==Name==
The name "Corda" comes from one of the Goman Emperors, Cordan, he came from the areas where Corda is today and is most known for changing the areas of Corodenian mainland and Meownia from rural farmlands to rich cities.
==History==
=== Pre-Corda ===
Corda was once home to an ancient civilisation, they in 853 BC buried a script that would be rediscovered 1300 years later by Meownians, it's known they vanished soon after.
In the II half of II Century BC Westen Corda was settled by Gomans, even before that in 323 BC Gomans have started colonizing Andelasia, and ended it in 149 BC. Though for many centuries of Goman Rule Corda was mainly rural, when Corda started ruling the country became more urbanized. However by 400 AD Goman Empire was in a chaotic state and it was a shell of itself, this caused Descendants of Corda to declare Republic of Corda in 24th March 444 with the help of Meownians. The country consisted of Southern regions of Isquer, Tilani, Plantea and Arvarplante.
=== Before the Republic (444-775) ===
On 17th September the same year Goman Empire Recognized Corda while giving it rest of Isquer, Tilani, Plantea and Arvarplante but also giving parts of Poqueranie, Pancitella and Ancestude. in 447 a king was chosen and the flag was changed to the current one. In 568 Goman Empire collapsed, the king saw this as a opportunity and conquered rest of Poqueranie, most of Altanacor and parts of Meiram and Hamaletra, because of that in 572 he merged Arvarplante, Plantea, Isquer and Tilani. In 625 Corda attacked Osmea to conquer some areas. In 629 Corda won and took parts of Balles, Meiram and parts of Hamaletra. In 642 Pacintella is merged to Hamaletra. In 752 Corda attacked Osmea once again and won, they took Forestrim and the rest of Balles, Ancestude and Hamaletra. In 771 King of Andelasia died without having a son, his closest relative was Lavendaroma II who ruled Corda. and so he inherited the rerritory, he spent 4 years improving quality of life in Andelasia but in 775 everything changed...

===Republic of Corda (775-Today)===
Republicans after many years of conflict did a coup, King of Corda escaped to Vivajanger while Republicans assumed power. In 855 Republicans did a administrative reform. In 892 Corodenian armies lost against Kerbali Forces, as a result many Kerbali people settled in Meiram. Due to what happened Casamadra Hamaletra resigned. In 927 unknown perpetrators assaulted Corodenain Parilament, current and former president along with 5 other people died. Because of a Kerbali civil war in 1030, Corda gained new teritories, they became part of Meiram and Hamaletra. In 1054 they increased taxes, a move which was unpopular in Andelasia and in the mainland, this was quickly reverted in 1055 and caused Coraca Ponteaqua to resign 3 years later. In 1092-1095 they won another war with Osmea which resulted in takeover of Nalena.
