History

Awenativia

- Pre-Migration (11,991 BCE - 600s)

Throughout the Tizotatan peninsula, as well as the entirety of the island group, fossilized remains of a separate member of the Genus Homo species have been discovered in many areas of the island. Named Homo Remus (translated, 'Oar man'), with the remains dating as far as 150,000 to 60,000 years ago, early studiers were amazed by the similarities between them and homo erectus. But, with the findings of buried remnants of what was believed to be oars, it was theorized that they may have been some of the earliest seafarers, sailing around the island.

However, in more recent discoveries, homo erectus have been found along the shorelines of the New Settleland and the Ningen Islands between the 1970s and 80s. Furthermore, with skeletons of homo erectus being found in the frozen caves and caverns of the Collus mountains, as well as being buried in the Rio Salvaje jungle, they became known as the Colliseis men (Col-lis-see-is). Leading to the idea of erectus sailing to the island between the first homo remus bones and the point where human migration first ended in far east Asian. Although, the Colliseis man is now declassified as homo erectus.

Modern humans crossed over the southern Pacific during the last of human migration around the globe, between 30,000 - 25,000 years age, as early as the upper Paleolithic age, in the northeastern side of the Collus mountain system. The nomadic people who populated the land were known as the Stone Age InQuan people. Using primitive boats, they sailed from the north, through to the northern side of the island. Theoretical belief is that they sailed from southeastern China, and even Japan, with many pointing to the rooted similarities in linguistic and cultural lifestyles among the people.

Common belief and evidence add the theory that the nomadic Awenativian people parted off of the Paleo-Indianmigration, somewhere in present-day western Siberia, and traveled over sea and ocean to the southern hemisphere. It is believed that they followed the whales and pleistocene megafauna. While, the time and dates are very rough and debated upon, most scholars agree on the overall theory. And, InQuan oral tales speak of great tsunamis and waves that brought them from "far off land to the north, through the great waters and islands".

As well, most speculate that the InQuans weren't the only to have inhabited ancient Awekia. Much artwork and tools have led studies to believe that numerous Polynesian nomads have discovered and moved to the islands, as well as even central/southern Amerindians (Inca). Various canoes and stones carvings have dated as far back as 14,000 BCE, leading some to even came that southeast Asians have even migrated to the islands.

Impedian Age

Until 23,000 years ago, Awekia and Questrio were conjoined together. And by 9,000 years ago, a small river was all that divided them. Leaving the Tizotatan peninsula separated to itself, the nomadic tribe soon grew and separated in a few different tribes that migrated around the mainland. The InQuan people moved into the central forest range for better food and weather. In this migration, the Tizo people were born. Soon, with the founding of their rainforest-based civilization, the great Tizoc nation would dawn. The Tizoc people would engulf the open forest and central valley, in by 11,000 CE. Forming an empire, they created most of the culture and central society of Awenativian life. Two cities would be built in their time, Tizo'hemaca to the east and Zodicea to the west. Though, because of their vast size the western size of the empire would soon evolve into it's own kingdom. The Zodiceak people continued controlling the central wetlands of Awekia, as they focused the entirety of their society of Zodiceak mythology.

In that time, two Polynesian migrant groups would move to the island. The Ningens to the south and the Hwajenii to the far west. While specifics are unknown, the Ningen people are believed to have sailed to the southeastern islands before the Tizo nation formed. As a group of fishing tribes, they poulated the larger islands in the Caribe island system, and eventually created the Ningen empire. Monopolizing the waters of the bays, they built their nation off of trade and conquering lesser tribes. The Hwajenii, on the other hand, landed in the western shoreline of the Calida rainforest. And, relatively without contact from the other native groups, they created their kingdom out of population of the forest.

With those five nations, many smaller tribes and groups developed around them. Though, between the bronze and iron age, the continent was mostly controlled by the Tizoc and Ningen people who divided the eastern side of the peninsula by its inland and coastal region. In the span of 500 years, the two nomadic nations that branched off of the InQuan people were now within a few dynasties of rich history. The Rio Salvaje was home to the Emok and Chewdakka tribes, and the wet lands bared the Texjaran people. As well, it is believed that there were over a few hundred different tribes. But, it is believed that there were over a hundred different tribes in the peninsula, by the time the Settlers arrived.

- Prehistoric Awenativian

The earliest firm evidence of human habitation is of early Upper Paleolithichunter-gatherers from 40,000 years ago, when Awekia and the Questrian island began to separate. Edge-ground axes dating to 32–38,000 years ago, found in 224 sites in Honzhu and Kyizhi, are unlike anything found in neighbouring areas of continental Asia and America, and have been proposed as evidence for the first Homo sapiens in Awekia; watercraft appear to have been in use in this period, much similar to the first watercraft in Japan.

It's thought that the first humans arrived to Awekia because of the Ice Age that froze over most of the northern hemisphere, causing life in Asia to move further to the south of the continent. Because of this, early migrants sailed south for a home that was not as cold and dry. Because of the lower sea levels, from the frozen north, it is believed that canoes are the vessels they travelled in. And, in that reason, the first nomads arrived on the island, in the north.

Furthermore, recent studies estimate that mankind had actually arrived in Chile around 20 to 18,500 years ago. One of the reasoning for this is the early connection between Awenativian nomads in the southern islands and early inhabitants of South America. After amerindians arrived in the Andes mountain range of the western side of South America. Some of theses tribes traveled what is now lower Chile, taking to rafts, they landed in the island-chain around Awenativia, between the 1900s.

- Inku Period (1900 - 1750 BCE)

The period between 1900 BCE and 1100 BCE is referred to as the Inku period. Starting with the development of the settlements of the nomadic InQuan nation, this period begins once they form their tribe. Living in the northern mountain range of the island, they lived on a mostly pescetarians diet, along the Sceewittchen sea. Building long hall-like homes out of thick elm bark, over a slightly dug hole in the ground, these houses were called 'Inku'. With the development of Awenativian carvings and totems in this period, Zodiciak myth and Awekian culture begins here. Furthermore, the 'Temples of Mt. Bud' were constructed in this time, between the late 20th and 19th century BCE, as a series of monuments for worship.

Near the end of the 19th century, InQua was a large span of many clans of Awenativians spread across the cold desert mountain range. Two of these tribes eventually moved south into the rest of Awenativia. These two tribes were the Tizoc and Ningen nations, who both migrated in their individual areas. While it is unknown when they began to move south, it is known that the Ningen left the mountains first. In a unknown exile from the nation, they took back to canoes, in search of a new home. However, they did not travel far away from their ancestors, sailing a few thousand miles south to the Carabe island. Landing in what would become the Hinode Toji, studies dated the earliest settlement between 1790 and the 1740s. Still living on a pescetarian diet, they hunted whales and large fish for their tribe. While agriculture was later brought to the island, they were mostly hunters and fishers. Staying in small camps along the beaches, they build the same Inku houses as the InQuan people.

Although, the more important step in Awenativian history came from the Tizoc, who crossed over the Springfield hills. Settling in the central rainforest below, they formed their early civilization off of the discovery of agriculture in the valleys of the northern Berry fields. This act would merge into the Tizoc period of history.

- Azmaic Period (1750 - 1500 BCE)

La Goona quipi-weeved canoes

It is thought that the first societies of the southern portion of the island, Questria, were brought to Awenativia byway of reed longboats (a tradition that is still orally followed by the La Goona Iles). Without written directions, it is that believed they arrived off the shores of southern Peru, likely of some relation to the Norte Chico civilization. Bringing canoe boats full of squash, beans, lúcuma, guava, pacay (Inga feuillei), and sweet potato, they as well brought with them the idea of cotton working and a theocratic government system, which Questria would popularly adapt as their own.

Bringing their own early agriculture with them, they ended up in the La Goona Iles and the Questrian islands groups. Starting settlements among the hills of the grassy plains in western Awenativia, the domestication of llamas and goats happened in this time, while avocados, achira, vicunas, guanacos, and alpacas were found planted as far back as 1100 BCE. Dig sites have located fishing nets and harpoons, much similar to the ones used by the early Ningen people; leading scholars to suspect that they quickly built trade connections with the people of the central seas.

The La Goona people started their society along the coastline, and began hunting fish and aquatic animals along the rivers of the Calide rainforest. Though many of these voyages traveled along the islands of Awenativia's western coastline, the people never touched the northern mainland, keeping away from the thick rocky Calide rainforest, spending all of their time on the smaller islands. Instead, the nomads from the north would be the first to set foot on the island around this time, in the northernmost end of the mainlands.

Opafar would be one of the oldest cities in the area, and one of the few that survived. With the Wazayi tribe slowly growing off of the La Goona people, discovering and building mining yards into subterranean ponds, where they would find gold and bronze as well as , they would grow into an important civilization in the immediate area. Furthermore, ancient sites of black limestone temples was found in the Questrian rainforest, dating back to this period.

- Tizoc Period (1750 - 1100 BCE)

The Tizoc period is named after the people who lived along the outer side of the Springfield Hills, they were a more adaptive group, compared to the InQuan nation. They began exploring the region to the south of them, the Tizoc people were far more advanced from the Ningens who left decades earlier. Travelling on foot, they brought domesticated chickens (red jungle fowls) and cattle with them. While it is believed that they had knowledge of wheels and wheel-driven technology, they instead used dogs, lamas, and yaks to help, as they found their way into the rainforest. Thick and lush, they settled in the northeastern side of the region, engineering walls and forts to keep out predators and dangers. And one of the most important reasons for this what their development of agriculture. Since the jungle was too dangerous for their hunter-gatherer roots, they instead turned to planting and cropping fruits and vegetables. With the majority of their diet being vegetarian, they didn't fully cut away from their fish hunting past, as well as chickens and cows.

During this time, they would start engineering a new type of housing. Structuring their wooden cabins around trees, they would develop two-to-three storey round houses to home entire families. As well as pueblo-like constructs, they lived in the upper layers of the forest. Along with agriculture, they would discover mining, with iron and browns being among the first of their metal finding (stepping forward from the stone and wood of the InQuan people). With gold and jewels coming next, they soon started to grow rich in the dawn of the first few Dynasties of chiefs. As the first remnants of the Awenativia class system formed, the Tizoc nation became the first monarchy of the country.

- Nebu Period (1500 - 1100 BCE)

Meanwhile, numerous miles to the western end of the island, the Hwajenii nation forged itself. With testing leading to the Maori of New Zealand (more than 5000 kms to the west) and even ancient Hawaiians as the ancestors, the Hwajenii nation started as a group of tribes in the jungles. Having arrived by 1500 BCE, they were spanning across the western regions by the late 10th century. With tribes stretching from Mt. Theronus to La Goona, they soon developed into a series of conjoined nations. With the people of the La Goona area uniting against the Ningen people (to which, their were many disputes), to the massive reaching Hwajenii nation to the Calide rainforest, these people were unknown until the 1000s.

However, this period was also more known for the foundation of the city of Khamoana, southwestern. Formed by a nomadic group of merchants, it was a major trading hub in the early stages of the period. Believed to have been founded in the 7th century, it known for being the forted port city of southeast Asia. Aided by the travelling of the Khmer empire, it is the first noted sign of horses in Awenativian history. As well, it is the earliest trace of the animal in Oceania. Becoming the trademark of Moanan people (as they were known by), the merchants used the horses to travel and created trade routine on the island. Meeting with both the Texjaran and Zodiceak people, the many innovations that the Moanans would create, would reach the other nations of Awenativia. Such as the construction of roads, Awenativia finally became connected in the mid-10th century.

- Zodicio Period (1100 - 400 BCE)

The short period that dawned the golden age of Awenativian history, this Axial Age period is highly theorized and mixed with myths and folk legend. As written by the Zodiceak text, the southern city of the Tizoc nation was invaded by a warring tribe from the Tall Trees area, between the late 1200s and 1030 BCE. As the rich northern Tizoc city were far safer in their isolated location, their open neighbors to the south were not as protected. They were heavily ravaged for their resources and crops, as the few who escaped fled into the forest. Running to the west, they ended up in the swamps and lagoons of the bayou.

While most of what came is heavily riddled with myths what is known was that the survivors turned to a isolated flourishment of development, reconnecting with the religion of the InQuan, they resurfaced the runes and symbols that the first people used. Studies have found that the bases of the Aewkian language was built in this time period, along with their writing system. Scripts proclaim that the Zodiceak people united the island, founded the Awenativian pantheon, and began organizing missions to the Americas and Asian continent.

In this time period, the Tizoc nation was focussing on renovating their farming systems and interior city. The first roads were constructed of stone and brick, which the island was rich in, and connected safe ways of travel between Zodicea and Tizo'tanka. As well, the InQuan folktales and oral history was documented in archives in northern Tizoc. Uniting into a order of kingdoms, they would form the roots of the Tizoc empire.

Building numerous grand temples and giant stone heads in honor of their gods, the older step pyramids were developed . These monuments would pale in comparison to the construction of the Pyramids of Zodicea, built in the 2th century BCE. The Zodiceak people would study astrology, mathematics, and geography in these temples, to great accuracy.

Living on the river banks around the swamp, they would soon travel and spread the oral messages of the gods. Documenting the many tribes around them (like the Texjaran, Emoks, Najovex, Questrian, and Hwajenii), they created the first few maps and records of Awenativia. And by 1170, they had mapped out the entire island before reconnecting to the Tizoc people. To which, they would merge under the dynasty and tell of the wants of the gods. As the Tizoc people put it, the Zodiceak shamans spoke of the need to build a power civilization to help their gods combat the darkness. Calling the invasion of south Tizoc the 'Deadly Plague', the newly formed empire found and destroyed the tribe who conquered them,centuries prior. Erasing them from history, the Tizoc empire was born, bringing Awenativia out of the Classical age and in the Golden age of imperialism.

Between the years, Zodiceak influence stretched across the island of Awenativia. Around the earlier elements of this period, the religious text of the Zodicio age began to involve gods and deities from father regions of the map. First accounts of the Zodiceak pantheon are mentioned during this age, with the Aewkian language and writing system reached the Questrian and Ningen nations by the end of the 7th century.

It is believed that Pol Geist may have been amongst the many philosophers and minds borns and raised during this age of new enlightenment. He would write his thoughts in scrolls that would become lost to time, before being rediscovered in a hidden mounted tomb in the Kronosianislands.

- Oasbi Period / The Great Exploration (600 BCE - 190 CE)

The first pilgrimage to Japan happened in this period, with the Ningen advancement in longboat construction and innovation. Steered by the practical use of storing resources as well as men, these boats were the first ships of the the island. Records of the time displayed numerous accounts of voyages thereafter, enough to map out and graft the Pacific ocean. Awenativian exploration led them to arrive in Mesoamerica, New Zealand, Indonesia, and Hawaii; even Antarctica was roughly represented in the scripts of the great waters. And because of this, trade routes soon surfaces along the coastline of the southeast asian islands. The water buffalo, chicken, and the horse was invasively brought to Awenativia, where they would be bred and traded upon the greater nations of Tizoc, Zodicea, Ningen, and Questria, making ranching and farming much easier. Documentation of Japanese influence in paddy fields, understanding of iron forging, as the Wakikian nation was developed by the merging cultures of Japanese merchants and Awenativian traders.

Merchants became the primary focus of the tribe, trading gold and gems for animals, crops, and documentation of their advancements. The Moanan people of Khmer would be first mentioned in this period as the horsemen of the southern valleys. Kha'moana would be formed along the coast of the Simi islands. They would bring the spice trade, connecting Awenativia to the route that linked them to India and the Middle East.

Awenativia would continue trading with both Japan and southeast Asia, during this period.

- Jadiox Period (190 - 800) / Classical Age

As philosophy and learning spread across the island, the Zodiceak and Tizoc nation became aware of the growth of the neighboring nations, and feared a struggle for supremacy. Furthermore, with southeast asia starting to demand goods from the island, they worried about the coming of war, if they didn't unite into a powerful nation. With the enlightenment age being ended by the tension between moanan and wakikian tribes, over trading deals, a greater series of battles took place between the nationalistic Questrian and the imperialistic Ningen nations. Between the first century and 220 CE, the Mona'kikin war would debut many weapons and tactics that would spread across the Awenativian culture and influence the Jadixes. Guerilla warfare, arrow flanking from trees, naval river borages, all first used in this the war.

Wealth of the Awenativian people brought many forewarnings from monks and priest alike, as noble classes began to take control their large periods of land. Farmers would contract themselves to families who owned land, since many couldn't purchase land themselves. These families would become aristocrats, and the high-class. Focusing on sports, art, music, and theatre, much of ancient Awenativian culture came after 250 CE, when the war finally ended in Ningen victory. This would shift the islanders away from the bronze age armour and cloth that the southern people used, since the victorious Ningens used far lighter and durable metals like steel or bronze-plated mail. The use of better bows and lighter swords and spears, iron tomahawks and axes would assist them. Soon, the Tizoc, Questrian, and Hwajenii people would follow suit and update their militaries.

The royal guard would be more prominently featured, more than any age before it, as the wealthy nations were often ambushed on trading travels and invaded by forest tribes for goods. Zodicia would instate the nation of Tzian as the chosen emperor of the entire island. A theocracy under the Zodiceak pantheon, they were allied with the Tizoc empire, who protected them.

- Tzasonese Empire (800 - 1080s)

Heavily influenced by the thought that a sole leader could connect the nations of Awenativia into one united people, the Zodiceak monks spread the prophecy that a great kingdom would command that island. And, it would be led by the child of the first Awenativian in Zodiceak myth. To which, the small clan of Tzianese merged along the Springfield hilltops. Small and isolated by the praised mountains that the ancient InQuans lived in, the Shiej of Tzian claimed that his people were the children of InQua, and purely derived from the first men of divinity. Furthermore, pointing to their actually relation to the monks of the holy InQuan, the Zodiceak announced that the Tzasonese were the direct link to the gods, holder of the Tzas (title literally translated as 'the child of the heavenly mothers'), and the chosen rulers of Awenativia.

From the 9th century to the 11th century, Tzian would see a influx of wealth and nourishment from Tizoca, Hwajenii, and Texjara. All seeking favor in national politics, the Tzas position was heavily praised and held to a statue close to the gods. Both the Tzas and his wife, the Quas, were the head of the national Awenativian people. Bringing many of the nations, especially the largest and most powerful one, under his rule, Tzian brought Awenativia out of the Classical age and into the Golden age of imperialism.

- Quiso Tzaro Period (1090s - 1120) / Golden Age

With the Tzasonese empire taking over the influence of the Tizoc empire, from the central swamps to the eastern shorelines, upgraded roads and traveling bridges were built to make trading easier. As neighboring nations and merchant groups moved across the mountainous empire with rich cargo, bands of theives were popular, as who tribes made their living off of robbing the empires. So, the guards of these nations would upgrade, with the arrival of silver forging. New armour and weaponry would be crafted and constructed out of lamellar steel plate mail, and the Jadix class was created. Hired mercenaries at first, became valuable members of the noble family, usually marrying in, once they had the opportunity to. By 835, they were accustomed elements of a large nation, and were the noble class by the end of the 10th century.

The gods had became major factors of theatres, sporting and musical rituals, were they were worshiped through retellings of their deeds and involvement with the people of the island. Gold leaf paper, illuminate manuscripts, gems and jewelry, and fine fabrics like silk and ryline were being used by the high-class and wealthy. Art would take new depths in colour and articism, neo-realism began to mold sculptures, as the united union of nations would grow from small valley city states into large feudal kingdoms, ruled by Shiefs under the Tzasonese Tzar under the gods of their island. The entire island was connected through a advanced message system.

Schools would form, along with advanced market organizations and city formations. Studying or the natural world and social world was commonly taught to young children, teaching them mathematics system of calculating advance numbers and calculations. Business increased in this time, universities and libraries were instituted, and science early was conducted. Infact, revolutionary discoveries in astronomy and medicine was done during this time.

- Kawakuza Period (1126 - 1389)

A minor period mixed between the normal continuity of Awenativian history, this time was important for the Wakikin people. Exiled from the Ningenempire after the Mono'kikin war, ex-citizens would travel to the Kronosianislands and create camps, around the 10th century. The main significance of this clan was that their explorers had traveled to Japan, which is actually where their name comes from. Arriving sometime around the threat of the Mongol Invasion, they studied the feudal development of the Japanese people, and the dawning of the samurai class.

Upon return to Awekia, the explorers and merchant brought back much knowledge. To which, they gained the attention of the rest of the Awenativian people. Steering another reformational influence on the Jadix warriors, who updated their armour, tactics, and tools to eventually defeat the Javanese empire from Indonesia, the Wakikin people continued exploring during the warring age.

- Mayajapaen war (1270 - 1320)

In the midst of the Golden Age of the Quiso Tzaro period, the grown threats of the southeast asian empires were developing into the closing of trading routes, by 1130. Since Awenativian merchant ships had to pass through Indonesia to get to Japan and India, the thalassocratic empire sawt to cut off their main source of income. However, seeing it not work, with the realisation of the Wakikin's new route past Hawaii to Japan and Korea, the Majapahit empire sent a fleet of warships to the island, to force a deal for higher prices.

Mikajya bay, constructed in 1136, was a primary site in the setting of the Mayajapaen war

Hearing of this happening, the Kha'moanas and Questrians began development of a fortified walling barrier, that'll halt the invading army; and the Mikajya Bay was finished in 1136. Seeing this, the rest of the 12th century was highlighted by the emergence of Awenativian castles and forts. Taken from Incan techniques, their walls were crafted out of steam-wielded stones and boulders, to stop invasions.

Fearing the 'great external wars', the nations united before the battle began in the heat of summer, lasting for four months after. While the Majapahit army arrived, the Hwajenii messaged the island of their numbers, with the Ningen and Wakikin navies meeting in La Goona.

Ballistic crossbows (which they had previously gained from the southeast asians) and early catapults, placed at the top of clifftopped forts, they fired upon the ships from above, forcing them to either back away or move in for docking. Within the for months, the La Goona portside cities were burned down in the battle of 1178. But, Awenativia did win the encounter, with sinking of the five warships by the hands of revolutionary naval technology and seafaring tactics.

The victory would lead to a second battle, with 20,000 soldiers brought to Awenativia to invade Questria in 1204, where Mikajya bay would be used. Unprepared in the armour and tactics of the Jadixes, who charged into battle with crossbow horsemen and swordsmen foot troops. Against the less-armoured, cloth and bronze covered, less prepared.....

- Hijolipio Period (1000s - 1400s) / Golden Age

The golden age of pre-Settler Awenativian history, the Hijolipio period was a time of great growth and in the Tizoc and Hwajenii culture. Named after the southern city of Hijolipio (c. 1042), a major trading hub of the early 13th century. Paved in stone bricks and slabs of clay rock, the entire city was constructed around a central palace and many towers. With theatres and ball courts built up, the city catapulted the Hwajenii people into a prominent status is Awenativia. Rivalling the grand city of Tizo'hemaca (c. 950) in the Tizoc empire, these two people groups started the spread of trade routes and goods. Using the maps that the Zodiceak had drawn out, Awenativia experienced a boom of activity and connection, unlike any period before.

Art, pottery, literature, poetry, architecture, goods, and knowledge was stretched out across the larger empires. With the joining of Qunofeti by the Questrians and the capital city of Hinode Toji of the Ningen people, numerous great cities sprung up across the land, each as large and grand as Hijolipio. As the Kokka Genshu Castle and the La Gonna pueblos showed the architectural foresight of the inlanders, many pyramids stretched into the skyline of the forest, in the Tizoc imperial grounds. With gold and jewels riddling the empires with wealth, the class system began to grow and widen out, as Jadix and noblemen started broadening their might. And, unknown to them at the moment, a great battle for power would come, not only between the empires, but between the classes.

- Jadixio Period (1320s - 1458) / Eclipsed Era

As the grand class system grew into a medieval feudalism, the Shiejs started to see their authority tested in the time of the golden age. Most notably in the boiling rivalry of the Hwajenii and Tizoc, both nations experience a rise of wealthy noblemen and military unrest, calling for a dominant takeover of their threat, leading to the first of many wars. In the summer of 1325, a collected group of Jadixes marched into the forest range behind Texjara city and the Battle of Might began. A series of imperial battles that made up a grand war between the two powerful empires, it would be the marking event of the Jadixio age.

Named after the Jadix warrior class of the time, these noblemen were chosen by Zkhowans and shamans to be the destined warriors for their gods. Held to high statuses, they began to convince their own Sheijs into wars over resources, for the needs of their class. As noblemen fought for wealth and riches, many political disputes surfaced in this age.

As silver and iron became more used, with many silver mines being forged, the Questrian and Ningen tribes would forcefully create empires for themselves. As these battles were romanticized by the natives of the inner city, the military creation of Guojjixa utilized jungle warfare and guerrilla tactics to better use the Awenativian landscape as a battleground. Hiding the many atrocities of war, empires like the Ningen nation committed numerous violent acts. Starting with the taking of the Kronosian islands, they eventually commanded all but La Goona, who were allied with the Questrian nation in defence. While the Hwajenii faced many attacks from smaller tribes around them, the Zodiceak managed to stay away from the countless battles that took place in this period. However, a flooding of the swamps, in the fall and winter of 1413, led to the abandoning of Zodicea. With most of its natives moving back to the heart of the Tizoc empire, many did leave for Texjara, Hwajenii, and as far out as Questrian.

And with the fall of Zodicea, the golden age slowed down and eventually ended with state of peace. Brought on by the 'five empire acts', the Tizoc, Questrian, Ningen, Hwajenii, and Texjaran all agreed on a peace treaty, by the 1450s. And, this state of peace and tranquility would continued until the arrival of Europeans.

European Expeditions

- Barcharian nomads (1348 - 15th century)

Between the 13th and 14th century, the Barboss people began migrating out of Greece and away from the growing tension between Christendom and the Islamic kingdoms. As the Serbians took control of the Byzantium between 1331 and 1346, followed by a civil war that ended in the Ottomans overtaking the empire, a exodus happened soon after, with the wealth escaping along the silk road. Little is known of the nomadic group, besides their religious liberalism and artistic romanticism. It is unknown as to where they moved next. But, it is known (through tomb studies) that the nomadic group arrived in ex-Tocharian region of mongolia for half a century before moving south into the Malay region.

Awentivian accounts from the Ningen trading record mention a community of seafaring nomads, bringing two large boats of people over with them in the 1370s.

"They came from China, but were not of it. They have light skin and long wavy hair, some brown and some red. They could not understand Aewkian writings, or the religious elements of our people. When they finally learned to communicate with us, they spoke of coming from a land beyond India and the Muslims."

~ Ningen accounts of the first Europeans on the island

They were said to have settled in the Tall Trees region, making trade with the Ningens, by the 15th century. Little else is mentioned of the tribe, with most accounts stating that they were solitary and reserved for themselves, except for trade.

- The voyage of Giovanni I. and Manciquic Drake (1450 - 1480)

Giovanni I was a diplomat, nobleman, and explorer hired by the Jestor kingdom to trade with the chinese. Spending his early life studying in Constantinople, where he learned the traveling technique of Marco Polo and the eastern expeditions. Salting out the Jestor kingdom, who wanted to align themselves with the chinese in trade, he was hired to meet with the south asian empires as a ambassador of the Italian kingdom. He left Venice in February 1454, traveled through central Europe, Kiev, and Georgia and reached Tabriz in August 1459. In December of 1460, he left southern India by boat, sailing with a band of merchants to Malay. There, he heard stories of the Barcharian tribe of Awenativian.

Upon first sight of Awekia and it people, he wrote.

"Far away from South Asia, the Asians took me to a land where the mountains stretched over the clouds, and the trees were plentiful. I first met with peoples of tall, slender size, they held themselves with high class and nobleness. Speaking a language different from anything known to me, it sounded nothing like the languages I've encountered on the way. They rode horse of braided manes and tails, and lived in stone and brick villas surrounded by tall stone walls. Rich with gems and gold, they were even wealthier in silver and copper, which they wore as armour."

~ Notebook of Giovanni I. (1489)

While there, he was taken to the Barchorian city of Barboss, recording the people and the language. Mentioning that they spoke a Latin-based Greek dialect. He roughly understood the citizens, but recognised their culture. Upon returning to Italy with account of gold and silver in a remote island, he later made a second and third trip with more funding for ships and caravans of trade. Giovanni would be remembered for introducing the knowledge of Awekia to Europe, especially the Jestor kingdom. He would learn the native language, before writing the Royal Tongue, a manuscript to translate Awenativian into Italian, as well as some Latin and Greek.

After Giovanni, the Jestor kingdom sent a ambitious Manciquic Drake to continue trade with Awenativia. From the southeastern french House of Drake, he was tasked with trying to find a mannor of getting to Awekia without going along the silk road, or Giovanni I's route. So, he took three ships and sailed south of Africa in 1477. Vasco la Paola was

Awekian History

- Settlement Era (1493 - 1630)

The second wave of Europeans arrived in the year 1493. Three ships with a total of 500 French, northern Spanish, and British voyagers set sail south of Africa, through the Indian, and into the southeast Asian island, under the leadership of nobleman-turned explorer, Nester Osiris Knight. A former knight-turned-explorer of France, he was an England-born Frenchman of Latin origins. Pleading to the Spanish and French governments of the funding of a voyage to Asia, he planned for a pilgrimage to a new land that would rid them of the Old World religious threats, particularly the Inquisition. Sir Nester promised a fleet full of riches in return, and gained enough funding to pull together three ships of nearly 500 men (including their families). Mostly due to a help of an wealthy aristocratic nobleman, Sir Paul Jest, who had privately displayed his dislike for the religious authority that oppressed the rare Jestist followers. Funding much of it himself, he paid for the three grand ships to be built for the journey. The Hercion, Orcion, and Persion, sent from the ports of Spain, traveled for nearly a full year before finding the islands of Awekia. They landed on the island of Hinode Toji, to the welcoming of the smaller communities of the Ningen nation. But, as a result of the native’s request, the fleet eventually made their way through the Cariabe islands and onto the mainland. Settling in the newly founded city of New Casa, the area was eventually deemed the Settlement District (which is the oldest Awekian city). Named after the settlers that moved into the enhanced forest side of the eastern coast, they named the new found city-state Awekia. However, they would eventually move farther west into the plains, to build a bigger town and agricultural area. They named the new area New Settleland, and considered it to be the nation’s capital.

Taking up new names and identities, they distanced themselves from the old world and its people. Many took up English to further remove them from their Southern European ancestry. With the majority converting to the philosophies of Geistic teachings, taught to them by the Tizoc people, the Settlers used Latin and the ideals of the ancient Greco-Roman people to build their society upon the fruitful thought of the Italian Renaissance and Hellenic Golden Age. Freeing themselves from the stricter Old World religions, they decided to avoid contact with their financial nations of France and Spain.

They made peace with the Tizoc nation that was positioned up the river from them, using religion and culture to further connect the two city-states. And, with further help from the Ningen people, the Settlers learned how to live and crop on the land. In fact, the Tizoc people, who like the Zodiceak before them, had a fond interest in the European settlers. Trade and communication was quickly welcomed. With religious thought, language, agriculture, art, science, and philosophies passing upon them both. The Settlers were influenced heavily by Awenativian understanding of astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. And, the natives aspired to Geistism and the Romantic art.

The island nation regularly trades canoe ships and fish with them, for their advanced weaponry and armor forgery. In fact, the Settlers survived off of trade and bargaining with the native empires. Using the Tizoc River as a trade route with the large native empire, the likes of food and culture would be brought up and down the river, and lead to the flourishing of both civilizations. Awekia would expand north of the river, in what is now western Blairwood. Furthermore, they would move farther into the forest of Tall Trees, founding Awekam City.

- Spanish Arrival

A Spanish fleet of naval ships arrived on the bay of the southwestern side of Awekia, having followed the route of the Settlers. They founded the colony of Rico Bay and began their exploration of the island. They began pursuing wealth in the forest of the western side of the land, eventually leading to the discovery of the Los Dragones desert. There, they did find gold and jewels. However, in their short time, they discovered and have numerous conflicts with the natives. Defeating numerous tribes, they gathered entail on where more gold might be, which eventually led them to the central nation of the Texjaran. More than 50 conquistadors marched through the wetlands and into the territory of the Texjaran people. Finding gems and jewels in the caves around the southern forest areas, they continued exploring the area before being warned by the natives who lived on the land. Unwilling to give up the riches, they attacked the nation of Texjara, in the 'Texjaran Massacre'. Nearly two-thirds of the Texjaran people were killed in the incident. With the fleeing of the natives to the range of the Tizoc empire, the large Awenativian nation grew aware of the Spaniards. And with them, the Awekians did.

In the summer of 1508, the Spanish sent a messenger to meet with the Settlers and their decided ruler, Osiris. This courier informed the Settlers of how displeased the Spanish Empire was with the voyager’s lack of return on their investment. Requesting to annex Awekia as a colony of the empire on the continent, Osiris and his knighted noblemen agreed to refuse their demand and stand for independence. And, with the Awenativian aiding them, having been strongly displeased with the attack on Texjara, the Awekians had more influence to risk a war. So, the Spanish declared war on the city-state in the year of 1509.

Immediately, the empire attacked at the ‘Stand at Fort Water’, with the noble Knights of Osiris holding the army back with guerilla warfare. Since the Awenativians were already trained in amounted warfare, and armoured combat, they maintained a advantage over the Spanish, who were not accustomed to the thich land of the country. Meanwhile, high up in the Tall Trees forest by 1504, Awekam City would be founded as a few small camps for trade between Awekia and the Tizoc nation. After the many invasions of Texjaran land, by the Spanish, the three known indigenous nations would officially ally with the Awekians, to banish the invading empire from their country.

- The Awekio-Spanish War (1510 - 1588) / Awekian Monarchy

Following the first battle at Fort Water, Osiris knew that their small country wouldn't survive a war with the Spanish empire. So, in the fall of 1513, they contacted the French with a declaration of alliance. However, in their wait for a reply, they would be met with the arrival of the exiled Jestors. Fleeing from their ruined kingdom, the House of Jestius fled from Italy with their most loyal soldiers and servants. They landed on the bay of what is now Whitechapel. Originally rejected by the Settlers, who feared an old world monarchy, Osiris held a meeting with the House of Jestius. And in this meeting, the Italian group would be condemned to the beach, where they would live in the small city of Jestiopia, as the Awekians fought the war. However, with many attempts by the Queen Jestor and Princess Olivia, they gradually integrated Jestiopia into the Awekian colony. And with that, and the growing relationship of Osiris and Olivia, they would marry the two in 1515, bringing the Jestor family and monarchy in the Settlement. Afterwards, following the marriage of the two, Awekia became a kingdom by 1516, when the French arrived on the shores of Fort Waters and met the newfound king and queen.

- The Kingsmen, Statesmen Order, and House of Lords

With the Jestors' emergence into power at the dawn of Awekian society, the remainder of their royal guard would become Osiris' knights and protectors, policing his land and training his soldiers. Accepting loyal servants of young age, who were strong and fit, into the class of noblemen, the Jestors allowed the highest of Settler families to join their order of knights. Growing to the size of a few hundred men, they were expertly trained and prepared for the combat of war that was emerging between the Spanish and Awenativians.

The Kingsmen received their first bit of combat in a defensive rebuttal at the Battle of Bog Mountain. Along the hilltops of central Middex, they repelled the Spanish with the guerrilla tactics of the Texjaran rebels and Tizoc Jedixes. Fighting to press the empire away from the eastern side of the island, they were successful after a long fought series of scrimmages in the thick jungles, that saw the Spaniards fall apart to unfamiliar environments. With much victor for the Awekians, the Kingsmen grew further with the addition of Awenativian Jedixes that lost their homes during the Spanish invasions, and would reach nearly 10,000 by the next century.

However, though the Settlers had great faith in their leader, Osiris, the majority didn't trust the royal Jestius. Common thought was that they would leach the nation dry, so in the span between their arrival and 1521, a unknown amount of meetings commenced over a method of protecting the nation from a absolute strength. So, the House of Lords was forged and inside their meeting grounds, they would be guarded by the Statesmen. A series of regional factions of soldiers who were not allowed to join the Kingsmen, and didn't trust the Jestius, they started policing their lower class homelands along the outskirts of the Awekian kingdom. Influencing the views of the commoners, the House of Lords developed into the voice of the commoners, eventually getting the attention of Osiris, who agreed to hold a meeting with the group, too much disarray of the Jestius. And in 1536, he declared the Lords as the representatives of the crown, placed himself in the order under the House of Che'valier, and established the Statesmen as his special police force.

At the wedding of Osiris and Olivia, there were many invited to join. And from across the world, the noble family of the Jest came to attend, with Sir Paul Jest, Olliver Jest the First, Mary Irres Jest, and Scotvjeer Jest all being in attendance. They were even married by a Jest, whom was happy to conjoin two long-separated lines of theirs together under royalty.

Unknown to the Settlers of the time, Osiris was of the Che'valier family, who were related to the aristocratic Jest through numerous separations between the French and England, dating back to Roman empire. A French family who wanted to avoid connection to the line of Jeslios Barbarosius of the ancients. But, upon the royal marriage, the Awekian monarchs attracted the eyes of the Jest family.

The House of Jest was a line of collectors and bankers that acclaimed their fame and fortune in the acquiring of mass importance. Closely linked to dukes and kings across Europe, they were prominently present in England, France, Italy, and the Byzantine empire. And, in 1520, they made their claim to Awekia by reconnecting themselves with the Jestius and Che'valier families. From the time they arrived, the noble aristocrats secretly plated their roots in early Awekian society. Scotvjeer Jest joined the Kingsmen in 1521 and commanded them by 1540, further merging them with the Statesmen by his death in 1568. Olli Jest the First founded Blairwood in 1548, with the Blackchapel region.

Captained by Georgiess Lafyette, the French met in New Settleland, and organized a counterattack against the Spanish. With King Jestor's Kingsmen at the side of Osiris, and the french army organized might, they formed the first army of Awekia. And, by the end of 1540, Georgiess's troops had crossed into the central valleys. Planting a barrier between the Spanish colony of Los Teximo and the Tizoc empire, the French would find their own colony of Le Haven in 1542. One of the reasons for the sudden turn-around was through the assistance of Martino Batista. A spanish messenger who originally sent the word to Awekia, he had stayed in the growing nation of New Settleland. As the French emerged,

Compiling a total of 15,000 troops of Awekio-French soldiers, they ambushed the larger camp of 'El Rico de Grande', and its base of 20,000 Spanish troops. Using the guerrilla tactics of the Awenativians, they took the fort in the 'Bloodbathe of the South', where more than half of both side's men fell. Though, with the help of the Tizoc nation, they took the camp and eventually conquered the area. Led by Osiris II, the young son of King Osiris the Knight, he marched through the northern and central valley striking against empire. Taking back most of the area, they pushed the conquistadors back to the Texjaren territory. And, by the center point of the century, the french had helped Awekia gain control of the central valley. With the help of Martino Batista, the Knightsmen took control of the Middex county.

- The March of Fort Tzian (1577 - 1585)

The Awenativian nations were allied with Awekia out of necessity, fearing Spanish domination. However, the nation-states remained separate from the idea of a union, under anyone other than the Tzar of their gods. Living in the mountainous city of Tzian, the entire native population believed in and followed their emperor. So, the Spanish, French, and Awekians looked towards the swaying of their opinions of many matters. Although, word was released revealing Spain's plans to sack Tzian and take the crown for themselves, forcing a surrender. Fighting their way through the forest, against numerous tribes along the way, the Awekians organized a defence against a Spanish invasion of the royal city. However, public views were nonchalant on the issue, with many Europeans viewing it as a native affair of little concern for them.

But, Osiris II and Scotvjeer Jest and the king of the Tizoc nation saw grave importance in the religious and national hub of the Awenativian world. Having converted to Giestism, the Jest family heavily motivated other houses to join in the defence. Accumulating in the March of Fort Tzian, in 1577, the legendary battle that saw the further uniting of the Tizoc and Ningin to the Settlers. The religious climate helped Awekia's motives in helping Tzian protect itself, with the Jest funding the military's hand. More than the king, the Scotvjeer led 30,000 knights of Statesmen up to Tzian with 50,000 Tizoc and Ningen Jadixes. Against a hundred thousand Spaniard troops, the battle lasted for four days and four nights, with many flash and dash offensive acts from the empire, who were growing aware of the Awenativian fighting style, as well as bloody river battles that saw the natives use cannoned ships for the first time, much of the southwestern end of Tzian was destroyed. But, afterwards, Inzo the Gold, commander of the Ningen fleet of ships, led a offencive attack that choked the Spanish military until the rest of the allied troops could diminish their forces into defeat.

In the rising years after the defensive war of Tzian, Awenativian culture began to flourish in Awekia; particularly religion. The tales of Zodiceak myth and legend started to surface from the epics of Bartholomew Vespucci, Italian Roman Catholic monk who converted to Giestism and began translating their tales into Latin and Italian for the Jest and Jestius families. His four novels (Brajmax, Zodtic Tzar, Dine Tziano'Aw, Natrio Chaox) were taken to the University of Alexandrea, where they have remained, and his translation of the story of Pol Geist captivated the Awekians. By 1538 Bart and his monastery had converted, followed by Scotvjeer and Olli the First of the Jest, Blairwood was named after Blairius in 1548, Osiris and Olivia converted, and the rest of the Che'valier family followed by 1560. The Vespucci's had St. Blairius Cathedral built around the widest open plane of the area, south Blairwood. standing as tall as a four story building, the church beared the architecture of a Gothic age structure. Taking forty years to be completes, it was opened to the public of Awekia by 1576. With a grand main hall that stretches 40ft into the building, the church is a marvel to look at, drawing the attention of .

After the March of Tzian, many of the Jest and Justius noblemen planned on rebuilding the city into a marvel of beauty. Naming it St. Jestor City, after the Italian-Awenativian Jestor Blaeriuz who designed and constructed the new city. Starting in 1589, it was financed by Spartiz Barbaros family, who saw great interest in preserving the history of Tzian. With the development of the Spartiz Villa, he eventually paid for an entire district of museums and monuments to be built.

He even funded the wedding between the daughter of the Tzar and Osiris II. After the death of the heir during the war, the princess needed a husband, and the political advantages aided the choice for Tzian and Awekia to unite. With Awekia engulfing the holy city-state, the Tizoc and Ningen empires signed to United Awenativian Trust Act, becoming vassalized trading colonies of the Grand Awekian Kingdom. Comprised by the Apan'chavejo brothers, a conjoined family of noblemen and aristocrats, who wealth was estimated to stretched back to the golden age of Awenativia. They stressed the importance of the Tizoc empire being apart of Awekia.

After the gaining of land, Osiris I and his wife would step down, handing the crown to Osiris II, the Wolfhart. In 1548, Awekia formed a agreement with the French colony of Le Haven. Still under the attack of the Spanish army, the Awekian soldiers formed the 'hidden wall', and shielded the city from invaders. And, in by 1550, Le Haven began to grow in mining production, after the discovery of gems like diamond and irons alloys like steel. Trade between Le Haven, Awekia, and Tizoc benefited all three nations. While the colony homed the French military, and a lowered number of workers, the supply of mines became huge. And, in 1551, the city began production on weaponry. With matchlock pistols, broadswords, knives, axes, and armor being the main product to come from those mines, the French and Awekian army quickly grew in newly built weaponry and armor. Furthermore, as they rebuilt their forces, the Tizoc continued updating Awekia on the state of Texjara. With the native's fate growing worst, they had lost the territory. And, while they still fought and compiled a striking scrimmage of counter attacks, the Awenativian tribe was mostly fighting for escape. With rapid unrest from the natives Awenativian tribes around the area, Osiris II announced that he would march into Texjara as soon as he could.

And, in the fall of 1553, Osiris II took a fleet of 20,000 knights and marched over the central valley mountain, and down into the Texjaran plains. Planning to take back the Texjaran territories, the French led a small group of ships, Enlightenment Bay of the Spanish Bay (now, Enlightenment Bay). Then, in the early winter of the same year, they performed their 'Awekian Bear-hug', and the army marched into the fallen city from the west, as the navy charged from the southwest. Firing cannon fire into the the beachside forts and watchtowers, the Naval fleet struck first, and created a decoyed front, and as the Awekian flanked from the back, they invaded the city. Due to the secret underground tunnel systems that the Texjaran uses for escape, the Tizoc and Awekian troops utilized their routes to navigate through the city, and ambush the conquistadors. Created by the surviving son of the Texjaran chief, Tekimcej, the tunnels were well-built, and hidden under the houses of the Spanish troops. In fact, unknown to the Awekian forces, Tekimcej had organized a few attacks of the empire before the armies arrived from the east. only 16 at the time of his nation's fall, in 1549. Osiris II learned of Tekimcej as he stormed the city.

After the conquering of Texjara, the French annexed the area into a french colony of Le Havan. After pushing the Spanish back into the western side of the island, they gave Texjara back to its people. Placing their navy in what would become French Bay, the French Awekian ports planted a barrier between the central and western land masses. Tekimcej and his people were placed back into the hierarchy of the city's power. With Awekia and France funneling trade and funding into Texjara and Le Haven, French Awekian built a foundation for itself. Reconstruction was put into work for the rebuilding of the inner city and it outskirts area. Constructing 'Le Paroi Forte' started the first glimpse of silence in the streak of battles, with the wall breaking off the two regions; French Awekia began to construct its economy. After the death of Osiris II, his oldest son, Vladimus, took the Awekian throne.

Before Vladimus took the throne in 1581, he swore an oath on the death bed of his father. Promising to bring the downfall of the Spanish colonies in Awekia, he moved his throne to Le Paroi Forte, and began preparing for his invasion of Wessex. With navy man Howie Welheim leading the Awekian fleet at sea, Awekia began hiring privateers to bombard Spanish ships with pirates, in a plan to get control of the gold flow in the Spanish colonies. As a part of Howie's plan, the pirates would rob and steal riches from exporting ships, and funnel the wealth back into the economy of Texjara, through their pirate-friendly ports and bays. This plan ultimately raised the city into a financial boom, by the early 1600s, and ruined the intent of the conquistadors.

In that time, Vladimus focused his plans on the Spanish land army. Looking to the center of Colonia, the king took a horde of 40,000 knights on horseback, and initiated the 'Red River Crusades'. Storming through the western and northern sides of Wessex, he attacked and burned down numerous army bases. Using a strike and flee method of attack, Vlad's horde would move quickly, firing flaming arrows and boulders into the forts, smoking out the men inside, before invading and vanishing into the hillsides. By 1594, the conquistadors were knocked back to the southern side of the county. And, in the winter of 1599, Vladimus would invade the city of Colonia. With a base in the center of the capital, the fought for a full two days of combat. Then after pushing through to the capital, he took the base and the high ranking officers as prisoners. However, in what would define his reign, Vladimus began the 'Howling Massacre'.

For the entirety of the nightfall of the fifth day of the invasion, he dragged the prisoners into the town's square and began to execute them in horrifying ways. Mostly using the traditional methods of the Brazen Bull to burn them alive, he also impales and flattened many. As well as using the iron maiden and gibbeting devises to execute prisoners, depending on their crimes. Eye-witness accounts of soldiers stated that the sight was "weakening to the heart and nightmarish to the mind, the howling cries and bellowing pleads echoed through all of Colonia". His massacre marked the decline of Colonia, and the Spanish presence on the island. And, his crusade dawned the end of the war. Spain's colonies wanted peace and mercy. The old world empire what loosing more that they were gaining on the island, and Vlad's acts had scared many from the island. However, Vladimus would later die of poison, from a arrow he was shot with during the capture of Colonia. Buried in his Texjaran castle, along with his beloved wife Lilith, who was executed by the French government for the 'Slitherous Killings' of 1597, they were both laid to rest in 1602. And, a month later, their younger daughter, Olsiga, would take the reign, after the insanity of her brother, Keivux, proved him to be unfit.

The first solely female ruler of Awekia, she ran the country smoothly. Still utilizing Howie's recycling system, Awekia continued smoothly. But, her reign would be forever apptimize by her vengeful act of terror upon the last Spanish colony of Santa Rica. Knowing that the city had been asking for peace, since the reign of her father, she sent a messenger to the colony. If each household were to send a carrier pigeon with a note pleading for a peace treaty, she would bring a end to the war. However, after receiving the pigeons, she set her sinister plan into motion. And, she sent them back to the homes that they came from. But, carrying flaming notes of phosphorus, they returned to the houses that they came from. And, when they returned to Santa Rica, they brought the city up in flames. Burning down the port town, Olsiga brought a small fleet of troops to slaughter those who escaped the burning city. This event was deemed the 'Vengeful Blaze of Wessex', and it lead to the much uproar and unrest. To which, the queen was impeached and exiled to a locked tower, by her third son, Francique. Awekia voted for the House of Osiris to be brought off the throne for their atrocities. And, in 1616, the House of Jestor would start with Francique Antonie Jestor.

Regional Might

- Golden Age (1632 - 1770)

The Golden War finally ended in 1615, with the exile of St. Olsiga. Francique signed a peace treaty with Spain, and planned on spreading Awekia's culture away from its dark past, and prevent a revolt of the Awekian people. The golden age, or the Awekian Renaissance, was this period of Awekian history, which began in 1618 and roughly ended in 1770. A cultural and political movement, it began with the resistance of the crown. From 1618 to 1625, many Awekian citizens grew tired of the monarchy and the warring direction that the country was in, there were a series of civil unrest. Led by the House of Vinenary, and Thomius de lu Vinenary, he proclaimed that the monarchy had not changed from the House of Osiris. Proclaiming that the Jestors were still the same party that brought on the social and moral pleat, he attracted many to his cause to place his party in charge of the nation. By 1620, the House of Jestor were heavily criticized politically. And, the long wanted purchase of French Awekia caused more anger, since many lower classed Awekians believed the annexing of the colony would repel the nation into dept, and ruin opportunities for work. Only the upperr classed looked forward to it, as the unrest developed the scare of a revolt.

However, Francique eased tensions with the 'Open Water Act' of 1623. Opening the access to private trade and communication between Awekia and the French, it help raise the market of sells within the lower class. Since the citizens of the colony of French Awekia had already been urging a succession away from France, having heightened problems with their aristocracy, they grew ever more close to Awekia, after the arrival of the French crown. Asserting their dominance in the form of the Estate system, they established themselves as the First Estate, and declared the land and economy to belong to them, as the noble class of France. But, with a uproar from the Third Estate, consisting of the poor, field labourers, and the natives, resulted from the buying of land that was previously used by French colonialist. Leading to a revolting riot in the city of Su Lebou, the newly established capital of French Awekia, the rioters took to the castle and began a civil war. Aided by the colony of Le Heven, fearing the First Estate would do the same to them. So, sending down weaponry that they were issued to create for the French, the colonialist allied and found the Civil Revolt of 1628. Burning down the city of Su Lebou, in rebellion of the nobles who owned the land, they stole the goods and valuable resources.

Awekia remained silent through the war, which lasted to 1631, before receiving further connection, most French Awekians openly displayed a interest in being annexed into Awekia. Though, still a colony of France, they distanced themselves from the empire, as Francique continued easing rebellions. Feeling the pressure of the French empire, he contacted the British Empire empire with calls to open trade. Using tea, sugar, and spice to open trade with the British, the market also called in the Dutch. While the British arrived in 1635, under the command of William E. Longsilver, in the Ningen islands and French Awekia, they began setting up post for merchant trade. And, with the arrival of the Dutch, the Awekian monarch proposed and signed the Act of Seas. A treaty that agreed for peaceful trade between the three parties, in return for the plentiful resources of Awekia, the Dutch and Longsilver both signed. Granting the British as a middle-man, the Netherlands would buy from the British, the goods sold from Awekia.

Experiencing a scientific, industrial, and artistic revolution during the time, the Dutch introduced industrialism to the Awekians. Francique heavily invested interest in the Dutch East India Company, which started a boom of multinational trading between Awekia, west Europe and the Far East. Furthermore, the Neatherlands were welcomed into Awekia. With their political stance against nobility and religion, unlike the French, both the Awekians and French Awekians desired communications. In fact, as a result of his investment in the monopoly that the Dutch had, the Awekian monarch ended all unrest in the nation, annexed the remaining Awenativian nation-states. Expanding Awekia in land, science, economics, industries, connection, and art, this investment catapulted Awekia into wealth and prosperity. And with this growth, the Jestors reopened negotiations for the purchasing of French Awekia.

-The Heavenly Purchase of 1653

French Awekia and France were in a state of influxing tension, after the Civil Revolt of 1623. As the nobility of France called and almost outright ordered a war to end the colonies, . However, fearing such a outcome, Le Hevan and Texjara continued further removing themselves from their past empire. Connecting to the British, the colony of New Engstland was founded in 1649. As the British colony to distance themselves from the growing fumes of the English monarchs, as well as a war with the French, they placed their colony under the control of the Jestors. Annexing the small city, they place Carlton H.B. Crumwell in command of the city. Establishing the Whigs as the capital counsel, the house further push for ties with Britain. And between 1649 and 1669, the city would open relations with England. Even leading to the spread of English in the colony, the language would mark the influence of both England and the Netherlands, since most who traded and communicated with the companies spoke English, the language would become the primary language by the end of the century, with even the crown taking to the tongue.

Le Haven and Texjara was left under the temporary guidance of their army, which had been in close relations to Awekia for decades. And, when the demand of a $10 million dollar sale or war came to the newly reigning King Lawrance, he accepted the purchase and vassalized the two cities, in 1653. And, with the purchase and the full control over the sugar and tea farming came the wealth in economic and cultural stability.

- Cultural Reform (1645 - 1730)

Francique would carry the nation away from the dark ages, and by the time he stepped down, in 1646, Awekia was stepping into a flourishing direction. With his son, Lawrance, taking rule after him, he would continue his father's methods.

Awekia experienced a great amount of financial growth, because of 'Howie's Funnel'. This era was idealized by the focus of the country's exotic beauty, a return to the roots of the Settlers, and the bases of Geistism. Channeling similar themes to the Italian Renaissance and the thoughts of classical Greece, the industrialized boom helped lead to the artistic reforming of the country. Manifesting into music, art, architecture, and literature, the Golden Age of Awekia started in Le Hevan. A city that help much of the Awenativian and Settlers' culture in high regard, as early as the French arrival on the island, the people of the region called for enlightenment. As well, in the midst of the tension with France, the people of La Haven re established Awekian culture in a attempt to urge the state into engulfing them.

Largely believed to be started by Madicio Lupini, a banker from the southern side of the city, he worked for the king. And, every time he requested portraits and symphonies, Madicio funded many of the artist and musicians. By 1645, numerous galleries and temples were being built in the city, and New Settleland was going through it's own renovation. Lawrance wanted to rebirth and illustrate the beauty of the country. Rebuilding New Settleland, Texjara, and Le Hevan in similar designs to southern Europe, Awekia began to grow in artistic and creative thinking. With various universities spring up around the country, and the founding of Alexandriea, the country began to display theories on the mind and soul, psychosis and emotion, and many other forms of free thought.

- Slavery in Awekia / Los Temixo and the Marrona Class

After arriving in the late 14th century, the Spanish began introducing slavery to the island in small quantities. With many plantations springing up around the inlands of Wessex, beyond the Long river in Middex, and the La Goona Iles, slaves were brought over in small numbers between 1610 and 1750.

- Howie's Funnel (1698 - 1788)

As the Awekian kingdom flourished in the area, many grew discomfort for the Spanish empire still inhabited the Wessex county. Some felt the empire would soon attack, seeing the country growing in might, others thought they'd gain the aid of the Portuguese, who were arriving in the islands, and many Awenativians displayed concern over the harsh invading, enslaving, and conquering that the empire brought to the islands. But, the majority argued for peace among the people. But, within the military and political parties, the House of Jestors agreed with British, French, and Awenativian backers on the issue.

In the spring of 1712, Howie Wilhelm Warhammer held a private meeting with the Whigs, which he discussed the idea of a privateer funnel. A plan for a secret war, he proposed that they hired privateers to invade and rob the Spanish navy, to bring economic and militaristic trouble to the colony. His idea was further luring with his insistence that they rebuilt towns in Texjara, Englandston, and islands, with loose laws to encourage the recycling of the stolen wealth into the citie. And with the instating of Howie's Funnel, they hired officers in the form of the Pirates. Warhammer called upon privateers from England and France, as well as the West Indies and South East Asia to come and take all they could from the spanish. To which, many would successfully rob the navy of gold and silver, before returning to Awekian port cities.

Texjara Bay, the French Bay, and Rockport were three of the main port cities in the kingdom, by the 1750s.
Texjara Bay, the French Bay, and Rockport were three of the main port cities in the kingdom, by the 1750s.

By 1730, Awekian shoreside cities began to overlook piracy against the spanish, with privateers gaining peaceful access to the country if they paid a tax, were not active in piracy against Awekia, Britain, the Dutch, or France, and if they abided by the laws of the city.

- The Slave Rebellion of 1745 Exo Gong

In 1745, the spanish vessel of La Babylua was sighted and attacked by pirate captain la Goona Kidd, off the coast of Wessex. While the fleet of native pirates were trying to escape into open waters, they managed to board and defeat the ship. Finding that the ship was full of slaves taken from the Caribbeans, the privateer freed and left the africans on a coarse to Texjara. Since Awekia never instated slavery, and often repelled against it for morals and political reasons against the colonial empires of the age, Texjara was a free state for slaves. Many Africans escaped across the Long River, in they managed to get free from their Spanish plantations.

However, this act led the furious empire into chasing and attacking the ship. While under the captaining of Jamaican slave, who titled himself under the name of E'Lussexodus Tuff'gonuli, the vessel land on the shore and the captives fled into the forest. Escaping recapturing, they joined the many Texjaran people and formed a community in the rainforest.

- The War of 1747 & the Texjaran/Marrona Revolution

During the time, Texjara was given back to the Texjaran people, who were rebuilding their nation-state under the assistance of the French. With the economic boom of Howie's Funnel, the state developed well. However, between the years of 1745 and 1747, the Spanish empire became increasingly aggressive against the western side of Middex. With a preoccupied grip over the Sugarward and Frenchward. Two French colonies that were able to sustain connections with France after the purchasing of French Awekia, they still experienced slavery in small quantities. With Awekian anti-slavery message looming in influence, and the harsh sight of Spanish and Portuguese plantations, the Middex county began to heavily discuss the topic of slavery in the colony of L'Boutte.

While the colony was most a production city, to farm sugar, tea, coffee, fruit, and salt, it became heavily pursued by the Spanish and Awekians. While the French hierarchy refused both nations, the lower Marrona class, a middle class of freed Africans, natives, and mixed creoles people, they were moving closer to the free country of Awekia. With the majority of the French landlords combating Spanish invasion along the long river and the French bay, the Marrona class began discussions with private Awekian politicians about taking L'Boutte. Amongst these private parties, the Whigs of Engstland led to the city of Texjara, where they met with the Marrona military leader Tajuanio L'tuilope. A reprised version of the Whigs, under the name of the Bowls, they were led by Jonathan W. Lexxon, Paulio MacCartney, Georgius W.W. Harriston, and Richard Starrous, the four reformed the party and heavily opposed slavery. Seen as radical in their beliefs, they aimed to lead to a revolution that would began with the inevitable unrest of a slave revolt.

These discussions accumulated into the Battle of Southernton, a four day uprising began when a fleets of Maroon men, led by Tuff'gonuli attacked a plantation in Kayiston. Successfully burning down the head plantation, they marched up to Southernton and fought across the Sugar Hill.

As the French military was preoccupied with the Spanish, who were taking the French Bay, the Marrona troops accumulated weapons and resources, to assist the Maroons. And by 1757, the Maroons were hefty in numbers and controlling a major amount of land in the Southernton. With support from the Awekians and Texjarans, the Bowls organized a conjoinment with the French Awekian military, who were already stationed in Texjara.

King Edward II was wanted to bring peace to the west, without becoming involved in a war. So, seeing the rising tension in the French empire, along with the Seven Year War, he and the Whigs knew the they had to act fast. And in the winter of 1773, a tsunami hit the Frenchward, and heavily flood the city in a storm. Forcing troops to disperse and back off, the French soldiers (who were mostly upper classmen, since the empire was spreading its military thin) were long past tired of the constant battles between the many factions. Sickness and flu filled the ranks, as men held out until the summer of 1774.

However, as the battles began to commence, the consistently growing issues in France were spreading to the colonies in Awekia, and the soldiers all felt that they were in a losing effort. So, in the fall of 74, Lione Ci LeChuck, commander of the french side, met with the Whigs and began talks for an end to the war. With Edward present, he offered to buy the remaining French colonies in Awekia. And after a few more meetings, the Treaty di Lion was signed and settled in 1789.

Awekia vassalized both L'Boutte and Texjara Bay, simultaneously abolishing slavery in the two cities, as well as all of the kingdom. As Lione continued to live as the head of the House of Lione, the Bowl de Whigs continued activism in Awekia for the Natives and Africans, even establishing the Bowl University in the quarters that would become Leicester Side, the Maroons would return to their settlement in the central hills of Middex, and the border would be pushed back to the Long river. Goods would continue to be produced in the region, as sugar and tea furthered the connections with the British and Dutch empires. And by 1813, the scientific revolution would lead to the founding of numerous colleges and universities. This act would spread across the country and encourage the enlightenment of Awekian citizens.

The Fall of Spanish Awekia

The Spanish colonies of Wessex had began to dwendal in power, as the empire's control began to weaken in the region. In the year of 1802, the de Russo regene organized a coup. Led by Marco Luiz Jericho y de Russo, a lower class Mestizo who believed that the colonialist were ill-fit to continue ruling, having lost in numerous battles that both lost land and dwindling resources. Much of the northeastern underclass looked to the flourishing of the Awekian kingdom, and thought Los Temixo could grow in the hands of his own.

So, after forming a militia of his own, he stormed the inlands, defeating and taking plantations and camps. As this caused raids and wars around the area of the colonies capital city, de Russo took Rico bay. However, his main goal was halted by the Coup of the Los Temixo. A peasant uprising that was started by the invasion of the Navojex clan, who entered the war as the Spanish were preoccupied with militia. Taking the courthouse and killing the king, they guarded the castle as de Russo's army were backed into the city. With the Spanish pressing from all ends, the two groups agreed to ally and fight the much larger enemy.

This would lead to a stand in, with the militia holding the capital for two days, as the Spanish gathered their forces, de Russo sent a messenger to the east, to gain the attention of Awekia. And in three days, the kingdom's military heard and sent LeChuck to follow up on the answer.

On June 6th of 1805, Lione Ci LeChuck marched a fleet of 8,000 into Spanish Awekia. Storming the city of Los Temixo, they flanked the Spanish and pushed them to the shore, before they surrendered. Then, the Treaty of Los Temixo de Wessex marked the alliance between Awekia and de Russo's regime.

By the end of the 15th century, the Spanish colonies of Wessex were experiencing the effects of a drought that lasted between of 1798 and 1813, that saw the death of nearly forty percent of their crops. With the depletion of resources going into the rebuilding the state after the Awekio-Spanish war, as well as repaying respirations to the Awenativians who were affected by the war, causing a major suffrage in the colonies of Spanish Awekia. This led to many attempts of a coup by radicals who believed the Spanish were leaving their citizens to starve and suffer. Many began to make deal with the French for food, which was illegal within the colonies. Numerous individuals were prosecuted for treason against Spain, for communing with the French and Awekian nations.

Monte Cristo, a Portuguese nobleman who worked for a Spanish ranching yard, herding and protecting cattle, started the Counts of Dude. A group of noblemen who formed and met in Dixiesticks, and owned ranches in the Dude Hills. Because of its fertile land, the range was plentiful during the drought, which attracted the Counts. But, as apart of Spanish law, they couldn't strike a deal with the French, who the land was the property of. So, Monte ormed the secret organization and gained the attention of lawmen in French Awekia. Paying a conjoined amount for usage, the group founded a free state along the Long river.

Alongside Cristo was Jedediah Dixie and Wistland Dixie, the Awenativian-descented brother mine owner, and Arpegio Migi, Texjaran politician who pressed the acceptance of immigrants from the Spanish colonies. Pushing for the mayor and capital of Texjara Bay to bring the issue to the Awekian capital, parliament organized the founding of L'Boutte, a small town below the French mining town of Sugarward and above the residence or Frenchward. The town was finalized in 1809, with the Counts being granted citizenship into Awekia. A city of the kingdom of Awekia, the city experienced the mass of the sugar, crop, and mining wealth from the Dude range. A few decades from the wildlife protection act would slow the production of mining down to a near stop, and kill the spread of land, L'Boutte expanded from the hills of inner Middex to the ends of the Long river between 1809 and 1857. The region became populated by an exodus of forced labourers of Caribbean and South American descent, looking for freedom in French Awekia, the towns of Kayaston, Southernton and O' Brasil were originally residents for them.

Dawn of the 20th Century

- Industrial Age

The industrial revolution of Awekia began within 1856, when a series of British and French inventors migrated to the country. France, who had already slowly began their industrialization, around the 1830s. French Awekia was the first to experience of growth of industries. West Haven is largely considered to be the first industrial zone in Awekia. With the mining areas in the region growing into factories, Los Haven was the first of the major areas to industrialize. Texjara Bay with the second, with the emergence of plumping in the two cities. All of the Middex county eventually became industrialized, and the rest of Awekia soon followed.

By 1890, Lower Tizoc and Downtown Awekam were both littered with large factories. Cities like New Settleland and Awekam city began renovations to update the old areas with electricity and plumbing. After a coal mine owner named Ted Long'distance built the first Awekian locomotive, called the 'Miner Line', the steam powered train quickly spread across the country. With the steamboat and automobile arriving, Awekia's started to experience a boom in their economy. Trade became easier and better, with the invention of faster and larger ships. Ports and bays in both Tizocland and Texjara became major factors in Awekia's financial rise in the 19th century.

- Maximus Junglarus, 1789 - 1926

By the end of the 16th century, while the Spanish colonies fell on the island, many Awekians grew tired of the warring and ever more urging of exploration. Furthered assisted by the drastic boom of tourism in the country, numerous Europeans from the wealthy empires like England, France, the Neatherland, and Sweden all made significant impacts in economic and population growth along the eastern side of the country. Driving much interest in the outback of Awekia, with much descriptions of its exotism, many British and Dutch noblemen would pay to experience the rainforest and beauty of Awekia.

The Jungler occupation was first mentioned in 1832, in a British newsline.

"As the noblest of prestige and class, the truest beauty on this earth lies dormant within the untouched jungles of Awekia. Land of many mysteries, which only the natives know to grave extinct. Guided by the confidently trained survivalist of the island, these Junglers tame the wild and follow the stars. In the closest attempt to merge the unmergeable of the civilized and uncivilized"

Rangers were military officers, trained in the same guerilla warfare tactics as the rest of the Awekian force, many officers, in need of work after being released from the military, took up the high demand for wildlife escort guides. And, between 1832 and 1888, numerous documented voyages sparked even more foreign fascination with the Awekian rainforest. Accompanied by grand tales of encounters with vicious animals and dangerous environments, the rising popularity of the Kingsman Warhammer Longrifle and the Knopia fighting stealth knife, the Jungler developed into the face of the Awekian age of exploration.

Although, by the turn of the century, the voyages into the outback was mostly scientific. Biologist, paleontologist, zoologist, and geologist commonly pursued research in the rainforest around them. Stories of tombs and lost Awenativian cities buried away in the jungle trees, many of the museums of today were founded with the rise of ancient discovery.

King Theo: The Cultural Laws of Awekia

By the early 18th century, many European civilians looked to Awekia as a country of travel, because of its exotic and quiet nature. Though, the then recent king Theodorus was very weary of tourism, fearing that the overwhelming of foreigners would affect the country in a negative way. Fearing that Awekia would lose itself to the addition of other countries' influence, so he created the numerous culture laws that Awekia still have to this day. Starting with the restrictions on wildlife, animal, and native affairs, he created the first national parks in Awekia and some of the first in the world. Tall Trees, Newfounder, and the Tizocatahmec national park were the first tree of the parks in 1842, with Dude Ranch and the Texjaran Reservation joining in 1855. Ordered to be reserved as they were naturally presented to the world, laws were passed to forbid hunt and disturbing of the wildlife in the area. Deforestation in a 50 mile radius of these areas was illegal, and deforestation on the island was withheld to a limit of the open plains.

This period would also see a rise in feminism, in the more European regions of country, which were culturally left rightful towards women. Starting with the rejection of female students and teachers in Ivy Yard University, Maranda May Lovestew, a former university professor from Los Haven, would bring the issue of denial to parliament. Around 1907 the first-wave feminist movement began to reawaken, putting an emphasis on its demands for equality and arguing that the corruption of Awekian politics, under foreign urges, demanded purification by women because men could not do that job And, in 1912, under majority decision, the National Woman's Rights Act was finally and established; granting women the right to vote, hold office, partake in the military and federal office, bare rights in marriage, and attend ivy league schooling. This would charge Awekian politics, since women were now a necessary special interest for politicians. Issues like prohibition, child health, marriage rights, and world peace became emphasized elaborately.

King Theo would win the Nobel Peace Prize for his deeds to his country and to the nature of the world. Tightening bonds with Japan, after many decades of isolationism, Awekia would fund much of Japan's development and aiding the democratic growth of the nation, this period was seen very foundly for Awekian politics.

The Great Sorrow: 1923 to 1935

In early 1923, a marksman by the name of Ragid McQuaro positioned himself on top of a steamboat roof, assassinated King Ty the second. Using a hunting rifle, he shot the monarch in his chest, in the midst of a royal banquet. Sending fright into all who were in attendance, the horrific event was infamously quickly spread across the country and world, as headlines read about the tragically slain king. With the capturing of the assassin being also mention, the public fell into a depressing outcry of anger and sadness. The grim state of the monarch was release to a devastating Awekia society. Causing many to question why anyone would want to kill the quiet king, and harm the peaceful country, the media flourished with guess and claims about Ragid McQuaro.

A Awekian man himself, his treason was plastered along the news, as he was arrested and held in captivity. This time, between 1923 to 1935, would be known as the 'Great Sorrow'. Queen Sophia would lead the state until 1929, when she stepped down out of ill health. A great depression plagued the country, one which urged the interrogation of McQuaro. To which, after five years of military imprisonment, it was finally discovered that he was a spy under the employment of the Questrian Empire. And, with this news surfacing to the public, there was a large Awekian out-roar for retaliation, with many seeing the act as a declaration of war. However, with the 'Triple A Act' still in motion, the country could declare war on the empire. So, in 1936, Queen Sophia brought the issue to the attention of France and Spain (to whom they signed the treaty with).

Events leading up to World War II

The early 20th century remains very peaceful for the first two decades of the 1900s. Keeping their declaration of peace for many years, still upholding their anti-aggression act that was set in the early 15th century. Staying out of the direct conflict of the brewing first world war, Awekia's only involvement in the war was in support of France and Britain. Awekia sent food and clothing to the troops in Europe. Filled with the grief of their assassinated monarch, King Ty the II, the country was in a state of sadness from 1928 on to the 1940s. However, being allied with Britain, France, Japan, and Italy, their alliance began to sway after the war. Wanting to remain neutral throughout the events after the war, the country tried to remain out of the conflict. And, by 1937's Japanese invasion of China, Awekia had continued to stay out of the fray of their invasion of both China and Korea. Although, this time, Awekian media and politicians spoke more openly in disagreement with the loom world war. Openly speaking against imperial warlike behavior of the world, they gather the united attention of the growing Axis threat. With the Japanese and German empires seeing Awekia as a potential threat, they desired to aid the war-mongering Questria.

In 1935, the imperial Japan began to support the Questrian Empire even more so than before. Having been allied with the empire since the 1920s, the two empires began trading weapons and goods. Baring ambitions of expanding across the southern pacific, Questrio constantly threaten the peaceful nation of Awekia and New Zealand. Allying with Japan, who began to distance itself from the disapproving Awekia, in fear of the nation turning on them, they began to upgrade their military forces. Furthermore, tensions continued to grow between the three nations. And finally, after bringing the attention to France and Spain. Questria's ordered assassination of King Ty, alliance and joining with the Axis countries, military advancements, and hunger for imperial expansion led to the Allies agreeing with Awekia's plea. And, as Japan helped the empire take the rest of the long split eastern kingdom of Old Questrio, and their pushing closer to the channel, the Triple A Act was dissolved, and Awekia was allowed to embark in the likely war that was presenting itself.

Awekia's Entry into World War II

In the spring and summer of 1938, Japan sent a staggering 180,000 troops to Questria. Upgrading their navy, five warships positioned themselves in Awekian territory. In late September, Questrian ships entered Awekian bordered, off the coast of the La Goona Island, and official declared war. The kingdom immediately attacked with shoreline mortar fire and countering aerial strikes. The warships retaliated by counter striking with the bombing of New Dovany. In a hail of strikes, Fort Donavy was destroyed, and more than 250 people died in the bombing. Leading to a aerial dogfight between the two nations, the Et Draco Fleet was sent to meet the invading Japanese fighter planes. Flying the newly built Draco fighter planes, the craft was built with the best maneuverability of the entire war, and finally debut in the first few air battles against the outnumbering forces. Continuing for two years, the naval and aerial battles held the two nations at a stalemate.

But, knowing that Japan was pushing closer to invading the eastern side of the island, Awekian decided that it was necessary to invade Questria. Gathering a squad of 200,000 troops, along with 170,000 New Zealand troops, operation 'red moon' was set into motion in early 1941. And, in the dead of night, Awekian force invaded from the south of Questria. Led by the Ghost Skulls who dropped in on Old Questrio from above, they invaded the fallen castle. Fighting on the ground last the entire night, and by morning, the battle ended with Awekia success. Taking back the fort, they continued on with the securing of the eastern shoreline, Allie tanks and troops began to dock at the eastern end of the island. Though, the Japanese would meet the troops with plane fire and aerial bombs. The 'Darth Bombers' were revealed over the shoreline. Dropping more than 3,000 pounds worth of explosives and 60-caliber machinegun rounds, the allied troops didn't see them coming. Destroying the forts and shoreline, the ally troops had to escape into the forest for safety.

Using spies and secret agents to gather intelligence on the Questrian forces and tech, the kingdom had acquired enough information to invade Questrio's main city of Qunofeti. So, the fleet roamed the jungles, running into numerous camps of Questrian and Japanese troops. While dogfights continued above, dropping goods into the rainforest, the fight for survival and progression became dire, with most countless men falling to the clement as well as the war.

New Questria and the Annexation of Questrio

Modern Age

The Metroboom

In the early twenty first century, Awekia entered a growth in cities and provinces, with new reforms being held in Awekam City and Los Haven, to repair and rebuild sewage systems and . The metroboom started with the redoing of the underground. As Awekia expanded their many older cities like New Settleland, Texjara and Tizocland beyond the circular city design of the Natriolis shape of the Awenativians, in order to accommodate a larger population, they began to construct larger and broader plans, to add in the developing motor vehicles and automobiles. As the the T-Model became a means of transit, along with the double decker bus, grand metropolitan areas started to surface.

Starville Valley was considered the first city build in the modern era, and formed as a booming metropolitan. With subway lines and trolley carts to assist the wide size of the stretching city, Awekia greatly improved with the addition of automobiles. However, unlike America's widened streets and cities designed around the car, Awekian development minimized the use of the vehicle. Since the inner cities of many regions had tightly constructed Natriolis regions, and the restricted amount of usable land marked a limit of available zoning area, city planners formed the first Superblocks in the world. Large squares of properties with alleys and small lanes passing through them for civilian use, vehicles like busses and trolleys were restricted to the outskirts of these blocks. As townhouses and apartments incorporated the pueblos of the ancients Awenativian architecture, allowing more to live in smaller areas of land.

Alongside the reformation in the Royal Council, the position of governor was instated over the provinces that now emerged, to help control the interest of the growing population and city size. The provinces of Essex, Middex, and Wessex was founded in 1947, with Sossex in 1950.

Prohibition, Crime, and the Ax'Zukoja Era

By the 1920s, the coastlines and beaches of Awekia, in cities like Texjara and Colonia, were filled with clubs and bars, gambling dens and casinos that lined the active boardwalks along the bays and tourist heavy regions. With many of these successful businesses being owned and ran by the descendents of the 17th century privateers that settled in the bays and gulfs.

However, by the end of the twenties, numerous foreign nobles and aristocrats from England and France began to move to the country with intent on forming clubhouses, upscale hotels, and casinos to push out the establishments that they saw as lowly and not fit for them. But, with the rise in competition that many Awekians couldn't compete with, they relied their secret production of Salza and Zozu drinks to lure in customers. Working for a while, by 1932, the noble class began to steer politicians and authorities into prohibition, where the production and distribution of liquor was ruled illegal, as well as the creation and running of unauthorized gambling houses was ruled illegal. This forced numerous Awekian businesses to close and step away from the industry. Dany Sujo later admitted to having done nearly two hundred targeted hits between 1933 and 38.

However, the Charist'ma family strongly opposed the foreign aggression. Managing to pay for a license to run a clubhouse, the family began opening a chain of small, isolated, secretive bars and juke houses where gambling and liquor was sold. Although, police investigations began to get tipped off about these 'Speak-eases'. To which, the Charist'ma family combatted with violence, blackmail, and forcing silence. And, the city of Texjara was shocked by numerous accounts of noblemen and aristocrats disappearing and/or being found dead. Striking fear into opposing business owners, leading to the selling of clubhouses and hotels to the Charist'ma family, who began to be labeled Ax'Zukoja, stemming from the term used by the spanish to refer to Awenativian warriors (Jadixes, most of the time) who led bands of pirates in the Golden Age of Piracy. The mob grew across the nation as numerous families in Tizocland and the Ningen islands had identical problems with foreign intrusion. In fact, the Nashi and Texitana families both begin their rise to prominence in this time.

But, the era came to an end with the reformation and tactical planning of the Awekian police force, as well as the end of prohibition. With liquor and gambling legalized, the Ax'Zukoja became quiet and secret in their activity, running business in legit manners of conduct.

The Progressive Era: 1940 to 1950

After the war, Awekia immediately returned their attention to the growth of the nation. Once Questria and Japan surrendered, New Settleland held a festival in the wake, accommodating in the 'baby boom' of the late 1940s. Public attitudes and ideal swiftly shifted from the isolated state of the 19th century, as the Transcontinental Road Act was instituted in 1942,leading to a rise in foreign immigration to the country. The populations of caribbeans, jewish, romani, slavs, and latinos rose across the island.

By 1945, censors had reported the amount of children being born, and climb in the birth rate. And, in a March 9, 1947 edition of Awekam City Post, 3,357,000 babies were reported to have been born in that year alone. Though the term baby boom or boom was never used until after 1975, this point was thought as the start of the generation. Initially thought to be a problem, with fears of it becoming to much of a future expense, between 1945 and 1948 the population of Awekian citizens climbed four times. This would lead to the start of youth culture in Awekia. On a similar note to the United States, who exported much to the island, culture grew into a high by this period.

The television and radio would be popularized, along with the cinema, which would epitomize the era of 1950s culture. Boomers were dissected, analyzed, and pitched to by modern marketers, who reinforced a sense of generational distinctiveness. This is supported by the articles of the late 1940s identifying the increasing number of babies as an economic boom. With tourism rising from america, shoreline saloons and bars grew into high-scale casinos and clubs as Awekian nightlife became a scene of its own. As the mystique and allure of the Ax'Zukoja became mainstream because of music and movies, much of their esthetic would epitomise the times. Salzia would be deemed the 'liquor of the Awekian people', the pompadour, motorcycles, and rebellious and rockin' image would become mainstream, to much skepticism.

By the end of the war, the Questrian empire had ran through their resources, lost financial allies in the rest of the Axial nations, had to pay reparations to the southern Pacific nations, and were in a space of desperation. Questria had suffered heavy losses during the war, both in lives and industrial power. 2.9 to 3.5 million Questrians had been killed, roughly 19.26 to 19.86 percent of the population. The country's cities were severely damaged from heavy bombing in the closing chapters of the war, along with the Allies' invasion of the capitol city. and agricultural production was only 35 percent of what it was before the war.

With no funds to spend on infrastructure and reconstruction of their own nation, the country was also facing terrorist attacks, coups, and civil rights threats from the angered citizens who saw the state as their own futile attempts to force a imperial advancement.

With the fall of the former regime, to the hands of the Awekian forces, turmoil began once the army pulled out of the region. With the remaining military taking a stand for the former government, the people uproared and acted against the commanders of the nation. Between 1947 and 1952, a series of guerilla battles and terrorism sprung up across the country, leading to more warring on in the area. King George embarked on a controversial insistence on bringing refugees from the impoverished area, where lower income workers were being forced into intense labour and grooling hours for little to no pay. By the end of 1956, numerous human right violations were being offended, and the world was looking to Awekia to mend them.

Annexation of Sussex

Australia, New Zealand, the US, and Europe consulted upon rebuilding the failing nation, under the plea of Awekia. George would seek aid in funding the annexation and reconstruction of the destroyed capital metropolitan area. In attempt to pay off the debt that the fallen government owed, Awekia had dismantled the influences of former dictatorship, and started funding residential and industrial reconstruction of the capital city. Under U.S. assistance, Awekia purchased large amounts of land, and began the task of recreation of New Questria. In 1947, the nation's currency was replaced by the Awekian pound as the currency of the Awekian occupation zones, leading to their eventual economic recovery. Focusing the capital on industry work, mining and agricultural lands were founded and built before 1953. Employing hundreds of migrants from the north, former immigrants from Wessex and New Engstland, Tsaz George often made his presence and influence known in the region. Many Zhanist hospitals, medical centers, schools, and churches were constructed in the years following, focusing on scientific and academic growth of the people, seeing a cultural rise in Awenativian traditionalism.

By 1959, the outer regions of New Questria was producing food in high enough quantities to sustain itself. The country subsequently began a slow but continuous improvement of its standard of living, with the export of local products, a reduction in unemployment, increased food production, and a reduced black market. And, with the discover of a abundance of uranium and oil, Awekia and the United States debuted the Sim Plan, which would see trade lower the debt owed to Awekia's backers.

In 1947, the George Plan, initially known as the "Sussex Recovery Program" was initiated. In the years 1947–1952, some $13 billion of economic and technical assistance—-equivalent to around $130 billion in 2006—were allocated to Tsaz George, who would use it to purchase most of Sussex. Despite protests from many beneficiaries, the George Plan, although in the less generous form of loans, was in 1949 extended to also include the newly formed New Questria. In the years 1949–1952, the city received loans which totaled $1.45 billion, equivalent to around $14.5 billion in 2006. And, the Sim Plan, by 1980, would have earned Awekia enough to pay off the full extent of the debt by 1970.

On the eastern region of the island, they would construct numerous hotels and country clubs along the shoreline, to encourage tourism to the city. They named this region in the east Vice City, and along with Simcity in the north, established on a strong base of commercial success. Simcity would see the opening of casino hotels and the clubbing environments, with the loosening of alcohol and gambling restriction. Simultaneously, heavy commercial building was done in Las Grandios, with intentions on it becoming a large metropolis, like New York or London.

As the cleaning out of the region by the late 50s, through the assistance of the United States, they both saw a series of condominium and matropoline construction. The country's economic recovery under the newly formed democratic government was, once it was permitted, swift and effective. During the mid-1950s, the unemployment rate in Sussex was so low that even with the influx of more than 300,000 jewish, italian, and slavic immigrants into the city's labor force, the region was still able to sustain itself. Questria's economy continued to improve until the 1973 oil crisis.

Cultural Growth and Present

1960s - 70s: Counterculture

As the 60s began, Prince Lance had became a public figure of watch; being a young man who fit the youthful presence of the baby boomer age, he was seen as the next leader of the country. So, the coming elections were viewed as his chance of setting his ideals for the nation. With Questria being a large issue of discussion among academic communities of the 50s, the growing wage fears and over-immigration were the problem of the people. Polls showed that 60% of Awekian natives saw that immigrant should be halted. A drift between the older and younger generation started to take root in the views on such topics.

The 60s would see the rapid turn around and economic growth of Questria, after the annexation. With a boom in food production and oil, Awekia experienced a new stream of wealth, leading to a 'cultural golden age', as many would phrase it. Continuing onto the youth revolution of the 50s, the 60s would see the rise of Salsia music, from the all-star bands that played the music. Immigrants from Latin america and the caribbean's would bring their cultural sounds with them, creating the dance music, and quickly becoming the sound of popular culture. Artist like Joey Pachejo, Ren Jin Luna, Michél Johannez, and even Tijuano would become popular. They lyrics of youthful rebellion, love, Awenativian culture, hippie philosophies, and the poverty of the past generations would fuel the times, especially with the rising conflicts in Korea and Vietnam.
