Comanche Confederation

The Comanche Confederation was a Native American empire which originated from Kansas. The nation controlled the entirety of the continuous United States, British Columbia, Mexico, Central America and Bermuda. It eventually grew to become the largest native state in history, and found the First Nations union alongside the Inuit Empire. It was considered a superpower of its time, alongside the Second Ottoman Empire, who was also its ally.
As the first major Native American nation in centuries, it's conquests led to a new period of Native American domination over the continent of North America, which was only broken centuries later. After the assassination of Cochise, the nation collapsed, leading to the collapse of the First Nations itself, as the Inuits were unwilling to take control over their territories. It was the largest native-controlled state in North America and the second largest nation ever in North America, only being smaller than the CSA.
== History of the Comanche ==
=== Founding of the Confederation ===
The Comanche Confederation was formed in 393AD by Nokoni Kotsai, a Comanche chieftain who united the region between the Colorado, Arkansas and Platte rivers under a federal monarchy. In the next few years, it conquered south towards the Euskadi, east towards the main Platte river, and west to California. They annexed California in 397AD, which became the nation's main naval hub. This greatly expanded their territory. They also made a border agreement with NETS, with its northern half being respected by both sides up until the fall of the ANR.
=== Conquest of the Great Plains ===
With California annexed, the Comanche shifted most of their focus north, as it was their only real way of expanding further. By 400AD, they had reached Canada, bordering Cascadia, while also taking all lands west of the Missouri river. They also later expanded into the former territory of Cascadia. With Virginia losing much of their territory in 405AD, the Comanche chose to expand southeast towards their old territories west of the Mississippi. The lands of the Najavo people were also ceded to them peacefully by Mexico. They annexed the Oklahoman tribal state during 410AD.
Despite this massive expansion, the Comanche would suddenly stop their massive expansion between 411AD and 428AD. This was most likely in order to further integrate the people in their confederation. Not much occurred besides that during the two decades of nearly no expansion. Their largest expansion was the annexation of Texas in 417, giving them another coastline. This period of dormancy ended with the death of Nokoni Kotsai in 428AD.
=== Reign of Cochise Kotsai ===
Nokoni had no children of his own, so his nephew Cochise Kotsai became the new chieftain. He immediately began expanding the nation once more, due to the looming threat of European invasions into the Americas. He joined the Greater Atlantic Defensive Pact. Them and their new allies, the Ottomans and Qikiqtaaluk, began preparing to kick out the European states in America. With Sweden realizing the potential threat of the Comanche, they gave up their colony in NY during 429AD to avoid a war. The Comanche began expanding to connect to New York, and also annexed the Caribbean Empire.
With land near Occitania's colony, the Comanche then began to pressure Occitania to cede their own colony to them and Qikiqtaaluk. Despite their attempts to prove that they had no claim on the region, their attempts were in vain. They ceded their Quebec colony to Comanche under pressure from the Ottoman Empire, with it being divided between Qikiqtaaluk and them by the Saint Lawrence. With the smaller European states removed from the continent, they completely focused on expanding into the territories between their northeastern and southeastern lands.
In a single year, a massive area was annexed into the Comanche Confederation, stretching from Nova Scotia to Georgia. This was followed up by another large expansion the next year into the rest of the unclaimed United States. In 433AD, they declared war upon the German Empire with the Inuits in the Great Arctic War. This war led to the end of all European colonization of North America for nearly a century, and the end of European dominance on the continent.
=== North American unification ===
With no European threats left, the Comanche continued to expand north, annexing lands in modern-day British Columbia and Alberta, reaching southern Alaska before stopping. They also annexed Panama in 436AD, taking the Panama Canal. After multiple marriages between their royal family and the Inuit Empire's royal family, they merged into a single nation, the First Nations. This nation lasted for the next decade, with the two members of the union working together to remove European influence from the continent.
The Comanches collapsed suddenly in 453AD. Since the Inuits did not want to take their land, the First Nations union was also dissolved.
=== Legacy ===
After the Comanche collapsed, a long period of Native American dominance in North America began. Their primary successors included the Lakota and Iroquois Nations, alongside the Peedee Confederacy. This streak of dominance only ended after multiple European nations began to recolonize the continent, which was helped by the United States. The Comanche are still a major ethnic group in their homeland today, and are today one of the largest tribes in North America.
