Kaiyyo (IPA: /kaij:o/, Native language: Country, IPA: //), officially the Republic of Kaiyyo, is a country on southern Lahan. It borders Tuyo to the west. Kaiyyo is the second most populous country on Lahan, after Tuyo, with a population of over 34 million inhabitants. It occupies a total land area of 779,002 km2 (300,774 sq mi), and its capital and largest city is NAME.
Kaiyyo was inhabited by a large number of indigenous groups before the arrival of Neviran colonisers and subsequent Neviran rule in the Nth century. Kaiyyo remained under Neviran rule[citation needed] until YEAR, when it declared independence from Nevira and has remained independent since. Despite remaining under Neviran rule for much of its history, large areas of Kaiyyo's interior remain largely inaccessible to this day.
History
Pre-Neviran period
Archaeological and genetic evidence suggests that humans first inhabited Kaiyyo around 36,000 to 39,000 years ago. These humans were descendants of the first waves of human migration out of Ekuosia. These first inhabitants were likely nomadic hunter-gatherer groups, however little is known of the cultural or linguistic identity as they were replaced by later migrations.
Around 4,500 BCE, Lahiri-speaking pastoralists migrated across the Sea of Lahan from Puzimm.
Neviran arrival
The first recorded landfall of Neviran sailors on the land that would later become Kaiyyo occurred in 1668, near the beginning of the Neviran empire's colonisation of Lahan. This first landfall occurred at the mouth of the NAME river, where the first Neviran colony in Kaiyyo was established and the flag raised at ""NAME"" bay ((now the site of the capital)).
The indigenous population declined for more than 200 years following the establishment of the first colonies in Kaiyyo, at first primarily due to infectious disease and later in frontier conflicts with the settlers. Prior to the arrival of Neviran settlers, indigenous groups had little in the way of ranged weaponry. Because of this, guns became very valuable to indigenous groups and settlers were encouraged by the colonial government to "promote infighting" as a means of protecting the colonies. In 1713, government policy targeting indigenous groups who used guns against the settlers was introduced. This resulted in the removal of indigenous children from their families and communities so as to disconnect them from their culture and help to assimilate them into Neviran culture. This policy remained well into the 19th century and over its course more than 100,000 indigenous children were placed into state-operated boarding schools.
