| | The '''Sanseiryoku Kinkou''' ({{wp|Japanese language|Senrian}}: hangul, ''san-seiryoku kinkou''; {{wp|Kanji|Gyoumon}}: kanji), literally "three-power balance", is a term used to refer to the {{wp|balance of power}} between [[Isao Isiyama]], [[Katurou Imahara]], and [[Sigeru Hasegawa]] - and the various governmental, quasi-governmental, and political entities administered by or aligned with them - during the period between the end of the [[Senrian Revolution]] in 1923 and the start of the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] in 1927. |

| '''Medasteria''' ({{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''Medastérie''; {{wp|Portuguese language|Luzelese}}: ''Medastéria''; {{wp|Italian language|Vespasian}}: ''Medasteria''; {{wp|Lithuanian language|Ruttish}}: ''Medasterija''; {{wp|Swedish language|Blostlandic}}: ''Medästeria''; {{wp|Afrikaans language|Asteriaans}}: ''Medasterië''; {{wp|Ukrainian language|Soravian}}: ''Медастерія'') is a {{wp|geographical region}} consisting of the regions of the [[Asterias|Asterian continents]] along the coast of the [[Arucian Sea]] and the islands within the Arucian, most commonly invoked as a {{wp|historical region}} consisting of the civilizations which existed in the area before the [[Assim Asteris|discovery of the Asterias]] and the arrival of [[Euclea|Euclean]] explorers and settlers in the late 15th and 16th centuries. Today, Medasteria occupies portions of [[Eldmark]], [[Ardesia]], [[Vinalia]], [[Gapolania]], [[Adamantina]], [[Satucin]], [[Aucuria]], and [[Nuvania]], as well as the entirety of [[Sainte-Chloé]], [[Carucere]], [[Imagua|Imagua and the Assimas]], [[Bonaventure]], and [[Île d'Émeraude]]. | |

| Medasteria is home to two of the [[Kylaris|world]]'s true [[User:Ruridova/Sandbox8|cradles of civilization]], where sedentary civilized society emerged independently: [[History of Aucuria#Pre-Cutinsuan Aucuria|pre-Assimian]] [[Aucuria]], and [[Tonatihcan]] in modern-day [[Ardesia]] and [[Vinalia]]. Key advancements include the domestication of {{wp|Maize}}, including the use of the {{wp|Three_Sisters_(agriculture)|Three sisters}}, {{wp|Potato}}, {{wp|Tomato}}, {{wp|Theobroma_cacao|Cacao}}, {{wp|Chili pepper}}, {{wp|Tobacco}}, {{wp|Alpaca}}, {{wp|Llama}}, {{wp|Guinea Pig}}. Innovations include Tonatihcan {{wp|Mesoamerican calendars|calendars}}, {{wp|Mesoamerican_pyramids|pyramids}}, {{wp|Quipu}}, the {{wp|Zero}}, {{wp|Metallurgy_in_pre-Columbian_America|Metallurgy}}, among others. Items of {{wp|Aztec peoples|Zapoyan}} origin have been discovered in modern Aucuria, while [[Cutinsua]]n items have been identified in modern Île d'Émeraude

| [pre-contact history in broad strokes; ''plants and animals domesticated'', cultural features, ''innovations'', etc - probably worth playing up the extent of trans-arucian trade and influence to demonstrate that this is one cohesive unit] | | The Sanseiryoku Kinkou ended with the proclamation of the [[Government of National Preservation]], headed by Imahara and established with the explicit agreement of Isiyama & tacit consent of Hasegawa, in response to the [[Senrian Front|Shangean invasion of Senria]] during the Great War. Through the Government of National Preservation, Imahara was able to centralize power in himself and his allies, marginalizing Isiyama and Hasegawa politically and paving the way for Aikokutou dominance following the war. |

| Medasteria literally means "in the middle of the Asterias", from the combination of the {{wp|Latin language|Solarian}} ''medius'' ("middle") and the word "[[Asterias|Asteria]]", derived from the name of {{wp|Arab|Rahelian}} explorer [[Assim Asteris]]. [when and how is the term coined?]

| | |
| [agriculture and agricultural innovations - floating gardens in tonatihcan, terraced farms in the vaskaranas, terre noire, etc.]
| |
| | |
| Several species of plants were domesticated in one or more parts of Medasteria:
| |
| * {{wp|Maize}}, {{wp|cacao}}, {{wp|Tomato|tomatoes}}, {{wp|Avocado|avocadoes}}, {{wp|Squash (fruit)|squashes}}, {{wp|jicama}}, {{wp|Brosimum alicastrum|breadnut}}, {{wp|Pouteria sapota|mamey sapote}}, and {{wp|vanilla}} were domesticated in Tonatihcan, as was the non-food crop {{wp|cotton}};
| |
| * {{wp|Potato|Potatoes}}, {{wp|cassava}}, {{wp|quinoa}}, {{wp|oca}}, {{wp|Tropaeolum tuberosum|mashua}}, {{wp|ullucu}}, {{wp|Pouteria lucuma|lucuma}}, {{wp|Inga feuilleei|pacay}}, and {{wp|coca}} were domesticated in the [[Vaskaranas Mountains|Vaskaranan]] region of contemporary [[Aucuria]];
| |
| * Different species or cultivars of the {{wp|Phaseolus vulgaris|common bean}} and {{wp|chili pepper}} were domesticated or developed separately in both Tonatihcan and ancient Aucuria (the chili species ''{{wp|Capsicum annuum}}'', ''{{wp|Capsicum frutescens|frutescens}}'', and ''{{wp|Capsicum chinense|shangaenense}}'' were domesticated in Tonatihcan while ''{{wp|Capsicum pubescens}}'' and ''{{wp|Capsicum baccatum|baccatum}}'' were domesticated in Aucuria, for example);
| |
| * The {{wp|guava}}, {{wp|papaya}}, and {{wp|sweet potato}} were domesticated either in the [[Sythe Rainforest|Sythe-Juoda]] region of what is now Aucuria and [[Satucin]], or along the [[New Aurean Strait]] between Satucin and [[Ardesia]], or on the islands of the Arucian Sea;
| |
| * {{wp|Peanut|Peanuts}}, the {{wp|strawberry}} cultivar ''{{wp|Fragaria chiloensis|Fragaria chanuchensis}}'', and {{wp|Yerba mate|erba mate}} were domesticated in what is now [[Gapolania]] and [fmr adamantina];
| |
| * {{wp|Tobacco}} was domesticated somewhere in Medasteria, though precisely where is unclear;
| |
| * The {{wp|calabash}} was also cultivated in Medasteria before 1488, though how and where the [[Coius|Coian]] plant species arrived in the Asterias is a matter of debate among experts.
| |
| | |
| These plants were then spread through Medasteria by trade networks, as was knowledge of how to cultivate them and prepare them for consumption (for example, the process of {{wp|nixtamalization}} for preparing maize). Plants domesticated or cultivated in other parts of the Asterias - such as {{wp|agave}} in what would become the [[Asterian Federative Republic|AFR]] and {{wp|Helianthus annuus|sunflowers}}, {{wp|winter squash}}, & {{wp|Chenopodium berlandieri|goosefoot}} from the {{wp|Northern Agricultural Complex}} - were also brought to Medasteria by trade, though climactic differences sometimes restricted their local cultivation.
| |
| | |
| Several animal species were also used as domesticated food animals in Medasteria, including the {{wp|Domesticated turkey|turkey}}, {{wp|dog}}, and {{wp|duck}} in Tonatihcan and the {{wp|llama}}, {{wp|alpaca}}, and {{wp|guinea pig}} in the Vaskaranas.
