Riopoderos, officially the State of Riopoderos, is a state in the Heartland Region of the Federal States of Archanta. Riopoderos is bordered by Sierra to the north, Apawiland to the northeast, AR120-42 to the east, Tennewa to the south, Wychelle to the southwest, and Clamash to the west. Riopoderos is named after the abundance of rivers, streams, and rainfall. The name is derived from the Castellanese word "rio," which means river, and the Poa'ku'iwo word poderaa, which means "fertile lands," which in full roughly translates to "the rivers feed the fertile lands." Riopoderos features vast river valleys, mountains, coniferous forests, and bustling cities. The capital of Riopoderos is Colurona, named after the Colurona River Valley, where the city is situated. The largest city in Riopoderos is Swansonville, situated on the Quinn River on the eastern plains.

History

Prehistory

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)
