Hachuabsh

Hachuabsh, officially the Socialist Commonwealth of Hachuabsh (: Hachuabsh Lyumang,  합추아쓰륜망) is a sovereign state in northern Yeongju. It faces the Great Eastern Ocean to the east and borders Tlakwaan to the north, Illahee to the west, and Tepodalia to the southeast. With an estimated 101 million inhabitants, it is the second most populous country in Yeongju.

Since antiquity, the modern territory of Hachuabsh has been continuously inhabited by several ethnic groups, most prominently the along the central coast as well as the  and  in the interior. Civilization began in Hachuabsh due to an abundance of and other resources in the country's rich waters, along with the cultivation of  such as  introduced from south Yeongju and Jungju. Traditionally, Hachuabsh has been an important trading crossroads between Sinju and the Yeongju.

Due to a variety of factors- including luck, relative political unity, location, and a lack of desired commodities in comparison to other areas of Yeongju such as Nochtlico- Hachuabsh managed to avoid colonization by the Sinju powers. Beginning in the 1860s, a massive modernization and Centerisation campaign was carried out by elites that dramatically restructured the politics, economy, and society of Hachuabsh; transforming the country into an industrialized great power. Hachuabsh went on to establish a throughout West Yeongju.

During the Great Eulhae War Hachuabsh invaded several Jeongmian and Meisaani colonies throughout Yeongju, reaching as far as northwest Nochtlico and A'hwaimuwu. However, as the war dragged on the Hachuabshi military found itself increasingly overstretched, surrendering after a series of allied landings on the island of Hweshed made it clear that the war could not be won. Immediately following its surrender, Hachuabsh experienced a communist revolution led primarily by over the span of two months that resulted in the overthrow of the X clique and the dissolution of the Hachuabshi empire and the independence of Illahee. The Socialist Commonwealth of Hachuabsh was established shortly afterward in June of 1943. Throughout the latter half of the twentieth century Hachuabsh would support various communist insurgencies throughout Yeongju and Cheongju.

Prehistory and Antiquity


Hachuabsh is likely to have been inhabited by as early as 125,000 years ago. were present in the area by 10,000 BCE after the end of the last.

Evidence has established that a small settlement at S’abš in the Sduhubš river estuary has existed since at least 3,000 BCE. The first inhabitants of the central Hachuabshi coast were. These early Hachuabshis sustained themselves through primitive forms of ; primarily of salmon from rivers and the ocean. , and other marine invertebrates gathered from  and  hunted in thick  covering the region were important supplements to the fish-heavy diet of the early Hachuabshis.

Traditionally, the Hachuabshis used during late summer and early autumn to maintain lowland prairies and grassland for harvesting economically significant plants; especially, , and. Later on, these practices became more commonplace and standardized as cultivation of and  was slowly introduced to Hachuabsh throughout the first and second millennium BCE. This caused profound but gradual changes in societal organization. Seasonal patterns of movement between winter villages and temporary camps used in the summer for fishing, hunting, and berrying became less pronounced as some households began practicing agriculture. Thus, permanent, year-round settlements, usually near estuaries and other locations on the coast, began to emerge throughout this period. These changes, along with the invention of stukwalukw - intricate used for exploiting spring  - resulted in a population boom throughout central and northern Hachuabsh that lasted over the span of several hundred years.

By 500 CE the Hachuabshis had established a large network of interconnected villages and settlements throughout the, and island chains of central and northern Hachuabsh, as well as the northern coast of Hweshed. Widespread usage of ocean-going built from  allowed for the development of sea-based trade and warfare. Hachuabshi records indicate that some trade expeditions, usually sponsored by rich households in a village, reached as far as Kealakekua. This period was characterized by increasing movement toward a complex and hierarchical society, with the development of an upper class nobility. were acquired through war between the Hachuabshi clans as well as from the upriver and. Wealthy Hachuabshis built large, ceremonial with intricate designs on their facades that are the earliest examples of an indigenous Hachuabshi artistic tradition.

The first and second centuries CE saw the emergence of several powerful clans in central and northern Hachuabsh. The most prominent of these clans, the P'udilabš - literally drifted up people - went on to establish a large kingdom near Túlq around 320 BCE.

Gwuqíl Confederacy
From the 13th century until the early 19th century coastal Hachuabsh was slowly consolidated under a tight-knit confederacy of clans known as the “Qwa clique” centered around the modern city of Túlq at the mouth of the Hibulb river. The Qwa’s expansion throughout this period drew it into multiple conflicts with its rich neighbor(s) to the northwest (Illahee) whom were eventually conquered and incorporated into the budding empire. This resulted in the spread of Hwulshucid (North & South Puget Sound Lushootseed) from the central coast of Hachuabsh, which became the informal lingua franca of the region.

Imperial Hachuabsh


In 1864 Hokan invaded Hweshed off the southern Hachuabshi coast in order to gain direct control over the island’s rich whaling waters. The quick nature of their defeat shocked Qwa elites and underscored the growing military superiority of the industrialized Sinju powers. Several unequal treaties were forced upon the Qwa at the end of the war, opening up the country to exports from the Sinju countries, devastating local cottage industries and the wider Habchuaschi economy.

The chaotic and revolutionary environment following the war allowed reformist factions to gain control over the ruling clique of clans in Túlq. In the ensuing years massive institutional reforms were undertaken, beginning with the abolition of slavery and the gradual transition from a lineage and clan-based land ownership system to a Sinju model of private ownership.

By 1867 the reformists had achieved a major coup by completely abolishing the clan/confederacy political structure, establishing a centralized state which was to be organized largely along the lines of the modern Sinju empires (and ruled by the reformists as oligarchs). This drastic move sparked discontent among the rich and powerful clans of modern-day Illahee, where a rebellion was defeated in 1868 by a newly established central army.
