'''Chenes''' ({{wpl|French Language|Audonic}}: Chênes), officially the '''Republic of Chenes''' (Audonic: République des Chênes) and referred to by the {{wpl|Cree people|Nehiyawak}} as '''Mâmawinitowin''' ({{wpl|Cree Language|Imowin}}: ᒫᒪᐃᐧᓂᑐᐃᣟᐣ) 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 people|Chênique]].


Chênes as a political entity began upon the settlement of the land by various unaffiliated merchants, tradesmen and people that primarily spoke Audonic that sought to create trading posts and a new living along the Norumbrian Coast. Before the arrival of Audonic settlers, the land was already considered to be under the dominion of various unaffiliated tribes that culturally belonged primarily to the Nehiyawak people. The most dominant of these tribes that persists into their language was the Maskwacis Nehiyawak. When the Audonic settlers arrived in Maskwacis Nehiyawak land, they were initially greeted by the Sagadahoc, a splintered tribe that primarily inhabited the northern area where the Audonic settlers arrived, who would later come to be term themselves as the Chênique.
 
'''Alameda''', formally the '''Republic of Alameda''' ({{wpl|Spanish Language|Alamedan}}: ''Republica del Alameda'') is a sovereign nation located in Norumbia. It borders the countries of [[Rökkurlynd]] and [[Awasin]] to the north, [[Mniohuta]] to the west and [[Gristol-Serkonos]] to the south. Its eastern coastline leads to the North Thalassan Sea. The capital of Alameda is [[Cuidad Augusto]] and the largest city is [[Hortensia]]. Alameda has been historically defined into two [[Grand Divisions of Alameda|Grand Divisions]], [[West Alameda]] and [[East Alameda]]. These two areas are politically, culturally, economically and linguistically distinct. The population of Alameda is approximately 19.7 million people, with around 72% of which live in East Alameda. Alameda is a multi-cultural country, and has four constitutionally recognized constituent groups: [[Alamedines]], [[Chuscos]], Muskogee and Anigiduwagi.  
 
Alameda has been inhabited since the last ice age, with evidence of habitation dating back to 10,000 B.C.E. Alameda is considered to be the homeland of two indigenous Norumbrian groups: the Serkonian Anigiduwagi and the Muscogeans. Both of these groups have settled throughout Alameda, utilizing a tribal system which established two large, influential [[Great Tribes of Alameda|Great Tribes]] and various [[Lesser Tribes of Alameda|Lesser Tribes]]. Since the 15th century, the two Great Tribes of Alameda were the Muscogean Tallapoosa and the Anigiduwagi Qanasi. While hostilities between these two tribes have ended since 1824, the Muscogeans and Anigiduwagi still have various societal and civil issues that have flared up, most notably the [[1975 West Alameda Riots]] and the [[1962 Anigiduwagi Boycott]].  
 
In 1625, the [[Province of the New Frontier]] was chartered and established by the [[Garzan-Latium Norumbrian Company]] with the founding of [[Ciudad Augusto]], originally founded as [[Costa de Augusto]]. New settlers to the colony primarily spoke {{wpl|Spanish Language|Garzan}}, with [[Standard Latin language|Latin]] being used for nomenclature until independence. The new colonial province and its settlers were initially welcomed by the Muscogean tribe of Coosa, which was aligned with the Tallapoosa.


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The term '''Chêne''' comes from the Audonic word for oak tree. The land that the Nehiyawak inhabited were dominated particularily by white oak trees, which the new Audonic settlers named the land after. The Nehiyawak term for the oak tree is '''Mistikominâhtik''' (Imowin: ᒥᐢᑎᑯᒥᓈᐦᑎᐠ), but the term is not used by the native Nehiyawak. The term used is '''Mâmawinitowin''' (Imowin: ᒫᒪᐃᐧᓂᑐᐃᣟᐣ), translated to as Confederation. Within the Augusta Convention, the first establishing document, the Nehiyawak were considered to have unified with the Audonic settlers, now the Chênique, under what was understood to be a ''Confédération''.  
"Alameda" as a name can be traced to the poem, ''[[Niños de Roble]]'' by [[Rosalía Castellanos]] that was published in 1672 in the colony. The name itself derives Castellanos admiration at the Muscogee's complex system of trails and roads that extended throughout East Alameda. During the time, the colonial province was looking for a new name to replace the name New Frontier. Settlers at the time felt that the name New Frontier related closer to the colonial company's identity over the settler's new identity intermingled with the Muscogee.

Alameda, formally the Republic of Alameda (Alamedan: Republica del Alameda) is a sovereign nation located in Norumbia. It borders the countries of Rökkurlynd and Awasin to the north, Mniohuta to the west and Gristol-Serkonos to the south. Its eastern coastline leads to the North Thalassan Sea. The capital of Alameda is Cuidad Augusto and the largest city is Hortensia. Alameda has been historically defined into two Grand Divisions, West Alameda and East Alameda. These two areas are politically, culturally, economically and linguistically distinct. The population of Alameda is approximately 19.7 million people, with around 72% of which live in East Alameda. Alameda is a multi-cultural country, and has four constitutionally recognized constituent groups: Alamedines, Chuscos, Muskogee and Anigiduwagi.

Alameda has been inhabited since the last ice age, with evidence of habitation dating back to 10,000 B.C.E. Alameda is considered to be the homeland of two indigenous Norumbrian groups: the Serkonian Anigiduwagi and the Muscogeans. Both of these groups have settled throughout Alameda, utilizing a tribal system which established two large, influential Great Tribes and various Lesser Tribes. Since the 15th century, the two Great Tribes of Alameda were the Muscogean Tallapoosa and the Anigiduwagi Qanasi. While hostilities between these two tribes have ended since 1824, the Muscogeans and Anigiduwagi still have various societal and civil issues that have flared up, most notably the 1975 West Alameda Riots and the 1962 Anigiduwagi Boycott.

In 1625, the Province of the New Frontier was chartered and established by the Garzan-Latium Norumbrian Company with the founding of Ciudad Augusto, originally founded as Costa de Augusto.
