Kuhukli Paka (Huipuia Oe: Kuhukli Paka, pronounced:[kuhukli paka]) is a territory in northern Harda. It covers an area of 26991.21 km² (10421.37 sq mi) and has a population of more than 6,056,660, with a population density of 224/km² (581/sq mi). The largest metropolitan region is Tuito Fa and seat of the Soo Fa (Earth Congress); other major cities are Saolo, and Paopao. The official language is Huipuia Oe. The territory is bordered by Grisean-Thirranic Commonwealth to the east, Kalisänjo to the south, and Osaseré to the west. The largest city is Tuito Fa located on the Tuito Liu River. Kuhukli Paka is controlled or largely influenced by various anarchist, communist, and socialist trade unions, parties, and militias.

Trade unions are de facto in command of most of the economy and military forces, which includes the Kuhukli Sue (KS, Kuhukli Works) which is the dominant labor union. The governance of Kuhukli Paka is deeply rooted in the ideas of anarcho-syndicalism and anarcho-communism. Both of these ideologies draw heavily on the ideas of Tolo'o and his book Soo Sue Pasalia Pstiani Earth Works and the System Fails, which lays out a future where the workers form trade unions and take over the management of industry so that companies and businesses are directly controlled by the workers.

Etymology

Kuhukli Paka is a term deeply rooted in Cahook culture, representing the unity between the people and land. The term "Kuhukli" refers both to the Cahook people themselves and to the region they inhabit, serving as an endonym that embodies their identity and connection to their ancestral territory. "Paka," a verb in Huipuia Oe, conveys the idea of inclusivity, encompassing the entirety of the Cahook community. Other concepts that "paka" means are "all" or "complete." Together, "Kuhukli Paka" conveys the notion that the Cahook people and their land are inseparable, reflecting the core beliefs of Cahook mythology and culture. Cahook is an ingerishization of Kuhukli.

History

Main article: History of Kuhukli Paka For a chronological guide, see Timeline of Kuhukli history.

Early history

The Cahook, whose prehistoric origins trace back to approximately 7500 BCE, inhabited the valleys and coastal regions. Archaeological excavations conducted in the Tuito Valley unearthed primitive tools dating back to 4000 BCE, indicative of the early nomadic lifestyle characterized by hunting and gathering. Further discoveries along the coastal areas, particularly on Ipo Island, revealed evidence of settled communities engaging in fishing and boat making, with artifacts dating as far back as 2000 BCE. The Cahook's adaptation to diverse environments and resource utilization underscored their resilience and cultural evolution during the prehistoric era.

The agricultural revolution among the Cahook is believed to have commenced around 400, marked by the emergence of rudimentary farming practices in the fertile valleys. Archaeological excavations in Pam Uita'a have unearthed evidence of primitive tools and domesticated plant remains, indicative of early cultivation efforts. It is speculated that external influences, possibly stemming from interactions with traders or occasional raids by pirates along the Cahook coast, may have played a role in catalyzing the transition to agriculture by introducing new crop varieties or necessitating self-sufficiency measures. However, definitive evidence linking these external factors to the agricultural revolution remains disputed.

Plagues and Progress

During the 1650s, the Kuhukli region experienced a period marked by devastating plagues, which had significant socio-economic and demographic impacts on the local communities. By the 1750s, trade routes were established with neighboring regions, fostering cultural exchange and facilitating the transfer of ideas and goods. It is believed that this exchange may have played a role in the introduction of writing systems to Kuhukli Paka. In 1801, a pivotal moment occurred with the publication of the first book written in the indigenous Huipuia Oe language. Authored by Hamahama and titled "Tuito Puo," this groundbreaking work not only established linguistic norms but also elevated the status of Huipuia Oe among the Cahook populace. The year 1860 saw another milestone with the establishment of the first railway in the region by Castellanen traders, aimed at streamlining the transportation of goods, particularly in the Saolo area. By the late 1870s, mass literacy became widespread, spurred on by the establishment of literary societies and poetry writing workshops across the country, further cementing the cultural and intellectual advancement of the territory.

Deforestation

During the late 19th century, the early stages of industrialization took root in Kuhukli Paka, primarily concentrated in port cities and along riverbanks, where mills began processing textiles, particularly flax. This period also saw significant environmental repercussions, as deforestation accelerated due to industrial expansion, disrupting traditional ecological patterns and leading to widespread forest depletion by the 1890s. Despite these challenges, by 1900, a burgeoning intellectual class emerged, critical of the status quo and establishing bookshops to disseminate propaganda. Educated individuals, influenced by ideas from universities abroad, began codifying works envisioning societal change, exemplified by Tolo'o's seminal book Soo Sue Pasalia Pstiani "Earth Works and the System Fails," which advocated for worker empowerment through trade unions and direct control of industry.

The early 20th century witnessed further developments in education and activism. In 1895, the establishment of hydroelectric dams, starting with Tuito Liu, marked a shift towards modern infrastructure development. By 1905, an education system was established, leveraging the community networks cultivated by the bookshops of KP ni Mesmiu and supplemented by funding from remittances received from abroad. Additionally, in 1915, the inaugural meeting of the Soo Fa "Earth Congress" in Tuito Fa signaled the consolidation of various workers' unions into a unified platform advocating for equitable resource distribution. Soo Fa's agenda extended beyond local concerns to address global issues, particularly challenging foreign capitalist interests perceived as detrimental to Kuhukli Paka's environment and livelihoods. However, by 1920, growing tensions and dissent manifested in the emergence of militia groups like the Kuhukli Mnuia, reflecting the polarizing effects of rapid societal change and industrialization.

Red Gathering Revolution

The Pumpalam Pnonm "Red Gathering" Revolution unfolded in 1923 against the backdrop of a devastating famine caused by railway mismanagement by Ferrocarriles Caqueles. In response to the crisis, the revolutionary organization Soo Fa established the Kuhukli I'itie food rationing system in 1924, aiming to address food scarcity and initiate the nationalization of agriculture and food production. The following year, in 1925, tensions escalated with a general strike and armed resistance erupting into open conflict. Railway infrastructure became a focal point of contention, as workers, supported by the militia Kuhukli Mnuia, seized control from security guards protecting capitalists. The ensuing clashes resulted in a significant loss of life, with hundreds perishing in the crossfire. However, by the end of 1925, the revolution achieved a crucial victory with the nationalization of the railroad under the administration of Kuhukli Se. Rail service resumed on December 19th, 1925, reconnecting the territory and symbolizing a pivotal moment in the revolutionary struggle and the abolition of private ownership.

Free Wind Movement

Following the Pumpalam Pnonm Revolution, Kuhukli Paka experienced a dynamic cultural and artistic movement known as Amao Mo'e, or "Free Wind," spanning from the 1930s to the 1970s. A hallmark of cultural rejuvenation during the post-revolutionary era in Kuhukli Paka, was defined by the widespread introduction of television, films, and radio shows, all presented in the Huipuia Oe language. This concerted effort to promote linguistic and cultural revitalization extended to literature, with books and comic strips emerging as the primary forms of entertainment throughout the territory. The promotion of Huipuia Oe across various media platforms not only celebrated the linguistic heritage of Kuhukli Paka but also fostered a sense of pride and unity among its people. This vibrant period of creativity was partly spurred by the external pressures of embargoes imposed by neighboring nations in response to the violence of the revolution. The Grisean Therranic Kingdom (GTK) notably enforced stringent border controls to contain anti-monarch sentiments emanating from Kuhukli Paka, contributing to a sense of economic isolation and lack of technological development within the country.

However, by 1970, the geopolitical landscape shifted due to decades of peace, leading to the end of the GTK embargo on March 8th, celebrated as Panka Se ni E "Trade Day." This pivotal event marked a significant turning point for the territory, ushering in a new era of economic opportunities and cultural exchange. The easing of tensions between the two nations paved the way for increased trade and diplomatic relations, fostering a climate of cooperation and mutual benefit.

In the wake of the embargo's end, the 1970s witnessed a transformative period of motorization under the leadership of Aoto Pnonm's Red Car initiative. Private automobile ownership is hindered by strict regulations imposed by Aoto Se. The construction of roads and highways expanded to accommodate increased traffic. However, this newfound mobility also sparked the emergence of the Kuhukli Mo'e Free Kuhukli anti-motorization movement in 1974. Stricter regulations were imposed to mitigate the environmental and social impacts of rampant motorization, leading to the establishment of designated traffic zones and parking facilities aimed at balancing the benefits of modernization with environmental sustainability.

Normalization

In 1996, the nation joined the Antarephian Coalition, a move aimed at standardizing various aspects of life to harmonize with other Harda nations. This initiative facilitated open borders and the adoption of the Antari currency, supplementing the absence of a native currency, where basic needs were met through mutual aid organizations.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the territory witnessed the emergence of the Kuhukli Alaoka movement, advocating for urban gardening and the preservation of green spaces to support traditional animal habitats. These efforts reflected a growing consciousness towards environmental sustainability and the conservation of natural resources. Concurrently, strides were made in education, food rationing, and healthcare, signifying a broader commitment to enhancing social welfare and improving living standards for the populace.

Geography

Main article: Geography of Kuhukli Paka

Kuhukli Paka is characterized by its diverse geography, comprising numerous islands along the entirety of its urbanized coast and multiple valleys extending inland. In the northwest region of the country lies the prominent Elik Volcano, which stands as the highest peak in the area. The western side of Kuhukli Paka is marked by a fault line, contributing to its volcanic nature and geological activity. The climate is influenced by its location and ocean currents. The region benefits from comparatively warm ocean currents originating from the Southern Tropics, resulting in mild summers and cool winters. Rainfall is frequent throughout the year. Native vegetation in Kuhukli Paka consists predominantly of deciduous forests, primarily comprising beech trees. However, in the higher elevations of the mountains, pine trees become more prevalent, adding to the biodiversity of the region's flora.

Climate

The coastal area has a temperate oceanic climate or subtropical highland climate; coldest month averaging above 0 °C (32 °F) (or −3 °C (27 °F)), all months with average temperatures below 22 °C (71.6 °F), and at least four months averaging above 10 °C (50 °F).

Militia

Main article: Militias of Kuhukli Paka

In response to escalating regional tensions before the Red Gathering Revolution, several community associations banded together to form militia units aimed at safeguarding the area and fostering its growth, circa 1915. Despite grappling with issues like lack of experience and scattered leadership, the militias adapted by rotating personnel and embracing democratic principles. Local committees and unions took charge of resource allocation, with a particular emphasis on advancing community projects like the construction of Kuhukli Mnuia militia. The militias' cooperative ethos spurred them to find creative solutions, including resource recycling and innovation, despite setbacks from the loss of key figures. Debates ensued regarding the amalgamation of militias into a unified defense entity, weighing concerns over local autonomy against the necessity for unity. The integration of militias became an unavoidable step, ensuring the continuity of the collaborative ethos that underpinned Kuhukli Mnuia's ongoing development and security.

Infrastructure

Transportation

Roads

Aoto Se is responsible for automobile road maintenance and construction. The Aoto Pnonm program facilitates car-sharing, providing access to vehicles without the need for costly purchases from neighboring countries. While recent years have seen a transition to electric vehicles, gasoline remains the primary fuel source, imported from abroad. Stringent restrictions on cars, including weight, size, and speed limitations, contribute to the success of the Aoto Pnonm program and ensure safety on the roads. El Puo ni Sue oversees non-motorized transportation, including bicycle and footpaths, as well as the maintenance and cleaning of city streets, promoting urban accessibility.

Rail

About 20% of all distance is travelled by train. The Kuhukli Se rail network of around 1,000 km route is also rather dense. The network is focused on passenger rail services and freight. It connects all major cities, with over 100 stations. Trains are frequent, with two trains per hour on lesser lines, two to four trains per hour on average, and up to eight trains an hour on the busiest lines. All train lines are electrified.

Cycling

Cycling is a common mode of transport. Almost as many kilometres are covered by bicycle as by train. The Cahook are estimated to have at least 10 million bicycles, which makes more than one per capita, and multiple times as many as the circa 12,500 motor vehicles on the road. In 2013, the Antarephian Cyclists' Federation ranked the Kuhukli Paka as the most bike-friendly countries in Antarephia. Cycling infrastructure is extensive and connects across the country. All crossing with motorized and rail traffic are controlled. There are large bicycle parking facilities, particularly in city centres and train stations. Hamitikai Pnonm is a program by El Puo ni Sue which is a bicycle-share program. Red bicycles are free for all to use in the country.

Water Transport

Under the direction of the Kuhukli Se transport union, Pantuo Se is tasked with providing ferry services between the mainland and the dozens of islands along the coastline.

Main article: Education in Kuhukli Paka

During the revolutionary period, amidst the tumultuous social upheaval, a unique educational movement took root in Kuhukli Paka. Spearheaded by the union known as Kuhukli Mesmiu, various educational institutions emerged, aiming to foster a progressive and egalitarian approach to learning. This movement encompassed not only traditional academic pursuits but also embraced broader societal needs, including childcare, basic education, research, and vocational training.

Under the umbrella of Kuhukli Mesmiu, a diverse array of educational programs were established. At the forefront was Epi Mesmiu, dedicated to the holistic development of infants and toddlers through comprehensive childcare and play-centered programs. Ele Sumo is the cornerstone of basic general education, catering to the majority of individuals. 90% of individuals attend Ele Sumo with 84% attending for at least 4 years. Here, a curriculum emphasizing critical thinking, creativity, and community values sought to empower learners from all backgrounds. Building upon Ele Sumo's foundation, Mpao Li emerged as the bastion of intellectual inquiry and academic exploration, akin to tertiary education internationally. Finally, Uapi Sue provides practical and technical training essential for various careers.

Every town has Epi Mesmiu and Ele Sumo. Larger cities and towns have Mpao Li and Uapi Se institutions.

The education systems faces several challenges, including an overwhelming influx of international applicants for the medical programs hosted by Uapi Sue and the healthcare union Kuhukli Nanailo. With a surge of aspiring medical professionals seeking training opportunities, competition for limited spots has intensified, straining resources and faculty capacities. This issue has led to concerns over equitable access to education and the need for systemic reforms to address the imbalance. Additionally, logistical constraints and access to medical supplies further exacerbate the situation, highlighting the complexities inherent in maintaining a sustainable and inclusive educational framework amidst growing demands. Prerequisites have been imposed on many programs to address the bottlenecks to access.
