The Bayou Sector, also known as Louisiana Sector, is an Geographical sector which refers to micronations which have land in Louisiana. The sector was informally established by Andrew I on 20 January 2021. Most nations in the Bayou sector were connected, with the foundation of the United Carolusian Conference, Ela'r'oech, Lateritia and Naga have all been in contact with the Heads of State in each micronation having met, talked to each other, as well as had micronational meetings. The vast majority of the sector speaks English, but minorities speak Pontunian, Dangaro, and French. Pontunia and Ela'r'oech are Catholic States, while the rest are Secular States. Eventually, all micronations in the Bayou Sector merged into the United Kingdom of the Great Bayou. The Great Bayou would collapse in early 2022, leading many of the micronations which were apart of it to become independent again.
Etymology
The Bayou Sector is Named after the term Bayou, a marshy lake or wetland or a creek whose current reverses daily due to tides, and which contains brackish water highly conducive to fish life and plankton. Bayous are commonly found in the Gulf Coast region of the southern United States, notably the Mississippi River Delta, with the states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas being famous for them.
History
Andrew Perdomo began the sector in January 2021, however it began to grow and get traction in November of that year, with the founding of the micronations Lateritia and Naga in a short period of time it was easy for Ela'r'oech to begin engaging in foreign relations. The three nations have been in contact since their foundings with the only exception being the oldest by far of Ela'r'oech.
The Sector has had a history of conflict and disputes, with most of the instability centered on Ela’r’oech.
Micronations
Ela'r'oech
The Empire of Ela'r'oech (sometimes spelled as Ela'r'œch or Ela'r'oech Abroad when referring to any specific realm excluding the Kingdom of the Greater Elarian State) is an autonomous territorial entity claiming to be a sovereign state, often classified as a micronation by external observers. Founded in 2018 by Charles Madgett, the Empire consists of territory in the states of Louisiana, Washington, Florida, and Texas. It is an enclave and exclave micronation. Following a 2020 legislation and vote, the founding of the nations of Kakato and the First Artillery were officially recognized as the founding and establishments of Ela'r'oech as well, as they were precursors to the Empire.
Following the Alarian Wars, the Kingdom has grown in size considerably - after annexing Neo-Alaria and taking numerous pieces of land from Alaria - with claims from the Alarian War depicted in cyan blue and those from the Third Alarian War in purple in earlier maps, notably by Nicholas Lokin. Ela'r'oech is the birthplace of Carolusianism, a political ideology with Charles at its center. It is also the most influential and powerful nation in the League of Elarian Nations, of which it was a founding member. On 28 March 2021, Ela'r'oech overhauled it's political system almost entirely along with their main way of progression. In July 2022, Ela'r'oech would become part of the short lived United Kingdom of the Great Bayou, before leaving in August 2022 though keeping their government systems.
Pontunia
Pontunia, officially the Kingdom of Pontchartrain-Maurepas, is an independent micronation that amicably seceded from the Austenasian Crown Dependency of New Pontunia in February 2021. It is comprised of various residential properties and two public parks declared independent from Metairie, Louisiana under the leadership of King Andrew I.
Alaria
Alaria is a nation that was started on October 30, 2019. It majorly came to light as a micronation during the Alarian War against Ela'r'oech where it lost 90% of it's land. It was also later after prominent as a belligerent in the Second Alarian War and afterwards was taken into the LENS and became an ally. Later, in early 2021, the nation was taken over by extremists and threw itself into the Third Alarian War and later became occupied by Ela'r'oech.
Naga
Naga is an autonomous territorial entity claiming to be a sovereign state, often classified as a micronation by external observers. It was founded on 4 November 2021 by the Dragon King. Naga was made in response to the Ela'r'oech Monarchy Power Dispute as a Carolusian nation. Already it has started foreign relations with Ela'r'oech and is also an ally of Lateritia as the Dragon King is also someone who goes to Charles Madgett's school. Due to it's location, it is in the Bayou Sector and due to it's constitution, it is inherently an Ela'r'oech allied nation and deems itself "Carolusian." It is still developing.
Lateritia
Lateritia is an autonomous territorial entity claiming to be a sovereign state, often classified as a micronation by external observers. It was founded by Queen Cam in response to the Ela'r'oech Monarchy Power Dispute and Charles Madgett teaching classmates about micronationalism. Due to it's location, it is in the Bayou Sector and due to it's constitution, it is inherently an Ela'r'oech allied nation and deems itself "Carolusian." It officially declared it's flag on 4 November 2021 as it was designed by Cam of Lateritia and Charles Madgett.
Significance
MicroWiki sector influence
It has not really had much MicroWiki sector influence, as Ela'r'oech declared it will no longer be engaging with the sector, however since then has stated that it may work towards it. Ela'r'oech has expressed interest in becoming a member state of the Cupertino Alliance. Pontunia is a member state of the Cupertino Alliance, and the Micronational Assembly.
Intermicronational influence
It has influence among other southern sectors, specifically the Houston sector where the Ela'r'oech Monarchy Power Dispute technically took place partially, due to Ela'r'oech's Texas land. However, the influence among newer micronations is quite large.
