Copake

The Republic of Copake is a country in Crona. It was established in 2025 from lands of the Venua'tino mandate of the League of Nations. Although Eastern Venua'tino had been settled by various peoples since at least 1000 BC, Copake is the first independent state established in this territory. Major cities and tribal nations were subject to the so-called Venua Empire in, and the region faced loose Quetzen hegemony during the medieval period. The rise of a unified Quetzenkel lead to a period of self rule and lack of centralized state organization, although several attempts were made by powerful cities and nations within the region. The establishment of the League of Nations mandate over Venua'tino lead to Urcean intervention in forging a federated state which would represent the interests of the people in the Copake region. Although negotiations were halted by the Final War of the Deluge and several skirmishes between rival parties took place in the late 2010s, an agreement was finally reached with the Treaty of Halfway in 2024. On 1 January 2025, the Republic of Copake was officially formed. The Republic is currently in the process of creating an initial constitution, currently being governed on a provisional basis under the terms of the Treaty.

Although not formally organized as such, Copake is considered by many nations and observers to be a benefactor confederacy under Urcean leadership. Copake is a member of the Nysdra Sea Treaty Association.
