The Serenacy of Cárinansia, commonly called Cárinansia, Lekeadia, or Askihuac, is a Federal Presidential Democracy in South Oikoia. It is bordered on the north by Valorá, on and along the south and west by Maharlika, boarded on all other by sides by the Ganacier Ocean and Lekeadian Sea. Cárinansia covers 2,027,628 square kilometres and has an estimated population of around 98 million people in 2039. It is comprised of 16 states and 1 Federal District which is home to the national capital. Cárinansia is a member of the South Oikoian Security Treaty Organsation, Anti-Wexfordian Coalition, United Nations, and Latin Congress.

Etymology

The name 'Cárinansia' is a bastardisation of the Mexal terms 'coztic teocuitla oztotl' (gold miner) and 'xallalli' (sandy land). Its first recorded usage was in the 18th Century by the Indigenous Revivalists seeking to establish their own national identity separate from that of Arcadia. It was in reference to the wide beaches of the colony, and the large influence gold and gold mining had on the indigenous society's culture. Some claim the term had been orally passed down for centuries of a previous society, but no evidence for this claim has been found, due to a lack of written records. Before the term Cárinansia was used the area was called Vóclaria, as the natives to the area were collectively referred to as Vóclarians, some believing this term to derive from Valorá, as many of the natives are known to hail from North of the La Plata Mountains.

History

The written history of Cárinansia spans over four millennia. First populated over 20,000 years ago, eastern and southwestern Cárinansia (termed Suroikoia) saw the rise and fall of complex and advanced indigenous societies, later developing into a large, special multicultural civilisation. Some of these indigenous peoples might have eventually migrated north through the La Plata Mountains into what would become Valorá.

The first civilisation formed in the entirety of the Suroikoia region were the Quinamecs, across the southern Altiplano and coastal areas, establishing their first farming villages and settlements in around 4000 BCE, being the first peoples to domesticate the cacao and established many practices which would be followed for many future generations. The most important ancient society formed in Suroikoia in general was Tlallioca, who established their city in what would later become Vóclaria City. Within their metropolis, they over time constructed the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, and formed one of the first judicial court systems in the world. Many believe they had census records and advanced infrastructure as well, but little is truly known as most documents of the period were destroyed during the colonial period by the Arcadian colonists.

The Duydari Empires

The First Duydari Empire, founded in c. 400 BCE, was ruled by the Quauhtli tribe under the leadership of Emperor Miyaoapil who unified most of the tribes in Cárinansia under his rule. However upon his death, his Empire naturally fell apart and the tribes returned to the status quo ante bellum. In 860 CE a Second Duydari Empire was established under the rule of Emperor Matlalihuitl I the Great who went about refurbishing the empire which had fallen so many years ago. He ruled benevolently which is what allowed it to hold together when his son Nahuatli ascended the throne in 883 CE upon his father's death. In his flamed grandeur, he began a war with the Panahwuuk Kingdom and swiftly conquered it, capturing King Ioxalto II and beheading him in front of his people. His effort to gain more territories and strengthen his power was a success and much of Valorá came under Duydari rule. He relocated his capital city from the center of the country down south to a City of the Gods, Huitzilotitlan. During the reign of Emperor Matlalihuitl II, many revolts occurred throughout Valorá demanding the Duydari Empire to return their lands. Considering the numbers, Matlalihuitl's army could not suppress these revolts and so he devised a compromise. He met with an Indigenous noble named Phakchay and agreed for him to rule as Prince Phakchay of the vassal state of the Principality of Khallwani which eased tensions. Meanwhile, south of the La Plata mountains, the various territory gained further autonomy due to the vast size of the territory, with Balés even being released a vassal state to the empire, allowing its modern-day indigenous difference to the rest of the Duydari to flourish.

Arcadian arrival in Suroikoia

The Arcadian Emperor Panegyris Verulus' growing interest in the region cleared the path for Arcadian colonisation, as he sought to not only exploit more swathes of resources to further enrich his Empire and himself, but also a place to relocate the Spani minorities in Span which he deemed undesirable. The former was a pressing matter to him, so he negotiated with Tlatoani Moyolehuani I on March 3rd, 1482 to give concessions on both developed and undeveloped areas of land in exchange for Arcadian luxuries like grapes, or horses. During this time, the Arcadians established prominent settlements like Anáheiro or Punto Banderas, utilising the Spani minority initially as their primary source of labour.

By 1495, Tlatoani Amoxtli and the Arcadian Emperor began to compete heavily over influence within the Duydari empire, the Paqui event being justification for the Arcadian Empire to declare war on the Duydari Empire, hundreds of ships within the Fleets already ready at Anáheiro. The war lasted for 2 years featuring brutal fighting in Cárinansian home turf. Although the Duydaris put up an effective resistance, the technological advancements and strategic superiority of the Arcadians lead to the capturing of the Duydari capital: Huitzilotitlan, which was torched upon its capture. The Treaty of Huitzilotitlan saw not only the complete subjugation of the Duydari Empire under direct Imperial rule but also Valorá, or Khallwani as it was then known. The city of Huitzilotitlan was by this point almost entirely destroyed, with only the North Wing of the Tlatoani's Palace remaining.

Early Colonial Period

The institution of slavery was expanded from including only northern Valorán Duydari, to all Duydari subjects across the colony regardless of previous social status or wealth. Due to the favourable climate and conditions of the south, Cárinansia became a major agricultural center for all of Arcadian Oikoia and Koelasia as well.

The Moliropa company which was formed in 1502 played an incremental role in the advancement of the slave trade, by settling what would become São Lenoas in 1523 to act a transport hub for Aparician slaves headed for the Port of Pecadores. Pecadores' important role in the slave trade made it the busiest port in the entire world from 1547-1603, when it was briefly surpassed by Puerto Adinerado following a hurricane in the South. By this point, however, the Moliropa Company had long since been disbanded in the south, and replaced by the Viceroyalty of Vóclaria in 1597. The Arcadians had built a new capital city for the colonies in what had once been Huitzilotitlan, Vóclaria City being this city built over its ruins.

The first major revolution which had some success was the 1613 Revolución de Radicales, in which female slave Moyolenolli headed a band of slaves in the city of Cidade do Ouro in the killing of their master, before freeing all other slaves present within the major hub for slaves. After that, she proclaimed the Tlahtocayotl Tlaca xoxouhcayotl, or Kingdom of Freedom from Slavery with herself as Queen, before initiating a blockade of the city. This happened after all of the city's garrisons were swarmed and their weapons confiscated. The area remained quasi-independent for twelve years until the Spani General Viçente de Peraça headed an army into the Enéas Rainforest to wipe them out and retake the area. Both sides incurred heavy casualties, but eventually he won out after Acanthio Niraemius arrived with reinforcements.

Following that, the Arcadian authority in Vóclaria City imposed punitive measures on all Indigenous peoples, modifying the slave code to mandate slave owners punish their thralls for making shows of culture under threat of confiscation of their property, approving the killing of the slaves as a suitable punishment. As a result of these measures, the indigenous population dropped further, to around 10 percent of what it had been before. As a result, greater and greater numbers of Aparician and Maharlikan slaves had to be brought to Vóclaria and Valorá through São Lenoas and Pecadores. This did force large-scale development in the colonies as the supply chains became increasingly complicated, and as slave revolts became more uncommon due to the feared repercussions.

Emmerian arrival to Ávigena

Esq. Phillipp of Keilberth managed to take acquire patronage from the Prince Elector of Entauderwald in early 1690 after news of the Anáheiro slave revolt and subsequent decade-long loss of Arcadian control reached the Emmerian states. The Esquire departed from the Port of Werbuch on August 23rd, 1690, making a stop at Chusokeon on the 1st of September before being shipwrecked on the coast of Kokosninsel harbour following a deadly hurricane. The island was named so for the abundance of coconuts present on the beach. After a couple of seasons of settlement and exploration of the islands, they finally encountered the once mercantile Kegeth peoples who assisted them in the construction of small boats which allowed the Esquire and some of his sailors to begin a voyage to Arcadian Revania after a few years. The others remained in the town they called 'Schwrack'.

Once they had enough food and resources, they departed on the next leg of their journey to the city of Ochamina further north in Revania, before stopping in the Port of the Strongest in Kostona to prepare for the longest part of the return journey. They crossed the Syldavian Ocean and arrived in Satamori before finally—after being away from Emmeria for over four years—returning to Werbuch. They told the Prince Elector what they had seen, which resulted in him officially claiming the islands for the Margraviate of Entauderwald in the 1697 Edict of Tropical Imperialism. Phillipp of Keilberth became Count Phillipp of Kokosninsel, and in return, he renamed Schwrack to New Gracemaria, after the Prince Elector's Duchy.

For the next few centuries, the territory would develop as the Emmerians peacefully co-existed with the natives, eventually expanding it into an important shipping hub of the slave trade. The Kegeth were almost entirely peacefully converted to Godsinian Lutheranism, a conversion entirely unlike the Arcadian Colonial Inquisition.

The War for Independence

The Moncovia Incident in 1814 took place after Arcadian legionaries burnt a town of colonist-descendants to the ground for illegally growing grapes and olives, as they had been declared illegal to grow in the colonies in order to protect imports from Arcadia. This move shocked and disgusted the Viceroyalty as a whole, resulting in Don Manuel Amezcua's Cry of Freedom from the Chapel of Doloria, declaring independence. The Cry only took place after holding discussions with Joaquin Cadmael, a third cousin of the Arcadian Emperor, but resulted in his capture and subsequent execution by legionaries.

Governor Publius Pompilius Herenus under the authority of Emperor Anterastilis Verulus suspended habeas corpus in the colonies as towns and cities across Vóclaria declared their support for Amezcua and excommunicated Cadmael from the Arcasian church. Carefully watching these events unfold was Viscount Alberto César Augusto of Ipudorm, the second cousin of Columbanus, and the first cousin of Cadmael who was a close friend of his. His disdain for the Arcadian Empire grew after the execution of Amezcua, but so far he declined requests from Cadmael to assist him in the fighting as he wasn't in the Viceroyalty.

Cadmael was captured following the First Battle of Vóclaria City, which resulted in the already disorganised rebellion further splintering and becoming more decentralised. While being transported from Anáheiro to Tycheala to stand trial for treason, Joaquin was thrown overboard and reportedly died twenty minutes later after being mauled by sharks. This was the final blow for Alberto, who immediately called off the rest of his diplomatic visit to Islonia and returned to what was being more and more frequently referred to as Cárinansia. When he arrived in Puerto Adinerado on October 15th, 1816, he managed to procure the first major Viceroyal city's support for independence and made plans to capture the rest of Ipudorm before proceeding to the rest of the territory south of La Plata. These plans went over very successfully as he managed to capture the entire New Kingdom of Ipudorm by the end of year, and was organising the first naval landings into Aquila or Tzacuanyaitzcuhtli. During this time, the New Kingdom of Nuevo Paraiso also declared their loyalty to the Revolution for Independence and invited Alberto to assume command over all of the area's garrisons. The area didn't prove to be of much importance in the Civil War but did act as a launchpad for an invasion of São Lenoas in 1821.

Alberto's brother Julio was appointed by Emperor Anterastilis to act as the Emergency Imperial Legate to defeat him, but upon his arrival in Reydacay, he pledged his support for his brother and invited him to assume command after the successful bloody Battle of Oligi. Julio would act as the Wartime Administrator of these occupied lands for the remainder of the war. With the major transportation hub of Oligi now under rebel control, as well as most of the west coast, Alberto decided to make a move for Città d'oro (Cidade do Ouro) by splitting up his mainland army into five constituent parts and marching down the Amazon. He successfully seized the city but was forced to swim down the Amazon River after being split off from his forces by a century of Legionaries. He was believed dead for days until he swam into the Port of Reydacay, word of his survival demoralising the opposing side and causing Anáheiro to declare independence as well, on the condition the primary naval center be moved there.

While relocating the fleets out of the secure Lekeadian Sea, they launched a full ground-scale invasion of Pecadores, starving out São Lenoas which was mostly destroyed as the Arcadians eventually abandoned the city for Buenas Velas far west, lasting until 1826. When Alberto arrived, he was hailed as a hero, and he had indeed finally captured the fourth-largest city in Latin Oikoia. Hearing news of the Valorán revolts in the North, Julio invited the two main leaders to Ipiranga to declare the Imperial State of Cárinansia. Described as delirious by the other three, Alberto nonetheless signed the Declaration and was officially coronated the following days in the ruins of the city Cathedral.

With most of the Viceroyalty now under firm Cárinansian control, the only city that remained was Voclaria City. So, Alberto first combined all of his armies and marched them south into the Altiplano, or sent them to the area from the south after arriving from Bahía de Diamantes. He initiated a year-long siege before finally emerging victorious in 1827, significant parts of the city considerably damaged. Seeing the damage as too much for the center of governance, Julio placed the administrative center of the Imperial State in New Massilia. It would later be renamed to São Alberto after he was canonised by the Pope of Godsinian Catholicism.

Only the northwest of modern-day Cárinansia remained under colonial rule, the Balés Crown Colony. It declared independence as the United Tribes of Balés in 1829 without much conflict, as the Arcadians couldn't afford to retaliate. Later in the same year, the Duchy of Kokosninsel peacefully declared independence from Entauderwald following a year of negotiations. They would remain independent until 1974 when President Cárintecatl annexed them as Ávigena but allowed the Emmerian descendants to coexist peacefully with the growing Carinansian population.

Early Imperial State

Immediately after independence, Cárinansia was in extreme debt and a nation in ruin. Gran Rey Alberto I initially devolved many of his powers to Julio while he himself spent these days attempting to forge new international relationships. On the brink of establishing an alliance with the other newly-independent Kingdom of Maharlika, the move was abruptly stopped by the arrival of the Arcadian Naval Fleet off the coast of Anáheiro. This mandated the immediate return of Alberto from Castanar in order to mobilise the Cárinansian fleet. By this point, a beachhead had been established in Santa Cruz, and the Arcadian legionaries were set to continue further north until their supply lines were shattered after the surprise attack on the fleet, which destroyed it. This move allowed them to be starved out before they were eventually captured and left for dead in the La Plata mountains.

Following this attempted recapture of Cárinansia, Alberto immediately mandated the deportation of all Arcadians loyal to the former colonial regime in the Cárinansian Cárinansia Edict of 1834. After this, the country slowly continued to develop as the damage from the war of independence was repaired over the next thirty years, with various successive Gran Reys dying at young ages and being replaced by their children, called the curse of César Augusto. Regardless, the Imperial State was focused on establishing its own national identity based on that of the Imperial Tychealan Empire of old, or the Islonian empire. Repression of the Indigenous peoples did continue, but nowhere near the extent as before. This was due to the fact that slavery was outlawed upon independence, ending the Cárinansian involvement in the highly profitable trade.

Gran Rey Alberto César Augusto VI was an ambitious individual, being heavily inspired by the work of the Arcadian, Spereidian, and Islonian colonial empires, to begin a Cárinansian Empire of his own. Such popularity garnered from a venture would certainly cement his legacy forever, and make him forever known by an epithet he so dearly wanted—the Conqueror, the Mighty. As a result, he approved expeditions both west and east, his ego leading him to believe that there may still be undiscovered lands that other countries had been unable to find thus far. After weeks of sailing, some sailors arrived in Omashu to conduct simple trade relations. The Omashi were too advanced for him to develop such a nickname from, as they would be too costly or impossible to subjugate. So, having wasted millions of pesos on the Omashi expedition already, he instead decided to explore south of Ipudorm into Satyria, making contact with locals and eventually negotiating the transfer of a Cárinansian settlement to the Imperial State, the port of Plaimo.

All plans for a colonial empire were ended after the coronation of Alberto César Augusto VII, who ended the project entirely and instead focused on expanding the Cárinansian culture into the Indigenous homeland, forcing them to assimilate to the Imperial culture. As expected this caused some minor revolutions which were promptly crushed but did result in some minor reforms and the loosening of this policy.

Pre-Distopian Era

The strong government control over the economy resulted in various black-market organisations illegally establishing de facto monopolies over most industries, including media, telecommunications, mining, and logging. Many of these organisations have direct successors into the modern-day, such as Grupothae or Oikoia Móvil. However, regardless of that, increasingly strong resource exploitation caused an economic boom that lasted until the outbreak of the Second Global War. Originally, the Imperial State managed to minimise their involvement in the war by only increasing conscription and establishing a small Expeditionary Force for the Allied side.

This all changed following the Fascist coup in Valorá, which forced the country to strengthen its northern border in the La Plata mountains, before then being the victim of a surprise naval attack on Puerto Adinerado, which mandated the mobilisation of the navy north and officially was the commencement of war with the Fascists. At first, the Valorans managed to occupy sizeable portions of the north, but this changed after a few months of fighting, and eventually, the Cárinansian Army liberated San Esteban.

After the end of the War, the young veteran Javier Matamoros wandered the country learning languages and experiencing the native cultures, before the outbreak of the Distopia.

Geography

Cárinansia is commonly known as the land of Extremes, with tall mountains reaching over 5 thousand meters tall across the northern border and accompanying canyons plunging thousands of meters below the surface, with large sweeping deserts swaddling the Enéas rainforest in the center of the country, as well as a tropical, humid climate immediately after these deserts as the land reaches the sea.

The Cárinansian Altiplano, stretching from the Enéas to the southern coast, occupies the vast expanse of land between the central and southern regions of the Serenacy. A low center-west range divides the altiplano into northern and southern sections. These two sections, previously called the Mesa del Norte and Mesa Central, are now regarded by geographers as sections of one altiplano. The northern altiplano averages 1,100 meters in elevation and continues south from the Río Amazon del Norte through the states of Tlanukoy and San Luis. Various narrow, isolated ridges cross the plateaus of the northern altiplano. Numerous depressions dot the region, the largest of which is the Bolsón de Mapimí. The southern Altiplano is higher than its northern counterpart, averaging 2,000 meters (6,600 ft)​ in elevation. The southern altiplano contains numerous valleys originally formed by ancient lakes. Several of Cárinansia's most prominent cities, including Vóclaria City and Duranillo, are located in the valleys of the southern Altiplano. In recent years, the Southern Region of the country only continues to grow in population as many people begin to leave the Northern and Lekeadian Regions.

Climate

The climate of Cárinansia is very varied, the Tropic of Cancer effectively divides the country into temperate and tropical zones. Land that is north of the twenty-fourth parallel experiences lower temperatures during the winter months. South of the twenty-fourth parallel, temperatures are fairly consistent all year round and vary solely as a function of elevation. The north of the country usually receives less precipitation than the south due to their higher altitudes, but the center specifically receives more precipitation than most places in the world, being the heart of the Enéas River Basin and Rainforest.

Cárinansia has pronounced wet and dry seasons. Despite the differences in altitude and humidity, most of the country experiences a rainy season from June to mid-October and significantly less rain during the remainder of the year. February and July generally are the driest and wettest months, respectively. Guajeres, for example, receives an average of only 5 millimeters (0.2 in)​ of rain during February but more than 160 millimeters (6.3 in) in July. Coastal areas, especially those along the Gulf of Cárinansia, and the interior Enéas areas, experience the largest amounts of rain in September. Terfloria typically records more than 300 millimeters (11.8 in)​ of rain during that month. A portion of northwestern Ipudorm has a Uateden climate influenced by the Luvian Current, with a rainy season that occurs in winter and coastal regions receiving considerable fog. Another area that experiences a Uateden climate as a result of elevation occurs in the interior of Haiyato.

Demographics

Language

The Serenacy has had no official language since its foundation in 1966. However, Cárinansian has been the most spoken language ever since the minority ethnic group fled from persecution in Arcadia to the colonies. Due to massive revivalist efforts as part of the Voclástizaje social program, indigenous languages including Natik, Mexal, and Runasim have faced massive resurgences along with hundreds more minor ones. It is believed roughly 79% of the population is bilingual in Cárinansian and Natik, and a lower 50% of the population is trilingual in the former two and Mexal. Around 11% of the population is believed to be monolingual in Cárinansian, 5% in Natik, and 3% in Mexal.

The largest non-majority language is Runasim, which was up until 40 years ago at danger of extinction with fewer than ten thousand speakers- Today all official government pages have a copy in it. This is owed to the long cultural importance of the language and the legal detail in which it can be used. It is estimated that around 15 million people can speak it at a conversational level.

There is a common misconception that Ávigena has a large proportion of Emmerian speakers due to its colonisation by Emmeria and subsequent independence from Cárinansia until 2012, however, due to large migration from southern Cárinansia in the mid-20th century this is untrue, with only a few scattered communities primarily speaking the language in the modern-day.

Religion

Forms of Godsinianism have existed in Cárinansia for around 500 years. Since independence and especially since the establishment of the Serenacy and the new Voclástizaje program, religious diversity has increased in Cárinansia, with Godsinianism being the primary religion of the Arcadian-Cárinansians, but indigenous religions and atheism have also seen increasing popularity, particularly among the indigenous populations. All states in the Serenacy recognise no religion as the official in order to maintain official state secularism, especially with the large multicultural, multi-faith immigrant population of the country.

In 2015, 63% of survey respondents identified as Godsinians. This number was split between 53% as Godsinian Catholics, and 10% as Godsinian Protestants, with a negligible Orthodox population. In the same survey, 14% of respondents identified as adherents to Indigenous faiths, and the number of Atheists reached 15%, with 8 million of them being Natives. Finally, primarily among foreign-born populations, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam were stated to be adhered to by 8% of the population. There are still remnant Arcasian communities from the period of colonisation, but these are mostly dying out and being replaced by Atheists as residents migrate to cities.

The Church of Godsinian Catholicism formerly was the official state-recognised religion during the Imperial State, with many of the Legislature seats being specifically reserved for these peers. During the Arcadian colonisation, Arcasianism was the officially-recognised religion, with the 3rd Viceroyal Decree mandating that all settlements had to have at least one 'large-sized church' in order to be recognised as a legal town.

Ethnicity

The largest ethnic group in Cárinansia are officially the Voclástizos, an artificial unitary race created as part of the Matamoros Nationalistic Ideology. Looking at ancestral lines, the largest ethnic group in Cárinansia are the Cárinansians who originate as a persecuted ethnic group in Arcadia. They are indigenous to the Spani Region of Arcadia and are native speakers of the language of the same name [Cárinansian].

Cárinansia is primarily composed of three nations: Voclástizos, Indigenous Cárinansians, and Arcadians — there are also sizeable minorities of Koeleso-Selenian groups such as Emmerians, Brotothians, Albions, Rhyssuans, Austrians, Myrineians, Estovakians, and Aexodians. There is also a very large population of Kangsuan immigrants (second-largest foreign-born race), Lizeians, Varashislavians, Luderans, and Lassauans.

Cárinansia is primarily inhabited by ethnic Koelasians. In the 2026 census, 63,761,376 (79.4%) reported Koelasia as the continent their forefathers hailed from. Koelasian minority national and ethnic groups in Cárinansia include the Arcadians, Islons, New South Welsh, Anteni, Mestropians, and Aurelians.

Education

Education is a statal matter, with each State having control over its own education system. There is a general federal curriculum—all students must be taught Cárinansian, Natik or Mexal, mathematics, science, and Albion. The rest of the curriculum is up for the decision of the State government.

The literacy rate in the Serenacy is 97.38%. Nearly 100% of people complete primary school, 72.1% of people complete secondary school, and 32% of people complete some form of tertiary education. This is the highest percentage in Latin Oikoia, but globally speaking it is only slightly above average.

The highest-ranked university in the Serenacy is the National Autonomous University of Cárinansia (UNAC), followed by the Tecnologico 'Tec' de Reydacay, and lastly, by the Revolutionary College of Oligi, today also based in Reydacay.

Government

The Serenacy of Cárinansia is a federation whose government is representative, democratic, and republican based on a presidential system according to the 1966 Constitution. The constitution establishes four primary levels of government: the federal Union, the state governments, the provincial governments, and the municipal governments. According to the constitution, all constituent states of the federation must have a republican form of government composed of three branches: the executive, represented by a governor and an appointed cabinet, the legislative branch constituted by a congress (amount of chambers decided by the state) and the judiciary, which will include a state Supreme Court of Justice. They also have their own civil and judicial codes.

The federal legislature is the unicameral National Congress. Congress makes federal law, declares war, imposes taxes, approves the national budget and international treaties, and ratifies diplomatic appointments.

The federal Congress, as well as the state legislatures, are elected by a system of parallel voting that includes plurality and proportional representation. The Congress contains 513 seats. Of these, 36 are assigned to each state and the District of Tadea, with each being granted two, and the remainder are given out proportionally.

The executive is the President of the Serenacy of Cárinansia, who is the head of state and government, as well as the commander-in-chief of the Cárinansian military forces. The President also appoints the Cabinet and other officers. The President is responsible for executing and enforcing the law and has the power to veto bills.

The highest organ of the judicial branch of government is the Supreme Court of Justice, the national supreme court, which has ten judges appointed by the President and approved by the National Congress. The Supreme Court of Justice interprets laws and judges cases of federal competency. Other institutions of the judiciary are the Federal Electoral Tribunal, collegiate, unitary and district tribunals, and the Council of the Federal Judiciary.

States

The Serenacy of Cárinansia is comprised of sixteen federal states and one federal district; The District of Tadea. This District is legally described as a whole constituent city and as such has no legally prescribed capital, having almost all powers and autonomy relegated to states. Because of a clause in the Cárinansian Constitution, as it is the seat of the powers of the federation, it can never become a state or the capital of the country has to be relocated elsewhere.

The most populous state since the National Declaration has not always been São Lenoas, originally being San Luis until São Alberto was incorporated into Vóclaria City and Tadea was declared the new capital of the nation in 1967. Furthermore, Mangulak was formerly the third-largest state until the Royalist destruction of Oligi during the Civil War, causing a mass capital and population flight from the State until the governorship of Andrés Blanco Morelos in the late 80s.

Economy

Communication

The first post office in Cárinansia was established in 1579 in the bustling slave-trading transport hub of São Lenoas to create a direct naval postal route to Sarardium. The modern-day public postal service is today maintained by the Cárinansian Postal Service (Sepocár; Servicio Postal Cárinansia). It mostly developed as the colony developed, with over 5,000 post offices by independence. The Imperial State stagnated the development of the postal system though, only developing slightly during the Matamoros Era.

The PITT was established by the Imperial authority and the only legally-recognised telegraph and telephone provider in the Imperial State from 1927 to 1964, but a black market telecommunications group formed by Adriano Cordeiro de Assunção in 1939 gained a de facto monopoly over the industry, officially incorporating as Telecom Oikoia in Oligi in 1964. After their headquarters were destroyed in the Royalist destruction of the city, the company relocated to Punto Banderas, rebranding as Oikoia Móvil in 1986. To this day it is the largest telecommunications provider in the nation, and one of the largest in the world.

Stipulated in one of the early National Congressional Resolutions, TV and Radio are not legally classified as forms of telecommunications in order to exempt them from regulations that would affect how viewers could watch or participate in them. Notably, Cárinansia is home to Grupothae, the third-largest media corporation in Thaecia. The Internet has been popular in the country ever since its introduction, with some restrictions originally being placed on the content by President Cárintecatl which were later wholly removed in 2010. 6G is presently used by over 80% of the country but is beginning to be phased out by Oikoia Móvil's and RK Telecom's 7G programs.

Culture

The culture of Cárinansia reflects the country's long and complicated history, Cárinansians have developed a culture of their own with major influences from Indigenous, Spani, and Arcadian cultures, and more minor influences from other cultures around Thaecia. First inhabited 20,000 years ago, the cultures which formed eventually resulted in the creation of one of the Cradles of Civilisation. During the 300-year rule by the Arcadians, Cárinansia was a crossroads for the people and cultures of Koelasia and South Oikoia. The government of the first independent Cárinansia actively opposed the fusion of Indigenous and foreign cultures, preferring to have a nation stylised off the Imperial Tychealan Empire. By the time of the 1952 Coup d'etat, this opposition was so strong that the period known as the Distopia begin, which had already resulted in the beginning of the Distopia, beginning the destruction of many cultures and languages. President Cárintecatl's Nationalist ideology, as well as his various adventures and experiences allowed him to revive some of these deceased cultures to their successors, with the modernday Serenacy actively promoting the fusion of all cultures to form a national identity.

The culture of an individual Cárinansian is influenced by familial ties, gender, religion, location, and social class, among other factors. In many ways, contemporary life in the cities of Cárinansia has become similar to that in nearby Kangsu, and Koelasia, with rural people conserving traditions more greatly than city dwellers, although this isn't always the case.

In recent decades Cárinansia has received a large number of immigrants, resulting in many cultural attributions of other cultures to make their way into Cárinansian culture. The Serenacy has been described as a tessellation or collage, in that immigrants are highly encouraged to keep their traditions and cultures, creating a 'tessellation' effect. This is only boosted by the aforementioned government promotion of cultural unity and intermingling.

Sports

Football is by and far the most popular sport across the vast majority of Cárinansia, being brought over and popularised by a Brotothian expatriate by the name of Bradford Hamilton, while was on a break during the construction of the Oligi-Reydacay Railway line. Only five years later, the first football club was formed in Oligi, and a year later the Super League was formed for Eastern Cárinansian city clubs to take part in. Today, the National Football Team has won the Thaecia Cup a total of 5 times (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002), a number higher than any other country. Several prominent football players managed to secure political positions from their national fame, but the number of these 'Kicking Politicians' has declined since the start of the new millennium.

Footvolley is a sport unique to Cárinansia created in the mid-1970s by Estevão Saraiva da Silva in Anáheiro while acting in his capacity as a lifeguard at Libélula Beach, bored due to his lack of activity and the presence of various friends, he came up with the idea for the name after they wanted to play volleyball but only had a football, and he made the suggestion to combine the two. Originally 6 players were on each team, but the number was reduced to 2 by the International Footvolley Association in 1983 after it had reached international acclaim.

Capoeira is an Indigenous-Cárinansian martial art that combines elements of dance and music and is marked by deft, tricky movements that are often played on the ground or completely inverted. It also has a strong acrobatic component in some versions and is always played with music. It is a culturally significant sport, developed in colonial times by slaves. Nowadays, Capoeira is practiced internationally and found its way into popular culture, through many computer games and movies.

In Cárinansia, mixed martial arts is one of the most popular sports. In terms of national popularity, it ranks second only to football. Cárinansian jiu-jitsu is a type of jiu-jitsu that emerged in Cárinansia in the 1910s and focuses on ground fighting and submission holds such as joint-locks and chokeholds. Nicolas Amaral had a rather small build and changed jiu-jitsu (originating from Kangsu) to be used by anyone in a real fight situation. The belt progression system goes in the following order: White, Blue, Purple, Brown, Black, Red-black, and Red. Due to the highly skilled fighters in the Amaral family, namely Nicolas Amaral, Alfredo Amaral, and Ricardo Amaral, who are also responsible for spreading the practice of vale tudo, which evolved into mixed martial arts tournaments such as PRIDE, DREAM, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Amaral Jiu Jitsu became known internationally in the 1990s. Many Cárinansian fighters have become prominant figures in various mixed martial art tournaments abroad, some notable Cárinansian fighters in these tournaments include Agildo Bastos, Wanderlei Silva, Rodrigo Amaral, Yaopa Belfort, José José de Juan y Juan, Miguel Amanto, Benício Fraga do Nascimento, Junior dos Santos, Rafael dos Anjos, Alessandro Rosário Paschoal, and Erasmo Correia.

Handball was brought to Cárinansia during the late-19th century by Emmerian immigrants, quickly becoming very popular in schools across the country, being the second most practiced in education behind only football, due to its simplicity. The National Handball Association rather controversially decided to decrease the number of core players per team to 4, a move which hasn't been reflected anywhere else in Thaecia, and is often ignored.

Ulama games are held on a makeshift court known as a tastei, which is constructed by drawing or chalking large lines in the dirt. A centerline, known as an analco, divides the courts into opposing sides. The chichi or chivo is a ball that is allowed to cross the end line and scores a point for the opposing team. In the play, rayas (points) are earned. Under some circumstances, the scoring system allows for the score to be reset to zero, which can lead to lengthy games. The modern game includes three primary variations, but the most popular is 'Ulama de cadera,' or hip ulama. A hip ulama team consists of typically six players (but there could be as many as twelve players) wearing loincloths, with leather hip pads for some protection against the heavy (3-4 kg, around 7-9 lb)​【4 kg】​ rubber ball.

The purpose of the game is to keep the ball in the game and within bounds. Depending on the score and changes in local rules, the ball is hit either high or low. When the opposing player hits the ball abnormally, misses the ball, hits the ball out of bounds, touches the ball with any body part other than the hip, accidentally touches a teammate, or stops the ball before it reaches the centerline, it results in a point for the opposing team. The first team that scores eight points wins. If both teams finish with the same number of rayas after two hours, the score is reset to zero and begins again after a ten minutes break. Most modern games are stopped after around an hour and a half before a round ends, but one game in the pre-Arcadian era reportedly took 8 days to finish. The longest game in contemporary times took around 2 days to finish, won by the Villa Pérez team after the opposing team reportedly had fallen asleep. In the original form of the game, losers would be killed.

Charrería is Cárinansia's national sport, which dates back to the 16th century and consists of a series of equestrian contests developed in Cárinansia. The charreada, a type of rodeo invented in Cárinansia in order to preserve charro traditions, is the most prominent event. It originates from the State of San Luis, the modern-day town of San Martín del Caballo.

The Federación Cárinansia de Charrería (Cárinansian Federation of Charreria; FCC) organizes charrería events. The most recent winner of the National Charrería is the Haiyatan Amanda Quadros Salgado, the first female champion.

Cuisine

Cárinansian Cuisine has developed and varied drastically over the last 500 years, brought on by first Koelasian settlers, and then the massive wave of immigration in the late 19th century and again in the late 20th century. Many dishes in the Serenacy are heavily influenced by Arcadian dishes, and to an extent, Emmerian and Indigenous dishes. Many dishes in mainland Cárinansia are mixed dishes brought from the two countries during the colonial period. The Cotltecs' migration into Cárinansia during the 10th century introduced a wide variety of exotic spices and foods into the nation, which remains a major staple of Cárinansian cuisine today. The first cultivation of maize, tomatoes, and coffee beans were major turning points in the local cuisine during the 15th century, introducing many new foods still considered iconic today. Cacao originated from Cárinansia and was first used as a medicinal substance, but after the Arcadian subjugation was introduced to the rest of the world as sweet food. Pulque is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the maguey plant, highly popular to tourists but relatively unknown when not visiting the country. Tequila, on the other hand, is internationally renowned for its sweet and citrus aroma combined with its strong flavour. It is mainly distilled in Tequila and is based on the pre-Arcadian Mezcal.

The Serenacy is responsible for many iconic foods, such as nachos, the taco, quesadilla, the enchilada, and the popularisation of guacamole in the 17th century during colonialism.
