Ehoway (Tuskish: Ihøwæ), officially the Republic of Ehoway (Tuskish: Republikken Ihøwæ) is a country in northern Newfoundland covering the island of X and the Leifjord archipelago. Ehoway covers an area of Xkm² (X sq mi) making it the Xth largest country in the world and the largest in Newfoundland in terms of population and land area. It is also the xth largest country in the world in terms of land area and the xth largest in terms of population. It shares no land borders with other countries, it is neighboured by the X sea in the north, the X ocean in the east, X and the X sea in the south and X and the X ocean in the west. The country is a unitary state but is divided into 15 semi-autonomous states including the capital Akavik. Alongside these states the country recognises numerous autonomous native nations as special autonomous administrative divisions has relinquished limited amounts of authority over select issues to these nations. The largest city in Ehoway is Nytslot; other important urban areas in Ehoway include Elostrøm, Langstrand, Monsiyok, Ipsen, Sekakawon, Dallhavn, Højbakke, Vojens and Farsø.

The first recorded human inhabitation of Ehoway comes from approximately 20,000 BCE and spread across modern-day Ehoway and formed unique and semi-advanced societies and cultures such as the Wayuwa state in north-eastern Ehoway. Eurika-Hallanians arrived in the region in the late 15th century and the first permanent colonies were established by Tuskval which later formed the colony of Tuskish Newfoundland. TBD colonial history

The 1934 Ehowan coup d'état overthrew the First Republic of Ehoway and installed a military junta which lasted until the return of democracy in 1943. The political violence associated with the military junta did little to stabilise the economy which continued it's decline until 1954 under the Trepartssystem ("Tripartite system") which introduced economic and social reforms which saw the country enter a period of gradual recovery and stability. The Trepartssystem governed Ehoway from 1943 until it's fall in 1999 during the økopetrol scandal. In response to the scandal and economic stagnation strict neoliberal economic measures were introduced by in 2000, over the following years the country's historically strong welfare state was dismantled although the country enjoyed a period of prolonged economic growth which ended with the Redevelopment crash of 2012 which left the country suffering from massive amounts of inflation and economic inequality. Since 1999 international observers and reports have claimed Ehoway is undergoing democratic backsliding as a result of governmental control of the media and electoral process.

Ehoway is considered to be a regional and emerging power in Newfoundland and world affairs. The country has a developing country and the Xth largest GDP in the world and the largest in Newfoundland. It also has a very high Human Development Index score and has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. However the country also suffers from high amounts of income inequality and has one of the highest scores on the gini coefficient, the country also struggles from a high rate of inflation since the redevelopment crash. Ehoway maintains an active and non-interventionary role in foreign affairs and is a member of the X, X, X, X, X, and X.

There are X major national networks in Ehoway, TViho is the nation's public broadcaster and was founded in 1944 to provide television services to rural areas, since 2002 TViho has been accused of having a pro-government bias and is currently being boycotted by anti-government supporters which has effected operations for the broadcaster.

Sports

Korset is the official national sport of Ehoway

Organised modern sporting events were first organised in Ehoway in the 1780s, these first organised events later developed into modern sporting fixtures. Sports culture in Ehoway is unique and distinct from sporting culture in Hallania due to influences from other cultures and groups in Ehoway during the colonial era that influenced Ehowan culture and society in general. Various sports have originated from Ehoway such as Baseball, Basketball and Volleyball all originated from Ehoway during the 19th century and were later popularised globally.

Throughout most of Ehoway's history, Korset has been the most popular sporting event and has been the official national sport of Ehoway since 1965. The National Korset League, also known as Ihokors, is the largest national premier sporting league in Ehoway and Newfoundland which attracts millions of viewers each year. The 2017 Ihokors final set a record for most viewers of a sporting event in Ehoway after it attracted 21.8 million viewers in Ehoway, approximately one-half of the enitre population of Ehoway at the time and many more abroad. The Ehoway men's national korset team has been ranked as the world number 1 team several times and is currently ranked as the number 1 team as of 2020.

The second most popular sport in Ehoway is Kofod which developed during the colonial era which is also sometimes referred to as an official sport although it remains less popular than Korset which has led to a domestic heated rivalry between Kofod and Korest fans. The Unitary Ehowan Kofod League, or UIKL, is the major premier Kofod sporting league in Ehoway and is the second most watched domestic sporting league after Ihokors and routinely brings in millions of viewers during important fixtures. Kofod football remains most popular in Southern Ehoway whilst Korset is most popular in northern and western Ehoway due to influences from indigenous people and regional cultural differences. Other major premier sporting leagues exist in Ehoway to a lesser degree such as the First League for Association football, the Thygesen Championship for Baseball and the FNBD for Basketball all are popular sporting leagues in Ehoway.
