History of Raludcia

Right,

I'm trying to flesh out a history of Raludcia - a proper one other than just appearing from nowhere to be in MT like I've done previous.

And I would like to involve you lot in my history, yes you the other nations of Azdun

What I am thinking is thus.


Ancient Era - Raludcia is barbaric and in a state of perpetual war with itself - not a threat to the rest of the world

Medieval Era - I would like someone to introduce Christianity to my nation, some Crusader Nation prehaps. We could RP the resultant wars or not, I would just like this section filled

Renaissance - Napoleonic - The new Christian Raludcia sets about unifiying itself while gaining colonies throughout Azdun. Many colonial wars etc. Maybe a brief period under Republican Rule only to have the monarchy come back and re-assert its power through a large war.

Industrial (WW1 era) - Major war with someone - don't know who or what about, but I would like to do a WW1 era thread involving Raludcia.

WW2 Era - A minor war with someone other some pointless shit.

Cold War - Minor war prehaps?

Modern - Mayday War as you all know...



So any takers?

I'll help with WWI and WWII era stuff. Anything earlier is out of my expertise.

Ok thats good to hear.

What would you have in mind or be willing to do?

Well for WWI era you could support in combat the Sarian held lands against the Ishuladen held territories. Of course at this point in time the Sarian Empire is in a weakened state due to the loss of the queen. So if you support the Sarian Empire then I will also be able to add that to my history.

Otherwise you have to be willing to lose the War.

For WWII I was thinking an Azdun War of sorts with Dinosia, Raludcia, and a 3rd Nation versus another group.

We would of course lose as to establish the current Region.

I like the idea of a pan Azdun war involving all the major powers.

I think that could make for an epic RP.

Me, you and Onyenu vs. Tarsas, Chaz and IM prehaps?

That would work for me.

This will help me top off my history as well. I've got all the way into the Industrial area though out. After that I need stuff so this helps.

So what about the WWI stuff?

How about 1911 - 1917? or earlier prehaps?

of course, we'll have to sort it with the others, but I think they would like the idea.

It could start with me being my usual expansionist self

Deal, however I suggest 1909, as Dinosia was fully founded in 1912.

So WWI era just you and me (I'll RP both sides)

WWII era 3v3 Major Power War, with our side losing in the end to create Modern Day Azdun.

1909 - 1914 then?

For this WW1 era war what should we do then?

and maybe start a new thread on the WW2 tech war.

Raludcia, I'd like to RP being aligned with you since the 1400s, as I had in mind. I can help you with your mideval stuff since I am that old as well (and a history nerd)

This is what I have for my history so far,

Code:

The [b]History of Raludcia[/b] spans a period of over 6,000 years, with the arrival of humanity in the area which became Raludcia around 4000 BC. The first tribes formed cities around the major river systems and southern coasts where it was warmer, while the people’s of Northern Raludcia adapted to their colder climate but where in far fewer numbers than those in the south.

Raludcia remained divided and consisted of warring states until the arrival of Christianity in 550AD which united much of Raludcia into the Kingdom of Raludcia. The Kingdom proceeded to consolidate its power at home though became more expansionist in the late medieval period.

[b]Ancient Period  (4000-1 AD)[/b]

Raludcian civilisation originated around the southern coast. It is believed the original inhabitants of the nation came from lands to the south (most likely (NATION)) and were a sea-faring people and traded with many other early Azdun peoples, they were peaceful people and . In 2000 BC a group known as the “Ralud” arrived, another sea faring people. However the Ralud brought with them Iron weapons and cavalry and soon conquered and displaced the indigenous populations before then.

Several Ralud kingdoms were set up which existed in a state of perpetual war with each other for over a thousand years (1800 - 800 BC) when a legendary king of the Kesseldorf Kingdom united the smaller nations of Trojmek under his banner. The first combined nation of Raludcia survived only as long as its ruler, collapsing in on itself with a civil war between his generals.

These wars were well documented by a Kesseldorf born poet by the name of Varus who wrote several epics on the history of the wars. They thus became known as the Varus wars and lasted for over 200 years. The war achieved nothing but keeping the power balance and kings controlling their various states. By 1 AD Raludcia was a patchwork of petty kingdoms and peoples rather than a unified state.

[b]Classical Period  (1 - 500 AD)[/b]

The classical period saw much change in Raludcia, mainly that the south was again unified as a nation, this time in 110 AD by King Ogadi I who took his power not through war but through diplomacy and extortion which saw him combine all the southern states of Trojmek into the Kingdom of Kesseldorf.

The newly created Kingdom became a republic in 206 AD when King Ogadi III was overthrown by his nobles and rule went to the council. The Kesseldorf Republic was the most powerful state in Raludcia in this period controlling regional trade and trading as far away as Onyenu and Tarsas. Literature and Architecture flourished in this period with the original Kesseldorf Capital (later Imperial Palace) being built in 280 AD.  The Republic outlawed slavery in 300 AD, being unusually progressive for its time.

On the other side of Raludcia, Aaborg Island, things progressed differently. Aaborg was gripped by multiple wars and conflict in this period with the Kesseldorf Republic profiting from the sale of weapons and slaves captured on the other Island.

Eventually the wars on Aaborg led to the establishment of the Kingdom of Aaborg which then began to rival the Kesseldorf Republic in terms of population, military and trade prowess. The highly militarised Kingdom had pretty hostile relations with the Republic, which would eventually lead to war.
[b]
Pre Medieval Period  (500 - 1000 AD)[/b]

Commonly known as the dark ages in other nations this period was much calmer in Raludcia with the Kesseldorf Republic expanding its power and the Kingdom of Aaborg being formed on the opposite island. The Northern tribes continued their self contained existence, content to survive in the icy north.

Christianity arrived in Aaborg around 510 AD by traders from NATION. Aaborg was swiftly converted and the new, strong kingdom looked to the pagan Kesseldorf Republic as a target for expansionism and conversion. So the Ralud Holy War began in 580 AD and would last for nearly 200 years. In the end the Kesseldorf Republic fell and Christianity was the established religion of Raludcia, with the majority of the population converted.

From the Ralud Holy War the nation was united as the Kingdom of Raludcia. It did not cover the land present day Raludcia does however as the Northern areas were still occupied by small tribes and some organised Kingdoms which paid tribute and were essentially vassal states of the Raludcian King.

At the end of this period Raludcia was a strong, unified and independent country, and began to turn its attentions to the rest of Azdun.


So I'm up to about 1000 AD. I was thinking we (me and Tarsas) could fight a war or two before we allied. I imagine Raludcia to be some sort of major trading nation in this period so whatever.

Also what do you think of the region wide WWI, WWII idea?

i can help with the industrial to cold war era. if you need someone else for early things though i can be your guy, just TG me

Before the empire came the Kingdom of Tarsas for me. The Kingdom could very well be what you need Raludcia.

And my current empire forms in 1099. We could have some majorly fun wars.

And by the way everyone, I am rewriting my history for a more Azdun friendly history as well. I will need some of you to help in that. We can mold our histories together.

Noted Onyenu.

And ok, well if you've read the history Raludcia is very religious and expansionist around 1000 AD, so it could be a religiously motivated conflict.

Are there any nations in Azdun who would not have been Christian at that time?

Or prehaps we could fight some trade wars, naval battles and skirmishes etc.

There just some ideas, feel free to suggest others of course

Sure Raludcia. I actually have some things we can do together once we become allies. You cna help me fully unify my empire and the date can be 1456.

Before that, we can also fight over Raludcian expansion into the Tarsan sub continent.

Ok sounds good. Would you like to RP our wars?

and if so would you mind being more specific in what you have in mind?

Basically, my empire is formed in 1099 but not fully unified. In this time, many smaller kingdoms exist on the Tarsan subcontinent. As enemies, you could declare war on a smaller muslim kingdom and attempt to expand into my subcontinent. My empire would also declare war to drive you out and try to engulf the muslims. We could end up fighting that way.

By 1442, we should become allies. In this time, we would embark on a crusade to unify the empire under the Tarsan Christian Church. For a time, you would own Guardian Island but by 1852, you could cede it to me under some sort of accords we have over it.

And of course we would RP it. Past tech RP.

My nation wasn't created until 1963, so I'm not sure what I could do...

After all of the Tarsas Wars are done then your attention would shift to the Sarian Kingdom of Dinosia.

After Tarsas wars are done, we actually become allies.

I like the idea of a pan-Azdun war, but anything before 1963 for me is OUT. Maybe we could have a Regional Civil War? Maybe it could be based in the 80s or 90s.

So what was Chazicaria like before 1963?

The USA. The difference is, FDR didn't die and the people kept reelecting him until 1955 when he officially disregarded the constitution and decided that his friend, Nicholas Wentsworth (a Socialist author) would be president when FDR died. In 1957, FDR died and NW became president and began enacting dozens of Socialist policies.

In 1962, after much protest, NW declared Martial Law and the citizens (mostly those in the west) rebelled, forming a massive military to combat the Citizens Army (a leftist organization that was slowly replacing the US Military). In 1963, after a year of conflict and massive defecting on the US Military's part (to the rebels) the Citizens Army was defeated and Chazicaria was formed.

In 1967 the US attacked again but after losing AGAIN, Chazicarian military forces ransacked the entire eastern half of the US taking with them the Statue of Liberty, dismantled historical buildings and millions of tons of loot. A nuclear attack by the US ensued, but it was thwarted and Chazicaria nuked the US back, wiping it out.


Haven't gotten around to writing it out in detail, but I will eventually!

oh, I was thinking somewhere after that you could mention the discover of my nation in the A.D.s and have some treaty thing go on. Think imperial japanese style country with white people!
