Confederacy of Jahseh | Jahluhets

 * Government: Tribal federation
 * Ruler: Koi'san (b.985, r.994-)
 * Dynasty: Pinochet
 * Economy: The Jahsehtic economy is mainly based around subsistence farming, fishing, and mining operations. Trade is conducted with neighboring tribes and the Inca to our west. Trade is mostly still conducted on a barter system, although the beginnings of a standardized currency have taken shape across the nation, with standardized barter rates (e.g. 3 corn husks for a fresh fish, 50 corn husks for a small bag of Incan-imported salt) in place. This "standardized barter system" has been aided in acceptance by the advent of the Jahsehtic script, allowing merchants the ability to track purchases and set prices more easily.

 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Guarani War: With the formation of the Gua-Vah Federation, our military rushes to capture their "capital city" of Adjupi, which in comparison to the glorious metropolis of Jahseh is but a tiny town of insolent barbarians. They are told to "leave no man alive, and do to the women and children what you want". A contingent of 5000 troops breaks off, and is sent to garrison the major towns and cities along the Uruguay River to protect against Gua-Vah incursions. The Guarani clans and tribes who have joined us in our endeavors are asked to help invade and occupy the Gua-Vah interior, as well as to provide reconnaissance and help us master the foreign terrain of the area. Clans and tribes loyal to the Jahluhets are promised vast tracts of land and loot in the soon-to-be vanquished Gua-Vah Federation. We also reach out to the northern Guarani tribes, who have declined to join the deplorable Gua-Vah, and ask them to raid their northern fringes, in return for increased trade opportunities with our enlightened nation, as well as helping their peoples become as enlightened as we are, without being subject to our rule.
 * Events:
 * Civilizing the New Territories: The newly-acquired territories of the Guarani tribes under our fold are still very underdeveloped, with most human activity in the area being nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes. Now, under our benevolent rule, it is regarded as our divine mission to civilize the Guarani and introduce them to our ways, much as we did with the Charrua in the time of Pino of Chet. We begin sponsoring increased trade and contact with the Guarani, and embark on a campaign to introduce the ways of sedentary agriculture to the allied tribes. The temporary military camp at Tiká Kéhani (literally Mount Guarani in the Jahluhet language), at OTL Montevideo, is converted into a civilian settlement, and would eventually become the chief settlement of the Guarani peoples in the Jahluhet nation.
 * The Cult of T'ano: In recent years, a new religion has arisen and come into vogue: the Cult of T'ano. The main tenet of the Cult of T'ano is balance (T'ano literally means "balance" in the Jahluhet language). Similar to Eastern religions, it postulates that every action has an opposing reaction. The Cult of T'ano preaches that in order to attain true happiness, balance must be achieved in your life, and that the world can only be free of suffering if all people live in accordance to the tenets of the Cult of T'ano.
 * Jahseh Rules The Waves: The Jahluhet navy is created by reappropriating a few merchant ships with soldiers. Their task is to protect the seas and the river trade system from criminals, bandits, and Gua-Vah raiders.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Gua-Vah Federation: You asked for this. Now you will suffer.
 * Northern Guarani tribes: Psst. Please raid the Gua-Vah. We'll give you stuff in return. Land, plundered gold, increased trade, an alliance, the secrets of farming, our civilized principles, anything.
