The Empire of the New Kayamucha (Kayasimi: Musuq Kayamucha Qhapaq Suyu), colloquially known as Kayahallpa, is a multi-ethnic empire in Ajax located in western Oxidentale bordering Mutul to its north, Sante Reze in the east, Zacapizcan to the south-east and the Makria Ocean to the west. The administrative, political and military center of the empire is in its capital, the vast and ancient metropolis of Tupawasi located in the Qullqaquyllur highlands. In addition to Tupawasi, the upper organs of state also spend parts of the year in Mayunrispampa and Huirquihui in the country's north and south, respectively.

The sovereign state of Kayahallpa is a centralized absolute monarchy ruled by a Sapa Inka and primarily divided into 21 Suyu departments. It is a developing country with medium-high human development levels and a growing economy. A megadiverse country, much of the country is arid, with large plateaus and mountain ranges covering most of its land area. While the country has a long coastline, much of it is sparsely populated desert, occasionally broken up by heavily populated river basins and mist oases. At 1.412 million square kilometers in area, it is the third largest country in Oxidentale.

The country's population of over 60 million people shows a remarkable degree of diversity, mostly native Oxidentalese groups. Kayasimi is the official language for empire-wide communication, but it is spoken natively by less than 30% of citizens. More than 40 different ethnic groups originate from Kayahallpa, glued together by an extensive shared pan-imperial culture promulgated by the government. The state actively encourages its subjects to worship their ruler as a deity descended from Wiraqucha, a creator deity with traditions in many local belief systems. Unlike in the Mutul, however, freedom of religion exists and religious syncretism is common.

The modern empire was founded around 1365 CE after Runakuna people fleeing the socio-economic collapse of the Kayamuca Empire from the north established a kingdom in the area. Through both diplomatic and hostile means, they gradually superseded the preexisting political entities in the area. The establishment of the imperial capital in Tupawasi in 1434 is generally considered the foundation of the Musuq Kayamucha, viewed as a rebirth of the fallen Kayamucan Empire by its founders. The golden age of the Musuq Kayamucha lasted until the advent of the 17th century, when the rise of the Mutuleses colonial empire brought with it incursions into the Kayahallpan coast. A concoction of factors brought Kayan power into a steep decline which lasted until the late 1700s, and the former empire was reduced to a small kingdom. In 1799, ruler Tupaq Churan began the first of many reconquests of former Kayan imperial lands, and brought Kayahallpa into direct conflict with the Mutul and Zacapizcan polities. These wars would continue on and off for a century, after which the boundaries of Kayahallpa have remained the same. Modern developments have centered mostly around encouraging economic growth, modernizing the administration and cultivating strong relations with other nations.


Etymology

The origin of Kayahallpa's common names come from the name of the Kayamuca Empire, an historical empire located in northern Oxidentale and southern Norumbia, combined with the Kayasimi word for land, hallpa. This term was coined by Runakuna settlers for their new state, reminiscing the society they came from. The official name of the state is Musuq Kayamucha Qhapaq Suyu, essentially meaning "the new Kayamucan Empire", coined and used almost exclusively by the government. The country is also often known internally by an old name preceding the Runakuna's arrival, Wari, chiefly by its non-Runakuna majority.

History

Prehistory and Early Imperial Period

Traces of human settlement date back to the prehistoric settling of Oxidentale. Kayahallpa's modern territory has featured several ancient cultures since the 4th millennia BCE, when the Chincha civilization arose as one of the cradles of civilization.

The First Campaigns

By the 19th century, Kaya rule was constricted to the Qullqaquyllur Highlands around Tupawasi. The ascension of Tupaq Churan in 1796 marked a turning point when he successfully exploited a civil war in the Apa kingdom, invading it in 1799. In 1803, a military expedition led to the capture of the strategical mountain crossing by the city of Urinpukara. Tupaq Churan's armies would then go on to rapidly conquer the rest of Central Kayahallpa, besieging and occupying Chuliruchu in 1818-1821. The attack on this city, which was under the protection of the Mutul sparked the first Kayan-Mutulese War. Tupaq Churan would die in 1829, but not before also launching the first Mapudun Wars, a three-way conflict between the Musuq Kayamucha, all of the native Mapuche states, and Zacapizcan.

Government and politics

Kayahallpa is an absolute monarchy: The Sapa Inka is not only the head of state, but also the head of government, and holds ownership of the entire nation's means of production. All acts, rituals, issues and matters of government are viewed through and handled in the context of traditional Kaya religion, with the country usually also classified as a theocracy. No political parties or national elections are permitted. It has an uncodified constitution that draws on a wide range of royal decrees, local religious practices, and Warintin Thought, the proclaimed "Kaya Path to Social Progress and Harmony". It is viewed by critics as a totalitarian dictatorship.

The Sapa Inka is the physical concentration of all imperial authority and is the legal title holder of every governmental position; the actual servants of any title are referred to as an "Official Actor in His Name". There is no national legislature, supreme court or separation of powers. Government interference into private life is "categorically all-consuming, ever-pervasive and never-interrupting" (Gaius, 2009).

The empire is divided into 21 first-level administrative suyu, which may be divided into either hallpan kiti, centrally controlled from Tupawasi, or rimaq kiti, controlled by their own local leadership. There are also 10 kacharisqa llaqta, independent cities not part of any suyu. The Sapa Inka retains the right to absolute authority in all regions and can dispose of any government official as he pleases, though this is rarely done in the rimaq suyu. Prior to the advent of modern transportation equipment, this dual system was largely employed to effectively administer regions when they were far away from the Sapa Inka's army. Nowadays rimaq suyu status as been massively curtailed, and is mostly used as a form of reward towards local administrators that have displayed absolute loyalty to the state.
