History

Rostanistan first began as a bronze age confederation of multiple tribes. Little is known of said confederation, but it is known that it collapsed some time later, with ruins having been found scattered along the coast.

After the collapse of the confederation, the land fell into a period of civil war, in which warlords made regional "empires". It is estimated that there were 500 or more cliques, but there were 5 cliques that dominated the geopolitical landscape, these being:

-The Kusrani Clique, occupying some parts of northern Rostanistan.

-The Ismanr Clique, occupying Salka Island (home to present-day Eswaribad)

-The Nurru Dynasty (largely unrecognised), laid claim to southern Rostanistan but was largely unrecognised as stated.

-The Empire of Rostanistan, which was a puppet state that soon collapsed.

-Erigalu Sultanate, an unstable faction infected with civil wars, assassinations and corruption.


Eventually the Warlord era died down as more and more people migrated to more stable regions, which were far ahead of Rostanistan. A total collapse of civilisation followed.

The post-collapse era was soon replaced by a "Dark Age" in which all of modern Rostanistan was abandoned and there was a notable lack of civilisation. While other nations fought, Rostanistan lay abandoned. Nothing significant happened during this time, with the exception of the Great War, which Rostanistan did not participate in.

The Kingdom of Rostanistan (or as known today, the Emirate of Rostanistan) was founded in 1924 after migration to the region increased. As the newly-forged state consolidated power, it was decided that the nation should be a kingdom, and the first king, Kasim Juba, was crowned at a small village inland.

Juba Dynasty (1924-25)

The Juba dynasty, led by King Juba I, was incredibly short-lived even by Rostani standards. Shortly after his coronation, King Juba I was assassinated by a disgruntled Shia muslim. The assassin was caught and executed but this sparked a short interregnum between the king's two sons, Hassan and Uza. After the two brothers were killed in 1925 and 1926 respectively, a new dynasty came to power, led by Juba I's nephew, Osa Husri.

Husri Dynasty (1927-1940)

The Husri Dynasty was founded by ex-king Juba I's nephew, Osa Husri. After an interregnum of two years, during which both of Juba's sons were killed, Husri marched on Wasgali with 2,000 soldiers, leading to a swift restoration of order.

In this period, King Husri I swiftly reformed the military, buying and creating weaponry alike and expanding the army. Wasgali was built from the ground up, and in 13 years the city had transformed into an industrial powerhouse. Rostanistan itself also proved its mettle by swiftly defeating multiple coup attempts. The short but glorious rule of King Husri I would be tragically cut short, however.

Rostani Civil War (1940-1949)

Main page: TBA

The Rostani Civil war started when communist uprisings in the north quickly merged with student protests and Shia minority revolts, leading to the swift collapse of rural Rostanistan. After seizing several weapon shipments, the communists expanded their army by conscripting disgruntled farmers, and then attacked Rostanistan's major cities. Almost all of their attempts failed, but Wasgali was a different story. As rebels closed in on the capital King Husri fled the country. After the Battle of Wasgali ended the communists withdrew to the countryside, where they waged a brutal war of attrition until 1949, when the Eswaribad Concordat was signed by both parties, putting an end to hostilities.

Khazanag Dynasty (1949-1979

As King Husri I was still in another country when the civil war ended, one of his concubines' brothers, Jamal Khazanag, seized power in an unusual coup d'etat. The military did not support the new ruler but soon were swayed onto his side with lavish bribes and pay rises. The rule of King Khazanag III was strangely peaceful, but stained with a suppression of the Shia minority. After some years Khazanag's son, Arthur, took the throne. This was the straw that broke the camel's back, as Arthur Khazanag IV not only had an English name, but was also widely considered an illegitimate child of an illegitimate ruler.

Conservatives and a group of disillusioned officers accosted King Khazanag IV during a military parade, and placed him under arrest. He was later executed.

"Khazanag Dynasty" (1980-83) After the overthrow of Arthur Khazanag, a man who claimed to be the former King Khazanag's son took the throne without much effort. After bribing the army to remain loyal to him, "Khazanag V" infected the government with corruption. As he was widely unpopular, his own government ministers unanimously voted to have him removed from office, and the dynasty ended for the second time in a row.
