The '''Empire of the New Kayamucha''' ({{wp|Southern Quechua|Kaya simi}}: ''Musuq Kayamucha Qhapaq Suyu''), colloquially known as '''Kayahallpa''', is a multi-ethnic empire in [[Ajax]] located in western [[Ajax#Oxidentale|Oxidentale]] bordering the [[Mutul]] to its north, [[Sante Reze]] in the east, [[Zacapican]] 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 {{wp|sovereign state}} of Kayahallpa is a centralized {{wp|absolute monarchy}} ruled by an emperor known as the [[Sapa Inka]] and primarily divided into 21 ''Suyu'' departments. It is a {{wp|developing country}} with medium-high {{wp|human development index|human development}} levels and a growing economy. Much of the country is arid, with large {{wp|plateaus}} and {{wp|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 {{wp|Lomas|mist oases}}. At 1.412 million square kilometers in area, it is the fourth largest country in Oxidentale.  
'''Kayahallpa''' ({{wp|Southern Quechua|Kaya Simi}}: ''Kayahallpa'' {{wp|Help:IPA/Quechua|[kæjæˈhæʎpæ]}}), and officially the '''Sacred Kayahallpan Republic''' and also known as '''Wari''', is a country in western [[Ajax#Oxidentale|Oxidentale]]. It borders the [[Mutul]] to the north, [[Sante Reze]] and [[Yadokawona]] to the east, [[Aztapamatlan]] to the south-east and the Makrian Ocean to the west. The country has three constitutionally defined capital cities: the "greater capital" of [[Tupawasi]] in central Kayahallpa, and the "lesser capitals" of Tupaq Churan City in the north and Huirquihui in the south. It has a population of near 65 million and its largest city is Tupaq Churan City.


The country's population of over 60 million people shows a remarkable degree of diversity, mostly {{wp|Indigenous peoples of South America|native Oxidentalese}} groups. {{wp|Southern Quechua|Kaya simi}} is the official language for empire-wide communication, spoken as a first or second language by practically the entire population. More than 40 different ethnic groups originate from Kayahallpa, glued together by an extensive [[Waripa Thought|shared pan-imperial ideology]] promulgated by the government. The state actively encourages its subjects to worship their ruler as a deity descended from {{wp|Viracocha|Wiraqucha}}, a {{wp|creator deity}} with traditions in many local belief systems.  
Kayahallpa has been home to many cultures stretching back at least 6000 years including the coastal Chincha civilization, the old Nahuas, the highland Warisuyu Empire, and the current Kayan society. While its history has been shaped by a number of global powers, Kayahallpan territory has almost always been ruled by Oxidentalese states.


The modern empire was founded around 1365 CE after {{wp|Quechua people|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 1791, ruler [[Tupaq Churan]] began the first of many reconquests of former Kayan imperial lands, and brought Kayahallpa into direct conflict with the [[Mutul]] and [[Zacapican]] polities. These wars would continue on and off for a century, after which the boundaries of Kayahallpa have been stable. Following periods of economic and social unrest in the mid-20th century the government has made moves to diversify its economy from mineral extraction and agriculture, though raw resources continue to dominate exports.
The modern state of Kayahallpa traces its origin to the ancient Kayans, who migrated from [[Ajax#Norumbia|Norumbia]] due to the 14th century socio-economic collapse of the [[Kayamuca Empire]] and waged war against the native Warisuyu Empire. After the Warisuyu collapsed with the 1376 Fall of Tupawasi, the competing Kayan clans fought for supremacy with the Wiraqucha Clan ultimately winning and establishing the New Kayamucha in 1434 CE. The New 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 series of wars brought Kayan power into a steady decline, which never recovered. Under the influence of Mutunese-educated rulers, most of Kayahallpa was converted to [[White Path|Sakbeism]] during the Kayan religious revolution with heavy influences from {{wp|Inca religion|the traditional faith}}. Beginning in 1791, the post-Kayamuchan ruler Tupaq Churan launched a series of military campaigns and fought against the Mutulese and their subjects, officially restoring the New Kayamucha. The inability of his descendants to reconcile internal frictions and avoid costly wars led to the 1924-1927 Kayahallpan Spring, a period of rapid internal changes which led to democratic reforms. The Kayan Workers' Party dominated elections and led the country into a profound wave of industrialization and liberalization, but also provoked the ire of traditionalist and nationalist factions. In the late 1950s, KWP radical Kaman Yashakphi began to undermine the KWP itself in order to create a {{wp|totalitarian}} {{wp|state socialism|ordosocialist}} system and expelled the last [[Sapa Inka|monarch]], [[Tupaq Yupanki III]] in the 14 May Coup. Yashakphi was overthrown in the 1960 Kayahallpan Revolution, which established a 'revolutionary and divine republic' under [[Supreme Leader of Kayahallpa|Kamasqa]] [[Pitiy Achtil]], followed by a decade of unrest as the communist [[People's Army for the Revolution|RAA]] launched a guerilla campaign against the Kamasqic regime.
 
The Government of Kayahallpa is a Sakbeist theocracy, spiritually and temporally led by the Kamasqa, with notable {{wp|technocratic}} elements and weaker {{wp|democratic}} ones. The current Kamasqa since 2005 is [[Qaparipuyll Wuluk]], who exerts power with the Great State Council. There is a {{wp|legislature}}, which has for all meaningful purposes remained subservient to the ruling forces since the early revolution. It is a developing country with medium-high human development levels and a moderately complex economy largely dominated by the {{wp|copper}} industry. Much of Kayahallpa 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. Large parts of the country are irrigated for agricultural production. At 1.412 million square kilometers in area, it is the fourth largest country in Oxidentale. Sante Reze and the Mutul are Kayahallpa's largest trade partners and have been its closest allies after the Kayahallpan Revolution. Kayahallpa is a member of the [[Common Congress of Oxidentale and Norumbia|Common Congress]] and the [[Forum of Nations]], among other international organizations.
 
The people of Kayahallpa come from a variety of backgrounds, mainly indigenous to Oxidentale as well as significant numbers of Norumbian and Malaioan descent. {{wp|Southern Quechua|Kaya Simi}} is the national language, and co-official with a local language in most regions. Increases in agricultural efficiency and the abolition of settlement restrictions facilitated rapid urbanization in the mid to late 20th century, which transformed the political, social, cultural, and economic landscape of the country.


==Etymology==
==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 Kaya simi 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 population.  
The oldest known geographical term used for the entire area of and around the Antis mountains of western Oxidentale is ''Wari'', from an ancient highland city of the same name, attested in records around 480 CE. Wari has continued in usage as a term for the general region in the modern day, and was introduced as the co-official name of the country during the Democratic Constitutional era. Between 1434 and 1926, the name of the state was the New Kayamucha, derived from the historical maritime Norumbian-Oxidentalese [[Kayamuca Empire]]. The name Kayahallpa was not coined before the 18th century, when it was introduced as a nationalistic rallying cry against the country's [[Mutul|Mutulese rulers]], combining the ancient empire's name with the Kaya Simi word for land, ''hallpa''. There are two hypotheses for the origin of the name ''kaya'' itself, either being a loaned term appropriated during the age of the Kayamuca, or stemming directly from {{wp|Quechua languages|Proto-Kayaic}}.

===Early history (pre-1300s)===
==Government and politics==
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 {{wp|cradles of civilization}}. The linguistic, cultural, and political makeup of Kayahallpan territory in general and the mountains of the High Antis in particular would forever change when the {{wp|Quechua people|Runakuna}}, originally of [[Ajax|Norumbian]] descent, trekked across north-western Oxidentale in search of suitable political pastures, a pursuit brought by the collapse of Kayamuca and Mutulese involvement.<br>Zaca, SR and the Mutul all probably enter the picture here?
The Politics of Kayahallpa is regulated by the post-revolutionary 1960 Kayahallpan Constitution, which established a theocracy with elements of technocracy and a limited democracy. Ultimate political authority is constitutionally defined as originating from the Gods of the Sakbeist religion, and the official Kayan Priesthood is charged with approving the Kamasqa, the nation's leader, and members to the Great State Council, the highest state organ. The Kamasqa wields complete parastatal power as their decisions canned be amended or stopped, and they are actively involved in the daily operations of the country. The Kayan Priesthood is legally based from the {{wp|closed city|Sakbeist-only}} and {{wp|holy city}} of Qusqu; most of the government is based in the greater capital, [[Tupawasi]], with smaller representation in Tupaq Churan City and Huirquihui. Kayahallpa operates as a partially {{wp|devolution|devolved state}} where local administrative units have some political authority to enact their own legislation, the country remaining ''de jure '' unitary.


===Early Empire (1300s-1623)===
===Kamasqa===
I can't believe it's not the Incas<br>Some Sapa Inka tries to make a sun cult, fails
The government's central figure is the Kamasqa (officially ''Qhapaq Kamasqa'', the Great Kamasqa), also known as the Divine Priest or Supreme Leader, chosen from the uppermost ladder of Kayahallpan Sakbeist leaders. The Kamasqa is the country's head of state and leads the polytheistic Sakbeist faith in Kayahallpa. The Kamasqa serves for life once elected by the upper Kayan Priesthood and wields unquestionable authority across all spheres of Kayahallpan politics, making judgements on all matters of government in the Sacred Republic. [[Qaparipuyll Wuluk]] succeeded [[Ruqa Qepayariyam]] as Kamasqa in 2005. Qepayariyam in turn succeeded [[Pitiy Achtil]], the first Kamasqa, in 1986. The Kamasqa is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, has control of the strategic military intelligence and security operations and wields the power to declare war or peace. All three Kamasqas have formented and wielded a powerful {{wp|cult of personality}} around themselves which encourages unabiding loyalty to their will, and all media coverage of the Kamasqa in the nation is extremely tightly controlled.


====Decline (1500s-1600s)====
===State===
The flight of the Runakuna into the High Antis was much brought about by a refusal to accept Mutulese rule at all costs. As fate would have it, they came back – with gunboats. As Mutuleses ''Great Companies'', massive trans-oceanic merchant operatives, began to appear in force during the early 1500s, the Sapa Inka sought to regulate their operations. As these efforts began to face resistance, the Companies were threatened with expulsion, but the overwhelming economic strength of the Great Companies and the [[K'uhul Ajaw]]'s fleets demolished the Sapa Inka's attempts to establish dominance in a 1608 punitive war.<br>Period of intense Mutulese cultural influence begins
The most central government organs below the Kamasqa are the technocratic Great State Council, the religious Kayan Priesthood, and the democratically elected Chosen Court. The Great State Council is composed of engineers and other technical experts who are given a constitutional mandate to deliberate on various aspects of day-to-day government, most importantly to coordinate economic policy, regulate development, plan civil infrastructure, iron out labor policy, and organize regulations for Kayahallpan universities. Decisions made by the council can be delayed, but not overturned, by the Chosen Court; the Kamasqa and the priesthood can veto any of its decisions. The appointment of members to the council is controlled by the Kayan Priesthood, which is mainly tasked with maintaining the religious-ideological system of the Sacred Republic, ensuring it stays adhered to its Sakbeist foundations. The chairman of the Priesthood is the Willaq Umu. The Chosen Court is the national legislature of Kayahallpa and of its representatives, 75% are democratically elected by the people, with the remaining 25% appointed by the Priesthood. The Suyupa Rantin functions as President of the Court. Factions of the legislature are typically positioned on a traditionalist-reformist spectrum; there is heavy systematic bias against reformist politicians, with biased media reports and state-organized political violence being common, and reports have been made of extortion, psychological torture, house arrests, and unwarranted imprisonment against people critical of the regime.


===The Dark Centuries (1600s-1700s)===
===Law===
All is lost
The Kayahallpan legal system is based on a modern Kayahallpan interpretation of Sakbeist scripture, largely inspired by the works of authors in early modern Kayahallpa, the Mutul, and the [[Mutulese Ochran]], and the writings of modern Kamasqas, as outlined in the writings of the Constitution. The Kamasqa appoints the head of the judiciary. There are several types of courts, including public courts for civil and criminal cases, and special ''Courts of Sakwi'' which deal with certain types of offenses, such as crimes against "the character of the Sakbeist revolution". The education of judges is based on a combination of religious dogma for ethical matters and secular civil law for technical ones. The {{wp|death penalty}} is legal and may be used for a variety of crimes including murder, treason, and blasphemy; the number of executed people or even death sentences is considered a state secret, but is likely to be hundreds of persons a year. It is not known what percentage of death sentences is actually carried out, as some of them are remitted to life imprisonment or forced labor.


===The Resurgence (1790-1845)===
===Military===
By the 19th century, Kaya rule was constricted to the Qullqaquyllur Highlands around Tupawasi. The ascension of [[Tupaq Churan]] in 1774 marked a turning point when he successfully exploited internal political violence in [[Antumapu]] during the 1790s to annex most of its territory, areas that had long been integral parts of [[Zacapican]]. A civil war in the eastern [[Apa Kingdom]] spurred his second major campaign, invading it in 1799. Tupaq Churan's armies would then go on to  conquer the rest of Kayahallpa, besieging and occupying [[Chuliruchu]] in 1818-1821. The attack on this city, which was under the protection of the [[Mutul]] sparked the [[Kayahallpa-Mutul relations|First Kayan-Mutulese War]], which ended in a stunning Kayahallpan victory and the annexation of large territories formerly belonging to the Mutul. By Tupaq Churan's death in 1829 the small Kayan kingdom had been transformed once again into a major force in Oxidentale. Historians generally conclude that Tupaq Churan's personal skills in military organization, administration, and diplomacy were a major factor for the Musuq Kayamucha's success during this period, though a burgeoning economy, political crises in neighboring Zacapican and the Mutul, international support, and favorable climatic conditions in the High Antis were the ultimate reasons he was able to embark on his mission in the first place.  
[[File:InfanteriaCL.jpg|200px|thumb|left|RSA infantry during a 2015 exercise]]
The military of Kayahallpa is officially titled as the [[Revolutionary Sakbeist Army]] (RSA), divided into Land, Air, Sea, and Special Operations forces; in addition, the auxiliary [[Kallpachay]] units form a {{wp|paramilitary}} organization affiliated with the RSA. The RSA replaced the Warian People's Army after the [[Kayahallpan Revolution]], which had replaced the earlier Imperial Kayan Army.


====Mapuche Wars====
As of 2022, the armed forces of Kayahallpa had a total of 290,000 active, 210,000 reserve, and 346,000 paramilitary (including Kallpachay) staff, making it the Xth largest military by size; it is also a strong force in internal politics as its subsidiaries own a significant portion of the domestic economy. There is mandatory {{wp|conscription}} for all fit individuals aged 19-28, for a total period of 12 months. Military expenditure was 4% of {{wp|gross domestic product}} in 2022. While the country has a domestic arms industry, the majority of its military equipment overall is imported from other states.

==Government and politics==
Kayahallpa is an absolute monarchy: The [[Sapa Inka]] is not only the {{wp|head of state}}, but also the {{wp|head of government}}, and holds ownership of the entire nation's {{wp|means of production}}. The current Sapa Inka has been [[Tupaq Yupanki III]], ruling since 1959. All acts, rituals, issues and matters of government are viewed through and handled in the context of [[Kayan Way|Kayan religion]], with the country usually also classified as a {{wp|theocracy}}. No political parties or national elections are permitted. It has an {{wp|uncodified constitution}} that draws on a wide range of royal decrees, local religious practices, and [[Waripa Thought]], the proclaimed "Kaya Path to Social Progress and Harmony". It is viewed by critics as a {{wp|totalitarian}} {{wp|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 {{wp|legislature}}, {{wp|supreme court}} or {{wp|separation of powers}}. Government interference into private life is extensive, with heavy limitations put on personal expression in particular. All foreign religious organizations wishing to practice in Kayahallpa must register with the government's ''Faith Ministry List'', which places an obligatory and unrevocable demand to recognize the Sapa Inka as a divine descendant of {{wp|Viracocha|Wiraqucha}}. Belief systems that find this demand theologically unacceptable are ruthlessly persecuted as they are considered enemies to the very fabric of Kayahallpan political reality.
 
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 kiti''. 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 kiti'' 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 and performed superbly.  


==Geography==
==Geography==
Line 168: Line 163:


Kayahallpa is geographically divided into three zones: the High Antis, the Sub-Antis, and the Lowlands. The High Antis is located above 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) altitude and covers roughly 40% of Kayahallpa. The Sub-Antis surrounds the High Antis; together, they form the core of Kayahallpa's inland regions, with the exception of the far north and south, where hills gradually give way to the Lowland region's narrow, but flat coastal plains. The Lowlands contain most of the areas suitable for agriculture while the Antis is most notable for its mineral wealth.

==Economy==
{{main|Economy of Kayahallpa|Great State Council}}
The Kayahallpan state, in accordance with [[Waripa Thought]], stresses an adherence to traditional Kayan principles in organizing a largely state-controlled, {{wp|planned economy|planned}} and {{wp|palace economy|redistributionist}} economy. Despite obvious similarities to {{wp|socialist}} systems, official sources never describe Kayahallpa's economy as such to avoid any {{wp|republicanist}} connotations. A significant, semi-legalized {{wp|informal economy}} exists outside of the state's oversight in major trade areas, and multiple {{wp|special economic zones}} have been established since the 1960s. The Sapa Inka as leader of the state is the owner of the country's means of production and most workers are employed by the state in either full or partial capacity. After the Turbulent Years of the 20th century caused a significant downturn in living conditions for decades, the government has also allowed the spread of private and foreign businesses to revitalize the economy. Kayahallpa's economy is classified as a {{wp|newly industrialized country}} with a large portion of the population involved in {{wp|primary sector}} industries such as agriculture, pastoralism and fishing.
The Great State Council is responsible for the administration of the country's planned economy, chiefly through the development and execution of the [[Six-Year Plans of Kayahallpa]] and its monitoring of economic activity. Its members, which include the most powerful nobles and royalty are often considered the {{wp|de facto}} ruling party of Kayahallpan politics, taking orders only from the Sapa Inka. Their influence stretches far outside simply commandeering the economy; the Council's members are also military leaders, religious figureheads, financial oligarchs and own vast amounts of land and mineral rights.


==Demographics==
==Demographics==
 
The population of Kayahallpa was counted at 64,226,754 in the 2020 census by the Kayahallpan Statistics Agency, an increase from 56,922,691 in the 2010 census giving an annual population growth rate of 1.12% in that decade. Roughly 70.6% of them live in urban areas, up from 68.4% in 2010.

The {{wp|official language}} is {{wp|Southern Quechua|Kaya simi}}, which is by far the most spoken {{wp|Quechua}} language in the world with an estimated 75 million speakers. In Kayahallpa, it is spoken as a {{wp|first language}} by 50 million people out of a population of 64 million. There are 7 million native speakers of the {{wp|Mapuche language}} mostly concentrated in the former territory of [[Antumapu]], constituting the by far largest cultural and linguistic minority. Other languages spoken by more than a million people are {{wp|Aymara language|Aymaray}}, {{wp|Arawakan languages|Aruak}}, {{wp|Urarina language|Itukali}} and {{wp|Guarani language|Apa}}.

===Education===
===Education===
Attending school is not mandatory for children in Kayahallpa, but nearly all parents still send them in order to improve the career opportunities of their children. Primary education is divided in two parts: religious education, which teaches in proper faith and practice of the Sakbeist religion and grooms the future clergy, and modern civil education which is largely based on contemporary Oxidentalese systems.


===Health===
The wearing of a {{wp|school uniform}} is mandatory in all levels of education, the clothes almost universally provided by the educational institution or the state. Designs are standardized and are based primarily on traditional attire of the High Antis area, accomodated to modern needs and differing climates where necessary.


===Religion===
===Religion===
The area that makes up modern Kayahallpa exhibit a large degree of religious diversity, both presently and historically. The Imperial Government does not collect census on religious affiliation; nevertheless, an estimated 83% of the population follows the [[Kayan Way]], a centuries-old syncretic religion with [[White Path]] and {{wp|Religion in the Inca empire|Old Kayan Faith}} influences. The Old Kayan Faith was dominant in the High Antis cultural region from the time of the Wari civilization to the beginning of the Dark Centuries, and it was somewhat consolidated in its practices and beliefs by a process of amalgamation under the early empire. After the [[Kayahallpa-Mutul relations#Crisis of the Brothers|Crisis of the Brothers]] nearly crippled the first empire in 1623, a period of economical, social and political domination from the [[Mutul|Mutulese]] began, opening a stream of Sakbeist scribes to the administrations of local chieftains. The Old Faith soon disappeared almost entirely among the upper class, whereas the lower class of the High Antis, where Mutulese influence was weaker, largely kept their old practices intact. During the Kayan National Resurgence of the 19th century, the upper class re-adopted certain aspects of the "common faith" while the syncretization gained speed among the increasingly literate working and rural people. As a result of this convergence, the modern 'Kayan Way' was born, which draws heavily from both sources in theology and practice.
{{wp|Freedom of religion}} is nonexistent in Kayahallpa; the Constitution declares that all rights are granted to man through the worship of Sakbeism alone. There are no legal protections for non-Sakbeists, nor are they recognized to exist within Kayahallpa's borders. Kayahallpan Sakbeists are mostly followers of the Yuyaqpi school, a descendant of colonial-era movements that held Chak-Wiraqucha as the nation's patron god. The polytheistic [[White Path|White Path (Sakbe)]] faith is the only permitted religion in the country and completely dominates every stage of daily life, as all citizens are officially registered into the religion at birth. {{wp|Apostasy}}, conversion to another religion, attempting to convert a citizen to any other faith or bringing forbidden religious material into the country is illegal and may result in imprisonment, deportation (for foreign citizens) or, in especially egregious cases, capital punishment. Small communities of people who follow other faiths exist in complete secrecy, mostly {{wp|Christians}} which practice in anonymity. While foreigners are generally allowed to practice their beliefs in private if they do not otherwise violate any laws, they still face intense societal opposition; no churches, mosques or any other non-Sakbeist religious institutions exist.
 
The second largest religions grouping, at an estimated 7% of the population, are those who follow genuine Sakbeist, White Path theology. They are mostly concentrated near the Mutulese border, in several coastal seaports and in major cities, and they usually have low income levels; immigrant communities are counted here as well. While they are sometimes seen by Kayahallpan nationalists as not being 'Kayan enough', the Imperial Government has permitted Sakbeists to practice their beliefs freely. The remaining one-tenth of Kayahallpans constist of the remaining Old Kayan Faith practicioners and a small amount of believers in [[Kirizyuntupao]], [[Furózin]], {{wp|Christianity}} and various other belief systems. Irreligion is believed to be rare, even among the educated.


==Culture==
==Culture==
 
Kayahallpan culture is mainly founded on native Western Oxidentale influences, the ancient Kayan heritage from [[Belfras|Southern Norumbia]] and the societies that interacted with the [[Mutulese Ochran]]. It has played a unique and powerful role throughout its long history, contrasting with the rest of [[Ajax|Oxidentale]] due to the nation's mythology, political structure, economic dynamics, nature, and tradition. Kayahallpan art, whose aesthetic is largely dictated by the state, is dominated by the systematic combination and co-existence of the ancient Wari style and newer Kayan, Mutunese, and Ochranese styles, interpreted through modern methods and design philosophies.

The territory that now forms Kayahallpa has seen a number of writing systems used through its ancient history, some indigenous such as the {{wp|quipu}} string system, others foreign. Modern Kayans universally use the [[Kaya script]] which was originally developed from Mutuleses and southern Ochranese influences. The Kaya script is an {{wp|abugida}} where each glyph represents either a consonant, consonant-vowel pair or an independent vowel. It arose in the 1500s during the final decades of the First Empire as the first Mutuleses scribes brought their knowledge of the {{wp|Maya script|Tz'ib'najal}} and began to transcribe the local languages with it. As the vocabulary, structure and phonology of the "Southern tongues" they encountered were vastly different from their own, an intellectual movement to change and adapt it was born that would eventually make it radically different from its predecessors. After centuries of mostly uncontrolled linguistic and aesthetic evolution it was eventually officially regulated in 1912, standardizing the vast amount of geographic and social variations in usage into a single, universal system. The {{wp|Latin script}} is only commonly used for uses such as communication with foreigners, learners' material, and devices that do not support the Kaya script.

===Sports===

[[File:Mixco Viejo 10.JPG|300px|thumbnail|right|An ancient ballcourt for the ballgame near Kashamarka city]]
The heart and soul of Kayahallpa is by all accounts that of the {{wp|Mesoamerican ballgame|Oxidentalese ballgame}}, being both the most-played and most-watched family of sports in the country with traditions stretching over a thousand years. While originally developed in the [[Mutul]], its history in Kayahallpa precedes even the Wari era, and the many indigenous {{wp|Mesoamerican ballcourt|courtstyles}} and playing variants are especially cherished. It has served a variety of cultural, social, and political uses since its introduction, perhaps most notably as a mechanism for diffusing conflict. Rather than amassing manpower-costly armies, chieftains and kings of the Classical Era instead spent their wealth in maintaining the best ballgame team, with the winning sponsor of the often brutal matches claiming the right to power. Such practice lost its relevancy after the Kayan migrations but the ballgame competition between regions continues in the [[Wari Tournament]], a {{wp|professional sports league organization}} which operates several leagues for the different disciplines of the Oxidentalese ballgame.
 
Though the internationally-used [[Pitz|Pitzalk'in Ruleset]] (locally known as ''pitsi'') is today the most popular ballgame, especially after the Kayahallpan national team achieved international success in the 20th century, the "native games" thrive in traditional ceremonies. Common themes in native games include the use of a wooden stick, a playstyle similar to {{wp|field hockey}}, and the lack of any ring for which to score through, rings being a later Mutulese innovation. Ballcourts range in size from the Qusqu Divine Court at 160 meters length to primitive small mounds found in urban backyards.


===Cinema===
===Cinema===
Kayahallpan cinema is dominated by the state's official cinematic production company, the Revolutionary Kayahallpan Motion Picture Association, which is a conglomeration of all studios based in the country. Being a more recent phenomenon than music or the visual arts, film was (and in some regards still is) considered an unusually open industry where the struggles of everyday Kayans could be portrayed in striking and realistic fashion, particularly in the Democratic Constitutional era. Several film studios are almost entirely dedicated to the production of {{wp|propaganda}}, which are broadcast and distributed for free. These often contain heavy {{wp|historical negationism}} around past events in Kayahallpa, inaccurate portrayals of living conditions (at home and abroad), and frequently feature extreme political sentiments.

Kayahallpa (Kaya Simi: Kayahallpa [kæjæˈhæʎpæ]), and officially the Sacred Kayahallpan Republic and also known as Wari, is a country in western Oxidentale. It borders the Mutul to the north, Sante Reze and Yadokawona to the east, Aztapamatlan to the south-east and the Makrian Ocean to the west. The country has three constitutionally defined capital cities: the "greater capital" of Tupawasi in central Kayahallpa, and the "lesser capitals" of Tupaq Churan City in the north and Huirquihui in the south. It has a population of near 65 million and its largest city is Tupaq Churan City.

Kayahallpa has been home to many cultures stretching back at least 6000 years including the coastal Chincha civilization, the old Nahuas, the highland Warisuyu Empire, and the current Kayan society. While its history has been shaped by a number of global powers, Kayahallpan territory has almost always been ruled by Oxidentalese states.

The modern state of Kayahallpa traces its origin to the ancient Kayans, who migrated from Norumbia due to the 14th century socio-economic collapse of the Kayamuca Empire and waged war against the native Warisuyu Empire. After the Warisuyu collapsed with the 1376 Fall of Tupawasi, the competing Kayan clans fought for supremacy with the Wiraqucha Clan ultimately winning and establishing the New Kayamucha in 1434 CE. The New 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 series of wars brought Kayan power into a steady decline, which never recovered. Under the influence of Mutunese-educated rulers, most of Kayahallpa was converted to Sakbeism during the Kayan religious revolution with heavy influences from the traditional faith. Beginning in 1791, the post-Kayamuchan ruler Tupaq Churan launched a series of military campaigns and fought against the Mutulese and their subjects, officially restoring the New Kayamucha. The inability of his descendants to reconcile internal frictions and avoid costly wars led to the 1924-1927 Kayahallpan Spring, a period of rapid internal changes which led to democratic reforms. The Kayan Workers' Party dominated elections and led the country into a profound wave of industrialization and liberalization, but also provoked the ire of traditionalist and nationalist factions. In the late 1950s, KWP radical Kaman Yashakphi began to undermine the KWP itself in order to create a totalitarian ordosocialist system and expelled the last monarch, Tupaq Yupanki III in the 14 May Coup. Yashakphi was overthrown in the 1960 Kayahallpan Revolution, which established a 'revolutionary and divine republic' under Kamasqa Pitiy Achtil, followed by a decade of unrest as the communist RAA launched a guerilla campaign against the Kamasqic regime.

The Government of Kayahallpa is a Sakbeist theocracy, spiritually and temporally led by the Kamasqa, with notable technocratic elements and weaker democratic ones. The current Kamasqa since 2005 is Qaparipuyll Wuluk, who exerts power with the Great State Council. There is a legislature, which has for all meaningful purposes remained subservient to the ruling forces since the early revolution. It is a developing country with medium-high human development levels and a moderately complex economy largely dominated by the copper industry. Much of Kayahallpa 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. Large parts of the country are irrigated for agricultural production. At 1.412 million square kilometers in area, it is the fourth largest country in Oxidentale. Sante Reze and the Mutul are Kayahallpa's largest trade partners and have been its closest allies after the Kayahallpan Revolution. Kayahallpa is a member of the Common Congress and the Forum of Nations, among other international organizations.

The people of Kayahallpa come from a variety of backgrounds, mainly indigenous to Oxidentale as well as significant numbers of Norumbian and Malaioan descent. Kaya Simi is the national language, and co-official with a local language in most regions. Increases in agricultural efficiency and the abolition of settlement restrictions facilitated rapid urbanization in the mid to late 20th century, which transformed the political, social, cultural, and economic landscape of the country.

Etymology

The oldest known geographical term used for the entire area of and around the Antis mountains of western Oxidentale is Wari, from an ancient highland city of the same name, attested in records around 480 CE. Wari has continued in usage as a term for the general region in the modern day, and was introduced as the co-official name of the country during the Democratic Constitutional era. Between 1434 and 1926, the name of the state was the New Kayamucha, derived from the historical maritime Norumbian-Oxidentalese Kayamuca Empire. The name Kayahallpa was not coined before the 18th century, when it was introduced as a nationalistic rallying cry against the country's Mutulese rulers, combining the ancient empire's name with the Kaya Simi word for land, hallpa. There are two hypotheses for the origin of the name kaya itself, either being a loaned term appropriated during the age of the Kayamuca, or stemming directly from Proto-Kayaic.

Government and politics

The Politics of Kayahallpa is regulated by the post-revolutionary 1960 Kayahallpan Constitution, which established a theocracy with elements of technocracy and a limited democracy. Ultimate political authority is constitutionally defined as originating from the Gods of the Sakbeist religion, and the official Kayan Priesthood is charged with approving the Kamasqa, the nation's leader, and members to the Great State Council, the highest state organ. The Kamasqa wields complete parastatal power as their decisions canned be amended or stopped, and they are actively involved in the daily operations of the country. The Kayan Priesthood is legally based from the Sakbeist-only and holy city of Qusqu; most of the government is based in the greater capital, Tupawasi, with smaller representation in Tupaq Churan City and Huirquihui. Kayahallpa operates as a partially devolved state where local administrative units have some political authority to enact their own legislation, the country remaining de jure unitary.

Kamasqa

The government's central figure is the Kamasqa (officially Qhapaq Kamasqa, the Great Kamasqa), also known as the Divine Priest or Supreme Leader, chosen from the uppermost ladder of Kayahallpan Sakbeist leaders. The Kamasqa is the country's head of state and leads the polytheistic Sakbeist faith in Kayahallpa. The Kamasqa serves for life once elected by the upper Kayan Priesthood and wields unquestionable authority across all spheres of Kayahallpan politics, making judgements on all matters of government in the Sacred Republic. Qaparipuyll Wuluk succeeded Ruqa Qepayariyam as Kamasqa in 2005. Qepayariyam in turn succeeded Pitiy Achtil, the first Kamasqa, in 1986. The Kamasqa is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, has control of the strategic military intelligence and security operations and wields the power to declare war or peace. All three Kamasqas have formented and wielded a powerful cult of personality around themselves which encourages unabiding loyalty to their will, and all media coverage of the Kamasqa in the nation is extremely tightly controlled.

State

The most central government organs below the Kamasqa are the technocratic Great State Council, the religious Kayan Priesthood, and the democratically elected Chosen Court. The Great State Council is composed of engineers and other technical experts who are given a constitutional mandate to deliberate on various aspects of day-to-day government, most importantly to coordinate economic policy, regulate development, plan civil infrastructure, iron out labor policy, and organize regulations for Kayahallpan universities. Decisions made by the council can be delayed, but not overturned, by the Chosen Court; the Kamasqa and the priesthood can veto any of its decisions. The appointment of members to the council is controlled by the Kayan Priesthood, which is mainly tasked with maintaining the religious-ideological system of the Sacred Republic, ensuring it stays adhered to its Sakbeist foundations. The chairman of the Priesthood is the Willaq Umu. The Chosen Court is the national legislature of Kayahallpa and of its representatives, 75% are democratically elected by the people, with the remaining 25% appointed by the Priesthood. The Suyupa Rantin functions as President of the Court. Factions of the legislature are typically positioned on a traditionalist-reformist spectrum; there is heavy systematic bias against reformist politicians, with biased media reports and state-organized political violence being common, and reports have been made of extortion, psychological torture, house arrests, and unwarranted imprisonment against people critical of the regime.

Law

The Kayahallpan legal system is based on a modern Kayahallpan interpretation of Sakbeist scripture, largely inspired by the works of authors in early modern Kayahallpa, the Mutul, and the Mutulese Ochran, and the writings of modern Kamasqas, as outlined in the writings of the Constitution. The Kamasqa appoints the head of the judiciary. There are several types of courts, including public courts for civil and criminal cases, and special Courts of Sakwi which deal with certain types of offenses, such as crimes against "the character of the Sakbeist revolution". The education of judges is based on a combination of religious dogma for ethical matters and secular civil law for technical ones. The death penalty is legal and may be used for a variety of crimes including murder, treason, and blasphemy; the number of executed people or even death sentences is considered a state secret, but is likely to be hundreds of persons a year. It is not known what percentage of death sentences is actually carried out, as some of them are remitted to life imprisonment or forced labor.

Military

The military of Kayahallpa is officially titled as the Revolutionary Sakbeist Army (RSA), divided into Land, Air, Sea, and Special Operations forces; in addition, the auxiliary Kallpachay units form a paramilitary organization affiliated with the RSA. The RSA replaced the Warian People's Army after the Kayahallpan Revolution, which had replaced the earlier Imperial Kayan Army.

As of 2022, the armed forces of Kayahallpa had a total of 290,000 active, 210,000 reserve, and 346,000 paramilitary (including Kallpachay) staff, making it the Xth largest military by size; it is also a strong force in internal politics as its subsidiaries own a significant portion of the domestic economy. There is mandatory conscription for all fit individuals aged 19-28, for a total period of 12 months. Military expenditure was 4% of gross domestic product in 2022. While the country has a domestic arms industry, the majority of its military equipment overall is imported from other states.

Geography

Kayahallpa is located in western Oxidentale in the subtropics, straddling the coast of the South Makrian Ocean and extending several hundred kilometers inland. With an area of 1,414,464 square kilometers (546,128 sq mi), it is the fourth largest in Oxidentale. Located entirely in the southern hemisphere, the Tropic of Capricorn passes through the middle of the country only a few miles south of Tupawasi.

Kayahallpa is geographically divided into three zones: the High Antis, the Sub-Antis, and the Lowlands. The High Antis is located above 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) altitude and covers roughly 40% of Kayahallpa. The Sub-Antis surrounds the High Antis; together, they form the core of Kayahallpa's inland regions, with the exception of the far north and south, where hills gradually give way to the Lowland region's narrow, but flat coastal plains. The Lowlands contain most of the areas suitable for agriculture while the Antis is most notable for its mineral wealth.

Demographics

The population of Kayahallpa was counted at 64,226,754 in the 2020 census by the Kayahallpan Statistics Agency, an increase from 56,922,691 in the 2010 census giving an annual population growth rate of 1.12% in that decade. Roughly 70.6% of them live in urban areas, up from 68.4% in 2010.

Languages

The official language is Kaya Simi, which is by far the most spoken Kayaic language in the world with an estimated 75 million speakers. In Kayahallpa, it is spoken as a first language by roughly 50 million of the nation's almost 65 million people. The most commonly studied foreign languages are Mutli and Rezese.

Education

Attending school is not mandatory for children in Kayahallpa, but nearly all parents still send them in order to improve the career opportunities of their children. Primary education is divided in two parts: religious education, which teaches in proper faith and practice of the Sakbeist religion and grooms the future clergy, and modern civil education which is largely based on contemporary Oxidentalese systems.

The wearing of a school uniform is mandatory in all levels of education, the clothes almost universally provided by the educational institution or the state. Designs are standardized and are based primarily on traditional attire of the High Antis area, accomodated to modern needs and differing climates where necessary.

Religion

Freedom of religion is nonexistent in Kayahallpa; the Constitution declares that all rights are granted to man through the worship of Sakbeism alone. There are no legal protections for non-Sakbeists, nor are they recognized to exist within Kayahallpa's borders. Kayahallpan Sakbeists are mostly followers of the Yuyaqpi school, a descendant of colonial-era movements that held Chak-Wiraqucha as the nation's patron god. The polytheistic White Path (Sakbe) faith is the only permitted religion in the country and completely dominates every stage of daily life, as all citizens are officially registered into the religion at birth. Apostasy, conversion to another religion, attempting to convert a citizen to any other faith or bringing forbidden religious material into the country is illegal and may result in imprisonment, deportation (for foreign citizens) or, in especially egregious cases, capital punishment. Small communities of people who follow other faiths exist in complete secrecy, mostly Christians which practice in anonymity. While foreigners are generally allowed to practice their beliefs in private if they do not otherwise violate any laws, they still face intense societal opposition; no churches, mosques or any other non-Sakbeist religious institutions exist.

Culture

Kayahallpan culture is mainly founded on native Western Oxidentale influences, the ancient Kayan heritage from Southern Norumbia and the societies that interacted with the Mutulese Ochran. It has played a unique and powerful role throughout its long history, contrasting with the rest of Oxidentale due to the nation's mythology, political structure, economic dynamics, nature, and tradition. Kayahallpan art, whose aesthetic is largely dictated by the state, is dominated by the systematic combination and co-existence of the ancient Wari style and newer Kayan, Mutunese, and Ochranese styles, interpreted through modern methods and design philosophies.

Literature

The territory that now forms Kayahallpa has seen a number of writing systems used through its ancient history, some indigenous such as the khipu string system, others foreign. Modern Kayans universally use the Kaya script which was originally developed from Mutuleses and southern Ochranese influences. The Kaya script is an abugida where each glyph represents either a consonant, consonant-vowel pair or an independent vowel. It arose in the 1500s during the final decades of the First Empire as Mutuleses scribes brought their knowledge of the Tz'ib'najal and began to transcribe the local languages with it, which replaced the khipu and other native writing systems due to the rise of the Mutul's political and economic dominance. As the vocabulary, structure and phonology of the "Southern tongues" they encountered were vastly different from their own, an intellectual movement to change and adapt it was born that would eventually make it radically different from its predecessors. After centuries of mostly uncontrolled linguistic and aesthetic evolution it was eventually officially regulated in 1912, standardizing the vast amount of geographic and social variations in usage into a single, universal system. The Latin script is only commonly used for uses such as communication with foreigners, learners' material, and devices that do not support the Kaya script.

Cuisine

Modern Kayahallpan cuisine contains chiefly Oxidentalese, West Scipian, and Ochran-Malaio influences. The potato serves as a staple crop for much of the High Antis' rural population, of which several thousand sorts are grown in Kayahallpa in a stunning variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. Maize, squash and beans are commonly grown in irrigated fields of the northern tropical lowlands, while wheat, oats, and grapes are the main crops of the more temparate southern coastal region. Important sources of meat include fish, harvested in massive quantities thanks to the cold ocean currents off Kayahallpa's coast, llamas, and poultry.

Sports

The heart and soul of Kayahallpa is by all accounts that of the Oxidentalese ballgame, being both the most-played and most-watched family of sports in the country with traditions stretching over a thousand years. While originally developed in the Mutul, its history in Kayahallpa precedes even the Wari era, and the many indigenous courtstyles and playing variants are especially cherished. It has served a variety of cultural, social, and political uses since its introduction, perhaps most notably as a mechanism for diffusing conflict. Rather than amassing manpower-costly armies, chieftains and kings of the Classical Era instead spent their wealth in maintaining the best ballgame team, with the winning sponsor of the often brutal matches claiming the right to power. Such practice lost its relevancy after the Kayan migrations but the ballgame competition between regions continues in the Wari Tournament, a professional sports league organization which operates several leagues for the different disciplines of the Oxidentalese ballgame.

Though the internationally-used Pitzalk'in Ruleset (locally known as pitsi) is today the most popular ballgame, especially after the Kayahallpan national team achieved international success in the 20th century, the "native games" thrive in traditional ceremonies. Common themes in native games include the use of a wooden stick, a playstyle similar to field hockey, and the lack of any ring for which to score through, rings being a later Mutulese innovation. Ballcourts range in size from the Qusqu Divine Court at 160 meters length to primitive small mounds found in urban backyards.

Cinema

Kayahallpan cinema is dominated by the state's official cinematic production company, the Revolutionary Kayahallpan Motion Picture Association, which is a conglomeration of all studios based in the country. Being a more recent phenomenon than music or the visual arts, film was (and in some regards still is) considered an unusually open industry where the struggles of everyday Kayans could be portrayed in striking and realistic fashion, particularly in the Democratic Constitutional era. Several film studios are almost entirely dedicated to the production of propaganda, which are broadcast and distributed for free. These often contain heavy historical negationism around past events in Kayahallpa, inaccurate portrayals of living conditions (at home and abroad), and frequently feature extreme political sentiments.
