Allendea (/ˌælənˈdiːə/, AL-AN-DEE-UH; Castellanese: /aˈʃende.a/, Valonian: Allende /a.jɛ̃d/, Pahalo: Ashendea /aˈʃendea/, Itanese: Y Rapykuéri /ɨ ɾapɨˈkueɾi/), officially the Allendean Republic (Castellanese: República Allendea, Franquese: République d’Allende, Pahalo: Hemìnójh né Ashendea, Itanese: Tavakuairetã y Rapykuéri) is a country in Southwestern Tarephia. It shares borders with ??? to its west, Tigeria and Kotel to its southwest, Saint Margaret to its southeast (bordering the Azavení peninsula), Broceliande to its east, Barzona to its northeast and ??? to its north. Situated on the Tulyan peninsula, Allendea is part of the western Lycene region. Allendea covers an area of approximately 106,777 km² (66,348 mi²) and has a population of about 12.99 million, mainly centred in the urban areas of Oridica, Fojenica and several smaller agglomerations. Allendea's capital is Catamia.

The area that is now Allendea has been continuously inhabited for at least 40,000 years. Various Zuyete tribes have predominantly inhabited the central and northern areas of Allendea and the eastern Soboko Republic, while the south was mostly inhabited by the seafaring Itanese peoples, with their origins throughout the western Lyc. Over time, these tribes developed into nation states. With the arrival of Franquese colonisers in the region during the 12th century, trade intensified with the outside world, especially with Valony, Castellan and Plevia, which eventually led to the invasion and colonisation of Allendea by the Valonian empire, where it became part of Rivages colony (also known as Rogany or New Valony) in 1151. After integration into the empire, the first cities were built in the south, notably San Ezequiel, Malazare, Neurey and Carrey, while already existing cities in the north and centre such as Oridica were repurposed. Due to the increased instability and fracturing of the Rivages colony throughout the 16th and 17th century, the Castellanese empire invaded and took control of Allendea in 1642 alongside Barzona, ??? and Saint Margaret in the search for gold and other minerals and in protection of its colonial interests. Disrupting several important Rivagien trade lines, this eventually led to the collapse of the Franquese colony. Allendea was restructured towards Castellan with a much stricter governance than under Franquese governance, named Great Fojenica. Due to this, the United Provinces of Great Fojenica declared independence in 1811 and war followed. In 1815 Castellan surrendered and withdrew from the country, establishing Great Fojenica as an independent country. Barzona and Saint Margaret withdrew from Great Fojenica in 1823, giving it its modern borders. The nation was unstable, with the semi-democratic government and the country's military constantly in competition for power. Following the constitutional crisis of 1852, a year-long civil war erupted between traditionalist and reformist powers, ending in reformist victory. In 1853 the Allendean and Fojenican Republic was founded, with its capital in Catamia. In 1891 the state changed to a confederal system, and in 1900 the current federal system was put in place. Allendea entered its 'Golden Age' in the 1910s and 1920s which ended in 1950 with recession due to the Great War. Even after the Great War ended, Allendea was not able to recover. A socialist president was elected in 1963, however the military enacted a coup d'état’’ to prevent his presidency and to 'stabilise the country's situation'. A civic-military dictatorship was installed which persecuted political opponents in a systematic manner. After 20 years, the military relinquished its power in 1983 following major protests and riots, paving the way for a new constitution with the state form of a federal parliamentary democracy.

Nowadays, Allendea consistently ranks high in democracy, peace, e-government and infrastructure quality compared to most of the continent. Allendea has rather high levels of economic freedom and is one of the most socially progressive countries in Tarephia with the permission of same-sex marriage, abortion and some drugs. It's considered a quickly-developing country. The country is a founding member of the Assembly of Nations (1966), Tarephia Cooperation Council (1984) and the Lycene League (1999).

Name

Castellanese and Valonian

The country's name Allendea has its origins in the historical phrase "tierra allende los montes" (land beyond the mountains), first used in the diaries of the Castellanese conquistador Apolinar Guiomar de Garrién in 1462 to avoid using the Valonian name for the region at the time, which was Fojénique, named after the general Armand Eloi Fojénique. The name is assumed to have been used from the perspective of the Alguacil valley looking towards the north, particularly to the Jacquaré river (now named Allende river). From the phrase, several terms for the north of Allendea or the entire country emerged as it was popular with settlers. De Garrién proposed to the Castellanese colonial administration to name the colony Allendea or Allendesmontes, however they preferred to use Great Fojenica (Castellanese: Gran Fojenica), the castellanised version of the Valonian name. The name was reused for the Allendean and Fojenican Republic (Castellanese: República Allendea y Fojenica) following the end of the civil war in 1853 to indicate the moving of power away from Fojenica towards the centre of the country. In 1891, the country's name finally changed to simply Allendea as a confederation (Castellanese: Confederación Allendea) and as a federal republic in 1900.

Itanese

The Itanese name of the country, Y Rapykuéri, literally "behind the water", has its origins from the old governing classes centred on Yvyguasu^∈⊾ƨ island. They often considered the Allendean mainland as the hinterland, while the centre of Itanese society was in the Austral Islands^∈⊾ƨ. It is also theorised that this name is a parody or adaptation of the Castellanese etymology of Allendea.

Name

The official name of the country is Allendean Republic or Republic of Allendea (Castellanese: República Allendea, Valonian: République d’Allende, Pahalo: Hemìnójh né Ashendea, Itanese: Tavakuairetã y Rapykuéri), however according to the constitution, it may also be referred to as Allendean Nation or Nation of Allendea (Castellanese: Nación Allendea, Franquese: Nation d’Allende, Pahalo: Mùjujê né Ashendea, Itanese: Tetã y Rapykuéri).

Tribal Era

The first recorded human settlement in Allendea is found in the flatlands of the Catamia province from about 130 thousand years ago in the San Blas caves, where there are paintings of hands, though it is theorised that humans have inhabited Allendea for 3.3 million years.

San Blas caves

They mostly lived from animals, and had towns made of small huts. They started settling down around 12 thousand years ago, and slowly the Zuyete language drifted into various languages. The first cultures started to develop. Around 5 thousand years ago, the southern areas of Allendea were settled by the Itanese, as a part of early colonisation of the area, which also included parts of Damenstrom, Yrasema and Airannia.

Imperial Era

In the year -100, the Itanese in Allendea had founded their state, the first large nation in Allendea, Capuchea. With their first army of sorts, they quickly expanded north of the coastal regions, by the year 0 they had roughly the land of the current Fojenica province. Seeing this, the Apelêzé (Avaléz) city-state, at the time the largest Pahalan city, called for the other Pahalan city-states to join them into a large state. All had accepted, except for the city of Mbadzêwà (Machegua), which was subsequently conquered by the Capucheans in the year 13. Soon, many conflicts broke out, however the border between the Pahalo Empire and Capuchea always roughly stayed at the northern border of the current Bervoy and Cóstel provinces. During the wars, the Pahalans mostly hid in the mountains and waited for the invaders to come and then killed them. They have rarely invaded lands of Capuchea. The war ended in the year 32, after which both empires relaxed their rule and functioned as a “small government”, requiring taxes from their subjected territories. Not much about the following era is known since people at the time did not write.

Valonian colonisation

In 1151, the Valonian colonised southern Allendea and used it as an agricultural colony. It was also used as a way of trade between the colonial cities of Valoris and Emporie la Jolie. The first Valonian city was Saint-Ezéchiel (San Ezequiel), which was the main city and commercial hub. It was the only city built by the Valonians, other settlements did exist but were built by small farmers independently and were small in size, usually 3-10 houses at the intersection of roads. The rest of “Allendea” was conquered after a treaty was signed with Ingrea, where the west of the TBD peninsula (the land which is now called Soboko) was “reserved” to the Ingerish, and the east was “reserved” to the Valonian (i.e. the Ingerish didn't colonise in the east and the Valonian didn't colonise in the west). The local indigenous groups were largely suppressed: the Pahalo were shunned into the forests, and the Capucheans were largely assimilated. However, many rural areas that were not used for agriculture were left alone, allowing indigenous people to thrive there. In 1354, the colony was officially named Fojenique after the General Armand Éloi Fojenique.

War of Fojenica and Castellanese colonisation

When word spread that there is gold in the TBD mountains in the north of the colony in 1641, Castellan attempted to buy it, which the Valonians declined. Castellan started an invasion,called the War of Fojenica. One year into the war, the Castellanese conquered the north coast, and Valony agreed to stop the war and letting the Castellanese buy the land. In 1643, the colony of Fojenique was formally disbanded, and ceded to Castellan. They established a new colony called Gran Fojenica, a Castellanese translation of the former name. Large untapped gold resources were mined and sold, bringing great profit to Castellan. Cities were established along the trade route from the mines to the new ports in Fojenica. As the influence and cities expanded, the indigenous were fought against even more. They were almost completely assimilated in the south, and in the centre, they were shunned onto the mountains. The north continued to be relatively sparse and ungoverned, aside from the corridor next to the Cobre river,

Independence and Gran Fojenica

In 1811, Gran Fojenica declared independence. A war started in 1812, however it was too expensive for Castellan, so they surrendered and left in 1815. The United Provinces of Gran Fojenica were founded as a sovereign state, and Carlos Fernandéz Valdilla was voted as the first president and built up the nation. He organised it into 17 provinces, most of which were in the South of the nation. Fojenica was selected as the centre of power.
