'''Lontinien''' (Lontinian: ''Londinya''; Hurmu Norse: ''Lontinen'') is the part of [[Hurmu]] on the Apollonian continent, on the mouth of the River Glacei. It is populated by [[Lontinians]] ([[Jawnetka]]), a people related to the Yak Horde but with a peaceful nomadic lifestyle. This lifestyle brought the affinity of the Hurmudans and they became friends, allies and brothers ever since.

Lontinien was in its early days confused with Tartary, and the two names became synonymous with one another.


'''Lontinien''' ([[wikipedia:Mongolian language|White Lontinian]]: ''Londin Uls''; [[wikipedia:Kazakh language|Blue Lontinian]]: ''Löndınstan''; [[wikipedia:Serbo-Croatian|Krasnocorian]]: Лонтинија, ''Lontinija''; Hurmu Norse: ''Lontinen'') is the northern [[Realms of Hurmu|ream]] of [[Hurmu]] on the [[Apollonia]]n continent, by the mouth of the [[River Glacei]]. It borders the other Hurmu state of [[Northern Coria]] to the south. It is populated by [[Lontinians]] ([[Jawnetka]]) and people belonging to the Eastern Ulus of the Silver Yak Horde. The Jawnetka are a traditionally peaceful people, unlike their brethren in the Yak Horde. This lifestyle brought the affinity of the Hurmudans and they became friends, allies and brothers ever since. In 1694, the Eastern Ulus of the Silver Yak Horde swore their fealty to the Khan of Lontinien and Lontinien thus assumed that Ulus's territory from the Green.
The name Lontinien is Crandish in origin, and is derived from the old, long-since ruined, city of Londina, one of the few cities of the Jawnetka in pre-historic times.
Lontinien was in its early days confused with Tartary (later known as [[Eesdeheito]]), and the two names became synonymous with one another. Their cultures and languages have much similarity, and their histories have interlinked one another through subjugation in Cranda and Stormark.

[[File:Lontinienvalley.gif|left|250px|thumb|View of Lontinien near the border with Lac Glacei]]
Lontinien is generally flat, with some cliff formations in the north towards the border to [[Lac Glacei]]. Forests are rare, though exist in the far southern regions of the District. The land is steppe-like and generally not well suited for growing crops.
Lontinien's border is in the process of being demarcated and secured. Most of the it, generally, to the west, borders the lawless [[The Green|Green]]. To the north of Lontinien is [[Lac Glacei]], with a secure and peaceful border. To the south is the border to [[Çakaristan]], also a secure and peaceful border.
Lontinien lies along the southern half of the western bank (right bank) of the [[River Glacei]]. Across the river, on the eastern (left bank) is [[Arbor]]. As of now, only ferries allow for access between Arbor and Lontinien. There are informal discussions between Hurmu and Arboric diplomats on constructing a crossing between Ghawlama and the outskirts of Al-Kadra.
[[Ghawlama]] is the capital city of Lontinien, and the only real port. Ghawlama also is a toll port for access up and down the [[River Glacei]]. The largest city in the district, however, is [[Khojinacinggha]]. Other important towns of note are [[Mitrovska]] and [[Vadimbaatar]].

=== Period in Stormark ===


=== History of the Wars of Lontinien (1431) ===
=== Hurmu independence  ===
 
The '''History of the Wars of Lontinien''' was written in 1431 by Free Josef Gutasson, a Crandish historian.
 
==== Text ====
 
Before the conquest of Lyrica there was a Hurmu chief by the name of Totarr (note: Þoðarr) who ruled over a substantial kingdom from southern to mid Lyrica. However he lost half of it to the invading Slobs, and was slain in his hall by the Klossish armies, eager to conquer the Norse who had earlier conquered them. His son Öifröiterr (Note: Eyfreyðr) fled to kin upon the island of Lontinien, saying; “The Crandish have fallen upon us, none escape their triumphs. Woe to us that we ever attacked the Crandish! Brothers, aid us upon the big island so we may defeat the enemy!” (Note: Where this quote comes from is open for speculation, however it is doubtful that these where Eyfreyðr’s words.)
 
The Norse-kin upon the island had inter-wed and married with the tartars, so that they were hardly distinguishable, and had taken on Tartar names for themselves. The Khan to whom Öifröiterr was related was known as Lautala Ügüuneigen (Note: Lawtala Ügüünejgen, Seafield Sly fox) and he rose an army of horsemen that floated across in ships and attacked the Klossish, but was defeated and himself killed, along with the Norseman Öifröiterr at the battle of Küningsbruck, where his superior numbers were caught in an ambush and destroyed.
 
Now some hundred years later the Tartar house Lautala still housed a grudge against the now united Kingdom of Cranda, and so in 723 AD they launched a raid upon the isle of Lyrica, burning plundering and raping as is the tartar way. Then they left the isle for their home. When the news reached the barons and lords of Balduvien they sent word to the king in Johannsessbuurg, and some months later were given permission to launch a raid in retaliation, which they did with relish.
 
The raid was organized with three hundred longboats carrying three thousand men and seven hundred horses, and so provided set sail and landed upon the isle of Lontinien, where they enacted revenge and returned with more than three hundred tartar slaves. But they had not raided the pastures of the hose of Lautala, but rather that of Zeigüntala (Note: Zhejgüntala). The Zeigüntalas joined forces with the Lautala, and launched more destructive raids upon the Lyrican coastline.
 
In an effort to stop the raids, fortresses were established upon the isles between Lyrica and Lontinien, the strongest of which was Kasdalaujo manned by eight thousand soldiers and with walls of stone four feet thick and 20 feet tall. However the weaker fortresses themselves often became targets, proving more costly than the limited defense they provided.
 
Raids and counter raids shot back and forth between the two islands for the next six hundred years, and due to the miscalculations often involved in them, the counter raids final caught the intention of the Lontinien Grand Khan who declared that all the houses were in fact in blood feud with the Crandish. The raids only intensified until in 1354 the dreaded Grand Khan Ildüudurdugtski (Note: Ildüwduridwghcy, sword leader) personally led the greatest horse army ever assembled across with the objective of conquering the Crandish on Lyrica once and for all.
 
Ildüudurdugtski is said to have been eight feet tall, which a great black beard that hung to his waste. He could snap a man in two with his bear hands, it has been said, and would eat the flesh of his subordinates that failed him. (Note: This description is entirely Crandish propaganda. From what we can peace together though the man had a beard he was only about six feet and not a cannibal.) His army was over seven hundred thousand in number (Note: Most likely an exaggeration on the historian’s part, the number more likely only 250,000), and came over in many thousands of longship all at once. They first besieged and overran the island defense, then landed upon the shores of Balduvien, where they rode like demons and destroyed with relish.
 
The Tartar army rode first to Baltdun, which they razed to the ground, killing many thousands there and in the surrounding countryside. They destroyed every fortress they came across, riding northeast along the coastal area familiar to them from past raids at first, and then into the interior, towards the heavily fortified city of Metbuurg.
 
Now as all this was happening the King of Cranda, Jaams II, had raised an army and a fleet, and sailed south to Lyrica. He had with him 80,000 soldiers and 700 vessels, and landed in the north and marched south to Metbuurg, adding to the 12,000 soldiers already garrisoned there.
 
The battle was joined in 1355, and the siege lasted for eleven years, with Jaams dying two years into it of fever, and his son Fretrick II taking over, though keeping his father’s death secret until the siege was broken. Fretrick himself lead the charge from the main gate that finally broke the Tartar lines and forced them to flee to the coast. Over twenty thousand tartar prisoners were taken and sold as slaves.
 
Following the victory the Crandish armies set off in pursuit, destroying the majority of the tartar forces remaining, and taking Ildüudurdugtski as a prisoner, and having him publicly executed in Metbuurg when the tartar khans failed to produce a ransom within a year. All totaled, a further forty thousand tartars were taken.
 
Fretrick wished to follow up the defeat of the tartars that had invaded Lyrica with a decisive action to put a stop to all tartar raids, as the death of the Grand Khan would surely make them increase. He set about readying for the conquest of Lontinien. (Note: The tartars were so weakened by their great defeat it is doubtful any further raids would have been a serious problem.)
 
The Crandish forces were split into four armies, one led by the king himself, one by Baron Vilhelm fonn Metbuurgo, another by Baron Josef Wahr (of Kiezlant), and the forth by Gerhart Freemann (of Johannsessbuurg), all landing on different points of the island in spring of 1367 The tartars fought back with great ferociousness, and the conquest took a further ten years, to be completed by his son Jaams III six years after Fretrick’s death in 1371.


The tartars fought a number of very hard battles, and the campaign was a mix of victories and defeats. The new Grand Khan, Gedussüchugurchu (Note: Gedesükhughurakhu, stomach breaker) was every bit as ferocious as his predecessor, and inspired such fear and hatred among his armies and their commanders that they often committed mass suicide rather than face his wrath when a defeat took place. (Note: No doubt an exaggeration, should the Grand Khan have acted in such a way he would have been at blood feud with every house on the island and quickly deposed). He often led his armies personally, and defeated the Crandish forces on a number of occasions, though they were always able to regroup and continue the campaign. Reinforcements were constantly had to be provided to the Crandishmen; it is said the war nearly destroyed the Crandish economy for lack of manpower.
* 1689: Lontinien joins the [[Hurmu Trust Territory]], its Khan, [[Temüjin]], becomes co-ruler of Hurmu
* 1690: Lontinien becomes part of the newly restored state of Hurmu.
* 1691:
* 1692:
* 1693:
* 1694: With the ''Eastern Ulus of the Silver Yak Horde'' swearing their fealty to the Khan of Lontinien, and thereby their allegiance to the state of Hurmu and the Order of the Holy Lakes, Lontinien's territory expanded to include the territory under the dominance of the Eastern Ulus (centred in [[Khojinacinggha]]). As such, Lontinien's population increased by 3.17 million people speaking a Lontinian dialect. Moreover, at the same time, Lontinien expanded to integrate Mitrovska into it, after the population there had asked for Hurmu's aid in pacifying the city and restoring it to order. As such, some 150,000 people of the Corian tongue were added to the population of Lontinien.


Other notable tartar khans were Tskorwin Aijussükee (Note: Corwin Ajusükej, highland pasture bear-axe) who eventually changed sides in the conflict, which possibly lead to its victory and why the Tskorwin house controls half the island, and Lautala Zirükeezida (Note: Lawtala Zhirükejzhyda, spear-heart) who was killed in battle at Rohingrad in 1372, after fighting the Crandish for five years.
==Economy==
Lontinien is a region of Hurmu, so economic fluctuations in Hurmu directly affect the country. Lontinien shows a communist-like economic structure and mainly makes a living on livestock. The influence of the state on animal husbandry is enormous. A significant part of farm animals is still in the hands of private enterprise and collectivization system is applied. The transition to the free market spread rapidly after the expansion of Lontinien, and [[Ghawlama]] is seen as the bastion of free trade. In addition, Lontinien has underground resources, it owes this to ancient creatures. Oil was found in parts of Lontinien, but not enough.
===Industry===
Light industry is observable throughout the country, most of which are located in the city centre. Most factories are meat packaging, bacon production, flour mill, textiles, chemicals and cement. Serious industry is monopolized around [[Ghawlama]] and [[Khojinacinggha]]. Ghawlama is more dynamic and easier to transport than the city of Khojinacinggha, so Ghawama is home to fifty percent of industrial factories, while Khojinacinggha is forty percent.


And so once the conquest was complete Jaams III left Lontinien for his palaces in the north, after appointing a Viceroy. The country was reorganized, and almost entirely converted from their primitive pagan faiths to the true faith of Oten. So ends the narrative.
It makes extensive use of the underground resources in Lontinien. The mines are gold, tin, zinc, iron and boron. With the discovery of iron resources, Lontinien began to progress rapidly in the white goods and automotive business. The country's first domestically produced car, the [[Marza]], will be on the road soon, engineer learners taken to [[Lac Glacei]] and [[Kildare]] ([[Shireroth]]) mastered the car's know-how and, with help from Ghawlama's wealthiest wealthy, Marza Inc. company was founded.
===Tourism===
Transportation to Khojinacinggha city is provided directly. You can reach directly by bus or plane. Here, too, it is a city similar to Ghawlama and just as filthy. The city structure of Khojinacinggha is exactly the same as the capital, but a little more organized. The city has expanded along four major roads and the city center continues to get more compact. Khojinacinggha pays attention to both national and popular sports, and many sports facilities can be found, but interest in other popular sports is low, with the exception of basketball and table tennis. Khojinacinggha's entertainment centers are of better quality and there is a gay bar. . There is more interest in international food here and fast food chains prefer this city.


=== Fretrick Anglerr's description (1467) ===
Other cities remain like villages compared to the two big cities. The populations of other cities never exceed 80,000. The fun is too bad the city is mostly made up of civil servants. Other people form villages with tents called Yus and lead a traditional life. They are far from technology and children before the age of three know professional archery and horse riding. In addition, villages are richer in activity. They do animal husbandry naturally.


Fretrick Anglerr (Frederick Angler) was the Crandish governor over Lontinien in 1467 AN, when the area constituted an island west of Lyrica. In the years thereafter, the Lontinians were forcefully moved to the Apollonian mainland.
== Demography ==
The Lontinian nation consists of two major languages, [[wikipedia:Mongolian language|White Lontinian]] (Jawnetka) and [[wikipedia:Kazakh language|Blue Lontinian]] (Tartar). These languages, although sharing similar names and having co-existed in the Lontinian nation for centuries, are not genetically related at all. Blue Lontinian, historically also known as Tartar, is more closely related to [[Çakaristan|Çakari]], [[Thraci language|Thraci]] and [[Hazarese]] than it is to White Lontinian. Of the ethnic Lontinian nation, three fifths have White Lontinian as their native language, while two fifths have Blue Lontinian.


==== Description ====
Thereafter, Krasnocorian and Crandish are large minority languages in Lontinien. Krasnocorian is spoken by approximately 10% of the entire population of Lontinien, but are geographically centred in the [[Mitrovska]] area. The main cultural organization for the Krasnocorian population is the [[Society of Yeshua]]. Crandish is spoken in pockets in western Lontinien.


The barbarians that live upon this islande are of little note technilogically or culturally. They are a muddle of races, thoughe chiefe amongst these are that of the Norse or Hurmu, and that of the wilde tribes found upon the mainlande. These tribes are known by many names, the Mongols, the Tartars, the Huns, the Freenesians, a name given to them moste inappropriately, no people could be more bound. They call themselves the Jawnetka (Younetkah), or people of the horse, no doubte there defining feature.


Upon this islande there are two chief cities, namely Hopkinslaaden and Rohingrad, bothe built by the Norse, who by now are so muddled with the Tartars so as to be unworthy of the designatione. Bothe cities are smalle in populatione, the majority living upon the wilde grasselandes that cover the islande. Mostely Crandishmen have moved into the cities now, so that our eares need not be polluted with the horrible gurgles that the Tartars refere to as their language.

The Tartars themselves have recently been converted to the true faithe, somethinge for which we may all rejoice, fore their devotione has proven most profounde. They cling still to their olde traditiones, as one might expect of such primitive people, but many are compatible with our holy faithe.
All in all, about 50% of the population is White Lontinian, 37% Blue Lontinian, 1% Norse, 3% Crandish, 2% Krasnocorian, 1% Zeedic, and 6% "Other".


In warfaire, the Tartar shows his opponente no mercie, taking the culte of glorie farre beyond where a civilized Crandishmen would. They kill everyone, women and children, burning and plundering as they move, and committe acts of rape and murder that would make even our moste enthusiste berserks hide for fear.
== Sport ==
[[File:Balaan.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Two athletes playing Khuresh in Balaan]]


They pride themselves in their horses, and never will a true Tartar fight on foote unless his horse be killed; to do otherwise would be preceaved as cowardesse. There weapones are the famouse Tartar bowe, archerie being an area they display great skille, the lance, which they make of wood and designed to knock enemy knightes off their horses rather then kill him, and great war hammers.
Lontinian sports are usually defensive sports. Lontinian people like to play their traditional sports instead of popular sports, the most popular sport in the region is wrestling. [[wikipedia:Wrestling|Wrestling]] is very popular in the terrioty, people of the terrioty play many variants of wrestling. But the most played type of wrestling is [[wikipedia:Khuresh|Khuresh]]. Khuresh, which has a name that is extremely similar to the [[Thraci language]], is often played in Eastern Lontinien. Another popular sport is [[wikipedia:Archery|archery]], a lot of skilled archers emerge from this terrioty. The Lontinian people are a community that loves horseback riding, and almost all Lontinian people know how to ride. In addition, an annual festival called [[wikipedia:Naadam|Balaan]] is held and the Lontinian revelers do not miss this entertainment. Traditional sports are played in this festival and the athletes show their skills. The government built many stadiums for Balaan and other multi-sports.  


The Tartars dress in thicke furs, no matter what the time of yeare is, and have mostly black hair. The Hurmu blood in distinguishes our Lontiniens from those found on the mainlande in that they sometimes have red or blonde haire, unlike the uniforme blacke found elsewhere. Their eyes are spittes almost, their chinnes sharp and pointed yet very small, with sharpe fange like teethe. They are very large, supporting the idea they are indeede descendentes of the giantes, standing seven feet tall in some cases (as opposed to a giante, who must be at least 20). They are all very stronge, being conditioned so by their bleake lifestyle of nomadic herding.
Football and similar sports are young and less played in this region, football was very popular in the former [[Krasnocoria]]n lands. There used to be a [[FK Spartak Mitrovska|football club]] in Mitrovska, the stadium with a capacity of 30,000 is still standing in [[Mitrovska]].

Lontinien (White Lontinian: Londin Uls; Blue Lontinian: Löndınstan; Krasnocorian: Лонтинија, Lontinija; Hurmu Norse: Lontinen) is the northern ream of Hurmu on the Apollonian continent, by the mouth of the River Glacei. It borders the other Hurmu state of Northern Coria to the south. It is populated by Lontinians (Jawnetka) and people belonging to the Eastern Ulus of the Silver Yak Horde. The Jawnetka are a traditionally peaceful people, unlike their brethren in the Yak Horde. This lifestyle brought the affinity of the Hurmudans and they became friends, allies and brothers ever since. In 1694, the Eastern Ulus of the Silver Yak Horde swore their fealty to the Khan of Lontinien and Lontinien thus assumed that Ulus's territory from the Green.

The name Lontinien is Crandish in origin, and is derived from the old, long-since ruined, city of Londina, one of the few cities of the Jawnetka in pre-historic times.

Lontinien was in its early days confused with Tartary (later known as Eesdeheito), and the two names became synonymous with one another. Their cultures and languages have much similarity, and their histories have interlinked one another through subjugation in Cranda and Stormark.

Geography

View of Lontinien near the border with Lac Glacei

Lontinien is generally flat, with some cliff formations in the north towards the border to Lac Glacei. Forests are rare, though exist in the far southern regions of the District. The land is steppe-like and generally not well suited for growing crops.

Lontinien's border is in the process of being demarcated and secured. Most of the it, generally, to the west, borders the lawless Green. To the north of Lontinien is Lac Glacei, with a secure and peaceful border. To the south is the border to Çakaristan, also a secure and peaceful border.

Lontinien lies along the southern half of the western bank (right bank) of the River Glacei. Across the river, on the eastern (left bank) is Arbor. As of now, only ferries allow for access between Arbor and Lontinien. There are informal discussions between Hurmu and Arboric diplomats on constructing a crossing between Ghawlama and the outskirts of Al-Kadra.

Ghawlama is the capital city of Lontinien, and the only real port. Ghawlama also is a toll port for access up and down the River Glacei. The largest city in the district, however, is Khojinacinggha. Other important towns of note are Mitrovska and Vadimbaatar.

History

Lontinien is probably one of the oldest parts of Micras. It used to be a nation of its own before being annected to Cranda (before Menelmacar even existed). Later, the culture of Lontinien merged with that of Tartary and the storyline developed: Apollonian Tartars spoke a Mongolic language (not a Turkic) and placenames reflected that. Tartary has since been reduced to the small part of Lontinien by the River Glacei, but it's city still has a Mongolic name: Ghawlama, "the river-mouth".

  • Founded in North Cranda as Londina
  • Moved to the island as Lontinien in 6.5.0.
  • Crandish–Arminian era
  • Hurmu
  • Stormark

Timeline

1599–1603: Part of The Dominion

1606: Lakkvia formed as part of Craitland, Ghawlama occupied by Jingdao

1607: Outside Ghawlama, Lontinien under Cheltia

1614: Cheltia collapses, Ghawlama remains under Jingdaoese rule

1615: Toketi (Gralus) claims the former Cheltian parts of Lontinien, Jingdao leaves Ghawlama to the Green

Period in Stormark

Hurmu independence

  • 1689: Lontinien joins the Hurmu Trust Territory, its Khan, Temüjin, becomes co-ruler of Hurmu
  • 1690: Lontinien becomes part of the newly restored state of Hurmu.
  • 1691:
  • 1692:
  • 1693:
  • 1694: With the Eastern Ulus of the Silver Yak Horde swearing their fealty to the Khan of Lontinien, and thereby their allegiance to the state of Hurmu and the Order of the Holy Lakes, Lontinien's territory expanded to include the territory under the dominance of the Eastern Ulus (centred in Khojinacinggha). As such, Lontinien's population increased by 3.17 million people speaking a Lontinian dialect. Moreover, at the same time, Lontinien expanded to integrate Mitrovska into it, after the population there had asked for Hurmu's aid in pacifying the city and restoring it to order. As such, some 150,000 people of the Corian tongue were added to the population of Lontinien.

Economy

Lontinien is a region of Hurmu, so economic fluctuations in Hurmu directly affect the country. Lontinien shows a communist-like economic structure and mainly makes a living on livestock. The influence of the state on animal husbandry is enormous. A significant part of farm animals is still in the hands of private enterprise and collectivization system is applied. The transition to the free market spread rapidly after the expansion of Lontinien, and Ghawlama is seen as the bastion of free trade. In addition, Lontinien has underground resources, it owes this to ancient creatures. Oil was found in parts of Lontinien, but not enough.

Industry

Light industry is observable throughout the country, most of which are located in the city centre. Most factories are meat packaging, bacon production, flour mill, textiles, chemicals and cement. Serious industry is monopolized around Ghawlama and Khojinacinggha. Ghawlama is more dynamic and easier to transport than the city of Khojinacinggha, so Ghawama is home to fifty percent of industrial factories, while Khojinacinggha is forty percent.

It makes extensive use of the underground resources in Lontinien. The mines are gold, tin, zinc, iron and boron. With the discovery of iron resources, Lontinien began to progress rapidly in the white goods and automotive business. The country's first domestically produced car, the Marza, will be on the road soon, engineer learners taken to Lac Glacei and Kildare (Shireroth) mastered the car's know-how and, with help from Ghawlama's wealthiest wealthy, Marza Inc. company was founded.

Tourism

Transportation to Khojinacinggha city is provided directly. You can reach directly by bus or plane. Here, too, it is a city similar to Ghawlama and just as filthy. The city structure of Khojinacinggha is exactly the same as the capital, but a little more organized. The city has expanded along four major roads and the city center continues to get more compact. Khojinacinggha pays attention to both national and popular sports, and many sports facilities can be found, but interest in other popular sports is low, with the exception of basketball and table tennis. Khojinacinggha's entertainment centers are of better quality and there is a gay bar. . There is more interest in international food here and fast food chains prefer this city.

Other cities remain like villages compared to the two big cities. The populations of other cities never exceed 80,000. The fun is too bad the city is mostly made up of civil servants. Other people form villages with tents called Yus and lead a traditional life. They are far from technology and children before the age of three know professional archery and horse riding. In addition, villages are richer in activity. They do animal husbandry naturally.

Demography

The Lontinian nation consists of two major languages, White Lontinian (Jawnetka) and Blue Lontinian (Tartar). These languages, although sharing similar names and having co-existed in the Lontinian nation for centuries, are not genetically related at all. Blue Lontinian, historically also known as Tartar, is more closely related to Çakari, Thraci and Hazarese than it is to White Lontinian. Of the ethnic Lontinian nation, three fifths have White Lontinian as their native language, while two fifths have Blue Lontinian.

Thereafter, Krasnocorian and Crandish are large minority languages in Lontinien. Krasnocorian is spoken by approximately 10% of the entire population of Lontinien, but are geographically centred in the Mitrovska area. The main cultural organization for the Krasnocorian population is the Society of Yeshua. Crandish is spoken in pockets in western Lontinien.

Wrestling is very popular in the terrioty, people of the terrioty play many variants of wrestling. But the most played type of wrestling is Khuresh. Khuresh, which has a name that is extremely similar to the Thraci language, is often played in Eastern Lontinien. Another popular sport is archery, a lot of skilled archers emerge from this terrioty. The Lontinian people are a community that loves horseback riding, and almost all Lontinian people know how to ride. In addition, an annual festival called Balaan is held and the Lontinian revelers do not miss this entertainment. Traditional sports are played in this festival and the athletes show their skills. The government built many stadiums for Balaan and other multi-sports.
