Between 2,100 and 1,900 BCE most cities in the Cemsor Valley were abandoned in a total civilisational collapse. The reason for this large-scale abandonment is disputed, but modern research suggests that the region underwent significant localised climate-change during the period. Decreased precipitation levels may have caused large-scale drying and desertification in the Cemsor Valley, eventually making the maintainance of large urban cities unsustainable. | Between 2,100 and 1,900 BCE most cities in the Cemsor Valley were abandoned in a total civilisational collapse.

Liberto-Ancapistan (Basaquese: Libertarya-Ancapistan), officially the Federal Republic of Liberto-Ancapistan, is a transcontinental nation spanning southern Evrosia and overseas Autonomous Territories in western Evrosia, Elisia, Antartica and Takaria. Situated primarily across the islands of Promeridona and Santia, it covers an area of 1,450,077 square kilometres (559,878 sq mi) with a population of 68.8 million in 7 constituent Provinces and 3 Autonomous Territories. Liberto-Ancapistan borders the Velika Tzarska Empire, the Imperiale Arabic Union, Baccara, Hockeyyekcoh and Aether Inc. in Evrosia, Alkamistan in Takaria, Northshires in western Elisia and Cannonio as well as the Super Best Dutch Empire in Antartica. It is a member of the United Federation of Telrova. Liberto-Ancapistan is a federal parliamentary republic with its capital in Liberty City, the country's largest city and main economic centre; other major urban areas include Sades, Compacipo, Dewisburgh, Port Rand and Orafars.
Etymology
The English name Liberto-Ancapistan is an anglicisation of the Basaquese Libertarya-Ancapistan. This is derived from Liberto-Ancapistan's predecessor, the Liberto-Ancapistanian Alliance (Basaquese: Tifaqa Libertari-Ancapistani), which itself was derived from member states Libertaria and Ancapistan. The former's name was originally a Santian exonym, used to describe the area of Basaquastan outside the Santian Empire - a 'free land'. The latter's name, meaning 'land of the Ancapi' in classical Basaquese (also called classical Nizmstani), refers to the Ancapi, a tribe of the Kimia Culture which existed during the last centuries of the 1st millenium BCE.
History
Prehistory and Ancient Liberto-Ancapistan
Archaeological evidence at Lake Mergiri indicates that modern humans have inhabited Promeridona since at least 50,000 BCE. Rock art found in the Res Hills and Sikandin Massif have been dated to 30,000 BCE and 26,000 BCE respectively.
Agriculture first emerged in Liberto-Ancapistan c. 8,500 BCE, around the Cemsor Valley in modern-day Ancapistan Province. The first crops to be domesticated, independently of other areas of agricultural development, were rice and chickpeas. In northern Basaquastan, Promeridonan wheat had been domesticated by 6,000 BCE. The development of agriculture led to the creation of increasingly large settlements. The first walled city in modern-day Liberto-Ancapistan, Rayek, dates to c. 3,500 BCE and was followed in the succeeding centuries by the emergence of several cities around the Cemsor Valley, forming the Cemsor River Civilisation. These walled cities involved stratified social classes and were ruled from at least 3,000 BCE by individual monarchs. During this period, a system of logographic writing, Kisin, developed, initially written only on bones. This was expanded to clay tablets c. 2,750 BCE. The apparent lack of large temple structures and prevalence of oracle-bones suggests that the Cemsor River Civilisation did not involve organised religion, with the localised spirit-worship of later centuries already existing in some form. In the centuries following the development of Kisin the Cemsor River Civilisation's city-states were replaced by larger hegemonic Kingdoms, with the entire Cemsor Valley being briefly united by King Akal of Cibedar in 2,400 BCE.
Between 2,100 and 1,900 BCE most cities in the Cemsor Valley were abandoned in a total civilisational collapse. The reason for this large-scale abandonment is disputed, but modern research suggests that the region underwent significant localised climate-change during the period. Decreased precipitation levels may have caused large-scale drying and desertification in the Cemsor Valley, eventually making the maintainance of large urban cities unsustainable.
Despite the collapse of the Cemsor River Civilisation, Kisin survived in smaller settlements. Areas connected by trade to the Cemsor River Civilisation, most notably western Libertaria, were less affected by drying and continued on. By middle of the 2nd millenium BCE the city of Padisra in Libertaria had grown to have a population of at least 30,000, and had become the centre of a centralised Kingdom. In north-western Basaquastan, a large number of towns containing Kalars (fortified stone towers used for grain storage) had sprung up, eventually being united under the town of Great Pesh. The hereditary leader of Great Pesh was called 'Emir', a title which would quickly spread to become the most common title of Basaquastanian monarchs.
