The'''Chênique Republic''' ({{wpl|French|Audonic}}: ''Chênique République''; {{wpl|Cherokee language|Anigiduwagi}}: ᎠᏓᏯᎯᎢᎾᎨᎢ, ''Adayahi Inagei''; {{wpl|Abenaki language|Alnôbaôdwawôgan}}: ''Wachilmezi'') is a sovereign nation located in Norumbia. It borders the countries of [[Moxaney]] and [[Awasan]] to the north, [[Mniohuta]] to the west and [[Gristol-Serkonos]] to the south. Its eastern coastline leads to the North Thalassan Sea. The capital of Chenes is [[Ville de Augusta]] and the most populous city is [[Piscataquis City]]. Chênes has historically been divided into two divisions: [[West Chenes]] and [[East Chenes]]. These two areas differ in politics, culture, economics and language. The population of Chenes is approximately at 19.7 million people, with around 80% of which live in East Chenes. The majority of people within the country self-identify as [[Chênique people|Chênique]].
'''Alameda''', formally the '''Democratic Republic of Alameda''' ({{wpl|Spanish Language|Alamedan}}: ''República Democrática del Alameda'') is a sovereign nation located in Norumbia. It borders the countries of [[Rökkurlynd]] and [[Awasin]] to the north, [[Mniohuta]] to the west and [[Gristol-Serkonos]] to the south. Its eastern coastline leads to the North Thalassan Sea. The capital of Alameda is [[Cuidad Augusto]] and the largest city is [[Hortensia]]. Alameda has been historically defined into two [[Grand Divisions of Alameda|Grand Divisions]], [[West Alameda]] and [[East Alameda]]. These two areas are politically, culturally, economically and linguistically distinct. The population of Alameda is approximately 19.7 million people, with around 72% of which live in East Alameda. Alameda is a multi-cultural country, and has four constitutionally recognized constituent groups: [[Alamedines]], [[Chuscos]], Muskogee and Anigiduwagi.  
 
Chenes has historically been inhabited since the last ice age, with evidence of inhabitation dating from 10,000 B.C.E. Chenes is considered the homeland of two Norumbrian groups, the {{wpl|Iroquoian languages|Serkonian}} {{wpl|Cherokee|Anigiduwagi}} and the {{wpl|Algonquin langueages|Kadowakan}} {{wpl|Abenaki|Wαpánahki}}. Much of these groups settled through small tribal systems which eventually devolved into two large, influential tribes that would influence events among over twenty-five different Anigiduwagi and Wαpánahki clans. The two largest tribes were the Anigiduwagi [[Quanassee]] and the Wαpánahki [[Androscoggin]], both of which frequently fought over influence over tribes.  


In 1625, a group of dissatisfied Audonic merchants and tradesmen formed the [[New Augusta Trading Company]] landed on the shore close to the site of contemporary [[Ville de Augusta]]. This new settlement was named [[Côte d'Augusta]] and would later be expanded and renamed to Ville de Augusta. The new settlers made contact and were initially welcomed by the Wαpánahki tribe of Winnibisauga, which was aligned with the Androscoggin. With the help of Winnibisauga and another Wαpánahki tribe, the Androscoggin-aligned Nashua; the Androscoggin were able to weather the harsh winters. Early Augustan commerce revolved around the use of {{wpl|wampum}} and trading fur, pelts and labor to the Winnibisauga and Nashua, in return for food and transportation inland. This commerce allowed for a flourishing of Audonic settlements, with the establishment of the villages of [[Ville de Amiens]] (then known as Côte d'Amiens) and [[Vignobles]]. Vignobles was established close to claimed land from the Wαpánahki tribe of Amaseconti, which were persuaded by Nashua delegates to allow the settlers to establish tradeposts and houses around them.
Alameda has been inhabited since the last ice age, with evidence of habitation dating back to 10,000 B.C.E. Alameda is considered to be the homeland of two indigenous Norumbrian groups: the Serkonian Anigiduwagi and the Muscogeans. Both of these groups have settled across Alameda, and have since utilized a formal tribal system. This tribal system defined the two large and influential [[Great Tribes of Alameda|Great Tribes]] and the various [[Lesser Tribes of Alameda|Lesser Tribes]] scattered throughout the country. Since the 12th century, the two Great Tribes were the Muscogean Tallapoosa tribe and the Anigiduwagi Qanasi tribe. The political tension has existed and the two have been historical enemies. The last war between the two ended in 1824, after the [[Third Tallapoosa-Qanasi War]], though tensions between the two remains at large, since the [[1975 West Alamedan Riots|1975 West Alamedan Riots]].


By 1775, Chenes had not become a unified entity. Some of the towns had faced issues in permenant settlement, the most obvious being Vignobles and Ville de Amiens. The Androscoggin-aligned Amaseconti were actively engaged in war with the Quanassee-aligned Anigiduwagi tribe of Kulsetsiyi. Ville de Amiens had been abandoned twice, once due to a devestating {{wpl|famine}} that forced people to flee southward from Amiens to Augusta. On the second time, the Quanassee-aligned Telliqo tribe invaded the town, in what is known as the [[Amiens Raid]] in 1808. The Amiens raid and subsequent requests to expansion eventually resulted in the [[Augusta Assembly]] being called to hold peace talks between the Androscoggin and Quanassee, and for the Audonic towns to seek unification. The [[Confederation of Chenes]] was created as a result, between the Chenique and Androscoggin. The Quanassee delegates and the majority of Quanassee-aligned tribes abandoned the assembly midway due to disagreements.  
Alameda was one of the few Garzan colonies in Norumbia, founded as the [[Province of New Augusta]] and later reformed as the [[Province of the New Frontier]]. Chartered and established by the [[Western Garzan-Latium Company]], the province was centered at the city of Costa de Augusta. New settlers primarily spoke {{Wpl|Spanish Language|Garzan}}, which eventually became the {{Wpl|lingua franca}}. The new colonial province and its settlers were initially welcomed by the Muscogean tribe of Coosa and would later forge a mutually beneficial alliance with the Tallapoosa.


The Quanassee and the many smaller Tsalagi tribes later declared war on the Confederation of Chenes in the [[War of Androscoggin-Etinne]] in 1824. The war saw the eventual inclusion of the Quanassee and Tsalagi tribes under the Confederation with almost free-reigning autonomy. In 1914, the [[Penobscot Assembly]] was held which federalized the confederation and saw a stronger central government with weaker state governments. The Penobscot Assembly also resolves to recognize the Quanassee as a singular political entity that participated within the federal government and held free reign as an almost entirely separate country under the protection of Chenes.
Alameda entered a long period of warfare, known locally as the [[La Liberacion]]. This began when [[Asherionic Occupation of Alameda|Alameda was occupied]] in 1805, and continued for 25 years during the [[Alamedan Wars of Independence]].
 
Chenes is currently a federal legislative-dependent republic. The head of state and head of government are elected within the [[Senate of Chenes]], the upper house in the [[Legislature of Chenes]]. The executive branch is the [[Executive Council of Chenes]], which is led by the President of Chenes. Chenes is officially trilingual at a federal government level, with states being able to choose which languages to represent as their official language. Chenes has historically been a nation that focuses on railroad and transportation as an economic option, and is a founding member of the [[Commercial Railway Company]] that serves [[Moxaney]] and [[Gristol-Serkenos]]. Chenes is strictly an unaligned nation and refuses to engage with international conflicts that do not threaten Chenes. As a result, Chenes military is extremely small and only contains one branch, the [[Border Guard of Chenes]].  


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The term '''Chêne''' comes from the Audonic word for the {{wpl|oak tree}}. While the majority of wood that was used was pine tree wood, the oak tree was considered to be unique to the Audonic settlers. Many different trinkets or special things that were created by the Audonic settlers were made of oak, signifying its value to them.  
"Alameda" as a name can be traced to the poem, ''[[Niños de Roble]]'' by [[Rosalía Castellanos]] that was published in 1672 in the colony. The name itself derives Castellanos admiration at the Muscogee's complex system of trails and roads that extended throughout East Alameda. During the time, the colonial province was looking for a new name to replace the name New Frontier. Settlers at the time felt that the name New Frontier related closer to the colonial company's identity over the settler's new identity intermingled with the Muscogee.


The term Chênique was coined by [[René Sieyes]] during the [[Augusta Assembly]] in 1813, which caught in very quickly during the [[Penobscot Trade Revolution]]. The cultural and societal revolution sought better integration between the Audonic settlers and the Wαpánahki.
==Government==
The Republic of Alameda and its [[Constitution of Alameda|constitution]] were initially drafted by the [[Alamedine-Muscogee Free Government]] in 1807, and was eventually signed in 1830 at the end of the Independence War. Alameda is a {{wpl|Federal state|Federal}} {{wpl|Presidential system|Presidential}} {{wpl|Republic}} under the constitution. Alameda has was founded and has been governed under the principles of [[Alamedine-Muscogean Concordance]], which dictated much of its early legal principles.
===Military===
{{main_article|Armed Forces of Alameda}}
The Armed Forces of Alameda are administered under civilian control by the [[Department of Defense (Alameda)|Department of Defense]], with chief power to remove the {{wpl|commander-in-chief}} given to the President. The Department of Defense has jurisdiction over the [[Alamedan Army]], the [[Alamedan Navy]] and the [[Alamedan Air Force]]. The [[Department of Public Administration (Alameda)|Department of Public Administration]] has jurisdiction over the [[Carabineros Nacionales de Alameda|National Carabiniers]] and the [[Gendarmeria Nacionales de Alameda|National Gendarmerie]]. Unlike the Department of Defense, the Department of Public Administration can be overruled by the Legislature of Alameda and control over the Carabiniers and Gendarmerie can be transferred to a committee established by the Senate.  


==History==
===Administrative Divisions===
{{Main article|History of Chenes}}
 
===Pre-Audonic History===
This section will serve to explain history of the Tsalagi before the introduction of the Audonic settlers. The general area this takes place is West Chenes with potential involvement of neighbors. Alongside this is a primary focus on the expansion of Tsalagi and their existence during the expansion of Chenes.
 
===Audonic Colonization===
This section will serve to explain history of the Audonics, a brief summary of their actions before leaving Belisaria and the afterwards sailing from any of the countries from Belisaria. The general area from there will be in East Chenes, specifically on the East Coast. Much of the colonization will further go into a large center, Ville de Augusta. Afterwards, different trade outposts will be set up along the East Chenes Coast and trading posts along the Sagadahoc network of roads.
 
===Augusta Convention & Penobscot Mercantile Revolution===
This section will serve to explain the Augusta Convention and the establishment of East Chenes. The cultural divide between the Sagadahoc-Chenique and the Maskwacis becomes more and more expanded, until the Penobscot Mercantile Revolution which serves to fully unify the Chenique and Sagadahoc as a single nation.
 
===War of Androscoggin-Étienne===
This section will serve as a brief explanation of the Maskwacis attack on the Chenes border as a reaction to what they believed to be a cultural invasion that violated the Agreement of Augusta, the only treaty that the Maskwacis, Sagadahoc and Chenique agreed to sign. Eventually the Maskwacis would attend the Penobscot Convention and the Penobscot Agreement as they began to lose different tribes in their alliance. They lost those allies to the Chenique and Sagadahoc during the war, and eventually they agreed to a ceasefire and seceded control and influence over several different eastern and central Tsalagi tribes.
 
===Golden Era of the Merle===
This section will serve as an explanation of the era, the Golden Era of the Merle, alternatively the Industrial Revolution.
 
===Asherionic Wars===
This section will serve as an explanation of Chenes during the Asherionic Wars and under Asherion's control. Under Asherion's control many of the Abenaki, Creole and Chenique communities suffered from the ordinances that were placed upon them, especially the Chenique.
 
===Reformative Era===
This section will serve as an explanation of Chenes in the aftermath of the collapse of Asherion's Empire. Much of Asherion's brief conquest embittered the Chenique and Creole factions who were subject to Asherion's relocation policy on children. Much of the Reformative Era is marked by quickly entering and exiting presidents, often without an election as Chenes attempts to reform their country.
 
==Geography==
===Physical Geography, Geology & Hydrology===
Chenes is bordered by Moxaney to the north, Awasin to the northwest, Mniohuta to the west, Gristol-Serkonos to the south, and the Thalassian Sea to the east. Chenes is divided primarily between [[West Chenes]] and [[East Chenes]]. West Chenes is divided into six states, while East Chenes is divided into twelve states.
===Climate===
 
===Flora & Fauna===
 
==Government & Politics==
===Government===
Chenes is a {{wpl|federation|federal republic}} that utilizes a [[Legislative-dependent system|legislative-dependent system]], similar to a {{wpl|semi-presidential system}} that awards more power to the [[Chenique Legislature]]. The Chenique government is divided into three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. These consist of the [[Statesman Congress]], led by the [[President of Chenes]]; the {{wpl|bicamerial}} [[Legislature of Chenes]], and the Supreme Court of Chenes. All branches of government are headquartered and operate within [[Ville de Augusta]] in the [[Government Square]]. The only exception to this is the [[House of Delegates (Chenes)|House of Delegates]] that operates with other government entities headquartered in the [[Merchants Square]].
 
Chenes has historically invested the legal powers of government into the legislative branch and is considered to be an identifying value within Chenique government and politics. The [[Augusta Assembly]] was the first legal assembly within the country until its transition into the [[Unified Assembly of Chenes]] after the signing of the [[Treaty of Oaks]] and the establishment of the [[Union of Chenes]]. Historically in Chenique political history, the government has operated under a {{wpl|two-party system}} until XXXX. The two politically dominant parties have been the Chenique-Wαpánahki aligned [[Société des Commerçants]] and the politically neutral [[Comité des Indépendants]]. The political alignment between these two parties has generally been fluid. A third party, the [[Alliance de l'Ouest]], rose in 1933 and turned the two-party system to a {{wpl|multi-party system}} and has orientated itself to aligning with the {{wpl|Cherokee|Anigiduwagi}}
 
The presidency of [[Jacques Champlain]] hosted the [[Penobscot Assembly]] after the [[1912 Election of Chenes]]. The [[1914 Constitution of Chenes]] was authored and signed during the Penobscot Assembly in response to the [[1908 Chenes Civil War]]. The 1914 Constitution establishes the current form of a federated government, allowing more autonomy from the newly created subdivisions of [[West Chenes]] and [[East Chenes]]. Alongside this, lower-division units were standardized from the previous system, creating subdivisions from the two areas into [[States of Chenes|states]] and subsequently into [[Departments of Chenes|Departments]]. Continuining the traditions passed from the Augusta Assembly, the 1914 Constitution retained the legislative-dependent system. However, this was tampered with more authority given over the governments of West Chenes and East Chenes, alongside more power over their individual states.
 
The [[Government of West Chenes]], typically referred to as the Quanassee Government, is governed tribally by ethnic {{wpl|Cherokee|Anigiduwagi}}. East Chenes is entirely bound to the 1914 Constitution of Chenes and is represented in the legislature by the [[General Assembly of Chenes|General Assembly]]. East Chenes is bound to the national executive branch, the [[Executive Council of Chenes|Executive Council]] and primarily consists of Chenique and Wαpánahki states. West Chenes governed by a tribal government, the [[Quanassee Government]].
 
===Legislature===
 
===Regional & State Government===
Chenes is divided into
 
====West Chenes====
West Chenes is an autonomous part of Chenes that makes up one of the two large administrative divisions of Chenes. West Chenes is still considered to be governed by the 1914 Constitution, but has its own legal document that determines the full stretch of its autonomy. The [[1915 Constitution of West Chenes]] is the full legal document that proscribes the powers of the autonomous division. West Chenes consists of the states of Quanassee, Sitigu, Talikwa, Esseneca, Chatuga, and Tuckasegee. All of these states are recognized to be ethnically and linguistically Tsalagi. West Chenes has been governed since the 1915 Constitution by the [[Government of Quanassee]]. 
===Administrative Division===
Chenes is divided between West Chenes and East Chenes. The borders between the two were determined by the Penobscot Assembly and are governed separately.  East Chenes is governed by the current government, and is subdivided by states. States do not have sovereignty but retain self-governship and are somewhat independent from the federal government. States are divided further into regions, and the subdivided into departments, which is the smallest level of local government. There are 18 different states, 12 states under the jurisdiction of East Chenes and 6 states under the jurisdiction of West Chenes.

===Literature===
Alameda from its inception has been a cultural fusion of [[Alamedines]], {{wpl|Muscogee}} and {{wpl|Cherokee|Anigiduwagi}} culture with significant influence from Belisarian settlers. Modern Alamedan culture consists of Alamedine and Muscogee culture, with Anigiduwagi culture being more prevalent in West Alameda than East Alameda. Much of its architecture and city construction takes from various Belisarian cultures with Muscogee elements. In the aftermath of the Asherionic occupation of Alameda, Alamedine and Muscogee cultures have taken the forefront of Alameda's mixtures with many Anigiduwagi influences often being ignored. Alameda's [[Department of Culture (Alameda)|Department of Culture]] is responsible for the promotion of Alamedan architecture, art, cuisine, cinema, dance, literature, history, and music.

Historically, Alameda has stuck out as an odd country within Norumbria for its culture. It is the only country within the entire continent to speak Garzan and one of the few to have promoted the idea of cultural intermingling between Belisarian settlers and the Muscogee natives. After the East Alamedan Annexation of Anigiduwagi lands, the [[Alamedine-Muscogee Renaissance]] occured between 1840 to 1929, which saw the promotion of Alamedine and Muscogee culture in the country.

Alameda, formally the Democratic Republic of Alameda (Alamedan: República Democrática del Alameda) is a sovereign nation located in Norumbia. It borders the countries of Rökkurlynd and Awasin to the north, Mniohuta to the west and Gristol-Serkonos to the south. Its eastern coastline leads to the North Thalassan Sea. The capital of Alameda is Cuidad Augusto and the largest city is Hortensia. Alameda has been historically defined into two Grand Divisions, West Alameda and East Alameda. These two areas are politically, culturally, economically and linguistically distinct. The population of Alameda is approximately 19.7 million people, with around 72% of which live in East Alameda. Alameda is a multi-cultural country, and has four constitutionally recognized constituent groups: Alamedines, Chuscos, Muskogee and Anigiduwagi.

Alameda has been inhabited since the last ice age, with evidence of habitation dating back to 10,000 B.C.E. Alameda is considered to be the homeland of two indigenous Norumbrian groups: the Serkonian Anigiduwagi and the Muscogeans. Both of these groups have settled across Alameda, and have since utilized a formal tribal system. This tribal system defined the two large and influential Great Tribes and the various Lesser Tribes scattered throughout the country. Since the 12th century, the two Great Tribes were the Muscogean Tallapoosa tribe and the Anigiduwagi Qanasi tribe. The political tension has existed and the two have been historical enemies. The last war between the two ended in 1824, after the Third Tallapoosa-Qanasi War, though tensions between the two remains at large, since the 1975 West Alamedan Riots.

Alameda was one of the few Garzan colonies in Norumbia, founded as the Province of New Augusta and later reformed as the Province of the New Frontier. Chartered and established by the Western Garzan-Latium Company, the province was centered at the city of Costa de Augusta. New settlers primarily spoke Garzan, which eventually became the lingua franca. The new colonial province and its settlers were initially welcomed by the Muscogean tribe of Coosa and would later forge a mutually beneficial alliance with the Tallapoosa.

Alameda entered a long period of warfare, known locally as the La Liberacion. This began when Alameda was occupied in 1805, and continued for 25 years during the Alamedan Wars of Independence.

Etymology

"Alameda" as a name can be traced to the poem, Niños de Roble by Rosalía Castellanos that was published in 1672 in the colony. The name itself derives Castellanos admiration at the Muscogee's complex system of trails and roads that extended throughout East Alameda. During the time, the colonial province was looking for a new name to replace the name New Frontier. Settlers at the time felt that the name New Frontier related closer to the colonial company's identity over the settler's new identity intermingled with the Muscogee.

Government

The Republic of Alameda and its constitution were initially drafted by the Alamedine-Muscogee Free Government in 1807, and was eventually signed in 1830 at the end of the Independence War. Alameda is a Federal Presidential Republic under the constitution. Alameda has was founded and has been governed under the principles of Alamedine-Muscogean Concordance, which dictated much of its early legal principles.

Alameda shares land borders with Mniohuta to the west across the Osowanon Mountains as well as a small border with Awasin to the northwest; Gristol-Serkonos to the south; and Rökkurlynd to the north. It maintains a maritime border with Rökkurlynd across the Magellan Channel with the Rökkurlynd Archipelago.

Culture

Main article: Culture of Alameda

Alameda from its inception has been a cultural fusion of Alamedines, Muscogee and Anigiduwagi culture with significant influence from Belisarian settlers. Modern Alamedan culture consists of Alamedine and Muscogee culture, with Anigiduwagi culture being more prevalent in West Alameda than East Alameda. Much of its architecture and city construction takes from various Belisarian cultures with Muscogee elements. In the aftermath of the Asherionic occupation of Alameda, Alamedine and Muscogee cultures have taken the forefront of Alameda's mixtures with many Anigiduwagi influences often being ignored. Alameda's Department of Culture is responsible for the promotion of Alamedan architecture, art, cuisine, cinema, dance, literature, history, and music.

Historically, Alameda has stuck out as an odd country within Norumbria for its culture. It is the only country within the entire continent to speak Garzan and one of the few to have promoted the idea of cultural intermingling between Belisarian settlers and the Muscogee natives. After the East Alamedan Annexation of Anigiduwagi lands, the Alamedine-Muscogee Renaissance occured between 1840 to 1929, which saw the promotion of Alamedine and Muscogee culture in the country.
