**“Diversity, Unity, Prosperity”**

Flag of Aisequrioe

The **Federation of Aisequrioe** (/aɪseqaʊərioe/ Ilkursiee: **Aiskurioe** or Aisekain: **Aisekiure**), or most commonly known as **Aisequrioe** is a political union of 2 soverign states in Bruvania – Illqurioe and Aisekai. The union comprises across 2 continents of Bruvania and Varkesi and is the largest country in Bruvania and the 1st most populous country in Aitrune. Aisequrioe borders Mysrtins in the west and Nadakasa in the south, sharing a maritime border with Virtaria and Wasimaw. The Hwenyao Mountain Range and Ulaie Peak, the highest point in Aitrune is located in Aisequrioe.

The nation is divided to 3 prefectures; the prefecture of Aisekai, Illqurioe, and the prefecture territory of Uzkia. The de facto capital of Aisequrioe is the city of Toekai with the de jure capital being the city and former capital of Illqurioe, Henzhen. The economic and financial centers of the country are Taiyen, Eisekare, and Xlaie. The northern part of the country is consisted of low flat plains, with the middle being a dense rainforest and the western being mostly mountainous. The country is also home to one of the largest Confucians and Shinto populations with the cities of Xayle and Altaar being home to a few of the most holiest shrines and/or temple sites for the 2 religions.

The country is one of the most highly developed countries in the world and has a great power in global politics in influence. The nation's economy is one of the most developed and largest economy in Aitrune and is also a top performer in national performance with it's high rates of healthcare, education, quality of life, civil liberties and human rights, technology, and human development. Aisequrioe's climate also varies from a humid continental in the south and a boreal in the north. The country also prefers a neutral approach and opinion towards war situations whenever necessary.

## Etymology

The name "Aisequrioe" was created as a clipped compound of the names of the two nations that unified to establish the country: Illqurioe and Aisekai. The name consists of the first three letters of **Ais**ekai and the last 6 letters of Ill**qurioe** to form the name Aisequrioe. The military of Aisequrioe uses the codename of Iqak for military operations, where they kept several bases named as Iqak (west or east) (sequential numeral).

The name Illqurioe is derived from the Ilkursiee word "Illkurioe", there are several interpretations for the meaning of the word, including "prosperity", "diversity", or a possible clipped compound of all of the original 8 clans of Illqurioe in the Ilkursiee language. The name could also possibly refer to it's terrain.

The origins for the pre-state name of Aisekai is still relativity unknown, with several interpretations of the word's translation.

## History

### Pre-history

#### Paleolithic period

Many massive successive waves of human migrants, mostly hunter-gatherers arrived on the middle northern and western northern portion of Aisequrioe using watercraft boats since 94,000 years ago. Though little evidence of Aisequrioe's pre-history remains, it is suspected and deducted through archeological findings, ancient runes, and fossil remains that the discovery of unique edge-ground axes in central northern Aisequrioe dated to over 28,000 years ago may be evidence of the first Homo sapiens in the region. There is also evidence of human habitation has been dated to 32,000 years ago in Changyuan's Yamasho Cave, up to 25,000 years ago in Mecha's Kapporo Cave, and up to 27,000 years ago in Eiskare's unnamed cave, with all of them becoming national heritage sites for the country in the present-day.

The populaces, culture, and transport in the two regions of Aisequrioe then shifted majorly due to the Hwenyao Mountain Range seperating and isolating the two regions of the region, with the inhabitants in the middle northern half of Aisequrioe being named as Ilkursieeans and the western portion of the inhabitants in the region being named as Aisekains. Many famous folk tales and inscriptions of Aisequrioe were written by many ancient authors and scholars during this time. Evidence of Palaeolithic Levallois technology has been found in the lithic assemblage across the country's mountains and rainforests.

#### Futou period (7,000 BC — 4,400 BC)

The Fǔtóu period of prehistoric Aisequrioe spans around 7,000 BC to around 1100 AD. In the period, most of Aisequrioe were dominated by hunter-gatherers and impressive agriculture that reached a considerable degree of sedentism and cultural complexity. Agriculture in Aisequrioe developed rapidly from initial domestication of a few grains and animals gradually being expanded by the addition of many others over subsequent centuries. Millet agriculture was also first examined in the country's middle northern portion. The name Fǔtóu, meaning "axe" was first applied by several significant scholars across Bruvania in the 1910s and 1920s. The Fǔtóu period also saw a heavy interest and increase towards pottery, with the he pottery style characteristic of the first phases of Fǔtóu culture was decorated by impressing cords into the surface of wet clay. Fǔtóu pottery is mostly and controversially accepted as possibly among the oldest in the contient of Bruvania and the world.

The populace in the Fǔtóu period also practiced possible advanced forms of aquaculture, economy, and trade. The population also thrived off the blansea, kakodo, and sakana fish, as well as the zuensaloe coconuts, Ume apricots, and Nanshi pears. Major religions of the country such as Shintoism and Confucianism were founded through beliefs and practices of prehistoric Aisequrioe, with the construction of the cities of Xayle and Altaar around 6,000 BC, making the two cities arguably the oldest cities in Aisequrioe and Bruvania. The entire region of central northern Aisequrioe was also heavily isolated with the exceptions of the advent of the Chinese people.

#### Josho period (4,400 BC — 2,400 BC)

The Jōshō period (literally meaning Rise period) is a period that spans around 4,400 BC to 2,400 BC and it brung mass and huge fundamental transformations to the Bruvania continent and most significant, Aisequrioe, compressing the millennial achievements of the Neolithic Revolution into a relatively short span of centuries, particularly with the development of rice cultivation and metallurgy due to the advent of the Chinese people, a now extinct ethnicity in 7,100 BC. The Chinese, endowed with bronze and iron weapons and tools initially imported from the areas of now what is known Nadakasa, Ambrosia, Mysrtins, and Pala, gradually supplanted the Ilkursieeans and Aisekains. The Chinese also introduced weaving and silk production, new woodworking methods, glassmaking technology, advanced forms of healthcare and medicine, and new architectural styles. The expansion of the Chinese appears to have brought about a fusion with the indigenous Ilkursiee, resulting in a miniscule admixture genetically.

The population for central northern Aisequrioe began to increase rapidly with a 10-fold rise over the Fǔtóu period. Calculations of the population size of central northern Aisequrioe at the end of the Jōshō period was varied from around 4 million to 12 million due to the new introductions of technology by the Chinese. Archeological sites of the Jōshō period also had the possibility of large structures suggestive of grain storehouses. This change was accompanied by an increase in both the stratification of society and tribal warfare, indicated by segregated gravesites and military fortifications.

#### Shiro period (2,400 BC — 1,600 BC)

In the subsequent Shiro period (meaning Castle period), is a period of a series of short-lived kingdoms and dynasties that rose to power from 7,000 BC to 4,400 BC. In this era, many people and important figures sought to unify the region into a single country. A lot of early clans such as the short-lived kingdoms and dynasties of Nonaka, Wawera, Sekai, Tekai, and Yelo, who were able to expand their spheres of influence. The symbol of the growing power of Aisequrioe's new leaders was the kofun burial mounds they constructed from around 6,100 BC and onwards. There were many, however, whose positions and kingdoms eroded and dissolved and were eventually usurped by more capable underlings.

Well-organized religious groups also gained political power at the time by uniting farmers to their respective kingdoms and shogunates. The most well-known and successful of these autonomous clans were the Innuk, Hmensai, Yale, Xlyaie, Tenhoa, Suvi, Gao and the Chuuk, in which all 9 clans after the region's nearly a millennium of political instability and warfare was on the verge of unifying the entire region of middle northern Aisequrioe under their own respective states through negotiations and war. At the end of the Gand-Chuuk War, the entire region of middle northern Aisequrioe was officially unified on November 2nd, 1604 BC, transitioning into the peaceful and voyaging Ichizoku era.

### Classical

#### Ichizoku era (1,600 BC — 1090)

The Ichizoku era (meaning Clan era) is a era of relative peace in the region with only being 2 engagements in the entire duration of the era. The 9 states heavily traded with eachother and also collaborated in the invention of new technology. Due to this, central northern Aisequrioe became more technologically advanced than the rest of the continent at the time with the invention of the lightbulb in 1019. Cities of Henzhen, Jianxue, Chao and Chikaku were also constructed during this time, with Henzhen at it's completion and inauguration being the de facto grandiose capital of all 9 states.

On December 1023, a small-scale dispute occurred between the armies of Chuuk and Yale clans over a accidental capture of a nearby temple in the now ancient city of Mekoo. The Chuuk army also started turning away Yale tribespeople who were attempting to visit the temple site, which angered the inhabitants of Mekoo. After realization of the accidental capture, the Chuuk then withdrawn from the area and a short peace meeting, with the leader of the Chuuk clan formally apologizing towards the incident. A few years after the dispute occured on July 1031, another accidental dispute occured between Tenhoa and Yale clans over a different temple site in the city of Yamanotani. The Tenhoa immediately after being made aware of the dispute withdrawn from the area. No formal apology was given.

During around January 1051 evening, the tribe leader of the Suvi and Tenhoa, questioning about what lies beyond the region due to it's isolation, both ordered around 12 of it's high-ranking explorers of all of the 9 clans to commence a voyage to the western part of modern-day Aisequrioe. Due to the impossible feat of climbing the Hwenyao Mountain Range at the time, the voyagers instead used two large carrack boats, the Yepxu Nagso and Ai'iriano, which were both owned by the clan leaders of Suvi and Innuk respectively. In the same day, the two carrack boats departed from the local village of Kekuode at night. The carrack boats first sailed towards the outpost village of Valkeari for repairs and departed from the village the next day after on a planned 1 week journey to the western side.

On 6:00 AM of February 1089, the crew spotted a "vast flock of birds". 30 minutes later, a lookout on the Ai'iriano, a unknown sailor spotted land. Another unknown voyager then confirmed the sight of land and verified the captain of the two ships. The unknown captain of the two ships then possibly claimed that he had already seen a light on the land a few hours earlier, thus claiming the lifetime pension promised by the two clan leaders to the first person to sight land. The unknown captain also possibly called the new region below the Hwenyao Mountain Range *af Aise*, which had no literal meaning.

The two ships then landed on a nearby port village and made contact with the Aisekains. The Ilkursiee on the two carracks, which most of them are surprised on the revelation of there being more human life beyond the 9 clans, then made friendly relations with the Aisekains, with the Ilkursiee giving the native Aisekains new practices and technology that the now extinct Chinese group previously gave to them in the Jōshō period, along side the beliefs of Shintoism. The two ships after saying farewell towards the Aisekains then departed from the port village in the next week and told the two clan leaders about the new discoveries.

The Aisekains, now with the new practices, beliefs, and culture of the advent Ilkursieeans, under the leader of Iona Makaar, then set up one of the first ever kingdoms in the western portion of Aisekai named the Tribe of Iona on March 1089, named after their leader with around 600,000 inhabitants, thus transitioning to the Amizivaic era.

#### Amizivaic era (1090 — 1490)

The Amizivaic or Senso era in Ilkursiee culture is characterized in it's early years by the golden age of modern-day lands of western Aisequrioe with massive advancements in technology and influence in Bruvania. A few years after the founding of the Tribe of Iona on September 1099, The Tribe of Iona then massively expanded it's territories and influence and have one of the most effective and innovative weapons of the region at the time, with the Rozhen sword, the Orit shield, and the Vashi spear. Using them, the entire tribe enormously expanded it's territories, eventually almost encompassing all of modern-day western Aisequrioe.

Around August 24th, 1123, the first leader of the Iona Tribe, Iona Makaar, died due to pneumonia complications, with fell the entire inhabitants of the tribe to a deep local economic recession and moral depletion, which stopped the expansion of the Iona tribe and allowed the independence of other tribes such as Monzi, Oirap, Erua, Eiskare, and Zanzebir. The only sole child of Iona Makaar, Hori Merza, then took power over the throne. 4 days later on August 28th, 1123, Hori Merza then changed the name of the tribe to the Kingdom of Iona and instead of continuing the expansionist and imperialist policy of his former leader, Hori Merza instead adopted a neutral approach and policy for his kingdom, forging alliances with the 5 tribes which are now kingdoms that gained independence from the Iona Kingdom, with the most prominent being the Eiskare kingdom. Throughout a few months after, the original Shintoism practices that were given by the Ilkursiee slowly shifted to a new form of practices and beliefs, eventually turning to a new religion exclusive towards the western portion of the lands named Aisekain Shintoism, which eventually faded to obscurity.

On May 2nd, 1124, all 5 kingdoms of Iona, Eiskare, Oirap, Monzi, Erua, and Zanzebir were both threatened by the now increasing military giant of the western southern Tonza Empire, which had already invaded and plundered the kingdoms of Palmara and Razki of their economy and resources for production in even more newer technology and weaponry. In a emergency meeting by all the 5 kingdoms and to prevent Tonza influence, a coalition was formed between all 5 kingdoms against the Tonza Empire. In early August, the Tonza Empire declared war on the coalition, thus beginning the Southern Tonzanic Wars and changing towards the Teroraz or Xieye era, one of the most darkest and bloodiest eras in Ilkursiee and Aisekain history.

#### Teroraz era (1490 — 1510)

The Teroraz era or the Xieye era in Ilkursiee culture is one of the most darkest periods in Ilkursiee and Aisekain history as a whole. With around 56,000,000 million casualties in the period's history of 30 years alone.

## Geography

*Main article: Geography of Aisequrioe*

*See also: Geology of Aisequrioe*

Aisequrioe is the biggest sovereign nation in Bruvania and 2nd in the world after Ambrosia. The landscape of Aisequrioe features flat and rolling plains to a mountainous landscape with the massive Yanganxg Rainforest in-between, with a fertile coastal lowland.

The highest point of Aisequrioe is in Ulaie Peak with it reaching over 9,129 meters above sea level, located in the Hwenyao Mountain Range separating the 2 prefectures of Aisekai and Illqurioe. The country also hosts major rivers and estuaries, with the most prominent river being the Kadel River in it's western territory. Toekai is also the most elevated capital city in Bruvania.

There are 24 national parks in Aisequrioe, with the majority of them being nearly situated in Kekuode, Henzhen, Toekai, and Mezhen. There is only one national park located in the northern area of Aisequrioe, named the Winter International Park in Gaofu.

### Climate

Aisequrioe's northern and western areas are usually exposed to Arctic storm fronts, experiencing more precipitation and have milder winters than the eastern and far northern parts. The Hwenyao Mountain Range and other major mountains in Aisequrioe are in a rain shadow, and have lower rain and snow totals than the west. Temperatures of Aisequrioe range between -21°C (-5.8°F) in it's northern areas and mountains to 11°C (51.8°F) in it's western and flat plain areas.

Due to Aisequrioe's high latitude, there are large seasonal variations in daylight. From late April to early August, the sun never completely descends beneath the horizon in areas north of Aisequrioe, and the rest of the country experiences up to 18 hours of daylight per day. Conversely, from late November to late January, the sun never rises above the horizon in the north, and daylight hours are very short in the rest of the country.

14.4% of all coastal Aisekursiee outstripped the supply of fresh water, usually from rainfall. The northern regions get up to 20 inches (508 mm) of rainfall annually; the western regions about almost twice that. The threat of drought is commonplace throughout the isolated regions of Aisequrioe and the Uzkia Prefecture Territory.

## Transport

AS OF CURRENTLY: THIS SECTION IS BEING REWRITTEN SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE

The development for the transport system in Aisequrioe has been a major focus by the government since the 1970s, with the mobility of Aisekursiee roads and public transport ever growing continuously since the 1960s. Around half of all trips in Aisequrioe are made by car, 40% public transport, 20% bicycles, and 5% walking. All modes of transport in Aisequrioe play a major role in the country's transport system and are generally complementary rather than competitive.

### Road (Tolls and national roads) & public transport

Aisequrioe has a road network of over 2.45 million kilometers, with over 12,456 kilometers of expressways. Aisequrioe's northern part has also one of the most sparse roads in the world due to the arctic winter and funding. A wide variety of vehicles are used for transportation on Aisequrioe's roads. Bus services are available in most areas connected to the road network. Between major cities, especially on the prefectures of Illqurioe and Aisekai; services are frequent and direct. Many express services are available with no stops until the final destination.

Aisequrioe also has national routes, the national routes pass through the hearts of most main cities, and are designed to connect between city centres. They act as main inter-city route outside the tollways. A national route has to be passable by trucks, while simultaneously handling the common traffic. National routes in the prefecture of Illqurioe are numbered, while those outside the prefecture aren't. In some cities, even in crowded districts, national routes often form bypasses or ring roads around the city to prevent inter-city traffic entering the city center.

Also as part of it's commitment of environmental sustainability, the government of Aisequrioe has heavily focused in it's public transport and new technology for a lesser carbon footprint. Major public transport companies like Charter Illqurioe, Yapnen Travel, and Henzhen-Taiyen-Xayle Transit, including the state-owned company TransAise have become a major provider connecting Aisekursiee cities. The longest intercity bus service currently in Aisequrioe is the route connecting Henzhen to Gonghuego, lasting up to 2 weeks and is currently operated by TransAise. The surge of bus travel in Aisequrioe heavily increased upon the completion of the Henzhen-Gonghego Toll Road and most significant, the Aisequrioe Northern Toll Road in the 1970s. During this time, some intercity bus services began operating fleet of double decker busses.

### Water transport

Aisequrioe has around 17,000 km of navigable waterways, of which almost half of these are on the prefecture of Aisekai and a quarter each on the prefecture of Illqurioe and the prefecture territory of Uzkia. Waterways are highly needed because the rivers on the continent are not wide enough to hold large-sized ships. In addition to this for the prefecture territory of Uzkia, roads and railways are not good options due to the territory being undeveloped unlike the prefecture of Illqurioe and Aisekai, which are both highly developed. With the current length of water ways, the country is ranked third on the countries with the longest waterways.

## Culture

Contemporary culture of Aisequrioe combines influences from neighboring countries and it's pre-history. Traditional Aisekursiee arts in the northern region of Aisequrioe include crafts such as textiles, ceramics, swords, and dolls; with performances of bunraku, kabuki, and dance; and other practices in the region, such as the ikebana, martial arts, origami, calligraphy, geisha, and games, whilst the western region of Aisequrioe includes many and well-known painters, with the inclusion of being a more in mercantile and explorative spirit.
