Early History
Tiskaiya was originally a large collection of city states and principalities that migrated north from the Bretislav lands to the south. The most powerful of which, Sutranovka, united the land under both diplomacy and military conquest. Tiskaiya as a nation was founded in 1402. It was then the Kingdom of Tiskaiya. It quickly set itself up as a civilized nation. Tiskaiya was mainly in isolation until 1552. The 1552 Serf Rebellion quickly threw Tiskaiya out of isolation as it began looking for an edge to crush the rebellion, the was answered with the Snaphance Flintlock, and the rebellion was crushed in 1561. From this point forwards, Tiskaiya became an absolute monarchy. From 1592-1705 Tiskaiya returned to isolationism. However the Black Thursday Incident caused threat of revolution, so King Vasily II returned some power back to the nobles. From this point forwards, Tiskaiya would rapidly modernize.
