Pre-Historic
Before the Foundation, several cultures and civilizations lived in the present-day Kingdom of Nanois. First, was the Kingdom of Almmore. Many of the buildings of the Kingdom of Almmore still stand underneath Ville de Nanois.

Sometime after Almmore, another civilization amerged, and covered the entirety of the Almmori housing district. They built ontop of the city and it's roads, leveling the city out. Many of their buildings used deepslate.

Foundation
The Kingdom of Nanois was founded when the Granduer of the United Territories of Kostuco offered Asthmatic the land of the former industrial city of Almmore, an industrial Kingdom founded under the Tortugan Sphere of Influence. This offered the House of Dominika & Saintistel a throne of their own, and their own nation to rule. Asthmatic accepted the offer, with the conditions of keep the religious temple as it was.

Soon after the formation of the capital city, Ville de Nanois, Asthmatic, along with several key builders and figures from other nations, began transforming the newly founded Ville de Nanois into a lovely, desirable city - removing all of the dark and grungy deepslate.

King Asthmatic, government officials, and citizens came together and planned the new Ville de Nanois. During the planning stages, King Asthmatic was given permission from the Union (United Territories of Kostuco) that he could remove the religious temple in the Site Religieux Aborigène. The nation rejoiced when they heard the news, as they could truly build the nation they envisioned.

Les Ennius
Les Ennius, better known as the Trouble Period, was a period of time shortly after the foundation of the Kingdom that Nanois faced. There were three significant troubles.

The First Trouble, was within The United Territories of Kostuco, which had internal issues. Leaders of the Union often would disagree and declar war on each other often. The Kingdom of Nanois vouched for peaceful resolutions to the conflicts, understand both sides, and remained neutral, however, diplomacy failed. Eventually, during the short two days of conflict, a new union, the North Sparwood Federation, was formed.

The Second Trouble, shortly after the first, was when Grand Castell-Llozhar had illegally occupied and annex territory of the Kingdom of Nanois, and continued to expand and changed it on all maps of Rathnir, considering the cartographers guild was owned by the leaders of Grand Castell-Llozhar. Concerned and worried about the chance of war, King Asthmatic started recruiting for the Navy by offering $10,000 immediately upon joining. During diplomatic talks, Grand Castell-Llozhar officials remained quiet and refused to respond to questions of leaders from the North Sparwood Federation and the Kingdom of Nanois. It was later determined that the land was part of Thallassi, and was rightfully part of Grand Castell-Llozhar. However, once Elan, the leader of the former North Sparwood Federation left the discussions, peaceful diplomacy was made. Agreements on splitting the land and having an open, and free border with a town from both nations being on the island were made. However, Elan disapproved of this and attempted to bar Asthmatic from diplomacy, stating "it did not work." Meanwhile, much of Ville de Nanois was being developed and more citizens began to join the nation.

Immediately after, the Third Trouble had begun. The North Sparwood Federation had internal disputes between the Grand Council containing of the leaders the Kingdom of Nanois, Tsardom of Zephyria, Buzavar, and Ostwyzia. These four nations stood against Elan's poor leadership and founded a new confederation. This sparked controversy and was a large issue within Plagos, and more importantly Kartek. However, Asthmatic was determined to find a peaceful resolution and diplomacy began with himself, Elan, and Kayo, the Federations Overseer. Asthmatic and Elan wrote and signed the Treaty of July, outlining the wishes of both parties and what was to come. However, this didn't last long as the old Kartek leader were reunifying Kartek. Worried about being drag into a unwanted continental conflict, Asthmatic asked to be directly under Greater Plagos, and they accepted it.

Journée Liberté Nanois
On the 26th of July, the Kingdom of Nanois declared the day to be Nanois Freedom Day, other wise known as Journée Liberté Nanois, and marked the day that Nanois was no longer under any Kartek union, and could complete international diplomacy as they wish.
