Sinaya

Sinaya, officialy the Republic of Sinaya (Quechuan: Republika Qumirasuy) is a country in Southern Avalonia, on the Tethys Ocean. It borders Jinhang to the east, Arum Republic and TR to the north.

Quechuan Kingdom of Sinaya
Formally established by the Kingdom of SiWallqanqa in 1935, alongside the independence of other SiWallqanqan subjects, keeping the SiWallqanqan monarchy at the head of each nation. Sinaya existed for 61 years as a Quechuan monarchy.

1996 Constitutional Crisis
In 1996 a constitutional crisis occurred when King Waskar 2 of Sinaya (nephew of King Pacha 14 of SiWallqanqa) overstepped his legal limits by using his royal prerogative to dissolve the Legislative Assembly for the second time that year, following continued efforts to introduce an anti-corruption bill. During the period of the dissolution, Waskar utilized his royal mandate to seize control of government institutions to consolidate and expand his power. This blatant show of corruption and his overstepping of his legal limits caused protests in the Luercal, Tchetchuan and Virginia Provinces. Waskar's ill-advised response was to sieze control of hydroelectric dams in those provinces and shut them off, denying the people water and electricity in an attempt to force them to submit. This action turned public opinion heavily against him, and caused the SiWallqanqan government to withdraw their implicit support of his government.

At this time, political dark horse Katari Song, a private businessman who owned many of the nations hydroelectric damns and who was influential with the military, carried out a daring move. Using volunteers military brigades he regained control of his dams and restarted water and electricity to the public, earning him massive public approval and support.

Following an official inquiry carried out by King Pacha 14 of SiWallqanqa, King Waskar 2 abdicated and returned to SiWallqanqa. Pacha proceeded to dissolve the official monarchy of Sinaya and appointed Katari Song as the new head of the ministerial council.

Possible Motivations for Pacha's Move
Popular opinion behind the motives of King Pacha's controversial decision dissolve his own royal authority in Sinaya has been the source of much speculation, but common opinion is that it was a desperate effort to prevent a civil war in Sinaya that might cause a wave of republicanism throughout the Paracas region. It is also believed that it may have been an effort to put Chairman Song in a position that had more limits and was answerable to the Monarchy, rather than allowing Song unchecked power.

Republikan Era
Since 1996, Sinaya has been a functioning Republika nominally dependant to SiWallqanqa, however it has enjoyed large scale economic successes not seen in SiWallqanqa. This has likely been due to the Song Government's willingness for laissez-faire capitalist international trade and rapid digitization of society.

Belhavo
In 2002 Chairman Song ordered the Military Police of Belhavo (MPB) to remove the Mayor of Belhavo and instituted the Colonel of the MPB, Nicholas fan Cleij, as the Acting-Mayor, in an effort to remove opposition to his economic progress and political power. Since then Belhavo has been positioned to eclipse Tchetchuan as the primary city of Sinaya, and Belhavo has also been the starting point of Sinaya's mass surveillance and biometric ID system, with the intention to provide complete security for the citizens of the city.

SiWallqanqan Civil War
During the SiWallqanqan and Arumpampan Civil War, the SRAF assisted SiWallqanqan government forces in removing the Arumpampan Communist rebels from Arumpampa and acted as a peacekeeping force in the area until the ARMO and the new Arumpampan state had the capacity to safely rule again.
