= Tepodalia =

History

 * Jeongmian colonization
 * settler colony due to good climate and soil (and gold?), large Jeongmian and mixed population, native Tepodals marginalized but still around (Spanish America style)
 * overrun and occupied by Hachuabsh in Eulhae, they set up a native-run collaborator government that persecutes Jeongmians under a "Yeongju for Yeongjuans" philosophy
 * Jeongmians take over again after war and persecute natives in return, lasting racial mistrust
 * settler led independence in late 40s/50s (contrast to what eventually happens in Ahwaimuwu, this is the scenario that the native Ahwaimuwese don't want)
 * not sure if formal segregation/apartheid or formal racial equality with unofficial discrimination
 * long struggle for racial equality (Hachuabshi involvement, cold war salience?)
 * eventually culminating in 80s/90s with first native president/PM, Tepodal finally being made co-official language, etc
