'''Iriquona''', officially the '''Dominion of Iriquona''', is a country in [[Cusinaut]]. It is neighbored by [[Porfíria]], [[New Harren]], and the [[Algosh Republic]].

The Sabnak 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 Sabnaki territory. A cohesive Sabnak culture began to emerge with the advent and spread of writing during the early medieval period, with a unified Sabnak monarchy emerging by the 1400s. Sabnak 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 Sabnak 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]]. In the early modern period, [[Kiravia]] militarily subjugated the Iriquonan state but did not establish economic overlordship or settler colonies beyond the immediate coastal littral, which became [[Porfiria]]; accordingly, the arrival of the colonial era changed very little beyond becoming part of Porfírian colonial claims. In the place of the old monarchy, the eight social tribes established the Hukon League, which eventually became the official representative of indigenous people in the territory claimed by Kiravia; it concluded the Treaty of Vittēmur in [[1773]], which created a line beyond which [[Occidental]]s could not settle. The Vittēmur line eventually became a jurisdictional boundary between the colonial Porfírian government and the Hukon League, and today forms Iriquona's southern border. During the 19th century, the Hukon League would begin social and political integration of its various constituent elements while also gradually gaining further autonomy from the Porfírian colonial government.

This era of Sabnaki is known primarily as the "export society", wherein the Sabnak 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 Sabnak confederated state was reformed into a centralized state. The Sabnak people voluntarily receded from isolation and joined the [[League of Nations]] in the 1950s. After the [[Algosh coup|fall of the Northern Confederation]], the Sabnak people resumed their centuries-long skirmishing with [[Algoquona]], the new Algosh state. Within this context, the Sabnak found new allies in the [[Occident]]. Throughout the 2010s, the Sabnak 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 Sabnaki 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. Observers have noted a growing {{wp|middle class}} becoming increasingly disillusioned with the traditional ruling cliques and planter aristocracy that once held firm control over Sabnak society.  

Iriquona is the traditional native name for the geographic region the country occupies, translating roughly as "wooded hills". For a time, the country was known internationally as "Huconia" due to the nation's historic association with the Hukon League, but by [[1910]] this terminology had been disavowed as the name was largely a [[Coscivian]] {{wp|exonym}}. The Hukon League's name derived from the Treaty of Hukon, then a major village in modern Iriquona. The term was never officially adopted by the people of Iriquona themselves.

Iriquona is a lacklocked country sitting in south-central [[Cusinaut]]. It sits entirely below the {{Wp|Arctic Circle}}.

Although its independence was formally established, from the establishment of the republic to the onset of the [[Kiravian Civil War]], Iriquona was bound by various political and economic treaties  

With the [[Kiravian Sunderance]] and establishment of [[Porfíria]] as a major constituent part of the [[Kiravian Remnant]], Iriquona was in a newfound position of relative strength and began diplomatic and military posturing against the Kiravians. As the remnant could not afford any disruptions in Porfíria, the Remnant agreed to renegotiate most of its treaties with Iriquona. In the resulting 1940 Settlement, Iriquona's position relative to Kiravia was reestablished on mostly equal terms. The [[Kiravian Union]] retroactively recognized the 1940 Settlement in [[1941]] in an effort to normalize its diplomatic relations in [[Crona]]. The end of the period of economic and political exploitation coincided with the end of the [[Second Great War]], allowing Iriquona to join the newly established [[League of Nations]] as an independent state.

Due to the long term colonial influence of [[Kiravia]], various types of {{wp|Christianity}} make up the majority population in Iriquona. [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] is the largest religion in the country when counting adherents of both the Latin and Coscivian rites, comprising about 43% of Iriquonis. The [[Insular Apostolic Church]] makes up about 16% of the population. A very small number of Iriquonis are {{wp|Protestant}}s belonging to the [[College of Levantine Churches|Collegiate]] tradition.

A large minority of Iriquonis remain part of the [[M'acunism|M'acunist]] belief system, and when considering the Coscivian and Latin rites of Catholicism differently, it is the plurality religion of the country. It has been noted that a second wave of Christianization is currently occurring in Iriquona in the wake of [[The Deluge|the Deluge]], and [[Catholic Church|Latin Catholic]] missionaries have been making major inroads in the country since [[2010]].

The Sabnak economy is mostly deregulated in order to encourage continued economic prosperity.

Due to the lack of an oceanic port, Iriquona is largely dependent on its relationship with Porfíria to maintain its exports.
