Name

The name Ionland comes from the name of the Ionik people, the tribe located in modern Southern Ionland which successfully established itself as the dominant tribe in 22 AD.

History

Around 5,000 to 5,100 B.C.E. the first settlers established the first settlements in now what is known as North Western Highlands, these settlers called themselves the Vistullaks. During the Bronze Age the Vistullaks broke off to two separate groups, the Ioniks and the Wilnians. These two would develop their own but very similar scripts which would serve as the basis for the two groups current modern languages. The Ioniks would move down south meanwhile the Wilnians built ships and departed the land. The Wilnians would later settle on a small island chain located off of the coast of Ionland.

In 88 B.C.E. Ionik tribe leader Jarogniew embarked on establishing a defined region which the Ioniks had governed.

The Realm of Ionia (52 B.C.E. - 1082 C.E.)

In Jarogniew's elder years, he saw his vision completed in 52 B.C.E. when the Ioniks created their first proto-councils which governed each outlined governance that Jarogniew created. Jarogniew declared in writing that, "the Ionik people a the one true rules of the Realm of Ionia and that no foreign entity shall deter our people from our destiny". For 140 years the Jarogniew clan ruled the Realm of Ionia. In 1082 Lech Sówka declared himself the first Krol of Ionland.

Ionite Kingdom (1082 - 1612)

In 1082, Lech Sówka declared himself the first Krol of Ionland. Only Twenty seven at the time, most Ionites saw the newly declared Krol as a brash and arrogant leader. His first move as the new Krol he alloted all power to himself. He demanded that all Ionites to pray to him as he had saw himself as a god. However his reign was ended short when he was murdered by his court on his eleventh year anniversary of his declaration of his power. The following Krol took note to not be to overbearing on the populace, it was actually written into the coronation oath in 1244 that all royalty had to abide by all laws set.

Around 1298, a Hanguk ships arrived on the shores of Sobieski to find new places to live. Few Hanguk immigrants immediately assimilated into Ionite society today they are referred to as Mieszać Ionites. Both the native Slavic Ionites and their new neighbors exchanged cultures. Both groups grew closely as the Hanguk became involved in the Orthodox Christian church. The Slavo-Ionites and the Hanguk Ionites shared a common language with Latin becoming the new mode of conversation between the two.

Around 1413 a group of raiders invaded Ionland, this would be called the Barbarian-Ionite War. The first few years of the war the Ionite army lost battle after battle as the head of the army's powers were split three way between the legitimate head of the army, the Krol, and the Krol's son. In 1428 the head of the army, Bratumił Majewski overthrew the Krol and his family and established the short-term state the "Commonwealth of Ionland". Immediately after the overthrowal, the Ionite army began a large counter-offensive against the Raider army. In 1433 the Ionite Army officially wiped out the Raider army and captured the head raider capital.

Bratumił Majewski declared his intentions of keeping the Commonwealth alive but royalists had launched an offensive within Ionland with popular support from the surfs. Bratumił's regime is regarded as one of the first military dictatorships in Esquarium. Bratumił was overthrown and slain in 1439. The new Krol Janek Filipek had declared all Majewskists enemies of the kingdom and began a nationwide purge which took the lives of 500,000 Ionite. Most crimes were massacres were conducted by armed surfs under the command of the Krol. For the next two centuries the monarchy would move their efforts into establishing a new Ionite Order by expanding their territory. In 1612 the Ionite Kingdom of Great Ionland had successfully conquered the Silsian Range which was sought after by the previous monarchs.

Ionite Empire (1612 - 1916)

After the conquering and establishment of an oversea territory, the Krol, Karol Kowalczyk declared himself Wielki Król or High King King. High King Karol Kowalczyk declared the Ionite Empire as the dominant force in the world. Set out to "quell the lower beings" he embarked on an expansion of Silsian Range territory by eliminating tribes surrounding the territory. Some field generals tried to incorporate tribes by Ionizing them but the attempts were regarded as "brutal wastes" of time by the High King. Along with the expansion of the Silsian Range, the High King established trading ports in various places like in Sanguinia and Greonterp in 1615. The Empire would grow stagnant until 1832 when a republican revolution would occur on Christmas day. However the republican forces were destroyed in two days. This rebellion would serve as the main inspiration for the republican revolts which would occur in 1914.

Republican Revolts and the Rise of the Rominski Family (1914 - 1940)

Due to increasing distrust in Krol Krzysztof Niemec, groups within the Imperial Army began splitting off and would later declare themselves as the Ionite Republican Army. Early on during the Republican Revolts the IRA had successful campaigns against the Imperial Army in the South however victories in the north were limited. However most saw the IRA as a nuisance and a terrorist organization but most of the populace despised the Krol. In December 1915 in Dmow various Orthodox Churches began declaring allegiance to the Rominski Family as the new rightful rulers of Ionland, a popular family that was well known for their philanthropist work in the region. With the endorsement of the Orthodox Church, the Rominski Family began building up forces that was able to match both the Imperial Forces and the Republican Armies. During early 1916 the Rominski Loyalists eliminated the IRA from contention and by August of 1916 reached the Imperial Seat of Sobieski. With the control of the Capital, Tadeusz Rominski declared himself as the new Krol. The ousted Krol, Krzysztof fled to Blokdalf to lead the colony which broke away during the coronation of Tadeusz.

Krol Tadeusz began a rapid industrialization and modernization of Ionland during his early years as Krol. He saw the country as backwards technologically and industrially and in need of drastic change. By 1925 Ionland fully modernized itself and began competing on the world trading market. During the 1930s Krol Tadeusz saw Walminghaven as a threat to the Ionite Empire as the Walminghaven monarchy was propping up Krol Krzysztof II in Blokdalf. Krol Tadeusz declared war on Walminghaven and Blokdalf on March 12th 1930 and began an all out war on Walminghaven and its puppet government in Blokdalf. This would be known as the Second Ionite-Walminghaven War, the war would later result in a stalemate and to this day the two nations share rocky relations.

Krol Tadeusz final years and the beginning of the Krol Władysław Reign (1940 - 1964)

The final two and half decades of Krol Tadeusz reign was quiet, the Krol focused on family life and the promotion of family life in Ionite Society by building up propaganda campaigns which mainly consisted of traditionalist messages and the importance of preservation of Ionite Culture. In 1958, Krol Tadeusz introduced the famous Ionite Racial and Cultural Laws which introduced strong racialist and religious policies into Ionite Society. The law banned non Slavs and non Hanguks from entering the country which was later lessened to non-Slavs and non-Monics in 1962, the law also required all Ionite couples to have atleast two children which the government would cover financially, and the finally it banned all religions other than the Ionite Orthodox Church. Krol Tadeusz believed in the purity of maintaining the "precious unity and love between the Slav and Hanguk populace" in Ionland. His policies strengthened the relations between the two groups. Internationally it was seen as an oppressive law but internally people supported it. On July 3rd 1964, Krol Tadeusz died and his son Władysław took up the throne.

Krol Władysław and the Stagnation Years (1964 - 2000)

Krol Władysław reign resulted in a stagnation in the Ionite economy. He is also widely known as the "Do-Nothing Krol", however Krol Władysław did build up the Ionite sports and fitness program as well as the reformation of the Imperial Army. In September of 2000, he abdicated his throne to his son, Jan, the current reigning Krol of Ionland.
