Kemahanacommacah | Grand Confederacy of Kemahana

 * Government: Pseudo-feudal elective monarchy
 * Weroance:
 * Moskatachaw (1384-1421)
 * Sikankanna (1421-)
 * Economy: Our economy is divided between a subsistence farming and a nomadic hunter-gatherer economy, mainly based on ethnic divisions. However, the introduction of horses (brought during the Exile) has revolutionized the process of hunting game, and cattle ranching and pastoralism has also begun to take shape, especially in rural peripheral regions. We are also beginning to see the very beginnings of urbanization, although much of the population is still nomadic or lives in villages with less than 200 people.
 * Capital: Tanacoma
 * Summer Capital: Dilyacoma
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 66,105
 * Tanacoma: 8,000
 * Pocahontocoma: 4,000
 * Utemaca: 3,115
 * Iyi Sipi: 1,975
 * Kanatsasipi: 1,625
 * Nisinima: 1,260
 * Dilyacoma: 2,000
 * Wakiigi: 540
 * Other settled towns and villages: 23,225
 * Nomadic population: 20,365
 * Religion: 39% Pocahontist (25,775 ppl), 61% other (mainly assorted Native American beliefs; 41,330 ppl)
 * Pocahontism: Born during the devastation of the Accursed Plagues (most likely smallpox, typhus and other Old World diseases) in the early and mid-1200s AD, which killed up 70-80% of the population of the Powhatan Confederacy, Pocahontism is an offshoot branch of the Hellenic pagan religion (with ample amounts of influence from Christianity and Native American traditions). The main difference between Pocahontism and the Greek pantheon is the equation of Pocahontas, a Powhatan chief-turned-deity, with Zeus, Athena, and Aphrodite.
 * Orthodox Pocahontism: This sect of Pocahontism purports to be the sect which preserves the original theology of early Pocahontism the most. Orthodox Pocahontists believe that Pocahontas is the godhead and ruler of all the gods (a mix of ancestral spirits and Hellenic gods). Orthodox Pocahontists hold that Pocahontas and her spirit has, upon death, forever left the realm of the living, and only by praying through a weroance (chief) or a shaman shall Pocahontas hear your prayer. Orthodox Pocahontists teach that the Accursed Plague is punishment for a sinful society, and to avoid disease, one must live a virtuous and pious life. Orthodox Pocahontists are by far the most numerous and established of the Pocahontists, and Orthodox priests control almost all of the Pocahontist temples and shrines in Kemahana.
 * Incarnationism: Incarnationism holds that the Spirit of Pocahontas lives on in each and every human, living thing, and inanimate object (in effect a form of pantheism). Incarnationism diverges from the other Pocahontist sects in that it denies the existence of other gods and ancestral spirits as distinct entities, merely suggesting that they, too, are concentrations of the Spirit of Pocahontas. They are a small but growing minority amongst Pocahontists, and are mostly prevalent in the ranks of scholastic types.
 * Trialism: Entrenched within Kemahanan military families, Trialism teaches that the Accursed Plague (which they call the Plague of Judgement) is a tool to "judge" whether a man is pure of heart and of sin or not. They have become known for subjecting their children to a rite of passage where they are locked in a room with the corpse of a person (usually a family member) who died of the Accursed Plague, with enough food and water for a week. In Trialism, the eternal Spirit of Pocahontas is present in the Plague of Judgement. Other gods and ancestral spirits are acknowledged here, although only Pocahontas has the authority to forgive all a man's past and future sins via the Accursed Plague.
 * Other religions: Many native traditions and faiths continue, especially amongst the Miskawen population.
 * Ethnicity: 32.4% Wisawen (21,398 ppl), 66.4% Miskawen (43,940 ppl), 1.2% Dinawen/Navajo (767 ppl)
 * Wisawen: The Wisawen (lit. yellow men) are the descendants of the Powhatan Exiles led by Usquehannatoco. A mix of several different ethnic groups from across the OTL US East, South and Midwest, as well as minuscule amounts of white European admixture, the Wisawen are the noble ruling class of the Kemahanacommacah. They are almost uniformly settled agricultural peoples, and form a majority in most of the western areas directly adjacent to the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.
 * Navajo (Dinawen): The Navajo, known as the Dinawen in the Kemahanan tongue, are the only other agricultural peoples the Kemahanans have regular contact with. As a result, they are considered separate to the primarily nomadic Miskawen tribes. The term "Dinawen" would eventually outgrow the Navajo ethnic group, becoming a blanket term for all established agricultural peoples of the American Southwest (incl. the Pueblo and Anasazi). Currently, the Dinawen make a very small minority in Kemahana, mainly consisting of aspiring merchants, almost 100% of which are Navajo.
 * Miskawen: "Miskawen" (lit. red men) is a blanket term for all the ethnic groups indigenous to Kemahana. These include the Ute, Shoshone, Apache, Comanche, Cheyenne and Arapaho, amongst other groups. Many of these peoples remain nomadic, although there has been increasing pressure for them to adopt settled agricultural or pastoral practices.
 * Languages: Although most people continue to speak their ancestral mother tongue at home, and Literary Powhatan continues to be used as the official language of administration, a creole language is used in non-formal conversation, based heavily on Powhatan, Cherokee, Ute, Shoshone, Comanche, and Arapaho.
 * Military: The Kemahanan military is mainly a levy-based system, although minuscule standing armies are used as garrisons in frontier areas to protect against raids. As the Miskawen become more integrated into Kemahanan society, our military has also begun recruiting them as quality horsemen. Most of our weapons are stone weapons due to the lack of iron and bronze in the region, with our only bronze and iron weapons being extremely prized heirlooms dating back all the way to before the Exile. However, we are beginning to get some bronze and even iron weapons made, due to access to plentiful mines in Lepai-controlled territory.
 * Infantry: 500 (3,500 reserves)
 * Archers: 250 (2,500 reserves)
 * Cavalry: 300 (2,000 reserves)
 * Wars and Conflicts: N/A
 * Diplomacy:
 * Lepai: ok so hear me out so you see that big ass river over there? this side is mine, that side is yours
 * Aztec Empire: hi we exist or something uhhh yeah
 * Events: 
 * The Ginisipi Expedition: An expedition, consisting of 100 explorers and military men, set off in the year 1437, making their way down the Ginisipi River (the OTL Rio Grande River), and hoping to find its mouth. After 6 months of travel, they reach the Aztec city of Tamtoc, located where the Ginisipi meets the Great Southern Sea (Gulf of Mexico). The expedition would return to Kemahana, where one of the leaders of the expedition, Hisinami Atigishaa, would write his book "On the Southern Lands", describing the Ginisipi Expedition, and illustrating the Aztecs as a people of unimaginable wealth, but equally unimaginable evil (someone got particularly put off by the constant human sacrifices of the Aztec religion).
 * Seizure of the Eastern Bank: Weroance Sikawkanna would order the seizure of the eastern bank of the northern Rio Grande Basin for the Kemahanan state, in an effort to secure the (future) trade route between Kemahana and any "southern riches". Attempting to further solidify the new expansion, Sikawkanna would also enter into talks with the Binanita'i of Lepai. proposing that all territory west of the Rio Grande would belong to Lepai while all territory east of the Rio Grande would be the domain of Kemahana. To better administrate the territory, the Kemahanan government would found the city of Wakiigi (OTL Albuquerque, NM), located at an area where the native tribes in the area often met and traded.
 * A Summer Capital: After the death of the renowned and popular Crown Weroansqua Dilyehe in 1439 from typhus, the grief-stricken Weroance Sikawkanna would order an entirely new city to be constructed in the southern deserts she so loved. The city of Dilyacoma (OTL Santa Fe, NM) would be founded. It was meant to become the summer capital of the Kemahanacommacah, with a majestic summer palace constructed in the nearby foothills overlooking the town, and an equally large Pocahontist temple/mausoleum further up in the mountains, which would be Dilyehe's final resting place and the biggest temple in the southern deserts.
