===Bogmian perspective===
Polyanshi were a branch of Slavic descent, which migrated at around 20 CE from the area of present-day [[Nerany]] to Zhousheng. From the 3rd to 15th centuries, cultural separation caused the Polyashi people to split into [[Bogmia|Bogmanci/Bogmian]], [[Slovanska Kraj|Slovanci/Slovans]] and [[Monte Blanco|Belgorci/Monte Blancans]].
====Ancient history and Bogmian Empire====
In around 760 AD, Bogmians were able to consolidate themselves and form the [[Bogmian Empire]], which spanned from southern [[Monte Blanco]] across Zhengian and Bogmian linguistic areas and southern [[Slovanska Kraj]]. The empire is seen as a beggining of the integration of Bogmian and Zhengian cultures.

====The Dark ages====
After 300 years, Bogmian Empire slowly deteriorated and region after region started to break away from the central government. As of 1200 AD, Zhousheng slowly transformed into a huge area of infighting between tens, if not hundreds, of local dukes and kings.
After 300 years, Bogmian Empire slowly deteriorated and region after region started to break away from the central government. As of 1200 AD, Zhousheng slowly transformed into a huge area of infighting between tens, if not hundreds, of local dukes and kings.
Around this time, majority of local Bogmian warlords adopted [[Religion in Anteria|Christianism]], which spread into the area through [[Gadorien]]. In 1520's, new movement began to sprung up. Over the span of 3 centuries, minor duchies, kingdoms and even electorates slowly merged into 3 large entities: [[Bogmia|Kingdom of Bogmia]] (controlling the center and north of present day Zhousheng), [[Zhengia|Kingdom of Zhengia]] (controlling southern and coastal areas of present day Zhousheng) & [[Haldenia|Kingdom of Haldenia]] (controlling west areas separated from the rest of Zhousheng by mountains). Haldenia and Bogmia attempted to control each other's church positions, which lead to a huge distrust to church by the general populace. That lead to multiple wars of religious reformations, which in the end resulted in creating a unitary church with a round table council not influenced by any king or royal of sorts.

In 1773, this era of instability was ended by unification of the [[Monte Blanco|Kingdom of Monte Blanco]], [[Bogmia|Kingdom of Bogmia]] & [[Zhengia|Kingdom of Zhengia]] into the [[Empire of Three Kings]], lead by Chepichkik dynasty, former royal family of Monte Blanco, which became the imperial dynasty. The empire is seen as a golden era of Zhoushi history and is de facto a founding stone for the present day [[Mustelaria]]. The Empire tried enforcing one artificial language as a base. This language was based on the old proto-polyanshi southern dialects. In around 1800, Haldenia was integrated into the Empire as a part of Bogmia. This language, called the "Imperial Mustelarian" was later dropped. Empire collapsed on 18th November 1862 with a dispute over bloodline purity of the Chepichkik dynasty. Following that all of the three kingdoms became operating as independent entities. On the wake of the 19th century, monarchies in Zhengia, Bogmia and Monte Blanco fell one by one, transforming countries into parliamentary democracies.

Zhousheng is a independent country bordering Gadorien, Prei Meas, Slovanska Kraj, Elenias, Bakyern & Monte Blanco. It is a member of the Mustelarian Federation along with Monte Blanco. It was formed in 1943 shortly after the War of the Council from the Zhoushi Union, which consisted of semi-independent countries of Bogmia and Zhengia, and the Zhoushi Council State. It officially turned into a homogenous country via integration act of 1984. It is a proud member of the Sekidean Union's Inner Circle and a proud actor in the Initiative for Global Peace.

History

History of Zhousheng can not be told as a single timeline, rather as a logical conclusion of two timelines.

Bogmian perspective

Ancient history and Bogmian Empire

Polyanshi were a branch of Slavic descent, which migrated at around 20 CE from the area of present-day Nerany to Zhousheng. From the 3rd to 15th centuries, cultural separation caused the Polyashi people to split into Bogmanci/Bogmian, Slovanci/Slovans and Belgorci/Monte Blancans. In around 760 AD, Bogmians were able to consolidate themselves and form the Bogmian Empire, which spanned from southern Monte Blanco across Zhengian and Bogmian linguistic areas and southern Slovanska Kraj. The empire is seen as a beggining of the integration of Bogmian and Zhengian cultures.

The Dark ages

After 300 years, Bogmian Empire slowly deteriorated and region after region started to break away from the central government. As of 1200 AD, Zhousheng slowly transformed into a huge area of infighting between tens, if not hundreds, of local dukes and kings. Around this time, majority of local Bogmian warlords adopted Christianism, which spread into the area through Gadorien. In 1520's, new movement began to sprung up. Over the span of 3 centuries, minor duchies, kingdoms and even electorates slowly merged into 3 large entities: Kingdom of Bogmia (controlling the center and north of present day Zhousheng), Kingdom of Zhengia (controlling southern and coastal areas of present day Zhousheng) & Kingdom of Haldenia (controlling west areas separated from the rest of Zhousheng by mountains). Haldenia and Bogmia attempted to control each other's church positions, which lead to a huge distrust to church by the general populace. That lead to multiple wars of religious reformations, which in the end resulted in creating a unitary church with a round table council not influenced by any king or royal of sorts.

Empire of Three Kings

In 1773, this era of instability was ended by unification of the Kingdom of Monte Blanco, Kingdom of Bogmia & Kingdom of Zhengia into the Empire of Three Kings, lead by Chepichkik dynasty, former royal family of Monte Blanco, which became the imperial dynasty. The empire is seen as a golden era of Zhoushi history and is de facto a founding stone for the present day Mustelaria. The Empire tried enforcing one artificial language as a base. This language was based on the old proto-polyanshi southern dialects. In around 1800, Haldenia was integrated into the Empire as a part of Bogmia. This language, called the "Imperial Mustelarian" was later dropped. Empire collapsed on 18th November 1862 with a dispute over bloodline purity of the Chepichkik dynasty. Following that all of the three kingdoms became operating as independent entities. On the wake of the 19th century, monarchies in Zhengia, Bogmia and Monte Blanco fell one by one, transforming countries into parliamentary democracies.

Recent History

In 1912, Zhengia and Bogmia, entered a political union, which connected their foreign relations and monetary policies into one. On the same time, a writing reformation of Bogmian occured, abandoning the long-used Coptic script (which is still used in literar Monte Blancan) in favor of a new Latin alphabet. On May 9th, 1932, western provinces of Bogmia declared independence and officially established a communist government, collaterally called "The Council" (Old Bogmian: ⲣⲁⲇⲁ, Latin Bogmian: Rada), therefore the war is called "The War of the Council". The civil war dragged Zhengia into the conflict as well, de facto unifying the two nations in weapon. On September 5th, 1942, the Council State surrendered, when Zhoushi troops (Zhoushi standing army was formed in 1940) raised a Union flag over the Worker's Counsulate (Literary Bogmian: Pracovny Konzulat, Literary Zhengian: Praƌofƞi Gonsulaat (as you can see, Zhengian took a lot from Bogmian grammar and culture)). The war was a push for a federation of Zhousheng, which was formed in 1943. In the next decades, country integrated first into the Shanghou Pact and later into the Sekidean Union. On December 31st, 1984, a New Year's Integration Bill was passed, officially recognizing the hybrid language of Bogmian and Zhengian as a official language of Zhousheng. On August 23rd, 2020, a Empire of Three Kings was reformed for 2 minutes, named the Empire of Mustelaria, which allowed Chepichkik dynasty head to officially surrender the crown to the people by laying it on the wheat wreath. By this act, the Empire was abolished and new Federation of Zhousheng and Monte Blanco was formed, named the Federation of Mustelaria.
