The land briefly was part of the Aguda Empire until the 1660s when it is conquered by Paretia, and later Estmere in 1788. Santo Lazaro would remain as an Estmerish colony until 1953 when it was peacefully granted independence by Estmere following mild social unrest. Afterwards, the country faced various ups and downs such as an industrial boom and growing standard of living in the 1950s and 60s, before a socialist coup in 1973 which culminated in the start of Martial Law from 1977, which culminated in the Lazareno Civil War from 1979 to 1982.
