The Colonial Republic of New Arova

The Island that is now known as New Arova was once occupied by simple tribal fishermen. They had no concept of metals or any higher technology but had a very complicated culture and religion. Then settlers arrived from a nation whos name has been lost to history, all we know is that it was located across a great sea. When the settlers arrived they attempted to convert the tribals to their religion, however this did not succeed because to the positive and peacefulness of the tribals religion and the negativity of the settlers religion. After the first wave of missionarys the government made peace with the tribals and established Dunport as their city and named the island New Arova after a Provence in their home country. However after several years the aristocratic elitist parliament forced the military into fighting the tribals to acquire more land. The setterler armys had the element of surprise with them and looted and pillaged many small villages in the opening days of the war, however later attempts to push deeper failed because the tribals started getting organized and eventually the tide turned on the settlers and the city of Dunport was overrun. However unlike other kortugan groups the Tribals decided not to kill the settlers and instead allowed them to continue living in Dunport and get a minor say in government. sometime during this war the settlers home nation was destroyed in an unknown disaster (most likely a kortugan attack). After the war a new parliament was established made up of 4/5ths tribals and 1/5ths setteler (despite the population being only 1 10th settler). However in order to avoid another terrible war like the one between the settlers and tribals the parliament decided the nation should go into isolation. After several hundred years the parliament decided to contact nearby kortugan tribes and other nations, only to find that they were nearly 75 years behind technology wise. Now under the new leadership of Prime minister Mikaere New Arova aims to contact and begin peaceful relations with all civilized groups on kerbin.

The Two Religions:
The Tribal religion is known as HaHeHi or the island god. In this religion there are gods for all the planets, and stars (many familys have shrines to individual stars) but the main one is the Sky Father. Long ago it is said that the stars and planets were very close to the ground, and everyone lived peacefully and happily on the island, however the red god, Duna convinced the first Kerbals to reject the Sky Father and worship himself instead. Although he was angry with the Kerbals the Sky father decided to punish the Kerbals with eternal misery alone on the planet without the planets and stars and lifted all the planets and stars high above the island, however a prophecy says that if they can get back to the planets, the sky father will forgive them.

The Setteler religion is called Zepotism much like other civilized religions by only having one god. The god in the Settler religion is known as Zeptos, it is said that in the beginning there was only Zeptos, however he longed for worship so he created the universe and the kerbals. After many millennium of devout worship from the kerbals one known only as the defiant one spoke out against the religion in favor of science. Then Leptons spoke through a great profit not to follow the defiant ones lies as worshiping Zeptos is the only true path. through the years other dissidents have been put down by force by the church and at one point they had mobs of fanatics to roam the city streets destroying schools and other religions churches. The main idea behind Zeptos is to convert the others to the faith, by force if necessary. Currently the Zeptos church is headed by a great profit, the leader of a group of lesser profits. In the last few years more and more followers of Zeptos have been converting to HaHeHi or other large international religions.
