Itsaygahi is the only civilisation on the North American continent to survive unmolested by any colonial power, and indeed is a colonial power in and of itself. With humble beginnings in a tribal feudal age of disease and pacts between chieftains, Itsaygahi has grown to dominate the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers (known to them as the Ohayo and Mixxixxippi) and is home to many Native American ethnic groups. It has a colony in Africa and Europe as well as a vassal in Europe. For much of its history it has been a Kingdom, but a Civil War in the 18th century overthrew the monarchy and established a princely republic. Since then radical ideas have emerged from that chaos, ideas which threaten the current status quo both within Itsaygahi and around the world.
