Kernansquillec ([kɜ:ʳnoʊnski:jek]), officially the Parliamentary Republic of Kernansquillec (French: République Parlementaire de Kernansquillec [ʁepyblik paʁləmɑ̃tɛʁ də kɜ:ʳnoʊnski:jek]), is a sovereign state comprising territory in south western Ruhsmore. Kernansquillecan territory extends from Lac Oranga and Uzekia to the Goose Sea, from Civil Citizenry to the former territories of Mangolana. Kernansquillec spans 1,976,986 km² (763,318 sq mi) and has a total population of 301.3 million. It is a unitary parliamentary republic with the capital in Kernansquillec City, the country's largest city and commercial hub.
The first humans to live in the modern-day region of Kernansquillec are believed to have arrived around 2500BT. Settlements began to develop from the end of the Prehistoric Era and by the 6th century most of Kernansquillec was divided into a large system of city-states. An actual unified country covering the territory of modern-day Kernansquillec would only emerge with the Kernak Era. Following the conquests of Kernak I and his son, Kernak II, a nation - by the name of Kernakàn - was founded on the 23rd November 853.
The unified nation would not last however. By the turn of the millennium a Dark Age had set upon the land as Kernakàn was split in two: northern Oranges and southern Kernanski. The division between the two halves would remain in place until 1378 when an actual nation called Kernansquillec was born. The price for unity was high however, as the nation became subdued by a radical theological regime known as the Saviors. The regime would last until the mid-18th century when a new struggle was born: the fight for democracy. Two civil wars would follow one another, but the 1st October 1765, the constitution of the Second Parliamentary Republic of Kernansquillec was sighed by Kernansquillec's new Prime Minister, Benjamin Orinda.
Kernansquillec was developed at a fast pace afterwards and soon became an economic powerhouse in Rushmore. Everything changed in 2020 however as the Great War began. A seemingly stable and prosperous nation was dragged into an eleven year long war that would drain resources and bring the country to the brink of collapse in the fight against Uzekian forces. Victory in July 2031 marked the beginning of the Third Republic and set in motion the construction of today's Kernansquillec.
Since the rise of the First Republic, Kernansquillec's cultural and economic influence in Rushmore has grown. Kernansquillec is one of the most popular destinations for foreign visitors in Rushmore with an estimated 145 million tourists arriving every year. Kernansquillec is a developed economy, producing an estimated 16.648 trillion N$D worth of GDP per year, while managing to keep a very high level of living for all citizens. Kernansquillec is famed for its incredibly low Gini coefficient with the divide between rich and poor greatly reduced thanks to ambitious taxation policies. Kernansquillec also performs well in terms of welfare spending, public education and eco-friendliness.
Kernansquillec is a well respected power in the world. It is a member of the World Assembly and of the Security Council. Kernansquillec also has a developped military force of over 233,000 personnel.
Contents
Etymology
Kernansquillec's name is derived from the name of the first country to be formed on it's mainland, Kernakàn, which in turn was named after it's first King, King Kernak I. Kernakàn then evolved into Kernanski during the Dark Ages before a nation called Kernansquillec was born in 1378. The first mention of the name being used can be dated back to 1303.
Kernansquillec's inhabitants are known as Kernansquillecans while the country's name can be shortened to the trigram KRN, namely for international sporting events such as the Olympic Games or the UICA's Champions' Cup.
