History

Pre-Riamese Swinas

Before the arrival of the Riamese colonizers, the deserts of South Swinas were controlled by the Kawhaibia Dynasty, an indigenous tribe with a rich history and culture. The Kawhaibia people had developed unique methods of survival and adaptation to the harsh desert environment, and had built a prosperous civilization. The last emperor of the Kawhaibia Dynasty was Emperor Annikki, who, according to local accounts, politely handed the Riamese the crown and walked away. This act of peaceful surrender allowed for a relatively smooth transition of power and allowed the Kawhaibia people to maintain a significant degree of autonomy and cultural preservation under the rule of the Riamese colonizers. Today, the legacy of the Kawhaibia Dynasty continues to play an important role in the cultural identity of South Swinas and its people.

Independence

The Unitary Republic of Swinas, wasn't always a unitary republic. It was a colony of Riamo, until 1915 when Riamo began releasing many of its colonies. Upon receiving independence, the country had a referendum on what political system they should use. It was decided that the country would be a Federal Republic. This system was chosen because it would ensure that the different regions of the country would have some degree of autonomy and representation in the government. However, the country's political system was not set in stone and it was possible for the country to change its system at any time if the citizens deemed it necessary. In fact, the country eventually decided to change the system and became a unitary republic, as it is today.
