Chelagey (/tʃɛlɑːɡiː/ ch-e-LA-gee; Shuelan: ᏑᎡᎳ, Shuelah; Sarracese: Chélagey), officially the Chelagey Confederal Republic (Shuelan: ᏑᎡᎳᎵ ᎠᏰᎵ ᏳᏙᏢ ᎠᏂᎳᏍᏓᎸ, Shuelahi Ayeli Udotlv Anilasdalv; Sarracese: République confédérale du Chélagey), is an island country located on the island of Godrica of the Greater Alvines in the Alvinian archipelago. It comprises one-third of the island which it shares with Ochoccola to the south-west; it is otherwise separated by Algaria to the north beyond the Harlund Strait. The country is one of the biggest sovereign states in the Alvinian region, both by area, with 47,376.1 square kilometres (18,291 sq mi), and by population, with over 4.4 million inhabitants in 2019. The capital city and largest settlement is Digalua; other major cities include Fort d'Augustin, Ahcoma, Olasee, Sainte-Thérese, and Floresvalle.
The northern portion of Godrica has originally and solely been inhabited by the indigenous Shuelah people, comprised of twelve individual tribes which by the 9th century transformed politically into multiple iterations of the Shuelah Confederacy, until it came under Sarracese domination with the subsequent arrival of Martial Milhaud in 1538; though it was claimed and subjugated to colonial rule and subject to the mass slaughter of Shuelah through pillaging, the confederacy remained resistant and was eventually incorporated into the Sarracese colonial empire as a protectorate. While the nation's culture and language were acknowledged, it was still dominated by policies of racism and segregation, with the forced utilisation of the local population for the by the colonists established lucrative sugarcane, cotton and tobacco plantations. Over time, the colony grew increasingly autonomous, being ruled by an upper class of Berean colonists and free people of colour.
After more than three hundred years of Sarracese rule, Chelagey's people declared independence on 16 August 1827 in the wake of Algaria's 1818 revolutionary war and independence, triggering a brutal slave rebellion and subsequent war of independence from 1827 to 1830. While the country briefly returned to Sarracese colonial status to restore its grasp on the colony, infightings escalated into a brutal civil war and left a majority of the colony's ruling class killed upon the foundation of the Confederal Republic. It was the second republic in the Alvinian archipelago, after Algaria, and the first to be successfully founded by a slave revolt. Modelled after its pre-colonial predecessor and republican states in Berea, the country quickly grew into a major trade and industrial hub for Alvinia in the latter 19th century, though only extensive negotiations during the 1849 Conference of Aniarro with other Alvinian nations ended the ostracism of the international community.
The country slowly approached the form of a representative democracy, however, this transformation was interrupted by brief periods of authoritarian rule under Joán Baptiste in 1891-95, Omema Cheueta in 1930-37 and Clement Leroy Couchér in 1951-67, as well as multiple insurgencies and the Chelageyan Civil War (1938-55) resulting from the political upheavel of these dictators or racial disputes; the second half of the 20th century saw prone violence between the more economically rich and powerful Sarracese minority and the lower-class Shuelah majority, of which the vast majority were not enfranchised, prompting numerous riots and pleas for reform by civil rights activists, most notably Aktche Dubois Orgecala. The general election of Garnier Chattemwa in 2000 precipitated the introduction of numerous neoliberal reforms and political changes which greatly eased racial tensions mainly in the country's quickly growing cities.
The nation's population spans a variety of ethnic groups, religions, languages, traditions, and cultures. Approximately two-thirds of the inhabitants practices Semitarism to an extent, followed by a number of smaller colonial and native religions. Its diverse geography and ecology dominate the country, ranging from temperate rain forests to coastal savannahs and other wetlands; its geological makeup is shaped by the island's still active volcanic activity, which greatly influenced its past but poses a contemporary natural hazard to the population due to frequent volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and to a lesser extent, tsunamis. It is a large agricultural exporter of cotton, coffee, cocoa and palm oil, as well as iron, copper, silver and platinum through mining, though the growth of the emerging and developing economy has been largely driven by the tourism, construction and manufacturing industries in the 21st century. The country operates two official languages, Shuelan and Sarracese; Chelagey generally favors the promotion of Shuelah culture, customs and traditions, despite intense domestic and foreign criticism.
The country is a federal constitutional republic, led by a President, as both head of state and head of government under a multi-party system; the current system was defined in the constitution introduced in 1976. The economic growth, prosperity, and democratic government have made it a major player in Alvinian politics at large. It is is a member of the Assembly of Nations, Sarracophonie, X.
