Fueled by a dynamic blend of traditional and emerging industries, Boriquén boasts a robust and rapidly growing economy. The region is a thriving hub for manufacturing, with sectors spanning from machinery and electronics to textiles and food products contributing significantly to its industrial output. This is further bolstered by the area's natural abundance of raw materials, particularly in metals and minerals, lending strength to its burgeoning mining sector. In the verdant plains and fertile highlands, agriculture plays a pivotal role in the regional economy. The agricultural landscape of Boriquén is richly diverse, producing an array of crops that include rice, quinoa, sugar cane, cacao, vegetables, and fruits, as well as supporting livestock farming. This agricultural productivity not only sustains local food markets and associated agro-based industries but also contributes to the region's export trade.

Boriquén, a Region within the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie, is nestled in the verdant southeastern expanses of Keltia, its geographical and cultural uniqueness standing as a testament to its historical significance. The region, spanning vast territories acquired during the transformative Operation Purple Splendor, is home to a diverse population of 15,337,602 residents as of 1718 AN. The bustling capital city of Hato Rey, celebrated for its vibrant cultural scene and historic landmarks, is the region's largest and most populous city. Its Port is among the largest in the Federation.

In contrast, the city of Guánica, with its deep historical and cultural ties to the indigenous Wakara people, serves as the spiritual heart of the region and its second largest city. Revered as the holiest city in the Yukiyu Atabey faith, Guánica stands as an enduring symbol of the Wakara's rich spiritual heritage and the holiest site in Yukiyeyismo. Boriquén's official admission into the Federation in 1718 AN came in the wake of the pivotal ratification and implementation of the Plan de Hato Rey and the Boriquén Admission Act, 1718, solidifying its status within the nation's political and cultural landscape.

Boriquén's history is etched in the annals of time, with archeological evidence revealing a tapestry of indigenous Keltian societies who called the region home thousands of years ago. Of these societies, the resilient Wakara people emerged as a dominant culture, their legacy still resonant in the region's cultural milieu. The tapestry of Boriquén's history is woven with threads of empires, kingdoms, and nations that rose and fell over the centuries. It remained largely unrecognized or subjugated by other Micran countries, and never acquired official recognition from the Micras Cartography Society throughout most of its history. Previously considered part of the vast Keltian Green, Boriquén stood at the crossroads of many historical shifts, cultural exchanges, and conflicts around Lake Cherusken, which shapes the region and is its lifeline.

Etymology

The word "Boriquén" (Borikén) comes from the Wakara language, meaning "Land of the Valiant and Noble Lord". The name comes from the creationist myth of the Yukiyeyismo faith, which is the predominant religion among the Wakara people. Atabey and Yukiyu, the central deities of Yukiyeyismo danced in the cosmic sea, their movements creating ripples and waves. From their dance, the first continents and islands emerged, the first being named Borikén by Atabey, consecrating them as the lands that would become the home of the Wakara people. The word Borikén was later martinized into Boriquén.

The current regional government of Boriquén was established in 1719 AN, after the passage of the Boriquén Admission Act, 1718 and the ratification of the Plan de Hato Rey. All governmental powers are delegated by the Proclamation of Punta Santiago and the Cortes Federales of Nouvelle Alexandrie, with the head of state being the King of Nouvelle Alexandrie. The current regional Constitution was adopted in 1720 AN. The official Wakara name of the regional government is Areyto Boriquén.

Regional government

The Areyto Boriquén is composed of three branches, established by its regional Constitution and in compliance with the Regional and Local Government Organization Act, 1699. The executive is headed by a directly elected Regional Governor of Boriquén, currently Ana Yuisa Caguax of the Wakara People's Party (WPP) since 1723 AN. The legislative branch consists of the unicameral Areyto Legislativo de Boriquén. The Areyto Legislativo presided by the Taino of the Areyto Legislativo, who is currently the Prince of Boriquén, Guarionex II, since 1723 AN. The regional governor and the nitainos are popularly elected every 5 years, with the last election held in 1729. The judicial branch consists of the Tribunal de los Bohiques (Bohique Tribunals), headed by the Bohique Supremo Guacamarí Yarimar. The judges, or bohiques, are appointed to the Tribunals by the King after the Regional Governor and legal professionals in the region nominate them and the Areyto Legislativo confirm them.

Executive

The executive branch of the Areyto Boriquén, consisting of the Regional Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and various secretaries overseeing different departments, forms the Consejo Ejecutivo de Areito Boriquén (Executive Council of Areito Boriquén). The Consejo Ejecutivo is appointed by the Regional Governor at the start of his term and confirmed by the Areyto Legislativo. The Consejo is pivotal in implementing the laws passed by the Areyto Legislativo, managing day-to-day governance of the regional government, and formulating policy for the region of Boriquén.

Legislative

The legislature of the Areyto Boriquén is the unicameral Areyto Legislativo de Boriquén. It has 425 members, called Nitainos. The Taino of the Areyto Legislativo presides over the Areyto Legislativo, elected at the start of every legislative term and can be someone who is not a Nitaino. The Regional Governor can summon the Areyto Legislativo for special sessions, usually reserved for legislation deemed critical for the conduct of regional affairs or the welfare of the people. The Taino also has the power to call the Areyto Legislativo for special sessions as well, but this must be only at the request of two-thirds of the members of the Areyto Legislativo.

Judicial

The judiciary of the Areyto Boriquén is composed of the the Tribunal de los Bohiques (Tribunals of the Bohiques) as the highest regional court, the Boriquén Court of Appeals as the immediate appellate court, the cacicazgo courts and the yucayeque courts as the two primary trial courts, and several other administrative and special courts, as established by the regional constitution and laws. Judges are known as bohiques in Boriquén. All bohiques in the Areyto Boriquén are appointed to office by the King of Nouvelle Alexandrie, after the Regional Governor and legal professionals in the region nominate them and the Areyto Legislativo confirms them. The Tribunals administers all the courts.

The Tribunal de los Bohiques is composed of the Bohique Supremo and eight other Bohiques Magistrados (Associate Bohiques). The Boriquén Court of Appeals hears all appeals from the circuit courts and, in some cases, directly from the probate courts. Bohiques serve in panels together and decisions are binding regionally. Cases are heard by the Court of Appeals by panels of three judges, who examine the application of the law and not the facts of the case, unless there has been grievous error pertaining to questions of fact.

The cacicazgo courts hear the more serious criminal cases in Boriquén. In addition, they are the appellate court for cases heard in the smaller yucayeque courts. There are 6 cacicazgo courts for each one of the 6 states of Boriquén. Cacicazgo courts have appellate jurisdiction from yucayeque courts and other administrative and special courts courts, as well as from decisions and decrees of regional agencies.

The yucayeque courts hear cases involving less serious criminal offenses, with each municipality (yucayeque) within a state in Boriquén having one. If populations are sparse in some yucayeques, joint yucayeque courts are instituted. Yucayeque courts are trial courts of limited jurisdiction, handling most traffic violations, small claims, misdemeanors, and small civil suits. Yucayeque courts are often responsible for handling the preliminary examination and for setting bail in felony cases.

Subdivisions

Boriquén is subdivided into 6 states, known as cacicazgos. They are Hato Rey, Loíza, Yayael, Yabucoa, Cemi, and Guaybanex. Each cacicazgo is composed of municipalities called yucayeques. There is only one Special City in Boriquén, the city of Guánica, which is the seat of the cacicazgo of Cemi.
