[[Canespa]], officially the Congressional Company of [[Canespa]], is a country in [[Cusinaut]]. It is neighbored by , [[Netansett]], [[Porfíria|Porfiri]]<nowiki/>a, the [[Algosh Republic]], [[Ashkenang]], [[Maloka]], [[Austro-Caldera|Caldera]], and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Port Extranjero]]. [[Canespa]] is a Semi-Monarchical Congressional Company, meaning that it is controlled by a company known as the [[Canasta Company]]. Thanks to a company controlled government, one of [[Canespa|Canespa’s]] biggest drives is profit. [[Canespa]] values its farmland and it will do anything to protect it, [[Canespa|Canespas]] largest farms are in [[Chawpi Valle]], the [[Wallowaki mayu]] as well as the southern plains. These areas are where most [[Canespa|Canespians]] live and work.
'''Canespa''', officially ''The Third Wasiqanate of Canespa and Wasiqana'' is a nation which encompasses ten [[Suyukuna's]] and twelve [[mikuna's]]. [[Canespa]] spans just under 1.4 million square kilometers (524,000 sqmi), [[Canespa]] is a small to moderate sized country, being the largest within the [[Cusinaut]]. With a total population of just over 90 million [[Canespa|Canespa's]] population density is relatively low, only being 67 people per square kilometer (174 people/sqmi). [[Canespa|Canespa's]] capital, [[Canastapa]], is one of the oldest cities within the country and the [[Cusinaut]] as a whole. It is located along the [[Papa River]] within the [[Suyukuna's|Suyukuna]] of [[Papua]] in central [[Canespa]]. The rest of [[Canespa]] is situated with the [[Sea of Capelan]] and the [[Ocean of Cathay]] to its west. To the North sits the [[Quexten Bay]] ([[Mera Bay]]). Along the [[Quexten Bay]] sits one of [[Canespa|Canespa's]] largest cities, [[Extranjero]], whose port is owned by [[Burgundie]]. [[Canespa]] borders [[Porfíria|Porfiria]], [[Netansett]], [[Algosh Republic|the Algosh Republic]], [[Ashkenang]] and [[Burgundie]] ([[Port Extranjero]]). It additionally has a sea border with [[Maloka]] and [[Austro-Caldera]].  


[[Canespa]] as an idea has existed for thousands of years but the actual state didn’t unify until 1458 under the [[Wasi King]]. The monarchy of [[Canespa]] existed up until the 80s when the [[Canasta Company]] seized control of the government via a slow transition as the company began to mold with the government. There was no one massive coup but instead a slow and painful death for the government as it became more and more reliant on the company. Since [[Canespa]] effectively became a company its economy has boomed and so has its population. The company modernized [[Canespa]] leading to a population boom that is still ongoing. [[Canespa]] has one of the fastest growing populations in the world thanks to the fact that while modern it remains a fairly cheap place to live and it also remains an agrarian society.
[[Canespa]] is an Elective Monarchy with a hint of Confederacy. As such [[Canespa]] has a king known as the [[Wasi King]]. The [[Wasi King]] is a religious and political figure within [[Canespa]] as he is deemed an [[Eternal Kānenaka]]. The [[Wasi King]] is said to never die and is personified within the bounds of an elected person following the descent of the last [[Wasi King]]. As such the next [[Wasi King|Wasi Kings]] personification is voted on among the children of the current personification(s). The Children are not required to enter the election but they are all trained from birth in leadership skills in order to ensure they make a good leader. Elections only occur upon the death of the [[Wasi King|Wasi King's]] current personification or the acceptance of a new person(s) into the personification. The [[Wasi King]] is kept in check via the [[House of Union]]. The [[House of Union]] is an elected body that is picked via popular vote in order to represent the Houses of [[Canespa]]. The [[House of Union]] is the only legislative body within [[Canespa]] and is mostly made up of elders and probobal [[Eternal Kānenaka|Kānenaka]] from [[Culture of Canespa|Canespan]] society. The nations court system is entirely local and runs vary differently from [[Occidental world|Occidental]] visions of Judicial systems. With the main goal being reconciliation between parties rather then punishment.          


Thanks to the company [[Canespa]] is filthy rich for its size and it has invested in a number of large infrastructure projects in order to further modernize and expand upon the country. The biggest of these projects is [[Hamuq city]] which is a fully automated farming city that will be the single largest complex of food production on the planet. Once you add up the Canasta Companies food production it comes up to a total of 750 million metric tons of food per year. Or 8.6 metric tons of food per capita. [[Canespa]] could feed its population 10 times over in a comfortable manner. All of this food is then sold to [[Burgundie]], after this [[Burgundie]] exports the food all around the world. AAAAAAAAAA
The [[Canespa|Canespan]] economy is heavily tied toward agriculture making [[Canespa]] the largest food exporter when adjusted for nation size. Often nicknamed the "Breadbasket of [[Crona]]" or "The Potatobasket" due to its large production of Potato's which make it the largest Potato exporter on the globe, with just under 80% of the land in [[Canespa]] being dedicated toward agriculture or related aspects. Most of [[Canespa|Canespa's]] exports are cold weather crops like Potato's, Barley, and some vegtables including carrots, onions, cabbage, and broccoli. Aside from agriculture [[Canespa]] also has a large and self sufficient lumber industry due to the large northern forests within the country. The top trees that are harvested for there wood include pine, spruce, fir, hemlock and western redcedar. The [[Canespa|Canespan]] lumber industry is mostly for the production of local goods for [[Canespa]] and its surrounding neighbors. Aside from renewable goods [[Canespa]] also has a fairly large mining industry with uranium being one of [[Canespa|Canespa's]] largest mineral exports. This is due to the large uranium deposits found in the central regions of the [[Cusinaut]]. Along with uranium [[Canespa]] has a large mining industry for diatomite and perlite. All of these industries are controlled solely by the [[Canasta Company]] and its subsidiaries in the region. In short [[Canespa|Canespan]] economy can be described as an export economy where most the money made is via the sale of agricultural goods to foreign areas of the world via [[Port Extranjero]] which is controlled by [[Burgundie]] as part of a trade deal between [[Canespa]] and [[Burgundie]].                   
 
[[Canespa|Canespan]] foreign policy is mainly focused on ensuring that a shield against [[Occidental world|occidental]] influence is put across its neighbors to ensure the protection of the regions culture and independence. In addition to this [[Canespa|Canespan]] foreign policy relies heavily on making sure goods can make it out of [[Canespa]] and into the wider market. This is in order to maintain both the [[Canespa|Canespan]] economy and [[Canespa|Canespan]] "food power". Food power being [[Canespa|Canespa's]] ability to hold back exports to certain countries in order to force its will on said countries. Through these means [[Canespa]] can enforce its will as a modern country. Despite this [[Canespa|Canespan]] foriegn policy remains highly defensive and is the backbone of the [[Canespa|Canespan]] state. The "[[Canespan Mission]]" as it is called is an idea that it's the job of [[Canespa]] to free the [[Cusinaut]] from the influence of foreign powers and thus bring an end to colonialism. Its under this ideal that the state of [[Wasiqan|Wasiqana]] has based its foreign policy.                                        


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
Canes comes from the word "Canasta" which means Basket in the [[Papasimi]] Dialect. The first use of this name is unknown but it likely dates back thousands of years to some small tribe in the region. While pa comes from the word Potato. The meaning of these two words is vary significant to [[Canespa]] as they represent the country. While no one knows the original use of basket in the countries name it most likely came from a small tribe somewhere in [[Canespa]] that eventually found its way into [[Canespa]]'s name sake. While the baskets origin is must more wondered upon, the Potato in [[Canespa]]'s name came directly from [[House Papa]] and exstensive worship of the starchy food. It also is vary important to [[Canespa|Canespian]] culture as a whole.  
 
=== Roots ===
The name Canespa derives from two main words: Canasta and Papa. Canasta is the Canespan word for basket or bowl and is the main premise of Canespa. Notably the main company within Canespa is named the Canasta Company due to its roots of being a basket company. The second term is Papa, which is the Canespan word for Potato. Papa also originates from the Papa River in central Canespa where the capital lies.

==History==
==History==
===First era===
{{Further|History of Canespa and Wasiqana}}
The first signs of human inhabitants within the region originate in around 19,000 B.C.E as early forms of scavenging tool and clothing have been found.
[[File:A85711ea08d42339cd44516f347f98f9.jpg|left|thumb|208x208px|Recreation of a Nomad Period tribal dwelling]]
===Second era===
During the 8th through 14th century the country slowly began to centralize more into a state. The different families and clans slowly began to decrease in number but after the fall of [[House "Metal"]] in 1395, the clans stagnated as any move against one another would break the balance of power that existed. This all changed thanks to the [[Wasi King]] in 1458. He was a member of [[House "Light"]]. The [[Wasi King]] proposed that all the houses form together and create the country of [[Canespa]]. A country that could withstand the forces of any neighboring land. The houses were convinced by both by the [[Wasi King's]] legendary speaking skills and the looming threat of colonizers in the area. For the next 300 years [[Canespa]] would almost totally remove itself from the world. 


=== The Wasi King ===
=== The Nomad Period ===
The [[Wasi King]] has been a major individual and title that has greatly effected [[Canespa]] up to the modern day. The [[Wasi King]] first appeared in the year 1157. He was able to unite four of the houses at the time with a great war headed by the [[House Wasi]]. Who conquered [[House Kuskachay]], [[House Espada]], and [[House Kanchi]]. Though this union was short lived it cemented the concept of the [[Wasi King]]. Any person or persons that united multiple houses would be known as the [[Wasi King]]. There name(s) would also converted to [[Wasi]] and they would be regarded as one individual. The [[Wasi King]] was the supreme ruler up until the [[Canasta Company]] gained full control of the government in the 60s. Though some argue that the board of executives is the [[Wasi King]]. The board has interestingly never claimed this title and has effectively ended the tradition somewhat.  
During the Nomad period many families and small tribes lived independent of each other and most lived nomadic lifestyles. This Period is defined by the collection of these peoples into larger and larger groups eventually creating the first "Proto-Houses" within Canespa. The first being House Kanchi.
 
=== The Tribal Cohesion Period ===
The Tribal Cohesion Period is defined by the constant wars and skirmishes between the early Houses. During the Tribal Cohesion Period many houses rose and fell with the houses that exist today being the result of these wars. The idea of Canespa was vacant during this period and most just wanted local dominance.
 
=== The National Cohesion Period ===
The National Cohesion Period is defined by the idea of Canespa and the formation of Wasiqana. During this time every house wanted to be the one to unite Canespa under its banner. Eventually after two series of wars and treaties Canespa would be united by House Wasi. Thus making Canespa Wasiqana.
 
=== The Wasiqana Period ===
The Wasiqana Period is known as a peaceful one where the country avoided colonization through unity and trade deals. It is a quiet time in Canespan history as the state slowly modernized and evolved into a Canespa resembling the one that exists today.


===Third era===
=== The Stagnation Period ===
The reign of the [[Wasi King]] lasted for ages, and it brought relative prosperity to area. The country slowly expanded in a small series of conflicts that shaped the modern borders of Canespa. This was a quiet time in [[Canespa|Canespian]] history with not much going on. the threat of colonizers was on the rise but none had expressed much interest in [[Canespa|Canespian]] land. There was a brief civil war between [[Canespa|Canespa's]] south and its north over if the houses should even remain united with the threat of colonizers being a seemingly far one. This civil war ended in a northern victory which led to the maintaining of the union of houses. This could well have been a turning point in [[Canespa|Canespian]] history. 
The Stagnation Period, despite its name was mostly prosperous aside from the incarnation of the Wasi Kings slow decline. Throughout the Stagnation Period the Wasi King lost more and more power while also becoming more and more self centered and lazy. This period is marked by the rise of the Canasta Company within Canespa as well as marking Canespa's full transition into modernity.
===Fourth era===
During the {{wp|Age of Sail}} [[Canespa]] and the [[Maritime Dericania|Maritime Deric]] [[Duchy of Martilles]] formed an alliance that guaranteed that no [[Occidental]] power would try to colonize [[Canespa]]. This economic and military alliance would go on to greatly influence [[Canespa|Canespian]] history and it would influence the rise of the [[Canasta Company]]. Though the original alliance was vary primative compared to its current state. It is still was ended up saving [[Canespa]] as it held off any threat of colonization while also giving [[Canespa]] time to modernize on its own in a natural process that took centuries but would eventually pay off. Additionally [[Canespa]] would eventually start to modernize economically as industries and large companies began to form. This is the birth of the [[Canasta Company]]. An organization that would come to define [[Canespa]] and finally end the [[Wasi Kings]] reign.


===Fifth/Sixth era===
=== The Corporate Period ===
The [[Canasta Company]] is one of the products of the 19th century. It revolutionized almost everything about the country. From healthcare to labor to education everything changed when the company started leading the country. The original executives who first led the country all had lived and learned in foreign lands and were ready to bring that knowledge and prosperity to [[Canespa]]. They first brought in mass produced modern farming equipment while also reforming the education system while updating almost every curriculum within [[Canespa|Canespian]] schools. The following technological boom lead into the [[Canespa|Canespian]] population boom which has doubled the number of [[Canespa|Canespian's]] since 1980. The company gave [[Canespa]] all the tools it needed to thrive. Though some conservative leaning members of [[Canespa|Canespian]] society fought back for some time they were quickly shot down as the prosperity within [[Canespa]] soared. Due to this new technology [[Canespa]] could produce food on a once thought to be impossible scale for a nation its size.
The Corporate Period is marked by the Canasta Companies rule and influence as it becomes the main economic driver of the country. As such the corporate period was mostly stable up until 2034 where the Urceo-Canespan stand off led to the dissolution of the Canasta government. As such the Canasta Government is no longer in power but its influence can still not be ignored.

===Climate and environment===
[[Canespa]], while being the in the far north of the planet, maintains a mild climate thanks to the currents of the ocean to its west. This has helped it maintain a climate suitable for farms. [[Canespa]]'s soil is thin and grainy which means it is perfect for the growth of potatoes. This soil has effectively shaped [[Canespa]]'s history into one of a rich monoculture that can produce more food then its people would ever need and more. The booming forests in the northern reaches of Canespa have allowed for a large logging industry to start in a few of Canespa's provinces. 
==Government and Politics==
==Government and Politics==
[[Canespa]] is effectively ruled by the [[Canasta Company]]. But its still split into two "branches" including the [[Board of Executives]] and the [[House of Union]]. 
{{Further|Government of Canespa}}
===Executive===
The countries Executive branch is lead by the [[Board of Executives]] a 12 person council. There is a mandated two members from each of the houses. Additionally one member is mandated to be a foreigner from a foreign branch of the company. Since this position was mandated it has been controlled by [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] individual. The last member is the head of the council. They are required to be from [[House Wasi]]. This individual most be either a child or grandchild  of the previous council head above the age of 25. The council heads official position name is the Wasiexu (Was-ee-x-oo). The [[Wasiexu]] is the effective CEO of the [[Canasta Company]]. The [[Board of Executives]] is in charge of all of [[Canespa]]'s foreign relations and most of its economic decisions. 


To Become A member of the [[Board of Executives]] a person must be of atleast the age of 25 (though this is rare) and have proved themself within the [[Canasta Company]] working there way up the chain of command. Each executive is required to have a designated heir that holds a high ranking position in the company while also being of the same house. As for the [[Wasiexu]]. They are voted on by the [[House Union]]. Usually there are only 3-4 runners for the position considering the strict requirements. Additionally the foreign spot is chosen by the other executives and not by the previous foreigner. 
=== The Wasi King ===
{{Further|Wasi King}}
[[File:WasiKing.jpg|thumb|First picture ever taken of the Wasi Kings personification.]]
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.

===Federal Subdivisions===
=== Federal Subdivisions ===
[[File:Canespa sub division.png|thumb|All 22 subdivision's of [[Canespa]]]]
{{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.

Most [[mikuna's]] are landlocked with only three of them having any coastline.  
Each subdivision is usually controlled by the [[Canespa|Canespian]] House that has the largest stake in the population of the division. 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.

===Politics===
===House of Union===
The only place where any pseudo parties exist is the [https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/16088000/ House of Union]. Since worker unions are illegal in the country, an alternative was created in the form of the [[House of Union]]. Its job is to make sure the houses left over from the [[Wasi-King]] are reigned in and happy. Each house controls a certain amount of members in a 275 person senate. This senate will vote over cultural and internal issues. Effectively acting as a guard to stop extremest Executives from gaining to much power. This senate has little power though and is not always effective. The houses include [[House Papa]], [[House Espada]], [[House Kuskachay]], [[House Qispisqa Kay]], and [[House Kanchi]]. Historically [[House Kanchi]] has reigned supreme but since 1994 [[House Papa]] has held a commanding lead. Bribery is common within the [[House of Union]]. Different Executives will occasionally bribe entire houses in order to gain more power within the country. 


The house will vote on bills passed to them by the countries executives. There are different types of bills that require different percentages of the house. The main three are economic, law, and defense. A bill can be passed to the [[House of Union]] once any number of executives have signed the bill. The percentage needed to pass any bill starts at 92.5% with one executives signature and goes down by 7.5 percent with every additional signature. Defense bills add 10%, Law bills don't effect the percentage and Economic bills subtract 10%. The percentage needed to win maxes out at 92.5% while the minimum percentage needed for any bill is 10%.


The House's members are chosen through a series of recommendations made by different high officials in different industries and recommendations from different training programs. These recommended men and women are then voted in by anyone with a managing position within the company.

The main ethnic group in the country is [[Canespa|Canespian]] which consists mainly of anyone from the 7 Houses. Though [[Canespa]] is a big place so most of the time its split into two, Southern [[Canespa|Canespian]] and Northern [[Canespa|Canespian]]. Northern [[Canespa|Canespian]] is the bigger of the two ethnicities being roughly 68 million strong. While there are only roughly 30 million southern [[Canespa|Canespians]] the culture is even more rural then its northern counterpart. Northern and southern [[Canespa|Canespian's]] have relatively good relations and have rarely fought in the past. The Northern [[Canespa|Canespian's]] were the only ones who were part of the original [[Wasi Kings]] kingdom which quickly fell apart.
Additional ethnic groups include cultures adjacent to [[Canespa]], as well as a large [[Bergendii]] minority and a fairly notable minority of [[Faneria|Fanerian's]]. The [[Bergendii]] minority is a fairly recent development that has come from small amounts of immigration caused by [[Port Extranjero]]. The [[Faneria|Fanerian]] minority is much more ancient as it comes from the short lasting coastal settlements created by [[Faneria]] along the [[Canespa|Canespian]] shoreline. These settlements were raided and the surviving citizens of these settlements were slowly integrated into [[Canespa|Canespian]] society.


===Language ===
===Language ===
[[Papasimi]] is the official language of [[Canespa]]. The language is thousands of years old and has not spread far out of [[Canespa]]. It was used for a small amount of time in the more western areas of the [[Northern Federation]] but it died out there after the collapse of the federation. The languages origin point is often debated by scholars. While some say it most likely came from the mountains do to many of the mountains in the region having there names deeply rooted in the language while others believe that it started along the coast which would have allowed it to spread faster. Even some believe that it didn't originate in the [[Cusinaut]] at all and came from the mainland thousands of years ago in small tribes.
{{Further|Language in Canespa}}
 
The adoption of the alphabet in Papasimi is a fairly recent development. Before this the only writing done of the language was in complex ruins and images that were hard to read and hard to write. Ultimately the language was changed and each word was crafted into a new spelling through a complex process that lasted years.

===Religion===
===Religion===
Religion in [[Canespa]] is majorly identifies with [[M'acunism]]. The people of [[Canespa]] through there isolation formed there own school of teaching within [[M'acunism]]. Known as the Nature school is a slightly different form of [[M'acunism]] that instead of focusing on the hierarchy of animals focuses more about the connection to the planet that the Great Oneness has. Individuals from the Nature school believe that while there is a hierarchy, plants are a part of it. This is different from the other schools as they focus specifically on the animal kingdom. They also believe that any use of mother natures resources in a destructive way directly harms her. This influences the laws of [[Canespa]] in that all types of fossil fuels are outlawed with a few exceptions like the military. 
{{Further|M'acunism}}


The state has a mild connection to the religion. The [[Wasiexu]] is required to follow [[M'acunism]]. While other executives are not required to follow the religion, they all do. [[M'acunism]] in [[Canespa]] has held strong against Christian missionaries for centuries. This has been thanks to the belief that all the stories of the bible are centralized to one location, and do not reflect the actions of an all powerful being. It is also thanks to the isolationism that [[Canespa]] took part in for centuries that this school spread.

Although [[Canespa]] is not known for its music it has a couple notable country artists. Its mainly known for its artistic 3d sculptures made up of many things from nature including fruits and vegetables, grass, flowers, and even dirt held together with preservatives to stop the food from going bad. These sculptures are known as [[Rurukuna Rikuchiy]]. The largest known piece of rurukuna rikuchiy was made and sculpted at the entrance of [[Hamuq City]]. As for literature, some of the most popular books in Canespian culture are generally massive worldbuilding stories that come together to represent different things that are important to life. [[Canespa|Canespian]] philosophers are some of the most questioning of all and there main focus is on the meaning of life and the connection to our planet that we all share.

There are 12 teams in the CFL that all compete for the top four records in the main season in order to enter a four team playoff. The CFL is split in the SCFL (Southern Canespian Football League) and the NCFL (Northern Canespian Football League).

The winners famously get to enjoy a massive feast with the [[Wasiexu]] and other notable members in the countries government.

The Potato Flower is the main symbol of the country and is the logo of the [[Canasta Company]]. It is also used to represent the Nature School of [[M'acunism]]. The first use of this as a symbol of [[Canespa]] was in 1198 when [[House Papa]] carved the flower into there war canoes. The use continued and eventually spread to other houses before becoming the man symbol of the [[Wasi King]] and his power.

=== The Pyramids ===
=== The Pyramids ===
The ____ Pyramids are a group of pyramids going from [[Canastapa]] to the southern border of [[Canespa]]. They were built sometime before the [[Wasi]] era of [[Canespa|Canespian]] history. They were built for a multitude of reasons. One reason was related to the religious implications of the structures. 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. Some of the pyramids were massive and took decades to build.

All remaining pyramids in [[Canespa]] are protected by the government as areas of worship. Only peoples identifying to the [[M'acunism|M'acunist]] faith may enter the vicinity of the temples. They tend to attract many visitors from other nations who are all of the [[M'acunism|M'acunist]] faith.

[[Hamuq City]], located in the north east of [[Canespa]] alongside [[Cuenca River]],  stands as a testament to what humans can accomplish. Nestled amidst a landscape of rolling hills and verdant plains, the sustainable and thought out city stands upon the barren landscape. [[Hamuq’s]] elegantly named [[Kawsay Tower’s]] are unparalleled in beauty and sheer innovation. The towers are the heart of the design and can produce more food then any structure seen before. Each tower alone can feed millions.

[[Canespa]] has an economy dominated by the agriculture industry which makes up 76% of the nation's exports at a total of 750 million metric tons of food produced per year. This is followed by timber which makes up 13%, then dams/waterway-fees which make up 6% followed by all other industries. [[ Canespa]] has a rich history of farming in the [[Cusinaut]]. This caused them to be a very tribal nation up until the 60s when the [[Canasta Company]] gained control of the government. The company was started in the 20s and slowly grew through the decades. Its strategy from the beginning was to fill a niche and profit greatly from it. Despite the vastly more profitable option of industrializing, [[Canasta]]'s leadership decided to play the long game as it predicted the food shortages that would come with urbanization. As such [[Canespa|Canespian]] grown food feeds much of the world.

The [[Canespa|Canespian]] industry is constantly evolving and new technologies are being created to assist in growth. [[Canespa|Canespa’s]] largest tech department is specifically used to genetically modify plants to further their output. New machines are being developed to harvest wood and food faster and entire infrastructure projects are devoted to the production of food. [[Hamuq City Reservoir Crisis|Hamuq city]] is a prime example of all of these factors and will be a completely automated city that can produce more food than any other location on the planet. The [[Canespa|Canespian]] industry is growing fast along with its population which is expected to surpass 100M by 2042.

[[Canespa|Canespa's]] economy also extends into foreign lands through the Canasta Company, although areas outside the country don't technically consist of [[Canespa|Canespa's]] economy, they do feed into it. The [[Canasta Company]] is international and has made deals in many areas including Varshan and the Iles Evangeline.

===Currency===

[[File:CASA DIGITAL.png|thumb|Capesa]]
In 2027 [[Canespa]] updated its currency into the [[Capesa]]. An (almost) completely digital style of currency exchange. The [[Capesa]] is digital form of currency that is backed by electricity. One [[Capesa]] is equal to one Kilowatt of electricity. While this does lead to a slightly harder to control currency it means that [[Canespa]] can engage in trade deals with other nations that result in direct energy transfer. Thanks to this [[Canespa]] produces little energy of its own. Instead it imports most of its energy from other countries in exchange for food. Before this, [[Canespa]] was using the [[Taler]] because of its connections with [[Burgundie]] as they were the main trade partner of [[Canespa]].

Workers within [[Canespa]], especially in more rural areas. Are paid with a vary small amount of cash, instead, material wealth is used to pay workers. Better housing and better food are often given to the harder workers within Canespian society.

The people of [[Canespa]] get around using the [[Qumir Canals]]. A massive canal network within the country that is used to transport everything from military equipment to food to even people.  In addition to the canals there is a high speed rail network between Canestapa, [[Port Extranjero]], and Hamuq Cities construction cite. There are smaller outshoots of this rail network connecting to the smaller coastal cities of [[Canespa]] but these rail networks are expensive and not entirely tested so the canals have remained the main transportation device within the country.
 
[[Canespa]] also has relatively small road networks going through major cities with completely biofuel run cars that are imported into the country. It is illegal to use any non-government approved fuel.
===Energy===
===Energy===
Most of the people of [[Canespa]] have not had access to electricity till around the 1980s. Today most of the countries electricity is imported while some of it is brought in through dams built along the rivers flowing down from the mountains. These dams supply about 40% of [[Canespa]]'s electricity requirements, while the rest is imported from the [[Cusinaut]] and [[Crona]]. [[Canespa]] is strictly against fossil fuels and any type of high pollution energy source. This is due to the belief that using these fuels directly harms the mother nature herself. This leads to [[Canespa]] also being one of the largest producers in biofuel. Biofuel is used to power almost every non electric powered device in [[Canespa]].
