Early History
Prior to colonization in 1521, Quincy was entirely uninhabited. While some groups had established temporary settlement, no larger entity had properly settled down on the Ilhasul or Ilhanorte. In 1521, Portuguese explorers, unknowingly breaking the Treaty of Tordesillas, would set up a colony around the modern city of CF Colômbia, at the time calling it Colômbia for the namesake of Christopher Columbus. By 1530, the name "Quincia" was being applied to the entire colony, granting it the name it has today. Early colonization efforts most primarily focused around the Ilhanorte, with Portuguese efforts to expand in the Ilhasul being much more limited. The Ilhasul only saw one settlement founded, Araújo, which at the time was little more than a tiny outpost on the fringes of the massive jungles of the Ilhasul. However, after years of slow expansion, the colony began to show signs of success, with the local economy being bolstered and slowly growing as time went on. By the mid-1600s, Quincy was considered an equal partner to Portugal and Brazil, which led to the formation of the United Kingdoms of Portugal, the Algarves, Brazil, and Quincia in 1640, which would last from 1640 to 1810, at which point Brazil broke off.
Lead-Up To And After Independence up to 1910
In 1810, after Brazil withdrew from the UKPABQ, it was left as the United Kingdoms of Portugal, the Algarves, and Quincia (UKPAQ), but this union would be short lived. Spurred somewhat by the declaration of independence in the United States a few decades prior, Quincy declared its independence in 1820 under Portuguese supervision on May 7. Interestingly, the country opted to keep the monarchy intact, and it remained as the head of state of the new United Kingdom of Quincy.
After gaining independence, Quincy was left as a small, mostly unpopulated nation.
