Colonisation Period
The First Hennish Republic and their South Asterian Company first established trade posts along the Satavian Coast in 1544, four years after both the Duchy of Flamia and the First Hennish Republic had established trade posts along the Nuvanian Coast. By 1548 at the earliest[1], the Duchy of Flamia, with their New Asterian Company, began colonising Satavia. However, in 1552, the Duchy abandoned their trade posts after a short, undeclared conflict which ended their involvement in Satavia. All of these trade posts are now uninhabited, with the majority having been destroyed or dismantled.
In 1649, the Sotirian Commonwealth officially took over the South Asterian Comapany's remaining trade posts. This saw a period of inactivity in Satavia, untill the Grand Duchy of Flamia was established in 1719, which heralded a change of administration and an influx of cheap labour, paticularly from Bahia. The Grand Duchy's conquering of Commonwealth settlements in Satavia and Nuvania saw the creation of Flamian Asteria.
Following the Estmerish-Hennish War, the colony was transfered to Estmere, who created Estmerish Asteria. This was disolved in 1778, creating instead Nuvania (a colony) and the Hope Teritory. This short-lived teritory would be succeeded by the Estmerish Hope, also called the Hope Colony in 1782. The Estmerish period would see a booming population and industry, a reason often attributed to Satavia's politicians reluctance to seek independence from Estmere, unlike their Nuvanian counterparts. The period also saw extensive Estmerisation, which saw the majority of the populace starting to speak Estmerish, as opposed to Hennish.
In 1811, Nuvania was granted home rule, to be followed by Satavia five years later in 1816, under the Hope Colony Home Rule (Dominion) Act 1816. The Estmerish Hope became the Hope Dominion, and in 1816 it's first Prime Minister, TBD, was appointed. The next sixty years would see a period of rapid growth and self sustainability, with Satavia beginning to trade with Nuvania more than Estmere. This would be shattered following the War of the Arucian, which Satavia was not involved in, but following Nuvania's victory and then decleration of independence would lead to a decline in trade with Satavia and the eventual economic crash in the form of the Satavian Recession of 1893. Estmere's lack of interest in helping the Dominion lead to Satavian leaders asking for independence. 1893 also saw the first Satavian Governor actually from Satavia, unlike previous Governors who had all been from Estmere. Following a series of bilateral talks with the Estmerish Government, and the rejection by Satavian leaders to be 'equal partners' with Estmere and Satavia sharing a Monarch, a deal was reached in that Satavia's Governor, a cousin of the King of Estmere, Patrick, would be made King Patrick I. On the 1st of January, 1900, Satavia became the last major colony in the Asterias to declare independence.
