History

Ancient times

Locotimian Empire was first formed in 134AC after multiple tribes in Northern Takaria united into one country. King Psezalon declared Locotima an Empire in 332AC after gaining control of most parts of Northern Takaria. The empire had its ups and downs through its ancient times but people were satisfied with the ruling and they looked at their leaders as gods. Locotimians had a saying "God gave his power to our Emperor, therefore he should be praised". And then the dark age arrived, the middle century.

Middle Century

During the XV century Locotimian Empire suffered major loses both economically and teritorially. Invasions from South forced Locotima to find a solution and survive these invasions. Southern Kingdoms were beaten after a 7 year war and Locotimian Empire expanded to the South gaining control over central Takaria. During the XVI and XVII centuries, Locotimian Empire was one of the most powerful empires in Telrova, feudalism was growing and many famous sites were built, such as Locothingham Palace, Hedbury Castle, Snowdon Fortress... during the XVIII century many inventions made Locotima stick out as a progressive country.

New Age

XIX century, also called Golden Age was a period when Locotimian Empire gained control over most regions in Takaria, ships were traveling all over the ocean, schools were no longer a part of the church, church started loosing power in the Empire. Feudalism was officialy banned in 1885, and many activists started their fights for certain rights.

• Feminism was a mostly women led act fighting for equality of men and women. Other than that, they fought for voting rights, and within the next 15 years (1900) they gained their right to vote, to have a job, and get a salary. In 1925 Feminists announced their victory for basic human rights after Joanne Smith got the highest salary in a man owned company. Soon most women got equal salaries to the other gender. Divorce was legalized in 1878 when Empress Tatiana divorced Duke Francois.

• In the XX century, modern political parties were formed and state media was less government controlled. Privatisation was growing with over 60% private owned land. Some of the poltical parties formed were: Radical Party, Socialist Party, Liberal Party

First car was created in Locotima in late 1890s, and soon after all wealthy people owned one, in 1940s cars became an ordinary thing to see on the streets, they were no longer considered high class vehicles, and roads and infrastracture were built.

For the first time ever, a leader was assasinated, Emperor William VI was assasinated while taking his afternoon walk in the South Hedbury Park

by 1980s Locotima had a colony in most continets, the most important being Angrosia.

Colonial past

Locotimian Empire was a huge colonial empire in the XX century, most of the money arrived from these overseas colonies. Angrosia was the best developed region still under foreign rule.Locotima carried out an aggressive policy of industrialization and development in the region. Mainly due to it's rich natural resources, which the royal family desired more efficient extraction. Roads were built, mines were opened, and migrant workers flooded the area. This alone was not a bad development, as the increased GDP allowed the Angrosian standard of living to be raised drastically. Still geography remained Angrosia's biggest challenge, many of these mining and forestry settlements were far inland, and even the migrant workers began feeling more solidarity with one another. Many realized, correctly, that the Locotimian colonial authorities simply did not have the resources to patrol, let alone investigate, the entire country. While port and trade settlements remained extremely loyal to the Crown, the interior became more and more of a wild west as people realized that the laws didn't need to apply to them, because in 90% of the cases, the authorities simply would not come. Local militias were established, off the books mining operations, even cases of workers hiding money in caves they had mapped out, so they didn't have to pay taxes. Locotima tried several times to send in the military, but they couldn't out manoeuvre the locals, whose knowledge of the land made them one step ahead. The Royal Family tried to create local battalions known as the Angrosian army, but they were often simply paid off by the locals to not enforce laws, or simply conspired to pretend to while engaging in the illegal conduct themselves. This agony ended when Queen Victoria granted Semi-autonomy to the region in 1947. Later on King George II granted Angrosia full independence. The body of Queen Victoria is still located in the Saint Catharine's cathedral in modern day Timiskrane.

21st century

In the year 2000, exactly at midnight between December 31st 1999 and January 1st 2000, Locotimians had a huge parade, and most restaurants and nightclubs were opened until the morning. This was the largest celebration ever to happen in Locotima ever since the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1919.

Locotimian architecture accepted modern ideas and skyscrapers were built, during this period, a completely new city was built in the Saah desert, called Heeldorado. This city used to be everyone's pride because it was ahead of it's time and it was a very modern and developed city, over 2,000,000 Hedbury residents moved to Heeldorado to start a new life.

Locotima followed the modern ways and in 2024, Locotima together with 6 other nations formed the Telrovan Union shortly after, TU gained new members, had it's own currency, and had members in almost all continents. In 2025 Telrovan Union signed a joint declaration of peace with the United Federation of Telrova.
