'''Sequoyah''' ([[Sequoyan language|Sequoyan]]: ᏍᏏᏉᏯ, transliteration: ''Ssiquoya''; {{small|Sequoyan pronunciation:}} {{color|#122080|[siːˈkɔɪjə]}}), officially the '''Republic of Sequoyah''' (ᎠᏰᎵᎤᏙᏢ ᏍᏏᏉᏯ, ''Ayeliudotlv Ssiquoya''), is a country located in southern [[Sur]]. It is bordered to the north by [[Creeperopolis]] and surrounded on the east by the [[Asequi Strait]] and to the south and west by the [[Southern Ocean]]. With an area of {{convert|1154042|mi|km}} divided into [[Provinces of Sequoyah|6 provinces]], Sequoyah is the third largest country in Sur and the tenth largest in the world. Sequoyah's largest and capital city is [[Asequi]]. As of 2022, Sequoyah has a population of 39.4 million.

Humans arrived in modern-day Sequoyah around 24,000 years ago. Around 3500 BC, migrants of the [[prehistoric-Creeperian diaspora]] arrived in Sequoyah and displaced the peoples already inhabiting the area. This displacement began the split between [[Sequoyans]]—who inhabited the coastal areas—and [[Tribal Sequoyans|Tribals]]—who inhabited the inland regions. Several kingdoms arose throughout the following millennia, and warfare between Sequoyans and Tribals was common. In the early-1500s, the [[Empire of Sequoyah]] [[War of Sequoyan Unification|united all Sequoyans and Tribals]] under one state and forced out [[Captaincy General of San Juan|Creeperian colonists]] in northeastern Sequoyah by 1518. The empire [[Fall of the Empire of Sequoyah|fell in 1876]] and splintered into four states: the [[First Republic of Sequoyah|Republic of Sequoyah]], the [[Kingdom of the Cheyall]], the [[Kingdom of the Navaja]], and the [[Caprican Republic]]. Sequoyah [[Sequoyan War of Reunification|reunited]] all four states in 1912 following a [[1900 Sequoyan coup d'état|coup d'état]] in 1900 which established a [[Second Republic of Sequoyah|military dictatorship]]. The dictatorship allowed reform in 1943 and led to the establishment of a [[Third Republic of Sequoyah|personalist dictatorship]] under Prime Minister [[Diwali Ustya]] which held power until [[1959 Sequoyan coup d'état|it was overthrown in 1959]]. The following year, a [[Fourth Republic of Sequoyah|new political system]] was established and remained intact until the [[Sequoyan Civil War]] and the [[CODECO military intervention in Sequoyah|government's overthrow]] by the [[Cooperation and Development Coalition]] (CODECO) in 2020. A [[Constitution of Sequoyah|new constitution]] was adopted in 2021 the [[National Reconstruction Party (Sequoyah)|National Reconstruction Party]] has ruled the country since 2022 with CODECO's external support.

== Etymology ==

The origin of the name Sequoyah (ᏍᏏᏉᏯ, ''Ssiquoya'') is unknown, but linguists generally believe that the name derives from the [[Sequoyan language|Sequoyan]] word ''siqua'' (ᏏᏆ), meaning "hog", arguing that "Sequoyah" means "place of hogs" in the Sequoyan language.

== History ==

{{Main|History of Sequoyah}}

=== Prehistory ===

The Sequoyan tribes followed migrating bison herds on horseback. Where they originally came from is unknown, as Sequoyan written history speaks only of the "Land northward" as where they originated from. Over 1000 years, the Sequoyan tribe began farming and forming towns while the [[Navaja]] and [[Cheyall people|Cheyall]] chose to continue pursuing a nomadic lifestyle while the Sequoyans began farming and formed a centralized polical strucuture. As the Sequoyans settled on the cost of the Senvarian sea (which allowed their population to grow), the other tribes remained on the plains inland. Over time, the Sequoyans developed metalworking, writing, and pottery independently. Several smaller tribes developed (such as the [[Capricans]], bringing the entire number of tribes in Sequoyah to 13.

=== Post-diaspora era ===

=== Empire of Sequoyah ===

From 1509-1532, under the reign of Sequoyah I, the Sequoyan tribe pushed the pastoralist [[Navaja]] and [[Cheyall people|Cheyall]] tribes out of Eastern Sequoyah entirely. This expansion was brought to an abrupt end by religious turmoil within the [[Sequoyan tribe]], as some religious leaders began to challenge the [[Creeperian Catholic Church]]'s authority, claiming that it had warped the [[bible]] to gain political and economic power. Religious divisions within Sequoyah lead to the [[5 years war]] within the tribe, as a group calling themselves the [[Samaritans]] (after the biblical group) overthrew [[Sequoyah I]] who was then exiled to [[Creeperopolis]].

In 1533, [[Odysseus I of Sequoyah|Odysseus I]] took the throne as chieftan of the [[Sequoyah Tribe]]. Under his reign, a trading relationship with the [[Navaja]] and [[Cheyall people|Cheyall]] tribes, trading farmed goods and metal tools in exchange for bison meat and animal furs. Odysseus also founded the [[Sequoyan Church]], which supported a personal relationship with God and access to the bible for all. This was known as the [[Good time]]. This time of relative peace under Odysseus would last until his death in 1570. After his death, the [[Odyssian Dynasty]] consisting of his line would hold power in the chiefdom for nearly 300 years. The dynasty supported the power of the [[Sequoyan Church]], expanding trade networks with other tribes, and pushing towards technological innovation.

=== Fall of the empire ===

=== Military dictatorship ===

{{main|Second Republic of Sequoyah}}

=== Ustya Era ===

{{main|Third Republic of Sequoyah}}

=== Modern Sequoyah ===

== Politics ==

Politics in Sequoyah are dominated by two political parties: The Whigs and the Federalists. The Federalists support manufacturing, tarriffs, and large government intervention in the economy and are socially liberal, while the Whigs support a farming based economy, free trade, and lassiez-faire economics. They also favor social conservatism. Both parties support the [[Sequoyan Transcontinental Railroad]] and the assimilation of the native tribes. The ability to pass laws is held by the Congress, while the President is supreme commander of the military. Sequoyah is divided into two legislative districts: Kalgaduv in the west, and Eastern Sequoyah in the East. Each district sends 5 senators to the Senate, while the House membership is determined by population. Currently, the Federalists control the West, while the East is controlled by the whigs. Each province can make its own laws so long as those laws don't contradict federal ones. Itse Gadu is more autonamous than the other cities. Although it has no seat in Congress, Vegas can make its own laws whether they contradict federal law or not, so long as they pay taxes to the Federal government as set by Congress.
