## History

The city of Birsa itself, the center of the A.R.B is believed to has first been populated by ancient Soggas around 20.000 B.F. The soggas who would populate modern day Birsa established a settlement believed to have been named ''Soggiania'' after the ancient Sogga god of Siggianus of the Sun. The name was propabably given due to the city's high temperatures. Around 5.200 BF Soggiania would be colonised by Flapedonian Freeks, soon been renamed to Flopius. After the city was granted to Boursias of Bingthynia in 202 BF it was named Boursa.

The city would be populated by binguses from 202 BF till the split of the Bingus Empire after which most of it's population would migrate to Crimea and Flopantinople.

With the establishment of the Flyzantine empire the city would be repopulated by Floppas. During the times of the Flyzantine empire the city of Birsa would become prosperous thanks to it been close to Flopantinople and other port citities. During the times of the Flyzantines the city would be named **Birsa** by Emperor Bingius of the Flyzantine empire in 903 A.F.

The city of Birsa after it's conquest by the Floppotomans in 1326 it's Freek residents would flee, allowing for the Empire to repopulate with Flopks. Only a very small amount of Freeks would stay in the entire area around the Marmara. The city would also be made the Floppotoman Capital until 1456.

The modern day region of Birsa would see a decline from the 17th century as many people migrated to Flopantinople and Flyrni. The region around Birsa before it's incorparation into Freece can be charactarised as a declining region, whith it been left back from infastracture till new ideas comming from Europe.

After the Treaty of Flerves in 1918 the region would become a part of Freece. From 1918 till 1923 the region was under military occupation as the Interantional Zone of Birsa, while the city itself would be held by Flopkish Flopmalist rebeles from 1919 till 1922. The city of Birsa would be the fighting ground for the Siege of Birsa. After the end of the Flopkish Wars the region would be formally incorparated as the Duchy Of Birsa.

The duchy of Birsa would last from 1923 till 1965. After the 1965 Floppaslavian Embassy Bombing by the Flopkish Insurgeant Army the Parliament of Freece was forced to reform Birsa from a duchy without any autonomy to a fully autonomous region, with powers simillar to Sogg Kong within Great sogtain. After the 1967 Coup d'etat and establishment of the National State Of Freece the region despite been populated by Flopks would not be targeted by Fleorgios Flapadopoylos's nationalist policices, mostly thanks to UF pressure . After the end of the Freek Junta the Region would be reformed into a fully democratic autnomous region, with it's own Legislative, Defence force and System.
