Etymology

The name "Advocatius" stems from the Northern Region of the former Tengrol Empire being referred to as "Advacathan" translating roughly to "Advocato land", from the regions large cultivation of Advocatos. When the earliest Anglian settlers arrived this name had stuck, so was then fragranised into the name "Advocatius", and when the country was purchased by Lysia it was lysianised into "Avouélos".

History

Pre-Colonial Period

Tomb of Dakahrah II of the Tengrol Empire.

Before colonial times, the area that would become Advocatius was primarily inhabited by the native group called Tengrols, which still inhabit the southern regions of the nation today. From 700 BC - 218 AD, there was the Tengrol Empire, which existed as the dominant power in Aurelia for centuries conquering much of the continents central regions, before the earliest Aroman settlers brought foreign disease to the land, and further conquering much of the continent, leading to the Empire's collapse. From this began a warring states period, collectively called the Tengrol Horde.

Anglian Silver Coast

In the year 1782 Great Anglia set up a colony at Jamestown (Modern Day Victoires) and quickly expanded along the coastline, this cause Anglia to come in contact with the Tengrols, of which was found large amounts of Silver reserves in the region, this caused a circular flow of trade between the natives and the Anglians, this was incredibly profitable for both sides and led decades of trade between the two groups however as time went on the price of silver began to lower, which for the Anglians meant that the colony had lost it's worth, this was supplemented by Kirvinian invasion of the region which meant that the colony had lost it's largest trading partner, after this Anglia decided to sell the colony, the buyer being Lysia in 1831.

First Angler War and Lysian rule

After the sale of the colony, the Anglian settlers were incredibly enraged to be subjugated among the Lysians, so they staged a 3 week Rebellion in Jamestown, this ended up being defeated by Victoire Allard, which is nowadays known as the Hero of the nation. Estimated casualties go from 900-1200 men lost during the Rebellion, what impact it had was that Jamestown was renamed to Victoires after Victoire Allard, and that many Anglian settlers moved into the western and eastern midlands to try and set up their own states, however these states were often short lived, as in opposite to the Anglian rulers, Lysia began invading inland in order to find other resources, to which they found materials such as aluminium, alongside this, now being able to grow greater numbers of Advocatos, which became a vital part of the colony. Once most of the land which had been named Advocatius by the initial explorers, it became the official name of the Colony.

Great Advocato Famine

In 1903 the colony, was heavily reliant on Advocatos for exports, being the largest advocato exporter in Aurelia and one of the biggest in the wurld, this naturally drew alot of freshwater for the growth of Advocatos of which Lysia prioritised. When demand skyrocketed this ment that many people did not have access to freshwater for basic survival, as Lysia continued to divert resources to Advocato plantations, this drastically effected the population, who were now being deprived of vital resources. This would continue for three years and thousands died of thirst, and many fled abroad. Lysia had realised that this would cripple the economy of Advocatius and began diverting water resources to the people, when Advocatius began recovering many criticised Lysia of attempted genocide of people such as Anglians and Tengrols which had been hit the hardest by the famine.

Second Angler War and road to Independence

In November 1925 Anglian Separatists in the Garrison Town of Talshire seized a weapons cache and with 400 men took over the town and proclaimed the 'Anglian Free State' and with it many separatists began flocking into the town and by the end of November had gained 3000 men. Lysia responded by sending 5000 soldiers to the neighbouring town of Dinan and from there several small skirmishes were fought across the Region as Lysia has sent forward squadrons in order to hold off any Anglian advance in order to prepare their men, this occurred over the period of 2 months before January 1st where the army split off into 5 groups in order to attack many Anglian scouting positions, they were mostly successful however a successful Angler defence in the innermost positions held of the Lysians for 3 days before running out of food and being forced to surrender, this continued over a few months before the Lysians reached the town itself and began sieging it, just after a day of siege the Separatists surrendered in February 1926. This impacted the nation as the war had taken the lives of 3000 men and the different groups began protesting against Lysian oppression on a much wider front, with Lysia still holding onto it however after a major protest in Victoires' Lysia conceded and on the 28th of April 1957, Advocatius became and independent Republic.
