==History==
[[Mihi Mai Ra]] was one of the last places discovered by man, the [[Karwaha]] was discovered by the {{wp|Maori people|Araterans}} between 1000 and 1200. The [[Turu]] archipelago was discovered even later in the 1400s. The {{wp|Maori people|Araterans}} in [[Karawaha]] lived life in {{wp|Kainga|Kainga}} in societal units called [[hapu]]. {wp|Maori people|Arateran}} political structure centred around the {{wp|chieftain|Ratinga}} of a given {{wp|Kainga|Kainga}}. {{wp|Kainga|Kainga}} were inhabited year-round instead [[hapu]] used land in cycles immigrating to new areas. Population growth, defeat in battle or the death of a {{wp|chieftain|Ratinga}} were all reasons for why a [[hapu]] would choose to go look for new lands. This life-style coupled with population growth led many {{wp|Maori people|Araterans}} to leave [[Karawaha]] for [[Valentir]] in the 1200s and later for [[Turu]] in the 1400s.
 
The three archipelagos of Mihi Mai Ra were settled relatively late in the 11th century by the [[wikipedia:Maori people|Arateran people]] who were sea fairers arriving with [[wikipedia:waka|waka]] (canoes). Early Mihi Mai Ra society was scattered with most political power and authority being held by local village Chieftains called [[wikipedia:chieftain|Rangatiras]]. The early [[wikipedia:Maori people|Araterans]] lived in villages called [[wikipedia:Kainga|Kainga]] in migrating communities called [[hapu]]. [[wikipedia:Kainga|Kainga]] were non-permanent settlements built next to garden plots that were left to fallow for several decades after two to three years of use. In [[wikipedia:Maori people|Arateran]] society, one could not own land instead each [[hapu]] had rights to travel through and use certain lands which overlapped and entwined with the rights of other [[hapu]] which was a major source of conflict. Resettling and even moving to entirely new lands was a part of everyday life which could've been done for several reasons such as defeat in battle or population increase. In the early 12th century many [[wikipedia:Maori people|Araterans]] began migrating to [[Valentir]] as a result of large population increases in [[Karawaha]].
 
In 1629, the first [[Eclea|Eucleans]] arrived in [[Karawaha]]. The Euclean settlers did not understand the [[wikipedia:Maori people|Arateran]] way of settling the landscape in cycles and simply thought that land not occupied was available for settling. Despite this, initial contact with the [[wikipedia:Maori people|Araterans]] was mostly peaceful. The slowly increasing number of Euclian settlers sturred many land conflicts between the natives and settlers which led to the defeat of [[Kahimeka I|He Mihi Rangatira Nui O Kahimeka]] against the [[Gaullia|Gaullicans]]. This prompted him to begin the [[Whawhai O Te Kahimeka]] (''wars of Kahimeka'') in order to unify the [[wikipedia:Maori people|Araterans]] living in [[Karawaha]]. To this end, [[Kahimeka I|He Mihi Rangatira Nui O Kahimeka]] received assistance from [[Estmere]] who wished to undermine [[Gaullia|Gaullican]] influence in [[Karawaha]]. As a result, [[He Mihi Rangatira Nui O Kahimeka]] unified [[Karawaha]] with western weapons and tactics forming the centralised [[Te Kingitara Mihi Nui]] (''The Great Repentant kingdom'') with himself as the monarch after which he signed the [[Te Kirimana]] which gave [[Estmere]] power over foreign policy effectively making [[Te Kingitara Mihi Nui]] an [[Estmere]] [[wikipedia:protectorate|protectorate]].
 
Following the creation of [[Te Kingitara Mihi Nui]], [[Kahimeka I]] initiated the [[Huringa]] (''change'') where many [[wikipedia:Maori people|Araterans]] were expected to adopt a more western lifestyle thusly ending the centuries-old tradition of moving through the landscape in cycles. [[Kahimeka I]] adopted the [[wikipedia:roman alphabet| Solarian alphabet]] and western legal traditions among other things. The [[Huringa]] was so great in its effect that people of the [[Te Kingitara Mihi Nui]] began calling themselves ''[[Wikipedia:Cook Islander People|Mihi]]'' and their language {{wp|Maori language|To Tatou Reo}}. However, despite the Huringa, many old traditions remained in place with minor changes. For example, the [[wikipedia:chieftain|Rangatiras]] became municipal leaders. The [[Te Kingitara Mihi Nui]] gave the Mihite culture and language a say in political affairs, yet it was throughout all its existence caught between the battle of influence between [[Gaullica]] and [[Estmere]]. Both powers corroded Mihite authority to the point wherein the later years of the kingdom, all ministers and other important political positions were nominated by either [[Gaullica]] or [[Estmere]]. However, the two sides were often engaged in politics against one another which allowed much of Mihite society to remain relatively unscathed.
 
In the final years of [[Te Kingitara Mihi Nui]], [[Valentir|Valentirian]] desire for independence became greater which intimidated many of the [[Gaullica|Gaullicans]] and [[Estmere|Estmerish]] as [[Te Kingitara Mihi Nui]] was technically an independent kingdom and [[Valentir|Valentirian]] calls for federation could've included it in them. This sparked agreement between the [[Gaullica|Gaullicans]] and [[Estmere|Estmerish]] populace to overthrow the monarchy and become a dominion of [[Estmere]]. In 1910, 2 years before [[Valentir|Valentirian]] Independence was declared, [[Te Kingitara Mihi Nui]] officially became [[the Dominion of the Coconut Islands]] with the two archipelagos of [[the Sawo]] and [[the Turu]] being added to its territories. This move greatly angered the [[Wikipedia:Cook Islander People|Mihite]] populace as it signalled an end to the [[Kahimeka dynasty]] which was the only [[Wikipedia:Cook Islander People|Mihite]] position of power.
 
In the 1920s following the Great War, the position of many [[Gaullica|Gaullican]] and [[Estmere|Estmerish]] political elite were weakened, and many positions became filled by [[Wikipedia:Cook Islander People|Mihites]] as a result of greater democratisation. These [[Wikipedia:Cook Islander People|Mihite]] Politicians started to call for the [[Wahakahokia]] or ''return'' where the restoration of the [[Kahimeka dynasty]] would happen alongside an overall [[Mihitization]] of the country. Although most politicians calling for the [[Wahakahokia]] didn't have antagonistic views of the [[Gaullica|Gaullicans]] and [[Estmere|Estmerish]], there existed some at the fringes calling for total national rebirth where all 'foreigners' were to be exiled despite over 43% of the population at the time being of foreign ancestry. In 1937, the [[Ko Te Hononga Mo Te Whakahokinga Mai Parati]] won a landslide victory and formed a government which officially began to institute the [[Wahakahokia]]. Originally the [[Wahakahokia]] called for all [[wikipedia:Maori people|Araterans]] to join a single [[wikipedia:Maori people|Arateran]] state, however, [[Valentir]] could've stopped the negotiations which is why this claim was dropped from the [[Wahakahokia]]. The [[Gaullica|Gaullicans]] and [[Estmere|Estmerish]] in [[the Dominion of the Coconut Islands| Coconut Islands]] lobbied for the [[Estmere|Estmerish]] government to oppose independence fearing possible future persecution. Eventually, a compromise was reached between the home government and [[Estmere]] where the [[Kahimeka dynasty]] wouldn't be restored and the presidents of [[Gaullica]] and [[Estmere]] would act as co-presidents ([[wikipedia:Maori language|To Tatou Reo]]: ''Koperesideni'') for the [[Mihi Mai Ra|Union of Mihi Mai Ra]] with three official languages: [[wikipedia:Maori language|To Tatou Reo]], [[wikipedia:French language|Gaullican]] and [[wikipedia:English language|Estmerish]]. In exchange, The [[the Dominion of the Coconut Islands| Coconut Islands]] would become the [[Mihi Mai Ra|Union of Mihi Mai Ra]] and the [[Wikipedia:Cook Islander People|Mihi]] would get a limited [[Wahakahokia]] which among other things ensured that the [[Pirima]] (''Premier'') would be of [[Wikipedia:Cook Islander People|Mihi]] descent, the [[wikipedia:Maori language|To Tatou Reo]] language would become the primary language of the country and a new constitution would be ratified which would ensure the existence of a unique [[Wikipedia:Cook Islander People|Mihi]] political system.

The Federation of Mihi Mai Ra (To Tatou Reo: Punaha o Mihi Mai Rā, Le Ganaga: Faiga o Mi'i Mai Laa, Gaullican: Fédération de Mihi Mai Ra), sometimes referred to as the Coconut or Palm Islands, is a small sovereign island nation situated in the Sublustrian sea north of Valentir. Mihi Mai Ra comprises three island archipelagos: Karawaha, Savo and Whuru. Mihite Society originates from the Araterans who settled the Karwaha and Turu archipelagos with influences from Gaullican, Estmerish and Tagatan cultures.It is one of the most geographically isolated countries in kylaris. This geographic isolation has allowed the growth and development of an extremely varied and rich endemic flora and fauna from giant Kauri to the Weta insects as well as the Kaponga and Kiwi with these latter two being national symbols of Mihi Mai Ra.

Mihi Mai Ra was one of the last places discovered by man, the Karwaha was discovered by the Araterans between 1000 and 1200. The Turu archipelago was discovered even later in the 1400s. The Araterans in Karawaha lived life in Kainga in societal units called hapu. {wp|Maori people|Arateran}} political structure centred around the Ratinga of a given Kainga. Kainga were inhabited year-round instead hapu used land in cycles immigrating to new areas. Population growth, defeat in battle or the death of a Ratinga were all reasons for why a hapu would choose to go look for new lands. This life-style coupled with population growth led many Araterans to leave Karawaha for Valentir in the 1200s and later for Turu in the 1400s.
