Sentonia

Sentonia, officially the Kingdom of Sentonia is a minor regional power in northeast Talasi. It was first founded by Lord Sentigosedge as a small lordship village. Its capital is Senti. The kingdom is thought to have evolved from a lordship when it united with nearby Kanston, a small village that proclaimed the Kanalanian State, and with Zanti, a tiny agricultural village already in a union with Kanalania.
=== Pre-history & Early History ===
==== Tribal State ====
Before its foundation as even a territorial town claim, Senti and Sentonian culture already existed. Although not as much as greater and more important states across Abexilas, it consisted of various small groups of players. The two groups were the Sentigosedgeians, and the Kanalanians. The Zanti came later, probably from a mix of Drackarian and eastern players.
==== The Founding ====
The Sentigosedgieans settled in the town of Senti sometime around -10 V.E., and the Kanalanians in Kanston, a small migrating group of players of no more than 3, settled in the eastern side of the island. Those were the Zanti, who settled in a tiny claim town of Zanti. Zanti and Kanston were united under the Zanti-Kanalanian Empire for about 2 years "in-game", and later united with Senti, the most successful and biggest town of the three. This marked the founding of Sentonia.
=== Rule of King Sentigosedge ===
When Lord Sentigosedge, inspired, decided to start a small town, more people started to join. Migrants and builders came to the city, looking for a place to make buildings, roads, houses, and leave conflicts in major nations. Sentonia has been greatly peaceful for most of its history, despite some minor skirmishes with Drackar.
In the Early rule, Sentonia had an issue with Drackar. It was a medium sized small series of conflicts with the nation of Drackar and in a smaller scale, Licetiusta. The series of conflicts started in 4 V.E., and ended in Early 5. V.E., when diplomat 8bitgamer negotiated at least a temporal peace with Drackar. Although disputed, this conflict is thought to have initiated due to various factors blamed on both nations, including arrogance of Sentonians, and fear of the Drackarian military.
Haxergonz, a prominent military member and government noble, had attempted to establish a colony in behalf of Sentonia in the northwest. They settled Rosiyen and Boliventia near the town of Aethel, and it was settled by a small amount of Sentonian settlers. Eventually, the town was ceded to the growing northern power of Tellia.
==== Day of Mysterious Clouds ====
In the year 16 V.E., all of Sentonia, and virtually all of Abexilas, witnessed a sort of "eclipse" or some kind of blacking of the sky. For some in-game days, everything went dark, and many started panicking. Many thought of this as religious signs, but most sentonians were calm and knew this was not something to be scared about. Authorities managed the streets and kept everything under control. This day is remembered as mysterious yet interesting and there is still investigation by cartographers and astronomists in the nation alike.
==== The Helsian Conflict ====
In the year 22 V.E. the King of Sentonia, Sentigosedge I, was approached by the king of Helsia Sexydragonman and foreign minister Samuelemcn, They asked Sentigosedge to turn off the chunk border. He was fine as long as he was compensated in land, as he had intended when the town of kanston expanded across the river. However, the Helsians' king and foreign ministers said they didn't want to expand them anymore, and wanted the borders to remain the same, and expressed that they wanted us off of their lands "side note the helsians didn't have any claims in the area but they were enforcing a reclaim on the land". The meeting abruptly came to an end, with the Helsians later just giving up, with the Epitchians faililng to enforce their ultimatum.
==== The Azurein Conspiracy ====
For most of the year 36 V.E., more than half of all Sentonian Ministers are discovered to have taken place in a conspiracy against his Majesty King Sentigosedge. They were therefore charged and put in trial. This day is remembered as a day of both grief and a rule of how the King should ensure loyalty. Overall, this day proves to be a lesson as well as a leadership tragedy on behalf of the higher courts of power
==== The Eastern Desert Crisis ====
The Eastern Desert Region in the medium sized island of Sentonia had always been a disputed area, for its mining industry, and its massive sand reserves. Although only populated by small camps and temporary tribes, it had been a dispute between 3 major civilized powers: The Empire of Drackar, The Holy Empire of Sahriya, and the Kingdom of Sentonia itself. Drackar had pretty much pulled out of the desert region for the most part, but The Holy Empire of Sahriya now claimed the region as its province. The Kingdom of Sentonia, which had been overseeing massive expansion to the East of its own island, would not let this sit. Starting from 42 V.E., Sentonia and Sahriya disputed over the region, having big diplomatic talks and disruptions with a significant decrease of relations. There were also a few minor stand off skirmishes between settlers, some Sentonian Eastern frontier guards, but nothing major or any direct violence. Although the land is still roughly in dispute, the conflict calmed down in 44 V.E.
=== Ideology ===
The ideology of Sentonia refers to the sets of beliefs possed by the nation's most prominent members and the leaders. The Leader Stated that: "Sentonia is a Capitalist Nation". However, contrary to most kingdoms and oligarchies based on capitalism, Sentonia encourages a deeply social approach to wealth problems and inequalities. There are many public storages, smelters, and enchantments, as while capitalism and high class is encouraged, no one is ever left out significantly.
=== Culture ===
The town of Senti, the capital, has no outstanding ethnicity or regional preference. There are currently no villagers, and they have rights if they enter anyways. It is a clearly human kingdom with some small minorities, and a large cultural coherence, even of some peoples descended from several nations, mostly northern states.
The Sentons are the primary culture group in the Kingdom of Sentonia. They inhabit basically every sentonian territory or colony, such as Free City or Skabonkerville. It is the most privileged group, but enforced only by society, not by law, since law considers all who reside here as Sentonians if they are residents. The Sentons are a group originally coming, according to Sentonian Lore, from the Realm of Sentonia, or the old Senton great realm. The earlier description or word for "Sentons" was Sentigosedgeians, named after the first King of the Sentons.
===== Kanalanians =====
The Kanalanians refers to a sub-culture of Sentonia, coming from Kanston and Zanti. Differences with Sentonian culture is almost irrecognizable, and Kanalanian culture is closely associated to both Zanti and Senti. Kanalania is also a word derived from the Zanti-Kanalanian Empire, a small tribal state existing before both united with Sentonia. Its impact is still great in the capital city of Senti but rather irrelevant due to its very common similarity with Senti culture.
===== Stanistaniites =====
This, the Stanistaniites, is considered the only true and pure "outside" culture 
group within Sentonia. It refers to the Stanistani peoples residing within the town of said name in Central Talasi. Its true origin is not very well documented, but they joined the Kingdom of Sentonia, and hold a powerful and influential status there, being total equals and appreciated members of the Sentonian society.
