## History

Since thousands of years ago, the main island of the country has been inhabited by ducks. Through a long amount of time, the ducks soon grew more intelligent, thus creating a large community nowadays called the *Ancient Duckland*. It was an advanced civilization, surpassing other ancient countries' technology levels.

But soon it was invaded and took over by a stronger country, the *Chickenic Dynasty*. It was taken over for more than two thousand years. The chickens made reforms and tried to advance the civilization on the island even more, educate the ducks to learn the main language of the dynasty, *Chickenic*. It taught how to make silk, how to make catapults to protect from outsiders, built large trading routes across the island to tie the people's bond together. It was going well, as the dynasty is making the island wealthier. But it soon came to an end as the final kings of the dynasty became corrupt and forced people to do what they want. The ducks, with advanced weapons, revolted. They kicked the corrupted dynasty out of the island, which will lead to the collapse of the dynasty that once ruled over them. The people established a new dynasty called the *Early Kvack Dynasty*, named after the leader's clan. It will then kickstart a new era of peace throughout the island. As the Kvack Dynasty collapses, a new one is built, securing the people together.

The fifth dynasty, the *Late Kvack Dynasty*, opened trade routes with other nations, making the country even wealthier to which lead to the First Golden Age of Duckland. It advanced in art, literature and many other categories. The economy skyrocketed, and the country kept it that way for 3 more dynasties, until it was colonized by the *Gawk Empire*.

The Gawks crippled the economy of the island, creating a large famine that killed over 3 million ducks and geese. People revolted, but none of them succeeded. Their hatred for the Gawk government piled up, and soon, they started to join a small party, called the *Socialist Party of Gawk Empire*, which renamed itself into the *United Peoples Bloc of Geese and Ducks*. The other party, the National Chicken Party, hated the communists, knowing that it was full of geese and ducks, or as they called, the "lower life form".

Eventually, at 12:00 in the morning of February 26th, 1984, the United Peoples Bloc of Geese and Ducks declared independence, creating the People's Republic of Duckland. The National Chicken Party sprung into action, wanting to preserve the empire's control over what is now known as Cluck Island. They fought ferociously, battling over every single acre of land. Thousands were killed as a result of the heavy gunfire. The ducks and geese gained control of some cities, but were often inflicted with heavy casualties. The chickens attempted to attack the communists using guerrilla warfare but failed miserably due to the fact they wore bright uniforms.

Finally, the rebels were offered help by *Mooland* and soon they started gaining victories. With Mooland's supplies, Duckland's army broke through the chicken defense lines. The chickens attacked, but to no avail. When winter came, both sides settled in for spring to come. During that time, the Duckland army prepared for the final offensive, plan VNG (Velocity, North, Group). Spring came, and Duckland attacked. The offensive caught the chickens off-guard, as the army storm through the frozen grounds that are beginning to thaw. They defeated the chickens and captured many prisoners. But the leader and many other high titles of the nationalist party fled to a island far from the communist country before the military could capture them. Duckland gained sovereignty and controlled a few more islands outside the main one (renamed Duck Island). The new government made more reforms and were back on the world leaderboard, officially making the Second Golden Age of Duckland.

Two decades after the geese and ducks won, a rebellion started at one of Duckland's important cities. The rebels called themselves "*Avatakia*" and won against the unprepared Duckland soldiers. Soon, the army was forced to siege the city. Around that time, a research found out that the rebels origin is from their chicken rival. Meanwhile, Avatakian rebels committed mass murdering of Duckland's people and destroyed hundreds of small villages. But the siege came to an end as the new duck army counterattacked the rebellion. The rebels were encircled and were forced to surrender. The rebellion was a devastating blow to the country. Hundreds of Thousands were killed or injured. The rebels also destroyed a lot of farms, making a small famine in the southeast region.

Another 10 years passed by since the rebellion, and there was peace throughout the country but one day, Avatakia struck again. This time, it has higher technology that the last one, and were obliterating the ducks and geese army although they are well prepared. The rebels sent an ultimatum to Duckland's government, demanding to gain control of the government. Chairman of Duckland during that time, Anthropov Quackley, refused. So the rebels created their own country called Republic of Duckland in order to try gaining the support of the people. It was a failure but they weren't ready to give up and they choose their second option: propaganda. That one worked well, and 36% of Duckland's citizens betrayed their country and joined the enemy. Soon, the island was divided yet again, as the nationalist South Duckland clashes with the former government of Duckland, now North Duckland. During that time there were a few breakaway states that believed the propaganda. But they were weak so the North was able to retake them. The North-South border is along the the two grand rivers of Duckland and through the Destiny Mountains. Large conflicts occurred along this border and passed through many villages. The most populous one is called the Quyram village, which is the most religious village in the entire country. Every single ducks and geese in that village either follows Quackism or Honkism. It is also the village that had one of the harshest fighting since the people in there are divided between joining the North or South. Winter came again, the Northern army dug in but the South didn't. They have planned a giant offensive and they are about to break through. But the problem is the winter of 2014 is so cold that most of the Southern army either froze in the cold or died of hunger. By the time spring came, South Duckland's armies are exhausted while the North is ready to fight. Knowing that the North has the advantage, Communist Duckland's generals launched an attack on the South. Most of the Southern army flanks surrendered or joined the Northern army during their campaign. The Southern capital, Pharmacopolis, was captured just two months after the attack started. The Republic of Duckland's president officially surrendered to the communists and was captured. It took two more days to stop the remaining soldiers who were still fighting. It was the bloodiest war in Duckland's history, with over 2.5 million civilian deaths and over 1 million deaths to the army. Millions were injured as the South bombed the Northern cities. This will officially end Chickenia's want to control Duckland and it's resources. The fall of Pharmacopolis was the pinnacle of Duckland's strength and also a new page in Duckland's 4 thousand years history.
