Daobac and Kajeran relations can be traced back to the prehistoric era when the first {{wp|Homo sapiens|modern humans}} settled upon the Kayatman archipelago during the {{wp|Neolithic Revolution|neolethic era}}, though at this era no distinct Daoan nor Kajeran identities had been formed yet. Archeological artifacts that has been found throughout the Kayatman archipelago suggests that the islands of modern day Daobac & Kajera had been settled by modern humans since 5,000 BCE. The development of a distinct Daoan identity however began earlier sometime in 500 BCE when recent migration from the Ochran mainland, particulary explorers and traders from the early [[Huang Dynasty|Jin]] civilization, settled in the islands of Bautroi and Dammay of modern-day Daobac. The introduction of an established foreign culture had a profound impact on the Daoans socio-cultural development, allowing them to diverge from the proto Kajeran, Raji and Nyelele languages that are more commonly found throughout the Kayatman, Karaihe & Ozeros seas. In the ancient and classical eras the tribes on the islands of modern-day Daobac regularly conducted raids against the islands that settled on the islands of modern-day Kajera, capturing settlers to be used as slaves.

Relations between Daobac (officially the Daoan Congressionall Republic) and Kajera (officially the Republic of Kajera) has had been historically turbulent. The two states had been at odds throughout much of their ancient histories with significant periods of conflict and subjugation between the two. In the modern day however this has gradually evolved from adverserial to partersnhip that was shaped through major events beginning with Kajera granting Daobac independence in 1845, the Hanaki War of 1928-1932 and the establishment of détente between the two powers in the period immediately after the Hanaki War. The two countries currently have close political, economic and military ties. Highlights of this close economic relation include Daobac pioneering the development of Kajera's network of desalinization and water treatment plants and provided commercial launch services for Kajera. Daobac on the other hand imports both processed & unprocessed food, XXX & XXX from Kajera making Kajera Daobac's second largest import partner through the Foareko. As part of the Equatorial Trade Forum (Foareko) and due to its geographic proximity, Kajera is Daobac's largest export partner with Daobac primarily providing various engineering services in the fields of environmental and aerospace engineerings. The armed forces of both countries cooperate closely with annual bilateral training exercises continuously taking place with strong emphasis in increasing interoperability between the two countries forces. Furthermore in 17 June 1955 both Daobac and Kajera established the Kayatman Security Association, a military alliance where both countries will come to the aid of another in the event that one country is attacked by a hostile force.
History
Ancient & classical era
Daobac and Kajeran relations can be traced back to the prehistoric era when the first modern humans settled upon the Kayatman archipelago during the neolethic era, though at this era no distinct Daoan nor Kajeran identities had been formed yet. Archeological artifacts that has been found throughout the Kayatman archipelago suggests that the islands of modern day Daobac & Kajera had been settled by modern humans since 5,000 BCE. The development of a distinct Daoan identity however began earlier sometime in 500 BCE when recent migration from the Ochran mainland, particulary explorers and traders from the early Jin civilization, settled in the islands of Bautroi and Dammay of modern-day Daobac. The introduction of an established foreign culture had a profound impact on the Daoans socio-cultural development, allowing them to diverge from the proto Kajeran, Raji and Nyelele languages that are more commonly found throughout the Kayatman, Karaihe & Ozeros seas. In the ancient and classical eras the tribes on the islands of modern-day Daobac regularly conducted raids against the islands that settled on the islands of modern-day Kajera, capturing settlers to be used as slaves. The Daoan Conclave, a loose confederation of Daoan pirate lords, was established in 150 BC and established a sphere of influence that encompassed nearly half of the Kayatman archipelago.
Post-classical era
The Daoan's dominance continued largely unopposed until the 11th century when the expanding Tahamaja Empire encountered finally incorporated the Daoan Conclave as a vassal state. Having already incorporated the tribes on the western portion of archipeago, the Tahamajans have successfully established a foothold in the Kayatman region. The Tahamajans became protectors of the tribes in the western archipelago, much to the Daoan's frustration.
