Creeperopolis, officially the Holy Traditionalist Empire of Creeperopolis,[note 1] is a country primarily located in Sur parts of its territory in Ostlandet and Tierrasur. The largest part of Creeperopolis is bordered to the north by the Principality of Montcrabe; to the south by the Republic of Sequoyah and the Senvarian Sea; to the west by the Sea of Castilliano, the Kingdom of Salisford, and the Imperial Republic of El Salvador; and to the east by the Bay of Salvador and the Southern Ocean. Additionally, Creeperopolis controls the San Carlos Islands, 400 miles southwest of mainland Ostlandet, claims territory on the continent of Tierrasur, and completely enclaves the client state and religious country of the State of the Church. With a land area of 4,048,930 mi2 (10,486,681 km2), Creeperopolis is the largest country in Sur and the fourth largest in the world. Creeperopolis' largest and capital city is San Salvador, is located near the geographic center of the country along the southern coast of Lake San Salvador; other major urban areas include Adolfosburg, Salvador, San Romero, La'Libertad, Victoria, Chalatenango, La'Victoria, and Tuxtla Martínez. As of 2019, Creeperopolis has a population of 532 million, making it the most populous country in the world.
The earliest origin of a Creeperian civilization is the proto-Creeperian civilization which existed in modern-day northeastern Creeperopolis. Its earliest dates put its formation at around 1650BC, and during its existence, various city-states and small kingdoms coexisted and often warred with each other for dominance and power. The civilization ended in 250BC following the eruption of the Chicxulub volcano. The Creeperian Confederation was formed in 220BC as an alliance of the seven largest tribes of the Proto-Creeperian civilization, and following the War of Creeperian Unification, the seven tribes were united for form the Kingdom of Creeperia in 537AD by Felipe I. Creeperia was conquered and destroyed by the Caliphate of Deltino in 745AD by Caliph Abdul I bin Abu Kharzan. In Creeperia's place, the Emirate of Rabadsun was established as a client state to the Deltinian Caliphate under the puppet rule of the descendants of the brother of Fidel II, Rudulifu I. One of Rudulifu I's descendants, Alfawnasu III declared independence for Creeperopolis on 8 February 1231 initiating the 114 year long Creeperian Crusade. The kingdom was ruled by Alfonso I under an absolute monarchy, justified with divine right and the approval of Pope Gregorio XI. The absolute monarchy came to an end in 1565 when the First Parliament of Creeperopolis was established following the tyrannical reign of Miguel V which prominantly featured the Honduran Genocide in 1535. Following a failed attempt to restore the monarchy by King Carlos III, the Republic of Creeperopolis was established, but it was soon abolished following a peoples' revolution which reestablished the monarchy under Adolfo II. Adolfo II's son and successor, Manuel III, overthrew the Parliament in 1771 and later declared himself Emperor in 1778 reestablishing the absolute monarchy. Shortly after his death, a 7 year-long war of succession raged in Creeperopolis from 1783 to 1790 between two rival brothers of the House of Martínez, Manuel and Salvador, both of whom were sons of Manuel III. Manuel IV was victorious, but the Creeperian Revolution of 14 June 1833 saw Salvador III's grandson overthrow and kill Manuel IV, becoming Adolfo III. The Emperors succeeding Adolfo III were relatively short lived and inefficient due to the establishment of a Second Parliament in 1887. From 1877 to 1933, the Creeperian Conservative Coalition and the People's Social Coalition struggled eith each other for control of the Parliament leading to violence such as the 1912–13 Creeperian Protests, the Reigns of Terrors, Christmas Coup, San Pedro Incident, and the Crisis of 1928. The Creeperian Civil War errupted in 1933 between the Catholic Imperial Restoration Council, known as the Romerists, and the National Council for Peace and Order, known as the Miguelists, effectively ending the Parliament. The deadliest war in Creeperian history was marked by war crimes, massacres, terrors such as the Red and White Terrors, and even genocide. The war ended in 1949, and Romero I of the Romerists would eventually be canonized as a saint in the Creeperian Catholic Church by Pope Juan Pablo II as a martyr in 1987. Creeperopolis is a founding of the Terraconserva Council of Nations. Currently, Alexander II rules as Emperor, rising to power following the 2003 Creeperian coup d'état which deposed Alfonso VI and the Alfonsisto. Creeperopolis has been ruled by the Nationalist Creeperian Catholic Royal Initiative and the Pro-Fatherland Front of Unification (IRCCN y la'FPPU) since 1949.
The Creeperian economy used to be heavily reliant on coffee but is now reliant on aircraft manufacturing, textiles, sugarcane and coffee, fruit, coal and iron exports, and oil refinery, making it the world's second largest economy at ₡94.4 trillion colóns, second only to Quebecshire.[note 2] The country continues to struggle with massive wealth inequality, rampant crime and crime rates, four ongoing internal armed conflicts, rampant government and corporate corruption, and unprecedented poverty rates of 20–25%. The official currency of Creeperopolis is the Creeperian Colón and it has been since the relinquishment of the Creeperian Dollar following the 2003 Creeperian coup d'état. Creeperopolis has been commonly called terms such as a dictatorship, fascist, totalitarian, police state, and banana state, many of which have varying degrees of accuracy.
Etymology
The name of Creeperopolis (Creeperópolis) derives from Creeperia (Ցրեէպըռիա), the name of a kingdom which existed from 537 to 745 in modern-day northeastern Creeperopolis, and the Eleutherian suffix —opolis (—όπολις), meaning "city". Creeperia translates as "place of the Creeperans" from the Old Creeperian language; the origin of the name "Creeperans" is unknown, but it has been theorized to mean "River People", in reference to the Xichútepa River, which was the primary source of water for the civilization. The suffix of —opolis was applied to the name Creeperia to form "Creeperopolis" in the 1200s; at the time, the Creeperans began a crusade against their Islamic rulers and applied the suffix to relate their struggle to that of an ancient Eleutherian legend of the city of Mégistopolis, which overthrew its tyrannical ruling class in the 279 BC. The Creeperans at the time wanted to relate their struggle to that of Mégistopolis, and named their kingdom "Creeperopolis".
By the mid-1300s, Creeperopolis was a large kingdom which encompassed much of central Sur, but the suffix —opolis remained. Since the 1800s, there have been some efforts to rename the country back to Creeperia and remove the —opolis suffix, but those efforts failed to gain much popular support. "Greater Creeperopolis" (Creeperópolis Mayor) has been another name suggested as an alternative to only "Creeperopolis".
History
Prehistory
Historical and archaeological research indicates that the first humans arrived in modern-day Creeperopolis around 24,000 years ago, with the oldest human remains being found in the modern-day department of San Romero near the San Romero River (previously known as the Xichútepa River). Historians believe that the first humans arrived by boat from modern-day Montcrabe through the Bay of Salvador, as a crossing of the Creeperian Range is considered to be unlikely.
Archeological sites dating from 26,000 BC to 2500 BC have been categorized as being prehistoric Creeperian. The site of the prehistoric Creeperans have yielded human remains, animal remains, preserved homes and tools, and remnants of cave art. Among the animal remains discovered at the various sites were those of domesticated mammals and now-extinct reptiles. The majority of prehistoric Creeperian sites were discovered between the 1950s and 1970s when the country engaged in many large-scale construction projects. Most prehistoric Creeperian sites are located in the modern-day departments of Cantoño, La'Libertad del Norte, Salvador, and San Romero.
Around 3500 BC, an event known as the prehistoric-Creeperian diaspora occurred when prehistoric Creeperans migrated out of modern-day San Romero. Groups of prehistoric Creeperans migrated south into modern-day southern Creeperopolis, western Creeperopolis, and Sequoyah; the descendants of these migrants include the Castillianans, Rakeoians, Senvarians, and Sequoyans. Around the same time, another group of Creeperans migrated east. They traveled by boat; most settled in modern-day eastern Creeperopolis, while others travelled across the Southern Ocean and eventually reached modern-day Lurjize and the San Carlos Islands. The descendants of these migrants include the Atlántidans, the Lurjizeans, and the Native San Carlos Islanders. The reason for this mass migration from Creeperopolis remains unknown, but is speculated to most likely be a result of the need for more land.
Proto-Creeperian civilization
In 2500 BC, the first known use of written language was recorded in Creeperopolis, marking the beginning of the proto-Creeperian civilization. During the first third of this period from 2500 BC to 1650 BC, known as the Inalikauitl (Pre-Old Creeperian for "Early Period"), the Creeperans were organized into city-state-like communities along the banks of the Xichútepa River and the shore of the Bay of Salvador. The reason for the rise of the city-states during this period is unknown. Although the city-states were organized into small local chiefdoms, there was no central authority which spanned across the entire civilization from western Cantoño to southern La'Libertad del Norte.
The Ueykauitl ("Great Period") began in 1650 BC, the year that the first true nationstate arose in the proto-Creeperian civilization: the Kingdom of Xichútepa. The kingdom, which many scholars believe is legendary or even mythical, is said to have been founded by Huitzilopochtli, who was the god of the Sun, the god of war, and the god of the gods of the Creeperian pagan religion. He established the title of tlatoani ("one who rules") and reigned until his death in 1611 BC. He was succeeded by Tezcatlipocachtli (1611BC – 1584 BC) and then Chicomexochtli (1584 BC – 1578 BC).
The Kingdom of Xichútepa ended in 1578 BC it was overthrown by the Kingdom of Cuscatlán which was established by Topiltzin in 1580 BC; Topiltzin was a cousin of Chicomexochtli and is traditionally believed to be the ancestor of all Creeperans alive today. The kingdom's first thirteen kings from Topiltzin I (1580 BC – 1551 BC) to Tecpancaltzin IV (1270 BC – 1233 BC) are only known through the Great Lineage of Tlatoanis, a list of the kings of Cuscatlán produced during the 2nd century BC; no archeological evidence from any of their reigns has been found. Tlatoani Topiltzin VI is the first ruler of Cuscatlán with attested archeological evidence, as a statuette of him dating to the 15th year of his reign, 1218 BC, was found near the city of Santa Rosa in 1956.
Topiltzin VI was deposed in 1199 BC and replaced by Tlacomihua I, beginning a 73-year period of military dictatorship known as the Inauatil in Teyaochiuanimeh ("Rule of the Warriors" or "Rule of the Generals"). Hereditary monarchial rule was established by Mixcoatl I in 1126 BC, and his descendants ruled until 888 BC—with an interruption between 1040 BC and 999 BC—when they were deposed by Kukulkan I. His son, Kukulkan II, was the last ruler of the Kingdom of Cuscatlán, as a civil war fractured the kingdom in 867 BC, ending the Ueykauitl, although Kukulkan II's descendants continued to rule the rump state of the Kingdom of Tsakinatil until 620 BC.
The fall of Cuscatlán led to the beginning of the Tsakikauitl ("Late Period"), where various kingdoms arose in the territories which were held by Cuscatlán. Among the most powerful kingdoms of the Tsakikauitl include the Kingdom of Metapán, the Kingdom of Izalco, and Kingdom of Nahuizalco, and the Kingdom of Apaneca, and are collectively considered to be "Four Great Kingdoms". The period is known for its general instability, as warfare existed among the various kingdoms which were attempting to reestablish a domain with the same size and power of the Kingdom of Cuscatlán. Additionally, Apanecan and Nahuizalcan records dating to the 6th century BC describe a large scale invasion from a group of people known as the Uitstlanik Tlakah ("Southern Peoples"); there is little to no information or archeological evidence to determine who these invaders were, but it is generally believed that they may have been the proto-Senvarians.
In 250 BC, the Tsakikauitl and the proto-Creeperian civilization as a whole came to an end as a result of the eruption of the Chicxulub volcano. The plinian erupted, ranked as a level 7 or super-colossal eruption, completely destroyed the volcano, leaving behind a caldera lake where volcano once stood. An estimated 32 cubic miles (133 cubic kilometers) of volcanic ash were ejected into the atmosphere, burying the surrounding area under a layer of ash which was 45 feet (14 meters) deep. Additionally, the eruption resulted in a shift in global weather patterns, leading to decreased global temperatures over the succeeding two years.
The eruption caused famines across the proto-Creeperian civilization due to widespread crop failures and led to many wars waged by the various kingdoms to secure themselves food and supplies amidst the eruption. The amount of people who were directly killed by the eruption is unknown, but is believed to range in the thousands, and that hundreds of thousands more died as a result of the ensuing famines and wars. Very little information is known from this period, and is sometimes referred to as the "Creeperian Dark Age". By 220 BC, historians believed that "effectively all" of the kingdoms of the Tsakikauitl and reduced the surviving Creeperans to being organized into local tribal chiefdoms.
Creeperian Confederation
In 220 BC, after what is believed to have been a 30-year period of warring between various tribes following the fall of the proto-Creeperian civilization, seven tribes—the Amacha, the Chihueta, the Iloqutzi, the Imnoqueti, the Llohechue, the Tzachu, and the Xuhuetí—formed a loose military alliance between themselves and established a de facto political entity among themselves called the Cuēpieopoxūeta ("Land of the Creeperans"), referred to by modern historians as the Creeperian Confederation. Its capital city was selected to be Xichútepa (not related to Old Xichútepa, the capital city of the Kingdom of Xichútepa), which was also the capital city of the Chihueta. Although each tribe was lead by a tlatoani, the confederation was collectively led by a leader known as the tlen se tlatoani ("first one who rules"), and the first tlen se tlatoani chosen by the confederation was Machtitín I of the Chihueta.
From 200 BC to 145 BC, during the reigns of Machtitín I, Machtitín II, Matzio I, and Catzlóche I, the Creeperans constructed the Great Pyramid of Xichútepa, the largest pyramid in the world by volume and surface area. The pyramid served as the religious center of the confederation, and was the primary location where humans were sacrificed by Creeperian pagan priests to their gods. Additionally, beginning in 139 BC, the pyramid was also the location where the confederation's quasi-government distributed grain and food to Xichútepa's poorest residents, known as the Imakaka in Sentli ("Giving of the Maize").
During the construction of the pyramid, Catzlóche I waged war against the Atlántidan tribes after a period of Atlántidan raids on Amacha towns and cities. In reaction to Catzlóche's campaign, the Atlántidans united and formed the Atlántidan Confederacy led by Cahualan to resist the Creeperian invaders. The Creeperans decisively defeated the Atlántidans at the Battle of Acatepec in 153 BC, killed Cahualan, and forced the dissolution of the short-lived confederacy. As a result, the Atlántidans were forced to pay tribute to the Creeperian Confederation and surrender slaves to help rebuild Tecuauh after the city was sacked in 155 BC, held build the pyramid, and be used as human sacrifices. From 145 BC to 540 AD, the Creeperans raided Atlántidan territory for more slaves to be used in construction projects and to be sacrificed.
The confederation came under threat of invasion in late-111 BC when three legions of the Romanyan Empire commanded by Quinctilius Varus, Marcus Caelius, and Servilius Geminus crossed the Creeperian Range on an expedition to survey the land south of the mountain range for a potential future military campaign and annexation. In May 110 BC, the Romanyan expedition was ambushed by the Creeperans during the Battle of the Xichútepa River, resulting in a decisive Creeperian victory and forced the Romanyans to withdraw, never again sending another expedition south of the Creeperian Range. The battle was led by Tlen se Tlatoani Chepín I and he had the surviving Romanyan captives sacrificed at the Great Pyramid of Xichútepa throughout the succeeding 30 years.
Chepín I had the longest reign of any Creeperian monarch, reigning for 68 years from 130 BC to 62 BC. Following his reign, nine of the last eleven tlen se tlatoanis had exceptionally long reigns; all of them reigning for over 50 years, and six reigning for more than 60 years. Historians attribute their longevity and long reigns due to the Creeperian tradition of selecting an eighteen-year old to be the next tlen se tlatoani, as the Creeperans worship eighteen primary gods, and that they were exceptionally cared for by their subjects throughout their lives.
Following the death of Ahuiliztli II in 520, the confederation fell into civil war, as six of the confederation's seven tribes selected Ozchaxar I to be the next tlen se tlatoani, while Ahuiliztli II's son, Ahuiliztli III of the tribe of Amacha, declared himself as the rightful tlen se tlatoani, wanting to return the confederation to a hereditary monarchy. The ensuing civil war, known as the War of Creeperian Unification, lasted until 537 with Ahuiliztli III' decisive victory at the Battle of Xichútepa which resulted in Ozchaxar I's suicide and the end of the Creeperian Confederation.
Kingdom of Creeperia
After his victory at the Battle of Xichútepa, which has been traditionally dated as 15 September 537, Ahuiliztli III proclaimed the establishment of a hereditary monarchy and united the seven tribes of Creeperopolis under one nationstate. The nation was called the Kingdom of Creeperia and was the first nationstate which had existed in the region since the end of the proto-Creeperian civilization. Xichútepa was declared as the country's capital city.
The kingdom and people continued to follow the Creeperian pagan religion until 540, only three years after the kingdom's establishment, when Pope Vigilius I arrived in the kingdom after being exiled by the Northern and Southern Romanyan Empires during the Great Schism of the Christian Church. Vigilius I managed to convert the Creeperian royal court, and soon, the kingdom's population was converted to Christianity. As a part of their conversion, many Creeperans adopted Hebrew, Eleutherian, and Romanyan names, including Ahuiliztli III, who changed his name to Filip upon his baptism. Additionally, he ordered the cessation of human sacrifices and abandoned the city of Xichútepa, including the great pyramid which was seen as a pagan monument. He established a new capital city called Yerkink (Old Creeperian for "Heaven") and he ruled from the city until his death in 568.
In 571, the kingdom came under threat by a joint-Northern and Southern Romanyan army which was sent to kill Pope Ioannes III in an effort to end the Great Schism. The Creeperans, led by Ioannes III and King Zinum I, prevailed as the victors of the Battle of the Three Popes, which resulted in the death of Northern Emperor Constans III and ended the Great Schism, when antipopes Ioannes III and Felix IV abdicated and recognized Ioannes III as the rightful pope. The battle is considered by historians to be the beginning point of the modern Creeperian Catholic Church, which remains Creeperopolis' official and dominant religion.
Zinum I was assassinated and usurped in 598 by his younger brother, Ferdinand I, but Ferdinand I was himself assassinated in 601 by Zinum I's son, Zinum II. He was succeed by his son, Zinum III, upon his death in 613, but Zinum III disappeared less than a year into his reign and was succeeded by his uncle, Filip II. Historians believe that Filip II killed Zinum III in a bid to ascend to the throne. Filip II was succeeded by his son, Rramiro I, who was the longest reigning king of Creeperia, reigning for 41 years from 659 to 700. He is considered to be the second most important king of Creeperia, after Filip I, for his contributions to recording the history of the Creeperian Confederation. During Rramiro I's reign, the Codex Amara was written which documents the history of the confederation from its establishment to its dissolution. Most of the current knowledge about the confederation is only known due to the codex,, however, only around 50 to 60 percent of the codex have survived. He was succeeded by his son, Jeyms I, upon his death.
Throughout the kingdom's existence, its language shifted from Pre-Old Creeperian to Old Creeperian, but both languages were completely different from each other, not even belonging to the same language family. The Great Creeperian Language Shift remains a unsolved mystery within history and linguistics, but some scholars have proposed that a mix of Romanyan and southern Surian influence combined with the Pre-Old Creeperian language to form an entirely new language.
The kingdom's final ruler was Jentlmen II, who ascended to the throne in 732 after the death of his father, Jentlmen I. In 739, Creeperia was invaded by the Caliphate of Deltino, a nation of Islamic Arabs which was exiled from Ecros over Islamic theological disagreements. The Deltinians, led by Caliph Abdul Hazem II bin Abu Kharzan, and later Abdul Humaidaan I bin Abu Kharzan, invaded Creeperia to expand their domain and spread their sect of the Islamic religion. Assisted by Pashpanut, a cousin of Jentlmen II who sought the throne of Creeperia, the Deltinians captured Yerkink on 11 July 745, ending the Kingdom of Creeperia.
Emirate of Rabadsun
After the fall of Yerkink in July 745, Abdul Humaidaan I proclaimed the establishment of the Emirate of Rabadsun, a Creeperian-administered client state of the Caliphate of Deltino, and named Jentlmen II's younger brother, Rrudolf I, as its emir, instead of Pashpanut; after his installment as emir, Rrudolf I ordered the execution of Pashpanut for treason against his country and own family. Rrudolf I recognized Abdul Humaidaan I as his superior, and in 747, he changed his name to Rudulifu I to abide by the caliph's decree that all Creeperans must adopt Arabic or Arabic-translated names. The city of Yerkink was renamed to Rabadsun. Although the Deltinians defeated Creeperia in 745, some Creeperans continued to resist the Deltinians in the Xichútepa jungle until the 1110s, even forming the rump state of Neo-Creeperia which existed from 767 to 1001.
_(14784104832).jpg)
Although the Deltinians' primary language was Arabic, they also introduced the Spanish language to the continent; Arabic was the caliphate's governmental and religious language and common among the ruling class, while Spanish was more commonly spoken by the poor and peasants. Over time, Spanish replaced Old Creeperian as Rabadsun's primary language, while at the same time, Arabic spread to all Deltinian social classes. The Creeperian dialect of Spanish completely replaced Old Creeperian by the 1000s, but the language continued to be used by the Church for religious purposes.
The emirate was ruled by the Amara dynasty until 1120, when Emiress Mariaan I—Creeperopolis' only ever female head of state—was deposed by her husband, Alfawnasu I, with the support of Caliph Salim III bin Abu Rahimi, who did want a woman to be the head of state of any of his client states. Alfawnasu I was a member of the Martiniz family, which traces its origins to the Emirate of Córdoba of the 600s; the family gained power in Rabadsun in the 840s after a war waged by Pelayo Martínez de Córdoba. The Martiniz dynasty held the position of emir until the emirate's abolition.
Throughout the existence of the Emirate of Rabadsun as a Deltinian client state, the Deltinians permitted all conquered peoples, including the Creeperans, to continue practicing their own religions, but offered tax exemptions to those converted to Deltinian Islam. Creeperans who converted to Deltinian Islam have since been referred to as Islapóstas (Creeperian Spanish for "Islamic Apostates"). This policy of tolerating non-Islamic religions within the caliphate's territories continued throughout its existence until October 1230, then recently installed Caliph Sulayman III bin Abu Arshad issued the One-Religion Decree, which mandated that all Deltinian subjects, including the Creeperans, must convert to Deltinian Islam or face a military response to force conversion or kill those who resisted.
News of the decree reached Rabadsun in January 1231, and the Creeperian Catholic Church invoked the Second Council of Rabadsun to discuss the consequences of the decree and what action should be taken. On 8 February 1231, Pope Jiryjuriun IX announced that the council had rejected the caliphate's decree and Emir Alfawnasu III declared independence for the Emirate of Rabadsun, renaming his domain to the Kingdom of Creeperopolis, beginning the Creeperian Crusade.

Upon the declaration of the kingdom of Creeperopolis, the Creeperian War of Independence began and an estimated 30,000 Creeperian rebels overpowered the Deltinian garrison in the city. Once the city was secured and the Deltinian military presence was destroyed, Alfawnasu III changed his name to Alfonso I, the name of the royal family from Martiniz to Martínez, and his title of emir to king. This was replicated by Pope Jiryjuriun IX, who changed his name to Gregorio IX, and the city of Rabadsun being renamed to Salvador (Spanish for "Savior", in reference to Jesus Christ). This policy of changing all Arabic names to Spanish names was known as the De-Arabization and was enforced to separate the newly established kingdom from their former overlords. The Deltinians responded to the Creeperian uprising, but following a second battle in Salvador in March 1231 and the Battle of Edfu in October 1231, Sulayman III formally recognized Creeperian independence. The kingdom's banner was the same as that of the emirate: a black and white swallowtail but with the central star and crescent removed.
In April 1231, around 200 Creeperian Catholics were killed in the city of Alqarya which resulted in the formation of the Creeperian Inquisition and the mass killings of Islapóstas within Creeperian territory. The deaths of the 200 in Alqarya reinforced to the Creeperian people that the conflict against the Deltinians was not only a war for independence and sovereignty, but also a religious war between Creeperian Catholicism and Deltinian Islam.

Creeperopolis' population has increased by 5–8% every ten years since 1950 due to high fertility rates.

From the 1950s to 2000s, Creeperopolis' population rapidly grew but has relatively slown down since 2000 due to the modernization of the country during the 1990s to present.
