The Confederation of Motuasima (Confederation of Islands of Salt; Motuwi: Fa'apotopotoga o Motuasima ) was an island nation in the Magna Sea during Classical Antiquity. It was founded when then-Chieftain Keoni I diplomatically went to tribes on the surrounding islands to form a Confederacy to help better protect them from pirates and other states trying to exert their power over the islands. It was at the signing of the Stone Tablet of Tali'a that all the chieftains gathered to sign into the Confederation, ruled by Keoni I of the Sisili Tribe. It was a naval supremacy of the Magna Sea that got them into power.
Background History
After the arrival of the Motui in ~1100BGD/~1600BR, they had started to build a civilization around the Crescent Islands. Houses were built on stilts to allow for more land usage that was already small to begin with. Due to the coastal lifestyle, fishing had become a main trade for the people, with rival clans fighting for fishing breeding grounds. The tribes had built small ships that could withstand the turbulent waters that surrounded the islands, making them great seafarers in the region. They had developed a language that used symbols to communicate with. This is one of the earliest recorded use of languages in the Magna region. There is some archeological evidence of stone spearheads on the Centre-West coast of Pythia near current-day [Pythia Nation]. This suggests that the Motui peoples had sailed across the Ocean and reached Pythia before anyone in Ilus knew about the Continent.
Tribal Wars
With the Motui peoples occupying small islands in the Crescent Islands, resources were in very low quantities. The low abundance of resources created a culture of frugalness and resourcefulness. The only natural materials that were abundant were wood and stone. With this, tribes on the islands fought for resources and to have control of their island's resources. This was a period known as Puna'oa Wars, which were small wars fought over resource and lasted from ~450BGD-322BGD, with the bloodiest period around 332-322BGD. The wars divided the islands from their shared identity, and caused a rift between the culture as subcultures. Each Island had their own subculture, with the Matu, Fa'ailoga, Ax, & Solofanua.
