## History

### Before 3000 BFL

(BFL: **B**efore **F**oundation of **L**urich)

There is limited archaeological evidence of the first peoples who inhabited modern-day Lurich, but it is believed that around 8500 BFL, the first group of migrating tribal peoples settled down just northeast of modern-day Actis, on the Dytican Coastline. They called the place Lúria, and themselves, the Lurians. For the next 5000 years they used the abundant resources of the area to quickly advance, and grew a thriving society though still relatively unadvanced compared to other nations in other parts of the world. During this time the Lurian tribes were formed, splitting off from one another. Each one developing slightly different cultures, beliefs and build styles.

### 3000 BFL to 0 BFL

The Lurian tribes continued to advance during this time at a rapid rate with 7 main tribes appearing. These were:

* The Spheina tribe based in the fertile lands north of the dark oak forrest.
* The Dytis tribe based in the Horseshoe mountain range
* The Ridgehall tribe based on the "Island" of Ridgehall
* The Tarentae tribe based on the Hostantium Peninsula
* The Tommish tribe based in the Swamp Plains (would later branch out and become the Grand Dutchy of Tommland)
* The Sakarum tribe based in the northern lands of Sakarum
* The Verbanus tribe based around lake Verbanus

These tribes would all slowly diversify from one another but apart from the Tommish tribe all of them remained obviously Lurian. Throughout the next 3000 years the Lurian tribes all continued to advance and grow with the Spheina tribe advancing considerably faster then the rest due to their fertile lands allowing for the growth of large amounts of food which could sustain their growing population with the rest of the tribes being forced to hunt and gather. In 400 BFL Spheina's rapid advance reach its peak when it set up a democratic system, becoming the first properly functioning nation of the Lurians

## Government System and Politics

### Provincial System

The Republic consists of (currently) 4 core provinces. Each province has different members, cultures, lore and builds.

The 4 Core Provinces are:

* **Lurichia (Capital Province)**
* **Sakarum**
* **Spheina**
* **Tarentae**

Each province is ruled and managed by a Governor, who is elected every month. They oversee the running of their province and serve their people, organising events, etc. (The only exception to this is the Capital Province, which the elected Consul is given rule over when they are elected by the people of the Republic.) Provinces are free to make businesses and sell things to other provinces, so if you have a resource be sure to make good use of it by selling to the other provinces! To join a province, just ping its Governor and ask to join, they will add you to the province's category/chat. Coords, builds, and other info for those provinces will be in there!
