The State of Iroquesia, commonly known as just Iroquesia (/iː.oʊ.kuː.ʒə/ EE-oh-KOO-zhuh) is a state located in the south-western Federal States within the West Lakes region. The state is bordered in all four cardinal directions by other states; Illuvia bordering to the north, Mishota to the east, Seneppi to the south, and Minnonigan to the west. Iroquesia also holds a maritime border on Lake Sauganash with AR120-56 to Iroquesia's south-west.

Iroquesia's borders (including maritime borders) span an area consisting of 13,281 square miles (34,397km²). Geographically, the state sits on the shorelines of two lakes of the West Lakes region. Iroquesia sits on Lake Sauaganash's eastern shores, and also sits on Lake Seneppi's western shores. Iroquesia internally contains the majority of Lake Cheyelle, a minor lake within the West Great Lakes complex, sharing the lake's coastline with Seneppi.

Iroquesia at it's base-level sits at a sea-level of 179m above sea-level at it's shore with Lake Seneppi. The state's highest point is in it's far north, at Scarlett Hill which has a peak of TBC meters. A large number of Iroquesia's areas of higher elevation are due to the foothills of the Cordilleras mountain range that runs centrally north-to-south down the middle of Iroquesia.

The first settlers of the lands that would become Iroquesia were the Ihoque peoples, Native Archantans whose cultures originated from similar cultures found in Minnonigan and Mennowa. The Ihoque peoples settled on the foothills of the Cordilleras mountains in modern day Iroquesia, rather than continuing across the mountain range like the majority of the Minnonigan culture.

Iroquesia was formerlly incorporated within Seneppi until 1894. The independence of Iroquesia came about after a boom of industry, and the subsequent incubating of a unique and distinct culture to that of Seneppi's starting from the mid 1850s, leading up to it's independence in 1894.

The former industrial heartlands of the West Lakes region, specifically for Lake Sauganash and eastward, the state suffered a prolonged industrial collapse from the 1950s until it's peak in the 1980s. Since the 1980s until recently, the state had been economically stagnant.

The capital of the state is located in Finch Hill, within the foothills of the Cordilleras. However, the most populated city in Iroquesia is Miller and it's corresponding metropolitan area, the Lake Sauganash Corridor which by-and-large continuous urban development from Iroquesia's border with Minnonigan to it's border with Seneppi along the shore of Lake Sauganash. The Lake Sauagansh Corridor includes the metropolitan areas of Lake City, Minnonigan and the Clinton-Gramercy metropolitan area in Seneppi.

Other notable conurbations in Iroquesia include Pike, located on the shores of Lake Cheyelle, and Bishop-Bureau.
