Kaaichneen

The United Republics of Kaaichneen, commonly known as Kaaichneen, is a of over 70 million mixed Kaaichese people. Kaaichneen is semi-equatorial, bordered to the north by Nochtlico and surrounded by sea on the Beenoshli Peninsula. To the west of the Peninsula is the Gulf of Yaxcaba(Standard Kaaichese: Yashkab).

The most populous city is the capital district, known as Nulikaay. Kaaichneen is comprised of various smaller republics, a total of 14, united under a confederation. These small republics, each known as a Nu'ush, retain autnomous democratic governments. A Nu'ush is focused around other large metropolitan areas, such as Tipan, Ushkuy and Chlan. A large amount of Kaaichneen is protected and government owned land.

Civilization on the Beenoshli Peninsula is one of the oldest to date, with artifacts and abandon settlements dating back roughly 9,000 to 10,000 BCE. Powerful kingdoms were formed, comprised of many Chiefdoms, in the Peninsular Classical era. At the height of power on the Beenoshli Peninsula, the Ahkabnili Empire rose with a militaristic dominion and trade routes were expanded across the seas. In the 4th century, the empire would collapse but leave a lasting cultural mark on the Peninsula, entering the Ha'ch Era. This era was full of political infighting for domination over the Peninsula and lasted until the 12th century, when merchant city-states rose in higher prominence over the Chiefdoms with their growing wealth.

Greater contact with Sinju would provided more profitable trade and the exchange of technology. This factor contributed the the city-state's defense against Nochtlico's imperial ambitions, with the Peninsula largely staying independent through a series of border conflicts and invasions. Trade had also introduced philosophy from Yoju and Sinju, syncretizing with local beliefs to evolve Kaaichneen's local spiritual traditions. Buddhism(whatever the regional analogue is) in particular, took hold on the Peninsula, blending local architecture and foreign in the form of temples. The Peninsular city-states slowly industrialized in the mid-19th century, however infighting and a decentralized effort would slow their progress. Repeated invasions by Jeongmi would fail, until the city-states would collapse in civil war due to a Jeongmi blockade on peninsular goods. In addition, the eruption of Mount Hekal would destroy one major city and damage others, in addition to an ongoing drought.The Jeognmi blockade, in addition to natural disasters and drought, would start a famine.

Sinjuzation took place under colonial vassalage, with continuing famine troubles. Colonial rule was known as the Blood Years(Kuywelye), due to insurgency, brutal rule and famine. A collectivist revolution would overthrow the Jeongmi-backed monarchy across the peninsula, and united the nation under a nationalist collectivist government. The militaristic regime would collapse in 1975, replaced by the republican government that sought to mend foreign relations. The post-Kuywelye High Times, brought relative economic prosperity and ended the strain of food insecurity.

Today, Kaaichneen is a rival to Nochtlico and has reprised it's role as a regional trade power, however still has inherent demographic and political left over by colonial rule.
