Sequoyah,[lower-alpha 1] officially the Republic of Sequoyah,[lower-alpha 2] is a country in southern Sur. It is bordered to the north by Creeperopolis and surrounded on the east by the Asequi Channel and to the south and west by the Southern Ocean. With an area of 629,659 square miles (1,630,810 km2) divided into 6 provinces, Sequoyah is the third largest country in Sur and the twentieth largest in the world. Sequoyah's capital city is Asequi and its largest city is Kalgaduv. As of 2025, Sequoyah has an estimated population of 39.4 million, the twenty-second highest in the world.
The first humans arrived in modern-day Sequoyah around 16,000 years ago and inhabited most of northern, central, and eastern Sequoyah. Around 3500 BC, migrants of the prehistoric-Creeperian diaspora arrived in Sequoyah and displaced the pre-diasporic Sequoyans from Owegadohi in the eastern Sequoyan Peninsula. This displacement began the split between the Sequoyans and the Tribals. Several Manca, Navaja, and Sequoyan kingdoms existed during the Old Kingdoms Period and warfare between the kingdoms was common. The region's kingdoms fractured and fell into civil war during the late 200s BC, and the 800-year Divided States Period saw the fall and rise of several new kingdoms and warlord states. The Cheyenne Empire's mid 500s conquests led to the Sequoyan kingdoms forming the Sequoyan Confederation in 572. When the Cheyenne threat subsided by the late 600s, the member kingdoms of the confederation sought each other for supremacy within the confederation for the next few centuries. The Kaligvidi Empire ended the confederation in 1201 and began the New Kingdoms Period. The empire fell in the early 1400s and the Owegadohi Kingdom led by Cheasequah the Great eventually conquered much of southern Owegadohi.
Cuhtahlatah the Great conquered the Captaincy General of San Juan and the Sspahkoihtaki Kingdom in northern Owegadohi and expanded the Owegadohi Kingdom across the entire southern Sequoyan Peninsula. He established the Sequoyan Empire in 1531, and the empire dominated the peninsula for the next three centuries. The empire was significantly weakened by its defeat in the Great Surian War of the early 19th century and the monarchy was overthrown in the 1876 Republican Revolution. The revolution's leaders proclaimed a republic under Ahuli Kanuna, but the republic was overthrown by the military in 1900 and it established a military dictatorship. The dictatorship reconquered the breakaway states that formed after the fall of the Sequoyan Empire. Sequoyan transitioned to a personalist dictatorship led by Diwali Ustya in 1943, but his regime was overthrown in 1959 and a Fourth Republic was established by Gawonii Atsvedy. The Fourth Republic fell in 2020, and after the Sequoyan Civil War, the Fifth Republic was created under General Atohi Dustu. Under Dustu and the National Reconstruction Party, Sequoyah fully joined the Cooperation and Development Coalition (CODECO) and has been experiencing democratic backsliding.
Etymology
The origin of the name Sequoyah (ᏍᏏᏉᏯ, Ssiquoya) is unknown, but some linguists believe that the name derives from the Sequoyan word siqua (ᏏᏆ), meaning "board", arguing that "Sequoyah" meant "place of boars" in the ancient Sequoyan language. Others believe that the name Sequoyah derives from the phrase siqua ayaa (ᏏᏆ ᎠᏯᎠ) meaning "a beast is inside", referring to the warrior culture that the ancient Sequoyans held. The National Academy of the Sequoyan Language prefers the latter interpretation as the official etymology of the name Sequoyah.
History
Prehistory
The first humans arrived in Sequoyah around 16,000 years ago in modern-day northern Eastern Sequoyah. The pre-diasporic Sequoyans settled most of the eastern coastline of the Sequoyan Peninsula, and by 8000 BC, they settled some areas of western Rakeo. Over the next few thousand years, the pre-diasporic Sequoyans migrated west across the Equadodalv Range and began to inhabit central Sequoyah's river valleys. Around 4500 BC, another group of pre-diasporic Sequoyans migrated south from the modern-day Castillianan viceroyalties of western Creeperopolis and settled in modern-day Itse Ulagohisdi along the southern shore of the Bay of Castilliano. Overtime, four distinct ethnic identities emerged from the pre-diasporic Sequoyan groups: the Capricans, Cheyall, Manca, and Navaja.
Around 3500 BC, a large migration event occurred in central Sur known as the prehistoric-Creeperian diaspora. While the exact causes of the migration are unknown, some people groups that partook in the event migrated south to the eastern Sequoyan Peninsula. Over the next few centuries, the diasporic migrants displaced many of the pre-diasporic Sequoyan groups in Owegadohi, the part of the Sequoyan Peninsula east of the Equadodalv Range. During this time, some of the Navaja were pushed west across the Equadodalv Range and the Manca population was greatly diminished and isolated to lowlands at the eastern base of the Equadodalv Range and the southeastern-most parts of the Sequoyan Peninsula. The Navaja displacement itself displaced many Cheyalls that inhabited the River Valleys and forced them to migrate south to the Great Flatlands.
Old Kingdoms Period
Organized polities began to form around the late 2000s BC in the form of city-states along the coast of the Asequi Channel. Among the first powerful city-states during this period included the Sequoyan cities of Ayawis, Gaduequa, Tsiyudita, Uweyaholi, and Uwoduhi; the Navaja cities of Aakaaapioyis, Ipaootsi, Sagonige Dikanodii, and Vdali Gosdayi; and the Manca cities of Huta Oyate and Sutaotunwe. Around 1400 BC, the ruling dynasty of Uweyaholi conquered many of the surrounding cities and inland nomads creating the Old Uweya Kingdom, the first such Sequoyan kingdom. Throughout its history, the kingdom came into conflict with northern Navaja groups, the southern Manca Sutaotunwe Kingdom, and internal Sequoyan rebellions. An 1187 BC rebellion by the rulers of Ayawis led to the rise of the Old Ayawis Kingdom, and both the Old Uweya and Old Ayawis kingdoms coexisted for over four centuries.
In 737 BC, the Sutaotunwe Kingdom conquered the Old Ayawis Kingdom, but the Old Uweya Kingdom reconquered much of the Sutaotunwe Kingdom's conquests. The Sutaotunwe Kingdom fell into civil war when its king, Akecheta II, was killed in battle against the Old Uweya. The kingdom's remnants were conquered by the Old Uweya Kingdom over the following decades, and the kingdom dominated the eastern Sequoyan Peninsula. A rebellion in Ayawis in 550 BC overthrew the ruling Old Uweya dynasty and established the New Ayawis Kingdom, but parts of the kingdom broke away in the process and declared their independence. Additionally, Navaja raids from across the Waapatomak River further weakened the kingdom's position, but the kingdom continued to be the dominant polity in the region for centuries.
Divided States Period
The New Ayawis Kingdom fell into civil war in 235 BC when the sons of King Atohi IV fought for control of the throne upon the king's death. During the civil war, several parts of the kingdom broke away and a series of warlords came to control much of the kingdom's former territories. The North and South Ayawis kingdoms emerged as the largest post-civil war states. The collapse of the New Ayawis Kingdom led to rebellions occurring neighboring kingdoms by regional leaders taking advantage of the era's instability.
The various wars and rebellions of the late 200s BC led to a region-wide famine that further weakened the region's kingdoms. While the Manca, eastern Navaja, and Sequoyan kingdoms in Owegadohi were affected by the wars of the Divided States Period, the Caprican, Cheyall, and western Navaja kingdoms were mostly unaffected. Some states that existed during the Divided States Period include the Gaqua, Huta, New Uweya, Tsiyudita, and Vdali kingdoms. These kingdoms, among others, fought each other for regional control. During the 3rd century AD, the Sequoyan Agayvli Kingdom, now referred to as the Uganawuiditlv Empire, conquered much of the southeastern Owegadohi and expanded west towards the Equauwe River and later the western coast of the Sequoyan Peninsula.
Sequoyan Confederation
In 570, the Cheyenne Empire, a cross-range Cheyall state, conquered many of the western and eastern Navaja kingdoms and threatened the independence of the Mancan and Sequoyan kingdoms. For the next century, the Cheyenne Empire attempted to conquer these kingdoms, but their attempts at conquest led to the Sequoyan kingdoms forming the Sequoyan Confederation in 572 to combat the Cheyenne Empire. The confederation reconquered all Cheyall conquests south of the Waapatomak River by the 650s. In 689, Navaja leader Matunaagd led a rebellion against the Cheyenne Empire and established the Nitatapisin Kingdom north of the Waapatomak River, ending the empire's influence in Owegadohi.
Once the threat of the Cheyenne Empire subsided, some of the Sequoyan kingdoms fought each other for dominance and influence within the confederation. The wars of the Sequoyan Confederation led to the rise, fall, mergers, and fracture of several kingdoms, but most continued to recognize the confederation's existence as they sought to be the ones to dominate it. The first ideas of a united Sequoyan identity began to emerge during the confederation's existence rather than the kingdom's and cities' regional identities. By the 900s, the New Uweya and Uwoduhi kingdoms and the Uganawuiditlv Empire established themselves as the confederation's three most important members. From 923 to 937, the New Uweya and Uwoduhi kingdoms and their allies invaded the Uganawuiditlv Empire and eventually forced it west of the Oni River. Both kingdoms eventually went to war with each other in the 950s and the Uwoduhi Kingdom established itself as the most powerful member of the Sequoyan confederation. For the next two centuries, the Uwoduhi Kingdom dominated the confederation and served as a de facto arbiter between the various Sequoyan kingdoms.
