The '''Chulo Empire''' was an ancient thalassocratic state located in the Meteorolan archipelago of southern [[Europa (continent)|Europa]] on [[Eurth]]. The earliest datable references to the Chulo are inscriptions from the 5th century BCE. According to historic tradition, the Chulo nation comprised the region that includes the modern-day countries of [[Ayubi]], [[Bainbridge Islands]] and [[Damak Var]]. The Chulese excelled in maritime trade, extending their influence overseas to [[Azania]]n and [[Orient]]al Europa. In nearby [[Memopotamia]] the Chulo was referred to as Al-Cahuete.

The Chulo Empire was an ancient thalassocratic state located in the Meteorolan archipelago of southern Europa on Eurth. The earliest datable references to the Chulo are inscriptions from the 5th century BCE. According to historic tradition, the Chulo nation comprised the region that includes the modern-day countries of Ayubi, Bainbridge Islands and Damak Var. The Chulese excelled in maritime trade, extending their influence overseas to Azanian and Oriental Europa. Early inscriptions found in nearby Memopotamia show the Chulo was referred to as Al-Cahuete.

Geography

The Chulese archipelago was located off the southern coast of Europa, where they inhabited several large and small islands. The capital city of Pa'pi was located on the largest island, in what is now Damak Var. Its deepwater port made it an excellent way to export the metals and minerals mined on the island's interior. The national economy largely rested on trade between the various islands, though there was also some trade with the Europan mainland. Other cities were scattered among the islands, notably Puʻupuʻu, Lalo Ka‘puaʻa, Kuhi Dew, Puʻuwai Lewa, Laau Makani and Kambanu in Safiloa.[1]

History

Early period

Stone trilithon of Makani Pāhili marked meeting places for the Council of the Isles.

(WIP. Mythical figure of Hurricane Eric. Translate the etymology for Eric into Hawaiian.[2] Going even further back in time, we can reference our own version of the mythical Laputa/Lapita culture, tied into the first Azanian migrations.)

The Chulese had the ability to navigate the open seas and were the first peoples to regularly send fishing boats along the coastlines. They were the first true masters of the sea in human history. Or, more accurate: they were the first true masters of the sea in human history that we know of. A much earlier example of seamanship would be the Marenesian expansion. This was a centuries-long process carried out by numerous groups. But these were not a united, centralised civilisation like the Chulese.[3]

First discovered by the mainlanders from nearby Memopotamia in Azania. Long before they knew of each other, the people of the isolated islands, very much believed in nature, and most of all, the weather. The islands' discovery began a chain of events that led each island to learn from its neighbours. The understanding that they were no longer alone began a series of cultural exchanges that blended together and eventually made each island's people indistinguishable from another.
