Fawster has been inhabited since late antiquity. It was brought under the influence of Ditanery during the early middle ages, but remained largely a collection of small city states under being unified as a duchy in the 1200's.

History
Government and Politics
Fawster's governmental structure has remained largely unaltered since independence in 1944. The constitution - the most important legal document in the country - outlines Fawster as a parliamentary republic with a ceremonial president, an elected legislature and a cabinet led by a prime minister that is responsible to the legislature. The country is divided into 5 counties, with Fawster having a unitary administrative structure.
The president is mostly a ceremonial office, elected every five years by the unicameral National Assembly. Presidents are by custom non-partisan and usually are figures from civil society rather then career politicians. The president's main duty is to preside over the formation of a government following elections. The current president is former public prosecutor Michael Clark, first elected in 2014 and re-elected in 2019.
Since independence in 1943 up until the 1970's Fawstonian politics was dominated by the centre-right Independence Party, which had originally emerged during the 1890's in the Cornicae advocating independence and linguistic rights from Fawster. After a period of political fragmentation in the 1980's, since then politics has largely developed into a two-party system between the conservative Progressive Republican Party and the social democratic Co-operative Party.
Since 2008 the Progressive Republicans have held governance in alliance with various parties. Since the 2014 election the Progressive Republicans have held office in coalition with the Independence Party, with Julia Lennox serving as the first female prime minister. The coalition was re-elected to a four year term in 2020.
