Ethensia

### Overview

   The United federal commonwealth of Ethensia (Burodan: Kpahud fūrãvò manāka ko Ethensiani) is an island nation in Coyphus and the second largest island on the exoplanet. Ethensia has a population of 6 million, it’s two capitals being Carlton Capitol and Samigbayo.

#### History

It’s 6 BC, and conditions on the Coyphusian continent of Vowes were harsh. The tribe leader, Katō-Katō Buroda decides for a long voyage up north. As the Ethensian mainland was still part of Vowes, after months long walk they finally made it to a place which today is Samigbayo. Soon civilisation spread around the whole island and after years of tribal war between every group on the island, in 18 AD, all the tribes agreed to unite in one.

#### Age of colonisation

In 1657 Burodans discovered a crashed Radnorian ship with no survivors.

The next month, Radnorian rescue ships arrived only to find out that, “Hey, his land isn’t owned by anyone!”

So Radnorians began the age of colonisation. Of course when the ships arrived, Dirān Mobo, famous for killing Mathon Lucklas during the battle of Surrengia, ordered his men to attack the incoming Radnorian troops.

With the battle ending in Burodan victory, the Radnorians didn’t return till next year, when the real colonisation began.

Within months Radnorians took full control over the land.

#### Execution of Jake Mosil and the Burodan revolution (1885-1896)

   The year was 1799, and Radnorians had just captured famous poem writer, Jake Mosil.

His poems managed to cause rebellion in other Radnorian colonies, such as Evabo, which started revolting in 1797. Jake was sentenced to death via firing squad.

His last words were “E’oko, uj naisa loa ish dre dasi”.

Years later, 1885. Radnorians have discovered a secret anti-colonial rebel group named the “Ethensiani nyodom paikīki”.

The Radnorians were angry and set up a bounty of £10,000 on the ENP leader, Bigraya Mai’s head.

But, the ENP wasn’t gonna let this happen.

Nor were they gonna let their society be ruled by Radnor any longer.

On the 17th of January, 1885, the revolutionaries ripped little prints of the Radnorian flag in half, and with Bigraya’s cutlass shined through the afternoon, he shouted words that would mark the start of the first Ethensian/Burodan revolution.

“Tūkabu!” Red flags with the Burodan character versions of “N F H” waved swiftly as rifle shots were heard throughout the air.

With the first battle being a victory of ours, we continued fighting until 1896, when we thought we were free..

But we were sold to Norland.

#### Ethensian-Norlandic war (1896-1911)

On the 16th of December 1896, just a week after the end of the revolution, Ethensian citizens marched in with a petition for independence. The protest lasted 4 hours, until Norlandic police opened fire on the protesters. This sparked the Ethensian-Norlandic war.

The first battle of the war was the battle of Dimilia hill. Ethensian nationalists and veterans of the revolution drove out Norlandic troops from the hill, and while the Norlandics were retreating the Ethensians set up a camp, while other troops fired at the runaway enemies.

   A day later Ethensian troops stormed Carlton Capitol and attacked guards at the Norlandic Colonial Government House of Ethensia (NCGHE). Having killed many Norlandic politicians visiting their new colony, they later threw bombs and burnt down the NCGHE building. The Norlandic governor of Ethensia declared the revolutionaries as “terrorists”, and had decided to fight back.

A few years later, in 1911, Ethensia surrendered, ending the war, resulting in Norlandic victory.

#### The Great Coyphusian War (1951-1963)

In 1951 the Dashian empire invaded Warpona, starting a bloody world war.

In 1954, Ethensia was invaded by Dashia, bringing chaos and destruction to the land. The citizens of Ethensia were forced to live in fear and uncertainty as Dashia sought to expand its territories. However, in 1960, Norland and Radnor, two powerful countries, joined forces to liberate Ethensia from Dashia's control. The victory over Dashia was a momentous event, and the citizens of Ethensia celebrated the return of peace and security. May this event be a reminder of the importance of unity and the courage to stand up against oppression. After this Norland agreed to give Ethensia back to Radnor.

#### The revolution of the colonies (1965-1990)

After the end of the war, in 1965 Radnor’s queen Margaret III died of old age. Her reign was replaced with a new, really spoiled, dictatorial king by the name of Peter I.

As at that time the the monarch leader also had control over the country, he started to introduce a policy in which only white people could enter.

Many kids were separated due to the colour of their skin, but it was the Ethensians/Burodans who were treated the worst.

Peter believed that original Radnorians were higher then the natives of it’s colonies.

So, in areas such as Vendilia, Syrista, The blue islands, Brodaston, and Ethensia, natives of that area were arrested for false accusations of selling illegal drugs and more.

In Ethensia, they couldn’t take it anymore.

So could the rest of Radnor’s colonies.

On the 6th of June, 1965, Ethensian revolutionaries attacked Carlton Capitol, marking the start of the revolution.

Over time, all of Radnor started to revolt. What started as a small attack grew wide around the nation, with Norland, Minia and Galdest helping us too.

On the first of 12th of August, 1990, Peter I was captured and commit suicide while in jail awaiting his sentence.

On the 23rd of August, 1990, all of the colonies who fought were given independence, marking this day as “Freedom from Peter day” (Burodan: Nyodom frowq Peter dwen”).
