The Serenacy of Cárinansia (Cárinansian: Serenacía de Cárinansia; Mexal: Motlaser Cárinansi; Natik: Kaa'jo Cárinansia), commonly called Carinansia or Suroikoia, is a federal presidential democracy in South Oikoia. It is bordered on the northeast by Ola and northwest by Faelauntz, north by Belessa and boarded on all other sides by the Ganacier Ocean, Lekeadian Sea, Alsevin Ocean, and Southern Ocean. Carinansia covers 119,296,000 square kilometres and has an estimated population of around 1.09 billion in 2338. It is comprised of 33 states and 1 federal district which is home to the national capital. Cárinansia is a member of the Intergalactic Assembly, Galactic Directorate, G4, and Calesian Trade Organisation.

Etymology

The name 'Cárinansia' is a bastardisation of the Mexal terms 'coztic teocuitla oztotl' (gold miner) and 'xallalli' (sandy land). Its first recorded usage was in the 18th Century by the Indigenous Revivalists seeking to establish their own national identity separate from that of Arcadia. It was in reference to the wide beaches of the colony, and the large influence gold and gold mining had on the indigenous society's culture. Some claim the term had been orally passed down for centuries of a previous society, but no evidence for this claim has been found, due to a lack of written records. Before the term Cárinansia was used the area was called Vóclaria, as the natives to the area were collectively referred to as Vóclarians, some believing this term to derive from Valorá, as many of the natives are known to hail from North of the La Plata Mountains.

History

The written history of Cárinansia spans over four millennia. First populated by modern humans over 20,000 years ago, eastern and southwestern Cárinansia (termed Suroikoia) saw the rise and fall of complex and advanced indigenous societies, later developing into a large, special multicultural civilisation. Some of these indigenous peoples might have eventually migrated north through the La Plata Mountains into what would become Valorá, though some peoples originally migrated to the southern Askihuac and Lekeadia via this passage.

The first civilisation formed in the entirety of the Suroikoia region were the Quinamecs, across the southern Altiplano and coastal areas, establishing their first farming villages and settlements in around 4000 BCE, being the first peoples to domesticate the cacao and established many practices which would be followed for many future generations. The most important ancient society formed in Suroikoia in general was Tlallioca, who established their city in what would later become Vóclaria City. Within their metropolis, they over time constructed the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, and formed one of the first judicial court systems in the world. Many believe they had census records and advanced infrastructure as well, but little was truly known as most documents of the period were destroyed during the colonial period by the Arcadian colonists.

Classic Period

In 2322, an expeditionary team discovered hidden documents transcribed in the ancient Quinamec Lexicon, hidden deep within the remains of Lake Ixta, and composed of a skutium alloy which was highly resistant to water erosion. Over the next decade, interpretative technologies allowed the text to be translated into Carinansian, which is what the following information reflects. It detailed the history of Tlallioca, governance, economy, religion, and culture. As the text describes the Shoa Star going supernova over the course of 3 weeks, with the Quinamec people interpreting it as a sign from the Gods to found their city there, among other astronomical and geological events, modern historians have been able to match their calendar with the modern Servian calendar.

In 3581 BCE, the city of Tlallioca was founded by a group of Quinamec settlers in the Voclaria Valley of the modern state of San Luis. They were a semi-democratic republic, ruled by a council composed of 5 priests of the Tlallioca pantheon, 5 representatives elected by the masses, and 5 members elected by the patrician class. With a very strong record-keeping tradition, it is known that elections for the latter two groups took place in a staggered manner every two years, while the priests remained on the council until death. Leadership of the council was rotated between the three groups every year.

For the following centuries after its foundation, Tlallioca was the center of a bustling trade network which traded with people as far away as the Kawa people of the modern Kangsuan states, and established a system of alliances with neighbouring city-states and tribes to insulate the city from outside threats. In 3497 BCE, the Kluvehin settled nearby and attempted to sack the city, but it was protected thanks to these extensive alliances. Only a decade after arriving in the region, the Kluvehin were forced out of Askihuac under threat of annihilation, instead migrating westwards to the Guarteixo.

The city had one of the earliest examples of a nominally independent judiciary, a public census taken every ten years, a sewage system, and aqueduct systems from the neighbouring Lake Ixta. Historical records of the city ceased after a tropical storm from the Alsevin Ocean, expected to be a category 5 hurricane, struck the region in 3061 BCE. Modern analysis of sediment cores in the area predict that the storm system was among the most powerful to ever hit Tecia.

Cotltec Migration

Between 2700 and 2400 BCE, the Cotltecs migrated from modern-day Faelauntz to the La Plata mountains after the Fae Forests dried out and became an arid desert. Approximately one third of them chose to remain in the mountains, the earliest ancestors of the La Plata indigenous people. The rest continued to migrate south, with documented encounters between Cotltec tribes and Tlallioca reported in 2429 BCE. Most indigenous people on Askihuac have some common descent from the Cotltecs, while the Natik indigenous predominantly descend from only the Awo people who arrived in the area between 11000 and 9000 BCE.

First Duydari Empire

The First Duydari Empire, founded in c. 400 BCE, was ruled by the Quauhtli tribe under the leadership of Emperor Miyaoapil who unified most of the tribes in Cárinansia under his rule, ruling from Huapalcalco in modern-day Tlanukoy for approximately thirty years. Upon his death, his empire came under the control of various warlords, with his son acting only as a figurehead. By 299 BCE, the warlords no longer pledged loyalty to a Duydari Emperor.

Second Duydari Empire

In 860 CE a Second Duydari Empire was established under the rule of Emperor Matlalihuitl I the Great, who had been elected as a republican leader of the Ujr River Confederacy, who went about restoring the empire which had fallen but remained a strong component of oral tradition. He ruled benevolently and imposed a system of agnatic primogeniture, which maintained stability when his son Nahuatli ascended the throne in 883 CE upon his father's death. In his flamed grandeur, he began a war with the Panahwuuk Kingdom and swiftly conquered it, capturing King Ioxalto II and beheading him in front of his people.

His effort to gain more territories and strengthen his power was a success and most of the cisplatine lands came under Duydari rule. He relocated his capital city from the country's center down south to the Valley of the Gods, Ixtanyamun. During the reign of Emperor Matlalihuitl II, many revolts occurred throughout modern-day Haiyato, Platencia, and Terfloria, demanding a greater degree of autonomy. Considering the distances involved, Matlalihuitl's army could not suppress these revolts and so he devised a compromise. He met with an Indigenous noble named Phakchay and agreed for him to rule as Prince of the vassal state of the Principality of Khallwani which eased tensions. Balés was released as a vassal state to the empire, allowing its modern-day indigenous difference to the rest of the Duydari to flourish. It eventually collapsed following the death of Tlanextic the Poor in 943 CE, fragmenting into several different states during a 20 year conflict.

Carinansian Middle Ages

Anarchic Years

The so-called Anarchic Years are considered to be between 915 and 1335 CE, during which time there existed no hegemonic political force over the southern Askihuac peninsula, unlike most other periods in the areas history. Most of the city-states in this period were led by popularly-chosen Kings, and the bulk of rural entities were nomadic tribes led by chieftains. In Lekeadia, the Kingdom of Caluma was eventually formed over several decades of growth, existing by 1010 CE. It only held land along the eastern coast of Lekeadia, with indigenous tribes in the Lekeadian jungle only nominally swearing fealty to the central government.

Third Duydari Empire

Painting of Huitzilotitlan

In 1314 CE, Mictlantecuhtli of Temaquilucan inherited the neighboring states of Temixlon and Irapuaduacan following the death of their ruler. Facing an invasion later that year over this, he mobilised a defensive army of 20 thousand infantry and 1 thousand vicuña cavalries to fend off these invaders. After success at the Battle of Tlaxtapultec, Mictlantecuhtli's forces were able to route and destroy the invading armies before quickly launching their own counterattack to take advantage of the unorganised defensive lines. After several hours of rapid movement, the forces arrived at the Administration Plaza of Cordoquilucan and captured the ruling council. Three hours later, Cordoquilucan, Temixlon and Irapuaduacan were officially annexed by Temaquilucan with direct control from the city, while suzerainty over all preexisting vassal states was assumed, greatly expanding their existing influence 100km south to the ruins of Ixtanyamun.

In March 1316, the state launched an expedition to what remained of Ixtanyamun, annexing the entire territory shortly after and beginning a colonist program for the Valley, to repopulate what was left. As the locals to the area did not care for the great religious significance it held to the Mexal Pantheon, their passive response to this annexation allowed for their admission as second-class citizens with little conflict. On the winter solstice of the following year by which time large towns had formed around the valley, Mictlantecuhtli declared the establishment of Huitzilotitlan, the City of the Gods, to be situated in the center of the Valley on a series of islands on Lake Ixta. Meticulous planning for this new city took place, with the first government building, the Tlatoani's Palace, being finished by July of 1618. By this time, he would move the entire administration of his territories here, passing several edicts to ensure that Temaquilucan remained a center of prestige despite losing the government. Oikoia saw the opening of their first university as a consequence, with the University of Temaquilucan in 1320, its Great Library and canal to Lake Ixta ensuring it remained prominent.

By 1330, Mictlantecuhtli had greatly expanded his control over southern Cárinansia, with recent wars waged against the Yaja tribes and other Mexal petty states seeing the establishment of several vassal states and direct rule, with the spoils of war taken from these territories being used to fuel Huitzilotitlan's growth further. However, it was only with the annexation of Guasahuahua in 1335 that he officially declared himself Tlatoani. With this declaration of a new empire, his imperial ambitions increased tenfold. Over the next 12 years, he managed to establish firm control over the entire southern half of Suroikoia in a complex system of suzerainty and direct control. By the time he died in battle against a rebelling Yaja force in Moncoyotl, he was the most feared and powerful general across the entire continent, with news of his feats reaching the Kangsuan and Aurelian states.

1349 Succession Crisis

Immediately after his death, a five-year succession crisis ensued which resulted in Mictlantecuhtli's second-oldest son Nezahualcoyotl assuming the crown after killing all of his siblings. His first act was to formalise the line of succession to prevent any further bloodshed and disunity following his death. He used the confiscated assets of his opponents to raise a new army of 40 thousand infantry and 7 thousand vicuña cavalry to recapture breakaway states, before marching further north to vassalise Muru tribal territories. He was at first successful in forming vassal states, but after news of his arrival reached all corners of the region, the remaining Muru tribes fled north across the La Plata mountains, as did most Runasim tribes as well. He established the modern city of Teecamatl and installed his son as the local Prince before returning to Huitzilotitlan. As the empire had essentially run out of people on the mainland to subjugate, Nezahualcoyotl enacted a series of extensive naval reforms and expansions, creating a massive fleet of over two hundred ships to launch an invasion of Lekeadia.

Conflicts with Lekeadian states

Early attempts at Lekeadian colonisation proved successful, but were later undone by the Natik-Duydari wars which saw the local states unify as the Lekeadian Confederacy under Queen Meztli of Ixchelco. By 1360, there was no remaining Duydari presence on the island, although extensive pillaging on their part had taken place. The Mask of the High Priest and Rock of Fate, for example, were both taken to Huitzilotitlan as exhibitions of the island of Lekeadia. There were some Natik efforts to invade the empire, such as the 1362 Battle of Ixtapango by Queen Xochitlicue, although it proved unsuccessful and resulted in her capture. Nezahualcoyotl II negotiated a peace treaty in Huitzilotitlan which saw them agree to the marriage of Huitzilpin and Itzel, their children, be married three years later. In 1381, Huitzilpin took the throne. Montezuma was heir-presumptive to both the Duydari Empire and the Ixchelco Alliance as a consequence of his parents.

In 1394, Montezuma I unified the Mexal and Natik-speaking worlds for the first time with both polities under personal union. Following the Lekeadian Tribal Wars (1401-1423) all Duydari authority on the island was gradually lost, with Montezuma III only being crowned Emperor of the Mainland.

Arcadian arrival in Suroikoia

The Arcadian Emperor Panegyris Verulus' growing interest in the region cleared the path for Arcadian colonisation, as he sought to not only exploit more swathes of resources to further enrich his Empire and himself, but also a place to relocate the Spani minorities in Span which he deemed undesirable. The former was a pressing matter to him, so he negotiated with Tlatoani Moyolehuani I on March 3rd, 1482 to give concessions on both developed and undeveloped areas of land in exchange for Arcadian luxuries like grapes, or horses. During this time, the Arcadians established prominent settlements like Anáheiro or Punto Banderas, utilising the Spani minority initially as their primary source of labour.

Tlatoani's Palace

By 1495, Tlatoani Amoxtli and the Arcadian Emperor began to compete heavily over influence within the Duydari Empire, the Paqui event being justification for the Arcadian Empire to declare war on the Duydari Empire, hundreds of ships within the Imperial Fleet already ready enroute to Anáheiro. The war lasted for 2 years featuring brutal fighting across southern Askihuac. Although the Duydari put up an effective resistance, the technological advancements and strategic superiority of the Arcadians lead to the capture of the Duydari capital, Huitzilotitlan, which was looted and partially destroyed upon its capture. The Treaty of Huitzilotitlan saw not only the complete subjugation of the Duydari Empire under direct Imperial Arcadian rule but also Valorá, or Khallwani as it was then known. The city of Huitzilotitlan was by this point almost entirely destroyed, with only the North Wing of the Tlatoani's Palace remaining.

Early Colonial Period

The institution of slavery was expanded from including only northern Valorán Duydari, to all Duydari subjects across the colony regardless of previous social status or wealth. Due to the favourable climate and conditions of the south, Cárinansia became a major agricultural center for all of Arcadian Oikoia and Koelasia as well.

The Moliropa company which was formed in 1502 played an incremental role in the advancement of the slave trade, by settling what would become São Lenoas in 1523 to act a transport hub for Aparician slaves headed for the Port of Pecadores. Pecadores' important role in the slave trade made it the busiest port in the entire world from 1547-1603, when it was briefly surpassed by Puerto Adinerado following a hurricane in the South. By this point, however, the Moliropa Company had long since been disbanded in the south, and replaced by the Viceroyalty of Vóclaria in 1597. The Arcadians had built a new capital city for the colonies in what had once been Huitzilotitlan, Vóclaria City being this city built over its ruins.

The first major slave uprising that had some success was the 1612 Christmas Rebellion, in which female slave Moyolenolli headed a band of slaves in the city of Cidade do Ouro in the killing of their master, before freeing the city’s massive enslaved population and seizing all arms left behind. Afterwards, she captured the city and its surrounding areas before proclaiming the Tlahtocayotl Tlaca xoxouhcayotl, generally transliterated into Albion as the Republic of Freedom. This was possible as most of the city's forces had left to help deal with a Mexal uprising in the south. The area remained independent for 21 years until the Spanic General Viçente de Peraça headed an army into the Enéas Rainforest to wipe them out and retake the area. Both sides incurred heavy casualties, but eventually he won out after Acanthio Niraemius arrived with reinforcements. Moyolenolli was captured in the fighting, being executed shortly after, with her corpse split into several pieces and scattered across the realm.

Following that, the Arcadian authority in Vóclaria City imposed punitive measures on all Indigenous peoples, modifying the slave code to mandate slave owners punish their thralls for making shows of culture under threat of confiscation of their property, approving the killing of the slaves as a suitable punishment. As a result of these measures, the indigenous population dropped further, to around 10 percent of what it had been before. As a result, greater and greater numbers of Aparician and Maharlikan slaves had to be brought to Vóclaria and Valorá through São Lenoas and Pecadores. This did force large-scale development in the colonies as the supply chains became increasingly complicated, and as slave revolts became more uncommon due to the feared repercussions.

Emmerian arrival to Ávigena

Esq. Phillipp of Keilberth managed to take acquire patronage from the Prince Elector of Entauderwald in early 1690 after news of the Anáheiro Spanic revolt and subsequent 22 month-long loss of Arcadian control reached the Emmerian states. The Esquire departed from the Port of Werbuch on August 23rd, 1690, making a stop at Chusokeon on the 1st of September before being shipwrecked on the coast of Kokosninsel harbour following a deadly hurricane. The island was named so for the abundance of coconuts present on the beach. After a couple of seasons of settlement and exploration of the islands, they finally encountered the once mercantile Kegeth peoples who assisted them in the construction of small boats which allowed the Esquire and some of his sailors to begin a voyage to Arcadian Revania after a few years. The others remained in the town they called 'Schwrack'.

Once they had enough food and resources, they departed on the next leg of their journey to the city of Ochamina further north in Revania, before stopping in the Port of the Strongest in Kostona to prepare for the longest part of the return journey. They crossed the Syldavian Ocean and arrived in Satamori before finally—after being away from Emmeria for over four years—returning to Werbuch. They told the Prince Elector what they had seen, which resulted in him officially claiming the islands for the Margraviate of Entauderwald in the 1697 Edict of Tropical Imperialism. Phillipp of Keilberth became Count Phillipp of Kokosninsel, and in return, he renamed Schwrack to New Gracemaria, after the Prince Elector's Duchy.

For the next few centuries, the territory would develop as the Emmerians peacefully co-existed with the natives, eventually expanding it into an important shipping hub of the slave trade. The Kegeth were almost entirely peacefully converted to Godsinian Lutheranism, a conversion entirely unlike the Arcadian Colonial Inquisition.

The War for Independence

The Moncovia Incident in 1814 took place after Arcadian legionaries burnt a town of colonist-descendants to the ground for illegally growing grapes and olives, as they had been declared illegal to grow in the colonies in order to protect imports from Arcadia. This move shocked and disgusted the Viceroyalty as a whole, resulting in Don Manuel Amezcua's Cry of Freedom from the Chapel of Doloria, declaring independence. The Cry only took place after holding discussions with Joaquin Cadmael, a first cousin of the Arcadian Emperor, but resulted in his capture and subsequent execution by legionaries.

Governor Publius Pompilius Herenus under the authority of Emperor Anterastilis Verulus Caesar Augustus suspended habeas corpus in the colonies as towns and cities across Vóclaria declared their support for Amezcua and excommunicated Cadmael from the Arcasian church. Carefully watching these events unfold was Viscount Alberto César Augusto of Ipudorm, a third cousin of the Emperor, and a second cousin of Cadmael. His disdain for the Arcadian Empire grew after the execution of Amezcua, but so far he declined requests from Cadmael to assist him in the fighting as he wasn't in the Viceroyalty.

Cadmael was captured following the first Battle of Vóclaria City, which resulted in the already disorganised rebellion further splintering and becoming more decentralised. While being transported from Anáheiro to Tycheala to stand trial for treason, Joaquin was thrown overboard and reportedly died twenty minutes later after being mauled by sharks. This was the final blow for Alberto, who immediately called off the rest of his diplomatic visit to Islonia and returned to what was being more and more frequently referred to as Cárinansia. When he arrived in Puerto Adinerado on October 15th, 1816, he managed to procure the first major Viceroyal city's support for independence and made plans to capture the rest of the island before proceeding to the rest of the territory south of La Plata. These plans went over very successfully as he managed to capture the entire New Kingdom of Lekeadia by the end of the year, and was organising the first naval landings into Aquila or Tzacuanyaitzcuhtli. During this time, the New Kingdom of Nuevo Paraiso also declared their loyalty to the Revolution for Independence and invited Alberto to assume command over all of the area's garrisons. The area didn't prove to be of much importance in the Civil War but did act as a launchpad for an invasion of São Lenoas in 1821.

Alberto's brother Julio was appointed by Emperor Anterastilis to act as the Emergency Imperial Legate to defeat him, but upon his arrival in Reydacay, he pledged his support for his brother and invited him to assume command after the successful bloody Battle of Oligi. Julio would act as the Wartime Administrator of these occupied lands for the remainder of the war. With the major transportation hub of Oligi now under rebel control, as well as most of the west coast, Alberto decided to make a move for Città d'oro (Cidade do Ouro) by splitting up his mainland army into five constituent parts and marching down the Amazon. He successfully seized the city but was forced to swim down the Amazon River after being split off from his forces by centuries of Legionaries. He was believed dead for days until he swam into the Port of Reydacay, word of his survival demoralising the opposing side and causing Anáheiro to declare independence as well, on the condition the primary naval center be moved there.

While relocating the fleets out of the secure Lekeadian Sea, they launched a full ground-scale invasion of Pecadores, starving out São Lenoas which was mostly destroyed as the Arcadians eventually abandoned the city for Buenas Velas far west, lasting until 1826. When Alberto arrived, he was hailed as a hero, and he had indeed finally captured the fourth-largest city in Latin Oikoia. Hearing news of the Valorán revolts in the North, Julio invited the two main leaders to Ipiranga to declare the Imperial State of Cárinansia. Described as delirious by the other three, Alberto nonetheless signed the Declaration and was officially coronated the following days in the ruins of the city Cathedral.

With most of the Viceroyalty now under firm Cárinansian control, the only city that remained was Voclaria City. So, Alberto first combined all of his armies and marched them south into the Altiplano, or sent them to the area from the south after arriving from Bahía de Diamantes. He initiated a year-long siege before finally emerging victorious in 1827, with significant parts of the city considerably damaged. Seeing the damage as too much for the center of governance, Julio placed the administrative center of the Imperial State in New Massilia. It would later be renamed to São Alberto after he was canonised by the Pope of Godsinian Catholicism.

Only the northwest of modern-day Cárinansia remained under colonial rule, the Balés Crown Colony. It declared independence as the United Tribes of Balés in 1829 without much conflict, as the Arcadians couldn't afford to retaliate. Later in the same year, the Duchy of Kokosninsel peacefully declared independence from Entauderwald following a year of negotiations. They would remain independent until 1974 when President Cárintecatl annexed them as Ávigena but allowed the Emmerian descendants to coexist peacefully with the growing Carinansian population.

Early Imperial State

Main article: Imperial State of Carinansia

Immediately after independence, Cárinansia was in extreme debt and a nation in ruin. Emperor Alberto I initially devolved many of his powers to Julio while he spent these days attempting to forge new international relationships. On the brink of establishing an alliance with the other newly-independent Kingdom of Maharlika, the move was abruptly stopped by the arrival of the Arcadian Naval Fleet off the coast of Anáheiro. This mandated the immediate return of Alberto from Castanar in order to mobilise the Cárinansian fleet. By this point, a beachhead had been established in Santa Cruz, and the Arcadian legionaries were set to continue further north until their supply lines were shattered after the surprise attack on the fleet, which destroyed it. This move allowed them to be starved out before they were eventually captured and left for dead in the La Plata mountains.

Following this attempted recapture of Cárinansia, Alberto immediately mandated the deportation of all Arcadians loyal to the former colonial regime in the Cárinansian Cárinansia Edict of 1834. After this, the country slowly continued to develop as the damage from the war of independence was repaired over the thirty years known as 'The Imperial Restoration'. Alberto I died in 1841, having constructed the new capital city and established the new social class structure of Taji, taken from the Ypsilanti Taxi. While emperor, he also established the earliest concepts of a Hakisphere, establishing the Kingdom of Aparicia.

Emperor Alberto II was an ambitious individual, being heavily inspired by the work of his father and choosing to liberate Monteguerias from Arcadian control. Such popularity garnered from a venture would cement his legacy forever, and make him forever known by an epithet he so dearly wanted—the Conqueror, the Mighty. After establishing a Kingdom, he planned to similarly liberate Ojamina, but failed. His son, Alberto III, established the Kingdom of Ojamina. All of these states were expected to pay annual tribute to the Imperial State of Carinansia, in return for mutual defense.

All plans for a colonial empire were ended after the coronation of Alberto IV, who ended the project entirely and instead focused on expanding the Cárinansian culture into the Indigenous homeland, forcing them to assimilate to the Imperial culture. As expected this caused some minor revolutions which were promptly crushed but resulted in minor reforms and the loosening of this policy. By 1908, he seized these assimilation plans and allowed the indigenous people to receive Carinansian subject status.

Pre-Distopian Era

The strong government control over the economy resulted in various black-market organisations illegally establishing de facto monopolies over most industries, including media, telecommunications, mining, and logging. Many of these organisations have direct successors into the modern-day, such as Grupothae or Oikoia Móvil. However, regardless of that, increasingly strong resource exploitation caused an economic boom that lasted until the outbreak of the Second Global War. Originally, the Imperial State managed to minimise their involvement in the war by only increasing conscription and establishing a small Expeditionary Force for the Allied side.

This all changed following the fascist self-coup in Valorá, which forced the country to strengthen its northern border in the La Plata mountains, before then being the victim of a surprise naval attack on Puerto Adinerado, which mandated the mobilisation of the navy north and officially was the commencement of war with the Fascists. At first, the Valorans managed to occupy sizeable portions of the north, but this changed after a few months of fighting, and eventually, the Cárinansian Army liberated San Esteban.

After the end of the War, the young veteran Javier Matamoros wandered the country learning languages and experiencing the native cultures from 1947 to 1953, until he was placed into imperial custody for promoting indigenous culture which had remained illegal after the Imperial State gained independence, but only began to be enforced at the start of the Distopia.

The Distopia

The Distopia is a period of imperialistic nationalism beginning after Emperor Alberto V took power following the death of his father. It led to massive restrictions being placed on free speech and movement, with all indigenous lands being redistributed amongst the nobility and clergy. During this time, a period of state-sponsored genocide and indigenous repression would begin, with the ancestral natives being reduced to 12% of their pre-regime population. Infrastructural investments were conducted in such a way as to benefit the military, with most other programs previously led by the government being abolished. Massive military garrisons were placed in the highly-liberal cities of Oligi and Anáheiro to discourage revolution. In 1952, a group of 15 met in Our Lady of Solitude Cathedral in the south to formalise their opposition to the regime and secretly establish the Revolutionary Junta. It was most notably composed of Fernando Mantovani Carvalho, who would go on to raise the Southern Armies, Roberto Ricardo Torres, a wealthy businessman with global connections, and Cauã Flores Câmara, a former bishop who raised the Eastern Armies which Matamoros would later lead.

The civil war is thought to have officially began two weeks after the Junta was formed, when Mantovani led a force of 15000 to capture the cities of Santo André and Jardim in modern-day San Luis.

Javier Matamoros was freed from an Imperial military prison in 1954 by Col. Eduardo Fernandes Couto, being quickly brought before the Revolutionary Junta in Conceição, where they had since moved their operations. Being famous for his role in the freeing of the Imperial family in 1945 from fascist Valorá,

Cárintecatl Dictatorship

Main article: Xiutecuhtli Cárintecatl

Matamoros Era

The Matamoros Era is defined as beginning immediately after the establishment of the Serenacy until the mid-90s, with most political historians in the country agreeing that the PRC had undergone a major ideological shift over these three decades.

At the very beginning of the era, Cárintecatl was still known as Javier Matamoros and was only 35 years old. Thus, he will be referred to as such until his renaming. It was marked by the Conceição Trials, trying all members of the Imperial government for their role in the genocide against the indigenous people, the destruction of the city of Oligi, and the illegal detention of hundreds of people who refused to comply with their commands. It resulted in the execution of 193 people and a further 12000 were put into forced labour constructing paved roads around the country, the vast majority dying in the process over the next decade.

The Revolutionary Academy of Cárinansia replaced the former Imperial Academy, with new government-sanctioned institutions for the codification of Mexal, Natik, Runasim and Muru all being established as well under Executive Order 55, his final before Matamoros called for presidential elections.

Rise of Cartels

After two decades of continuous PRC rule, unrest among the eastern Runasim indigenous people rose due to their perceived negative treatment by Muru indigenous policemen, with this later expanding into the widespread 1986 northern protests, President Carintecatl secretly began Project Novomundo via the intelligence agency OSI (Office of Domestic Security; Oficina para la Seguridad Interna) wherein he deployed 40 agents to the states of Haiyato (then known as Vascara) and Tohuexcotl, where the bulk of protests were taking place. He justified this as a bid to restore his own control over the region while giving the appearance of weakness in the leaked 2045 Narco Papers, which substantially reduced his posthumous popularity. It has also been the subject of many conspiracies, positioning that he profited billions during the drug war.

These agents included Emmanuel Arboleda, who co-founded the original Vascara cartel, and Panya Cuetzpalli, who founded the New Generation Cartel of La Plata, however, various other cartels quickly formed too with the situation spiraling out of control by 1993, with the formation of the Guajeres and Plaimo cartels, which were not government-sanctioned, and waged conflicts against one another. The Cazualtepec cartel of northwest Carinansia the Mujeres cartel of northern Lekeadia, among the most brutal criminal organisations in the world. At varying points, Serene-government control were at their weakest, and levels of corruption at their highest. The cartels were at their zenith in 2002, with their power greatly reducing following an extensive military effort before the 2005 Valoran Border War. After the conclusion of the war, Operation: Fénix saw 20,000 veterans of the war involved in the systemic destruction of the Cazualtepec and Mujer cartels, the latter evacuating abroad to Wexford before this could happen.

2005 Valorán Border War

The conflict was brought on by a decade of tension between the Serenacy and Valora, which began after various skirmishes took place along the Vascaran border. These issues were only exacerbated by the state's admission into the Serenacy in 1999.

Main article: Fabian Xandinho Carrasco

Tlazohdira Won Administration

Ko'ēti Tlazohdira Won became President following the impeachment of President Fabián Xandinho Carrasco in late 2039, continuing her prior involvement in the Kangsu Crisis. One week into her presidency, she initiated a naval blockade of rebel-controlled territories, permitting only certain vessels to pass through. Alongside this, she also began the first Air Force bombings of rebel military installations, which resulted in some collateral damage that saw 354 killed.

On 30 December 2039 she began Operation Eternal Liberty in West Kangsu by landing ten thousand specialised soldiers and artillery via the sea, while also dropping five thousand paratrooper special operations to participate further, later sending a further forty thousand soldiers. The next fifteen months are now referred to as the Carinansian Invasion of Kangsu, as the conclusion of the conflict saw the complete occupation of the country. Despite various attempts, she failed to pass legislation through the National Congress which would establish a new Kangsuan state under de facto Carinansian suzerainty, which obstructed any non-urgent attempts she tried to put through.

By the end of her presidency, she had low approval ratings comparable to those of her predecessor shortly before he was impeached. She chose not to seek reelection and was succeeded by the first president from another party until then.

Union Socialist Establishment

RIMO Administration

Rodrigo Itocuih Madero Obispo became president in 2042, with a Union Socialist majority in the National Congress and an aging PRC judiciary. In this position, he passed a number of wealth and land redistribution programs, intending to realise some of his socialist ideals. He was a strong advocate of state dirigisme, and his presidency saw the first of a series of Union Socialist government infrastructure programs.

Many of these programs were opposed by the increasingly partisan High Court, but all justices serving upon RIMO’a inauguration in 2041 were deceased or impeached by 2049, allowing him to appoint sympathetic members to the court, allowing him to pass his agenda as he pleased.

Annexation of Kangsu

As the manifestation of Suroikoia had been a large component of his electoral campaign, his first act as President was to hold plebiscites throughout Kangsu, to determine the desire of the people regarding the future of Kangsu. The results demonstrated overwhelming support to be admitted to the Serenacy and was followed by the 2042 Kangsu Act which formally annexed the country. Today, some of these plebiscites have been classified as fraudulent and unfree. Despite this, these territories remain states today.

Pax Carinansiana

Throughout the late 21st, and most of the 22nd century, Tecia had an unprecedented period of economic prosperity and international harmony, facilitated by the strong interventionist presence of Carinansia.

Tecian-Azlan War

Main article: Tecian-Azlan War

The state of Tecia in 2219

In July 2213, diplomatic discussions between the Azlan High Commission and the Hurtado Administration broke down, ultimately resulting in an Azlan invasion of the planet three weeks later. The initial invasion involved seven distinct starting points: the Islonian Outer Islands, eastern Spereid, the Luderanian Islands, the Maranian islands, the Outlying Emmerian Islands, northern Lekeadia. They involved the following: the Azlan Fleet detonated one Antimatter bomb at each site, resulting in a massive explosion which resulted in the destruction of many islands around the world.

A technical failure at the Lekeadian site resulted in the bomb not detonating, and allowed the Serene Armed Forces to reverse engineer the weapon. The subsequent invading force was successfully repelled, and captured technology was successfully reverse engineered to allow for a variety of new technologies. Carinansia was the only country able to successfully counter the initial invasion, and most countries globally quickly began to collapse to the invading force in spite of the formation of the Unified Anti-Azlan Coalition. Military aid provided during the Padilla Administration allowed for initial landing operations on the Uateden peninsula, and Gran Islonia to take place.

Shortly after the initial invasion, Carinansia negotiated occupation agreements with neighbouring Norikoian and Algerian states, promising defense in return for their temporary occupation for the conflict’s duration. Reverse-engineered FTL drives allowed for the Serene Space Force to detonate Hypernova bombs, based on the captured Supernova technology, on various distant Azlan planets, resulting in deaths of an estimated over a billion extraterrestrials.

There were various attempts by the Imperial Azlan Fleet to begin invasions of Carinansia, but the highly-secure Air Defense system constructed in 2180 remained invulnerable, and various unsuccessful battles at Anáheiro, Santa Lilian, and Yashuda have happened as a result. The Oikoian economy has become by far the wealthiest globally, as the rest of Tecia is devastated by the invasion, but this is primarily due to strong Carinansian industry, labour force, and education.

The war’s outbreak has also begun a revolution in aeronautics and astrophysics, resulting in the creation of various native FTL transport, combat, assault, bomber, spy, and colonial ships. In November 2218, Ricardo Padilla approved the establishment of Carinansian colonies on habitable planets across the Galaxy. Refugees imported from around the world, as well as Carinansian colonists, have already formed such a territory on the planet of Ingara, and currently number several million. Chup Alvorada, S.A. financed the majority of these efforts.

Treaty of Pyndara

Under the Chaves Administration, the conflict between the Azlan Empire and Unified Tecian Coalition came to a conclusion, as the Azlan outer territories began to declare their independence from the Empire, resulting in their collapse beginning. In February that year, diplomatic discussions began on the occupied planet of Azla. On June, after months of discussions, a peace agreement was reached. The result was one of the greatest geopolitical shifts in recent interstellar history, and the greatest change in Tecian politics.

• The establishment of a formal Carinansian Hegemony over the rest of the planet of Tecia and their political territories, requiring all other human national polities to pledge their fealty to the Serenacy.
• Recognition by all involved parties of the admission of the states of Uyura, Gosra, and Glunos to Carinansia.
• The annexation of various Azlan neighbourhoods throughout their homeworld.
• The demilitarisation of the Azlan star system; reparations in the form of 25% of their national income, or an equivalent in goods produced or raw goods extracted.
• The Azlan Emperor renounces their divinity and all claims of it in a televised, public appearance.
• The proclamation of a democratic constitutional monarchy on Azla
• Free determination for all formerly occupied territories
• Recognition of alien citizenship for all parties involved

Only two years after the treaty was ratified, the Azlan Empire had already greatly crumbled, only controlling most of Azla, and several distant resource extraction bodies. The Serenacy of Carinansia is an intergalactic power, with several diplomatic missions established with other interstellar states. Their primary rivals during this time were the Hemithean Republic, Leskean Prerate, and Unified Galactic Industrial Unions, though ultimately, the Serenacy prevailed.

By 2441, Carinansia has become the predominant power across the fourth quadrant of outer space, being recognised as the region's first true hyperpower, and known for being a bastion of free democracy. A second, galactic Pax Carinansiana is said to have been established, though certain hinterlands are known to be much more unstable.

Geography

Cárinansia is commonly known as the land of Extremes, with tall mountains reaching over 5 thousand meters tall across the northern border and accompanying canyons plunging thousands of meters below the surface, with large sweeping deserts swaddling the Enéas rainforest in the central east of the country, as well as a tropical, humid climate immediately after these deserts as the land reaches the sea.

The Eneas rainforest comprises most of the states of Terfloria, Najolk, Haxith, and is present in northwestern provinces of Mangulak. It has grown in size over the last two centuries, thanks to environmentalist policies introduced by Achcauhtli Ventura in 2063 to eliminate logging in the area. Although it was briefly repealed by executive decree between 2177 and 2179, the High Court ultimately declared this move illegal and reverted the measure, and only minor deforestation had been undertaken.

The Cárinansian Altiplano, stretching from the Enéas to the southern coast, occupies the vast expanse of land between the central and southern regions of the Serenacy. A low center-west range divides the altiplano into northern and southern sections. These two sections, previously called the Mesa del Norte and Mesa Central, are now regarded by geographers as sections of one altiplano. The northern altiplano averages 1,100 meters in elevation and continues south from the Río Eneas del Norte through the states of Tlanukoy and San Luis. Various narrow, isolated ridges cross the plateaus of the northern altiplano. Numerous depressions dot the region, the largest of which is the Bolsón de Mapimí. The southern Altiplano is higher than its northern counterpart, averaging 2,000 meters (6,600 ft)​ in elevation. The southern altiplano contains numerous valleys originally formed by ancient lakes. Several of Cárinansia's most prominent cities, including Vóclaria City and Duranillo, are located in the valleys of the southern Altiplano.

In the centre of the country sits the island of Lekeadia, which is predominantly covered with thick rainforest, but wildfires in the mid 22nd century eliminated large swathes in the states of Caluma, and Nuevo Paraiso. The northern Ipudorm peninsula on the island, which is wholly encompassed by the state of Ipudorm, is mainly covered by dry plains, but has some Sandy desert in the north and tropical rainforest in the south.

In the southwest sits the island of Guarteixo, subdivided into various states. It has a tropical rainforest climate in the north, which becomes drier and colder further south. The southern fifth of the island is mainly covered by cold plains, and consists of mild glaciers.

Climate

The climate of Cárinansia is very varied, the Tropic of Cancer effectively divides the country into temperate and tropical zones. Land that is north of the twenty-fourth parallel experiences lower temperatures during the winter months. South of the twenty-fourth parallel, temperatures are fairly consistent all year round and vary solely as a function of elevation. The north of the country usually receives less precipitation than the south due to their higher altitudes, but the center specifically receives more precipitation than most places in the world, being the heart of the Enéas River Basin and Rainforest.

Cárinansia has pronounced wet and dry seasons. Despite the differences in altitude and humidity, most of the country experiences a rainy season from June to mid-October and significantly less rain during the remainder of the year. February and July generally are the driest and wettest months, respectively. Guajeres, for example, receives an average of only 5 millimeters (0.2 in)​ of rain during February but more than 160 millimeters (6.3 in) in July. Coastal areas, especially those along the Gulf of Cárinansia, and the interior Enéas areas, experience the largest amounts of rain in September. Terfloria typically records more than 300 millimeters (11.8 in)​ of rain during that month. A portion of northwestern Ipudorm has a Uateden climate influenced by the Luvian Current, with a rainy season that occurs in winter and coastal regions receiving considerable fog. Another area that experiences a Uateden climate as a result of elevation occurs in the interior of Haiyato.

Demographics

Language

The Serenacy has had no official language since its foundation in 1966. However, Cárinansian has been the most spoken language ever since the minority ethnic group fled from persecution in Arcadia to the colonies. Due to massive revivalist efforts as part of the Voclástizaje social program, indigenous languages including Natik, Mexal, and Runasim have faced massive resurgences along with hundreds more minor ones. It is believed roughly 79% of the population is bilingual in Cárinansian and Natik, and a lower 45% of the population is trilingual in the former two and Runasim or Muru. Around 9% of the population is believed to be monolingual in Cárinansian, 5% in Natik, 3% in Runasim, and 2% in Mexal.

The largest non-majority language is Runasim, which was up until 40 years ago at danger of extinction with fewer than ten thousand speakers- Today all official government pages have a copy in it. This is owed to the long cultural importance of the language and the legal detail in which it can be used. It is estimated that around 15 million people can speak it at a conversational level.

There is a common misconception that Ávigena has a large proportion of Emmerian speakers due to its colonisation by Emmeria and subsequent independence from Cárinansia until 2012, however, due to large migration from southern Cárinansia in the mid-20th century this is untrue, with only a few scattered communities primarily speaking the language in the modern-day.

Religion

Forms of Godsinianism have existed in Cárinansia for around 500 years. Since independence and especially since the establishment of the Serenacy and the new Voclástizaje program, religious diversity has increased in Cárinansia, with Godsinianism being the primary religion of the Arcadian-Cárinansians, but indigenous religions and atheism have also seen increasing popularity, particularly among the indigenous populations. All states in the Serenacy recognise no religion as the official in order to maintain official state secularism, especially with the large multicultural, multi-faith immigrant population of the country.

In 2015, 63% of survey respondents identified as Godsinians. This number was split between 53% as Godsinian Catholics, and 10% as Godsinian Protestants, with a negligible Orthodox population. In the same survey, 14% of respondents identified as adherents to Indigenous faiths, and the number of Atheists reached 15%, with 8 million of them being Natives. Finally, primarily among foreign-born populations, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam were stated to be adhered to by 8% of the population. There are still remnant Arcasian communities from the period of colonisation, but these are mostly dying out and being replaced by Atheists as residents migrate to cities.

The Church of Godsinian Catholicism formerly was the official state-recognised religion during the Imperial State, with many of the Legislature seats being specifically reserved for these peers. During the Arcadian colonisation, Arcasianism was the officially-recognised religion, with the 3rd Viceroyal Decree mandating that all settlements had to have at least one 'large-sized church' in order to be recognised as a legal town.

Ethnicity

The largest ethnic group in Cárinansia are the Amalges, who are descended from many different ethnicities, with DNA sequencing from 2098 at the State University of Voclaria suggesting the average ethnic makeup for Amalges as: 39.4% Spanic, from the Spania region of Arcadia, 26.9% Kangsuan, 17.8% Aurelian, 11.9% La Plata Indigenous, and 4% Natik Indigenous, with the average member of the 'ethnicity' having resided in Carinansia for several generations, at least a third of Carinansians are descended from Spanic settlers whom arrived from 1610 to 1800. The states with the largest numbers of Amalges (proportionally) are Anáheiro, Haxith, San Luis, Ipudorm, and Niwang.

The next largest ethnic group are the Cabales, deriving from "Caballero", a term originally exclusively applied to ranchers during the Viceroyalty. Over 21% of the country's population belongs to this classification. DNA sequencing from 2094 at the State University of Voclaria has demonstrated that Cabales almost solely descend from the original Arcadian and Spanic settlers. Many Cabales have some ancestry from Emmeria and Brototh, from immigrants and intermarriage with Ávigense. They are mainly concentrated in San Luis, eastern São Lenoas, and the Altiplano states.

14.8% of Carinansians have a predominantly Indigenous Oikoian ancestry, most of them members of the La Plata, Natik, Mexal, or Ahua people. Totrê refers to the smallest local ethnic group, consisting of descent primarily Aurelian and Kangsuan, but also including Emmerian, Estovakian, and La Plata Indigenous. Notable politicians of this group include President Julian Águila and incumbent governor of Anáheiro, Juan Martín Berrocal.

La Plata Indigenous People refers to the common ethnic group that originates from the La Plata mountain range, consisting primarily of northern Haiyato and Platencia, and southern Embardoro. They share common descent from ten tribes that lived in the area until the Arcadian conquistadors forcibly relocated their tribal society in 1811. Seven tribes were sent to Haiyato, and three to Platencia. One of the Platencian tribes was completely wiped out during the Distopia. Haiyato experienced a booming fertility rate due to the conclusion of the Vascara War between 2032 and 2062, resulting in a large youth population, while many immigrants also arrived from Platencia, which remained economically depressed from the conflict.

Health

The Carinansian public health system, the National Medical Service (Sistema Medical Nacional – SMN), is managed and provided by all levels of government, being the largest system of this type in the world. Private healthcare systems play a complementary role, of 3.1% of the health industriy. Public health services are universal and offered to all citizens of the country for free. However, the construction and maintenance of health centers and hospitals are financed by taxes, and the country spends about 21.3% of its GDP on expenditures in the area. In 2500, Carinansia had 10 doctors and 100 hospital beds for every 1,000 inhabitants.

Despite all the progress made since the re-establishment of the universal health care system in 2321, there are still some public health problems in Carinansia. In 2487, the main points to be solved were funding for nurses, doctors, and general pharmacology, which were largely resolved in 2491 by Brinal Silnax'thar in his expansive social spending hike through the National Medical Service Funding Act.

The number of deaths from noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases (17.1 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants) and cancer (42.2 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants), also has a considerable impact on the health of the Carinansian population. Finally, external but preventable factors such as car accidents, violence and suicide caused 14.9% of all deaths in the country. The Carinansian health system was ranked 13th among the 67 galactic states evaluated by the Universe Health Organization (OUS) in 2499.

Education

Cárinansian public education is operated by state and local governments and regulated by the Serene Department of Education through restrictions on federal grants. In the various states there are different requirements for different species, humans are required to attend schooling from age 5 to 20, with their; some states allow students to leave school early at 14, 15, and 17 if they are considered exceptional. Of Cárinansians 25 and older, 98% graduated from high school, 87% attended some college, 69.4% earned a bachelor's degree, and 48.2% earned graduate degrees. The basic literacy rate is considered to be near-universal. The country has the most Nobel Prize winners in history, with 1199.

The Serenacy has many private and public institutions of higher education including some of the world's top universities, as listed by various ranking organizations, are in the Serenacy, including 4 of the top 25 and 10 of the top 100. There are local community colleges with more open admission policies, shorter academic programs, and free tuition. The Serenacy spends the third most on education per student in the world, spending an average of $23,125 per year on public elementary and secondary school students in the 2499–2500 school year.

Jeremías Escribano
President

Angélica Gálvez
Vice President

Since the ratification of the Carinansian constitution in 1966, Carinansia has been a constitutional republic operating as a federation with a congressional system. The country is the birthplace of the Serene model of government, which is characterised by the lack of two different houses, with the executive generally more powerful than typical federal forms of government. In Carinansia, the Head of State and Head of Government is President and their legislative representative is the Vice President, held by Jeremías Escribano and Angélica Gálvez respectively.

The legislative branch of the Carinansian government is the National Congress, which is a unicameral institution comprised of one house. Carinansia adheres to the concept of executive sovereignty, meaning that the executive branch is considered supreme to all other branches of government, holding absolute sovereignty. Due to this concept, the executive branch is somewhat dependent on legislative control, with judges on the Supreme Court appointed by the President, and confirmed by the Cabinet. It is only to go to the National Congress if 55% of the chamber demands so in a stated resolution. The federal congress, as well as the state legislatures, are elected by a system of parallel voting that includes plurality and proportional representation. The Congress contains 513 seats. Of these, 7 are automatically assigned to each state and the Distrito Central, totaling 168, and the remainder are given out proportionally.

Since 2097, Carinansia has been governed by a Union Socialist Party President and a majority in the National Congress. This replaced a Presidency held by the Party for the Cárinansian Revolution and the Three Party System. There also exist a few smaller parties in the chamber, like Estatal Calumana, or Bloque Lekeadia, which formerly had 59 seats in the National Congress at their peak in 2094 before losing them all in the 2097 congressional elections.

States

Main article: National Subdivisions of Carinansia

The Serenacy of Cárinansia is comprised of twenty-five federal states and one federal district; The Central District. This District is legally described as a whole constituent entity neutral of any state, having almost all powers and autonomy relegated to states (with the exception of some national park and governmental functions). Because of a clause in the Cárinansian Constitution, as it is the seat of the powers of the federation, it can never become a state or within a state or the capital of the country has to be relocated elsewhere. This was the case following the incorporation of the District of Tadea as the State of Tadea, with the new Central District being declared to be the city of Nojawa and the surrounding borders, which were already federal land.

The most populous state since the National Declaration has not always been São Lenoas, originally being San Luis until São Alberto was incorporated into Vóclaria City and Tadea was declared the new capital of the nation in 1967; this move had resulted in a substantial reduction in government funds to the state and a 20-year exodus. Furthermore, Mangulak was formerly the third-largest state until the Royalist destruction of Oligi during the Civil War, causing a mass capital and population flight from the state until the governorship of Andrés Blanco Morelos in the late 80s.

The states have substantial autonomy and powers to establish and administer local laws. This is evident from the variation in the country’s drinking age

Military and Foreign Relations

Cárinansian Military

Main article: Serene Armed Forces

The Serene Armed Forces is composed of five branches of the military: the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Strategic Support Force, and the Space Force, and are controlled by five independent government departments as well. The SSF and Space Force were established by President Julian Águila following an executive order in 2074.

Following the 2099 military restructuring by Jeremías Escribano, Gen. Waywa Pumacaja is the Secretary of the Army and Armed Forces, Admiral Tia Barrios is the Secretary of the Navy, Gen. Luis Indiano is the Secretary of the Air Force, Gen. Fátima Ambrósio Monteiro is the Secretary of the Strategic Support Force, and Col. Fábio Esteves Álvarez is the Secretary of the Space Force. The President is the commander-in-chief as an ex officio position, and can veto military action from taking place. If there is congressional prerogative for a war to take place, this authority can be suspended by a vote of the Supreme Court.

South Oikoian Security Treaty

The South Oikoian Security Treaty (SOST) is a military alliance consisting of the Suroikoian countries, including Carinansia, Monteguerias, Ochamina, Aparicia, Maharlika, and Kostona. Created in 2029 by representatives of the various countries in the region and signed in Tlajoyotl, article 4 includes clauses regarding mutual defense, and Article 5 permits foreign intervention if requested by the foreign country, and agreed to by the South Oikoian Committee. Article 5 has thus far never been used. Article 4 was first used in 2052 by Monteguerias in response to a Fae invasion of the country. A Carinansian-led response team consisting of fifty thousand soldiers in Operation Desert Knight deposed the fascist matriarchal regime in power over a year of fighting.

It was activated by Kostona in response to a takeover by foreign extremist terrorists in 2052 and the island as a whole was occupied by Carinansian forces by May that year, remaining under their occupation until twenty years later. President Julian Águila withdrew military forces in 2077 and was a signatory to the new constitution

G6

The G6, formally referred to as the Group of Six, is an alliance of six of the world's current leading nations, established in 2084 in Canden, Odus, by the leaders of the countries including Sebastião Rodrigo Madero Lourenço representing Carinansia. It is an intergovernmental political and economic forum consisting of the USO, Carinansia, Aurelia, Islonia, Emmeria, and Aexodius. The G6 summit has been held in Carinansia thrice, in 2085 and 2091 in Nojawa, and 2097 in Tlajoyotl.

Communication

The first post office in Cárinansia was established in 1579 in the bustling slave-trading transport hub of São Lenoas to create a direct naval postal route to Sarardium. The modern-day public postal service is today maintained by the Cárinansian Postal Service (Sepocár; Servicio Postal Cárinansia). It mostly developed as the colony developed, with over 5,000 post offices by independence. The Imperial State stagnated the development of the postal system though, only developing slightly during the Matamoros Era.

The PITT was established by the Imperial authority and the only legally-recognised telegraph and telephone provider in the Imperial State from 1927 to 1964, but a black market telecommunications group formed by Adriano Cordeiro de Assunção in 1939 gained a de facto monopoly over the industry, officially incorporating as Telecom Oikoia in Oligi in 1964. After their headquarters were destroyed in the Royalist destruction of the city, the company relocated to Punto Banderas, rebranding as Oikoia Móvil in 1986. To this day it is the largest telecommunications provider in the nation, and one of the largest in the world.

Stipulated in one of the early National Congressional Resolutions, TV and Radio are not legally classified as forms of telecommunications in order to exempt them from regulations that would affect how viewers could watch or participate in them. Notably, Cárinansia is home to Grupothae, the third-largest media corporation in Thaecia. The Internet has been popular in the country ever since its introduction, with some restrictions originally being placed on the content by President Cárintecatl which were later wholly removed in 2010. 6G is presently used by over 80% of the country but is beginning to be phased out by Oikoia Móvil's and RK Telecom's 7G programs.

Culture

The culture of Cárinansia reflects the country's long and complicated history, Cárinansians have developed a culture of their own with major influences from Indigenous, Spani, and Arcadian cultures, and more minor influences from other cultures around Thaecia. First inhabited 20,000 years ago, the cultures which formed eventually resulted in the creation of one of the Cradles of Civilisation. During the 300-year rule by the Arcadians, Cárinansia was a crossroads for the people and cultures of Koelasia and South Oikoia. The government of the first independent Cárinansia actively opposed the fusion of Indigenous and foreign cultures, preferring to have a nation stylised off the Imperial Tychealan Empire. By the time of the 1952 Coup d'etat, this opposition was so strong that the period known as the Distopia begin, which had already resulted in the beginning of the Distopia, beginning the destruction of many cultures and languages. President Cárintecatl's Nationalist ideology, as well as his various adventures and experiences allowed him to revive some of these deceased cultures to their successors, with the modern-day Serenacy actively promoting diffusion of all cultures to form a national identity, which has created the Amalges ethnic group.

The culture of an individual Cárinansian is influenced by familial ties, gender, religion, location, and social class, among other factors. In many ways, contemporary life in the cities of Cárinansia has become very lively and goal-oriented, with rural people conserving traditions more greatly than city dwellers, although this has been facing a steep decline since the 2060s, as rural atheism and Union Socialism have become more common.

In the last century Cárinansia has received a large number of immigrants, resulting in many cultural attributions of other cultures to make their way into Cárinansian culture. The Serenacy has been described as a tessellation or collage, in that immigrants are highly encouraged to keep their traditions and cultures, creating a 'tessellation' effect. This is only boosted by the aforementioned government's promotion of cultural unity and intermingling.

Sports

Committee Football is by and far the most popular sport across the vast majority of Cárinansia, named as such because its modern rules were codified by the National Revolutionary Committee in 1965. The National Football League (LNF) is composed of 45 teams and is the most-viewed sport in Oikoia, gaining global acclaim as the Serenacy increased its global influence. The 66th national champions in 2099 were the Kangsu Kings of Poje, the first team in the former country of Kangsu to win. The Eocuipetl Rebels in Ipudorm have won the most championships, having won on 15 occasions. Today it is the National sport, with championship game host cities being selected via a lottery system.

Footvolley is a sport unique to Cárinansia created in the mid-1970s by Estevão Saraiva da Silva in Anáheiro while acting in his capacity as a lifeguard at Libélula Beach, bored due to his lack of activity and the presence of various friends, he came up with the idea for the name after they wanted to play volleyball but only had a football, and he made the suggestion to combine the two. Originally 6 players were on each team, but the number was reduced to 2 by the International Footvolley Association in 1983 after it had reached international acclaim.

Capoeira is an Indigenous-Cárinansian martial art that combines elements of dance and music and is marked by deft, tricky movements that are often played on the ground or completely inverted. It also has a strong acrobatic component in some versions and is always played with music. It is a culturally significant sport, developed in colonial times by slaves. Nowadays, Capoeira is practiced internationally and found its way into popular culture, through many computer games and movies.

In Cárinansia, mixed martial arts is one of the most popular sports. In terms of national popularity, it ranks second only to football. Cárinansian jiu-jitsu is a type of jiu-jitsu that emerged in Cárinansia in the 1910s and focuses on ground fighting and submission holds such as joint-locks and chokeholds. Nicolas Amaral had a rather small build and changed jiu-jitsu (originating from Kangsu) to be used by anyone in a real fight situation. The belt progression system goes in the following order: White, Blue, Purple, Brown, Black, Red-black, and Red. Due to the highly skilled fighters in the Amaral family, namely Nicolas Amaral, Alfredo Amaral, and Ricardo Amaral, who are also responsible for spreading the practice of vale tudo, which evolved into mixed martial arts tournaments such as PRIDE, DREAM, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Amaral Jiu Jitsu became known internationally in the 1990s. Many Cárinansian fighters have become prominant figures in various mixed martial art tournaments abroad, some notable Cárinansian fighters in these tournaments include Agildo Bastos, Wanderlei Silva, Rodrigo Amaral, Yaopa Belfort, José José de Juan y Juan, Miguel Amanto, Benício Fraga do Nascimento, Junior dos Santos, Rafael dos Anjos, Alessandro Rosário Paschoal, and Erasmo Correia.

Handball was brought to Cárinansia during the late-19th century by Emmerian immigrants, quickly becoming very popular in schools across the country, being the second most practiced in education behind only football, due to its simplicity. The National Handball Association controversially decided to decrease the number of core players per team to 4 in 2011, but this move would be reverted in 2049 after the nationalisation of the organisation by RIMO.

Ulama games are held on a makeshift court known as a tastei, which is constructed by drawing or chalking large lines in the dirt. A centerline, known as an analco, divides the courts into opposing sides. The chichi or chivo is a ball that is allowed to cross the end line and scores a point for the opposing team. In the play, rayas (points) are earned. Under some circumstances, the scoring system allows for the score to be reset to zero, which can lead to lengthy games. The modern game includes three primary variations, but the most popular is 'Ulama de cadera,' or hip ulama. A hip ulama team consists of typically six players (but there could be as many as twelve players) wearing loincloths, with leather hip pads for some protection against the heavy (3-4 kg, around 7-9 lb)​【4 kg】​ rubber ball.

The purpose of the game is to keep the ball in the game and within bounds. Depending on the score and changes in local rules, the ball is hit either high or low. When the opposing player hits the ball abnormally, misses the ball, hits the ball out of bounds, touches the ball with any body part other than the hip, accidentally touches a teammate, or stops the ball before it reaches the centerline, it results in a point for the opposing team. The first team that scores eight points wins. If both teams finish with the same number of rayas after two hours, the score is reset to zero and begins again after a ten minutes break. Most modern games are stopped after around an hour and a half before a round ends, but one game in the pre-Arcadian era reportedly took 8 days to finish. The longest game in contemporary times took around 2 days to finish, won by the Villa Pérez team after the opposing team reportedly had fallen asleep. In the original form of the game, losers would be killed.

Charrería was Imperial Cárinansia's national sport, which dates back to the 16th century and consists of a series of equestrian contests developed in Cárinansia. The charreada, a type of rodeo invented in Cárinansia in order to preserve charro traditions, is the most prominent event. It originates from the State of San Luis, the modern-day town of San Martín del Caballo.

The Federación Cárinansia de Charrería (Cárinansian Federation of Charreria; FCC) organizes charrería events. The most recent winner of the National Charrería is the Haiyatan Amanda Quadros Salgado, the first female champion.

Cuisine

Cárinansian Cuisine has developed and varied drastically over the last 500 years, brought on by first Koelasian settlers, and then the massive wave of immigration in the late 19th century and again in the late 20th century. Many dishes in the Serenacy are heavily influenced by Arcadian dishes, and to an extent, Emmerian and Indigenous dishes. Many dishes in mainland Cárinansia are mixed dishes brought from the two countries during the colonial period. The Cotltecs' migration into Cárinansia during the 10th century introduced a wide variety of exotic spices and foods into the nation, which remains a major staple of Cárinansian cuisine today. The first cultivation of maize, tomatoes, and coffee beans were major turning points in the local cuisine during the 15th century, introducing many new foods still considered iconic today. Cacao originated from Cárinansia and was first used as a medicinal substance, but after the Arcadian subjugation was introduced to the rest of the world as sweet food. Pulque is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the maguey plant, highly popular to tourists but relatively unknown when not visiting the country. Tequila, on the other hand, is internationally renowned for its sweet and citrus aroma combined with its strong flavour. It is mainly distilled in Tequila and is based on the pre-Arcadian Mezcal.

The Serenacy is responsible for many iconic foods, such as nachos, the taco, quesadilla, the enchilada, and the popularisation of guacamole in the 17th century during colonialism.
