Aurelia

Aurelia is the only known major continent on the unnamed planet. It is very large and is home to many different species and peoples. It is where the events of the CNU, or Cool Name Universe, take place.
== History ==
=== Formation ===
Aurelia is believed to have formed millions of years ago as the result of a supermassive underwater volcano eruption, causing the chunk of land that is Aurelia to form. It's believed the fauna and flora that now inhabit Aurelia are the result of nearby existing sea life evolving to live on land. 
=== Early civilizations ===
Many primitive and ancient human and other sentient species civilizations can be traced back as early as -2500. However very little is known about them.
=== The meteor, Starborn, and first countries ===
In year 0, a massive meteor crashed into what is now the capital city of the Starborn Republic, Estrella. Although the impact was likely massive and devastating to anything nearby, other primitive human tribes and groups took interest in the meteor and began building a large civilization on and around it that they called Estrella. 
However after living around the meteor for awhile radiation from it began affecting the humans that settled around it. Many contracted cancers and died however there were some that were instead granted enhanced abilities and senses as a result of the radiation. These enhanced humans became known as Starborn humans. 
A few years after this one Starborn human by the name of Astra believed that is was the Starborn's destiny to conquer and rule over the whole world and that their enhancements were a gift from the stars to achieve this. Many followed him and they formed the first known country in Aurelian history; The Starborn Empire.
Around the same time some other nations also began forming around Aurelia. Zalos, Nevis, South Aurelia, and more. As the countries expanded their claims on Aurelia eventually they couldn't claim anything that hadn't already been claimed.
=== The Starborn conquests ===
In year 29 the Starborn Empire had grown to a large size, however they were still not satisfied, still believing that it was their destiny to rule over all of Aurelia they began a series of wars known as the Starborn Conquests against the rest of Aurelia. After approximately 200 years of war and conquest, all of Aurelia had fallen to the Starborn Empire. And they had achieved their destiny. 
=== Under Starborn rule ===
Despite their victory, ruling over Aurelia proved to be difficult for the Empire. Uprisings were frequent and despite their best efforts, many cultures and people refused to adopt Starborn culture. Because of this, many cultures and species were persecuted and even exterminated by the Starborn Empire, most notably the Nassi genocide.
=== Collapse of the Starborn Emprie ===
By year 824, the Starborn Empire's rule over Aurelia was greatly weakened. Many conquered countries were rising up and demanding independence, the Empire grew very tired of constantly putting down rebellions, and the Empire's people were calling out for a change. Then the first nation declared independence from the Empire, Zalos. And one after another more and more nations declared independence with little to no trouble. Eventually the Empire collapsed, and a new democratic government was formed from within the Empire. It then became known as the Starborn Republic.
=== Nuclear accident ===
In year 956 the Starborn Republic was attempting a nuclear energy test in western Aurelia that went catastrophically wrong. The nuclear reactor overloaded and began spreading radiation all across western Aurelia that caused a large part of western Aurelia to become uninhabitable and dangerous. Since then no countries have attempted any nuclear experiments. The only other time something of this magnatude has happened was in 987, when the Federation of South Aurelia attemped to transport it's nucluar weapons, which were created bu 956, but failed, causing an eplosion. The area, while still inhabitable, is known as Wasteville these days. 
== Countries ==
These are all the countries that are currently controlling Aurelia.
* Starborn Republic: The oldest country on Aurelia, formerly the Starborn Empire. The Starborn Republic controls a very large amount of territory in northeastern Aurelia.
* Zalos Independent State: More commonly called simply Zalos, this country seems to be where magical energy and power are most prominent. Ruled by the Zalosians, and seperated from the rest of Aurelia by the Zalos mostly keeps to itself and attempts to avoid getting into affairs with other countries, and is hostile to outsiders.
* Federation of South Aurelia: Known as the Federation commonly, they are a country built on an ideology similar to facism. and have technology more advanced then most, if not all the other contries. They are ruled bu the Purple Dragons, a criminal organization that secretly took over and is pretending to try and do good, while actually harming the citizens. There is a Rebel group that has mostly been dealt with, but it still is active.
* Nevis Republic: The Nevis Republic, more commonly known as just Nevis, is a relatively young constitutional monarchy that resides on the northern part of Aurelia. Nevis is relatively friendly to all except the Starborn, who they hold resent towards.
* Morfis: A small, mostly insignificant nation that is mostly covered in an uninhabitable and hostile desert.
* Kingdom of Nathonia: A nation locked in the past, ruled by an absolute monarchy and covered mostly by a thick and massive forest.
