The People's Republic of Chilicxqua or Chilicxqua is a relatively young nation situated in the northmost region of the continent of Abyalaa on Septentrion. The state's territory is recognized as having borders with the states of Idacua, Federiko, and Tawantinsuyu, and possesses a small coastline situated within a large bay area, which opens out into the Meridian Ocean, providing the state with an outlet to the outside world. Chilicxqua is particularly large, lording over an area of [TBD] square kilometers, [TBD] square kilometers if counting the intricate network of waterways that girdle the northern half of the country and grace parts of the southern desert. The nation itself has a population of over 44,127,156 people, as the census had recorded in 2018, with a grand majority of these people living in the lush northern part of the country. It's capital city of Cilimanca sits on the western edge of the great Vilaaca Delta, with a population as estimated in 2015 to be around 5,250,100 people, making it the largest city in the entire country by a large margin. With a nominal gross domestic product of $368,550,162,250 in 2017, the 'PRCh' is not the largest economy in Septentrion, but it is not the smallest or most hollow in it's growth.
Etymology
The country's name as it is now comes from the 20th century 'Chilica Libertad' movement in the 1912, where Chilica ethno-nationalist, Jose Manuel Juárez, coined the term as a way to 'better describe this nation'. Ofcourse, Chilicxqua is a melting pot of different aboriginal tribes and ethnicities, but the Chilica tribe remained the largest and most prominent before and especially after Sylvan colonial rule. 'Chilic-' is a common demonym for the Chilica people and '-qua' is Latin that means 'where' or 'which way'. Combined, Chilicxqua is considered to mean 'where the Chilica reside'. The name was picked up by independence movements in the late 40s after the Pan Septentrion War and it stuck once independence was finally achieved in the mid-1970s.
History
Pre-history
Archaeological expeditions in the Vilaaca Delta have turned up evidence of extensive agriculture in the northern to central part of the Vilaaca Delta, some of which date as early as 5100 BC. Evidence of agriculture south of the delta come close chronologically, with pottery for plant oils found to be from as early as 4900 BC. Evidence of intricate metalworking with copper were found in the form of jewelry, arrowheads and some primitive religious artifacts, dated as early 2100 BC. Many of these artifacts were found often on isolated island villages, which were walled using a combination of packed dirt, discarded shellfish, and general trash, with some even containing the remains of the dead. Wrecks of large log canoes in mudbogs near certain villages, plus accompanying pottery and jewelry, indicate trade was common between the villages, and maybe even beyond, as the same general 'industry' of canoes are found further south down the Vilaaca River. Underwater digs has revealed that the ancient Chilica people and other cultures in the area in pre-history commonly made landfills from construction garbage, 'midden' and dirt from villages upstream. Either for farmland or expanding space, few of these landfills survive today as erosion eventually wore thin their sturdiness, aswell as a lack of maintenance as their villages were either abandoned in favor of later consolidation of populations in polities or to their death by disease.
Starting in 2700 BC, a massive migration south from the Vilaaca Delta started. Reasons theorized by modern archaeologists and anthropologists suggest a mix of environmental concerns, like the Vilaaca possibly having a particularly bad flood, and cultural disputes, with many of these villages having completely different artifacts and religious materia from those in the Delta. Many of these villages going into the south were far more spread out than those in the Delta, despite having more land to settle upon, and the migration seemed to continue until the southern tip of modern Chilicxqua, where the desert begins. In particular, archaeological digs around Chowvá reveal that the Chowvásaa Valley may infact be the origin point of the modern Chilica culture that has been adopted by the nation at present, with similar, yet more 'primitive' forms of cultural artifacts prevalent in the modern culture, such as the Golden Path recovered in the Chowvá River in 1967.
