Racinia was colonized by the [[Canterian Empire]] in the 1600s for it's ability to produce cash-crops. Gaining independence in 1787, Racinia would develop a more mercantile and urban character that would see the country emancipate its slaves between 1854 and 1859. After which industrialization would occur at a gradual pace before exploding in the 1880s due to prove mining techniques that allowed the exploitation of harder to reach iron and coal resources. General economic prosperity would continue until the 1940s, at which point the country entered a recession that would take nearly 30 years to come out of. [[The Lost Decades]] would see heavy political discontent spurred on my seemingly permanent recession. Political extremists, communist and fascist, committed acts of terror and waged a low-level guerrilla war in the western interior. Both against the government and each other. The Lost Decades would end with the tech boom of the 1980s that helped revitalize the economy and [[Operation Ruttu Custodiri]] that broke the backs of extremist paramilitaries.
