**Ululiona-Linulu** is a Native American country located on the border of Mexico and the United States. The capital is Ximopopocatelisto-ugu-Anarara, often shortened to just Ximo, and is also the country's largest city.

## Etymology

The country's name come from the two tribes that inhabit the region, Ululiona and Linulu.

## History

The two tribes that inhabit the region have long cooperated with each other, as they were both dependant on each others' resources in order to survive. The Ululiona tribe are mainly resource gatherers, which helped create the weapons of the Linulu tribe, and the Linulu tribe had more resources and were able to raise livestock, thus giving food and water to the Ululiona tribe.

When the Spanish came to the region, they mainly left the region alone, as they didn't want to spend too much money fighting in a hot desert, however they still claimed the area as their own. When Mexico gained independence, so did Ululiona-Linulu.

### Xumo accords

In the aftermath of the Mexican-American War, whilst they were drawing the border, arose the problem of trying to figure out what to do with Ululiona-Linulu. They decided to use the country as a buffer state between Mexico and the United States. In 1851, Mexico and the United States signed the Ximo accords of 1851, which they would both recognize the independence of Ululiona-Linulu in exchange for diplomatic relations.

Shortly after the signing of the Ximo accords, Ululiona-Linulu originally claimed the land that both tribes originally inhabited. As Baja California would be cut off from the rest of Mexico, Mexico bought the southern portion of their land in order to keep the two states connected, and gave them their own sovereign port on the city Puerto Peñasco to give them free access to international waters, as they were a landlocked nation.

The United States bought the northern part of the Linulu land as they believed that their land contained much gold. In exchange, Ululiona-Linulu requested to keep their mining town of Kalaxíxí Akwalatimiquatl, with free access to roads that would bring the miners back to the mainland.

## Geography

Ululiona-Linulu is located on the border of the U.S. state of Arizona and the Mexican state of Sonora, in the northern portion of the Sonora Desert. The country is located just east of the San Andreas Fault, and due to this tectonic activity, they were able to acquire their sacred Quatl-xíxínokoa Questl-akqwakali volcano fields. The tallest point in the country, Tlaqlaxíkipetl Niquloa, standing at 3,900 feet (1,190 meters), is located in these fields.

Although the country does not have any natural lakes and rivers, most of the water supply is generated from a huge underground aquifer in the north Linulu region, fed by underwater springs sourced in the Linulu mountains. Prior to the 1950s, they had canals and storage tanks to transfer the water. Now, water is either pumped or drawn from wells that connect to the aquifer, and is then transferred down to the Ululiona region via the Linulu pipeline, that was constructed in the 1950s.

The two regions that make up Ululiona-Linulu are Ululiona, located in the south, and Linulu, located in the north. The capital acts as its own separate entity within the country. There are also two exclaves that are directly controlled by the capital, Kalaxíxí Akwalatimiquatl, a mining district, and Quatlxíxínokoa Questszlsakatanangotl, a port surrounded by the Mexican city of Puerto Peñasco.

## Geography and politics

Ululiona-Linulu is ruled by a 30-person council, which itself is made up of 15 people from each the Ululiona and Linulu tribes. Even though the council itself collectively makes decisions as both the head of government and state, but they elect one person to be the "orator" of the nation, which acts as a representative of the council to the people of the country.

## Economy

The Quatl-xíxínokoa Questl-akqwakali volcanic fields, located in the Ululiona region, were rich in minerals, such as lithium. Thus, this gave Ululiona-Linulu a headstart in the second industrial revolution.

## Foregin relations

Ululiona-Linulu has very close ties with both the United States and Mexico. Both countries are Ululiona-Linulu's largest export and import partners, and both Mexico and the United States have an obligation to protect Ululiona-Linulu with each others militaries' in case problems arise. Each country has also signed into a free trade agreement.

Due to the high amount of Japanese diaspora living within Ululiona-Linulu, Japan maintains close ties with them, and is also one of the only countries that has an embassy within Ululiona-Linulu. Japan has also given millions of dollars to the country in order to establish infrastructure project and culture centers relating to the Japanese people. They also offer many scholarships to residents of Ululiona-Linulu.

Panama has close ties with Ululiona-Linulu, as the latter sent many workers over to Panama in order to complete the Panama Canal. Some workers decided to emigrate to Panama, creating a small diaspora community of Ululiona-Linulu natives within Panama, mostly located within the northern Panama city of Colón.

Several tribes located within the United States and Mexico have all looked up to Ululiona-Linulu, as sort of a symbol of Native American sovereignty. Today, Native American tribes such as the Pueblo, Tohono O'odham, Navajo, Apache, and Hualapai, have had many inter-tribal meetings and gatherings within the country.
