After the end of the Second Coalition-Ellysian War, area that had been previously controlled by the Ellysian Empire had been freed and placed under temporary governorship by the Regnum Drakaes, with the zone that includes the modern Confederation of Garxijos being governed by the United Socialist States of Eldham. Eventually they established four nations in the zone, two of which being Garxijos Yawos and Cognia.

Over time, diplomatic relations between the two nations steadily increased, until a proposition had been put foreword by both nation's leaders. This proposition would be that the two nations would unify into a single state, both which equal or near equal representation and control of the government and and it's sovereignty.
