==History==
===Arrival of the Ijanuskians===
Treaty of Bari, signed in 1445 by the and the , put the territories of Ijanusky under the rule of . The Iberian influence in the Balkan Peninsula greatly expanded maritime trade. New trade routes, going mostly through Swanian ports, were established, thus increasing migration from Ijanusky to Mediterranean islands under the Aragonese control.
The most prominent Ijanuskian diaspora in Swania was centered on the Western coast of Sardinia, around the city of Oristano. Following the Swanian declaration of independence of 1502, the island of Sardinia became a dispute between the independent republic and the Aragonese Crown. Pope was chosen to be the mediator in the conflict. His plan introduced the division of the island, with Campidano becoming the northernmost region under Swanian reign.
With the Aragonese expressing the will to regain control over lost Swanian territories, the government in Palazzo decided to increase the defense system in the borderlands. Ijanuskians from all over the country were involved in establishing a fort in Oristano, thus beginning the second wave of Ijanuskian immigration to Sardinia.
=== Road to independence===
Ijanuskian community has continued to develop in Sardinia during the Union of Swania-Ijanusky. However, with the start of the by the bordering in mid-19th century, tensions began to rise within the country. Some argued, that it is in Swania's interest to leave the union and side with Italy, possibly becoming a part of newly-formed Italian state.
Civilian protests broke out in Aristana in 1860, blocking Swanian access to one of the most important ports on the island. A military intervention was discussed in the Swanian Parliament, although it never happened, following the veto of king Ivanič I. Provisional government of the Campidan Republic was successfully established.
In the following weeks, the Prime Ministers of both Swania and Ijanusky negotiated the terms of Campidan succession from Swania. Garibaldi, being a great supporter of Swanian unification with Italy, agreed to cede the region to Ijanusky, as he considered it overly rebellious. Eventually, on January 1st, 1861, last Swanian officials have left the province of Campidano forever. This event was later perceived as one of the nails in the coffin of the entire union, which collapsed later that year.
===House of Savoy===
The dissolution of Swania-Ijanusky turned out to be disastrous for Campidano. With domestic problems in mainland Ijanusky, the province wasn't governed properly. Domestic trade has started to rapidly decrease, while the inflation was growing at enormous pace. Local population then started to oppose the House of Kotromanič.
Furthermore, newly formed Kingdom of Italy, supported by France, announced claims on the area. International mediation took place between them and Swania, leading to the formation of neutral Duchy of Campidano in 1865, with Eugenio Emanuele di Savoia-Villafranca in the lead. Both sides then withdrew its claims on Campidano. The treaty wasn't recognised by the government in Miljacka, and the duchy didn't have any official relations with Ijanusky up until the formation of .
