The History of Blechingia can be traced back to the melting of the Southern Polar Ice Caps. From as early as 12,000 BC, humans have inhabited this area. Throughout the Stone Age, between 8,000 BC and 6,000 BC, early inhabitants used stone-crafting methods to make tools and weapons for hunting, gathering and fishing as means of survival.
Written sources about Blechingia before 1,000 AD are very rare but aren't uncommon. If they are about the inhabitants of the land its normal short and most likely written by there northern neigbors. Most of Blechingia's written history by her own people isn't really record until about the 1270's to between the 1360's. Meaning the first real Blechingian event to be record by Blechingian writers is the War of the Linnaea borealis. But depending on the region written records started earlier but most histoirans argree that the overall prehistory of Blechingia ends sometime in the 13th century. With History staring after that point.
The modern Blechingian state was formed over a long period of unification, consolidation and civil war. So must historians agree that the true modern day state of Blechingia is formed after the 3rd Gothic Civil War to of which after this point the history of Blechingia turns away from war and more towards the every day factors of the government. With Blechingia focues away from consent inter struggle for power Blechingia was know able to focues on more international affiars like the Aleman Colony War of Indepence which would create a 250 year hated for the country of Krenya. And also the as Blechingia add the colony of Aleman.

Plague and Famine
From about 1340 lasting until around 1650 Blechingia would have to deal with waves of famine and disease. The most famous being the Heratic Plague, you can read more about that below.

The Dark Republic Era
The "Dark Republic Era" (Dökk lýðveldistímabil in Götaish), was a time of extreme violence that lasted from the start of the 1st Gothic Civil War in 1470 and ending in 1501 after the 2nd Gothic Civil War in which Magnus retakes his sister crown. The dates of the "DRE" are strongly agreed a pound. As before 1465 there was really no panic in the house of jarls over the monarchs handing of the nation. Even today most historians can't agree why some far outsider Jarls would take the change or more widely known a political suicide.
The Dark Republic era starts with the 1st Gothic Civil War with King Magnus V having ruled for 40 yrs by the start of the war. The kings supports are called the "Royalist" as they are the ones that back the current King and government. The "Republicans" lead by leader Charles Johansson are a group of far out jarls that wish to bring down the monarchy. The civil war starts the "Royalist" winning most of the battles but by 1475 it starts to turn againest the king and his supports and the "Republicans" where taking large parts of there kingdom. By 1478 the king was heath was becoming worse by the day. And on the morning of 1 September 1479, King Magnus V of Blekinge die's sometime during his sleep. Over the next couple hours Prince Magnus is sent for as he well be the King of Blekinge. But the Prince has a much different plan and that was and also what happened was he refused the crown and title of King, instead giving it to his little (and only 100% biological) sister Christina I. Christina was only 19 years old when becoming Queen of Blekinge. After becoming queen she quickly focased on the issuse at hand the bloodly civil war. From late 1479 until early 1481 the queen's forces gained much of the land lost when her father was become quit ill. But her success where not to last long as by Spring of 1481 the "Reps" called by the royalist for short where gaining on the capital. By summer they had the capital surronded on all sides land and sea. With the capital of Göteborg surround the only opion was to escape the city by tunnel and head towards friendly Medovia. But unforsgal they are seen and arrested. Christina would spend the remind of her life in a Republican prison. And also being physical wiped and other things as written by personal biographer. Christina would be executed 11 January 1486 at the age of 25. Most belivie she was probally hanged and not behead as most "Reps" saw her a a victum of the monarchy but some wished other means of death for the former queen of Blekinge. After her death the "Republicans" would radickly change the nation but soon most supporters of the "Reps" where know focaced on getting rich of the monarchys emergy money estimates believe there was probally $1.2 million in todays money. The superintendent as what Chrales Johansson would go by his regin as leader wasn't to bad for tje average blekish citizen but for the royal family and upper class citizens ot was a nightmare. With the execution of the last queen Christina most of her family would feil for friend nations around them. But some would never make it as the rebs would once in a will recive a tip of who and where they planning on escaping. The next superintendent August Charlesson was by for the weast for tje people as he would single handly distory the ecomony of blekinge almost staring a civil war before dieing of unknown c
Early Modern Blechingia
Wars of Independence
Blechingia was at the start of the 18th century a major military threat to the Grand Duchy of Krenya. As the nation had multiple colonies in the region the largest being the Aleman Colony to which would by the start of the 18th century include the geatish city of Malmö as a gift to Krenya empire for helping the Blekinge Queen Olivia I keep her crown that was almost taken from her by her cousins the Alexanders. The second and smallest colony was Étaín a small island nation located in the Ice (Óighír) Sea and about 1906 km from the moderon capital of Blechingia Malmö. The island was an important stop for the Krenyan Ships as it would let them rest and fuel up for the final 1906 km jounary that wasn't always a smooth ride.
