## The History of Katerina

#### Katero-Sarian Nomads (~2000 BCE to 300 BCE)

When Humanity was first exploring the world, a small ethnic group known now as the Proto-Katerinans/Katero-Sarians began moving into what is now Katerina, settling there and herding cattle and goats. They would be known as a peaceful group of nomads, hardly ever getting into conflict, but as the 5th Century BCE came to a close, they would split into two and become the Katerinans and the Sarians and develop their own countries

#### Principality of Katerograd (300 BCE to 678 CE)

The Principality of Katerograd formed shortly after the Katero-Sarian ethnic split, as it was the first ethnic Katerinan State and the official predecessor of Modern Katerina, not much is known about the Principality, except for the last few years when the Katrona Dynasty took over and became the Tsardom of Katerina

The Tsardom of Katerina became one of the major nations in the world from around 1700 CE, Beating out the weak Sarian Empire at the battle of Tarakya (Now Taratova) Placing themselves as a major regional rival to both the Fledgling Rastanzian Empire and the Nialan Empire,
