New RP history writing thread

[Crichton]

Given how densely packed most of our nations are with each other, trying to set up history a couple of people at a time is likely to end up with a contradictory mess. To keep this simple I'm presenting this is a timeline-it's easy to edit, and means small details that really only matter to a couple of nations can be worked out elsewhere.

Here's a start;
RP start-~2,000 Unification of kingdoms of Grivska and Gabrili-become rival trading nations.
RP start -~400 Sevonje starts to form outposts in [BORIS' NATION].
RP start -200~Grivska starts establishing trade outposts and settlements in Cele [the eastern colony bit].
RP start -156 After normalisation of relations and a great increase in pan-nationalist sentiment, Grivska and Gabrili unite to form the Kutan Empire.
RP start -120 War starts with Aviliyu [Jaydee's nation] over the importation of harmful narcotics produced in Cele. Aviluyun naval forces are crushed, and Aviliyu is forced to sign over the harbour or Betata as part of the peace treaty.
RP start -81 [BORIS' NATION] is awarded self-governance by the empire; Emperor remains head of state, and Kutan retains control over [TBD] island as a naval base

Feel free to add your events, or flag up anything you might want changing.

[Yuriski]

What I have so far:
RP start-~2,000 Unification of kingdoms of Grivska and Gabrili-become rival trading nations.
RP start -~400 Sevonje starts to form outposts in [BORIS' NATION].
RP Start ~-300: A small uprising is instigated in the future MRN highland peasants who believe to be neglected by the crown.
RP Start ~-250: The capital city of the MRN migrates from [city 1] to [Modern Capital]
RP start -200~Grivska starts establishing trade outposts and settlements in Cele [the eastern colony bit].
RP Start ~-175: The MRN government is granted more power by the throne, as the king at the time is unable to conceive a legal child.
RP start -156 After normalisation of relations and a great increase in pan-nationalist sentiment, Grivska and Gabrili unite to form the Kutan Empire.
RP Start -123: The last Monarch of the MRN dies, and the government assumes control of the nation, forming the Mountain Republic.
RP Start -122: The first President of the MRN is issued into office. He leads the National Neutrality Party.
RP start -120 War starts with Aviliyu [Jaydee's nation] over the importation of harmful narcotics produced in Cele. Aviluyun naval forces are crushed, and Aviliyu is forced to sign over the harbour or Betata as part of the peace treaty.
RP Start -120: Shortly after the outbreak of War between the Kutian Empire and Aviliyu, the MRN declares complete neutrality in international politics.
RP Start -115: The MRN creates the International Congress of Nations, and constructs the meeting area. All nations were invited, [however only "names" joined | or | all nations accepted the inivitation | or | no nations were interested in joining the ICN].
RP start -81 [BORIS' NATION] is awarded self-governance by the empire; Emperor remains head of state, and Kutan retains control over [TBD] island as a naval base

[borisperrons]

I suggest marking the events happening with what nation are involving, so to easily keep track of it.

[Crichton]

So that would be;
K=Kryten Y-=Yuri J=Jaydee B=Boris
K RP start-~2,000 Unification of kingdoms of Grivska and Gabrili-become rival trading nations.
KB RP start -~400 Sevonje starts to form outposts in [BORIS' NATION].
Y RP Start ~-300: A small uprising is instigated in the future MRN highland peasants who believe to be neglected by the crown.
K RP start -200~Grivska starts establishing trade outposts and settlements in Cele [the eastern colony bit].
K RP start -156 After normalisation of relations and a great increase in pan-nationalist sentiment, Grivska and Gabrili unite to form the Kutan Empire.
Y RP Start -123: The last Monarch of the MRN dies, and the government assumes control of the nation, forming the Mountain Republic.
K RP start -120 War starts with Aviliyu [Jaydee's nation] over the importation of harmful narcotics produced in Cele. Aviluyun naval forces are crushed, and Aviliyu is forced to sign over the harbour or Betata as part of the peace treaty.
Y RP Start -120: Shortly after the outbreak of War between the Kutian Empire and Aviliyu, the MRN declares complete neutrality in international politics.
Y RP Start -115: The MRN creates the International Congress of Nations, and constructs the meeting area. All nations were invited, [however only "names" joined | or | all nations accepted the inivitation | or | no nations were interested in joining the ICN].
KB RP start -81 [BORIS' NATION] is awarded self-governance by the empire; Emperor remains head of state, and Kutan retains control over [TBD] island as a naval base

With some of Yuri's removed that didn't really seem internationally important.

[MysticPing]

RP START - 400: A now forgotten empire colonizes the Senayre area.

RP START - 350: Contact with colonizer is lost, presumed invaded.

RP START - 348: Conglomerate is established.

[Crichton]

See, there's one of my issues with your history; you have neighbours that must have existed and were probably literate at that point in time, how could these people be forgotten?

[DeltaV]

[MysticPing]

Well more forgotten in the sense that it's not important as they don't exist anymore. (Because of a invasion or something)

[Charzy]

I have it in my history that between -800 and -400 I performed raids on the nations to my Northwest, then moving onto piracy of people's trade vessels going to colonial areas, and then by -100 I'd slowly gone from piracy to actual trade.
Does anybody have any issues with that? (Apart from the ones of you that're landlocked, of course)

[cziken20]

[Charzy]

My history right now:

The last bit fits in whenever Warrior's nation starts colonising, the second last bit may or may not stay in depending on what the rules and regulations of the ICoN are. All the raidy-tradey stuff makes a few minor assumptions about other people's histories and affects pretty much everybody on the eastern coast of Kafrica (can we stop calling it that? It's a terrible name). So, if you have issues with that, you should probably tell me now.

So basically your nation half-viking/half-pirated me and everyone else around me?

[Charzy]

Vikinged, then pirated (mostly the nice rich vessels going to the colonies), then stopped pirating, then traded, yeah.
And with Warrior the relationship is more "You're threatening our borders. Piss off."

[dogon11]

[borisperrons]

Lo and behold, for here lies the History of Njegošlja.


BD? RP start-1600: The tribes of the Belenosian people are unified to counter the menace of the raids carried by the desert nomadic people.

B RP start-1250: After a centuries long fight, the desert nomads are finally tamed and absorbed by the Belenosians. To this date, little is known of the nomadic culture before the assimilation.

B RP start-1000: The Belenosian nation breaks up because of internal tensions between the old tribal families. A civil war erupts.

B RP start-850: The lowest point of the Belenosian civilization. 150 years of continuous war have taken their toll on the once flowering civilization. Plagues hit the population, and trade and communications are virtually stopped. Many believe that the end of the world is arrived.

B RP start-600: After a long recovery, driven by the cultural centres represented by the religious centres, the Belenosians start resembling a civilized people once again. The Belenosian city states start unifying in a number of countys and little confederations.

BHM RP start-[whenever hellorp and mobius feel fine with] The trade with the nations in the 'Ile du Meridiunne is started by some intraprendent merchants. First continuous contacts with the external world.

BHM RP start-[whenever hellorp and mobius feel fine with] {hellorp and mobius nations} begin to set trade posts in the Belenosian territories. While not exactly happy, the natives accept it.

BHM RP start-[whenever hellorp and mobius feel fine with] After some hints that trade is not all what {hellorp and mobius nations} want, the cities form the Alèansa Belenusian. The foreigners decide that colonization might be a little more difficult than expected, and decide to keep what concessions they already have. The islands of Lampiun and Luminnaia are from now on under their rule.

BK RP start-400: Sevonjan explorer Nikola Njegoš disembarks on the unhabited island of Gallinara, and claims it in the name of his King.

BK RP start-394: After 6 years of travels in the Belenosian lands, Njegoš receives from the King the order to have the natives pledge allegiance to him. using his knowledge of the Belenosian culture and the seemingly infinite amount of money at his disposal, he starts another civil war between the Belenosians. Then, with the intervention of the Sevonjan army, the area is pacified, put under the direct rule of the King, and renamed Njegošlja, as a recognition of the explorer feats.

B RP start-150: At this date, one sixth of the Njegošljan population is of Katunian ethnicity.

BKJ RP start-120: A contingent of Njegošljan volunteers sees action in Ailiyu. After the war, they receive the official colours from the Emperor, forming the Vojska Njegošlja, the first step towards self governance.

BK RP start-81: The Emperor gives Njegošlja self governance rights. The Katunian minority has now the right to decide for their own destiny, while the Belenosians are forcibly excluded from the politics.

B RP start-68: Belenosian rebels start a nationwide revolt against the Katunian elite: while at first succesful, the revolt is swiftly crushed by the highly trained Vojska Njegošlja, and the rebels are either executed or exiled. The northern desert becomes the home of the remaining rebels, the Partisanni du Belenosia.

B RP start-46: To bolster the numbers of the Vojska Njegošlja, the General Governor institutes the Legija Stranaca, accepting recruits from all over the world.

History of the Sanga Protectorate
2300 before start- Sanga people begin practicing agriculture.  Major kingdom rose but collapsed due to famine.

1300 before start- First cities in on the Wakir are established. First major naval trade begins.

1000 pre start- Unknown kingdom takes power in Sanga.  It created a large empire, occupying much of modern day Old Northern Highlands.  It collapsed violently after hundred or so years later and created a dark age.

740 pre start- First of (Charzy's nation's raiders attack)

700 pre start- First over sea colonies are established in the Agrian Peninsula. However, they are terrorized by Charzy's raiders and are abandoned.

680 pre start- With the discovery of Gunpowder, a renaissance begins in Sanga.  Ships filled with explorers set off and found colonies all across the Southern Deassic, Kafrica, and the Southern Wakir.  

650 pre start- Trade from across the planet is steered to Sanga by their navies.  The position between the two oceans reaps massive trade.  The Church of Kraken also reaches Sanga, and wipes out the pagan religions in less than 50 years

500 pre start- Clashes with the Charzy raiders escalate into full fledged naval battles.  At one, nearly 200 ships are sunk.

450 pre start- Under Kelom III, Sanga builds up a massive military and conquers much land in Kafrica and the Wakir straits.  Near the end of his reign, he leads an invasion against Charzy.

300 pre start- With tales of riches in the Veiid, the Polta Company sets out and colonized a path between the Deassic and the Veiid.  The colony pushes back military action by Charzy's nation.  For the fabled riches in the Veiid, they meet Delta's nation.

160 before start- new ideas trickle in from other nations about democracy.  A peaceful democracy is put in place after the death of the Queen

70 Pre start- Sangan philosopher Tenmerant lays out his paper on an adaptation of socialism.  It is based around all of society working together and an omnipresent government.  Much of the populous agrees to this and it quickly becomes ingrained in Sangan society.

[Charzy]

You're too North to be in the area that I raided, it was the people to my West and Northwest. The height of our interaction should probably something along the lines of "There's some threatening guys past the northern mountains. They sound like assholes. I bet they're all assholes", and then occasional me pirating stuff that goes further south than that colony that's beside me.

Giant naval battles are probably unlikely to have happened, since most of my military was just a big wooden wall specifically to prevent people from attacking in retaliation for my piracy.
Unless you attempted a land invasion (my borders only ever reached the mountains at my northern border, they didn't extend into what's now your land), my ships would have just sailed away and pirated somebody else.

[Crichton]

A navy can't run forever, especially one with relatively large ships. You can't have a shipyard in every fishing village.

[Charzy]

But there comes a point where you have to start coming near my ports where the rest of my navy is. If there were to be a large naval battle, it'd be relatively near to my capital. You tend not to have naval battles on the orders of hundreds of ships to deal with pirates.

Also, that part where you started colonising the Agrian peninsula probably would have been met by an army rather than a navy, considering that area was very much part of my lands at that point.

[Warriorbulb]

I mostly don't border you except for my colony, so I guess the military action is a bit weird.  I added in the big naval battle because you were talking about escalating naval conflicts.  Regardless, most of this is irrelevant.  We can just say that you pirated and I disliked you for it. Also, what's your nation's name Charzy?

[Charzy]

The full title would be Ensjorehningiriki, The Sjorehningi Empire.
Feel free to call us "them Sjorehningi scumbags", though.

End of Last RP - The WPRP annexes all of Kerbin, and then Kortugans nuke the WPRP. A kortugan presses the history reset button, starting the RP that we have now.

Then you know the rest.

[twinky827]

Nah. I like to think that the Kafrican continent united when the WPRP invaded, and they all nuked eachother to death.

[Mobius]

Or maybe we all just got along and lived in peace?

*starts running*
