Panstvo-hjomim

The Panstvo-hjomim (singular: Panstvo-hjom) (Literal English translation from Bosomnian: Country-people or Country-humans), also known as PanHjo for short, or The Earth Dwellers, are a group of characters that have been featured in a lot of Al's creations, but more so in their YouTube channel. The name of this group and it's vagueness have been quite of a running gag throughout Al's channel, though there had been hints as to what it means fully. Al had once said that "it's probably obvious to others what it means by now," but it's confirmed that hasn't been the case.

They play a semi-major role in the overall lore of the Spiritverse, and two of them are pretty much some of Al's main characters. Lately, they're being paired along with the Pjorim in a recent story.

Common appearance details
Each member of the group looks like any average person, but notably with additional "non-human" features, like dragon horns and such. Their main palette, either from physical appearance or clothing, will be synonymous with a country's flag, and sometimes their clothing will be completely themed after said country.

History (Development-wise)
Development around the Panstvo-hjomim began in 2016, when Al began having a history geek phase just after discovering the Reddit meme Polandball, or Countryballs as they're additionally known as. Al then began to humanize a few of the characters just for fun, their initial designs presenting the stereotypes brought on by the meme, but not much to an offensive extent.

Time went on and they later grew to be actual original characters by Al, having individual names and dubbing the group name Paňstvłhjømer, from their brother's old conlang, Bumsian. Al had later dropping the stereotypes and adapting new identities for the, but still keeping the "country personification" concept. Other medias centering the same concept have influenced and inspired Al to add certain ideas to the group, especially with infamous anime franchise Hetalia and animation meme subcommunity Countryhumans, which funnily enough is the almost literal translation of Paňstvłhjømer. Despite that, they never used the group for anything close to politics, though there were few times they used them to explore history.

They've been a subject of numerous stories Al had provided as of current, and they were pretty much the first step into developing the Spiritverse as a whole.

Around 2021, Al had suddenly grew discomfort regarding the group, because of concerns with how making stories with almost personifications of existing countries could be probelmatic if not done properly, and took a break from developing them and the Spiritverse altogether. During that break they had begun development on the Paletteverse. Recently as of August 2022, they decided the Spiritverse is now going on a soft reboot, and has since became comfortable using the Paňstvłhjømer again, especially now that they're developing the newer Spiritverse stories, World's Delight and Small Spark.

Since October of 2022, the group's name has been changed to Panstvo-hjomim, to accommodate with Bumsian's reform into Bosomnian. The Piéřen as well had a name change to Pjorim. The names still mean the same, they just have different spellings.

History (Lore-wise)
By how long everything else has existed, the Panstvo-hjomim are one of the younger groups by far.

Millennia ago on Earth, societies were just initially forming, and so were kingdoms, empires, countries and the like. Gaia had the realization she couldn't manage so many corners of her planet at once, and she didn't know if she was allowed to make her own life, considering to what she knows a blossoming of a special life just comes by chance. But she did so anyways.

Blossoming from special, oversized flowers from the capitals of these developing societies came what she had called the Earth Guardians, special forms of humans who were tasked with one thing, and that was to guard their assigned countries. She even made it so that for whatever article of clothing they wore, the symbols or colours of their country would show.

Unfortunately for the Earth Guardians and unbeknownst to Gaia, the humans never paid attention to the Earth Guardians or even took them seriously, leading to all of them becoming lost as to what even are they supposed to do in life, and after centuries of existing, they quit their duties as Earth Guardians, and have resorted to being Earth Dwellers.

As for their whereabouts, they're still providing some way for their assigned country's communities, whether it's providing food, clothing, and/or healthcare. Some have just decided to live the life they want, others have resorted to politics as they feel it's what they were intented for.

Trivia

 * Bumsian, the constructed language (or conlang for short) where this group and the Pjorim derives its name from has been discontinued. The creator of the conlang, being Al's brother, has stated in his own words the reason why is that he "got bored of it ö777," among other reasons that have to do with the conlang's inconsistency. Only the words "Paňstvłhjømer" and "Piéřen" were what remained of the outdated conlang.
 * Since then, Al had decided to reform the language, and in under a new name, Bosomnian. The goal of it was to simplify almost everything Bumsian originally had, while adding some form of consistency within the language. "Panstvo," "hjom," and "pjor" were one of the first few words Al had simplified from the original.
 * The name of the group is actually a combination of two words,  'panstvo'  and  'hjomim.' 'Hjomim' has been indirectly confirmed to mean 'humans' or 'people,' and since the conlang reform, Al had decided to reveal here that 'panstvo' just means 'nation' or 'country.'
 * The Panstvo-hjomim have a set creation day or "birthday," being  December  30,  2016. This is often called the 'Pan-niversary' (portmanteau of 'Panstvo-hjomim' and 'anniversary'), and Al often makes special art or videos celebrating the event.
 * The fifth Pan-niversary in 2021 though, was celebrated months  after, as  duri ng that time Al was still taking a break from Spiritverse related things.
