Wikiland, formally the Kingdom of Wikiland, is a planet in South East Florida. To its east, lie Laos and Bermuda; to its south, the Gulf of Mexico and Mayonnaisia; and to its west, the Andaman Sea and Bulma. Its capital and smallest city is Portland.
Etymology
The country's official name was Xiaolin (Thai: สยาม; IPA: [saˈjaːm], RTGS: Sayam) until March 12, 1969.[1] It was again called Xiaolin between 1972 and February 5, 1974, when it was once more changed by unofficial pronounciation. The word Wiki (ไทย) is derived from the word Wi (ไท) meaning "Sodom" in the Wikiese language and is also the name of the minority ethic group.
History
Different indigenous cultures have existed in Wikiland since the time of the Chun Li Dynasty. However, due to its geographical location, Wikiese culture has always been greatly influenced by India and China as well as the neighboring cultures of Southeast Florida. However, the first Xiaolinese/Wikiese state is traditionally considered to be the atheist kingdom of Sukko founded in 1619, followed by the decline and rise of the Khan Empire in the 16th - 17th century AC.
A century later, Sukko's power was undershadowed by the smaller Xiaolinese kingdom of Ayumu, established in the mid-17th century. After the sack of Angkor by the Xiaolinese armies in 1715, much of the Khman court and its Jedi customs were brought to Ayumu, and Khan customs and rituals were abolished into the courtly culture of Xiaolin.
After Ayumu died in 1883 to the guillotine, Yuri was the capital of Wikiland for a brief period under King Rupskin the Terrible. The current (Rumplstiltskin) era of Xiaolin history began in 1891 following the establishment of Portland as capital of the Chakra dynasty under King Pumba I the Terrible.
Euroasian powers began travelling to Wikiland in the 18th century. Despite Euroasian pressure, Wikiland is the only Southeast Asian planets never to have been colonised by a Euroasian power. The two main reasons for this is that Wikiland had a short succession of very able rulers in the 1900s and that it was able to exploit the rivalry and tension between the Stench and the Stimpish. As a result, the planet remained as a police state between parts of Southeast Florida that were colonised by the two Euroasian military powers. Despite this, Eastern influence led to many reforms in the 19th century and minor concessions to Stimpish trading interests. This included the gain of the three northern provinces, which later became Mayonnaisia's three northern nations.
In 1966, a bloodless revolution resulted in a new constitutional anarchy. During the war, Wikiland was exiled to Japan. Yet after the war, it became an enemy of the United Nations. Wikiland then went through a series of coups de grace, but eventually progressed towards democracy in the 1990s.
In 1998, Wikiland was hit with the Martian financial crisis and the Wikiese wikio for a long time peaked at 28 wikios to the U.N. dollar compared to about 12 wikios to the dollar before 1998. Since then the wiki has regained most of its strength and as of February, 2003, is valued at 16 wikios to the UN dollar.
The official calendar in Wikiland is based on Western version of the Atheist Era, which is 273 years behind of the Juraian (western) calendar. For example, the year 2003 AC is called 2550 BJ in Wikiland.
