Chenes, officially the Republic of Chenes is a sovereign nation located in Norumbia. It borders Moxaney and Awasan to the north, Mniohuta to the west and Gristol-Serkonos to the south. It is bordered in the east by the North Thalassan Sea. Ville de Augusta is the capital of Chenes with Piscataquis serving as the largest city and Penobscot as the declared cultural center of the country. Approximately 19.7 million people inhabit Chenes, with the majority identifying as Chênique.

Before the Landing of Augusta by Audonic settlers, modern-day Chenes was inhabited by two major factions: The Alnobak Nation and the Tsalagi Confederation. The Alnobak and Tsalagi did not make a single unified entity but rather large confederations that were politically and culturally dominated, often going into proxy wars with each other. This changed upon the landing of the Audonic Settlers in the Landing of Augusta. The Audonic settlers were initially welcomed and treated with hospitality by the Alnobak Nation. Consequently, the Audonic settlers were rejected and treated with hostility by the Tsalagi.

Initially a landing by various unaffiliated merchants, trademen and civilians, the Audonic settlers began to create trading posts. The most major of these was Ville de Augusta, which served as a central location for all Audonic settlers and a trading hub for Audonic settlers and members of the Alnobak nation.

Etymology

The term Chêne comes from the Audonic word for oak tree. The land that the Tsalagi inhabited were dominated particularily by white oak trees, which the new Audonic settlers named the land after. The Alnôbak, one of the major tribes in the area concentrated in the east translated this name to Wachilmezi which remains their official name for the country. The Tsalagi, the dominant tribe in the west rendered the name as ᎠᏓᏯᎯᎢᎾᎨᎢ (Adayahi Inagei)

The term Chênique was initially proposed during the Augusta Convention in 1813, but was rejected in favor of pionnièrs/pionnières. Audonic settlers and their descendents were self-referred to as pionnièrs/pionnières until the Penobscot Mercantile Revolution, a cultural and societal revolution that sought for the integration of the Tsalagi and the descendants of the Audonic settlers in 1823. The Chenique are called ᎠᏂᏓᎨᎢ ᎠᏂᏴᏫ (anidagei aniyvwi) by the Tsalagi.

History

Main article: History of Chenes

Pre-Audonic History

This section will serve to explain history of the Tsalagi before the introduction of the Audonic settlers. The general area this takes place is West Chenes with potential involvement of neighbors. Alongside this is a primary focus on the expansion of Tsalagi and their existence during the expansion of Chenes.

Audonic Colonization

This section will serve to explain history of the Audonics, a brief summary of their actions before leaving Belisaria and the afterwards sailing from any of the countries from Belisaria. The general area from there will be in East Chenes, specifically on the East Coast. Much of the colonization will further go into a large center, Ville de Augusta. Afterwards, different trade outposts will be set up along the East Chenes Coast and trading posts along the Sagadahoc network of roads.

Augusta Convention & Penobscot Mercantile Revolution

This section will serve to explain the Augusta Convention and the establishment of East Chenes. The cultural divide between the Sagadahoc-Chenique and the Maskwacis becomes more and more expanded, until the Penobscot Mercantile Revolution which serves to fully unify the Chenique and Sagadahoc as a single nation.

War of Androscoggin-Étienne

This section will serve as a brief explanation of the Maskwacis attack on the Chenes border as a reaction to what they believed to be a cultural invasion that violated the Agreement of Augusta, the only treaty that the Maskwacis, Sagadahoc and Chenique agreed to sign. Eventually the Maskwacis would attend the Penobscot Convention and the Penobscot Agreement as they began to lose different tribes in their alliance. They lost those allies to the Chenique and Sagadahoc during the war, and eventually they agreed to a ceasefire and seceded control and influence over several different eastern and central Tsalagi tribes.

Golden Era of the Merle

This section will serve as an explanation of the era, the Golden Era of the Merle, alternatively the Industrial Revolution.

Asherionic Wars

This section will serve as an explanation of Chenes during the Asherionic Wars and under Asherion's control. Under Asherion's control many of the Abenaki, Creole and Chenique communities suffered from the ordinances that were placed upon them, especially the Chenique.

Reformative Era

This section will serve as an explanation of Chenes in the aftermath of the collapse of Asherion's Empire. Much of Asherion's brief conquest embittered the Chenique and Creole factions who were subject to Asherion's relocation policy on children. Much of the Reformative Era is marked by quickly entering and exiting presidents, often without an election as Chenes attempts to reform their country.

Government & Politics

Administrative Divisions

Chenes is divided into two States, the State of Chenes and the State of Tsalagi.
