Sialeh

Sialeh ( IPA: [siːʌleɪ] ) (Jaliyan: سيالاويني romanized: Sialawini), officially the Republic of Sialeh (Jaliyan: سيالاويني جوتاهكت romanized: Sialawini Jutahkt), is a country in the Kadersaryinan Islands of North America. It shares a border with Kosamsahiail to the southwest, and maritime borders with Hykratarnoir, Jaliya, and Pozry to the to the west. Sialeh's capital and largest city is Onnodiyya, while other major cities include Faujubat, Mon'yii, Tehrastan, and Hardu.

The territory now known as Sialeh would be controlled by many indigenous nations, especially the Emirate of Jaliya, Kingdom of Tashein, and Chiefdom of Ngo. Sialeh was originally colonized by Spain before being sold to a joint French-Ottoman colony in 1625. It remained under French control until 1825, in which it gained independence as the First Republic of Lemongo. In 1945, the Jaliyans gained independence from Lemongo and proceeded to exist as one of the largest nations of the eastern Kadersaryinan Islands until 1969, in which Sialeh became independent.

Prehistory - 1512: Prehistoric Sialeh
Prior to colonization, Sialeh was occupied by the Kingdom of Jaliya, which adopted Islam in the 1600s. The kingdom collapsed in 1790 after French occupation.

1512 - 1835: French occupation
French colonization claimed the territory to be French, however the original population stayed, and mixed in with French settlers and Creoles. At the start of the 1800s, the Creole population was roughly five to six hundred, growing over time until settling to some 1,000 people in the 1860s.
