Historical background (help me out please):

  • no organized statehood before 6th century
  • would there be any Solarian influence?
  • decentralized tribal states between 6th - 10th century
  • the biggest of them was Vyminia
  • would the land be part of (vassalized directly or undirectly influenced) by Arciluco?
  • early 11th century - annexed by Grand Principality of Tengaria? When exactly? For how long?
  • Iconoclast Wars - very important! Which side am I expected to take? Could I use this as a mean for the nobility to break up from Tengaria and be relatively indepent or should I just go as a puppet state/direct vassal of the Tengarian Empire?
  • 1650 - Soravian conquest, would like to leave it that way
  • what role would Bistravia play in Soravia? I see it as a loosely populated state with few noble families ruling over large mines/pastures/farms
  • rise of the Bistravian nationalism - mid 19th century or even later - Bistravian nationalism was weak and decentralized - lack of strong personalities or authority figures
  • what role would Bistravia play in 20th century Soravia? Would it be a food provider? An industrial borderland. Possibly, given its easternmost position - arms manufacturing and machinery production?
  • I'd rather make Bistravia break out from Soravia peacefully. Is it 1983?
