The Democratic Republic of Santiago is a country.

History
The Democratic Republic of Santiago was first inhabited by humans in 16,000 BC. The people were hunter-gatherers at first, they mostly lived alone, not in a greater society. There tools were made of wood from the local trees as well as stones. Average lifespan was around 40 years old, clothing was from the hides of animals, meat was from the muscles of animals and leaves were used as jewelry. By 3,500 BC (5,700 years before present) copper had replaced stone, by 3,000 BC (5,000 years before present) farming had replaced hunter-gathering in the north and bronze was used, by 2,000 BC they invented the worlds oldest religion (Zakashmar), but the last Zakashmaris vanished around the first century AD. In 1,500 BC (3,500 years ago) the Arantoni tribe massacres the other tribes to gain supremacy. In 1,400 BC the first ever named pet (Sasomi) was adopted. In 1,300 BC the Arantoni discover the wheel. In 1,200 BC the Arantoni discover iron. In 1,100 BC the first government in the Western Hemisphere is established (Arantoni confederacy) But around 1,000 BC (3,000 years ago) the Arantoni get massacred. They were now 20% of the size they were before and the confederacy was disestablished but they survived as a minor tribe, and their inventions were inherited and used again by the Wanoti tribe. In 900 BC the first written language in the Western Hemisphere is invented (Wanoti) however writing had already existed in Mesopotamia for 4,600 years prior. In 800 BC Santiagoans (then called Wanoti) started using ships to travel around which allowed them to travel to other lands and regions. In 700 BC after the Wanoti were wiped out by disease (COVID-ANCIENT) the Dapomani began to replace them, they established the Dapomani confederacy, a revival of the confederacy that disappeared 300 years prior. In circa 600 BC the Olmecs and the Dapomani fought, the war decimated the Olmecs combined with drought. In 500 BC the Santiagoans were the first in the Western Hemisphere to invent music. The Santiagoan national anthem still to this day is based on this millenia-old first music. In 400 BC the first leader of the country was crowned king (tapo in Dapomani), his name was Sacalema I. In circa 300 BC the famed war leader Polano the Great invaded swaths of what is now French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Hondarus, Guatemala, Belize and the Yucatan. Around 200 BC the Kingdom of Dapomani began using currency. The currency used was made of silver and called taro (not to be confused with the food called taro). In 100 BC the Dapomani reached the modern US east coast and established the Kingdom of Americo, consisting of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, DC, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, India, Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Labrador and Newfoundland.
