Being the largest country of Scorpertonia, it provides a wide and diverse variety of wildlife with ecosystems to match, fit snugly on the Alazar Rainforest, which constitutes at least 35% of the total landmass of the country. Quaho currently neighbours Bliere and Ijian on the northwestern portions, with Magnaora and Krajna to the southern and southwestern portions respectively. The 227 million Quarese People all live in a landmass of approximately 3.26 million mi2.

## History

### **Pre-Historic History (20000 BCE - 6000 BCE)**

The history of the Quarese people can be traced all the way to around 20000 BCE when some tribesmen have went to migrate on what's now Yetaffia (link added soon) to onwards more southern or eastern areas (now modern-day Sehni and Kahar Regions) where some of these tribesmen have founded society of their own terms mainly building shelters around trees or plains. These same tribesmen would find themselves fighting each other for power and/or a sense of belonging to a partner, with now is the foundation of several martial arts invented by Quarese individuals.

It was not long until one of the tribesmen who lead one of the many small city-states accidentally carved a human on stones, which became a paveway into making the first hieroglyphics in existence where a writing system began to take form. These same city-states would become small coastal kingdoms with the notion of boosting such writing systems. Moreover, some people would then move away westwards to the Iplun River where one of the many first traces of Quarese writing were in leafs. This particular findings themselves found the Iplar Civilization. Kahar, Eltimid, Yetaffid and Sehni civilization would then follow for the concluding years thanks to this writing system.

### **Pre-Colonial History** **(5999 BCE - 1000 BCE)**

These civilizations of the Kahar, Iplar, Eltimid, Sehni and Yetaffids began to start separately beginning with the Kahars when a man named 'Kavirat' pondered over food and planted seedlings on soil, accidentally inventing agriculture in Quaho. This particular discovery proved to be effective, as Kavirat ate one of his own crop and not dying. His neighbours who saw Kavirat's discovery began the end-course of inventing a 'currency' to buy Kavirat's crops and grow those seedlings themselves. Kavirat and his neighbours realised the potential of currency, and used the tools to purchase land. The people also discovered the art of cutting using their own feet to split a piece of stone, which applied to wood now; which started the first ever housing ever built, the first being Kavirat's own house (still preserved today in modern-day Magadava). The invention of writing also led Kavirat to write 'laws' on now papyrus stating what to do and not what to do. His writings were the basis of his power and thus the first ever Quarese society is born starting by the Kahars under Kavirat, now named Kavirat 'Ankar' (the Blessed).

Other civilizations followed suit and soon the first Iplar society is founded, Sehni societies being founded and Eltimid kingdoms being born from the sacred. The Yetaffids would be the more later of these civilizations. Kavirat's first kingdom is born sometime around 4000-3000 BCE, where the first pyramids started being constructed by the Kahars by that same time period by the Ikaw Rivar or other rivers taking suit.

### **Pre-Colonial History (999 BCE - 1 BCE)**

As the civilizations continue said prompt existence, Iplars have discovered temples that belonged to multiple 'prophets', which became the very pinnacle of Iplar people adopting Earfrism, which would soon spread towards some portions of Quaho, only mainly the Kahar and Eltimid populations. Kavirat's descendants would adopt Earfrism, seeing distrust amongst the pagan god '*De'ama*'. Yetaffid and Sehni city-states, whom were pagans, began warring with these same states over the fear of forced conversion from their faith to the existing Earfrist faith which only lasted for 5 years, with no winners named 'The First Earfrist War'. This war indirectly caused the invention of a 'healing place', where warriors were sent to be healed using herbs or spices that were discovered during their journeys. Inspired off the Earfrist temples after the war, the Quarese begin copying it's architectural designs and build those with houses of their own, sometime innovating to their own 'Caltaian' housing system, indirectly inventing the first aqueducts of the world, with bath houses being invented; with a shift from wooden to now limestone or brick houses which were previously used to build the pyramids.

A prostitute culture would be developed during the first Kavirat dynasty, as the guise of sustainability showed no bound in sex. As a start of a culture flourished with the Kahar and Iplar societies, they later found out the existence of outside or foreign entities away from Quaho. A man named '*Ba'armaj*' once visited Magadava trading wool, which was an undiscovered material made from the hairs of a 'sheep'. The particular existence of a new people named the '*Lettish*' ('*Ge'armak*') saw the Kavirats threatened. Moreover both Iplar and Kahar societies began warring with the Lettish city-states who would then be kicked out of what is now modern-day Radellia and Landelia. However, the Lettish people were allowed to live in their respective lands under the jurisdiction of the Kavirats and the Iplars.

New combat tactics were founded by Kavirat *Zek,* a warrior-king who used the influences of the old tribesmen who would use fighting as the primordial trial for the sense of belongingness as a result of this endeavor. The following years would be marred by northern peril, as the Center and the South began their flourishing culture, as animal husbandry became mainstream in the kingdoms as a faster method of harvesting crops. The first ever pottery made from clay would be found, resulting in granaries and gardens grown. They would also discover that the stars may guide where a person may go or stay.

### **Pre-Colonial to Colonial Era (O CE - 1700 CE)**

The Kavirats long have used agriculture to it's fullest potential, which seen many wastes of vegetables. A man named Andala Kak used these particular wastes to invent a sheet of such, indirectly inventing paper. This discovery would later soon find out on it's own after calligraphy and writing accounts now became commonplace, which indirectly began the Kahami Language Tree, which would later on use characters and to the point the Kahars invented their own version of the alphabet. The invention of the alphabet would prove useful to philosophical scholars in all corners of Quaho where the Kandasy Library was built in Kafkal (modern-day Mannten). Bronze working was also founded via the very discovery of bronze in a mine near Neucerne; which started the first ever armored suits for Quarese knights, which then led to finding archers out on their own and the barracks was founded.

The Niare, a foreign entity up north in Sedland landed on the northern shores of Eltimia, perpetually attacking Eltimid, Yetaffid and Sehni forces. The three civilizations would then purchase weaponry and armory from the Kahar and Iplar populations, using them to fend off the Niari legions off from the north though it led to many deaths caused by the Niari knights. This particular war that occurred would then shape the three northern civilizations to copy the legion-style phalanx from the Niari mixed with Quarese martial fighting by making the suits much lighter. They would then discover the boat from the Niari, copying the design, producing many ships of their own, which now make up a formidable navy. The Kavirat kingdom would purchase some ships to take trade alone, finding areas beyond their horizons. They would however discover the Gerzonian Peninsula, where the Quarese kingdoms would then begin trade with all forms of groups from Gerzonia, importing woven linen which would then become more estranged when the Quarese discover their own weaving methods. Moreover, the trade with Gerzonia resulted with importing Baratism and Parastraism all across Northern and Central Quaho. The Kavirat merchants however would export Earfrism towards the Gerzonian Peninsula, however the religion there would die out. Muskets would be imported from all kingdoms in Quaho.

Iplars, having no chance to trade from the outside world other than the Lettish Sultanates and several Krajnan kingdoms up west, would be building the *Kapal-Altas* Temple, reported the second largest Earfrist temples in Scorpertonia. Kahar scholar found out that Iplars have no surnames due to it's superstition that surnames are against Thry'al's bond with the self. However, both the Kahars and Iplars would lose their Radellian and Landelian land to it's first colonizers, the Union of Koswavia, which would however be short-lived as the Kahars and Iplars would fend the Koswavians off in 1546 CE. The Lettish and Koswavian populations would reproduce with each other, directly making the Radellian ethnicity; which would run independently as four republics.

Prussians would however discover Radellia's four republics and conquer all of them, but would be kicked out as a result of several rebellions. Grossmagnarischland and the Radellian Republic would be founded as a result of this. As the Radellians became independent, the Sehni Kingdoms and the Kingdom of Eltimia went to war due to several border disputes. The Sehno-Eltimid War from 1660 to 1667 saw a possible 12 million dead. The Iplar monarchy would die out, causing a huge civil war amongst each other due to a man claiming to be an Earfrist prophet, founding the Republic of Iplun. The same occurred to the Kahars after the last living Kavirat king would die, causing the existence of the Republic of Nokaho.

### **From the War to the Revolution from the Confederation (1701 CE - 1880 CE)**

The weakened Quarese states begin warring amongst each other, causing ethnical tension towards each other. An approximate 33 million dead were found in a massive range of 30 years. The thriving cultures were met by Blemish people who began crossing the Alazar from the West to the East. The first people who founded the Blemish foreigner are the Iplars, then the Kahars. As part of a deal, the Blemish Confederation in 1795 installed both Iplar and Kahar possessions within only, leaving the Sehni Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Eltimia, the Republic of Radellia, the Kingdom of Quagmagnia and the Yettafid Empire would be left alone from the agreement.

Now labelled as the Quarese, the Iplars and Kahars would quickly become incorporated into the army. In 1820 to 1840 saw Quarese soldiers fight Krajnan forces, however Iplar/Kahar revolts so much so became commonplace for the duration of the war. Assuming that the Quarese people were poorer, Blemish authorities began raising taxes to the Quarese, which forced the Quarese people into poverty, being the victim to the ethnical power struggle from the Blemish Authorities. In 1862, the **League of the White Flower** was found as a revolutionary force. Assuming that the Quarese may go literate again, 32 Mannten people began burning the Kandasy Library, possibly *erasing a portion of Iplar and Kahar history and literature*.

The Blemish authorities also began to terminate the Iplar and Kahar soldiers and military officials off of the army, which indirectly caused many of these soldiers and officers to join the **League of the White Flower** in the 1870s, particularly scholars named **Emilio Borden** and **General Ferdinand Bello**; who would write the book of the ***Three People's Principles***. The persecution of Quarese Parastraists also happened, which had officially sparked the ***Quarese Revolution of Independence,*** a series of wars orchestrated by the ***League of the White Flower*** from 1875 to 1880, with a win from the Quarese Revolutionaries after the ***Battle of Nadihoven*** saw a peace deal brokered. The modern state from Pao would become the first ever country to officially recognize the independent Republic of Quaho. **Ferdinand Bello**, who led the revolution seized the opportunity to become President of Quaho, with **Emilio Borden** handpicked Vice President.

### **Republic of Quaho (1880 -)**

The Republic of Quaho gained it's name after the **Independence Day of the 7th of June 1880**. The end result was a federal-presidential country starting off with the Iplar and Kahar Federal Regions with **Nadihoven** first becoming the seat of the federal government with **Ferdinand Bello** taking over the reigns of the Presidency of Quaho before the capital was switched to **Kamtegen**. However, the presence of other foreign nations from with the ***Quarese League of Influence***, mainly the Radellians, Eltimids, Sehnis and Yetaffids saw the inevitable "*Kapartaw Plan*" made by Bello himself and with the help of the Empire of Yetaffia, saw conquering the surrounding countries in sixteen years into becoming it's current form. According to native accounts, the Kapartaw Plan saw the death of at least 33 million Eltimids, Radellians, and Sehnis people during the wars.

The concluding Presidents after Bello saw a string of despotic dictatorships to make an effort in reducing the poverty and crime rate of the country, effectively reducing the chance of revolting from the State from 1896 to the 40s, which saw the Quaho invade the newborn Union of Bliere in 1947 due to several resource disputes (Gold Rush War). However, due to the many casualties the Quarese have gotten as a result of guerilla warfare & disease, the Quarese and Blemish governments in 1952 brokered a deal where both countries' borders were reorganized.

Despotism remained in Quarese politics until the 1960 elections saw **Dario Roma** of the **Labour Party of Quaho** win the Presidency, where democracy had returned after a revised charter-change in it's Congress. Quaho would become a major power during **Garam Adalava**'s (1968-1980) presidency after many social reforms were passed which led to much of the country exporting much of it's agricultural and industrial output to other countries, wherein he applied for the League of Nations in 1973, promptly becoming a member.

Now, Quaho is the strongest economy of Scornertopia in terms of Gross Domestic Product, and a pillar of modern-day science, technology, and medicines, the Republic is one of sovereignty and nationalism, wielding a 300-missile nuclear arsenal. Quaho advocates for worldwide patriotism, nationalism and decongested education, Quaho's solemn goal is of independence and international preserverance.
