==Etymology== | |||
The name Sateroc comes from a mix of the two names Sietatia and Rocea, which both united to form Sateroc in the late 17th century. However, the origins of those two names are uncertain, considering that the history of those two nations are quite unknown before the AD era. Many believe Rocea comes from the word 'rocher', which means rock in the Saterocian language. It would make sense, considering the fact that Rocea's lands were full of the rocky mountain ranges known the Paupaut Mountains. As for Sietatia, there is really no knowledge of the history of its name, despite heavy research. There is just no evidence that could point to the formation of the name "Sietatia". | |||
==History== | |||
===Prehistory(Before the 2nd century AD)=== | |||
It is estimated that sometime around 30,000 years ago, the first humans arrived to the lands today known as Sateroc. Despite year-round freezing temperatures, it is believed that humans remained in those lands due to an abundancy of large animals which could be used as food. Eventually, inhabitants went on to create permanent civilizations, mainly near the southern coasts where Sateroc was at its warmest all year long. Religion in the area had largely been extremely diverse during these times, with dozens of religions and hundreds of different gods that the inhabitants had followed. At an unknown point in time, Christianity arrived to Sateroc and many immediately converted to Catholicism, especially after St. Maracath travelled around the lands of Sateroc in order to spread his teachings of Christianity. In northern regions, Islam became widespread as many Islamic merchants travelled to the area amidst exploration missions. It was around this time where city-states, and eventually nations started forming. | |||

''See also: [[Saterocian constitutional crisis]]'' | |||
Although Sateroc had always been relatively stable, issues began to arise in the late 19th century between the monarchy and the country's parliament. By 1906, these issues had grown into a power dispute that was started by King [[Isipath VII]], in which he used his powers to heavily limit the power of parliament. Usually, whenever his power was threatened by parliament, he would threaten to intervene by using his monarchial guards to storm the parliament building. In turn, Isipath would pressure parliament into approving his domestic policies, and this began to critically hurt the country's economy, due to the fact that his attempts at making Sateroc an economic powerhouse in the region failed after his exploitation of wheat in [[Saroq]] led to a [[Saroqi wheat shortage|famine]] in the region. This was only one of the many issues that caused one of history's worst economic downturns, which began in 1914, and continued for years. As this downturn continued to worsen, Isipath pushed for policies that only worsened the situation, and in response to criticism, he began to order the suppression of protests across the country. As dissent within not only central Sateroc, however different regions, began to threaten the current state of Sateroc at that time, he, along with the country's army, would issue the [[First Kolkesburg Emergency Order]], one of only two SKEOs issued by monarchs, with the second one being issued by King [[Morves V]] in 1953. The SKEO would suspended parliament, and in the meantime handed over most of its powers to the country's monarch as well as a council of military officers. This was met with heavy disapproval from the Saterocian populace, with at the time Prime Minister [[Von Ethenheim]] declaring "If our 'king' doesn't trust us, why should we trust him?" on 7 May 1919. | |||
The crisis was exacerbated after Saterocian troops in [[Elmonton]] killed 13 protestors on 6 January 1923, which quickly prompted an [[Saroqi War of Independence|armed uprising]] in the region by locals. Amidst the conflict, an emergency local government was formed in Elmonton, headed by President [[Ali Asphaug]], and after three weeks, in which the Saroqi rebels received support from several outside powers, Saterocian forces had been fully kicked out of the country. With the humiliating defeat in Saroq, the military's reputation was severely damaged, and soon after multiple armed rebellions, although at a lesser scale, began across the nation, which would lead to hundreds of deaths. In Kolkesburg, disagreements between King Isipath and military officers making up the SKEO council over the formation of a new government led to a nation-wide schism, in which monarchial loyalists and the country's military mobilized for a potential civil war. Amidst the schism, a third party began to make waves in the political landscape of Sateroc. Headed by suspended PM Ethenheim, the "Representation" movement reached out to both sides in order to mediate the schism and negotiate an end to the SKEO, along with reforms to the country's constitution and parliamentary system. After several days, on 6 August, the military officers of the SKEO agreed to side with the Representation movement in forming a more civilian-friendly government, which effectively cornered the monarchy. For five days, the country stood still as the monarchy refused to respond. As the military remained prepared to oust the monarchy, Ethenheim would go on to state that conflict wasn't "necessarily off the table" for his movement. However, before any fighting could begin, on 11 August, the monarchy would agree to a three-way meeting between Isipath, a high-ranking officer, and Ethenheim. Two days of closed-doors negotiations would ensue, and before long all three sides had agreed to resolve the crisis. As the [[1923 Saterocian constitution]] was written and signed, Isipath agreed to back off and allow for more democratic policies in order to hopefully fix the economic downturn. Parliament was un-suspended, and Ethenheim would remain the country's prime minister until 1936. As for Saroq, Sateroc was in no state to attempt a takeover of the new republic, and although Sateroc refused to recognize it, relations between both governments were somewhat normalized over the next several years, and trade would once again commence despite no formal relations. | |||

Sateroc, officially the Second Republic of Sateroc, is a country located in northeastern Euronia. It has the 13th largest population on its continent, which is around 32,000,000, and also has one of the biggest cities on the continent, Kolkesburg. The country is divided into 22 departments, two autonomous regions, and one administrative capital sector. To the southeast, Sateroc shares a border with the country of Denzal, along with a small border with Vœyetska to the south. Also to the south, Sateroc borders the Vasilin Sea, and to the north, the Saterocian coastline borders the large Northern Ocean, where a majority of its coastline extends. Other large cities in Sateroc include Coretas, Elmonton, and Karinmaneno.
Various tribes inhabited the lands considered as Sateroc in the BC era, and these tribes soon turned into kingdoms and clans battling for control over different lands. The Cascutian Kingdom rose to prominence in the 13th century, followed by Sietatia and Rocea in the 14th and 15th centuries respectively. Afer multiple large wars between the three nations, Sietatia and Rocea united to form Sateroc in the late 17th century, and invaded the Aungoish state just a few years later. After experiencing rapid growth for a century, Sateroc invaded and annexed the remnants of Cascutia, which had been undergoing a bloody multi-sided civil war up to that point. Sateroc continued rapid growth throughout the 19th century which would slow down only in the beginning of the 20th.
By 1923, an economic crisis and harsh policies being put in place by previous monarchs resulted in the 1923 constitutional reform, which saw the creation of a parliament in Sateroc alongside the monarchy, along with the independence of Saroq. The next two decades saw a political struggle between the National Revolutionary Party and the Saterocian Peoples' Party, which resulted in numerous terrorist attacks such as the 1948 parliament bombing.

As this downturn continued to worsen, Isipath pushed for policies that only worsened the situation, and in response to criticism, he began to order the suppression of protests across the country. As dissent within not only central Sateroc, however different regions, began to threaten the current state of Sateroc at that time, he, along with the country's army, would issue the First Kolkesburg Emergency Order, one of only two SKEOs issued by monarchs, with the second one being issued by King Morves V in 1953. The SKEO would suspended parliament, and in the meantime handed over most of its powers to the country's monarch as well as a council of military officers. This was met with heavy disapproval from the Saterocian populace, with at the time Prime Minister Von Ethenheim declaring "If our 'king' doesn't trust us, why should we trust him?" on 7 May 1919.
The crisis was exacerbated after Saterocian troops in Elmonton killed 13 protestors on 6 January 1923, which quickly prompted an armed uprising in the region by locals. Amidst the conflict, an emergency local government was formed in Elmonton, headed by President Ali Asphaug, and after three weeks, in which the Saroqi rebels received support from several outside powers, Saterocian forces had been fully kicked out of the country. With the humiliating defeat in Saroq, the military's reputation was severely damaged, and soon after multiple armed rebellions, although at a lesser scale, began across the nation, which would lead to hundreds of deaths. In Kolkesburg, disagreements between King Isipath and military officers making up the SKEO council over the formation of a new government led to a nation-wide schism, in which monarchial loyalists and the country's military mobilized for a potential civil war. Amidst the schism, a third party began to make waves in the political landscape of Sateroc. Headed by suspended PM Ethenheim, the "Representation" movement reached out to both sides in order to mediate the schism and negotiate an end to the SKEO, along with reforms to the country's constitution and parliamentary system. After several days, on 6 August, the military officers of the SKEO agreed to side with the Representation movement in forming a more civilian-friendly government, which effectively cornered the monarchy. For five days, the country stood still as the monarchy refused to respond. As the military remained prepared to oust the monarchy, Ethenheim would go on to state that conflict wasn't "necessarily off the table" for his movement. However, before any fighting could begin, on 11 August, the monarchy would agree to a three-way meeting between Isipath, a high-ranking officer, and Ethenheim. Two days of closed-doors negotiations would ensue, and before long all three sides had agreed to resolve the crisis. As the 1923 Saterocian constitution was written and signed, Isipath agreed to back off and allow for more democratic policies in order to hopefully fix the economic downturn. Parliament was un-suspended, and Ethenheim would remain the country's prime minister until 1936. As for Saroq, Sateroc was in no state to attempt a takeover of the new republic, and although Sateroc refused to recognize it, relations between both governments were somewhat normalized over the next several years, and trade would once again commence despite no formal relations.
