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 racial/ethnic groups began developing, being the Eternyrians and the Lo'Oix. Both share some minor similarities but in general are quite different with the Lo'Oix people in particular having their own language (Lo'Oi) and having 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 threats. This was how the United Socialist States of Eldham came about. With a new nation consisting of a little over a dozen people, they began construction of the Capital City of Garkogorod, meaning Sharp Castle with the Lo'Oi word for sharp (garko'oa) and a suffix meaning castle of unknown origin in reference to defensive capabilities. It was around this time that the People's Army was also founded.

Soon after, the USSE signed a treaty named the Treaty of Achadia with the secessionist nation of Achadia. This readmitted the nation back into the USSE as the Autonomous State of Achadia, 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.

The first is the State of Kiurtrog located in the far Southeast corner of the map and home to the Capital City of Garkogorod. It is mostly consistent of plains, in addition to a mesa and savannah biome and additionally includes nearby islands such as Jawto'O. The second is the State of Croscograd located West of Kiurtrog being divided by the Sea of Lélo'É. It is largely based on an island and consists of snowy tundras. The third is the previously mentioned Autonomous State of Achadia which is located several hundred blocks North from both Vanargard and Croscograd. The forth is the State of Vanargard which is the largest State in terms of territorial claim and is located across the landmass Northwest of Croscograd. The fifth is the State of Ljordmir which is South of Vanargard and West of Croscograd. Kiurtrog is the only state not predominately located in a taiga or tundra.
