Human life on the land known today to be The Cape Bay, is estimated to have begun around 40,000-50,000 years ago, making it one of the longest continuously inhabited place in Anteria, however it remains unknown where the orignal people migrated from. Fossil records show that groups had made it across the whole peninsula in only a few centuries before divulging and eventually creating various ethnicities such as [[Tazik]], [[Yoma]], [[Alqiq]] & [[Hazemi]] peoples. | |||
These people lived nomadically until agriculture began and created the first civilisations around 12,000 years ago. Some of the oldest settlements in Anteria were created around this time including [[Terfanmar]],[[Velqil]] & [[Nazarmeix]]. Land across the peninsula was extremely fertile leading to masses of city states forming particularly along the souther coast and [[Nuyulzvar Riverlands]]. | |||
=== Ancient History === | |||
Around 7000BCE, the city of [[Nazarmeix]] and its surroundings towns formed the first know 'nation' in The Cape Bay, albeit a miniature one. The idea spread around and small nations called '[[Ulake]]'s' began to form and build steady diplomacy between each other. These small countries were commonly lead by monarchies leading to the steady tradition of forming smaller local delegations to be sent of to a national parliament, making these societies into sort of proto-democracies. | |||
Meanwhile, Yoma people formed communes in the lands now known as [[Yomkez]] & [[East Yomkez]], leading to further developments and immigration to the north during this time. As that moved forward, Terfanmar & Nazarmeix started to grow into much larger, economically developed cities creating a dichotomy of power between their two kingdoms. The [[Lazvuyur Kingdowm]], with Terfanmar as its capital defeated the opposition in the [[Zazstenki War]], conglomerating into a large empire along the southern coast. This was one of the first large scale documented wars of the ancient period. | |||
[[The Great Raids]] began around 1000BCE, where nomadic mountain peoples such as the [[Alqiq]] began to raid and pillage cities in response to the growing monopoly on trade the coastal conglomerates held. The raids destroyed countless cities and historic buildings as well as books and writings from this time. For this reason the timeline is difficult to piece together due to the amount og literature destroyed. | |||
It is known, however, that great thinkers of the time such as [[Tayulazvakur]] found the destruction of written works and important buildings abhorrent, leading to the widespread condemnation of further conflict once the raiders had been defeated. [[Tayulazvakur]] believed people needed to put down their weapons and take a diplomatic standpoint, which had a heavy influence as seen by the lack of conflicts for the next few centuries. Despite this, tensions fractured empires and returned the lands to city state like entities. | |||
Culture during this ancient period heavily reflected the emphasis on mathematics, art & elitism that was omnipresent in ancient society. Dress sense usually involved heavily complicated accent pieces with complex geometric patters, complementing the mathematical take on architecture, and the meticulous emphasis on artistic proportionalism in ancient art. This culture was unfortunately only available for the wealthy monarchs and lords of the land, who contracted slave labour to build the extravagant palaces and buildings they lived, worked and partied in. | |||

Taking up an area of 854,668 km2 and holding a population of 114 million people The Cape Bay (AKA, The Cape Repulic) is a significant nation in the political sphere. The country is a constitutional republic located on the East Thaudian Peninsula made up of 11 semi-autonomous ‘Territories’ and 1 ‘Metropolitan Capital Area’. This capital area is called Terfanmar and has a population of almost 30 million people, and is also the site of most government offices and the heads of state.

Still, The Cape Bay is still a rising power that will be an even more significant, and able player in years to come if these issues are figured out.
Etymology
The name 'Cape Bay' refers to the bay of which the capital city, Terfanmar, is located. In this bay there is a cape, in the geographical sense, which is what the city is named after. As the knowledge of this land grew the people of Riamo kept the name for their original colony, so the name Cape Bay stuck and now refers to the whole country instead of just the small area in which the name originally referred to.
Language
Tazik and Common are the 2 official widely used languages of the country. Any sign, advertisement, tv show, movie or song would usually been in one or both of these languages. Tazik is a language of the Thuado-Thrismaran language family. Tazik is polysynthetic language and is ranked as a Level 4 difficulty language, making it very confusing for Common speakers for both cultural and linguistic reasons. Tazik has around 120 million speakers world wide and is a mandatory language in most Bayian schools. Common was introduced through Riamese colonisation and has since become another staple language of the nation. It is also a mandatory language but in The Cape Bay it only has around 70 million speakers. One is able to get around in either language but be aware of many other minority languages you may here in the country. Arabic and Cape-Gabrielt are also languages spoken in many parts due to ethnic minorities that arrived through other mean throughout history.
History
Prehistory
Human life on the land known today to be The Cape Bay, is estimated to have begun around 40,000-50,000 years ago, making it one of the longest continuously inhabited place in Anteria, however it remains unknown where the orignal people migrated from. Fossil records show that groups had made it across the whole peninsula in only a few centuries before divulging and eventually creating various ethnicities such as Tazik, Yoma, Alqiq & Hazemi peoples.
These people lived nomadically until agriculture began and created the first civilisations around 12,000 years ago. Some of the oldest settlements in Anteria were created around this time including Terfanmar,Velqil & Nazarmeix. Land across the peninsula was extremely fertile leading to masses of city states forming particularly along the souther coast and Nuyulzvar Riverlands.
Ancient History
Around 7000BCE, the city of Nazarmeix and its surroundings towns formed the first know 'nation' in The Cape Bay, albeit a miniature one. The idea spread around and small nations called 'Ulake's' began to form and build steady diplomacy between each other. These small countries were commonly lead by monarchies leading to the steady tradition of forming smaller local delegations to be sent of to a national parliament, making these societies into sort of proto-democracies.
Meanwhile, Yoma people formed communes in the lands now known as Yomkez & East Yomkez, leading to further developments and immigration to the north during this time. As that moved forward, Terfanmar & Nazarmeix started to grow into much larger, economically developed cities creating a dichotomy of power between their two kingdoms. The Lazvuyur Kingdowm, with Terfanmar as its capital defeated the opposition in the Zazstenki War, conglomerating into a large empire along the southern coast. This was one of the first large scale documented wars of the ancient period.
The Great Raids began around 1000BCE, where nomadic mountain peoples such as the Alqiq began to raid and pillage cities in response to the growing monopoly on trade the coastal conglomerates held. The raids destroyed countless cities and historic buildings as well as books and writings from this time.

Geography
Geographic Features
The Cape Bay lies on the Kasian Peninsula connecting the eastern peninsula to the Thaudian mainland. To the east of the nation lies the Kalamia (کَلَمَٰ) mountains on the border with Gabrielland and Aziallis, and to the west lies the Zakhrevek (زَخرَءًک) mountains on the border with Zaryania. As for interior mountain ranges, there exists the Yuksav (عاکسَء) mountains. The tallest point in the country is Point Bokkat in the center of the nation, being 6724 meters above sea level. The south of the country is geographically very low with the Giakevek (حَٰکًءًک) peninsula facing frequent flood risks in the Madak sea. The Cape Bay meets three prominent bodies of water geographically, the Madak sea to the south, Rie Lake to the east and the Rimidic Ocean to the north, all fof which were vital for the economy and development of the country. The longest river fully within the country is the Kayesekh (کَعًسًخ) river, with a length of 1,038km.
Climate
The climate of The Cape Bay differs quite a bit from north to south but the southern island of Al Siyara experiences a tropical rainforest climate (Af in the Köppen Climate Classification) which is characterised by year round hot temperatures and heavy rainfall. The southern coast has a 'humid subtropical' climate (Cwa) which means long and hot summers and mild winters with no a winter dry season. The north mainland has a Dwa+Dwb climate type experiencing monsoon rains in summer and generally warm or hot summers but cold, harsh winters. The climate of the south makes it a hot tourist destination year round and especially in the winter when the climate is dry and not too cold, and the north is popular for year round trips and winter sports, especially in the mountains.
Government
The Cape bay is a parliamentary democracy. Prime Minister is the head of government as well as the head of government. The nation is classified as a deficient democracy due to instances of censorship and military influence within the government.
The lower house is called the House of Crowns, and representatives are elected via the following process; Citizens in each of the nations 2,000 province vote for a party running locally, then representatives from that province the surrounding provinces that make up the larger region, of which there are 150 classified in the constitution, tally up the votes and the Region Representative (RR) is selected to represent the party and the local community in the house of Crowns. Further than this, Region Representatives will vote for a Territory Governor to be elected into the upper house. The party with the largest amount of seats out of 150 available in the lower house will become the head of government and elect a prime minister internally. This 'PM' will choose the ministers of all permanent and temporary ministries as well as act as the leader of government and the cabinet. The lower house serves to facilitate dialogue between opposing parties and become a space to enact laws and policies that concern the government and its citizens.
The upper house is called the House of Territories, it is made up of 400 seats, determined by the the 12 Territory Governors, the Monarch as well as the Prime Minister and the General of the Royal Military of The Cape Bay. This upper house serves to act in the interests of all of these figures and the people in the territories represented. Decisions must be put through both of these houses before becoming law, unless the Prime Minister executes an 'act of law' which would immediately make said decision law with the approval of a majority of the cabinet.
The current government is run by the Cape Social party, a leftist coalition of parties formed in 2021 to put the Capital party out of power. The right wing parties are currently acting as separate political entities which are likely blocking them from being elected as the ruling party.
