==Etymology ==
The name of the country, Nagora, originates from Bengali word নগর - nagara (city). It was first used around 17th century by the local population to describe colonial settlements. The word was later adapted as the name of the southern regions of Portuguese Bengal.
After nation's declaration of independence, the name Nagara was slightly adjusted in English to the modern Nagora.
==History==
===Portuguese colonisation===
Portuguese influence in Bengal area has started around 1537, with first settlements on Hugli river. It has further expanded over the century, with take-over of French and Dutch towns and eventually major English port of Calcutá in late 1690s.
===Colony of Bengal===
Bengal under Portuguese rule was known from its tolerance for all religions. People arriving from all over the sub-continent helped the local economy develop and eventually gave Bengal enough wealth to officially gain status of a colony.
Despite town of Hugli being the oldest settlement, Calcutá was chosen to be the new capital. Ever since the city's been growing rapidly. Local authorities invested in building churches, mosques, mandirs and even fire temples for Zoroastrians, as well as first universities.
===Quit-Nagora Movement ===
With formation of United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves with capital in Rio de Janeiro in 1815, governing the colony in Bengal was less efficent. Local independence movements began to gain popularity, starting massive Quit-Nagora Movement. In 1821 a military coup d'etat took place, making Nagora an independent military junta. Northen part of the Bengal colony, Bangladesh, stayed under Portuguese influence.
Junta was one of the least successful periods in Nagoran history. Despite building a national unity, both economy and international relations have decayed singificantly. Anti-Portuguese propaganda caused huge decay in Catholic population.
=== War in Mizoram===
Aggressive policy of military generals caused multiple border conflicts with Portuguese Bangladesh and British India. In 1907, claims on Mizoram were announced. Nagoran navy blocked the delta of Padma River, cutting off Portuguese access to Bangladesh. A war broke out between Nagora, Portugal, Bangladeshi and Mizorami nationalists.
Due to lack of access Portugal quickly lost the land war and had to completely withdraw from the area in early 1908, recognising the independence of Bangladesh. War in Mizoram continued, with all three remaining sides claiming area and theirs.
When national depression and war exhaustion reached their lowest point in early 20th century, Nagorans went on protests to install new, democratically chosen government. In 1912 first elections were held, choosing socialist system. Capital city, Calcutá, was renamed into Nagorapolis. Nagoran armies withdrew from Mizoram.
=== The Brahmaputra War ===
Shortly after the end of the World War II, India was granted its independence. The new government in New Delhi aspired to consolidate all of former British Raj under a new, centralised state. Negotiations began with the kingdoms of Sikkim and Manipur, however a union agreement was not reached. A military intervention was issued by India on February 6th, 1951. The attack was condemned by the governments of Nagora, Bangladesh, and Burma, each sending an ultimatum to New Delhi demanding immediate withdrawal. The request was declined. The anti-Indian coalition was formed. The Brahmaputra War has officially began in April, upon the intervention of the three countries.
Within the first month, combined Bangladeshi and Nagoran forces cut off the Indian supply line through the Indian corridor, effectively encircling the enemy in Assam. Most of the forces evacuated to Bhutan, from where they were flied back to India. Assam was captured with barely any resistance, while the People's Republic of China annexed the disputed area of Arunachal Pradesh, in exchange for supplying the coalition. A stalemate was reached on the western front, spanning behind the Nagoran and Bangladeshi border with India.
With little to no successful Indian counter-offensive over the following two years, both sides met in Nagoran city of Sakchi, in order to discuss peace terms. The independence of Sikkim and Manipur were guaranteed, however with both countries being obliged to hold democratic elections under Nagoran and Burmese supervision. India was to cede Indian North-West Bengal to Bangladesh, and Mizoram to Nagora. The remaining part of now exclaved Indian lands formed the Republic of Assam. Chinese sovereignity over Arunachal Pradesh was recognised.
=== Modern history ===
Due to rapidly increasing number of citizens, Nagora started sufferring with overpopulation in 1980s. The government adapted mild birth control policy, which encouraged Nagorans to attend free higher education and adapt planned parenthood. Thanks to this, current Nagoran population is 20 mln smaller than estimated in 1980.
Nowadays Nagora is considered to be one of the most developed nations in the region, with the highest GDP nominal per capita in South Asia. In 2005, it became the observer state of .
In 2008, due to growing tensions within Mizoram, a referendum for the province's independence was announced. It took place a year later, with over 70% of local population voting in favour. After a 4 year long transition period, the Republic of Mizoram was proclaimed. Despite the former tensions, the nation keeps friendly relations and strong economic ties with Nagora.
