## History

### Pre-Colonial Central Akrifa

The pre-colonial tribes of central akrifa stem from an estimated 1,067 different cultural groups with 1,738 distinct languages and 2,456 dialects. Much of the states of modern day Ebatu, Lofiki, Kambelo, Tsazia and Koh Taana were roamed by nomadic tribespeople, where the states of modern day N'Goloa, M'Walawewe, Obobeniniatu and Mlimakrifa were ruled by more established tribal kingdoms.

Small trade cities in the east became pitstops for Araucanían and Portorian explorers, establishing a trade link to Eporan in the mid 1400's

### Colonial Rule

In the early 1500's Cynedrycan settlers saw the utility and natural resources available in the Akrifan continent and started establishing small trade ports in the east settling farther and farther inland down the Tobo River. By the 1700's they had also established settlements in the north on Lake Viktoria, travelling south through the West Akrifan jungle to the north.

The Cynedrycans brought their culture and religion to the uncivilised kingdoms and tribes of Central Akrifa, as well as exotic diseases, and decimated more than 70% of the local population through active colonial rule as well as incidental spreads of diseases.

The Cynedrycan colonial rule ended in XXXX with the treaty of INSERT HERE XXXX. Establishing independent nations with borders drawn on a map by the colonisers.

### Formation

With the Independently established nations of N'Goloa, M'Walawewe, Obobeniniatu, Mlimakrifa, Ebatu, Lofiki, Kambelo, Tsazia and Koh Taana in XXXX by the Cynedrycans, provincial governments were set up with a largely Cynedrycan influence of governance. By 1925, the growth of the United Socialist Republics of Cynedryca prompted the Central Akrifan states of N'Goloa, Ebatu, Lofiki, M'Walawewe and Obobeniniatu to meet and come to the decision to form a Socialist alliance of Central Akrifan States. This new republic would be dubbed the Central Akrifan Peoples Republic of CAPR. In this meeting of leaders they discussed the economic downturn since the departation of the Cynedrycans and would have strong ties to the United Socialist Republics of Cynedryca. It was the obvious course of action for the nations to follow. They established a one party state under the rule of the Akrifan Workers Party (AWP).

### Growth

The CAPR saw relative success in the new Socialist regime and the states of Kambelo, Tsazia and Koh Taana joined the CAPR in 1934, 1936 and 1942 respectively. Mlimakrifa was released as an autonomous kingdom within the CAPR in 1939. Due to the underdeveloped nature of Koh Taana it was quickly reorganised into an autonomous region in 1943 in which local governing tribes were allowed to maintain local tribal councils as their governance. Likewaise at the formation of the CAPR, M'Walawawe was allowed to keep a king as its state represenative as long as they governed by the socialist rule laid forth by the initial meeting in Lashago.

### 1940's and 1950's

Since formation, the republic has grown massively in population. the 40's and 50's saw the CAPR driven further and further by communist policies that allowed infrastructure to boom, connecting the dispersed cities of the CAPR.
