The Wasi King is one of the most unique and distinguishable characteristics of Canespa. The idea behind the Wasi King is powerful as it is eternal. The Wasi King can be defined as an elected monarch from a political standpoint and an eternal Kānenaka from a religious and cultural perspective. First appearing as a concept in 1176 the Wasi King has, for the most part, existed as a part of Canespa and its culture since its introduction. Through this end the idea of the Wasi King leading Canespa is known as Wasiqana, and is sometimes used as a secondary name for the country. In the modern day the Wasi King has executive authority in Canespa. He is kept in check to a degree by the House of Union but can operate independently without approval from the House of Union during times of war and crisis.

{{Further|Suyukuna's}}[[Canespa]] has a vary unique way of sub dividing the country. There are two types of divisions, there are states or [[suyukuna's]], and there are [[mikuna's]]. [[Suyukuna's]] have larger population centers and have a more traditional government structure. They tend to have a slightly more democratic means of government that is still heavily influenced by the [[Canasta Company]]. [[Suyukuna's]] have a more right leaning economic structure where money is used to pay workers over resources in many cases.There are ten of these subdivisions in [[Canespa]] with some being more populous then others. This includes the capital district [[Papua]]. On the other hand the [[mikuna's]] are much more rural and there laws are vary different. The already strict rules on how you interact with the environment are increased to a new level. The economy is more left leaning with resources and housing being used as payment more so then money. Most of the population tends to live in Ilaqta's. There are 12 [[mikuna's]] making them the most common subdivision in [[Canespa]]. Most [[mikuna's]] are landlocked with only three of them having any coastline. | {{Further|Suyukuna's}}[[Canespa]] has a vary unique way of sub dividing the country.

The election of this house is monitored by the [[Canasta Company]] and the [[Wasiexu]]. Based on which house controls a certain division can determime anything from the laws to the culture to the worldview of the people in the division. This gives each division a different and distinct culture. This also allows for the addition of new divisions if the need arrives. | ||

Due to native roots | Due to native roots [[Canespa]]’s judicial system is completely different to most non-Cronan countries. The goal of the judicial system is not to prosecute the wrongdoer, but to instead solve what went wrong between the defendant and prosecutor. By doing this the judicial process has two missions, stop the conflict from continuing, and finding out what the best course of action is. In one particular case a man attempted to murder the victim because of the long standing rivalry between his and the victims family. As the case evolved the Council of Elders got together to consider the best possible course of action, after talking to both the victim and the criminal in private, then together as a group. Following an intense and complex discussion two possible options were discussed, either sending one family away and changing their names while enrolling the criminal in a therapy group, or for the victim and the criminal to engage in a weekly discussion where the two families settle their differences and keep friendly contact. Once both parties agreed the second option was decided upon. Today the families have become strong allies and are now neighbors. The former criminal has not engaged in any illegal activity since the court case and has said that he strongly regrets his former actions. | ||
[[Canespa|Canespa's]] laws are rooted in [[M'acunism]] and its large production of crops. It is illegal to bring any uninspected food into the country due to the fear of any and all crop diseases that can effect the nation's output. Almost all actions that significantly increase the Co2 output of [[Canespa]] are also illegal without proper permission from the government. It is also illegal to raze the ground of an area without the proper permits from the government ensuring it wont highly affect the native wildlife. Due to the nature of the countries government there is no minimum wage and all wage related laws are directly run by the [[Canasta Company]]. In a similar manner taxes barely exist in the country and much of the money the government makes is sent to them via the Canasta Company. Though if you live in the country and work for any corporation besides the [[Canasta Company]] then taxes can raise drastically though this is rare. | [[Canespa|Canespa's]] laws are rooted in [[M'acunism]] and its large production of crops.

===Attitudes and Worldview=== | ===Attitudes and Worldview=== | ||
The people of [[Canespa]] view life as a connection to the earth that individuals have to play a part in. In their opinion other countries lack a connection to the earth, and that this will play a role in most of there failures. They believe that in order to maintain balance [[Canespa]] must keep its connections to Mother Nature in order to feed the people of the world. The [[Canasta Company]] while being a government and corporation plagued with corruption and power hungry individuals has always, under the guidance of [[House Wasi]], kept its promise of maintaining its connection to the Earth and guaranteeing the safety of the people.

[[Canespa|Canespan's]] have little connection with fellow [[Crona|Cronan]] natives. Instead they tend to align themselves with whoever can benefit the country itself. This leads to a fairly open view about other people and nations and the people of [[Canespa]] rarely judge concepts that are irregular to them. | ||

[[Canespa| | [[Canespa|Canespan's]]--northern and southern, all work for the [[Canasta Company]]. No profession has been saved from its monopoly and all other organizations/companies are effectively banned from the country. This has lead to every aspect of life being controlled by the company. If you live in the cities you most likely live in a small but comfortable apartment that has the necessities for life and some commodities to. If you live and work on a farm then you most likely life in an [[llaqta]]. An [[llaqta]] is a small village that consists of about twenty some houses with some small shops and stores that are run with semi-autonomy. These [[llaqta's]] are set up around large farms and everyone who lives in the [[llaqta]] works said farm. From that you receive your pay minus your living expenses and needs. Anything categorized as a want or commodity can be bought with the meager pay. [[Canespa|Canespan's]] have on average five kids that are entirely funded by the government with large raises given to anyone based on the number of kids they have. The kids in each [[llaqta]] are usually picked up for school by a biofuel run bus. While the kids are at school the parents will work the farms and help the shops remain functional. | ||

Families are led by both parents but the rules of the houses dictates that the children of the couple are part of the fathers house and the mother is allowed to convert to the husbands house at marriage if they are not part of the same house. This has led to parents wishing for more male children that will lead to the growth of there house. The only house that is exempt to this rule is [[House Wasi]]. [[House Wasi]] is only passed on through the eldest son or daughter of the [[Wasi House]] head. While all of the children of the houses head are part of the house, they can not pass it down to their children. If the eldest son or daughter has no children then the children of a different son of daughter will be able to pass down [[House Wasi]] even if said children are not part of [[House Wasi]]. These complex rules were created by the [[Wasi King]] in order to sway the other houses into further joining his united [[Canespa]].

[[Canespa|Canespans]] are known for there ability to make a different potato themed dish for ever day of the year. This was born out of necessity as the government of [[Canespa]] gives out rations accordingly to the person. Most of the time these rations come in form of potatoes about 60% of the time. Most take these rations in exchange for less pay. Potatoes have been the main dish of [[Canespa]] since before the days of the [[Wasi King]]. They have caused many diplomatic incidents within [[Canespa]] and they have been a symbol for many things including one of the houses, different revolts and wars across the years, and multiple laws. | ||
[[House Papa]] is the house of potato. Thanks to the efforts of the [[Canasta Company]] [[House Papa]] became the largest house in 1994. This was pushed by the Company for many reasons but the biggest of which was the large monoculture farming the House participated in. For sustainability reasons the monoculture has been brought back a bit but is still a major factor in the nation. While this does make the nations food production slightly more vulnerable, the [[Canasta Company]] knows this and has placed strict laws on what enters the company. All vehicles attempting to enter the country are searched for all traces of any fruits or vegetables. | [[House Papa]] is the house of potato.

in 1659 the [[Canespa| | in 1659 the [[Canespa|Canespan]] Houses were conducting a fairly ordinary yearly ritual to pray to [[Makuahine]] (Mother Nature) and her givings. This would have been an event that could barely be mentioned but during the ritual [[House Kanchi]] brought a tomato (There main crop) to the ritual instead of the mandated Potato that this specific ritual mandated. This lead to [[House Papa]] being deeply enraged. Thus leaving the country on the verge of civil war. If it wasn't for the other houses stepping in and stopping it, it could have ended [[Canespa]]. As a peace deal [[House Kanchi]] and [[House Papa]] made a new dish mixing both tomatoes and potatoes in an elegant blend that stunned administrators and even the [[Wasi King]] himself with its savory and beautiful taste. Though this dish has been lost to history its taste is said to still linger in the mouths of all [[Canespa|Canespan's]]. | ||

They were built with natural gardens and places of natural worship. Most of the pyramids were built on areas of earth scorched by war. The pyramids were seen as a way to repay mother nature for the wrong doings of mans war. Another use for the pyramids was to show the power and wealth that the tribe who built it had.
