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.
There was a restoration of civilisation around 1300, and slowly the land was repopulated by returning citizens, as the Warlord Era had just ended.
The Kingdom of Rostanistan (or as known today, the Emirate of Rostanistan) was founded in 1890 after migration to the region increased. As the newly-forged state consolidated power by absorbing other smaller states left over from the repopulation period, a statesman by the name of Kasim Juba seized power in a coup d'etat, and so the first king was crowned at a small village inland.
Juba Dynasty (1890-1925)
The Juba dynasty, led by King Juba I, was rather short-lived. The first years of monarchist rule were rather uneventful, but was rudely interrupted by the Great War (Anteria). Rostanistan fought on the side of the Alliance, and won a battle with a neighbour. When Juba I died in 1925, it 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 a statesman and islamist Osa Husri.
Husri Dynasty (1927-1940)
The Husri Dynasty was founded by ex-statesman and islamist 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.
Rostani Civil War (1940-1949)
Main page: TBA
The Rostani Civil war started when communist uprisings in the north quickly merged with student protests and Shia minority revolts, leading to the swift collapse of rural Rostanistan. After seizing several weapon shipments, the communists expanded their army by conscripting disgruntled farmers, and then attacked Rostanistan's major cities. Almost all of their attempts failed, but Wasgali was a different story. As rebels closed in on the capital King Husri fled the country. After the Battle of Wasgali ended the communists withdrew to the countryside, where they waged a brutal war of attrition until 1949, when the Eswaribad Concordat was signed by both parties, putting an end to hostilities.
Second Husri Dynasty (1950-1976)
Shortly after the conclusion of the Rostani Civil War, King Husri I returned to Wasgali. Another age of modernisation began, and Rostanistan would recover quickly from the wounds of the civil war. King Husri I would die in 1957, and he was succeeded by his son, Reza Husri II. Husri II reformed education and finished what his father had started, turning Rostanistan into a modernised nation.
Reza Husri attracted significant controversy, as he abolished the law forbidding women and girls to go to school. As such, when he died of illness, conservatives quietly allowed a new dynasty to take power.
Saga Dynasty (1977-) The conservative elite of Rostanistan elected one of their own to take the throne, an oil magnate and owner of a manufacturing empire, Hassan Saga. During this time King Saga I was
