==Geography==

Kelekona is approximately 742,704.99 km² (286,760 sq mi) in area, much of the nation spans across most of the western portion of the [[Innis River Basin]], and a vast majority of its population is largely centered around the Innis river, its forks, the flatlands surrounding the river, and near the coast facing the Malentine Bay, the northern section of the Songun Sea that it shares with its neighbors [[Arcerion]], [[Istreyna]], and [[Malentina]]. The southeastern section of Kelekona is home to its internal lakes. The western section of the Innis river, or as it is called in Kelekona, the ''Pakariy'' ("Dawn"), serves as the main commercial and agricultural lifeline for Kelekona, and historically the Kelekonese have claimed ownership to the Cochrane river which was once known as the ''Tutaray'' ("Dusk") during the years of the North Songun civilization and up until the arrival of Carnish settlers; every attempt at reclaiming the lost territory has been met with failure.

The smallest areas of Kelekona are much of the northwestern portion of the [[Malentine Islands]]. Known as ''Rawrayaqukunatarakuna'' ("Burning Sands Islands"), these islands are vital for the nation's fishing sector of the economy, and its major point of contention since the 1980s with the Telekonese Conflicts. To this day, Kelekona still maintains a claim over Arcerion's [[Foxhey Islands]]. The islands, much like the nearby coastal areas, are home to the warmest temperatures in Kelekona due to its proximity to the Malentine Bay.

====First Telekonese conflict====

{{main|Telekonese Conflict}}

In an effort to bolster its dwindling legitimacy, to mobilize strong patriotic feelings of the glory days of the North Songun era, and to distract the people from the woes of economic stagnation and multiple failed promises after the initial reforms, the socialist regime began to mobilize the [[Kelekonese People's Army]] and the [[Kelekonese People's Navy]] for an eventual attack on Arcerion in hopes of reclaiming some islands that were historically a part of the Telekonese homeland, feeling confident that the war-weary Arcers would not come to the defense of these islands or seek to retake them which may in turn allow for the Kelekonese government to press their claim in the League of Nations. At four hours after midnight on 12 August 1986, just before daybreak, Kelekonese naval vessels were spotted off the coast of the Foxhey Islands, and soon the islands of Sharnwick, Larton, Gramsby, and Swindon were seized by the Kelekonese forces, with Farnsworth and Port Gibson coming under attack not long afterwards. Despite the Kelekonese hopes for a swift takeover of the islands, they were instead met with a warning to withdraw any and all forces within ninety-six hours or otherwise face a counterattack from Arcer forces. During the brief occupation, the Kelekonese forces faced attacks and violent protests from the Arcer inhabitants of the island, with some twenty-four Arcer citizens being killed as a result.

===Junta of 1988===

{{main|People's Republic of Kelekona|State of Kelekona}}

The loss of the first Telekonese Conflict was not without consequence nor retaliation from Arcerion. The socialist government had attempted to stabilize the country by hastening some key economic reforms, such as ''[[Project Cyber-Trade|Qallarnyawpariynin Antanyiqiqumusiku]]'' which was an attempt at emulating the economic practices of the North Songun civilization via a cybernetic form of a socialist economy, but every single one of these reforms was too little, too late. Throughout much of 1988, the regime was plagued with a series of popular protests, marches, and riots, but it was not until 14 June when the protests have reached their peak with a student protest in the nation's capital of Maktalin which soon spread across the country as the students were soon joined by {{wp|children}}, {{wp|housewives}}, {{wp|priests}}, and many others who have grown increasingly tired of the increasingly {{wp|totalitarian}} form of socialism that had ruled Kelekona for the past eleven years. The protests were soon able to [[1988 Kelekonese Revolution|overthrow]] the socialist republic and soon established the [[People's Republic of Kelekona]] (''Kelekona Runallaqta Ripuwlika ''), which introduced sweeping democratic reforms while still committing to a more {{wp|libertarian socialism|libertarian form of socialism}}.

===Yellow revolution and minarchist rule===

{{main|Yellow Revolution|Free Republic of Kelekona}}

Asides from the brutal methods of repressing protests against the regime, the military junta was also noted for being highly {{wp|ethnocentric}} in nature, believing that only people of North Songun ancestry were "true Kelekonese" and that the nation's [[Jawaruna]] minority, people of Varshani ancestry who have lived in Kelekona and the preceding Kelezuno tributary state since the late 16th Century, were at fault for the centuries of decline that the North Songun civilization had suffered under. With that, the junta began to heavily persecute the Jawaruna through forced displacements and {{wp|internment camps}} while confiscating their possessions to distribute them to loyal supporters of the regime. The actions against the Jawaruna garnered even more international condemnation, with many calling it an ethnic cleansing given the nature of the persecutions. It was also during this time that a group of internationally-educated students formed an opposition group known as the ''[[Dawn of Liberty Party|Pakariyninqispikaykawpayphatma]]'' (PQK), a political party heavily influenced by {{wp|right-libertarian}} ideologies from the Occident such as {{wp|night-watchman state|minarchy}} and ''{{wp|objectivism|paqtachismu}}'' ("objectivism"), the latter of which was developed by Kelekonese philosopher [[Ninasisa Pariwana]] during the socialist era.

====Second civil war====

{{main|Second Kelekonese Civil War}}

The [[Final War of the Deluge]] had resulted in a huge influx of migrants from neighboring Varshan trying to escape the violence and warfare that have risen up since the start of the war in 2020. Many of these migrants have fled to Kelekona, resulting in a {{wp|refugee crisis}} as the junta had to work on giving these migrants food and shelter, but because the influx was much larger than their ability to settle the refugee the Kelekonese government and economy quickly became overwhelmed by the sudden increase in population with the latter collapsing in 2021 and the former being plunged into instability and chaos once more. President Qarawi had to establish multiple {{wp|refugee camps}} just to house the migrants while he tried to integrate them into the Kelekonese economy, and yet more and more refugees would arrive in Kelekona with each passing day thus leading to a rise in open opposition against the junta for its failure to effectively manage the refugee crisis in a timely manner.

====Ayllius====

The lowest administrative division, which is at the fifth level, are the ''aylliukuna''. These correspond to the main federative units of a ''ripartamintu'', and form the most local instance of {{wp|democracy}} in Kelekona. An ''aylliu'' consists about 500 people, and the main governing council functions on the basis of {{wp|direct democracy}}, encouraging its residents to directly participate in local affairs. As the primary point of contact with the government for most citizens of Kelekona, it is through the ''aylliukuna'' that petitions to the government sent to at first before being transferred to higher divisions as needed, even all the way up to the Qhapaqs' Council in some cases.

===Energy===

Kelekona has no domestic power plants in the country, meaning that the country has to rely on other countries to get its needed energy. As such, the current situation with Kelekona's energy sector is that it is entirely dependent on Arcerion's energy sector, itself consisting of both nuclear and fossil fuel power plants, but the most common resources that Kelekona imports from Arcerion for use in its energy sector are oil and gas due to the relative low cost of the two materials. Up until 2025, energy-related imports were often lacking, resulting in many places in Kelekona falling under {{wp|power outage|blackouts}} or {{wp|brownout (electricity)|brownouts}}, but with the rise of a more friendly form of government in Kelekona, energy-related imports have risen dramatically with areas of Kelekona that are connected to the current power grid having reported less frequent occurrences of blackouts and brownouts. Many isolated communities in Kelekona have resorted to using {{wp|solar panels}} to handle their needs in electricity as access to the national power grid is often nonexistent, with larger solar panels often being used for local power grids to handle the needs for multiple households in a given locality.
