## History

### Colonial Period (1611- 185?)

#### Early colonization

The colonization of Catsbourg began in 1611 with the founding of the first Kruhastan settlement in Catsbourg in 1611. This settlement was Cavtat, located in southeastern Randia. It was chosen due to its proximity to Eggdog and Himegiite settlements for trading, and for its ideal harbor and easily defensible terrain. Throughout the following years the Kruhastans spread their trading empire in Catsbourg establishing trading posts and settlements across Randéa, Kratafalita, Domóptica, and some in other parts of mainland Catsbourg.

In 1695 the first Czunglish settlers arrived in Catsbourg, establishing their first permanent settlement at Nuevelle Araszeg on the northern side of Kratafalita. The Czunglish continued their colonization of Catsbourg, establishing many settlements over the following decades, including Hasztoréa, Nuevelle Kauton, Kikoto (across from modern day Pérta di Mackal), Riviera, Randéa, and many, many more. In 1695 a historical meeting took place in Pérta di Mackal, where Notogiite settlers, Czunglishn settlers, and Eggdogs met to have a grand feast. shortly after this feast a misunderstanding between Czunglish and Notogiite settlers sparked a small regional war, which saw the Eggdogs lend some support to the Notogiites, and after a few years of war, the **Notogiite-Psypobreznesa Czunglish War of 1695** came to an end, and the Czunglish' influence was curbed in the region (Psypobreznesa is the name of the Eggdogish tribe inhabiting modern day Catborgito and northern Hapsburg).

### Early Independence (185?- 19??)

#### The War of Independence

In 1841, as the Led Eteijer war raged between the Notogiite Empire and the Czungerik, vastly increased taxes, fighting in Catsbourg, and drafting into both armies led to major unrest and in 1842 tensions reached their boiling point when the MLC (Militantio di Liberazión Catborgez) raided a Notogiite garrison in Papaville, Catborgito. over the next nine years the war raged on, with Notogiite forces finally being pushed out of Catsbourg at the **Battle of Scituaño** in may of 1851. At the battle, Notogiite forces surrendered to the MLC, and with the Led Eteijer war having recently come to a close the Notogiite empire ceded its Kanitan territory to Catsbourg. Catsbourg was also officialy ceded Northern Randéa, northern Hapsborgo, and all fo Estcresto as the revolution had spread to those territories as well, and the Czunglish were in no position to fight off Catbourgish militias.

#### Early Democracy

in 1855, after the dust had finally settled, the **Catbourgish Constitution** was written, and a parliament was formed under former general Josip Aurelius Ferriño, who became the first Grand Duke of Catsbourg, and is the widely recognized founder of the Catbourgish state. After 30 years of his rule, during which Catsbourg saw the establishment of countless government agencies, economic prosperity, and the beginning of the Catbourgish industrial revolution around 1870, Josip died peacefully in his home of natural causes at 81 years old in 1885.

### Civil war (2037-2042)

The 2nd Catbourgish Civil War began on the Ides of March 2037 after a failed coup attempt by **Benito Scarponi** and the Nationalists. The war lasted over four years and ended with the **Treaty of San Felines** In late 2042.

### Scarponiist era (2042- )

The **Scarponiist** **Era** began in late 2042 with the end of the 2nd Catbourgish Civil War after the signing of the **Treaty of San Felines** and the ascension of **Benito Scarponi** and the **PNC** (Partazo Nasijonlista di Catborgo) as the sole power in control of Catsbourg.

## Government

The **Sovereign Nation of Catsbourg** is a Chancellorial autocracy (the only Ulinian nation with this form of government) headed by **Chancellor Scarponi** and **Vice Chancellor Viorno Stakonor**. Catsbourg is divided into 9 provinces, and is only partially democratic, with the chancellor holding power with few restraints.
