History

See also: History of Littland

The Ruvians have been under control of Littland since the Treaty of Kehlborg in 1702.

The Ruvians first started coming together to discuss their place in Littland in the early 1800's, culminating in the First Ruvian Council in 1809. The Old Council as it's known, declared at Ruvians were different than Litts and as such, should be treated as such and with respect, dignity and care. Since 1702 Ruvians had seen oppression by ruling Littish monarchs.

The Dark Decade saw Ruvians oppressed by the Nordskov administration, deindustrializating the area and ignoring Ruvian pleas for political influence. During the Littish Civil War, the Old Council split over the issue of Nationalism or Socialism, with member unsure whether Ruvians had a better future as an independent state or under a socialist, and thus perceived, more equal Littland. This is still a topic of discussion today.

After the Civil War, rights for Ruvians and the recognition of majority-Ruvian areas were incorporated into the Constitution.

In November 2003 a referendum for a new Constitution was held, with the major change being the establishment of a Ruvian autonomous region. The referendum passed with 68.6% voting for it and on 1 August 2004, the Ruvian Autonomy was established.
