Siwi Kondre

SiWallqanqa (officially known as the Most Serene Kingdom of SiWallqanqa), is a constitutional monarchy located in South Avalonia. It is divided into nine provinces and an overseas territorial region, covering an area of 867,776 km2 and containing a population of between 95 and 110 million people. The capital is Willkapampa, however its largest city is the Lamara Jatha Metropolitan Area. Other major cities are Port Hope, Thep'tura and Vilque.

SiWallqanqa is descended from the Chona Empire (1200-1558) that covered much of the Paracas region. It survived through numerous successor states, Willkapampa and Tiwanaku united in 1832 forming the Kingdom of SiWallqanqa. Since 1627, Tiperyn had been colonising the region into the Viceroyalty of Pauwonia. The De Vries War (1856-1861) saw the Kingdom of SiWallqanqa reconquer its former territory and remove the colonial government, establishing SiWallqanqa's modern borders.

The nation only recently emerged from a bloody civil war (2015-2017) and has been in a phase of political and infrastructural reconstruction since then, aiming to reestablish itself as a regional power, under a new populist monarch.

Ancient History
Tchiawpi (non-political name of the region of SiWallqanqa, also called the East Paracas) has been continually occupied by humans for over 1.5 million years, with organised communities and large scale construction for approximately 6000-8000 years. Small irrigation projects have been discovered that are over 10,000 years old, with first signs of large scale organised communities carrying out irrigation projects on the Wiphala river since 5,100BC and on the Loa river since 4,800BC. This long history and extensive knowledge of irrigation, canal building, and making water last, along with crops suited to it, have led to the region being a major food basket for the region for thousands of years.

Ancient Civilisations
Tchiawpi has been home to three major ancient civilisations dating before 1100AD. The first was the Paracas civilisation, from 800 to 350BC which occupied the southern coasts of the Paracas from Urubamba bay to Sinaya, centered on the Great South, Tsurin and Thep'turan river valleys. This empire's successor state was the Neo-Paracas civilisation, from 160BC to 190AD, an empire centered on the two capitals: Tchetchuan in the west and Old Tullanen in the east. It is believed a prolonged dry period led to the collapse of both empires.

Wars of Religion
During the period between the collapse of the Neo-Paracas Civilisation and the rise of the Luerbache Empire, there was a widespread time of conflict and popular unrest throughout the Paracas region, although primarily focused in the Tchiawpi region. A schism in the Inunaist religion of the Chona and Che peoples, between traditional polytheism (Inunaism) and the new reformed monotheism (Nunaism) exacerbated existing tensions of ambitious post-imperial warlords, peasant revolts, ethnic strife and resource conflicts.

The polytheists (Inunaism) believed that the monotheist (Nunaism) teachings would fall victim to absolutism and fundamentalism under a monotheistic "perfect" deity and would cause all to fail this cycle of. After around 200 years of intermittent and often unrelated conflicts, the monotheist (Nunaism) movement was effectively wiped out, confined to a few remote holdout communities. During the time of conflict, the monotheists built thousands of forts, redoubts, grottoes and caves, often carved into the sides of cliff faces and mountains, to defend their communities. became something of a cultural practice of the monotheists, however many of these surviving structures have been repurposed into strongholds by modern insurgent groups.

Luerbache Empire
The Luerbache Empire of the Che people, existed from 950 to 1100AD, starting on the Betellen river in modern Arumpampa, it spread to the coast then conquered the river valleys of Tchiawpi. Its collapse was brought about by ethnic conflict between the Che conquerors and the majority Chona eastern half of the empire.

The Luerbache Empire survived as a rump state until it was conquered by the Chona Empire in the 13th century, however following the collapse of the Chona Empire, it reemerged as the Neo-Luerbache State.

Colonial Wars
In the summer of 1627, the Tiperyn colonial mission recieved royal authority to commence colonisation of the Paracas coast, specifically the Tchiawpi region. From 1627 to 1690, the Tiperyn colonial authority set up multiple colonies and protectorates throughout Tchiawpi (known to the Tiplansk as Shorpi), engaging in various campaigns of peaceful assimilation, violent conquest, power brokering between rival groups and economic dominance. The end result being, the total domination of the Tchiawpi region below the Tropic of Capricorn, and considerable influence over the lands north of that.

In the summer of 1627, the Tiperyn colonial mission received royal authority to commence colonisation of the Paracas coast, specifically the Tchiawpi region, to exploit its silver mines and cash crops. Through the 17th and 18th century the Tiperyn colonial authority, later reorganised as the Viceroyalty of Pauwonia, through peaceful assimilation, violent conquest and power brokering between rivals, managed to effectively dominate the Tchiawpi region below the Tropic of Capricorn.

In 1654, the Tiperyn colonial mission achieved its first great victory by conquering and colonising the Principality of Loa (a Chona Empire successor state) and four years later conquering its vassal state, Mukallin.

From 1730 to 1810, the Pauwonian "Territorial Corps" (also known as the "Native Army") made several expeditions up the Loa river to attempt to conquer the Lampa State of the Aytakatnu valley, the first 4 of these expeditions failed to varying degrees. However the fifth expedition, the Rjinders-Kelsey Expedition, a punitive expedition in repayment for the previous defeated expedition, managed to successfully capture the hill pass central to control of the river valley. The pass was renamed Kelsey's Gap in honour of the expedition.

The Vilque War
The Kingdom of Vilque and the Principality of Tessa were two Imperial successor states on the east coast of Tchiawpi whom the Tiperyn colony desired to incorporate. Tiperyn had supported Tessa against Vilque for decades and was instrumental in coercing the Vilque vassal state of Enquyi to defect to Tessa in 1728. 20 years later, Tessa and its vassals, Enquyi and Cuscrya, were incorporated peacefully as a tributary state of the Tiperyn Viceroyalty of Pauwonia. In 1761 Pauwonia and Tessa were able to conquer Vilque and incorporate it into the Pauwonian Viceroyalty.

Kingdom of Willkapampa
WORK IN PROGRESS for rest of history Tiwanaku and Willkapampa city-states and vassals unite under Willkapampa monarch Pacha 9 to form Kingdom of Willkapampa

De Vries War
SiWi reconquers the south from Tiperyn

Imperial Era
SiWi modernises further, rehabilitation of colonial settlers as citizens and race relations, imperialism and foreign policy, invasion of Betellania and purchase of Pukara and Nideroccia

Military Dictatorship
1886-1912, a military dictatorship under war hero Generalissimo Huenchamilla Mudka, and his successor when he got too old to do it full time, Generalissimo Andreas Kapalla-Astaña. Their conquest of the South Sea islands (that become the Overseas Territorial Region) from AyG and Tiperyn, and the planning of the campaign to invade Betellania. Them being pushed out by the equally as Imperialist King Mikael Pachu.

Gilded Age
The first half of the 20th century, when SiWi was one of the most modern and strong countries in the world. Exporting raw materials heavily to West Artemia and East Kesh. And capitalising on technological developments like; commercially viable refrigerated ships, early typewriter and teletypewriter systems and synthetic rubber & plastic

Decline & Interregnum
Slowing of SiWi's economic power and weakening of its military and political power. Transition from a neoliberal free market economy, to a pseduo-socialist coordinated market economy

80s to 2010s
Just a general slow trend of decline, with two economic booms (late 1980s due to Viral Control Project increasing maize & sugarcane exports)&(mid 2000s due to Uka-Chae Maize increasing agricultural exports) and a recession in the early 2010s. Political problems, with PASR power increasing in the face of a liberalising Albaterra who is no longer the SiWi Governments enemy. Lowest point of SiWi military, economic and political power.

Civil War
SiWallqanqan Civil War SiWi formerly allied with rebel military group who hates Albaterra, and even permit some integration/cooperation with SiWi military. Albaterra changes and now the SiWi gov doesnt hate them, but the rebels still do, and they have connections now. And now they think since you're not in the fight against Albaterra anymore, you are their enemy. they want political power in SiWi to force SiWi to be back in the fight, and finally when the opportunity is right, they attempt to get power and start a civil war. They lose.

Recent History
Postwar reconstruction, repaying foreign debt incurred during war, restructuring of political system/de facto parties, and emerging populist power of Queen Nina and a potential move towards absolute monarchy. White Ribbon Society political bloc emerges and begins pushing for increased military spending and mass surveillance for safety/security, with popular support from voters, likely to get 1/5 of Parliament seats in next election.

Language
Approximately 85% of SiWallqanqan people speak or  as a first or second language, and 32% can speak  as a first or second language. 14% can speak, and around 5% can speak. yMarian, Quechan and Vallisian are recognized as official languages, with Tiplansk and Koryese as recognized minority languages.

As yMarian and Quechan possessed no written form, the was adopted from colonial influence.

Government
The Most Serene Kingdom of SiWallqanqa has been subject to several governmental changes throughout its existence, however a bicameral aseembly and a monarchy have been constant since its formation in the late 19th century.

People's Parliament
The of the Diet of SiWallqanqa, the People's Parliament is a partisan assembly with 293 seats that sits for a term of 9 years. There is no primary party, elections typically provide an overwhelming majority of independant candidates, and coalitions are more of informal voting blocs. The induvidual candidate with the most votes wins in their electorate, and gains a seat for themselves. Some parties are able to secure multiple seats, and run candidates in mutliple electorates, but the majority of seats are awarded to independent candidates focused on their own electorate.

The Prime Minister is the and is elected from the 293 members of parliament. The election of a Prime Minister is carried out by a majority vote of the incumbent members of parliament. At the start of every year, the Parliament may choose to vote upon a new Prime Minister if they wish, but rarely do.

The Sub-Chancellor, is the non-partisan presiding officer of the People's Parliament. They are chosen directly by the monarch, and may only dismissed by the monarch.

Regent Ministry
The of the Diet of SiWallqanqa, the Regent Ministry is a non-partisan body containing 67 members. The incumbent monarch acts as the presiding officer and also possesses limited veto power over all votes. The Prime Minister of the People's Parliament is permitted to sit and participate in discourse in the Ministry, but has no voting power.

Each of the 9 Provinces receive 4 seats in the Regent Ministry, with those 4 being voted on by the MPs of their respective Province, and then approved by the Monarch. In addition, 20 seats of the Regent Ministry are given by the Monarch, at their discretion. Finally, 11 additional seats, go to the representatives from major departments; 5 lead judges of the Judiciary, 2 members from the Treasury, 2 members from the Royal Household (typically expected heirs or respected elders), and 2 members from the Ministry of the Interior.

Legislative Process
The People's Parliament bring forward and draft bills, which are then passed by a 3/5 majority to the Regent Ministry. The Regent Ministry, then vote to approve, amend or deny the bill, which is approved by the Monarch. In addition, the Regent Ministry can also suggest bills to the People's Parliament, which are expected to be immediately addressed.

Succession
Upon the death or abdication of a Monarch, the Royal Household will determine amongst themselves which of their family members they will put forward as a candidate for Monarchy. If the Royal Household is unanimous, then the Regent Ministry will have only a single candidate to choose from for the next Monarch. However if the Royal Household is not unanimous, and any other number of members of the Royal Family wish to come forward as candidate for the election, then the Regent Ministry will vote upon which member they wish to choose. With the Royal Household permitted to add a single vote, worth 20 votes, forward for their preferred candidate. However this is not frequent.

Notable laws
Lèse-majesté is enshrined in the laws of SiWallqanqa. As is the death penalty for the crime of high treason. The age of consent is 17, although in the past was only 12. The culture and law of SiWallqanqa has permitted homosexual and gender-diverse people to free and legal protection from persecution, and the ability to marry freely, for almost 600 years.

Economy
The economy of SiWallqanqa is partially nationalised, with the Royal Household controlling several major industries, chiefly mining, agriculture and solar energy, (currently under construction in SiWallqanqa is the worlds largest solar power plant). The Royal Household also maintain the Department of Business, whose task it is to evalutate private enterprises, and determine whether it would be more efficient to nationalise or allow the private enterprise to continue, this only affects large scale businesses in regions where the Department can maintain its oversight.

Mining industries mainly focus around copper, antimony, silver and tungsten deposits, which are exported worldwide. Mineral sands and precious stones form the remainder of major mining operations. Solar power plants are mainly focused around the large arid infertile regions in the east and north-east, but also developments are being made on converting fishing trawlers and cargo ships into moving solar collectors. Until the 1960’s coca was legally grown as a cash crop, but has since been criminalized following international pressure. A variety of staple crops are grown in SiWallqanqa, mainly cassava and sorghum. However due to the efforts of Princess Nina, large areas have been developed for rice and corn cropping, which would produce much more food for the applied effort and resources, however these projects are only in the early days. Cassava forms a major staple in poorer regions, and also serves as an export, producing tapioca pearls for international bubble tea chains.

Poverty
A significant amount of the population of SiWallqanqa is believed to be below the poverty line or unemployed. This widespread unemployment has been blamed on a series of minor recessions between 1990 and 2010, however the result has been civil unrest that eventually led to the SiWallqanqan Civil War.

The Royal Household commissions and funds the healthcare services in most regional divisions, allowing affordable healthcare for the majority. The Royal Household also operate a series of communal housing complexes, to house those who would otherwise be homeless, however these facilities have often been overpopulated and ill equipped.

Lamara Jatha and the north-eastern regions are the poorer areas of SiWallqanqa, with the Royal Enclosure, Port Hope and the West Coast maintaining an income level at or higher than the national average.

Military
The national military force of SiWallqanqa is the SiWallqanqan Protection Force. It is the leading force of the Union of SiWallqanqan States and Republikas (USSR) alliance. It is allied with Zahava through the Arcanium Entente and part of ECOSEAS security agreements. It is believed to have around 600,000 servicemen and another 200,000 in reserves (not including paramilitary groups and the National Gendarmerie). It is believed that the USSR alliance has over 1 million active servicemen, with potentially a further 2-3 million in reserve.

Following the Interregnum Crisis, the Royal Navy had its funding significantly reduced during the 1980s. This trend continued service-wide through the 90s and early 2000s as the military as a whole saw a gradual reduction in funding. During the Civil War, the military was rapidly rebuilt and developed, and it is currently unknown what the post-war active service numbers are. Due to current political trends it is believed that the Protection Force will continue to grow and modernise into a substantial regional force. The "New Effectiveness Standard" bill is under consideration in the National Diet, and if it passes, the Protection Force aims to become a leading and highly capable military force by 2040.

Culture
A large youth demographic has bred a fairly modern social scene in most major cities, with nightclubs, bars and cafes being a massively growing industry. SiWallqanqa is also considered a popular tourist destination, mainly along the coastal region. This is especially apparent amongst LGBT and other minority groups, for its very accepting social attitudes towards attitudes that would be considered non-traditional elsewhere. Lamara Jatha is particularly well known for a thriving EDM and house music scene, being home to many international musicians and singers, who often take advantage of the favourable currency exchange rate, to purchase large mansions and compounds at cheaper prices.

TV, Radio and Print Media
The SiWallqanan media world is dominated by three major networks.
 * Doorhees Company, controlling the GE3 Media Group, which operates the GE News Network (print and tv news media)
 * Station SiWi Company, controlling 2S News Group (print, radio and tv news media) and Kayan Cross-News
 * Llakqta Media, controlling Llakqta News, Llakqta Global, Llus News Group and TV Avalonie (print, radio and tv news media outlets)

Organised Crime
Organised crime is an ever-present threat in SiWallqanqa, with organisations profiting off unregistered coca plantations, producing narcotics that are smuggled internationally. Also making use of the relative poverty of many people in inland towns, to entice people into human trafficking or other manipulative enterprises.
