'''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]].


Chenes 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 '''Democratic Republic of Alameda''' ({{wpl|Spanish Language|Alamedan}}: ''República Democrática 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.  


==Etymology==
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 across Alameda, and have since utilized a formal tribal system. This tribal system defined the two large and influential [[Great Tribes of Alameda|Great Tribes]] and the various [[Lesser Tribes of Alameda|Lesser Tribes]] scattered throughout the country. Since the 12th century, the two Great Tribes were the Muscogean Tallapoosa tribe and the Anigiduwagi Qanasi tribe. The political tension has existed and the two have been historical enemies. The last war between the two ended in 1824, after the [[Third Tallapoosa-Qanasi War]], though tensions between the two remains at large, since the [[1975 West Alamedan Riots|1975 West Alamedan Riots]].
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''.  


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 referred to as pionnièrs/pionnières until the [[Penobscot Mercantile Revolution]], a cultural and societal revolution that sought for the integration of the Nehiyawak and the descendants of the Audonic settlers in 1823.
Alameda was one of the few Garzan colonies in Norumbia, founded as the [[Province of New Augusta]] and later reformed as the [[Province of the New Frontier]]. Chartered and established by the [[Western Garzan-Latium Company]], the province was centered at the city of Costa de Augusta. New settlers primarily spoke {{Wpl|Spanish Language|Garzan}}, which eventually became the {{Wpl|lingua franca}}. The new colonial province and its settlers were initially welcomed by the Muscogean tribe of Coosa and would later forge a mutually beneficial alliance with the Tallapoosa. 
==History==
{{Main article|History of Chenes}}


===Pre-Audonic History===
Alameda entered a long period of warfare, known locally as the [[La Liberacion]]. This began when [[Asherionic Occupation of Alameda|Alameda was occupied]] in 1805, and continued for 25 years during the [[Alamedan Wars of Independence]].
This section will serve to explain history of the Nehiyawak 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 Maskwacis Nehiyawak and their existence during the expansion of Chenes.


===Audonic Colonization===
==Etymology==
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 subsequently the union of the Sagadahoc Nehiyawak.
"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.


===Augusta Convention & Penobscot Mercantile Revolution===
==Government==
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.  
The Republic of Alameda and its [[Constitution of Alameda|constitution]] were initially drafted by the [[Alamedine-Muscogee Free Government]] in 1807, and was eventually signed in 1830 at the end of the Independence War. Alameda is a {{wpl|Federal state|Federal}} {{wpl|Presidential system|Presidential}} {{wpl|Republic}} under the constitution. Alameda has was founded and has been governed under the principles of [[Alamedine-Muscogean Concordance]], which dictated much of its early legal principles.
===Military===
{{main_article|Armed Forces of Alameda}}
The Armed Forces of Alameda are administered under civilian control by the [[Department of Defense (Alameda)|Department of Defense]], with chief power to remove the {{wpl|commander-in-chief}} given to the President. The Department of Defense has jurisdiction over the [[Alamedan Army]], the [[Alamedan Navy]] and the [[Alamedan Air Force]]. The [[Department of Public Administration (Alameda)|Department of Public Administration]] has jurisdiction over the [[Carabineros Nacionales de Alameda|National Carabiniers]] and the [[Gendarmeria Nacionales de Alameda|National Gendarmerie]]. Unlike the Department of Defense, the Department of Public Administration can be overruled by the Legislature of Alameda and control over the Carabiniers and Gendarmerie can be transferred to a committee established by the Senate.  


===War of Androscoggin-Étienne===
===Administrative Divisions===
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 Nehiyawak tribes.

Historically, Alameda has stuck out as an odd country within Norumbria for its culture. It is the only country within the entire continent to speak Garzan and one of the few to have promoted the idea of cultural intermingling between Belisarian settlers and the Muscogee natives. After the East Alamedan Annexation of Anigiduwagi lands, the [[Alamedine-Muscogee Renaissance]] occured between 1840 to 1929, which saw the promotion of Alamedine and Muscogee culture in the country.

Alameda, formally the Democratic Republic of Alameda (Alamedan: República Democrática 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 across Alameda, and have since utilized a formal tribal system. This tribal system defined the two large and influential Great Tribes and the various Lesser Tribes scattered throughout the country. Since the 12th century, the two Great Tribes were the Muscogean Tallapoosa tribe and the Anigiduwagi Qanasi tribe. The political tension has existed and the two have been historical enemies. The last war between the two ended in 1824, after the Third Tallapoosa-Qanasi War, though tensions between the two remains at large, since the 1975 West Alamedan Riots.

Alameda was one of the few Garzan colonies in Norumbia, founded as the Province of New Augusta and later reformed as the Province of the New Frontier. Chartered and established by the Western Garzan-Latium Company, the province was centered at the city of Costa de Augusta. New settlers primarily spoke Garzan, which eventually became the lingua franca. The new colonial province and its settlers were initially welcomed by the Muscogean tribe of Coosa and would later forge a mutually beneficial alliance with the Tallapoosa.

Alameda is located on the eastern corridor of Norumbria, abutting the North Thalassan Sea to the east. Alameda shares land borders with Mniohuta to the west across the Osowanon Mountains as well as a small border with Awasin to the northwest; Gristol-Serkonos to the south; and Rökkurlynd to the north.
