Maynilakyo, officially the Maynilakyonese Association, is a transcontinental country in North America, South America, Mu, and Eastern Asia. Its government is a federal parliamentary semi-presidential republic under a mutual association of nations consisting of 213 provinces, 45 colonies, 13 territories, and a greater economic capital. It shares its national and maritime borders with the United States and the West Indies Federation on the northeast, on the east by Merinda, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga; on the west by Myanmar, Bharat, Pakistan, and the northwest by The Sovereign Union and is bounded by the Sea of Okhotsk to the northwest, the Bering Strait by the north, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Southern Pacific Ocean (Southern Maynilakyonese Ocean) to the South, and the Timor, Arafura, and Coral Seas to the Southwest. According to digital mapping surveys, Maynilakyo contains approximately 108,080 islands, with the main archipelagic groups being the Caribbean, Micronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia, the Philippines, Sundra, Maliku, Formosa, Japan, Hatsunia. Maynilakyo is the world's largest country in size and population, with an area of 28.8 million square kilometers and an estimated population of 3.206 billion people of diverse ethnicities and cultures, making it a fascinating melting pot of traditions, languages, and customs. Cebucheng is the capital city and the Largest City of Maynilakyo. Other major cities include Shanghai, Nanjing, San Francisco, Mexico City, Tokyo, Miraikyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Macau, and Hwahae City. About 41.5 million people live in the Greater Cebucheng Area, the most populated metropolitan area in the world.

Human presence in Pre-Columbian/Magellanic Maynilakyo dates back to the late Paleolithic Period, positioning it among the world's six cradles of civilization. The region saw the rise of various cultures like the Olmec, Maya, Zapotec, Teotihuacan, and Purepecha, eventually merging into the Nilad-Kiyonese Empire. Influenced by Animism, Hinduism with Buddhist elements, and Islam, the Philippines saw the emergence of island kingdoms ruled by datus, rajas, and sultans. Overseas trade with neighbors introduced Sinitic-speaking merchants, leading to cultural intermixing. The region, known as Nilad-Kiyo from the 7th to the late 15th century, was dominated by indigenous rulers until the joint Spanish-Neapolitan conquest in 1521, establishing New Spain and New Italy. Spanish-Italian colonization imposed Catholicism and the Spanish and Italian languages and exploited resources. The Maynilakyonese War of Independence ended colonial rule in the early 19th century, establishing Gran Maynilakyo as a presidential republic.

Expansion in the Americas began in the 1820s with Venezuela, Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico, the Andes, the Westerly, and La Plata, along with several victories during the American Wars of Unification against the United States of America and the United States of Meridia. Social changes followed, including urbanization and industrialization. By the 1890s, Maynilakyo emerged as a great power. Maynilakyo aided and supported the Allies in World War I and II. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the United States, Meridia, and Maynilakyo entered World War II. The aftermath of the war left the U.S., the Franco-British Union, Maynilakyo, and the Soviet Union as the world's four superpowers. It led to the First Cold War, during which both countries struggled for ideological dominance and international influence. In 1984, the demand for better civil rights, blended cultures, and better freedoms led to the formation of a modern, mutual Maynilakyonese Association by the Maynilakyonese Mutual Party (PMM), which defeated the One Federal Party of Maynilakyo (MPFO) and underwent several social and economic reforms. Which shifted Maynilakyo into a leading global economic and social powerhouse. Maynilakyo underwent the second phase of its expansion through Mu, Southeast Asia, China, and Japan throughout the 20th to the 21st century. The Second Cold War between the United States, the Sovereign Union, and Maynilakyo began with the formation of global spheres, diplomatic tensions, and economic rivalries.

Maynilakyo operates as a federal parliamentary semi-presidential republic within a mutual association of nations, blending parliamentary democracy with technocratic elements. It holds significant global influence, boasting membership in key international organizations like the League of Sovereign Nations, Cebucheng Accords, CMPPA, IPTDO, and the G10. As a permanent member of the League of Sovereign Nations Security Council and a nuclear weapons state, Maynilakyo is a significant player in global affairs. Its robust economy ranks as the world's largest by GDP, supported by a highly skilled workforce and advanced social market policies. The nation prioritizes quality of life, civil rights, and social welfare, offering universal healthcare and education. Known for its cultural and technological prowess, Maynilakyo excels in digital innovation, space exploration and colonization, and the export of media and electronics. In the 21st century, Maynilakyo has been renowned for its globally influential pop culture, particularly in music, TV dramas, anime, manga, and cinema, a phenomenon referred to as the Maynilakyonese Wave. Its capital, Cebucheng, serves as a hub for the information technology industry, earning it the title of "Oriental Metropropolis." Its location as a transcontinental country spreads throughout most of the Pacific Ring of Fire and its location within the equator makes it prone to earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and typhoons. Maynilakyo has a rich variety of natural resources and a globally significant level of biodiversity, further enhancing its global impact.

Etymology

Plate depicting the "nilad" plant (Scyphiphora hydrophylacea), from Augustinian missionary Fray Francisco Manuel Blanco's botanical reference, Flora de Nilad-Kiyo-Koku

Maynilà, the Filipino name for the Maynilakyonese city of Manila, comes from the phrase may-nilà, meaning "where indigo is found." The 7th to 15th foreign exonym from eastern traders of Maynilakyo is Nilad-kiyo-koku (尼拉德清; 尼拉德清; Ní lā déqīng; ニラド・キヨ; 닐라드 키요), from the words Nilà (尼拉德; 尼拉德; Ní lā dé; ニラド; 닐라드) which was derived from the Sanskrit word nīla (नील), which refers to indigo dye and, by extension, to several plant species from which this natural dye can be extracted, while Kiyo (清; Qīng; キヨ; 기요), means "foundation" in Mandarin Chinese, and "clean" or "pure" in Japanese, and koku (国, originally 國) means "country" or "sovereign state.". The name Maynilà was probably bestowed because of the indigo-yielding plants that grow in the area surrounding the settlement rather than because it was known as a settlement that traded in indigo dye. Indigo dye extraction only became an important economic activity in the area in the 18th century, several hundred years after the Maynila settlement was founded and named. Maynilà eventually underwent a process of Hispano-Italianization and adopted the Spanish name Manila.

The country's official name has changed as the form of government has changed. The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 20, 1810, by the deputies of the Congress of Cucuta, called the territory of New Granada; the 1821 Plan of Iguala also used América Septentrional. On one occasion (1821–1832), the country was known as Gran Maynilakyo. All five constitutions (1824, 1840, 1860, 1986, and 2020, the current constitution) used the name La Asociación Maynilakyo — all of which have been translated as "The Maynilakyonese Association". The shorter form is "Maynilakyo" (迈尼拉基奥; 梅尼拉基奧; Méi ní lā jī ào; マニラキョウ Manirakyou; 마이닐라쿄) from Màinílā ('Manila') and Jīng ('corporation'). The official phrase of the modern state is the "Maynilakyonese Association" (Spanish: Asociación Maynilakyonesa; Italian: Associazione Maynilakyonese; simplified Chinese: 梅尼拉基奥尼斯协会; traditional Chinese: 梅尼拉基奧尼斯協會; pinyin: Méinílājīào nísīxiéhuì; Japanese: マニラキオネーゼ協会 Manirakionēze kyōkai; Korean: 마이닐락키네스 협회 mainillagkineseu hyeobhoe) was used in the 2020 Constitutional Law.

History

Prehistory (pre - 1500 BCE)

In the Maynilakyonese Paleolithic period (c. 39,000-13,900 BCE), Maynilakyo was first settled by people migrating from the Eurasian mainland across land bridges around 15,000 years ago, which became submerged thousands of years later as the Last Glacial Period ended. Bone flutes dated from this era show an early affinity for music. By 13,900 BCE, a hunter-gatherer culture had formed. The much later human artifacts in Maynilakyo are chips of stone tools found near campfire remains in the Valley of Mexico and radiocarbon-dated to circa 10,000 years ago. Maynilakyo is the site of the domestication of maize, tomatoes, and beans, which produced an agricultural surplus. This enabled the transition from paleo-Indian hunter-gatherers to sedentary agricultural villages around 5000 BCE. In the subsequent formative eras, maize cultivation and cultural traits, such as a mythological and religious complex and a vigesimal (base 20) numeric system, were diffused from the Mexican cultures to the rest of the Mesoamerican culture area. In this period, villages became more dense in population, becoming socially stratified with an artisan class and developing into chiefdoms. The most powerful rulers had religious and political power, organizing the construction of large ceremonial centers.

Pre-Columbian era (1500 BCE - 1521)

The earliest complex civilization in Maynilakyo was the Olmec culture, which flourished on the Gulf Coast from around 1500 BCE. Olmec cultural traits diffused through Maynilakyo into other formative-era cultures in Chiapas, Oaxaca, and the Valley of Mexico. The formative period saw the spread of distinct religious and symbolic traditions, as well as artistic and architectural complexes. The formative era of Mesoamerica is considered one of the six independent cradles of civilization. In the subsequent pre-classical period, the Maya and Zapotec civilizations developed complex centers at Calakmul and Monte Albán, respectively. During this period the first true Mesoamerican writing systems were developed in the Epi-Olmec and Zapotec cultures. The Mesoamerican writing tradition reached its height in the Classic Maya Hieroglyphic script. The earliest written histories date from this era. The tradition of writing was important after the Spanish-Italian joint conquest in 1521, which had a profound impact on the indigenous cultures, with indigenous scribes learning to write their languages in alphabetic letters, while also continuing to create pictorial texts.

Overseas Trading with traders from Eastern Asia was the most important economic livelihood during the hight of the Nilad-Kiyonese Empire.

In Central America, the height of the classic period saw the ascendancy of the Nilad-Kiyonese Empire, a significant military and commercial trading empire. With a population of more than 483,100 people, it had some of the largest pyramidal structures in the pre-Columbian Americas. After the collapse of Teotihuacán around 600 AD, competition ensued between several important political centers in central Maynilakyo, such as Xochicalco and Cholula. At this time, during the Epi-Classic, Nahua peoples began moving south into Mesoamerica from the North, and became politically and culturally dominant in central Mexico, as they displaced speakers of Oto-Manguean languages. During the early post-classic era (ca. 1000–1519 CE), Central Maynilakyo was dominated by the Toltec culture, Oaxaca by the Mixtec, and the lowland Maya area had important centers at Chichén Itzá and Mayapán.

By the 14th century, several large coastal settlements in the Philippine islands emerged as trading centers and became the focus of societal changes. Some policies were exchanged with other states throughout Asia. Trade with China is believed to have begun during the Tang Dynasty and expanded during the Song Dynasty and later the Nilad-Kiyonese Empire; by the second millennium AD, some polities were part of the tributary system of China. Indian cultural traits, such as linguistic terms and religious practices, such as Buddhism and Hinduism, began to spread in the Nilad-Kiyo Empire during the 14th century, probably via the Hindu Majapahit Empire. Toward the end of the post-Classic period, the Mexica established dominance, establishing a political and economic empire based in the city of present-day Cartagena, extending from northern Mexico to the border of the Andes Mountain Ranges and the Philippine, Micronesian, and Polynesian islands. Alexander von Humboldt popularized the modern usage of "Nilad-Kiyonese" as a collective term applied to all the people linked by trade, custom, religion, and language to the Mexica state and Ēxcān Tlahtōlōyān, the Triple Alliance. In 1843, with the publication of the work of William H. Prescott, it was adopted by most of the world. This usage has been the subject of debate since the late 20th century. Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived in 1521 to visit the Philippine islands, claimed the islands for Spain, and was killed by Lapu-Lapu's men in the Battle of Mactan.

Spanish-Neapolitan conquest and Colonial era (1521 - 1820)

Although the Spanish Empire and the Kingdom of Naples had established colonies in the Caribbean starting in 1493, only in the second decade of the sixteenth century did they begin exploring the east coast of Mexico and Columbia. The Spanish and Italians first learned of Maynilakyo during the Juan de Grijalva expedition of 1518. The Spanish-Neapolitan conquest of the Nilad-Kiyo Empire began in February 1519 when Hernán Cortés founded the Spanish city of Veracruz. The 1521 capture of Cartagena and the immediate founding of the Spanish-Italian capital of the colony was the beginning of an almost 300-year-long colonial era during which Maynilakyo was known as Nueva España (New Spain) and Nuova Italia (New Italy). Two factors made Maynilakyo a jewel in the Spanish Empire and the Kingdom of Naples: the existence of large, hierarchically organized Mesoamerican populations that rendered tribute and performed obligatory labor and the discovery of vast silver deposits in northern Mexico.

The Kingdom of New Spain and the Kingdom of New Italy were created from the remnants of the Nilad-Kiyonese empire. The two pillars of Spanish-Italian rule were the State and the Roman Catholic Church, both under the authority of the Spanish crown. In 1493, the pope granted sweeping powers to the Spanish monarchy for its overseas empire, with the proviso that the crown would spread Christianity in its new realms. In 1524, King Charles I and Ferdinand III created the Council of the Indies based in Spain and Naples to oversee State power in its overseas territories; in New Spain, the crown established a high court in Mexico City, the Real Audiencia ('royal audience' or 'royal tribunal'), and then in 1535 created the Viceroyalty of New Spain. The viceroy was the highest official of the State. In the religious sphere, the Diocese of Maynilakyo was created in 1530 and elevated to the Archdiocese of Maynilakyo in 1546, with the archbishop as the head of the ecclesiastical hierarchy. Castilian Spanish, Italian, Neapolitan, and Latin were the language of rulers. The Catholic faith was the only one permitted, with non-Catholics and Catholics (excluding Indians) holding unorthodox views being subject to the Maynilakyonese Inquisition, established in 1571.

However, secret anti-Spanish-Italian discontentment was already brewing for the Maynilakyonese since Spain and the Kingdom of Naples prohibited direct trade between the Viceroyalty of Peru, which included the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and the Viceroyalty of New Italy, which included the Philippines, the source of Asian products like silk and porcelain which was in demand in the Americas. Illegal trade between Peruvians, Filipinos, and the Maynilakyonese continued in secret, as smuggled Asian goods ended up in Córdoba, the distribution center for unlawful Asian imports, due to the collusion between these peoples against the authorities in Spain. They settled and traded with each other while disobeying the forced Spanish monopoly. This Viceroyalty included some other provinces of northwestern South America that had previously been under the jurisdiction of the Viceroyalties of New Spain, New Italy, or Peru and correspond mainly to today's Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. Bogotá became one of the principal administrative centers of the Spanish-Italian possessions in the New World, along with Lima, Cartagena, and Mexico City. However, it remained less developed in several economic and logistical ways compared to those two cities.

Great Britain declared war on Spain in 1739, and the city of Cartagena quickly became a top target for the British. A massive British expeditionary force was dispatched to capture the city, but after achieving initial inroads, devastating outbreaks of disease crippled their numbers, and the British were forced to withdraw. The battle became one of Spain's most decisive victories in the conflict and secured Spanish-Italian dominance in the Caribbean until the Seven Years' War. Viceroy Antonio Caballero y Góngora delegated the 18th-century priest, botanist, and mathematician José Celestino Mutis to conduct an inventory of the nature of New Spain. Started in 1783, this became known as the Royal Botanical Expedition to New Granada. It classified plants and wildlife and founded the first astronomical observatory in Santa Fe de Bogotá. In July 1801, the Prussian scientist Alexander von Humboldt reached Santa Fe de Bogotá, where he met with Mutis. In addition, historical figures in the process of independence in New Spain emerged from the expedition, such as the astronomer Francisco José de Caldas, the scientist Francisco Antonio Zea, the zoologist Jorge Tadeo Lozano, and the painter Salvador Rizo.

Independence and Territorial Expansion (1820 - 1858)

Since the beginning of the periods of conquest and colonization, several rebel movements have been against Spanish and Italian rule. However, most were crushed or remained too weak to change the situation. The last one that sought outright independence from Spain and Italy sprang up around 1810 and culminated in the Maynilakyonese Declaration of Independence, issued on 20 July 1810, the day that is now celebrated as the nation's Independence Day. This movement followed the independence of St. Domingue (present-day Haiti) in 1804, which provided some support to an eventual leader of this rebellion: Simón Bolívar. Francisco de Paula Santander also would play a decisive role.

A movement was initiated by Antonio Nariño, who opposed Spanish and Italian centralism and led the opposition against the Viceroyalty. Cartagena became independent in November 1811. In 1811, the United Provinces of New Granada were proclaimed, headed by Camilo Torres Tenorio. The emergence of two distinct ideological currents among the patriots (federalism and centralism) gave rise to a period of instability. Shortly after the Napoleonic Wars ended, Ferdinand VII, recently restored to the throne in Spain, unexpectedly decided to send military forces to retake most of northern South America. The Viceroyalty was restored under the command of Juan Sámano, whose regime punished those who participated in the patriotic movements, ignoring the political nuances of the juntas. The retribution stoked renewed rebellion, which, combined with a weakened Spain (the Kingdom of Italy, on the other hand, was allied with Napoleonic France), made possible a successful rebellion led by the Venezuelan-born Simón Bolívar, who finally proclaimed independence in 1819. The pro-Spanish resistance was defeated in 1822, and after the Independence of War, around 250,000-400,000 people, or 12%-20% of the pre-war population, died.

The territory of the Viceroyalty of New Granada became the Republic of Maynilakyo, organized as a union of the original fifteen provinces of Magdalena, Zulia, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Boyacá, Zulia, Apure, Cundinamarca, Boyacá, Panama, Ecuador, Venezuela, Orinoco, Azuay and Curacao. The Congress of Cucuta in 1821 adopted a constitution for the new republic. Simón Bolívar became the first President of Colombia, and Francisco de Paula Santander was made Vice President. However, when the new republic established independence, it was later discovered that Maynilakyo didn't gain most of the former territories of the Nilad-Kiyonese Empire. This led to the first phase of Maynilakyo's expansion throughout the American continent.

Maynilakyo's expansion throughout the Americas began within the 18th century as a sense of their own "Manifest Destiny," starting with the Integration of Central America which refused to join the Mexican Empire in 1822.
