennian culture. The flag features a light blue field with a black horizontal band across the center. The black band is mediated by a white stripe in the middle. On the other hand, the national flag for Rovârki-Trâsimku consists of a blue field with a bright, gradient white sun at the top left, and a white background with a gradient blue four-pointed star at the bottom right, both mediated/separated by a wavy red stripe, a thick black stripe, and a purple stripe. Its free-moving edge (the fly end) also ends with a cut, wavy pattern. It has been used by the country and community since its independence from Britain, in the early 1800s, and later more widely in the 1940s. The Rovârki-Trâsimku flag has been the subject of numerous talking points in Kalennian politics (and sometimes vexillology) because its flag used iridescent sea mineral dyes extracted from ocean mining to create the distinct gradients (the shining gradients on the bright, white sun and the blueish glow on the blue star), and that gradients on flags shouldnât at all be the norm, but its nationwide use proved to be exceptionally costly (considering the dyes were also additionally used in fashion jewelry), as its budget that wouldâve been used to power the emergence of more educational programs at the time went to the national flag. It got so bad that the government was later pressured to recreate a flat, readable version of the flag that doesnât retain the gradients, and both flags were to be used in different ways: R.T.âs main (ceremonial) flag is used for parades, art exhibitions, ceremonial functions, and as a general display of high quality sovereignty, while its flat flag is used for display across all cities to show unity and the respect the government has shown for the people for so long. Both of these aspects would be withdrawn as, after Rosâmkiyeâs impeachment and the restructuring of the government, both versions would be recognized as co-official flags to be used (albeit interchangeably), as the government legally defined the flag by its colors and shapes and not the gradient shading itself.
Rovârki-Trâsimkuâs nationwide highway is a major network and source of trade between cities, towns, and industrial settlements in the country of Rovârki-Trâsimku. It was established by local industrialization engineers and was carefully planned with the approval of the regional and metropolitan local governments, as well as the National Council and the Blue Circle.
The national roads (marked red on the map above) cross municipal boundaries and connect distant parts of the nation, while secondary roads that branch off of the main roads and connect to each town and distribute traffic flow through suburban/urban and rural areas are handled by the joint administrative practices of both the regional and metropolitan municipalities (local governments). Secondary roads are municipally administered roads that distribute traffic between settlements, industrial and agricultural areas, and nearby portions of the national highway. It consists of 2 classes of roadways, one designed for long distance transit between cities and towns (trunk lines), and one that feeds traffic onto the nearest trunk line (feeder lines). Trunk 1 is the direct line connecting Sitrobân with Eslovân, trunk 2 is the dual arcs sweeping up north from Sitrobân to the capital (Sitâlhe go Trânkilte), trunk 3 is the sweeping arc from Sitrobân + Eslovân that descends south into Bânvorka and Sâveta, and trunk 4 is the unbroken arterial line across Amildâgkeseyo, Hârduk and Hopeyâdritâ. Secondary roads do not cover the end parts of R.T., instead there are road termini that can end at coastal streets (Pensâkol), port infrastructure (Kondusâbha), and other areas, but in a general case, secondary-road termini are explicitly marked mainly where a secondary route reaches a cliff or other hard geographic endpoints. When it reaches Militâr Akuâtdâsorya and Dorâdayât Bovinâ, the split across this eastern region is stopped by endpoint caps (one on the north, Militâr, and one on the south, Dorâdayât), because the endpoints in Militâr are separated from the settlementâs harbor of vessels, while Dorâdayâtâs coastal cliff management and fishing vessels are also separated from the endpoints - both are part of the same infrastructure.
Some clarifications:
However, a secondaryâs endpoints do not have to adhere to geographical extremities of a municipality; for example, on the map, the secondary road's first termini stop at the upper northwestern part of Bânvorka, but not the downward southwestern tail end of Sitrobân (meanwhile, its second termini stop at the northwestern end of Skipâ, Sitrobân). As for R.T.âs railway station: it is a completely separate infrastructure from the highway. Just like the highway, the railways are able to cross over to rural and suburban areas across the country. The feeder railway system branches off the mainline railway (which acts as a high-capacity metropolitan spine) to connect rural towns, organizing the country into four distinct transit hub sectors spanning from the north to the east. However, there exist no transit sectors for the eastward passage that the feeder and mainline railway tread through (specifically the feeder line goes into the northwest corner of Hopeyâdritâ and the mainline moves all the way to the eastern coastline corner of Mobukâd), so a heavy-duty freight railhead (that currently sits across the west and south of the country and overlaps with the transit hub areas) had to be built to accommodate passengers trading in cargo and goods, as well as bridge the national industrial gap between Grâpo go Tâsalhokiyeni, Kondusâbha, Sâveta, Mobukâd, and Hârduk, and shares its rails with passenger trains using time slotting. The railhead was also mostly useful for materials (like sea minerals and mineral salts) transported from Hârduk and Mobukâd to other places. Bankiyâ does not have a feeder route connecting it, nor does it have a mainline rail for Bânvorka, as Bânvorka makes a gap between itself and the southwest corner of Eslovân. Instead, since Bankiyâ is a resource-dependent area of the country providing its natural gas reserves and water supplies for the vast rural communities across R.T., residents or workers use the national trunk (dropping down on Bânvorka) to haul extracted utilities directly into regional distribution networks.
There was also a moral dilemma occurring in Kalennian psychological circles in the early 2000s that led people to believe dead people who do something that goes against their highly sensitive ethical beliefs should be primarily reviled or demonized; some made the distinction that people shouldnât retroactively define a dead person by something that contradicts the principles they sincerely stand by, since they argued ethical principles a person holds dear to them until they die are intrinsically important to them, but others went straight to denying the truth of that statement (and others similar to that argument) and repeatedly emphasized through wording that dead people are still terrible because they did something bad, leading to the dilemma spiraling into âhow much weight should someoneâs stated philosophy receive when evaluating their actionsâ. Eventually, the dilemma was later resolved when Kalennians learned that they should permanently hold their ethical values to their heart, but at the same time, have enough heart to respect the dead; basically saying that evaluating the dead requires nuance, humility, and dignity rather than transactional judgment. The general concept of demonizing dead people because of their controversial ethical values while continually elevating oneâs own moral authority, driven by an ego that reduces said person to those controversies, is called âsindrâna go praidigaâ (English: âegotism complexâ; lit. âsyndrome/complex of arroganceâ).
Rovârki-Trâsimkuâs most prominent (and only) national holiday is on March 7 (Kalennian: Tundâyât go Martâ; lit. âSeventh of Marchâ), where members of the Blue Circle and casual communities gather and set up parades to celebrate their independence and establishment as a free, peaceful democracy for so long, as well as celebrating the magnitude of their mother tongue, because even though it was constructed, it grew to be so much more than that because of Rovârki-Trâsimku emerging to begin with. However, they also donât pay tribute to the person that created the language. Tourist practices in Tundâyât go Martâ include (but not limited to): going to the local arts festivals in the city of Bankiyâ, Bânvorka to see the experimental, authentic, and tantalizing installation work done by talented Kalennian artists who worked for national television, music, film, animation, and theatre, checking out the expansive zoological institutions in Linâm go Grâmina (in Sitâlhe go Trânkilte), and Dorâdayât Bovinâ (in Amildâgkeseyo), where they house (and secretly document) a wide range of Rovârki-Trâsimku's fauna, which include sokamârni, heraldic lions, raccoons, cows and sheep, rabbits, and chickens (as well as a wide array of coastal and deep-water fish spread across the country). But instead of prioritizing entertainment over their mental wellbeing, they frequently supply them with appropriate diets, engineering complex, naturalistic habitats that mimic real-world living conditions, providing heavily proactive veterinary care, monitoring them to make sure they are safe interacting with human visitors, using cognitive and sensory enrichment strategies to keep them from being stressed or bored, and sometimes shower them with religious worship by placing flower crowns on their heads and brushing their manes, and participating in essential veterinary and behavioral care for domestic and feral sokamârni. Tundâyât go Martâ usually lasts 2 weeks, with those weeks essentially being the broader celebration period, during which schools are closed and festivals continue.
Rovârki-Trâsimku lies within the transition between the warm-temperate and subtropical regions of the western North Atlantic. Its climate is predominantly humid and maritime (shaped by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream), characterized by warm to hot summers, generally mild winters, and precipitation throughout the year. Temperatures become warmer toward the south, while the northern and mountainous eastern regions experience cooler winters and greater seasonal variation (the cooler winters are especially highly concentrated in Amildâgkeseyo, Hârduk, and Hopeyâdritâ, the three major eastern cities). The surrounding Atlantic strongly moderates coastal temperatures and contributes to frequent winds, fog, and heavy rainfall. Rovârki-Trâsimku is periodically affected by Atlantic hurricanes, particularly during the JuneâNovember hurricane season. Direct impacts vary considerably every few years, with some seasons producing little more than distant storm effects and others bringing hurricanes close to or directly across the country.

Here is the programming for each block (including KTV itself).
Keep in mind that most of the programming is imported (and dubbed or subbed exclusively in Kalennian), but some of them are original Kalennian-language productions. This is because KTV had secured legal licensing (through a formal contract) since its launch.

Segments
KTV's programming also has 1 segment that ties the main programming into the schedule. This segment was also implemented into the 2012 schedule KTV used after the Overcast Scandal.
Naito go Filmâni
Translated to "Movie Night", this segment takes over KTV's regular programming every Friday at 10:00 pm. The segment airs mainly American and foreign movies that are either subbed or dubbed exclusively in Kalennian, by the dubbing studio BlueGrass. However, the airing of the segment was brought to a halt in late 2022 after KTV aired the controversial David Lynch movie Blue Velvet on "Naito go Filmâni" (specifically on September 19, 2022 at 10:30 p.m; this was for the channel's temporary "Lynch Supremacy" marathon), as the company received a number of angry/harassing letters from their viewers. Later in January 2023, KTV brought back the segment, and its runtime would later be extended to Fridays and Saturdays in 2024.
Defunct KTV segments
KTV Ănime
This segment, launched in February of 2019, took over KTV's regular programming every Saturday night at 7:52 pm. The segment predominantly aired famous Japanese-language anime television shows and movies subbed exclusively in Kalennian (including "Dragon Ball Z", "Fairy Tail", "My Hero Academia", etc.), by BlueGrass. On September 24, 2019, KTV announced that KTV Ănime would go defunct in favor of a new channel being launched (which is under KTVâs supervision) called Animax, which airs Japanese-language anime television shows and movies subtitled exclusively in Kalennian. However, KTV later announced that Animax would be shutting down in April 2020, due to the fact they already have a channel called Dimensânni!, which predominantly airs anime shows, action, sci-fi, and horror movies (apparently, during this period, the company was still focusing on expanding their main channel's programming, and forgot about Dimensânni!. It is also important to note that the company's sister channels, Dimensânni! and KTVG, were barely affected by the Overcast Scandal); "Dragon Ball Z", "Fairy Tail", and "My Hero Academia" were later added to Dimensânni's lineup after the fact.
Horâ go Kidorsak
Translated to "Learning Hour", this segment dove into more complex and intellectually stimulating content, featuring documentaries and Kalennian-language learning content. This segment started at 10:00 am and ended at 12:54 pm to start KTV's main programming every Monday and Tuesday.
Its concept was also used for KTV's international sister channel KTVX, which was launched on January 10, 2019 in Scandinavia, and later November 25, 2021 in Asia, Africa, and South America; KTVG's Scandinavia feed would soon shut down to make way for the channel the next day, on December 24, 2018 (on the cable provider Allente, as they terminated their contract with KTV on December 21, 2018, however KTVG still continues to be available on other Scandinavian cable providers as of late). This move would be seen as controversial to some people, considering that they wanted more accessibility to KTV's original content. KTVX's programming predominantly features documentaries, nonfiction movies, and true crime content exclusively in the Kalennian language, and its programming lineup was later added to KTV's freemium streaming service, KTV Max, on its launch of February 14, 2020, along with the content of KTV's main channel itself, KTV Yalkânni, and Dimensânni!.
However, this segment would later be discontinued due to it taking up too much space for the KTV schedule, and KTVX would be shut down on March 1, 2020 (same as the KTV Ănime segment) due to it not getting the traction KTV wanted, as well as being redundant for KTV's current roster of networks.

Segments
Just like KTV's main programming, KTV has also implemented a segment into KTV Yalkânni's schedule after the 2001 rebrand.
Poldeyo Sâtunemusni
Translating to "Crazy Saturdays", this segment covers up KTV Yalkânni's main programming, and airs reruns of old Kalennian preschool animated series that have aired on the block from 1990-1998 prior (which include "Y'ikertâsak Krokâdalâni", "Yastolhâga âd Ăkomodâkga", and "Hânhatsak vâs Ramirkâ") and American animated series (the only ones being "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies"), the latter dubbed into Kalennian. The segment airs every Saturday morning at 5:00 am, and ends at 7:04 pm.
KTV's first-ever mobile application, named KTV Aplâkis (English: KTV Application), was launched on February 14, 2015. The app primarily serves as a news outlet for Kalennian viewers of the channel. It allows users to watch real-time live broadcasts of KTV and its two sister channels (note that Dimensânni is not included, as that is included in KTV's freemium streaming service KTV Max) and provides access to various KTV programs for free.
KTV Aplâkis also features an interactive programming guide and schedule that displays current shows and whatâs coming up next. Additionally, it is well-known for its âKelâs Kevinââ (English: Call Kevinâ) feature, which enables users to call the KTV channel mascot, Kevinâ (as mentioned above). This feature sometimes allows users to prank call him, and get him extremely angry; this feature of the app has also become the butt of jokes in Kalennian internet culture.
KTV Aplâkis is available on the App Store and Google Play.
(A section that will briefly go into KTVâs main two television mascots, which I both designed myself in early 2024 and recently have redesigned in 2026)
During the full run of KTVâs broadcasting on live television, KTV's main programming has never had a mascot present in its branding. Not until November 2009, when it was taken over by public broadcaster Overcast, and the new mascot for the channel was a blue ball named âĂsurleâ that debuted in 2010. This also did not sit right with Kalennian people watching the channel, who were already angry at the branding KCFD-TV employed. Because of this, it was universally panned by the viewers, and hate forums and sites that formed around the Kalennian internet scene, in response to the Overcast rebrand, overreacted in the most terminally online way imaginable (petitions, hate letters, etc.), as fandom culture in the early 2000s skyrocketed when the internet became more active and accessible to non-English speakers at the time.
On January 1, 2015, celebrating 4 years since the end of the Overcast controversy (and New Yearâs Day), KTV announced that they introduced a new mascot to the channel, named âKevinââ. Kevinâ (last name âGânvidheâ) is a 17-year-old robot with a blue CRT monitor for a head that wears a light blue suit with a blue tie (sometimes wears a teal jacket over it), has a blue "plug tail" on his rear end, dark blue pants, and two TV antennae on the top of his head, which can bend depending on his emotional state. Kevinâ is the official presenter for KTV's main programming, as he appears during bumpers, and makes occasional appearances, mainly announcing upcoming shows and movies that will air on the channel (Kalennian voice actor & rapper Mâthegos Dvedâken serves as the continuity announcer of KTV's main programming, however). A small minority of viewers had a mixed opinion on the addition of Kevinâ, simply because of KCFD-TV (KTVâs former name, when it was acquired by international public broadcaster Overcast) originally having a mascot called âĂsurleâ (the Kalennian word for âblueâ) that was exclusively panned by the viewers. When Kevinâ debuted on the channel (after the ending of the Overcast Scandal), however, it received critical acclaim from fans. Despite some of the negative feedback, Kevinâ has become an influential figure to Kalennian people watching the channel, and the mascot has been frequently included in the channelâs merch (via ktv.com.rt/kemisâni), and has also been used in promotional material for the channel. Kevinâ also appears on KTVâs sister channel KTVG. Kevinââs character design was conceived by Novekâ Gânvidhe, who handles the conceptual visual aspects of KTVâs branding along with Dekubinâ Kademyâ, and his animated form was provided by Kighetosyâlâ Dinughâ (who handles the visual art aspects of the branding and serves as the main animator and storyboarder for KTV's television bumpers). Kevinâ is voiced by Singaporean-Kalennian non-binary singer and songwriter Vâduki Nanyâkol.
KTV later introduced a mascot for their childrenâs programming block KTV Yalkânni the same day on January 2, 2015, named âLobâmnaâ (named after one of the founders of Rovârki-Trâsimku), who is a 6-year-old yellow female robot with the same design as Kevinâ, but with different clothing (wearing an orange dress with straps over a yellow shirt). Lobâmna is voiced by Kalennian-American child actress Koberhu Mâlibha. It was confirmed by Esâdakovâ (who conceptualized the character design for Lobâmna) in a Q & A session that was hosted by KTV (along with their fans) on February 14, 2019 that Lobâmna is biologically related to Kevinâ, as they are both siblings.
Summarized bio:
Kevinâ and Lobâmna Kademyâ are an animated fictional character duo created by Novekâ Gânvidhe (born on March 12, 1980) and Esadâkovâ Kademyâ (born September 24, 1955), the latter being one half of the founders of the free-to-air Kalennian-language television channel KTV (standing for âKâlenitelevisâ, âKalennian Televisionâ). They serve as the official mascots for the KTV network (plus its promotional material). Lobâmna is 6 and Kevinâ is 17, and are both siblings.
Their last names stem from the surnames of the KTV founders, Dekubinâ Kademyâ and Esadâkovâ Kademyâ.

Trivia:
âEsotko Naitoâ (English: âGood Nightâ) is a short song written and performed by Dekubinâ Kademyâ and Sâmvido Gârisi-Bâdekâla for the channel KTV. It is also called the âShutdown Songâ in English, as the song is typically played before the continuity announcer announces closing (for context, KTV shuts down at 12:00 am at midnight, and continues normal broadcasting with the children's block KTV Yalkânni). As it is evident from the title, the song is sung entirely in Kalennian.
âEsotko Naitoâ was conceptualized by Dekubinâ Kademyâ in August of 2019, with the goal of enhancing the KTV âexperienceâ from viewers across the country. Dekubinâ's sister, Esadâkovâ Kademyâ, who was heavily experienced with music, worked with former bassist and vocalist Sâmvido Gârisi-Bâdekâla to compose the songâs instrumental so that it would be made appropriate for television broadcasts. The vocals were then provided by both Dekubinâ and Sâmvido.

Trivia:
Aside from her spearheading KTV with Dekubinâ, Esadâkovâ has worked with several keyboardists/bassists across the country for a 13-track experimental rock instrumental album titled "Medâlion" (Kalennian for "shield" or "protection") in 1970 that served as a "concept album" that detailed the five stages of grief
The lyrics of âEsotko Naitoâ have also been repurposed for other contexts other than TV-related media, as the song is also sung by Kalennian speakers when saying goodbye to a loved one/relative, or paying someone (usually a deceased family member) respects during a funeral ceremony.
(Similar to KTV, here is another sub-category that goes into the 2 mascots of my respective conlangs.)
Kendrikâ (full name Kendrikâ yâ Velno; IPA: /kÉndÍĄÉŽÉšikÉ jÉ vÉlno/, Kalennian for âKendrick the Catâ) is an original character created by me, Cammzy Armster. Kendrikâ serves as the âmascotâ of my constructed language Kalennian. Kendrikââs pronouns are they/he (Kalennian: ber/meg). His nickname is âKenâ.
Appearance: Kendrikâ is an anthropomorphic cat with dark blue fur and puffy hair, blue ears, nose and a tail. He typically wears a blue T-shirt with black and white horizontal stripes across the middle (resembling the Kalennian flag), and navy-blue shorts, sometimes wearing navy blue jeans along with a bag containing various individual bricks (representing the 47 affixes that Kalennian uses) on the right side of his belt that he uses for lexical flexibility in forming his sentences.
Personality: chill, energetic, bold, brave, smart, confident, bold, enthusiastic, boisterous, arrogant
As Kendrikâ is loosely based on Kalennian, many of the trivia facts here make a few references to its linguistic/morphological  features, specifically its grammar and vocabulary.
Trivia:
Additional note
Initially, when Kendrikâ was first drawn in 2024, he had the name âKenâdiâ, but then it was changed to âKendrikââ in 2025, due to how often it was confused with âKevinââ, the name of the official KTV mascot.
Karlä (full name Karlä ho Dakukynje Kizämy; Kandese for âCarla the Weaselâ) is an original character created by Cammzy Armster who serves as the âmascotâ of his second constructed language Kandese.
Appearance: Karlä is a brown-furred weasel with a furry, slender tail and a brown nose. She typically wears a t-shirt with red and white horizontal stripes across the bottom middle (representing the Kandese flag), and turquoise jeans. She has bangs that cover her eyes.
Personality: sensible, rational, intelligent, thoughtful, sassy, pugnacious

Character List
This section summarizes every single character listed in the Camniverse.
MAIN!!!
STANDALONE!!!
Definition of the âtimelineâ the Camniverse takes place in
The Camniverse is⌠actually set in a floating timeline where some people age a few years older or have no ambiguous ages or age like animals (e.g. Japoney; he was born on March 11, 1998, but heâs 30 years old in the present day universe; or like GroĂ; his age is ambiguous because it's completely irrelevant to his actual personality), and other temporal anomalies, just because. if we were to completely ignore that the Camniverse is just set in a current day version of 2024 (which was when i first created Tangy and Mike). but, again, it's just a floating timeline underneath all that fluff, so i'm not gonna bother with the implications of that either way⌠it's crazy because underneath all that nonchalance i just wanted to make a simultaneously down-to-earth and chaotic surrealistic dramedy that felt so uniquely me, and destroyed any chance of me scrapping this! ever since i even touched a piece of paper at 7
The actual âplotâ...
Initially, when I fully came back to digital art in 2024, I was gonna make the first character I drew in September the protagonist of the messy story surrounding the universe, but when I later made the reference sheet for my self-titled author avatar, I thought of making him the main person in the spotlightâthe story isnât about the characters or my language, itâs about Cammzy himself and his trials and tribulations of being an artist, trying to push the envelope, and seeing the entire world in the best version of himself. Cammzy and all of his friends live in a four story apartment building located in Albany, Georgia, which is often subject to damage and occasional chaos.
