The '''Poccasin Federation'''{{efn|[[w:Help:IPA/English|/ˈpɒkəsɪn/]], ''[[w:Help:Pronunciation respelling key|PO-kə-sin]]''; [[Bemé]]: ''Pukashinyeh'' | The '''Poccasin Federation'''{{efn|[[w:Help:IPA/English|/ˈpɒkəsɪn/]], ''[[w:Help:Pronunciation respelling key|PO-kə-sin]]''; [[Bemé]]: ''Bemeh Pukashinyeh'' {{bm-ipa|bemɛ pukaʃiɲɛ}}}}{{efn|[[Ketaserang]]: }} is an [[w:Archipelagic nation|archipelagic]] and [[w:Island country|island country]] within the Poccasin Archipelago. It contains PLACEHOLDER% of the archipelago's land area and PLACEHOLDER% of the population, and comprises more than 8,500 islands, cays and inlets of the Poccasin Sea. The capital and largest city is Cassim Po, on the island of Kabao. | ||
The Poccasin Archipelago was inhabited for thousands of years by various different indigenous groups, including the Bemung, [[Ketaserang|Nyé-Seru]] and [[Neng La]] peoples, with Malaccan and other Malay trade flourishing in the 1400s, until the Portuguese set up a colony in Cassim Po in the 1500s. Cassim Po was initially abandoned, then re-established by the British, who by the 1800s had turned the small ghost town into a thriving port, with a large population, which eventually lead to mingling between European colonists and the native [[Kabao]] population, creating a unique creole culture that would develop what would eventually become [[Poccasin English]] and [[Bemé]]. | |||
The success of Cassim Po led to a renewed fervour of European interest in the Poccasins for the next 150 years, leading to the establishment of colonies such as Midouz ([[w:France|France]]), José Antonio ([[w:Spain|Spain]]; now Sulakrang), São Jorge e Paulo ([[w:Portugal|Portugal]]; now [[Columbé|Columban]]) | |||
