Its capital is Port Hyannis (Chappaquiddic: Һиянниокуассет, Coscivian: Hæyannimur), named for Captain Írardus Hyannis (alternatively spelled Hæyannin) of the Kiravian Atrassic Trading Company, who built and commanded a fort on the site. Formerly a tribal region within the [[Nanseetucket]] confederation, Chappaquiddick declared independence in [[2035]] with military and diplomatic support from the [[Kiravian Federacy]] and has since begun its development as a sovereign country. | ||

At the moment of its declaration of independence, Chappaqua bordered the Western Alpachnee Confederation to the north and northwest, and the remainder of Nanseetucket to the east and southeast, separated from the former by the Anaqua River and from the latter by the Rumancoke River. However, as [[the Deluge]] has unfolded, leading to the collapse of Nanseetucket and the Western Alpachnee's loss of control over most of its coastal territories, Chappaqua does not currently have a ''de facto'' border with any sovereign state, and is currently surrounded by the Circum-Chappaquiddick Security Zone, which is protected by the Multinational Peacekeeping Force in conjunction with the Chappaqui military and is under Kiravian military administration. | ||
Chappaqua has a notoriously rocky shoreline lined with numerous islets and shoals. It has a cool, temperate continental climate moderated by humid air blowing in from Yordest Bay. Most of the country is forested. | Chappaqua has a notoriously rocky shoreline lined with numerous islets and shoals.

Chappaquiddick came into contact with Kiravian merchants not long after the first permanent Kiravian settlements were established on [[Atrassica]]. A lucrative trade in furs, [other goods, wtf do temperate places have worth trading?], and ''guči'' - a mildly psychoactive substance extracted from the immature berries of the fiddy tree - soon developed.

A lucrative trade in furs, [other goods, wtf do temperate places have worth trading?], and ''guči'' - a mildly psychoactive substance extracted from the immature berries of the fiddy tree - soon developed. Insular Apostolic and Coscivian Catholic missionaries arrived soon after, and although reception of their message among the Chappaqui was mixed and occasionally elicited violent responses, by YEAR there were seven "praying villages" of Christian Chappaqui, as well as a Christian native community in and around Port Hyannis. | ||
<strike>Today, Chappaquiddick is a [insert subdivision title here] of the country of Nanseetucket, but the Chappaqui people have long agitated for greater autonomy or even full independence, often with quiet backing from the Kiravian government. The Chappaquiddick People's Liberation Party and its armed wing, the Chappaquiddick People's Liberation Army are the most radical group within this movement. The CPLP and CPLA were organised in [year during Kirosocialism] and waged a four-year long armed struggle against the government of Nanseetucket that de-escalated into a low-level insurgency by [year] but continued until the signing of an uneasy truce in [fairly recent year]. Although the Kiravian government denies any involvement, it is widely acknowledged that the Kiravian government has supported the Chappaquiddick separatist movement for decades, and was likely responsible for organising the CPLP/CPLA in the first place. Representatives of the CPLP have attended annual meetings of the Shaftonist-Republican Interstate Conference as "global partners" of the Federacy's governing party.</strike> | <strike>Today, Chappaquiddick is a [insert subdivision title here] of the country of Nanseetucket, but the Chappaqui people have long agitated for greater autonomy or even full independence, often with quiet backing from the Kiravian government.

Similarly to [[Kiravia]] and [[Caphiria]], Chappaqua clearly distinguishes between citizenship and mere nationality. The essence of the Chappaqui body politic is not a territorial entity that governs the people within its boundaries, but rather a "sovereign people" (the Chappaqui) who exercise political control over the lands they traditionally possess and inhabit (Chappaqua). As such, the right of citizenship is only extended to members of the Chappaqui tribe. However, Chappaqui custom has long recognised the status of ''pomuk'' ("guest") living among the Chappaqui. After independence, this status was extended to all persons "lawfully and legitimately resident among us". Guest peoples may seek and be granted Chappaqui nationality - conferring {{wp|right of abode}} and the right to a Chappaqui passport - but not the political rights and other privileges associated with full tribal citizenship. Guests may also remain {{wp|resident alien}} expatriates. | Similarly to [[Kiravia]] and [[Caphiria]], Chappaqua clearly distinguishes between citizenship and mere nationality.

No census has been conducted in Chappaqua since independence. However, according to the Chappaqui Ministry of Domestic Affairs, 91% of the population of Chappaquiddick are members of the indigenous Chappaqui tribe. 5% are [[Kiravians]] (predominantly Coscivian), and 4% are Punthites of other tribal affiliations. However, these figures have been questioned on the suspicion that the Chappaqui government may be distorting them to make the country appear more homogeneously Chappaqui. | ===Demographics=== | ||

The | The Chappaqui language is the official and national language of Chappaqua, and is spoken by virtually all full citizens. Guest peoples speak Coscivian languages (mainly [[West Coast Marine Coscivian]]) and Cronite languages (mostly Chikibriki, Shenango, and Chesequaki). | ||
===Religion=== | |||
The religious demography of Chappaqua is a matter of some contention, with different sources offering different estimates in the absence of a comprehensive census or nationwide survey. It is known that most people in Chappaquiddick practice {{wp|Christianity}}, indigenous Punthite religions, or some combination of the two, though it is unclear what percentage of the population fall into each category. The Kiravian State Affairs Executive states that Chappaqua is 38% Christian, while the Ignatian University of [[Ilfenóra]] claims the Christian population is closer to 25%. [[Levantine Catholicism]] in the Coscivian Rite is the largest Christian denomination, followed by the [[Insular Apostolic Church]] and the {{wp|Athinganoi|Church of the Magisterium of Melchizadek}}. The Chappaqui ethnic religion combines elements of {{wp|shamanism}} and {{wp|totemism}}, and in some places involves the worship of personal deïties. Two deities with major followings in Chappaquiddick are {{wp|Larry the Lobster|The Great Lobstah}}, revered mainly in coastal regions, and [[Xzibit]], originally worshipped in central and western Nanseetucket. | |||
