'''Riopoderos''', officially the '''State of Riopoderos''', is a state in the central West of the [[Federal States of Archanta]]. Riopoderos is bordered by [[Sierra]] to the north, [[Apawiland]] to the northeast, [[Osaquoya]] to the east, [[Tennewa]] to the south, [[Aquilia]] to the southwest, and [[Clamash]] to the west. Riopoderos is named after the abundance of rivers, streams, and rainfall. The name is comprised of the Castellanese word "rio," which means river, and the Poa'ku'iwo word '''poderaa''', which means "fertile lands."
=History & Etymology=


Before Ingerish settlement, Native Archantan tribes, such as the Apawi, Kaitenas, and Poa'ku'iwo tribes traversed the lands. These tribes used the fertile lands to grow an abundance of crops. The men of these tribes were responsible for hunting for animals, and providing animal hides to be sewn into clothes and covers for their home structures. The current generations who have origins in these tribes may be found heavily within their respective Native Reserves, the most famous being the [[Poa'ku'iwo Nation Reserve]].
===Pre-Ulethan Settlement===
Historians' leading theory suggests that the name "Riopoderos" is a mistranslated Poakuiwo phrase. The phrase in question, "pwō-deráa", translates roughly to "the colorful plain." In the latter 16th century, prior to Ulethan settlement, the Poakuiwo and the neighboring Maskonee peoples formed a confederation that spanned most of modern day eastern Riopoderos, western Des Plaines, and far South Apawiland. In the western half of the state, the Planos tribes formed a similar confederation that spanned most of the lower Colurona Valley.  


=History=
===Castellanese Exploration===
The 18th century saw the era of Ulethan Exploration around the globe. The lands of the now Federal States would become some of the first infant colonies of the growing Valonian and Castellanese empires. Castellán established the colony of Esperanza in the now state of Cosperica


==Prehistory==
=== The Effesian Westward Expansion ===
Before foreign settlement, native peoples roamed the area. These peoples, like some others, were semi-nomadic, following herds of migrating bison, hunting them for their meat and hides. The six major tribes that inhabited Riopoderos were: Planos, Kaitenas, Apawi, Poa’ku’iwo, Wa’pako*, and Ravvalipo**. The Planos tribes inhabited the prairies and mountains of modern day [[Planos County]]. The Planos were very particular in their strategic abilities. Archaeologists have noted the special craftsmanship of weapons, maps, and clothing that were similarly colored to the grasses, which was used for camouflage.


==The First Non-Native Settlements==


Because of the geography of Riopoderos, settlers from the eastern half of the [[Federal States]] made more settlements on the eastern half of the territory (at this time, Riopoderos was not yet granted statehood)
