The Tlahtocayotl Tlaca xoxouhcayotl, often shortened to 'Tlajoyotl', was an unrecognised independent state beginning as an anti-colonial slave rebellion in the Eneas Rainforest. An early pioneer of representative constitutional democracy, it was led by slave leader Moyolenolli for most of its existence except for the year of military-rule for most of 1620. It ended following the colonial government's reestablishment of control over the rest of Suroikoia including Vóclaria City in 1633, allowing them to focus all of their forces on the reconquest of the Rainforest. Although early fighting proved successful, a 10:1 numerical advantage for the Arcadians in the Battle of Altepenayotl eventually collapsed the Republic.

Year of Usurpers

Teuixahual Government

The month-long government led by Teuixahual was marked by the Purge of 39 Hielah, resulting in the dissolution of the Assembly of Freemen and the establishment of a conservative government with strong theocratic elements. After extensive attempts at religious reform, it was deposed by a force of the Revolutionary Guard.

Tetzotl Government

The Coup of 21 Moyem was caused by Tecuhtli Tetzotl arresting Teuixahual before proclaiming herself as the new Topilecahua. Immediately she suspended both houses of the Centlataca for so-called 'emergency reasons', assuming complete control of the Revolutionary Army to mobilise a force of 10 thousand to the southern half of Cidade do Ouro to defend against an attempted recapture of the area. It proved successful and allowed for the further capture of the towns of Zádil and San Jumente, which quickly saw all Arcadian residents enslaved and the freeing of slaves.

The houses remained suspended with martial law imposed for two months until the Edict of Peace was imposed, which saw a curfew of 3 hours after sunrise imposed but otherwise greatly reduced mobility restrictions. Moyolenolli was permitted to reenter the republic, and the government was stable until new elections in early November, which saw attempts at massive voter fraud to increase the power of the government. Extensive debate eventually led to the passage of the 18 Moyem Removal Instrument by both chambers, removing Tetzotl from her government positions and placed into the custody of the military.

Return of Moyolenolli

A prominent resident of the country under Tetzotl following her return, she was an outspoken advocate for her removal following the allegations of voter fraud. In a joint session to determine the country's leadership, a near-unanimous vote saw them elect her to serve as the provisional director of the country until a new Topilecahua could be elected in democratic elections. The 7th Year elections held in December saw 83.7% of eligible voters vote for her leadership, formally returning to the position a day later.

Second Moyolenolli Government

Promulgation of constitution

One of her first actions back in the position was the declaration of their intent to codify constitutional law in a governing document. After six months of writing by the Assembly of the Freemen and one week of amendments by the House of Elders, she signed the revolutionary document into law with "thunderous applause" from a crowd of voters in front of the Executive House.

Some features of the constitution include:

• Universal franchise for all above the age of 15
• Equally strong executive and legislative branches with precedence over the judiciary
• Free education until adulthood (described as 15)
