The Shoshone Empire leads the world in its exploration and providing power against the barbarians, although this role is becoming more of one for France following its victory against the Venetians and its subsequent conquest. The Empire is also noteworthy because its population is the happiest in the world, especially due to France slowly falling to rebellion in its conquered territory of Sandland following Venice's annexation into France.
Founded in 4000 BC by Chief Sjin, its Eternal Leader, the Empire began a slow expansion across the southwestern parts of Pangaea, as it focused its resources on battling the barbarians to the north instead, to much success. The Empire was plagued by the problem of the government taking too long to choose names for its cities, and despite suggestions from France and Venice, it took a while for the capital Mango Peepee to be renamed from Moson Kahni. Fishswim Bigsea also had a similar situation.
When Holy Frenchism began spreading towards the country shortly after its founding, the Shoshone attempted to resist its spread, citing the Holy Frenchism "is a desert religion for desert people, and we [the Shoshone] are not a desert people." This prompted the nation to assist Venice in its protracted struggle against France during the Franco-Venetian War, despite the already strained relations between the two from the settlement of Novenice Dogesu, and the ensuing refugee crisis when massive hordes of Venetian civilians left Sandland for more fertile lands, primarily the Shoshone capital of Mango Peepee. However, it would not be enough. When Venice fell, the Shoshone conceded to France's advantage and announced their adoption of Holy Frenchism instead of continued resistance against the French.
