## History

### Foundation

Rena was Founded in 1948, Although, not a lot of Rena before 1948 has survived, Neither after it. Rena was settled allegedly Lifannians and Flanderians. It did get Land from Byzantium in the south after the Lifannian-Makedonian war, due to being an ally of Lifannia.

It was involved in the rat people war Yugoslavia was in, but its involvement is questionable. During the Corsician genocide, a plane landing with Corsicians landed in Rena forcefully, drawing in controversy.

### Coup and Renian-Byzantine war

In 1979, A coup against the democratic government succeeded, and a Monarchy was installed, with Jegor Smirnow as King. However, Lifannia started militarising the Border with Rena due to the coup.

The Monarchy was not in power for long however, because in 1980 Byzantium Declared war on Rena to get back its former Territories Rena gained from the Lifannian-Makedonian War. Silesia joined to support Rena, which made Lifannia joined Against Silesia, and thus, against Rena. Byzantium advanced from the south, burning villages and capturing southern cities, Whilst the Lifannian Divisions went for Qen. Rena Capitulated after the fall of Qen.

After the War, Lifannia and Byzantium Split Rena, With Byzantium getting around 75% of the Renian Land.

#### Under Byzantium and Lifannia, and Independence

Rena ceased to exist for only 6 years, as in 1986 Lifannia united with Yare Yare, triggering International Condemnation, Making Lifannia be split apart. Rena was Freed as a result, but with its capital, Qen missing, without sea access, and without the vast majority of its land. Rena's territory was never smaller than this, missing around 85% of its pre-war land.

### Modern History

Rena was on EU's side in the GGDL-EU crisis, but got sea access due to a deal with GGDL. Rena never was gonna join a war though, but supported EU as much as possible. After the fall of EU, Rena never joined any other international orginisation, other than UN in the 90s, and remained without its Capital Qen.

in 2011, the Government of Rena applied to join the Lifannian Empire, which at this point also had Brazil join. Rena Joined as a special region, which was renamed to Autonomous in 2012. Recently, Lifannia Struck a deal in which the Region of Qen, the Former capital of Rena, in total 2 provinces (Qen, Jasai), were brought back to Rena. This made the Lifannian Government achieve massive outpour of support, with Antanas Smetona's Approval ratings reaching 90%, before evening out to 75%, the highest in any Region. Rena is currently "Re-renaficating" the regained Lands, and reconstructing.
