The Chenango Confederacy was so-named in the ''Declaration of the Independence of the Chenango Peninsula''. Despite common misconceptions, the Confederacy is named for the geographical feature rather than for the Great and Little Chenango peoples who form a major part of its population. The word ''Chenango'' is accepted to have derived from the Housatonish word ''O-chenang'', meaning "land of the {{wp|bullthistle}}." | The Chenango Confederacy was so-named in the ''Declaration of the Independence of the Chenango Peninsula''.

==Geography== | ==Geography== | ||
The Confederacy is almost entirely located on the Chenango Peninsula, from which it takes its name. The peninsula is located on the eastern shore of [[Cusinaut]] and extends into the [[Sea of Nysdra]]. The entire country is within the {{wp|Subarctic climate|subarctic climate}} region, and as such it has long cold winters with cool summers, though the coasts of the peninsula experience slightly warmer summer temperatures. Flora diversity in the area is extremely limited, with a small variety of hardy trees that cover much of the non-urbanized part of the country. Notably, {{wp|Cirsium horridulum|bullthistle}} is present in the southern half of the peninsula, giving the country its name. The majority of human settlement on the peninsula is in urban centers along the coasts of the peninsula, though a smaller urban corridor exists roughly on the country's western border with the [[Algosh Republic]]. | |||

The Chenango Confederacy comprises of three main cultural groups, with the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#E-H|Great Chenango]] making up a majority of the population, the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#I-L|Little Chenango]] a sizable minority, and the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#I-L|Island Honeoye]] a small minority, which was slightly increased by the integration of [[Pachaug]] into the Confederacy. | The Chenango Confederacy comprises of three main cultural groups, with the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#E-H|Great Chenango]] making up a majority of the population, the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#I-L|Little Chenango]] a sizable minority, and the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#I-L|Island Honeoye]] a small minority, which was slightly increased by the integration of [[Pachaug]] into the Confederacy. | ||
Professional sports, particularly the [[Northern Crona Lacrosse Association]], are very popular in the Confederacy, and lacrosse is widely played at both the scholastic and popular level. The country's enduring poverty and lack of significant capital has precluded the expansion of professional lacrosse to the country, though foreign investors and even some development organizations such as the Urcean [[Ministry_of_Commerce_(Urcea)#Agency_for_Cronan_Economic_Development|Agency for Cronan Economic Development]] have been working since the late 2020s to site and construct a professional sports facility within the country. | |||

The Chenango Confederacy is one of the world's poorest countries, and it sits at the brink between a {{wp|developing country}} and a {{wp|Least developed countries|least developed country}}. | |||

The Chenango Confederacy has two military branches as well as a shared naval force. The primary component of its armed forces is the Trinational Army (TNA), which is the Confederacy's ground-based military force with some limited maritime and airborne assets as well, primarily helicopters of various kinds. The Trinational Army replaced the Organized Militia of the country, which conducted operations during the Confederacy's quest for independence in the [[Final War of the Deluge]] and operated from [[2023]] through [[2026]]. Unlike the Organized Militia, the Trinational Army is a professional, standing army, and in [[2032]] it had an on-paper strength of 38,000 men, though many of these personnel are still considered to be in training or fit only for garrison duty. The TNA is organized into three mechanized brigades, a marine and coast guard regiment, an artillery regiment, an engineer regiment, a logistical regiment, and several specialized battallions as well as a training center command. In [[2026]], the Trinational Army sent its 1st Mechanized Brigade to serve in the joint [[League-occupied Varshan|League of Nations occupation of Varshan]], the only Cusinautic country to do so. The mission there concluded in [[2029]] and served both as a participation in the international mission as well as a continued training and military development exercise, as commanders and personnel from the TNA regularly interacted with military personnel from other occupying countries. The TNA is largely equipped with refurbished versions of previous generation [[List of equipment of the Armed Forces of Urcea|Urcean equipment]], but in [[2032]] it placed orders for more modern Urcean equipment to be delivered in the future. The TNA is the fourth largest army in [[NSTA]], following the armed forces of [[Urcea]], [[Quetzenkel]], and [[New Harren]]. In [[2032]], the TNA entered [[Pachaug]] to suppress the [[Pachoy Rebellion]]. Although professionally organized, the TNA is generally thought by most international observers to have performed poorly during the rebellion, including and especially in their partially failed attempt to rescue hostages during that conflict as well as during a high profile friendly fire incident. In the wake of the rebellion, the TNA contracted with [[Intrepid Enterprises]] to examine its shortcomings, retrain officers and key personnel, and offer recommendations for future improvements to the Army. | The Chenango Confederacy has two military branches as well as a shared naval force.

The military composes a large part of public expenditure in the Confederacy, and its preeminence has become a significant domestic political issue given the country's poverty. | |||
