History (Nation Roleplay)

## Pre-History

The records of this time are usually lost, far and few between. There is little/no evidence of this era, so there isn't a unified canon for for the ultimate background of the roleplay. However, individual players are able to submit their own proposals, and its the decision of each individual player to accept or reject the proposals as canon.

## DarkErminia's Proposal

In the far flung times of the far future, humanity had advanced to a Type 3 civilization. Humanity had colonized nearly every star, every planet, every moon within the Milky Way. The Human Empire had reached the height of its conquests, but even in this time there was conflict, after all of this time, mankind had not reconciled the demons within, and continued to battle for resources. For the Empire was a loose federation of the old nations, who had still not gotten over their old grudges.

Earth, even only as one world among many, was still the center of the universe. Its cities burrowed deep into the ground, covered the ocean seas, surfaces, and everything in between. And its skyscrapers stretched beyond the orbit of their native Moon, which had been incorporated into the greater Earth system itself. Even as humanity had colonized most of the galaxy, Earth alone still made up a quarter of the human population, and the Solar System one half.

The nations on Earth were as to the galaxy as Europe was to the world in the colonial era. Power concentrated into the Solar System, where nations created far flung empires and colonies stretching millions of worlds. Among these were the ancient great powers which existed on the Earth's surface, but many other Solar powers, especially the Martians and the Venusians had a stake in the delicate balance of power present, and were formidable powers in their own right.

But in the tragedy of history, man's nature became the better of itself, and conflict broke out once again, and the human empire shattered. Earth was destroyed in a war of catastrophic proportions between superpowers, along with a quarter of the human population, and the hive worlds of Venus and Mars became battlegrounds. With their colonial masters gone, the far flung colonies of mankind began fighting in a frenzied quagmire. With the central authority gone, and a rapidly opening power vacuum, it became every colony for itself.

There were nearly a trillion colonies at humanity's height, each with its own culture, history and story. And so began the great Human Diaspora, an event that continues to this day. For in the former shell of what was once the great Human Empire, the fallout of those before continues. This explains why there are human, or at least humanoid creatures everywhere, and can be used to justify nearly any cultural background by saying "it was a colony of X characteristics".

## The Yakutia Era

The dates are the real world equivalents of when these events happened, due to disagreement between time periods. However, time is implied to pass by much faster in the roleplay, though specific years are up to debate.

2019:

* June 17th - Rustmond's Arkships first land on Lapis, becoming the first civilizations to settle on the uninhabited world. (Except all of the native villager populations but we don't talk about them.)
* September 29th - Another group of settlers land on Lapis, creating the Yakutia civilization. Though largely dormant and isolationist now, they created a formidable civilization, and possesses a functioning Parliament and the somewhat famous Donut Hall.

2020:

* ~February - Many more waves of settlers arrive on Lapis and now, Oceania. These include Aridia Rinnata, Nova Alaska, Tadoiine, Bloodrock, Brimhaven and Sexland, and Crosslake Village. These early nations would become known as the founding civilizations, as they were the original civilizations which arose on Lapis.
* February 12th - Ancapistan Inc. is founded, immediately begins trying to evade taxes.
* February 28th - The United Nations was founded to better facilitate diplomatic talks between nations.
* February 29th to March 1st - **The First War** breaks out between Aridia Rinnata and Bloodrock, for reasons unknown. Sexland sides with Bloodrock and fights against Aridia Rinnata, though the war ends quickly.
* March 4th - Aridia Rinnata becomes the first of the founding civilizations to collapse, leading to a wave of refugees across Oceania. Refugees are taken in by Bloodrock, Sexland and Nova Alaska.
* March 8th - The Tadoiinite elections were rigged by Ancapistan, leading to the Libertarian party gaining 100% of the votes.
* March 18th - **The Lesser Plague**. A virus outbreak from Bloodrock becomes a global problem as it spread across borders. Though overall its effect is minor.
* March 21st - Pakuwon declares war on Nova Alaska, in what is the first major war in recorded history. Though this goes nowhere, and has yet to be resolved due to lack of peace treaty.
* March 25th - The nation of New Vovo is created, along with the nation of Sandia.
* March 31st - The Homeowner's Association is created, which immediately leaks evil into the world.
* April 4th - Global warming becomes an issue in Oceania, as the ice caps begin melting, flooding the nations of Tadoiine and Bloodrock. Many measures are put into place to stall the rising oceans.
* April 13th - Rustmond begins a global initiative to colonize space, and start the creation of the very first space stations.
* April 21st - Rustmond invades and bombs the shit out of a random village with oil, citing "protecting democracy" as a casus belli. They shortly plumb the entire area for oil shortly afterwards.
* April 22nd - **The Bloody Banquet Incident**, an invitation of several world leaders to Bloodrock results in a massacre as Bloodrock massacres all of the world leaders present. Rustmond and several nations declare war shortly afterwards, kicking off the Banquet Wars.
* April 23rd to May 20th - **The Banquet Wars** are fought to a stalemate between Rustmond and Bloodrock, as neither is able to overpower the other. A white peace is signed.
* ~May - Sometime before this time, the remnants of Aridia Rinnata are absorbed into Brimhaven.
* June 2nd - Pakuwon declares war on Nova Alaska. Formal fighting would not begin until later, however.
* June 6th - **Bloodrock collapses** as a direct result from the exhaustion from the Banquet Wars. Either that or some idiot left their sink running and the entire city flooded due to poor infrastructure planning.
* June 6th - Nova Alaska's economy undergoes hyperinflation, as it tried bidding, and I quote, "20 googol dollars" on a McNuke, causing them to print money, leading to hyperinflation which completely spirals out of control. Mentodia is founded.
* June 8th - The Pakuwon-Nova Alaska war rapidly escalates as Brimhaven and Tadoiine sides with Nova Alaska, and Rustmondian arms begins pouring into both nations. This is commonly cited as the start of the **First Great War**. Later part of the larger **Yakutia Crisis**.
* June 9th - Rustmond is forced into the war by Pakuwon.
* June 15th - **The Pakuwon genocide happens**, becoming the first genocide in recorded history, as the Tadoiinites commit war crimes against the Pakuwonians. They apologize at a later date.
* June 15th - Unrest begins building in Rustmond as the executive is impeached and the legislative is being purged for corruption. War exhaustion, corruption and general lack of goods and services destabilizes the nation. This is frequently known as the Rustmond Crisis, as over 99% (99.98%) of people begin calling for re-elections after widespread evidence of voter fraud on both sides of the political isle is uncovered.
* June 15th - Worsecomp is founded.
* June 16th - The Rustmond Crisis Worsens as the Mother of All Storms or MOAB storm begins tearing into Rustmondian infrastructure, making an already bad situation worse. The First Great War continues, as global warming begins wreaking havoc on Lapis. The situation is officially declared a global crisis, as the economy nosedives. Blackouts occur all over Rustmond as storms intensify.
* June 19th - Socialist movements begin gaining traction in Rustmond, Communist movements surge in popularity, and revolt against Pakuwon, making an bad situation somehow even worse. The Crisis continues across all nations.

June 20th, 2020, "The Day that will live on in infamy"

* During June 20th, 2020, peace was nearly signed between Pakuwon and Nova Alaska, with Nova Alaska surrendering its land to Pakuwon and ending the war. However, before they could, the leader of Pakuwon was assassinated with a virus. The Winter Bloc was created between Nova Alaska and Pakuwon as a alliance to counter the major powers. The same day, the BFT-19 virus, the one which poisoned the Pakuwonese leader begins spreading throughout the world.
* June 21st - Peace is de-facto declared, though no peace treaty was ever signed. Many historians call this the **end of the First Great War**, though the Yakutian Crisis continues as tensions rise.
* June 22nd - Tensions rise between Rustmond and Worsecomp, as Worsecomp acquires many nations such as Sandia, Mentodia and Pakuwon. This is thought to be the start of the **Yakutian Cold War**. Rustmond joins the Winter Pact, and the world becomes a showdown between Worsecomp and the Winter Pact.
* July 7th - Tensions finally boil over in Rustmond, and the **Rustmondian Civil War** begins between the Rustmondian national government and a revolutionary coup. The overthrow of the government by socialist revolutionaries marks the start of the Rustmondian Civil War. Shortly afterwards, the socialist government is opposed by a reactionary movement known as CERD, or the Council to Ensure Rustmondian Democracy. The military forms a military dictatorship to the West, and the city is quickly divided into a three way civil war. The Rustmond Crisis hits its boiling point.
* July 14th - The Yakutian Crisis finally comes to a head. The combined ecological, political and economic disasters have become too much for the world to bear. Almost all nations collapse in the disaster. Both Lapis and Oceania collapse into chaos. **The Yakutia Era comes to an end**.

## The Aurora Era

As the Yakutian nations perished in flames and strife, civilization began on another world. On the planet on the other side of the sun, or counter-planet of Lapis and Oceania, the world of Arolep began establishing itself.

2020:

* August 8th - The nation of Cemulu becomes the first on Arolep, establishing itself as a trade empire within the oceans. It is a fascist dictatorship.
* August 13th - The Nakarian Empire would rise as another trader empire on Arolep.

## The Liberland Era

2020:

* October 1st - **The Yakutian nations recover after almost a decade of constant strife**. CERD won out in the Rustmondian civil war, planning on joining Worsecomp. But with the complete collapse of nearly every government, it found itself one of the first poking its head through the ashes of the catastrophe. Ancapistan had survived, but barely, rebranding itself as an interstellar mining corporation to survive. The fragile new coexistence the three worlds found each other in made relations uneasy for the first few days. Worsecomp comes out of hiding and resurrects itself. The State of Rhine renames itself into the Teufort Federation.
* October 5th - The Azapians create the colony of Zeijasti.
* October 31st - Torvaeth is founded as a pirate hub.
* December 3rd - Rustmond and Azap make an uneasy, though friendly first contact, which would eventually usher in a diplomatic relationship that would last through the ages.

* December 5th - Mentodia constructs a military base named Champia to begin combating the Heywen threat.
* December 7th - Rustmond allies with Azap to combat Heywena, forming the United Coalition.
* December 12th - Rustmond evacuates the people of Mentodia to Lapis via warp technology. The battle of Champia occurs, and Champia is left a land of irradiated ash by the Heywen glassing. Researchia Village is also created by the Willion Kingdom at the time. On this day, an unknown asteroid impact would impact Researchia village, creating the Simulbine.
* December 12th - **The Battle of Bloodrock** occurs between Rustmond and Heywen. Using (or abusing) warp technology, they were able to decimate the Heywen fleet, as well as infect the Heywen homeworld with the Kaytower superweapon, which led to the widespread collapse of the Heywen Empire. Warp jammers were quickly made a thing so warp technology could never be abused the same way ever again.
* December 14th - Inferno Village is founded, it would soon become the new capital of the Willion Kingdom due to its rapid growth.
* December 16th - The Reich is founded.
* December 17th - The Kapayuh Confederation is discovered deep within the Warp, or the Nether, or Hell. BlackRust begins construction. The Northern Republic of Timaeus is reborn.
* December 20th - The Dwarven Empire, or Rodhage is founded, presumably from the refugees from Bloodrock's collapse, or perhaps completely independent of Bloodrock.

2021:

* January 9th - Rustmond is taken over by the Children of Rallah, and transforms into a theocratic militaristic dictatorship.
* January 16th - Rustmond receives several ships full of refugees of Dutch, English, and various other ethnic backgrounds. They claim to be descendants of a nation called "New Amsterdam", which they said was a loyal ally of Rustmond in the pre-Exodus period.
