Now we hope for the better future for our Fatherland

Sakuran Crisis
The Sakuran Crisis unfolded as a territorial conflict over an island archipelago nestled in the Osterium Sea within Rathnir. The Sakuran insurgency lead by Duscv on the island of Iremithia, it was viewed as a provocative act by the then-dominant Aesperium Neida. The disputed lands belonged to an obscure islander nation, lost to the cannals of time, which was once a vassal of Aesperium Neida, compelling the empire to intervene. The crisis resulted in the fall of Sakura in Rathnir, yet for Florandia, it marked the dawn of a new era.

Aftermath of the Crisis
The collapse of the Sakuran Khanate wrought devastation upon Sakura, creating internal strife as its people were rendered nomads without a homeland. This crisis sparked a rebellion against the Duscv leader, who lacked concrete plans for resettlement and competency needed to do soo. The dissenting faction, known as the "Florandians," emerged as a historical milestone, marking their stance for a better future during this pivotal moment in history of Florandia.

First Expedition
Initially, the Florandian expedition began as a band of nomads venturing into the eastern reaches of Rathnir, with standout eras including the Sparwood Squating and Azerfjord Squating after the exile from Nostra Terra. Each squatting era concluded in ultimate exile from the lands, making it a relatively uneventful period. However, as the age of squatting reached its end, it instilled a newfound courage in the Florandian people to unite and embark on the "Second Expedition."

The Grand Expedition
The Grand Expedition, a pivotal chapter following the first expedition's final exile from Azerfjord, became the hallmark of Florandian resilience. Venturing into the newly discovered lands of Eldham, the second expedition was driven by an unwavering determination to ensure the survival and prosperity of Florandians at all costs. Their primary objective was to claim uncolonized territories in the Phoros continent, a venture that proved highly successful. As the explorers concluded their journey, they founded the city of "Fort Scarlet Dawn," the fifth settlement in Eldham, marking the inception of a Golden Age for Florandia.

The Phoros Era
Following the success of the Grand Expedition, Florandia basked in a newfound prominence, experiencing early stages of the kingdom marked by generosity and prosperity. The flourishing state was evident in various projects and the formal transformation of settlements into thriving cities, most notable of them was the city of New Yoake, Frankenlandt, and the first capital Fort Scarlet Down. Kyborg, the commander of both expeditions, was rightfully declared the First King of Florandia, leveraging his influence in Bardonia to secure funds for the kingdom's initial development of the mainland, the developement of the Western Territories would mean future but that changed drasticly. Despite the overall growth and prosperity, an impending storm loomed on the horizon, signaling an imminent challenge for the kingdom.

Secession of New Yoake
After the successfulsuccessful colonization of the Western Territories, Florandia's development on the mainland stalled due to the suspension of funding from Bardonia, which particularly affected the stability of the Western Territories. Due to financial constraints, New Yoake was orismally a modest settlement in a frozen enclave, founded by Oldman Pablo, Lg of Eldam. Faced with a lack of external funding, New Yoake achieved self-sufficiency through the dedicated efforts of its city council and grsmall ew from a hamlet to a prosperous town. As the settlement changed, a Council of Truth was formed, and eventually Newyoake separated from Florandia due to perceived government inaction at a critical time.

Storm on the Horizon
Ater the initial success of the kingdom, a wave of prosperity lured a notorious pirate group known as 'The Barborosa Pirates.' While no initial battles were recorded, the looming threat they posed was palpable. The Barborosa Pirates issued an ultimatum, aiming to transform Florandia into a pirate utopia, spelling the demise of the state. Faced with an unavoidable crisis, King Kyborg made the difficult decision to initiate a mass resettlement, acknowledging Florandia's inability to withstand the impending danger. The new challenge unfolded, with numerous settlements abandoned, families shattered, all sacrificed for the survival of the Florandian people. The new land's of the kingdom was targetted, Astios was ou

The Great Voyage to the West
As Florandia faced the Barborosa Pirate threat and made the decision to depart the Phoros continent, a new chapter unfolded with the kingdom, embarking on a challenging voyage to find a new place to call home. Despite a reduced expedition force, with approximately one-third of the population opting to stay in New Yoake, the relocation of the entire kingdom proved to be a daunting task. This monumental decision meant leaving behind the fruits of hard-fought victories, a sacrifice not uncommon in the nation's history. The year-long process of full relocation concluded with Florandia settling on the continent of Astios, primarily establishing itself in the Highlands of Darian Mountains. To anchor this new chapter, a capital was established—Aurora—serving as the headquarters and symbol of resilience in the face of adversity.

The Age of Settlements
Following the swift colonization of Northern Astios, Florandia solidified its dominance over the region, driven by Kyborg's imperative to preempt potential threats from existing tribes and city-states. Notable among them were Statenland City, Principality of Pearl, and the early settlement of Avalon. Amidst peaceful coexistence, with Aurora situated in their midst as the Capital of Florandia, the initial plan for the development was to create infrastructure connecting these burgeoning cities, but unfortunetly leaving the tribes on the outskirts of it. Over time, the relationship between city-states and Florandia improved, leading to a pivotal decision. Recognizing the need for unity to safeguard against external imperial threats of Aristios, the city-states and tribal leaders opted to unite under the Florandian banner, fortifying the defense of these lands against forces seeking conquest and destruction.

The Great Voyage to the West marked a new chapter in Florandia's history, reminiscent of the epic journeys undertaken by ancient seafarers in search of new lands and opportunities. Despite the hardships and challenges that lay ahead, the Florandians embarked on their journey with courage and determination, guided by the beacon of hope that burned bright in their hearts. As Florandia settled in the Highlands of Darian Mountains, establishing the city of Aurora as their new capital, they carried with them the echoes of ancient settlements and the wisdom gleaned from centuries past. Like their predecessors, they forged ahead, undeterred by the trials of the present, knowing that their resilience would pave the way for a brighter future for generations to come.

Among the challenges faced by Florandia were the diverse Redorivian tribes inhabiting the newly colonized territories. However, contrary to expectations, these tribes proved compliant rather than confrontational. The Balistarian tribes, the tribe of Wistul, the city-state of Statenland, and the principality of Avalon welcomed the Florandians, offering cooperation and support in their settlement efforts. This unexpected alliance mirrored the diplomatic successes of ancient civilizations, where peaceful coexistence often prevailed over conflict. Guided by mutual respect and a shared vision for the future, Florandia and the Redorivian tribes worked together to build a harmonious society in the Highlands of Darian Mountains. The Florandians, inspired by the lessons of history, embraced diversity and collaboration, laying the foundation for a thriving multicultural nation. In this union of cultures and ideals, the echoes of ancient settlements resonated, reminding both Florandians and Redorivians of the enduring power of unity in the face of adversity.

City states and Tribes in Old Kingdom
Within the Florandian Kingdom, the City-States and Tribal Lands represented two distinct worlds. While cities flourished in development, tribal territories either embraced civilization or faced neglect and stagnation. Despite these differences, each state contributed a unique essence that rendered the Kingdom of Florandia truly vibrant. Notably documented were the Statenland City, Principality of Pearl, and Avalon. Alongside these urban centers, a myriad of tribes added to the kingdom's diversity, including the Wistulian Tribe, Errachian Tribe, Balistarian Tribe, Dwarven Tribes, and Animalfolk.

City State of Statenland
Statenland City, a flourishing hub along the Staten River, became a vital City State within the Kingdom of Florandia. The resulting population boom and outward expansion led to the rise of the wealthy "Golden Dukes," who eventually became the sovereigns of Statenland. Their charitable image during the founding of the Duchy of Statenland, the first documented united state, is remembered as a significant contribution to Florandia.

Principality of Avalon
The Principality of Avalon was inhabited by a people who called themselves as the "Itsraelians." Initially an isolationist faction, after other city states like City-State of Statenland joined the Kingdom it had lead to the decision to integrate into the Kingdom. The principality derived its name from the lush jungle enveloping the city-state, which fostered prosperity through timber and fish trade. Despite joining the kingdom, Avalon largely retained its isolationist tendencies, primarily involving itself in trade and political affairs solely with the Kingdom's Senate.

Principality of Pearl
The Principality of Pearl emerged as a strategic point of eastern reaches, built to shield any dangers coming from the north east. While Pearl stood as the second city-state to align itself under the Florandian banner in northern Astios, its terrain proved inhospitable, causing frequent plagues that swept the principality. Despite boasting one of the most biggest fortresses ever constructed in Florandia during its era, Pearl had met its demise when the land wasannexed by The Empire of Aristios. But even before the annexation it was foreseen that Pearl its eventual downfall was inevitable. This event served as a pivotal catalyst for the Florando-Aristii Cold War.

The tribe of Wistul
The Wistulan tribes comprised a coalition of southern human tribes, bound together under a single cheefdom to safeguard themselves against potential threats and cave bugs. Known for their superior quality timber found in the southern regions, the Wistulan tribes inhabited tightly-knit communities, with the largest among them being the bustling village of Posne, serving as the trade hub of the southeast. Motivated by assurances of progress and support from the kingdom, the tribes chose to align themselves with Florandia. The promise of development and assistance in eradication of cave bugs, which had plagued the Wistulan tribes even before writing system has been discovered, further cemented their decision to join forces with the kingdom.
