Nochtlico (: Nōchtlico), officially the People's Federal Republic of Nochtlico (: Nenāhuatīliztlācatlahtohcāyōtl Āltepēhuahcāyōtl Nōchtlico), is a in South Yeongju that, with over 728 million people, is the world's most populous nation. Spanning an immense 7,500,000 square kilometers, it is also the world's second largest country in terms of area. It faces the Eastern Ocean to the west and the Mulberry Ocean to its east. The country shares land borders with A, B, and C to its north and Lu'umjiol, X, and U to its south; it also shares a maritime border with Yaxcaba to the south.

Nochtlico is known for being a cradle of agriculture and civilization - maize cultivation began c. 7000 BCE, and several early civilizations developed in the Central Nochtlican Plateau. Nochtlico experienced a period of unity and the rapid expansion of its influence from the 5th century BCE to 3rd century CE, but later fragmented into several states until the rise of the Iztaccihuatl dynasty in 1419. The period between the 15th and early 18th centuries saw a significant expansion of Nochtlican territory, particularly into the rest of South Yeongju, and was also a period in which the economy, the arts, and and philosophy flourished. Nochtlico was gradually brought under the control of Jeongmi beginning in the early 18th century, with the country officially being incorporated into the Jeongmian Empire in 1744. Due to the country's immense mineral reserves, silver in particular, and large population, the country served as a vast source of raw materials and manpower for Jeongmi. In addition to to the wealth obtained from mining silver, massive plantations were established to grow cotton for Jeongmi's industrial revolution. Independence was declared in 1941, shortly after the official end of the Great Eulhae War, which led to a three-year struggle for independence.

The country is a governed by the Communist Party of Nochtlico and divided into twenty-one republics. Nochtlico is a with immense regional power on its continent and has been characterized as a potential superpower. Currently, Nochtlico is the ninth largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the second largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). Since the introduction of market based reforms in the 1980s, Nochtlico has become one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and the country is now the largest exporter in the world. Nochtlico is a recognized nuclear weapons state and has one of the highest defense budgets in the world. It is an ecologically, home to a significant percentage of the world's unique plant and animal species. Nochtlico is a member of the Congress of Nations and was a founding member of the OSDMA. It has been an observer in the Jeongeogwon Organization since 1999. In 2018, Nochtlico received 58.9 million tourists, making it the sixth most visited country in the world.

Etymology
Nochtlico derives from the Nahuatl word nōchtli, which denotes the fruit of prickly pear cactus. The suffix -co is the Nahuatl, making the word a place name. Nochtlico is first mentioned in the Acapulco Codex as a used to describe the Valley of Nochtlico; the name was gradually adopted as an  by the people living there.

The name Nori (怒梨) was first used by Mun U-gi in Jeongmi after spending several years in the country.

Prehistoric and ancient Nochtlico
Archeological evidence for early suggests that they inhabited Nochtlico between 1.78 million and 200,000 years ago. Evidence for presence of Homo sapiens in Nochtlico dates back to c. 17,000 BCE.

The farming of maize first began in Nochtlico around 9,000 years ago, with people also harvesting crops such as beans, tomatoes, squash. The rise of agriculture resulted in increasingly dense villages, which soon became stratified towns and cities ruled by chiefs and kings. The Mazatlan culture in the Central Nochtlican Plateau developed large amounts of complex pottery around 2500 BCE and bronze metallurgy first appears c. 1900 BCE.

Classical Nochtlico


The first major empire to rise in the area was the Yodzocoo Empire, a state that had originated around the modern day Acatepec Suunavic Autonomous Region in the 8th century BCE. Various kingdoms and city-states had emerged in the Central Nochtlican Plateau, concentrated especially in the Valley of Nochtlico, and it was here where writing first emerged in South Yeongju. Lack of political unity led to frequent conflict between these valley city-states. By 406 BCE, Azcapotzalco had unified the valley and began to its lands beyond the plateau to the coasts.

Medieval Nochtlico
Nochtlico remained divided into several states following the collapse of Azcapotzalco in 272 CE. Modern Nochtlico was divided into several states, which continued many of the legacies of Azcapotzalco. Medieval Nochtlico was marked by the presence of several regional empires, such as the Suunavic Chiyoca'nu Empire controlled much of the central-southern coast. In 1419, Xochipilli successfully managed to reunite much of Nochtlico and founded the Iztaccihuatl dynasty.

Early modern Nochtlico


The early modern period saw a period of a great increase in wealth and production of goods, as well as direct contact with Sinjun maritime powers, who would stop by regularly to trade with the nation. While the seat of government stayed at Teotihuacan, Tlaxcallan and the west coast eclipsed Teotihuacan and the central plateau as the main economic center of Nochtlico in the mid-17th century.

Nochtlico would purchase weapons such as cannon from Sinjun traders and reverse engineer them; the empire significantly expanded its territory by using gunpowder weaponry against states and people groups which had not yet acquired them. The Nochtlican Empire reached its zenith under the reign of Emperor Nochehuatl. However, in 1720, the The Rebellion of the Two Princes and severely weakened the nation. In 1731, a war with Jeongmi resulted in humiliation as Jeongmian troops seized much of the west-central coast with ease and threatened Tlaxcallan.

Jeongmian Nochtlico


In 1741, war once again broke out with Jeongmi, and in 1744, Jeongmian troops razed much of Teotihuacan and left it heavily depopulated. Emperor Huitzilihuitl was taken as a hostage to Hapcheon. Jeongmi administered the country largely from the port city of Tlaxcallan, and numerous parts of the city were rebuilt to fit Jeongmian styles.

During Jeongmian rule, Nochtlico's economy was largely dismantled in order to prevent competition with Jeongmian products. Colonial policy resulted in the production of raw goods which suited Jeongmi's industrial growth and power, and heavy taxes were placed upon Nochtlico in order to further enrich Jeongmi. During the 19th century, Nochtlico was a major producer of rubber and cotton, becoming the largest producer and exporter of both early on. The commercialization of agriculture and the shift toward cash crops resulted in an increase in large-scale famines.

The Nochtlico Act of 1833 resulted in the creation of a Centerist curriculum for most Nochtlican schools and the introduction of Jeongmian as the language of instruction; several other acts promoted the usage of Jeongmian as the language of administration and high courts.

In 1850, the Nochtlican Rebellion broke out.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Sinju-educated Nochtlican intellectuals began to harbor nationalist sentiments in greater numbers and with greater passion. Over a million Nochtlican troops were recruited to fight in the Eulhae War, and following the end of the war, desire for independence had grown even stronger.

Amoxtli, one of Nochtlico's foremost nationalist intellectuals and founder of the Nochtlican Communist Party, declared the country's independence following the end of the Eulhae War, but was killed while under the custody of Jeongmian authorities in 1942, causing widespread anger to flare among the populace. Ilhicamina, Amoxtli's close friend and successor, declared war upon Jeongmi, resulting in a war of independence that resulted in Jeongmian troops withdrawing from the country in 1944, although independence was not formally recognized by most countries until the 1948 Sinsa Treaty between Jeongmi and Nochtlico.

Modern Nochtlico
Ilhicamina, newly equipped with enormous power and popularity following the victory against Jeongmi, oversaw a rapid reconstruction process involving an unprecedented level of collectivization. Following independence, the country experienced a massive baby boom which boosted the country's population from 290 million in 1940 to 540 million by 1980. Teotihuacan was rebuilt as a modern city near the ruins of the old city, and the capital was officially opened in 1965. Ethnic Jeongmian and nationals had their holdings seized and nationalized, and many who had collaborated with the Jeongmians during the war of independence had their possessions seized or were killed through vigilante justice. Nochtlico independently produced a nuclear weapon in 1962.

Ilhicamina died in 1978, resulting in Milintica taking power. Following a large famine resulting from poor weather conditions and flooding in 1979, Milintica began to tolerate more black market and gray market activity, as well as market reforms taken out by regions and counties. In the 1980s, major economic reforms were officially undertaken by the government. Nochtlico's transition from a planned economy to an increasingly open market environment were marked by the disbandment of communes, the privatization and commercialization of land, and loosened control over the personal lives of its citizens. Nochtlico has seen rapid growth since market reforms, with an average annual gross domestic product growth rate of 10.9% during the 2000s.

Climate
The Southern Tropic divides the nation into temperate and tropical zones. Land north of the tropics experiences cooler temperatures during the winter months. South of the Southern Tropic, temperatures are fairly constant year round and vary solely as a function of elevation. This gives Nochtlico one of the world's most diverse weather systems.

Biodiversity
Some of Nochtlico's native ingredients include: chocolate,, tomato, maize, , , , , , , , , , , , , many varieties of s, and an even greater variety of , such as the  and the. Most of these names come from.

Politics and government
Nochtlico is a   with a de facto, and the constitution officially espouses communism as a political ideology. The government is divided into X branches. The Huehuetlatoani serves as and  and is directly elected. The Cihuacoatl, the, serves as the head of the Federal People's Congress by which they are elected.

The Federal People's Congress is divided into the House of Nations, in which different republics and recognized ethnic groups are afforded seats, and the House of Representatives, in which there is one representative for roughly one in every 300,000 people. The Nochtlican House of Representatives is the largest state legislature in the world, being composed of 2403 members. The country is dominated politically by the Communist Party of Nochtlico, and while other parties are legally allowed to exist, they hold very limited power and must be in accordance with the Defense of the Revolution Act, which prohibits "agitation for the overthrow of the people's democratic dictatorship on any and all levels."

The constituent republics of Nochtlico generally emulate the structure of central institutions, having their own republican presidents known as huetlatoani as well as cihuacoatl as heads of government.

Communist Party
While the country is federal in nature, the Communist Party is unitary. It is the dominant party of Nochtlico, having won all huehuetlatoanial and legislative elections since the end of the Nochtlican Revolution. Membership in the Communist Party is necessary for any modicum of power at the republican level and above; all huetlatoani of Nochtlico's twenty-one republics are also members of the Communist Party. While the overwhelming majority of government officials are Communist Party members, there are several officials at the local level who are members of other, usually regional, parties, particularly in non-Nahua areas. Nonetheless, this has meant that the selection process for Communist Party candidates in elections are often hotly contested, as they are generally guaranteed to be the winner.

The Communist Party holds congresses every five years, in which the party's platform is updated and the candidate for the Nochtlican presidential election is chosen.

In school, children learn about the contributions made by the Communist Party during the Great Eulhae War in fighting the Hachuabshis and during the Nochtlican Revolution which freed the country from Jeongmian rule.

Administrative divisions
Constitutionally, Nochtlico is a federation of twenty-one constituent people's republics. While nominally a union of equals, in practice the country is dominated by the Nochtlican People's Republic, the entity which gives the entire country its name.

Economy
Nochtlico possesses a where both the government and the private sector play major roles in economic decisions. It has been termed by many as a "market-conforming control economy." Since liberalization in the late 1980s, over 200 million Nocthlicans have emerged from extreme poverty. Major industries include textiles, telecommunications, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food processing, steel, transport equipment, cement, mining, petroleum, machinery, and software. Nochtlico is the world's largest exporter of textiles. The service sector makes up a majority of the country's GDP.

Since liberalization, inequality has increased dramatically.

With a population of over 728 million in 2020, Nochtlico is the most populous nation in the world, and the only political entity in history to ever have over half a billion people, having passed this milestone in 1973. The median age is 26.8 years. Life expectancy is at 70.8 years, at 71.9 years for women and 69.7 years for men. Nochtlico has a huge sex imbalance, particularly in the countryside, where boys are more desired for work on farms. The human sex ratio, according to the 2018 census, is 948 females to 1,000 males.

Urbanization has been occurring rapidly in the past few decades; the percentage of Nochtlicans living in urban areas more than doubled from 14.1% of Nochtlicans in 1972 to 34.0% in 2020, resulting in a ballooning in the size of various cities such as Tlaxcallan and Teotihuacan.

Most people in Nochtlico adhere to Teotlism, a polytheistic and unorganized set of beliefs that has been present in the region for millennia. In 2013, it was found that roughly 80% of Nochtlicans engage in Teotlist rituals. The Communist Party is officially atheist and discourages participation in religious organizations. In recent years, however, the Party has promoted religious festivals and used religious imagery to showcase Nochtlican culture.

Various folk religions are practiced by the country's numerous minorities. Buddhism, first brought by Sinju traders in the 15th century, has been notably syncretized to some extent among various in the country.

Languages
The most widely spoken languages in Nochtlico tend to be three of families: the, , or language families. Standard Nochtlican, a variety of Nahuatl, is the sole official language of Nochtlico. Native Nahuatl speakers composed 86% of the population in 2012; while it is classified as a single language by the government, Nahuatl has multiple dialects of which several are mutually unintelligible. However, the usage of dialects is discouraged by the government and many are slowly becoming closer to Standard Nochtlican. Standard Nochtlican was constructed by the government in 1948 in order to remove loanwords from Jeongmian and use more native vocabulary, and is largely based upon the Teotihuacan dialect. In 2015, it was estimated that around 62% of the country's population spoke Standard Nochtlican as a first language. An indigenous logographic writing system was developed around the 7th century BCE, which eventually evolved into the. However, ways of transcribing Nochtlico's languages using also began to take hold following colonization.

Jeongmian came into widespread use among the country's elite following Jeongmi's colonization of the country in 1744. Jeongmian was the language of administration, high courts, and of instruction beginning from the early 19th century; the language has heavily influenced the languages present in Nochtlico. Following the country's independence in 1944, Jeongmian was gradually phased out and replaced with local languages, then Standard Nochtlican for most purposes beginning in 1948.

Education
Nochtlico was the first state to impose universal compulsory education in 1438, with three different types of education based upon class and gender. Taught at home for the first fourteen years of life, people attended and lived in educational institutions until their early twenties. Sons of nobles attended institutions known as calmecac, in which they would receive a general education, learning subjects such as history, mathematics, philosophy, literacy, medicine, and theology. While promising sons of commoners could attend calmecac, most attended schools known as telpochcalli, in which they received a technical education focusing on agriculture specializing in various trades, but also studied history and religion. Women learned household skills, how to perform religious rituals, healing, craftwork, and entertainment; institutions for girls were also segregated by class.

The literacy rate increased rapidly after independence, rising from 13.2% in 1944 to 59.8% in the 1978 census. In 2018 the country had a literacy rate of 91.2%, although there remained a significant in literacy rates among men and women, particularly for older generations.

Since 1985, compulsory education has consisted of and. There have been criticisms for the gap in quality between rural and urban schools.

Nochtlico has suffered significant from the migration to educated Nochtlicans to wealthier countries, Jeongmi, Hachuabsh, and Hokan in particular.

Music


The poetic and symbolic nature of the Nahuatl language and writing systems was carried over into their music. Each place, each god, each thing would often have multiple names. Music in old Nochtlico was a combination of dance, ritual, instruments, vocals, and even whistling.

The marimba was introduced in the 17th century and found great popularity in Nochtlico. Public performances of marimba ensembles are often seen throughout the country.
