The territory that is now Erania has been inhabited by a variety of peoples indigenous to that region of Siduri, but at the time of Erani migration eastward was populated predominantly by various Sado and Sidi tribes, indigenous groups originating from modern day Knichus and Liriniya respectively. The oral history of both the Erani and Sidi states that this was a significant period of conflict in Erania, during which the migrating tribes forced the Sidi westward, first into the desert, before pushing them into modern Knichus. No written records of this period exist, but the narrative is supported by archaeological findings in Erania. The first written account of Erania comes from a Symmerian traveler named ____, who wrote about his experiences with the Erania in 481. Erania was conquered by the Symmerians in 665 following the Sabrian Wars, after which began a period of mass hellenic migration to Erania. The Erani regained their independence after a brief conflict with the Symmerians in 1152. The Erani began a period of relative isolation from other nations for much of the middle ages as part of an active effort by its native inhabitants, though written acccounts from both Erania and other countries attest that foreigners still frequently traveled through Erania during this time.

The oral histories of both the Erani and Sidi state that this was a significant period of conflict in Erania, during which the migrating tribes forced the Sidi westward, an event which serves as the root of Erani-Sidi enmity to the present. Although no written records of this period are known exist, the narrative is supported by archaeological work performed primarily by Erani, Syaran, and Acrean scholars. The first written account of Erania comes from a Symmerian traveler named ____, who wrote about his experiences with the Erania in 481. Erania was conquered by the Symmerians in 665 following the Sabrian Wars, and would remain under Symmerian control for nearly five centuries. During this period, Erania was the destination for widespread migration, predominantly from Hellenic settlers lured by the region's extremely fertile soil. Symmerian rule marked a profound change in traditional Erani society and culture as it experienced significant social, cultural, and demographic changes. Prior to the Symmerians, the idea of Erania as a single polity was a fringe concept amongst the Erani themselves, who often regarded each other based on their tribal allegiances rather than as a singular people. The Erani regained their independence after a revolt and brief conflict with the Symmerians in 1152.


The newly independent Erani Confederation adopted a policy of voluntary isolationism at the behest of the Lamed Tav, one of the most prominent social and political groups during the Erani Revolt. Lamed Tav's prominence came from its big tent nature; it's ruling council included the largest number of prominent Erani tribes, and so was broadly considered the most "legitimate" group to govern a fledgling Erani nation.


Erania's relative isolation was challenged when Acrean naval officer Alexander Vennerod arrived in the country in 1461. Exploiting ideological and socioeconomic divisions between various Erani clans were divided along ideological lines, with the northernising Ngāti Maru and their allies confronted by a number of southern clans opposing another permanent foreign presence in Auroa who united into the Arawa Confederation. Disagreements between the Maru and the Arawa spilled out into open conflict in 1493, during which Acrea entered the war on the side of the Maru. Using guerilla tactics, the Arawa persisted for over a decade before suing for peace in 1505. Largely under the control of the Ngāti Maru and their allies, Auroa was united under a single government based in Koori, given tributary status by the Acrean crown, and incorporated as an Acrean protectorate. It retained this status until it was fully recognised as an Acrean territory in 1606, which extended Acrean law to Auroa and granted Auroans representation in the Riksdag.
In practice, Erani isolationism meant a hard but fairly porous border. Writings from Symmerian, Acrean, and Padovan travelers described a society that was fairly open to travelers and traveling merchants, but which largely resisted any form of standing foreign influence. The Erani economy benefitted greatly from Lamed Tev's openness to trade, though this eventually led to the policy being broken. Erani isolation is considered to have ended with the arrival of Acrean traders beginning in 1441 led by Alexander Vennerod Rollosson, a naval officer from a prominent banking family based in Ravenna, who initially landed and established themselves in the city of Tiber. The Vennerods' bank became the first foreign institution to be established in Erania since the end of Symmerian rule, and opened the gates to a rapid exchange of connections culminating in the establishment of embassies in Rena and Tiber by the Acrean Crown and Lamed Tav in 1460.  


Erania remained an Acrean territory until the 20th century. It was granted co-equal status with Acrea in the Riksdag in 1947, and later ratified and adopted its own constitution in 1990, making Erania fully independent.  
Erania, at the time, was in a state of growing instability and disunity driven by growing inequality between different ruling clans. Wealth had disproportionately accumulated in the fertile west and center of the country, driven by a combination of trade and agriculture, and away from the east. Less arable land, smaller ports, poorer infrastructure, and frequent harassment by Sidi tribes from further east made trading in that region of Erania harder and riskier for merchants. Further exacerbating the problem was the different political factions that governed the east and west. Where Lamed Tav had consolidated its power in the west, their largest political opposition in Erania came from the religious eastern-based Tsadayin. The economic inbalance between different regions of Erania precipitated a growing ideological divide between Lamed Tav and the Tsadayin; as those in the west became more open to their new trade and political partners, the frequency and degree of foreign migration into Erania increased. Tsadayin's opposition was not necessarily to the people, but the accompanying cultural and religious influence that came with them. This included a growing population of Erani scholars who had begun to formally study and introduce Eracuran religions to Erani academics, and in some cases conversions and intermarriage.
 
Fundamentally opposed to these things, internal divisions within Erania grew and eventually spilled out into open conflict in 1480. The immediate cause was the [[Treaty of Rakka]], in which Acrean financial and material assistance to a number of northwestern regions of Erania was traded for a seat of an Acrean representative in Lamed Tav. Tiber's forces were initially outmatched in engagements by the Tsadayin whose militia were experienced from years of conflict with the Sidi. After a string of defeats in the east, Lamed Tav's military leadership subsequently appealed to the Acrean Crown for assistance; Acrean aid and advisers would prove decisive in wearing down the Tsadayin. Following the end of violence in 1504, all Erani land was consolidated under Lamed Tav, and Erania was granted status as an Acrean protectorate. Migration and integration intensified afterwards, to include the Erani capital moving from the ancient city of Avtalyon to Tiber. Erania retained this status until it was fully recognised as an Acrean territory in 1605, which extended Acrean law to Erania and granted the Erani representation in the Riksdag. Erania remained an Acrean territory until the 20th century. It was granted co-equal status with Acrea in the Riksdag in 1905, and later ratified and adopted its own constitution in 1950. Erania became formally independent in a gradual process beginning in 1990, and ending in 1992.


Today, Erania is a developed country with a moderately high mean income. Technology and agriculture form the majority of its economy, whose competing interests have been a longstanding focal point of political debate within the country. Erania maintains a professional standing army, resulting from its highly militarised status under Acrean rule as well as the cultural disposition of both its native and colonial-descent populations.

==History==
Auroa has traditionally been divided into territory controlled by various clans, which were divided amongst both tribal and ethnic lines. Two ethnic groups are included under the label of native Auroans: the Aōtea. Both the Aōtea largely resisted foreign influence into their lands, desiring to preserve their traditional culture and often had strict controls on trade, though some tribes were more open than others.
Auroa's relative isolation ended in 1461 with the arrival of Alexander Vennerod, an Acrean naval officer leading a flotilla of four Acrean warships. Vennerod landed at the major Aōtean coastal city of Koori. In negotiations with the Ngāti Maru, a mixed Aōtean clan which ruled that region, Vennerod delivered the request that they open their land to foreign trade and relations. In addition to being a symbolic message, Vennerod's warships also carried a large volume of goods intended as demonstrations and gifts including firearms and gunpowder. After a month of talks, the Ngāti Maru agreed to negotiate opening their territory, with Vennerod acting as a mediator between the Ngāti Maru and the Acrean crown. In 1463, the Ngāti Maru agreed open their capital city to Acrean trade and signed the Treaty of Narara. In addition to new trade, the Treaty also allowed the establishment of a diplomatic mission in Koori. Vennerod commandeered a former local clan administrator's office to house it after he returned to the country in 1464. Although other clans gradually opened their lands as well, the Maru rapidly expanded their power due to their new wealth and wide adoption of new technolgies, such as firearms. Acrean influence in the Maru also expanded exponentially, which created conflicts between the Maru and their allied clans, and a large bloc of clans primarily from the south and east of Auroa who disliked the foreign presence in northern Auroa. Grievances and disagreements grew gradually over the course of several decades, during which Acrea's presence in Auroa grew exponentially. Permanent merchants had established themselves in Koori by 1470, and an Acrean diaspora had congregated in the city from the families of diplomats, merchants, and prospective businesspeople in an enclave named New Alexandria, in dual honour of Vennerod and the ancient Acrean city.
Tensions between the Maru and other clans broke out into a conflict in 1493. The southern Aōtean clans united into a confederation called the Arawa to confront the Maru. Heavily outnumbered and outgunned, the Maru called on Acrea for assistance, who joined the war on the side of the Maru bringing with them substantial numbers and armaments than the Arawa could muster. The Arawa initially engaged the Acreans and the Maru in pitched battles, utilising traditional Aōtean tactics. They suffered several major defeats at the hand of the Acreans and the Maru. As a result, rather than face the Acreans and Maru in open battle, the Arawa engaged them in a protracted guerilla conflict, sacrificing much territory in the process but drawing out the conflict for over two decades.

Erania, officially the Republic of Erania, is a country located in Siduri in Tyran. It is bordered to the west by Knichus and to the south by Lemobrogia.

The territory that is now Erania has been inhabited by a variety of peoples indigenous to that region of Siduri, but at the time of Erani migration eastward was populated predominantly by Sidi tribes, indigenous groups originating from modern day Knichus. The oral histories of both the Erani and Sidi state that this was a significant period of conflict in Erania, during which the migrating tribes forced the Sidi westward, an event which serves as the root of Erani-Sidi enmity to the present. Although no written records of this period are known exist, the narrative is supported by archaeological work performed primarily by Erani, Syaran, and Acrean scholars. The first written account of Erania comes from a Symmerian traveler named ____, who wrote about his experiences with the Erania in 481. Erania was conquered by the Symmerians in 665 following the Sabrian Wars, and would remain under Symmerian control for nearly five centuries. During this period, Erania was the destination for widespread migration, predominantly from Hellenic settlers lured by the region's extremely fertile soil.

The Erani regained their independence after a revolt and brief conflict with the Symmerians in 1152.

The newly independent Erani Confederation adopted a policy of voluntary isolationism at the behest of the Lamed Tav, one of the most prominent social and political groups during the Erani Revolt.
