Wetumka, officially the Republic of Wetumka (Hyacinthean: République de Ouétouque) is a sovereign state in Elia Borealis. It is bordered by the North Medan Ocean to the south, Free States and Kahneska to the east and X to the north. Dulac is the capital of Wetumka and is also the country's largest city. Wetumka covers a land area of 322,392 km2 (124,476 sq mi), making it the third-largest sovereign state by area in mainland Elia Borealis, following the Free States and Kahneska. It is also the third most populous sovereign state on the continent. Hyacinthean is the official language, though a significant portion of the population is bilingual, speaking both Hyacinthean and indigenous languages.
The earliest well-dated evidence of human habitation in Wetumka traces to around 9500 BC with the first documented Elians. By 800 AD, the mound-building Okoloman culture dominated the region, establishing trade networks from the Empire Coast to modern-day Josephinia. This civilization was already declining when Calesian explorers arrived. Laurentin Laurent founded the first colony, Dulac, at the eastern peninsula’s tip, while inland regions remained largely unsettled. By the 17th century, Hyacinthean immigrants concentrated along the southern coast. In 1778, the Colony of Wetumka joined the Elian Wars of Independence as Hyacinthean settlers, wary of instability in continental Hyacinthe, sought independence. The colony joined the Grand Federation in 1790. Natives and settlers coexisted until the gold rushes of 1812. From that point on, aggressive settlement inland in the 19th century led to violent upheaval with the !Choctaws and !Muscogees, who launched the First Rebellion in 1843.
By the 1880s, calls for autonomy in Wetumka intensified, culminating in the Elian Civil War. On January 2, 1890, Governor Geoffroy Cochet declared independence with native support against the Federal government. Free States gave up their claims on Wetumka in 1895 after losing the strategically important Battle of the Verret River and pushed out of the province. Ruling as an autocrat until 1916, Cochet was succeeded by General Barthélemy Boffrand, initiating decades of military control, interrupted briefly by civilian rule from 1922 to 1925. Under the juntas, segregation and discrimination against natives was widespread and encouraged by the government. By 1950, economic collapse following the cotton industry’s decline and unpopularity of Gérôme Colbert led to the Carnival Revolution. Protestors overthrew Colbert, who fled abroad. Free elections were held, the constitution was amended for native rights and the country supported Kahneska during the Elian Border Wars under President Jean-Luc Leclerc. Corruption remains a major problem. In the 21th century, three presidents have been jailed for corruption.
