The Republic of Argen

The Republic of Argen is a constituent Federal republic of the Republic of Renali.
Argen is the most populated of the three Federal Subjects, with slightly more citizens than Sannel. Argen also has by far the largest economy out of any of the three Federal subjects, contributing over half of the federal GDP. As a result, Argen has a dominant position in the Republic, so much so that in informal speech Tiapians and Badari refer to the Renali Republic as "Argen" and "Arkan" respectively.
== History ==
=== Pre-History ===
The land that today encompasses Argen was first settled by the Nomadic Tir people around 4,000BRC. These people due to their nomadic nature did not remain long, and have had virtually no impact on the societies that followed. The Tir were replaced with Pedrilli from the same migration wave as the proto-Chapi, which also formed the communities in Sannel and the Neck. These Pedrilli established the earliest settlements, some of which are still inhabited today.
=== Formation of Argen ===
The area today known as Argen was, until only 600 Years Ago, a mismatch of local lords and republics with no uniting force behind them. In the early 6300s the Republic of Serions established a trade and defensive pact with its immediate neighbours, securing the coast of Argen. Unfavourable trade terms were placed on any state that refused to join this customary pact, spurred on by the immensely powerful Trai Banking Family's agressive loaning program to foreign powers. Eventually, by 6315, the vast majority of the Argenese states had joined this union. The Pact of Sarions formed the Confederation of Argen. While an uncentralized and albeit weak federation, this was an essential step to the formation of a strong, centralised republic. In order to secure dominance and force a centralised government, the Trai-backed government of Sarions instigated a minor civil war against the inland states. This War sprialled beyond what was intended by Sarions, with the inland rebels putting up much more of a fight than anticipated. Eventually, an agreement was met, and the Treaty of Persont established the modern Republic of Argen, with a centralised, albeit truly representative government that ensures fair representation to each State within the Republic
