'''Zacapican''', formally the '''United Republics of Zacapican''' ({{wp|Nahuatl}}: ''Cepancayotl inic Tlacatlatocayome Zacapican'' or '''CTZ'''), is a {{wp|Federation}} of {{wp|Peasant republic|Peasant Republics}} located on the southern terminus of [[Ajax#Oxidentale|Oxidentale]], bordering [[Kayahallpa]] and [[Yadokawona]] to the north, the Makrian ocean to the west, the Amictlan ocean to the south and the Ooreqapi ocean to the east. The Federation is comprised of 37 Tlayacatl state level sub-divisions, of which 31 are constituent Republics, 4 are autonomous Totecuacan metropolitan areas and a further 2 are Federal territories. Zacapine government on both the state and federal level takes the form of a hybrid {{wp|Republic|Republican}} {{wp|Tlatoani|Tlatoanate}}, in which executive authority is divided between the elected assemblies of the people and a judicial caste of the Speaker or ''Tlatoani''. At the national level, the Great Speaker serves as the head of state, with authority over the judicial system and a consultative role in approving legislature, while the Chief Secretary is the head of government and chief of the {{wp|Cabinet (government)|cabinet}} closely tied to the national {{wp|Parliament|parliamentary}} Necentlatiloyan assembly. While Zacapican is a majority {{wp|Nahuas|Nahua}} nation, significant minority groups inhabit the mountainous interior of the country which are incorporated into Zacapican through the long standing tradition of minority suffrage as well as pervasive {{wp|Religious nationalism|religious}} and {{wp|civic nationalism}}.
Modern Zacapican is shaped by a fusion of its ancient indigeonous traditions of land use, law and governance and the momentous developments of its early modern history that saw a series of revolutionary upheavals and challenges to these old ways that led to conflict and eventually resolution and synethsis of old and new ideas. This was known as the Yancuiliztli period, the Age of Novelties of the 18th century, which saw a period of prolonged conflict between social classes in Zacapican as their roles and standing in society rapidly shifted, culminating in the [[Zacapine Revolution]] which was a protacted civil war ending in 1777 with the foundation of the CTZ to govern Zacapican. This revolutionary struggle saw an alliance between elements of the old nobility of the traditional Zacapine empire and the peasantry and commonfolk against the landowning merchant class whose rise to prominence defined and precipitated many of the social changes of the Yancuiliztli period. The aristocracy sought to defeat the upstart merchant elite which had displaced them as the leading caste of society, while the peasantry wished to redress the process of {{wp|enclosure}} and privatization of the {{wp|Common land|commons}}. As a result of the defeat of the merchant elite in this struggle, the aristocracy regained leadership of the country while the land was reorganized under the system of common ownership known as the [[Calpolli system]]. Over time, Zacapican under the CTZ developed a system of {{wp|mass democracy}} in which the populace gave risen to control executive and legislative power across the country while the institutions of the Tlatoanate were reformed into a judicial organ.
The socioeconomic system of Zacapican is based on state ownership and {{wp|Usufruct|usufruct rights}} laid out in the Calpolli system re-established by the revolution. Under this system, all land within the country belongs to the state, while the local {{wp|calpolli|ward or town entity}} manages its use and acts as a common holding entity for economic activities carried out by its residents. The same calpolli unit forms the basis of direct democratic rule at the local scale, as families of the calpolli hold formal dominion over the political and economic entity of the calpolli in common with the other families, granting them democratic power over all political and economic decisions made by the calpolli and its administrative staff. These calpolli workers and economic entities form the backbone of the economy, acting either as individual entities or doing buisness with one another as a group of several calpolli operating together. Although Zacapican operates under a regulated market system, key features of its calpolli-based economy such as democracy in the workplace and collective worker ownership of economic assets relate Zacapican closely to the {{wp|socialism|socialist}} and {{wp|syndicalist}} economies around the world. It is largely for this reason that Zacapican is traditionally aligned with many leftist regimes and with the [[Kiso pact]].
The Zacapine economy centers around a developed {{wp|secondary sector}} of processing, manufacturing and engineering as well as a significant {{wp|primary sector of the economy|primary sector}} represented by widespread agriculture and a limited extraction sector based on iron and coal production. The primary sector of the Zacapine economy is focused primarily on domestic markets for food, products such as biodiesel and sunflower oil, and the intensive demand for steel from the manufacturing sector. Zacapican is a world leader in {{wp|nuclear technology}}, and exports ships, naval and military technology as well as a wide array of industrial machines across the world. Internationally, Zacapican maintaigns good relations with powerful nations of varying political leanings such as [[Pulau Keramat]], [[Latium]] and [[North Ottonia]] while persuing a polcy of detente with its traditional adversary [[Sante Reze]]. While in the past Zacapine influence around the world has been relatively limited to regions of the Ooreqapi ocean as part of its competition for regional dominance with Sante Reze, modern times have seen the broadening of Zacapican's international horizons as the nation has become involved in conflicts and alliances across the world, illustrated by its involvement in the [[Enyaman Civil War]] and establishment of a military base within its Norumbian ally [[Wazheganon]].
==Etymology==
The common name ''Zacapican'' is derived from the nahuatl ''zacapi'', itself a truncated form of ''zacapiliztli'' meaning to harvest or collect grasses, maize or other crops, along with the suffix -''can''. Thus together Zacapican can be translated as "place where the grass is harvested", a term which may have been assigned to the area in which the ancient migratory nahuas settled as they are believed to have imported sedentary agriculture to the region. Historians believe this name was originally ascribed specifically to the [[Zacaco]] grassland region in which the nahuas originally settled, stretching across what is now central and eastern Zacapican, and was only later ascribed to the broader nahua empire which grew to dominate the southern cone of Oxidentale but was always based in the Zacaco plains.
''Cepancayotl inic Tlacatlatocayome Zacapican'' is the formal name of the current government and translates directly as "union for people's states of Zacapican", but can be more faithfully translated as the United Republics of Zacapican. The country was once known as ''Zacapitlatocayopan'', roughly breaking down into "dominion of the zacapines", or more flexibly "Zacapine Empire", and was used to refer especially to the Zacapine government in the Tlanepantla Period known in historiography as the Middle Empire.
==History==
==Geography==
Occupying the southern end of the continent of Oxidentale, Zacapican covers 1,845,600 square kilometers (712,600 square miles) across the southern cone, not including outlying island territories. The geography and climate of Zacapican is defined by two factors working in concert. First, the country is bisected from north to south by a range of mountains and hills known as the Greater Mixtepemec, the southern extension of the trans-Oxidentale mountain ranges found in [[Kayahallpa]] and as far north as the [[Mutul]]. Second, the Makrian ocean to the west, Amictlan ocean to the south, and the Ooreqapi ocean to the east, all of which shape the climate and biosphere of Zacapican through their currents and weather patterns.
==Government==
===Administrative Divisions===
There are a total of 37 federal subjects that together make up Zacapican. These subdivisions are of the Tlayacatl tier, which is the intermediate division that serves as an administrative transitional unit between the federal government and the local level of government made up of Altepetl and Calpolli entities. Every Tlayacatl has a state Speaker whose seat of government is the Altepenayotl, or principla city, of the Tlayacatl, all of whom are considered to be of equal rank regardless of the size or political relevance of the subdivision. In addition, each Tlayacatl has its own unicameral legislature known as the Tlayacahuaque, while the attached executive's title and powers vary depending on the type of Tlayacatl. The vast majority of the Tlayacatls are the constituent Republic ({{wp|Nahuatl}}: ''Tlacatlatocayotl'') type of subdivision, being the type of division with the greatest amount of autonomy within the federal system, totalling 31 of the 37 federal subjects. Four further subjects are the Totecuacan type autonomous metropolian zone type of subdivision. These are [[Tequitinitlan]], [[Tecolotlan]], [[Tzopilopan]] and [[Tula]], each exceeding four million citizens. The Totecuacan has only one altepetl government, that of the altepenayotl, along with the outlying ''altepemame'', the outlying hamlets, towns and villages surrounding the city, and generally encompass the full region of the principal city's agglomeration. The only subjects not governed as a Totecuacan or a Tlacatlatocayotl are the outlying territories, which are remote island possesions removed from the mainland of Zacapican. They are generally small in both territory and population and have great economic dependency on the mainland, making them unsuitable for autonomous local government and as a result they have the lowest degree of autonomy of all federal subjects, having only a local Tlayacahuaque to oversee legal matters and the administration of the territory, while the associated executive position is often appointed directly by federal authorities.
