=== Early History ===
=== Early History ===
==== The Legend ====
=== Classical History ===
According to Legend, Pantaleon and Ferminius were both twins of an unnamed woman who, was working within a religious order and abstained from having children. One day during a regular event within the order, they suddenly were raided by a tribe, who ransacked their town and committed atrocities onto the people. Their leader, who was a king, found and decided to make sure the woman bear his child. The woman never agreed but was forced to do so against her own will, where she gave birth to both to Pantaleon and Ferminius. A year later, the king, realizing that his children could grow up and murder him, decides to murder the woman he impregnated against her own will, and make sure the twins drown by the river, which by today, is still unknown.  
=== Medieval History ===
=== Enlightenment History ===
=== Modern History ===
In the wake of the early modern history, Antienam was one of the pioneers of early intercontinental travel. With the invention of the steam engine by [a nation], Antienam with it's Azur Star Lines, brought the working class the ability to travel across the oceans in comfort, safety and luxury. The military was also being modernized through it's equipment, tactics, vehicles and mentality.  


The tribal soldiers hired by the king, soon find the woman unguarded with her children, and soon brought her to the river and decapitated her before subsequently dropping her head to the river, letting both the head and it's body bleed into the water. Unfortunately for the soldiers it made the job harder for them to drown the twins as they could not tell where they were due to the blood of the river. Unbeknownst to the soldiers the twins were long gone as they were carried by the river, to which after trying to find for so long, concluded they would've died from the current alone, and left the scene.


Meanwhile Pantaleon and Ferminius were luckily saved by a Shepherd, who saw the two frantically trying to swim, to which they were brought to their shelter presumably near modern day [[Konstantinoupole]]. The two would later be fed by the Shepherd's family. According to many religious scholars and a portion of historians who were keen in listening to legend, they all believed this shepherd was either a guardian Angel sent by the Lord, a shepherd who was appointed by him or was the lord himself. Whatever it may be, they agree this was one of the earliest known reference to Antienamese Christianity as a whole. Meanwhile, the soldiers who had murdered the woman, reported back to the king that they had killed both the woman and their children, to which the king rewarded them with Gold and Silver.
In the mid 1980's, the entire nation as [[1980 Antienamese Military Coup|engulfed in a military coup]], which brought an end to the Constanta Dynasty. The family was murdered in a basement within the deep winter forest, all except one child.


===== Pantaleon and Ferminius =====
== Society ==
Pantaleon and Ferminius would later grow up to be very capable warriors, often being on good terms. And soon when they were 18, gathered enough men to slaughter the monster that had murdered their own mother, by the late 770-760(?) gathered enough men and went on to do an act of vengeance. The king by this point, had grown old and corrupt, but when they heard that two people was coming to get him, without even realizing who they were, decided to gather his own men. The two met at battle outside of the king's town, which would later be called [[Battle of the Wills]], the King's men outnumbered the brothers by 2:1, and yet by sheer luck, the brothers won the decisive battle. The King died after falling off his horse and drowning by a river, connected to the original river where the woman of the brothers had originally died.
Antienam have traditionally been characterized as being "humble people," emphasizing and upholding their values of morality, religiousness, liberty and equality. Culturally, the nation is also described as having a high eagerness to be competitive while also devoting some of the time to being altruistic.
 
The Republic of Antienam is also considered by many to have the highest protection of personal freedom to an extent. However, defacing anyone of important monuments will still land a person in custody due to it's importance.  


After the battle had ended, Pantaleon and Ferminius would liberate the king's territory, and soon enough, by 753 a.C form their own country.
== Culture ==
Mostly all present Antienamese people or their ancestors came from multiple continents during the golden age of sail. As such, Antienamese culture largely derives itself from the influences of both the great west and the great eastern nations. And to an extent, the Antienamese people were also characterized as welcoming to the foreign immigrants wishing for a new life in the nation, due to the fact that Christianity was abundantly spread throughout the Republic, bringing in morality to the people and to the immigrants.  


==== Establishment of the Kingdom ====
=== Dress ===
Pantaleon and Ferminius would found Antienam by the year of 753 a.C, but under a kingdom. Despite being on good terms, this moment marked the tipping point between the brother's relationship, and that now Pantaleon grew a massive disdain towards his brother Ferminius, who had also grown to be an absolute womanizer. Antienam was founded where the city of Konstantinoupole would soon be located. The first act that Pantaleon would do was to fortify the walls of the city, where in later years would be rebuilt into the [[Great Walls of Konstantinoupole]].
Although there are no dress codes due to the nation's protection of personal freedom, there are still laws to abide by. The most important law is to dress modestly, that means many people have to refrain from showing their ''parts'' out in public.


Pantaleon would do most of the work, establishing many trading outposts outside of the kingdom, creating many farms, and creating a working class system similar to the modern day working class. Ferminius meanwhile took great interest with women, to which Pantaleon would see as blasphemy.


For a decade, the city would soon be a filled with various people, farmers, colonists, refugees and many others. Pantaleon by the end of the decade would create the very first army, researchers, scholars and historians alike estimate their army consisted of 500-900 recruits, equipped with the great ancestor of the famous [[Helenic Helmets]]. However, despite the advances in helmet technology, things could not be the same for their main armor, being just a simple plate over the chest and a large tunic that extends towards the knees. It was either that, or a copy of Helena’s armors, which were pretty rare in use. With the Antienamese pioneering a form of "shield warfare" using the famous [[wikipedia:Scutum|Scutum]] shields and short swords. It's important to understand that despite this, the army was heavily outnumbered, but their training made up for their strength. Pantaleon trained the army rigorously according to ancient sources.
During summer-autumn times, Antienamese people are prescribed in wearing moderately light outfits, however during the dreaded winter months many have to dress heavy clothing. The winter in Antienam is far colder and far longer than many nations. Despite being outdated, there is no regulation on wearing classical togas or even medieval robes, but it's often frowned upon by many of the elder community simply because it's an outfit from a bygone era.  


The Kingdom spanned a few miles away of where modern day Konstantinouple would be, however, it would not be long before Antienam had to face threats inland.
=== Literature ===
The Antienamese people are world-renowned for their literature, in both the arts and history. However, with many famous literary works, there will always be works that were lost. A great example of a piece of literature were the [[Patmos Scrolls]] which were originally thought to be either mythical, destroyed or something that was mistranslated was actually  recently discovered in 2007, giving scholars and historians alike a massive piece of history and literature to digest upon.  


==== The Latin Wars ====
=== Visual Arts ===
The Latin wars were a series of wars between the Kingdom of Antienam, and three nearby nations that are now provinces in modern day Antienam. Those were, the Picenum to the south, the Decamnites to the north-east and the nation of Helena. Lasting from 748 a.C to 743 a.C, this war was the first time Antienam would experience warfare since it's creation as a kingdom. The first war was the [[Decamnites War]] (748 a.C - 747 a.C), with the second being a [[war between Antienam and Helena]] (747 a.C - 744 a.C) and the [[war against Picenum]] (744 a.C - 743 a.C)


=== Music ===
Antienam is more-or-less described to having more of a rock and roll culture rather than hip hop. Even elements from Traditional Antienamese Music dating back from both classical and medieval can sometimes enter some of the rock songs of the modern era. Despite the Republic being oriented to rock and roll, Antienamese people also enjoy bluesy and big bands due to their brass sections. When it comes to the 20th century, one band comes to mind when it's Antienam, it's the [[The Beetles|Silverado Beetles, or their shortened name, the Beetles]], a pioneer of music. Aside from that, many can enjoy Mid-20th Century Antienamese jazz and rock stars such as [[John Fender]], [[Chop Susie]] and the talented [[Miss Le'Garde]] whom became global celebrities and best selling artists, as have musical artists of the later 20th century, such as [[Kenny Hetfield]] of [[MetalMania (Antienamese band)|MetalMania]], [[Mariablanca]], [[Johnny Jackson]] and [[Peters Theuomos (artist)|Peters Theuomos]] of the [[Tweezers (Antienamese rock band)|Tweezers]]. Even in the early 21st century, music is still popular, dubbed "OAM" which stood for Original Antienamese Music, the [[Rubberbands (Antienamese Band)|Rubberbands]] and [[Ballpens (Antienamese band)|Ballpens]] comes to mind when OAM.


The war between the Decamnites broke out by accident, when a small force of Decamnites mistakenly identified an Antienamese settlement for a barbaric tribe. They were quick to bloodshed and plundering whatever they could find. This event would be called the [[Sack of the Town of Umbral]], the town of Umbra would be located within modern day Strategopoulos. This shocked both the brothers, who by this point, were fed up putting up laws for the Kingdom. Despite their early defeat, Antienam was quick on the offensive, charging head first against the Decamnites. The war would ultimately shift to the Antienamese side due to how vengeful they were and ultimately, after  dozen so battles. The Decamnites would surrender and be incorporated by the Kingdom. However it wouldn't be too long before Antienam would have to fight Helena.
== Religion ==
Even in classical history, many scholars agree that Antienam is a safe haven to practice religion, just as long as the religious practices are cemented in morality. The nation of Antienam also has the world's largest Christian population. Leading to many being tolerant of other's practicing religion outside of Christianity. Other religions outside of Christianity were brought over here from immigrants of other continents , such as [T.B.A].  


The war between Antienam and Helena was all because of Ferminius addiction to women, as he felt just having one wife wasn't enough. And so, with a legion of men, he marched to a nearby town held by Helena, and sacked all it's women to being his slaves. Pantaleon was obviously infuriated he had provoked another war after finishing a war on their own terms. At the time, Helena was led by a female, whom sources refer to as "Souvella", and when news were brought to her, she was furious. She had gotten Helena out of a civil war and was now also facing another war, but with no alternatives, decided to go on the offensive against Antienam.


===== Murder of Ferminius =====
However unlike many nations, Antienam does not have any beliefs in some way of magical powers, but in the curious case of Christianity, some practices would be considered magical, such as baptism, communion, confessions, etc. However many scholars beg to disagree, as it was created and given from the Lord.
By the time news had gotten that the Empress of Helena had declared war against the Kingdom of Antienam, Ferminius was ready to face Helenic forces at the nearby mountain, near the capital of Helena. Pantaleon had earlier sent word that Ferminius should hold out until he was able to negotiate a ceasefire. However to the dismay of Pantaleon, Ferminius never got word of that Ferminius had heard read his letter, Pantaleon immediately raced towards the encampment.  


A fierce battle commenced at night, by this time the season was winter. the Antienamese forces led by Ferminius, were besieged by a large Helenic force, no matter how hard Ferminius could muster his troops to keep defending, the winter season showed to Ferminius that his forces were no match against a well-trained Helenic legion. So in one last effort, Ferminius ordered all his troops to march out and charge in a brutal battle.

== Trade and Economy ==
== Social Structure ==


Legend has it that, by the time Pantaleon was riding his horse on a mountain trail, he could see the battle unfurl down the mountain. Knowing there was little to no hope of saving Ferminius' forces, he abandoned him to his own wrongdoing. When the battle was finished, Ferminius was the only one that survived, and subsequently was brought to a place similar to a hippodrome. There he was shown to the crowd, where he was humilated and beaten by the locals and some Helenic troops. Legend says that the Empress walked out of her seat and approached Ferminius and challenged him to a gladiatorial fight between him and Souvella. He reluctantly agreed.
=== Science, Technology, Aerospace and Energy ===


The fight began, both of them were wearing nothing but just their own weaponry, which were short-bladed swords. Historians and scholars alike had debated for quite some time how long the battle had lasted, but many agree it was a short battle, in which Souvella killed Ferminius instantly and beheaded him. Showing his head around the crowd before asking one of her advisors to send this head to Pantaleon.
=== Transportation ===
===== Subsequent Events =====
Although the nation of Antienam only has a few highways, the overwhelmingly majority of them are owned and maintained by the state and local governments. Other than highways, Antienam also owns various amounts of airports, railways and ocean travel lines.  
Pantaleon, whom by this point, was busy bolstering up his Kingdom's troops in a war between Helena. By the time Pantaleon recieved Ferminius' head, the war had grinded to a stalemate, with both sides doing no further actions. Pantaleon, upon seeing his brother's head, remarked that "There could be many ways we could've been my brother, and yet you chosen this path for lust. No matter if you and I were a leader, history will mark you as [if not] one of the ugliest marks our [nation] has yet to offer." Before properly burying his brother's head.  


Subsequently, Pantaleon orders his new and reformed army to march out to Helena and face a war they didn't want. Dozens of battles would occur, before finally Antienam marched at the capital of Helena, unlike his brother, Ferminius, who would obviously ransack the capital. Pantaleon drew a line on how similar he and his brother could be, and simply enforced the army to be in good moral and hearts when entering a capital. Pantaleon would arrive at the palace of Souvella, which is still present in modern times. There he saw Souvella, waiting at her throne, Legend has it that Pantaleon greeted her properly and asked that Helena would be incorporated into the Kingdom, with no further repercussions needed.


Souvella saw this as an opportunity she guranteed wouldn't see if Ferminius was the leader of Antienam. And so agreed, Souvella kept her power (although as a regional governor) and was allowed to visit anywhere even in Pantaleon's place. The people were shocked to see how nicely Antienam treated their nation, unlike how Ferminius treated them first.
===== End of the Latin Wars =====
By the end of 743 a.C, Antienam had secured it's place once more, after dealing with another war in which Pantaleon was provoked by Picenum. The Kingdom was able to rest firm, while Pantaleon sat back and wrote new laws to bury the old ones. And by 740 a.C, Pantaleon established the very first lineages of senates. The reason he created the senates were simple, he didn't know what to do so he created a system in which he could hear from others, others who were representatives of various regions the Kingdom had owned, including Helena, in which was represented by Souvella.


Another thing to point out is when the Helenic war ended, Pantaleon ended up having good terms with Souvella, to the point many historians declared the two as lovers in the most unlikely of times. In which as history would point up, the two would have an affair with each other, and bore children.  
In the ocean, the [[Azur Star Lines]] remains the oldest and only true shipping company of Antienam, providing both passenger and cargo services. From ferrying ships to it's islands to the grandeur travels towards the far east lands, such as the [[Ryuvir|Great Ryuvir]]. Aside from the Azur Star Lines, there have been various cruising lines Antienam can offer. Antienam also has a space agency, created in the early 1950's, the [[Antienamese Research And Space Administration (ASARA)]] has been continuously sending machines and humans towards outer space for the sake of research, science, knowledge and the better of mankind.  


==== Death and Succession ====
Pantaleon and Souvella would enjoy much time with each other, before eventually in a turn of events, the two would die at the same day for reasons unknown. The senate, hearing about this, declared the second King to rule Antienam, however historians are still finding evidences on who the names of the kings were, but it's generally accepted that Antienam would just have seven kings. With the final two being absolute tyrants and be the undoing of the kingdom, and the begining of the republic.
=== Transition to a Republic ===
The transition to a republic, meant the disposal of the title of kings. So the senate agreed to create a two-consuls role, where two people will be elected by popular vote. However, their rule would only last a year before two new heads have to be elected. But despite this, the transition to a republic was hard, as soon enough Antienam would have to deal with the series of wars that would put a mark on the nation.


==== Solinic Wars ====
Since the days of ocean liners were over as soon as airlines became popular. Many citizens travel via aircraft when going through immigration, vacation or visitations through other countries. Notable companies such as the [[Antienamese Airlines]], [[Great Konstantinouple Lines]] and [[Pan-Oured]] have been giving Antienamese citizens the luxury to fly to other countries since the dawn of the air transport.

Antienam, also referred to as the Republic of Antienam, is a nation located in the North-East region of Ardentia. Antienam borders multiple nations, on the east coast it borders the nations of Atraland, on the southern borders, it borders both the nations of Etrius and Solingarch. The Republic of Antienam is home to the compassionate and most devoted to both their nation and national religion. Antienam is known for it's beautiful architecture and buildings, an amazing example would be both it's well preserved marble-statues during the nations early ages and the many historic buildings that had been preserved from it's antiquity periods. One historic building would be the Church of Sancta Sophia, the massive church going back to the 1st Century.

Antienam is widely known for having it's national religion, being Christianity, many scholars debate whether the nation either follows Roman Catholicism or Orthodoxy, but it's generally accepted that the nation follows main-line Christianity. Christianity was introduced by an Apostle of Christ <TBA> by the year of 55 a.E, then becoming the nation's most followed religion by the end of 66 a.E.

Other than religion, Antienam experienced many events throughout it's history, from it's founding at 753 a.C to present day a.E. In a bit of irony, Antienam's early history is often shrouded in mystery, even the origins of the first leader. It's widely accepted by scholars and historians that the early known history of Antienam was subsequently burnt during the Great Fire of Konstantinoupole in the first century, engulfing many of it's history before the first century.


History

It's important to understand that for the next section of history, is based on legends surrounding it's very first leaders. Not all scholars and historians agree that this is how history went for Antienam, rather they agree that this is the only piece of history that goes along the lines of the actual story. Starting from the 19th century, many great explorers and historians are still uncovering Antienam's history, only up to 2007 did they discover the Patmos Scrolls which despite being a massive archeological find that benefitted the history of Antienam, is still missing the early pieces of Antienamese History.

In the wake of the early modern history, Antienam was one of the pioneers of early intercontinental travel.
