Exodus from Canaan
Deep in the mines of Canaan, there was a group of goblin laborers. They were slaves in shackles, worked to death in extreme temperatures of scorching hot and freezing cold. One day, two goblins named Brixxi and Kewl Wood had enough of their cruel treatment and got together a bunch of goblins that were settling around Canaan to run away, but they were pursued by attackers and were forced to flee to Rödinnbrok.

They marched through mountains and desert just to find the shore of the sea. Goblins were very bad swimmers and couldn’t build boats, so they started building a bridge from the seashore into the sea in hopes of finding land.

Settlement on the Isle
It took years but they finally found a small island near the shores of Grisa, a small settlement in the nation of Stoneguard. After they started to settle down, they were witnesses of a strange host. A portal from hell appeared on the island and man named Vaicos came through it. He didn’t stay long and only admired their bridge and led them to hell so they can see his bridges. The goblins had come to realize the potential in their location with the seas, bridge, and highway in hell, and turned into merchants.

Independence
Years passed and the small island became a city where many people came to seek refuge. It was at this moment that the new elections were coming up, until this time the city was run by Brixxi. Elections were free and open so much so that even people from different countries could run.

These were the candidates :


 * Neo_Aurelian
 * Brixxi
 * Kewl Wood
 * Spructia
 * Gold

The most prominent of them all was Neo_Aurelian, a charismatic citizen of Uraka, promising unification of the Uraki, riches, and prosperity. He won with 58% of the votes. Meanwhile in the lands of Stoneguard, the province of Osria and the settlement of Grisa became great cities, and another two cities, Ancontinople and Phantalia, appeared.

Around this time Vaicos came back to the city on his vacation. He had his plans for Uraka and it was independence.

Neo_Aurelian was content with being under Rödinnbrok as they gave Uraka a lot power in their territory, but the cards have already been played. In absence of the king of Stoneguard and his right hand, Vaicos took over. He first visited Osria and promised them their own nation and that they will share it with Urak. Talk about independence started and it was no other path to take. Neo visited Sarlician, the great pirate of Barbossa, as they owned half of the Osrian lands. Sarlician agreed and two out of three cities were transferred from Stoneguard/Barbossa to Urak. After that, Neo visited Sandy of Rödinnbrok with support of Barbossa and Stoneguard, Urak got their independence.

They traveled back to the city to officially form the nation and draw borders. Vaicos took the map of the known world and a dark red crayon to draw a line and said, "This here is your nation, goodbye". With that, the nation of Uraka came into existence.

Republican Era
The new president, Neo Aurelian, began to draft changes to the country. First, the ministers were named for each sector. Sadly none of the ministers did a good job and the system became too corrupted, slow and weak. Around this time the third city of Phantalia joined Uraka, it was seen as a big win for the new president and with his rising popularity and cult of personality, Neo finally realized he is leading the country alone.

He fired all ministers and crowned himself as king of Uraka. People cheered on this decision as he was very popular. With that, the republic days were over.

Proclamation of the Empire
The Republic of Uraka is dead, long live The Uraki Imperium. Emperor Neo got married with LadyXade of Druk Yul. Not long after the marriage, Druk Yul was attacked, Uraka helped defend them and they won the war (The Horse War). The Uraki army was created in response to this outbreak of conflict and soldiers became national guards with stable incomes from payment.

Uraka became one of the first empires to ever pay their people for their service. With their first war won, new alliances created, and the formation of a stable army, Uraka was ready to enter a new age.

War of the Black Flag
Surprisingly, the first big war Uraka was truly apart of after gaining its independence was a war in which they helped to defend the Pirate state of Barbossa against the Zamotz Union. Uraka fought bravely to defend the Barbossan nation, but ultimately they were unable to turn the tides of war, which ended with a Barbossan defeat.

The Consortium of Errine
Not long after the War of the Black Flag, Uraka became part of the Consortium of Errine: A confederation between the nations of Titania, Roðinnbrók, Mercury, Barbossa and Uraka. As Uraka laid in the center of the Consortium, they were the main benefactors of the closer cooperation between the nations, seeing much of the trade between the states going through its land.

The Titanian Annexation
Context As Uraka was growing quickly, much like the other states of the Consortium of Errine, it was perhaps inevitable that some of the states would merge. The first of these mergers was between Uraka and Titania where Uraka absorbed the Titanian state into its wider empire. This happened on the 27th of August and since that day, every month on the 27th is celebrated as Union Day by all the peoples of Uraka. Not long after this union to appease the people of the Empire, a more fleshed out chain of command was created to ensure stability even in absence of the Emperor. Circumstances Effects

The Druk Yul Annexation
Context As the Uraki Emperor had been married to the high councilor of Druk Yul for a while now and with the states as inseparable as their rulers they decided to merge the two into one under the banner of Uraka on the 16th of September, 2021. This Announcement was met with loud applauses and celebrations from both parties, who had long since come to see themselves as the same people. This Union would reinforce the precedent set by the Union of Uraka and Titania, showing once again the unity between the people of Uraka and their neighboring peoples.
