History
Rostanistan first began as a bronze age confederation of multiple tribes. Little is known of said confederation, but it is known that it collapsed some time later, with ruins having been found scattered along the coast.
After the collapse of the confederation, the land fell into a period of civil war, in which warlords made regional "empires". It is estimated that there were 500 or more cliques, but there were 5 cliques that dominated the geopolitical landscape, these being: -The Kusrani Clique, occupying some parts of northern Rostanistan. -The Ismanr Clique, occupying Salka Island (home to present-day Eswaribad) -The Nurru Dynasty (largely unrecognised), laid claim to southern Rostanistan but was largely unrecognised as stated. -The Empire of Rostanistan, which was a puppet state that soon collapsed. -Erigalu Sultanate, an unstable faction infected with civil wars, assassinations and corruption. Eventually the Warlord era died down as more and more people migrated to more stable regions, which were far ahead of Rostanistan. A total collapse of civilisation followed.
The post-collapse era was soon replaced by a "Dark Age" in which all of modern Rostanistan was abandoned and there was a notable lack of civilisation. While other nations fought, Rostanistan lay abandoned. Nothing significant happened during this time, with the exception of the Great War, which Rostanistan did not participate in.
The Kingdom of Rostanistan (or as known today, the Emirate of Rostanistan) was founded in 1924 after migration to the region increased. As the newly-forged state consolidated power, it was decided that the nation should be a kingdom, and the first king, Kasim Juba, was crowned at a small village inland.
Juba Dynasty (1924-1925
The Juba dynasty, led by King Juba I, was incredibly short-lived even by Rostani standards. Shortly after his coronation, King Juba I was assassinated by a disgruntled Shia muslim. The assassin was caught and executed but this sparked a short interregnum between the king's two sons, Hassan and Uza. After the two brothers were killed in 1925 and 1926 respectively, a new dynasty came to power, led by Juba I's nephew, Osa Husri.
Husri Dynasty (1927-1940)
The Husri Dynasty was founded by ex-king Juba I's nephew, Osa Husri. After an interregnum of two years, during which both of Juba's sons were killed, Husri marched on Wasgali with 2,000 soldiers, leading to a swift restoration of order.
In this period, King Husri I swiftly reformed the military, buying and creating weaponry alike and expanding the army. Wasgali was built from the ground up, and in 13 years the city had transformed into an industrial powerhouse. Rostanistan itself also proved its mettle by swiftly defeating multiple coup attempts. The short but glorious rule of King Husri I would be tragically cut short, however.
