Kamandé

Kamandé (Ka-Man-Day) is a former region of the Federal State of Orovoda that gained its peaceful independence on July 23rd 2010. Kamandé is an African word meaning Generation, reflecting the new era the country is beginning by claiming its own rights.

Kamandé's flag national emblem is the Moon hourglass, an object said to have been grateful to ancien civilizations of the country. According to the legend, two pieces of pure glass coming from the sky, in the shape of the Moon, landed on the Earth, near the ocean, and stayed on the ground for hundreds of thousands years without anyone discovering them. The glass slowly began to impregnate itself of this water over the years, gaining a part of the Ocean's soul. It is said that anyone with a pure mind holding the Hourglass would control time and share the wisdom of water through his life. The Hourglass must be passed to the youngest of the person's children through an officiel ceremony shortly before death occurs. If the water inside the Hourglass flows, the child is allowed to be the next holder. If the water refuses to move, the Hourglass is telling the child doesn't have a pure mind and foresees that neither of his descendants will. In this case, the Moon hourglass breaks itself and the entire world must wait hundreds of thousands more years for another piece of glass to fall from the sky.

The Moon Hourglass is drawn on Kamandé's national flag.
