| The [[Names of Hrvadans and Hrvada|name of Hrvada]] derives from the name of the [[Hrvadans|Hrva people]] who migrated from the continent of Poyoinen to modern-day Hrvada around 15,000 years ago. It is a general consensus among historians, etymologists, and researchers that the word "Hrva" means "old Poyoinens" and the suffix ''da'' is a corruption of the [[Hrvadan]] word "de" meaning "promise." Thus "Hrvada" loosely translates to "promise of the old Poyoinens." There is great debate regarding what this exactly means, but the leading theory has to do with a Hrva [[Hrvadan folk religion|folk deity]] promising to deliver the modern-day country to the Hrva people.

| ===Paleolithic era and Hrva settlement===
| |
|
| |
| Thanks to evidence of paleolithic technology found in cave sites near [[Bijehrast]], [[Pustinja]], it is generally accepted by historians and other researchers that ''Homo sapiens'' first started inhabiting modern-day Hrvada between 80,000 and 170,000 years ago. These original inhabitants of Hrvada were known to be dark skinned thanks to the country's location along the equator and maintained a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Today, around [[Black Hrvadans|9% of Hrvadans]] can trace their ethnicity back to the original paleolithic inhabitants.
| |
|
| |
| [[Hrvadans|Hrva people]] began migrating south from the continent of [[Poyoinen]] at least 15,000 years ago; however, some evidence suggests an even earlier date of arrival. By 14,000 BC, a massive influx Hrva migrants violently murdered or enslaved the original paleolithic inhabitants. Over time the Hrva population grew increasingly complex developing advanced agriculture, architecture, and complex social and cultural traditions. Unlike their predecessors the Hrva had lighter skin and eventually maintained a sedentary lifestyle, founding major settlements like [[Diguskia]] near modern-day [[Sveti Josip]], [[Kanui]] which remains one of the first, most complex, and largest Hrva archaeological sites in modern-day Hrvada. Today, around [[Hrvadans|85% of Hrvadans]] can trace their ethnicity back to the Hrva settlers.

| [[File:Crucifixion of Isus 1.jpg|thumb|upright|left|The crucifixion of [[Jesus the Uljeskan|Isus Christ]], a key event in [[Christianity in the RCN|Christianity]], took place outside of the city of [[Imperia]] in 33 AD]]
| |
|
| |
| By 27 BC, [[Hrvadans|Hrva people]] had already settled the entirety of modern-day Hrvada and united it under the banner of the autocratic [[Hrvadan Empire]], led at that time by [[Dioklecijan|Emperor Dioklecijan]] who ruled over the country from his seat of power in [[Hrvadagrad]]. During this era, the Hrvadan underclass congregated in major cities and made a living as soldiers or skilled laborers. Wealthier Hrvadans mostly lived on large plantations in rural areas where they managed major agricultural operations specializing in mainly rice, beans, coffee, and tobacco crops grown and harvested almost exclusively by [[Black Hrvadans|Black Hrvadan slaves]]. With the exception of a notable [[Judaism in the RCN|Jewish]] population in the northeastern part of Hrvada dating back to at least 2000 BC, the majority Hrvadans adhered to [[Hrvadan folk religion]].
| |
|
| |
| According to the consensus of most historians and researchers; in 4 BC, Jewish preacher and central figure in [[Christianity in the RCN|Christianity]], [[Jesus the Uljeskan|Isus Christ]], was born in the city of [[Betlehem]], [[Uljeska]]. According to the Christian gospels, after his baptism in the [[Vojnik River]], Isus started his ministry across the mainly Jewish parts of northeastern Hrvada. Along with his twelve appointed apostles, he preached and administered miracles around his home region of Uljeska and then later in and around the at the time largely Jewish city of [[Imperia]] where he was ultimately rejected and [[Crucifixion of Jesus the Uljeskan|crucified]] in 33 AD. After the crucifixion, [[Saint Petar|Petar]] one of the twelve apostles, left Hrvada to preach Christianity and establish the seat of the Christian church in modern-day [[Attancia]].
| |
|
| |
| In 45 AD, inspired by what he claimed was "vision from the Jewish God" instructing him to "punish the Jews for rejecting the Son of God," [[Hadrijane|Hrvadan Emperor Hadrijane]] marched northeast from Hrvadagrad along with thirteen legions with the ultimate goal of the complete eradication of Judaism in Hrvada. When he reached Imperia he prohibited the adherence of Torah law in the city, installed a statue of himself in the Jewish Temple sanctuary, burned the sacred scrolls of Judaism that were stored in the Temple, and executed Jewish scholars. Overall as a consequence of this event; practice of Judaism was prohibited in Hrvada (until [[Hrvadan Charter of Freedoms|1776]]), over 500,000 Hrvadan Jews were exterminated, and the massive death and destruction led to the [[Jewish diaspora in the RCN|Jewish diaspora]].

|
| |
| In 306 AD [[Konstantine]] was coronated [[Emperor of Hrvada]]. In addition to enacting administrative, financial, social and military reforms to strengthen the empire; Konstantine was also known for being the first Christian leader of Hrvada. His reign yielded the adoption of [[Attancian Catholicism]] as the official religion of Hrvada as well as the construction of the [[Church of the Resurrection]] on the purported site of Isus' tomb in [[Imperia]], greatly accelerating the conversion of the Hrvadan people from the ancient [[Hrvadan folk religion|folk religion]] to Christianity. According to the consensus of most historians; the [[Hrvadan Empire]] reached its political, economic, and military apex under Konstantine.
| |
|
| |
| Concerned with the apparent decline of the Hrvadan Empire's military and economic strength, a breakdown in social order and cohesion, rampant degeneracy, and the imperial throne's attempts to abolish slavery; on [[Black March|1 March 476]] a group of twelve affluent Hrvadans known as the [[Grand Council]] marched into [[Hrvadagrad]] along with an army consisting of 100,000 people, meeting little resistance. As a response to this, [[Romul|Emperor Romul]] abdicated the throne and ceded power to the Council, beginning the Hrvadan Oligarchy era.

| |
|
| |
| From the 476 [[Black March]] coup to the start of the [[Hrvadan Civil War]] in 1859, the Oligarchy era spanned a period of major development, reform, and stability in Hrvada under the leadership of the [[Grand Council]]. On 17 July 1191 the Council officially divided the country into [[Hrvadan provinces|14 provinces]], granting each limited self-governmental powers (including the power to levy taxes). On 29 July 1776, the Grand Council ratified the [[Hrvadan Charter of Freedoms]] which expanded the civil rights and individual liberties afforded to the Hrvadan citizenry.
| |
|
| |
| Nearing the end of the Oligarchy era, the council passed a series of reforms that some argue led to the Hrvadan Civil War. Most historians consider this period of time to be Hrvada's [[Antebellum Hrvada|antebellum era]]. On 2 January 1807, in a complete reversal of its pro-slavery position leading up to and during the 476 Black March coup, the Grand Council issued a historic proclamation [[Abolitionism in Hrvada|emancipating all enslaved peoples within the borders of Hrvada]] as well as prohibiting the sale of slaves at Hrvadan ports. In 1845 the Grand Council levied Hrvada's first ever tax on the national level, a 1% tax on the sale of all goods and services within Hrvada in order to pay for the construction of the [[Hrvadan Transnational Railroad|Transnational Railroad]] which would eventually connect [[Imperia]] to [[Sveti Franjo]]. These actions angered many Hrvadans, especially business owners and slave owners in the southern provinces, and initiated the debate regarding the Grand Council's absolute power as well as provincial rights that ultimately led to the Civil War.

| |
|
| |
| Sectional conflict regarding political representation, provincial rights, and economic disparities between the industrial north and agricultural south ultimately led to the [[Hrvadan Civil War]]. Between 3 August and 5 October 1859, five southern provinces ([[Cvijecia]], [[Juzetarska]], [[Pijemont]], [[Prijat]], and [[Velrika]]) seceded from the rest of the country to form [[Federalist Hrvada]]; while the central government, known as [[Council Hrvania]], maintained that such actions were illegal.
| |
|
| |
| The first shots of the Civil War were fired on 11 October 1859 near [[Prolaz]], Prijat when Federalist militiamen successfully took over an isolated Council outpost that [[Battle of Fort Magda|refused to transfer control]] to the newly formed Federalist government. Other notable battles and campaigns during the Civil War include: the [[Battle of Ferfaks]] on 1 December 1859 when Council troops took control over the city of [[Ferfaks]], Pijemont creating a buffer between the Council capital city of [[Hrvadagrad]] and the Federalist army. [[Stošija's March to the Lakes]] between February 1860 and March 1861 when Federalist General [[Denis Stošija]] marched his army from [[Kraljev]], Pijemont to [[Ravno]], [[Prerija]] wrecking havoc across the Council-controlled province of Prerija and cutting Council Hrvada into two separate parts. [[Darko's Mountain Campaign]] between January 1861 and November 1861 where Council General [[Gabrijel Darko]] halted Federalist efforts to march west into the Council-controlled province of [[Pustinja]] while outnumbered and under-supplied. And the [[Battle of Vukovar (1863)|Battle of Vukovar]] on 4 April 1863 where Council troops failed to capture the strategic port city of [[Vukovar]], [[Juzetarska]] and set up a foothold on the [[Juzetarska River]].
| |
|
| |
| By late 1863, citing high casualties on both sides as well as a stalemate on all fronts; both sides agreed to the [[Treaty of Alexandria]] which mandated a white peace as well as the formation of a [[Reconstruction Council]] made up of both Council and Federalist representatives who would be tasked with creating a compromise form of government for Hrvada.
| |
|
| |
| The Hrvadan Reconstruction Council convened following the Treaty of Alexandria on 25 December 1863. Members of the reconstruction council included [[Prime Minister of Federalist Hrvada|Federalist Prime Minister]] [[Davor Josip]], Federalist General Denis Stošija, Council Hrvada representative [[Aljoša Lončar]], and others. After more than a year of deliberations on 9 April 1865, the reconstruction council ratified the [[Constitution of Hrvada]]. The new "compromise constitution" preserved the [[Grand Council of Hrvada|Grand Council]] which Federalists saw as "oligarchic" and "undemocratic", created the democratically elected [[Parliament of Hrvada|Sabor]] which could put checks on the Grand Council, and vastly increased provincial autonomy.

| |
|
| |
| In 1868, precious metals were discovered in Western Hrvada leading to the [[Hrvadan Gold Rush]], this event spurred a massive influx of migration to the western provinces. In mid-1869, ninety-seven [[Furbish Islands|Furbish]] pirates raided the port of [[Vukovar]], [[Juzetarska]] in an attempt to steal a barge loaded with gold shipped east from the [[Stjenjak Mountains]]. The plot was thwarted by the [[Hrvadan Coast Guard]] and the instigators were found guilty of piracy and sentenced to death by a Hrvadan court.
| |
|
| |
| In-response to such action, the Furbish government sent a strongly worded letter to Hrvada demanding the immediate release of the pirates who were Furbish citizens; the Hrvadan government replied by insulting the Furbish Islands by comparing the country to the biblical Tower of Babel. In early-1870, the Furbish Islands declared [[Hrvadan-Furbish War of 1870|war]] and successfully captured Vukovar using a small naval fleet and a group of marines led by [[Gabriël Van Aarle]], freeing the Furbish pirates who were held in a prison in the city. The Furbish invaders were eventually pushed back by a detachment of the [[Hrvadan Army]] led by Major General [[Andrija Hikori]] before they could move farther inland and were forced to evacuate the city, ending the war. Although the Hrvadan-Furbish War of 1870 was considered a tactical victory for the Furbish Islands due to their successful evacuation of its citizens, Hrvada's strategic victory in the war is seen as one of the most important post-[[Hrvadan Civil War|civil War]] unifiers. After this incident, Hrvadan-Furbish relations would remain damaged for more than ninety years.
| |
|
| |
| In [[1880 Hrvadan General Election|1880]], Andrija Hikori was elected Prime Minister of Hrvada due to his status as a hero in the War of 1870. Hikori's premiership oversaw a period of increased urbanization and an influx of immigration from countries such as [[Attancia]] and [[Logar]] which supplied much needed labor for industrialization and drove a transformation of Hrvadan culture. Infrastructure and inventions such as telegraph lines and [[Hrvadan Transnational Railroad|transnational railroads]] spurred economic growth, increased communication, and the the rise of super-wealthy industrialists.
| |
|
| |
| During the premiership of Andrija Hikori, the right to vote in Hrvadan elections was granted to all white men over the age of 16.

| |
|
| |
| Social unrest and discontent with elite industrialists led to the rise of populist, anarchist, socialist, and labor organizations who focused on reforming or even revolting against the Hrvadan economic system. [[Social Democratic Party of Hrvada|Social Democratic]] politician [[Tvrtko Biklos]] channeled this anger among the common people and used it to be elected to the office of [[Prime Minister of Hrvada|Prime Minister]] in [[1901 Hrvadan General Election|1901]], historians refer to this election as "Red June." As Prime Minister, Biklos passed a series of progressive reforms including; the establishment of five new ministries ([[Ministry for Education (Hrvada)|Education]], [[Ministry for the Environment (Hrvada)|Environment]], [[Ministry for Health (Hrvada)|Health]], [[Ministry for the Interior (Hrvada)|Interior]], and [[Ministry for Labor (Hrvada)|Labor]]), regulation of the quality of food and drugs, worker safety legislation, the formation of Hrvada's first [[List of national parks of Hrvada|National Parks]], the establishment of the [[Hrvadan Central Bank]], expansion of the right to vote in Hrvadan elections to white women, the levying of a federal tax on income, the implementation of the Hrvadan [[Social Security in Hrvada|Social Security]] system, and the establishment of government healthcare programs for the poor and elderly ([[Medicare in Hrvada|Medicare]] and [[Medicaid in Hrvada|Medicaid]]).
| |
|
| |
| Following a 15 year reign as Prime Minister, Biklos finally stepped down in 1916. Thanks to a forty-year period of economic growth and general stability after the Biklos premiership, this time in Hrvadan history is known as the [[Hrvadan Era of Good Feelings|era of Good Feelings]].

| |
|
| |
| Following the [[Abolitionism in Hrvada|emancipation of Hrvada's slaves]] in 1807, [[Black Hrvadans]] continued to face widespread racism and discrimination across the country. In 1956, seeking civil rights (including the right to vote) and an end to racism, groups of Blacks instigated large-scale protests. This movement of civil rights protesters marked the end of the [[Hrvadan Era of Good Feelings|era of Good Feelings]]. In the summer of 1957, the civil rights movement took a violent turn as non-violent protests escalated to rioting and looting. Responses to this [[Long Hot Summer]] varied; in [[Vjetragrad]], [[Prerija]], [[Mayor of Vjetragrad|mayor]] [[Nikola Dalibor Sr.]] implemented a city-wide curfew order and instructed the [[Vjetragrad Police Department]] to shoot anyone breaking the order on-sight. In Vjetragrad alone, 122 people were killed and thousands were injured.
| |
|
| |
| Running on a moderate platform promising both law-and-order and limited civil rights legislation, [[Hrvadan Republican Party|Republican]] politician [[Ratimir Nižić]] was elected [[Prime Minister of Hrvada|Prime Minister]] in [[1958 Hrvadan General Election|1958]]. Nižić oversaw the passage of anti-discrimination and anti-poverty legislation as well as the expansion of the right to vote to non-white Hrvadan adults, while subsequently supporting an anti-riot bill and the arrest of major civil rights leaders on charges ranging from misdemeanor vandalism to sedition.
| |
|
| |
| Throughout the 1960's, Prime Minister Nižić pursued a policy of increasing Hrvada's cooperation with other nations around the globe. In 1964, Nižić became the first Hrvadan Prime Minister since the [[Hrvadan-Furbish War of 1870]] to conduct a [[Ratimir Nižić's 1964 visit to the Furbish Islands|state-visit]] to the [[Furbish Islands]]. During this visit, Nižić visited with multiple Furbish leaders, toured landmarks in the Furbish Islands, and ultimately agreed to reset Hrvadan-Furbish relations. Nižić's visit to the Furbish Islands fostered partnership and completely repaired relations between the two countries.

| The end of the premiership of [[Ratimir Nižić]] marked another sustained era of political and economic stability in Hrvada. This however changed in 1989 during the [[Panic of 1989]] when the [[Imperia Stock Exchange]] experienced a sudden, severe, and largely unexpected crash — losing 33% of it's value in less than an hour. Although the markets surged around 19% the next day thanks to an influx of cash from wealthy investors, hedge funds, and the [[Hrvadan Central Bank]]; the effort was not enough to avoid a recession that put millions of Hrvadans out of work and decreased the GDP by around 8%. The Hrvadan economy wouldn't start growing again until 1992 and wouldn't reach pre-panic of 1989 levels until the year 2000.

| Starting in the mid-2000's, mass illegal migration from countries like [[Kevoria]] among other issues would spark the gradual rise of far-right political movements including the [[The Confederation (Hrvada)|Confederation Party]] and the terrorist group known as the [[Ustaše - Hrvadan Revolutionary Movement]] (U-HRP) which in 2011 was behind the [[2011 U-HRP terrorist attack|killing of over 78 people]] (including 69 children) at a camp for [[Dodoians|Dodoian]] expats living in Hrvada.

| |
| On the night of 31 May 2021, the [[PH Endeavor Disaster|''PH Endeavor'' oil rig exploded]], killing 67 people and leaking over 60,000 barrels of oil a day into Hrvadan waters. The ''PH Endeavor'' disaster was one of the worst modern environmental disasters in Hrvadan history — shutting down all recreational and economic activity around the disaster, endangering countless animal and plant species, and dirtying hundreds of miles of coastline. Ultimately, cleanup for the disaster would take more than a month.
| |
|
| |
| In the [[2021 Hrvadan General Election]] the Confederation became the largest political party in the [[Parliament of Hrvada|Sabor]] — the first time a political party other than the [[Hrvadan Republican Party|Republicans]], [[Social Democratic Party of Hrvada|Social Democratcs]], or [[Liberal Party of Hrvada|Liberals]] managed to achieve the distinction — marking one of the biggest political upsets in Hrvadan history.

This was the second year that overall Hrvadan life expectancy rose slightly after three years of overall declines that followed decades of continuous improvement. The recent decline, primarily among the age group 25 to 64, was largely due to record highs in the drug overdose and suicide rates; the country still has one of the highest suicide rates among wealthy countries. From 1999 to 2020, more than 508,200 [[Hrvadans]] died from drug overdoses. Life expectancy was highest among the small population of [[Furbishmen|Furbish-Hrvadans]] and lowest among [[Black Hrvadans]].
