The Kingdom of Khijovia (Khijovian: Khıjœvïænne Raēgə) was the unitary Khijovian state proclaimed on July 11, 1161 AR by the Grand Duke of Klettoria Zenon the Great. The proclamation of the Kingdom followed the Fourth War of Unification (1161), fought by the Grand Duchy of Klettoria against the Grand Duchy of Axiomia, and represented the culmination of the socio-political movement, as well as historical epoch, called the "Surgence".
History
Zenon's successor was his son Koron I who decided to conquer the region of Chon (now Chondia) and subjugate the Atredian dukedom. King Bellaton the Warrior, in 1273, organized one of the biggest military offensives up to then, brutally conquering the Kingdom of Karkarovia and even going so far as to defeat the warlike population of the Venatorians, the up to then undefeated inhabitants of the region of Venatoria. For the following centuries, however, the Kingdom would not be marked by any other expansionist campaign, focusing instead on the flourishing of culture and the arts and population growth. In particular, King Akrocanthia the Virgin devoted himself to the construction of large public works (such as the Axiomia Bridge) and land reclamation, and favored the development of the first theaters and orchestras.
The event that however marked the decline of the Zenonian dynasty was the civil war of 1529 between the faction of Koron II (legitimate successor to the throne) and that of Barossia (who instead claimed the position of heir): the conflict resulted in the victory of Barossia the Poor, so called because the war caused an unprecedented economic crisis in the country and a national famine. Thus, the now weakened Zenonian family lost more and more power and control over the country, ending up being expelled with the coup d'etat of 28 January, 1534 by the federalist republicans.
