Keppland was occupied by {{wp|Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Indigenous Asterians}} for at least 12,000 years before the arrival of [[Euclea]]n explorers in 1552.  The first permanent settlements were established by [[Blostland]]ic colonists in 1621, turning Keppland into a major source of {{wp|Sugarcane|sugarcane}}, {{wp|Gold|gold}}, and {{wp|Rubber|rubber}} for Euclea.  Keppland [[Kepplandic Declaration of Independence|declared independence]] from Blostland in 1765, sparking six years of [[Kepplandic War of Independence|warfare]] against its former colonial metropole.  Blostland recognized the nation's independence in 1771, but the fledgling [[First Kepplandic Republic]] was quickly plunged into internal turmoil.  A series of coups and revolts plagued the country until 1820, when the republic was overthrown in a [[1820 Kepplandic coup d'état|coup d'état]] and replaced by the [[Kepplandic Empire]] under Emperor [[Mats I]].  The Empire expanded through eastern Asteria Inferior during the [[X Wars]] in an effort to become the first {{wp|Great power|great power}} in the Asterias, but was defeated by the [[X Coalition]] in 1852.  Despite its ultimate defeat, the Kepplandic Empire instituted many reforms that helped stabilize the country's internal situation, paving the way for a lengthy economic expansion under the [[Second Kepplandic Republic]].

By the beginning of the 20th century, Keppland was among the wealthiest and most industrialized countries in the Asterias.  However, its decades-long growth came to an end with the [[Great Collapse]] in 1913, leading to a military [[1914 Kepplandic coup d'état|coup d'état]] that brought President [[Henrik Steen]] to power.  A {{wp|Populism|populist}} who rejected conventional left- and right-wing politics, Steen instituted [[Activationism|reforms]] to help the working class and halt the rise of extremism.  Keppland remained neutral in the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], but saw its trade relationships collapse as a result of the conflict.  Keppland's economic recovery faltered as a result, and the unexpected death of Steen in 1931 left a significant power vacuum.  The tense internal situation culminated in the outbreak of [[Kepplandic Civil War|civil war]] in the summer of 1935, with the troubled Second Republic facing uprisings from both [[Chistovodia]]n-backed councilists and far-right nationalists.  A [[Vassfloden Offensive|major offensive]] in late 1936 turned the tide in favor of the councilists, resulting in the [[Seige of Vajki|capture of Vajki]] and establishment of the [[Kepplandic Council Republic]] in February of 1937.  Keppland's economy stabilized during the 1940s and 1950s due to substantial aid from the socialist world, with Chistovodia alone constituting more than half of the nation's international trade volume.  However, the outbreak of the [[Great Asterian War]] in the 1960s caused Chistovodian economic assistance to evaporate, and the Kepplandic economy began to stagnate as a result.  After an attempted transition to {{wp|Market socialism|market socialism}} during the 1970s, the councilist state was overthrown in the [[Kepplandic Revolution]] of 1979, leading to the restoration of democracy under the [[Third Kepplandic Republic]].  Keppland embraced {{wp|Neoliberalism|neoliberalism}} under a series of [[Liberal Democratic Party|Liberal Democratic]] governments during the 1980s and 1990s, but began to drift back towards populism following the [[2005 global financial crisis]].  The [[National Activation Party]] has held power since the [[2005 Kepplandic elections|2005 elections]], during which time Keppland has experienced {{wp|Democratic backsliding|democratic backsliding}} and an erosion of {{wp|Civil liberties|civil liberties}}.

Mats Rönnlund (19 June 1787 – 23 September 1861), later known as Mats I of Keppland, was a Kepplandic military officer, businessman, and statesman who ruled the Kepplandic Empire as Emperor from 1820 until 1852. One of the most significant and controversial figures in Kepplandic history, Mats is often referred to as the father of the modern Kepplandic state.

Mats was born to a wealthy family in the port city of Åkapan.  He was commissioned as an artillery officer in the Kepplandic Army in 1807, leaving three years later to pursue a career in business.  Mats moved to the capital city of Vajki, where he became a prominent member of the city's mercantile community.  Dissatisfied with the instability and chaos of the First Kepplandic Republic, Mats leveraged his connections in the government, military, and business world to organize a coup d'état in 1820.  Mats dissolved the republic upon seizing power and crowned himself Emperor, ruling as an absolute monarch. An ardent Euclophile, Mats sought to transform Keppland from an agrarian society into an industrial economy on par with the imperial powers of Euclea. He introduced liberal reforms to stabilize and modernize the country, abolishing slavery and inviting foreign investment from Euclea.  By the 1830s, Keppland was among the wealthiest economies in Asteria Inferior.

During the 1840s, Mats adopted a more aggressive foreign policy in an effort to turn Keppland into the first Asterian great power.  His military conquests led to the outbreak of the Great Equatorial War in 1848, raging for four years and killing more than one million people.  At its height in 1850, the Kepplandic Empire controlled most of eastern Asteria Inferior.  Mats's imperial ambitions came to an end in 1852, when the Equatorial Coalition captured Vajki after a six month long siege.  The coalition dismantled the Kepplandic Empire and established a new republic, forcing Mats into exile.  He spent the next fourteen years of his life in X, before he was permitted to return by the government of X.  Mats lived the remainder of his life in Vajki, dying in 1861 at the age of 74.
