## History

The Tsardom of Czekonovka boasts a rich and captivating history, marked by pivotal events that have shaped its development and influenced its relations with neighbouring tribes. One such event occurred when a neighbouring tribe, driven by a desire to claim new territory after losing their own land, this led to an attempt to seize the sacred mountain of the Czekovian people.

### **Year 100 BCF:**

A key part in the Czekonovka history is the three tribes that came together to form the nation. Before the nation though these tribes had different histories and they are as following:

#### Vostrovkan Tribe:

The Vostrovkan Tribe traces its roots to a time when the land was inhabited by a large family led by the elder of the Vostrovski family. Living in harmony with the land, the Vostrovski family explored the surrounding areas for resources. During one of these explorations, a member of the family encountered another tribe, sparking curiosity about their way of life.

#### Czekovian Tribe:

The Czekovian Tribe has its origins in the adventurous spirit of a member of the Czekovski family. While exploring the vast lands surrounding their mountainous home, a Czekovski encountered the neighbouring Vostrovkan Tribe. Inspired by the organization and sense of community he witnessed, he returned to his family with a vision of transforming their mountain and its environs into a united and strong tribe.

#### Ostrovkan Tribe:

The Ostrovkan Tribe originated from the Ostrovski family, who observed the success of the Czekovian Tribe in forming a united front. Recognizing the benefits of tribal cooperation, the Ostrovski family decided to establish their own independent tribe. They cultivated their land and developed a unique identity rooted in the values of independence and self-sufficiency.

### **Year 001 BCF:**

#### **The Failed Colonization Attempt**

In an audacious attempt to colonize new lands, an unknown yet aggressive tribe launched an assault on the Czekovian tribe, who resided on top of a mountain range. However, the Czekovians, known for their military strength and resource, were well-prepared to defend their homeland.

The mountainous terrain granted the Czekovians a significant advantage, enabling them to effectively and quickly kill the attackers by using the high ground to shoot down upon them. The invaders were swiftly defeated, their aspiration of colonization shattered in the face of the Czekovians great defence.

### **Year 000 BCF:**

#### **The Czekovians Deception and Alliances**

Seizing upon their resounding victory, the Czekovians saw an opportunity to strengthen their position and protect their lands. They formed a great strategy to manipulate the fear and vulnerability of neighbouring tribes, who, although possessing large territories, were weakened by their limited military capabilities.

The Czekovians skilfully created rumours among the surrounding tribes, insinuating that they would be the attackers next target unless they joined forces with the Czekovians. Recognizing the imminent threat of invasion and their own vulnerable circumstances, the Vostrovkan Tribe and the Ostrovkan Tribe, was fearing that this may be true and ultimately giving in to the pressure and made the final decision to join the Czekovians.

The union with the Vostrovkan and Ostrovkan tribes proved mutually beneficial. The weaker tribes was in need of protection and security against potential aggression, while the Czekovians gained valuable land, strengthening their military might and expanding their influence over the region.

#### **Legacy and Impact**

The successful defence of their sacred mountain not only solidified the Czekovians control over their ancestral lands but also established their reputation as formidable defenders. The alliances with the Vostrovkan and Ostrovkan tribes laid the foundation for the expansion and consolidation of the Tsardom of Czekonovka.

Over time, the Tsardom of Czekonovka grew in strength and prominence, becoming a dominant force in the region. The events surrounding the failed colonization attempt and the subsequent alliances served as a turning point in Czekovian history, shaping the nation's future trajectory and interactions with neighbouring tribes.

#### Land Expansion:

As the nation was formed the tribes decided to claim extra bits of land which involved the Zelenčín island in the sea north of Czekovska and the Malostravná strip south of the Ostrovka region.

### Year 020 PCF:

#### Death of Tsar Nikolai Czekovski I

In the late hours of a fateful night, alarming reports within the royal family regarding the swift deterioration of the former Tsar's health, leaving little hope for his survival. Responding quickly to this sudden situation, the son of the late Tsar rushed to the bedside of the dying son. In the midst of the sudden decline, the late Tsar, acknowledging the gravity of the situation, entrusted his legacy to his son, declaring Nikolai Czekovski II as the heir to the throne. A shock filled the room as the late Tsar, having conveyed his last wishes, went into sudden unconsciousness, and soon led to them passing away.

#### Nikolai Czekovski II assumed Tsar:

Following the death of his father, Nikolai Czekovski II became the assumed Tsar of Czekonovka. This was confirmed in a speech which he had made to the public not only revealing the news of the late Tsar's death but also revealing his rise to the throne. Nikolai Czekovski II also announced the construction of the Czekovska Castle in which the coronation will take place to officially crown the new Tsar.

### Year 021 PCF:

#### Land expansion:

Discontent began to rise among the neighbouring tribes towards the Tsardom. The reason of their discontent started from the decision made by the new Tsar to halt funding to the neighbouring tribes as it was a waste of national resources and there was no benefit received from it as the previous Tsar only game temporary economic assistance without any clause or benefit for the Tsardom. However, the dissatisfaction amongst the neighbouring tribes was added onto by the fact that Nikolai Czekovski II had not yet been officially crowned as Tsar. Consequently, the tribes perceived him as an assumed leader rather than the recognized and legitimate ruler of the nation despite Nikolai Czekovski II was the heir to the throne, their reason is because the coronation had not yet taken place.

Pushed by a sense of neglect and wanting to receive economic assistance again, the tribes patience had run thin and now broke. Being desperate for what the tribes called justice and the desire to reclaim their land, they made a bold decision to launch an attack. Their hope was to seize control of the land and replace the Tsar with a new leader who would favour the tribes and restore the economic assistance which was temporary agreed upon before. Despite their attempts, the tribes had lost and ended up losing their land to the Tsardom of Czekonovka, with suspicion of an uprising by the remaining tribe members, Tsar Czekovski II had ordered for their execution which removed all traces of the attacking tribes within that land.
