It is neighbored by [[ | '''Netansett''', officially the '''Dominion of Netansett''' ([[Quonish language|Quonish]]: ''Netansettee Gil'ahana''), is a country located in south-central [[Cusinaut]], a subcontinent located in northwest [[Crona]]. It is neighbored by the [[Algosh Republic]], a protectorate of [[Urcea]], to the north, [[Canespa]] to the west, [[New Harren]], a [[benefactor confederacy]] under the presidency of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], to the east, and the [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] [[Overseas Regions|overseas region]] of [[Porfíria]] to the south. It is a semi-federal state where the main subdivisions of the nation have their own legislative assemblies and subnational ministries all the while the central government retains very strong oversight over these subnational entities. | ||
The Netanic people trace their ancestry to some of the earliest prehistoric settlers in Cusinaut from [[Alshar]], with some of the oldest archaeological sites on the subcontinent appearing within Netansett territory. A cohesive Netanic culture began to emerge with the advent and spread of writing during the early medieval period, with a unified Netanic monarchy emerging by the 1400s. Netanic writing and language differentiates sharply from that of the rest of Cusinaut, whose writing and language is inspired by cross-[[Nysdra]] cultural exchange with [[Varshan]] and other places. As an isolationist society, the Netanic people fought to keep their borders closed to both their neighbors and the [[Occident]], resulting in a series of brutal wars with the [[Algosh people]] and later [[Northern Confederation]]. | The Netanic people trace their ancestry to some of the earliest prehistoric settlers in Cusinaut from [[Alshar]], with some of the oldest archaeological sites on the subcontinent appearing within Netansett territory.

In the 18th century, the Netanic people began to grow {{wp|tobacco}}, {{wp|indigo}}, and other cash crops originally present in the [[Occident]], remaining mostly isolated but funding the state and small economy with highly controlled cash crop exports. This era of Netansett is known primarily as the "export society", wherein the Netanic people managed to maintain independence by becoming a reliable provider of goods to the global market; in turn, the society and state gradually transformed to support this economic model. In the 19th century, the pre-modern Netanic confederated state was reformed into a centralized state. The Netanic people voluntarily opted to put an end to their long-time isolationism and joined the [[League of Nations]] in the 1950s. | In the 18th century, the Netanic people began to grow {{wp|tobacco}}, {{wp|indigo}}, and other cash crops originally present in the [[Occident]], remaining mostly isolated but funding the state and small economy with highly controlled cash crop exports.

After the [[Algosh coup|fall of the Northern Confederation]] in 2009, the Netanic people resumed their centuries-long skirmishing with [[Algoquona]], the new Algosh state. Within this context, the Netanic found new allies in the [[Occident]]. Throughout the 2010s, the Netanic state began a rapid period of military and infrastructure modernization while importing Occidental government advisors and cultural materials. It participated in the [[Final War of the Deluge]], fighting against Algoquona and receiving territory at the conclusion of the war. Foreign investment has led Netansett to possess one of the world's fastest growing economies. The economic growth has largely outpaced social and political reform, leading to significant domestic political unrest since [[2010]], with limited efforts towards democratic reform made to improve Occidental ties.

Netansett is the traditional | ''Netansett'' is the traditional indigenous name for the geographic region the country occupies, its rough translation being "wooded hills". For many years, and even up until Netansett's admission into the [[League of Nations]] in the 1950s for some countries, the country was given the [[Coscivian]]-originated {{wp|exonym}} of "Huconia", itself being derived from the [[Hukon League]], which was a tribal league under the sovereignty of [[Porfiria]]. This term was formally disavowed in [[1910]] as the nation's government began to request other nations to refer to it by its indigenous {{wp|endonym}} of "Netansett", though some nations have continued to insist on using "Huconia" in diplomatic relations for the next forty years. The name of the Hukon League is derived from the Treaty of Hukon, which was named after a then-major village in modern Netansett. The term was never officially adopted by the people of Netansett themselves. | ||
