## History

### Pre-Goman History (????-249 BC)

A long time ago, there was a civilization who settled the area that specialised in trading bronze called Atrainese Civilisation, they practiced a cat-worshipping religion. In 853 BC, they were attacked by Otharian Empire due to border disputes in Ascena. The civilization fell as the Sea Empire killed the civilization's leader. They buried the Cattism Script hoping newer generations would find it and revive their traditions. The Sea Empire later crumbled and they moved back to Anarchea as it was difficult to manage such a big realm.

### Goman Settlement (249 BC-368 AC)

After a few hundred years in 249 BC, the Goman Empire discovered Ascena, it's unknown when they discovered Meownia but it was likely very early in their history. There were still some ruins of the old empire. They aren't ready to settle it yet as they were busy with other things. After 30 years in 219 BC, they settled the northernmost areas of Ascena creating a city. In 167 BC, they conquested the Meownian Peninsula and 20 years years, they conquested the rest Ascena. In 74 BC, the Goma Empire found Anarchea including Araucania, and a lot of Gomans settled the area killing off any post-Otharian rump states.

### Capanillean Meownia (368-563)

In May 17th 368, inhabitants of the Goman province of Meownia decided to leave the empire due to the almost decade-long civil war, this was contested by the emperor but he couldn't do much, in 369 in the Treaty of Ancien that was supposed to end the war, the emperor guaranteed independence of both Meownia and another separatist movement, the Acepogland Provisional Goverment.

In 426 during another civil war, they decided to conquer Ascena to exploit the situation, to further integrate the new lands, the name was changed from Meownia to Meowscenia and the goverment was reorganized to be more federative. In 444 seeing that they could exploit the long civil war more, they helped Corda get independence. In 502 during the Luklalan Rebellion Meownia conquered southwestern Andelasia, calling it the "Autonomous of the Cats" and succesfully encouraging Meowscenian settlers.

### Cattist Meownia and Pax Meownia (563-668)

In 563, the Cattism Script that was buried a long time ago is found dig up by a cat, reviving Cattism. In 568, since the Goman Empire fell, Meownia conquered the rest of Andelasia, and integrated them into the Autonomous. In 576, Meowscenia became a trading republic. In 634, exploiting the instability after the Capanillean Schism they attacked 2 Anarchean city states and Viaja, all 3 surrendered and were annexed except Viaja which was partially annexed. The Meowscamous Federation decided to make a new region called Araucania to further integrate the new territories, named after the ancient name for the land.

### After Pax Meownia (668-850)

In 668, some people in Andelasia decided to rebel as they didn't like being in an autonomous region for cats. In 673, Andelasia broke free from Meownia under the rule of a local dynasty with the exception of 2 southern Upsarian islands weren't annexed due to their religious importance, they were transferred to the Meownian Region. In 825, Meownia decided to ally with Corodenians since their recent acquisition of Andelasia due to common goals and intrests.

### Artifacts and relative stability (850-1143)

In 855, some artifacts relating to the ancient war were found. in 875, Meowscania joined the Goman League in order to avoid Chacyan fate. In 892, the Kerbali-Corodenian war starts so Meowscania along with the rest of the Goman League help Corda, and in 898, the war is over with the alliance being on the losing side. Soon at the start of the Xth Century Meownia started to have Kerbali migrators. In 913, Meowscania along with Corda didn't want to unite with the rest of the Goman League, so Meowscania along with Corda left. In 1092, Meownia decides to help Kerbali Capanilleans while supplying troops to help Corda win against Osmeans.

### More Warfare (1143-Now)

On 1143, Meowscania attacked Osmea to help their ally, only for Meownia's own capital to be bombed by Osmeans. It took 20 years for it to be rebuilt. On May 7th 1173 Meowscania officially declared war on Viaja. Many people were outraged but the Meowscanian President said it's for the better good of the country. In 1180 Meowscania realised that they don't need to use all of their equipment on the war so they reduced their use, Legua Mercantile exploited this by sending equipment to Viaja. Despite this Meowscania won on January 1st 1200 making Viaja a puppet region with plans to integrate it soon.

### History

In 368, Meownia was divided into 3 provinces, Snuistan, Scuca and Pabrionia. They were used as second-level administrative divisions during the Goman Empire.

By 502, Snuistan was broken up into Kirkwall, Ampleforth and Durnatel. Scuca was broken up into Orkney, Galssop and Alryne. Ascena was split into Espil, Oclea, Kucrye, Oflain, Oswus, Plana, Dethoria, Fespua, Askar, Uthea and Athua. Andelasia was split into Upsaria, Opron, Truotan and Hoshax.

By 568, 4 provinces were split in half to create 8 provinces. Andelasian divisions were reorganized that year too following the annexation of the rest of the island.

In 634, following the conquest of Anarchea, 12 new provinces were created.

By 672, Stoyria, Uthea and Askar were split.

By 700, Fespua and Epror were split too. Sumiyae was split too altrough western parts of the province went to the neighboring provinces of Thougua and Puclain.

By 800 Estrua was carved out of it's western neighbors. The tendency to split provinces was slowly reversing too as Berxley, Lewes and Mirefield were created from merging of two provinces in Ascena.

By 900 Plana and Uthea returned under different names. In Anarchea, Thussau and Daswad were split and the borders of Ogrines were redrawn.

By 1000 Dastaria and Thogua were split too. Oswus and Askar returned in Asecnia with different names too.
