Slavic and Kaldi tribes occupied the area.

War of the Marsh(1504) WIP

a war of some sort that sets the borders between the nation south of volsk sorta pointless as at the time neither power really super interested in the claim

Early colonial period

In 1681 the Puskin expedition established the settlement of Koz'mogorodskoye in the South of the newly proclaimed Volsk territory, This First settlement Served mainly for the trade in Furs, which was successful enough that a number of small trading post began to pop up in the region. Trade with the natives largely fuelled this with many of these posts making alliances with tribes though contract and marriage, forming a complex web of alliances.

The Penal Era

As the volsk territory grew, the apparatus of the Suvarovan state began to exert itself into the region. Convict labour was seen as the best step forward to develop territory, with Sildor, Baklanikha and Bakz penal colonies being established in 1734. These overwhelming male populations would oftern take wives from the local tribes either through subjugation or alliance creating the first volskans. This intermixing of groups also created the Volskan syncretism religion which was looked past by the small number of orthodoxy. Growth of the region continued at a slow Pace with fishing and hunting remaining the the core economic industries with sulfur and copper mining in small scale.

Industrial age (1890s-1970s)

As Suvarova began to industrialise, The volsk territory saw rapid development first Railway and telephone wires were built in 1905. Mining became the regions most important economic function and many volskans were forcefully relocated into these new Industrial cities, Combined with The Suvarovan central government taking a much more active role in running the territory led to considrble resentment from the local populace. Growth continued in the region until the Economic slowdown of the early 70s presaged the suvarovan Civil war.

Independence Era

Civil War(1975)

When civil war broke out the Volsk region originally sided with the central government Providing much needed war materials, however during things quickly turned sour when the central authorities attempted to conscript a Volskan army. This Event, which came to be know as the Great protests, overthrew the existing Government and Proclaimed the Volskan federation. Suvarova was unable to pull forces away to reconquer Volsk and so continued to fight the communist uprising. Seeing its position as Weak, Volsk joined the civil war on the sides of the monarchists in exchange for recognition of Volsk as independent.

Post War Era (1975-2003)

The post war era was a return to the relative stability of the industrial age, A new federal government was established with ten states, which followed a socialistic policy of large government run mining towns. Economically Volsk continued with sluggish growth and with the declining profitability of sulphur mining leaving the entire economy dependant on copper mining. The post war era is oftern looked upon favourably as a time of stability and faith in the government.

Crash and Shulki era (2003-2021)

During the winter of 2003 the price of copper crashed, sending the Volski economy tumbling. The Government began to attempt free market liberalisation, although this caused considerable social unrest, culminating in an attempted coup. The economy began to recover slowly during the late 2000s, And the nation began a number of policies to diversify into 3 key areas Geothermal energy production, Aluminium metallurgy and tourism. Despite the relative success of these plans, Volsk remains a largely Monoindustrial state. More
