The first recorded human inhabitation of Ehoway comes from approximately 20,000 BCE and spread across modern-day Ehoway and formed unique and semi-advanced societies and cultures such as the Wayuwa state in north-eastern Ehoway. Eurika-Hallanians arrived in the region in the late 15th century and the first permanent colonies were established by [[Tuskval]] which later formed the colony of [[Tuskish Newfoundland]].

The [[1934 Ehowan coup d'état]] overthrew the [[First Republic of Ehoway]] and installed a [[Military rule in Ehoway|military junta]] which lasted until the return of democracy in 1943. The political violence associated with the military junta did little to stabilise the economy which continued its decline until 1954 under the [[Edenryd Protocol]] which introduced economic and social reforms which saw the country enter a period of gradual recovery and stability. The Protocol system governed Ehoway from 1945 until its fall in 1993. Between 1999 and 2012 the country enjoyed a period of prolonged economic growth and success alongside widespread societal change which ended with the [[Redevelopment crash]] of 2012 which left the country suffering from massive amounts of inflation and economic inequality. Since 2016 international observers and reports have claimed Ehoway is undergoing {{wpl|Democratic backsliding|democratic backsliding}} as a result of governmental control of the media and electoral process.

[[File:Theodore Roosevelt 1905 Inauguration-crop.jpg|thumb|right|[[Osvald Lorentzen]] publicly issuing the [[1916 Ehowayan Declaration of Independence]] in front of the [[Erikspalads]]]]
The outbreak of the [[First Continental War (Talamon)|First Continental War]] blindsided the [[Unionist Left Party (Ehoway)|Unionist]] government in [[Nytslot]] who had been negotiating an independent trade policy from [[Kingdom of Hallania|Hallania]]. Upon the outbreak of the war, Ehoway — as a colony of Hallania — joined the [[First Continental War (Talamon)|Quadruple Entente]], although initially the Ehowayan role was primarily limited to [[Newfoundland]] and protecting shipping lanes as the war progressed thousands of Ehowayan soldiers were deployed in [[Messenia]] and were also involved in stabilising the worsening domestic situation in Hallania. In the closing days of the war as the Entente was on the verge of defeat and facing a [[1916 Ehowayan general strike|general strike]] domestically, the Unionist government resigned suddenly. The succeeding government led by [[Osvald Lorentzen]] unilaterally recalled all Ehowayan soldiers from all foreign engagements whilst continuing to swear loyalty to [[Vilhelm II]] and Hallania, although not the incumbent Hallanic government. This position proved untenable and the government issued a [[1916 Ehowayan Declaration of Independence|Unilateral Declaration of Independence]] on New Year's Eve of 1916. The Declaration was deemed illegal by Unionists in the country who now argued for increased autonomy but not total independence, tensions erupted after Unionist Deputies did not attend the inaugural meeting of the [[National Congress (Ehoway)|National Congress of Ehoway]] and the country descended into a brief [[Ehowayan civil war|civil war]] between the Republican government and the Unionists which was settled in February 1917. The [[Treaty of Sekakawon]] the following month granted international recognition to the new Ehowayan government.
*First Continental War, Ehowayan soldiers sent to fight for Hallania
 
*Rise of the anti-war Socialist Party in response to the pro-war policies of both major parties
Immediately after independence Ehoway entered a [[Independence Depression|prolonged period of economic collapse]] due to the loss of trade from Hallania. The Ehowayan economy continued to stagnate for much of its initial post-independence era, the crisis continued to worsen following a brief stabilisation in the 1920s, in July 1932 the crisis peaked as an estimated 4 million people were unemployed and the average income in Ehoway had been halved since 1916 whilst the period of {{wpl|Hyperinflation|hyperinflation}} peaked the following month. In the midst of the crisis the post-independence government collapsed and in the [[1932 Ehowayan general election|subsequent election]] saw the rise of the {{wpl|Far-left politics|far-left}} trade union backed [[Ehowayan Socialist Labor Party|Socialist Labor Party]] and its candidate [[Peter Thalhammer]] who subsequently became [[President of Ehoway|President]]. Thalhammer passed a series of economic, labour and social reforms shortly after taking power designed to stabilise the economy and begin the transition towards a {{wpl|Socialist state|socialist state}}. Unemployment dropped and the economy recovered following these plans although extreme discomfort with Thalhammer's policies was expressed by the military and liberal upper classes, their opposition to Thalhammer was worsened by his perceived closeness to [[Arlyon]]. After the outbreak of the [[Second Continental War]] Ehoway declared neutrality although vocally supported Arlyon. Shortly after the outbreak of the war, anti-war demonstrators who had occupied the lawn outside the National Assembly were forcefully removed by the Nytslot police sparking a chain reaction that culminated in the [[1938 Ehowayan coup d'état]] led by General [[Robert Sztalowski]].
*Hallanic collapse, Proclamation of Autonomy (later the Declaration of Independence when it became clear the metropole was dead)
 
*Independence shock & economic stagnation
Despite initially promising a return to the constitutional norm, Sztalowski and the military backed [[National Directory Government]] grew increasingly {{wpl|Authoritarianism|authoritarian}} and banned many pre-coup political movements and all non-military approved trade unions. Growing authoritarianism combined with the limited nuclear exchange in Messenia and a failed attempt to intervene in the war results in the National Directory Government being [[1942 Ehowayan coup d'état|overthrown in a coup d'état]] supported by the navy, factions of the army and civil society and led by Admiral [[Asmus Bjørn]].
*Socialists locked out of power by a lib-con coalition
 
*election of a left-liberal Presidency
Bjørn and his supporters initially tried reforming the military led government but agreed to hold democratic elections after the [[Supreme Court of Ehoway|Supreme Court]] ruled that military rule was unconstitutional and illegal. Bjørn won the subsequent [[1945 Ehowayan general election|Presidential election]] narrowly and in an effort to secure the democratic system formed an agreement between the three largest parties — [[Social Republican Party (Ehoway)|Social Republican Party]] (SRP), [[Democratic Peoples' Party (Ehoway)|Democratic Peoples' Party]] (DFP) and [[Center-Labor Party]] (CAP) — in Ehoway to share power in a system known as the [[Edenryd Protocol]].

*Bjørn's coup after Sztalowski attempted to intervene in the 2CW
For much of the late 20th century and particularly during the Presidencies of Bjørn (1945—1961) and [[Gåje Settem]] (1969—1985), Ehoway went through a substantial and sustained period of economic and social change and development helped by an era of relative political stability and compromise. The Ehowayan economic recovery in the late 1940s began a large wave of immigration to Ehoway which was encouraged by the loosening of immigration laws in 1951, as a result Ehoway became increasingly multicultural and abandoning its previous Hallanic identity. In the first term of Gåje Settem's Presidency, Ehoway spearheaded economic and political cooperation between the nations in [[Newfoundland]] to promote economic and political development in the region eventually culminating in the establishment of the [[Economic Community of Newfoundland]] (OKOFN) in 1973. Ehoway during this period championed {{wpl|Non-interventionism|non-interventionism}} in foreign affairs and cooperated with various opposing states during the late 20th century.

Relations between Native Newfoundlanders and Ehoway declined during the 1970s and 80s over issues such as continuing de facto segregation between Natives and other groups in Ehoway in some areas and the issue attracted domestic and international responses following the violent [[1975 Nytslot riots|suppression]] of a [[Language Rights Campaign]] demonstration in 1975. In the immediate aftermath of the suppression of the protest native campaigners began organising into self-styled militias whilst the government's initial policy of reconciliation quickly fell through towards suppressing the movement quickly to avoid further international embarrassment. The conflict came to a head in 1978 during the [[Owanjila Dam dispute]] which resulted in the deaths of 5 people (4 activists and 1 soldier), the violent incident and its live broadcast globally quickly turned public opinion against the government and as a result of domestic and international pressure the [[National Committee for Reconciliation and Equality]] was set up on 24 August 1978. In 1982 Native Newfoundlanders were granted significant autonomy and guaranteed representation in the National Assembly and government whilst the government set a legally binding target to reduce inequality between different racial groups.
* Bjørn's populist policies introduced (a la Vargism)
 
* Pago War, end of Bjørn's Presidency and the start of Jeppe Rask's Presidency
After 1981 it was agreed that the capital would move to the planned city of [[Akavik]] and out of [[Nytslot]] to try and promote development in the centre and west of Ehoway. At the same time the Ehowayan economy began to slow down in the 1980s and an era of stagnation began which was worsened in 1987 when the Nytslot stock market crashed unexpectedly following the [[Eruption of Mount Forsyn]] close by to Akavik which stopped air traffic across much of Ehoway for a considerable period and saw upwards of 200,000 people being evacuated. The eruption and its aftermath permanently damaged public faith in the government for relocating to Akavik and saw private investment in the city evaporate overnight.
* Pago Protocol (Votes for territory status over statehood, pardoning of most nationalists)
 
* Edenryd protocol (Power sharing <3 between the Progressives and CAP)
The [[Edenryd Protocol]] collapsed completely in 1993 over growing corruption in the Protocol parties and public dissatisfaction over the direction of the country. [[Emmanuel Holm]] became the first democratically elected President from a non-protocol party in the same year but was [[Impeachment of Emmanuel Holm|impeached in 1995]] after being found guilty of embezzlement.

Media in Ehoway emerged as a unique system compared to media in other countries and remains highly diverse. Ehoway has 3 major national newspapers, [[Ugedagen]] is the most widely circulated newspaper in Ehoway and is seen as being pro-government although refrains from overt partisan endorsements or editorials for the most part. [[Nationen]] also takes a pro-government editorial line although is seen as more overtly partisan and political than Ugedagen whilst the [[Ny Metropolitan]] remains the largest anti-government and pro-opposition newspaper. The Ny Metropolitan has accused the government of censorship over its activities tackling smaller opposition newspapers and attempts at purchasing the paper as it did with Ugedagen in 2019.

Ehoway (Tuskish: Ihøwæ), officially the Republic of Ehoway (Tuskish: Republikken Ihøwæ) is a country in northern Newfoundland covering the island of X and the Leifjord archipelago. Ehoway covers an area of 2,468,246 km2 (952,995 sq mi) making it the Xth largest country in the world and the largest in Newfoundland in terms of population and land area. It is also the xth largest country in the world in terms of land area and the xth largest in terms of population. It shares no land borders with other countries, it is neighboured by the X sea in the north, the X ocean in the east, X and the X sea in the south and X and the X ocean in the west. The country is a unitary state but is divided into 15 semi-autonomous states including the capital Akavik. Alongside these states the country recognises numerous autonomous native nations as special autonomous administrative divisions has relinquished limited amounts of authority over select issues to these nations. The largest city in Ehoway is Nytslot; other important urban areas in Ehoway include Elostrøm, Langstrand, Monsiyok, Ipsen, Sekakawon, Dallhavn, Højbakke, Vojens and Farsø.

The first recorded human inhabitation of Ehoway comes from approximately 20,000 BCE and spread across modern-day Ehoway and formed unique and semi-advanced societies and cultures such as the Wayuwa state in north-eastern Ehoway. Eurika-Hallanians arrived in the region in the late 15th century and the first permanent colonies were established by Tuskval which later formed the colony of Tuskish Newfoundland. TBD colonial history

The 1934 Ehowan coup d'état overthrew the First Republic of Ehoway and installed a military junta which lasted until the return of democracy in 1943 in a period known as the Missing Decade. The political violence associated with the military junta did little to stabilise the economy which continued its decline until 1954 under the Edenryd Protocol which introduced economic and social reforms which saw the country enter a period of gradual recovery and stability. The Protocol system governed Ehoway from 1945 until its fall in 1993. Between 1999 and 2012 the country enjoyed a period of prolonged economic growth and success alongside widespread societal change which ended with the Redevelopment crash of 2012 which left the country suffering from massive amounts of inflation and economic inequality.

Ehoway is considered to be a regional and emerging power in Newfoundland and world affairs. The country has a developing country and the Xth largest GDP in the world and the largest in Newfoundland. It also has a very high Human Development Index score and has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. However the country also suffers from high amounts of income inequality and has one of the highest scores on the gini coefficient, the country also struggles from a high rate of inflation since the redevelopment crash. Ehoway maintains an active and non-interventionary role in foreign affairs and is a member of the X, X, X, X, X, and X.

Mass media

Leifjord locals being interviewed by Hovedlinje in 2019

Media in Ehoway emerged as a unique system compared to media in other countries and remains highly diverse. Ehoway has 3 major national newspapers, Ugedagen is the most widely circulated newspaper in Ehoway and is seen as being pro-government although refrains from overt partisan endorsements or editorials for the most part. Nationen also takes a pro-government editorial line although is seen as more overtly partisan and political than Ugedagen whilst the Ny Metropolitan remains the largest anti-government and pro-opposition newspaper. The Ny Metropolitan has accused the government of censorship over its activities tackling smaller opposition newspapers and attempts at purchasing the paper as it did with Ugedagen in 2019.

Ehoway has numerous TV networks which for the most part are regional broadcasters operating in cooperation with each other. There are X major national networks in Ehoway, TViho is the nation's public broadcaster and was founded in 1944 to provide television services to rural areas. TViho also runs RadioIHO which is the public radio service which was launched in 1932 and subsequently merged with TViho in 2007. Hovedlinje is the largest privately owned broadcaster in Ehoway and remains neutral on political affairs, the most popular domestic daily news show Daybreak is broadcast on Hovedlinje in the mornings. Netværk24 was formed in 2010 between several smaller broadcasters to maximise their audience and revenue and has the most regular viewers in Ehoway, most of its funding comes from regional governments. Other broadcasters of note include TVPulse which broadcasts in !language and the independent opposition leaning Skov broadcaster.

Sports

Korset is the official national sport of Ehoway

Organised modern sporting events were first organised in Ehoway in the 1780s, these first organised events later developed into modern sporting fixtures. Sports culture in Ehoway is unique and distinct from sporting culture in Hallania due to influences from other cultures and groups in Ehoway during the colonial era that influenced Ehowan culture and society in general. Various sports have originated from Ehoway such as Baseball, Basketball and Volleyball all originated from Ehoway during the 19th century and were later popularised globally.

Throughout most of Ehoway's history, Korset has been the most popular sporting event and has been the official national sport of Ehoway since 1965. The National Korset League, also known as Ihokors, is the largest national premier sporting league in Ehoway and Newfoundland which attracts millions of viewers each year. The 2017 Ihokors final set a record for most viewers of a sporting event in Ehoway after it attracted 21.8 million viewers in Ehoway, approximately one-half of the enitre population of Ehoway at the time and many more abroad. The Ehoway men's national korset team has been ranked as the world number 1 team several times and is currently ranked as the number 1 team as of 2020.

The second most popular sport in Ehoway is Kofod which developed during the colonial era which is also sometimes referred to as an official sport although it remains less popular than Korset which has led to a domestic heated rivalry between Kofod and Korest fans. The Unitary Ehowan Kofod League, or UIKL, is the major premier Kofod sporting league in Ehoway and is the second most watched domestic sporting league after Ihokors and routinely brings in millions of viewers during important fixtures. Kofod football remains most popular in Southern Ehoway whilst Korset is most popular in northern and western Ehoway due to influences from indigenous people and regional cultural differences. Other major premier sporting leagues exist in Ehoway to a lesser degree such as the First League for Association football, the Thygesen Championship for Baseball and the FNBD for Basketball all are popular sporting leagues in Ehoway.
