History
The land in Eldham that the USSE is situated upon had been home to nomadic peoples for hundreds, if not thousands of years. After the development of agriculture in the region, semi-permanent settlements were created on and off in the area. Ultimately two main species coming to dominate the region, being the Eternyrians and the Lo'Oix. The Lo'Oix people in particular having their own language, Lo'Oi, and their own folk religion, Oxintoism.

With the Rathnirian discovery of the Eldham, the people in the region united in order to defend themselves from any future imperialists threats, this was how the United Socialist States of Eldham was formed. With a new nation consisting of a little over a dozen people, they began construction of the capital city of Garkogorod (meaning 'sharp castle' in Lo'Oi). It was around this time that the People's Army was also founded.

Soon after, the USSE signed the Treaty of Achadia with the secessionist nation of Achadia. This readmitted the nation back into the USSE as as an autonomous state with more self-governance than other states. It is also home to the Achadian people and culture. On that day as well, the USSE began the first major construction of Garkogorod and divided their claimed territory into multiple states.

On 14 June, not long after the nation's founding, the first president suddenly passed away from a stroke resulting in the immediate promotion of Vice President Leo Belgicus to the second president of the USSE, with Xeroise Ronango'O becoming his Vice President.
