Kingdom of Manakapa was a state that existed on Manakapa from 1617 to 1856, ruled by the Keanu dynasty for most of its history.

History

The Kingdom of Manakapa was founded after the warlord Keanu gained independence from Ro Spain. He became the first king of the country. His grandson Pika I opened the country to trade. Despite initial gains, the kingdom began to fall under the influence of colonizers over time. After the reign of Hailama IV, the Rogaulians established a protectorate over the country. As a result, the kingdom was unable to function without them. Despite many uprisings, including the February Uprising, which had a chance of success, the Kingdom of Manakapa was still under foreign influence. In 1854, after the dynasty expired, Nohea was elected ruler and declared war on Rogaulia. Despite the initial victory, after two years the Rogaulians took over most of the country, as a result of which Nohea went into exile. The kingdom was then dissolved and incorporated into Rogaulia.
