History
Prehistory
Pre-Unification (until 1329)
Varadna-Strentland and the founding of Luepola (1329-1390)
The Kingdom of Luepola, then known as Varadna-Strentland, was established in 1329 by Genadi I of Strentland. Genadi's wife Vladislava I was the heir apparent to the throne of Varadna; upon her coronation, their son became the heir to both thrones, and Vladislava opted to instead cede control of Varadna to Genadi, unifying the two countries ahead of schedule.
A period of turmoil followed, as the newly unified country was torn into civil war by the two separate houses of nobility backing different successors following the death of Genadi the Lesser. Princess Cvieta I, the preferred heir by the Varadian nobility, emerged victorious from the war. Shortly after the end of the war, neighboring kingdoms Plosenia and Zacotia invaded Varadna-Strentland, initiating the Containment Wars, in which Varadna-Strentland allied Vyzinia to retake its territory and eventually partition Plosenia and annex significant parts of Zacotia. The victory was followed by the declaration of the Kingdom of Luepola as the successor to Varadna-Strentland.
Kingdom of Luepola (1390-1818)
First Luepolan Republic (1818-1901)
People's Republic of Luepola (1901-1948)
The People's Republic of Luepola was officially declared by Lev Gincburg after likely illegitimately winning his re-election as the President of Luepola. The declaration was followed by the relatively quick and violent transformation of Luepola into a one-party socialist state. The Communist Party used its stranglehold over the country to eliminate political opponents and dissidents, hasten Luepola's relatively slow industrialization, reform the Luepolan language and script, and export its ideology to other nations. Countries such as Vorochia, Granzery, Poicary and Apelia fell sway to communism throughout the first half of the 20th century. Luepola transformed its colonial holdings in Oridia and Tusola into socialist republics, but effectively maintained a stranglehold on their state affairs.
On 8 April 1942, invasion of Zacotia in order to install a Communist government. Vierzland and Savland each declared war on Luepola in turn, beginning the Great War. After a poorly-prepared Vierz invasion of Luepola failed, Luepola went on the offensive, bringing Apelia and Granzery into the war as members of the Socialist International Coalition and besieging Vierzland on all of its land borders while also invading southern Patyria, annexing the region alongside Granzery and similarly laying siege to Cestros. Intermittent Coalition air raids on Vierzland escalated into full-scale strategic and terror bombing campaigns which were later reciprocated by the Allied nations; one of the most notable such air raids was the Bombing of Talheim, in which the use of chemical weapons killed tens of thousands in the deadliest week of the war. Shortly after, the Luepolans initiated the Battle of Kasenberg, the largest single battle of the war. Nonetheless, Luepola's efforts at overrunning Vierzland's and Cestros's defensive lines were unsuccessful, and the entry of Vonzumier into the war placed increased pressure on Luepola's southern front and forcing her to defend her colonial holdings. Decisive defeats inflicted on Luepola at Kasenberg, Tarphos, and the Verakoni Gap forced Luepola on the defensive, but Luepola was nonetheless able to maintain its own defensive line close within its pre-war borders until fall 1947, when the Allied Operation Rapture forced Apelia's surrender. In the final six months of the war, Luepola found itself overwhelmed as Vonzumier and Vierzland mounted a final offensive against Luepola. After the death of Marusić, acting Chairman Saňin Mlakar ordered the surreder of Luepola to the Vierz army, effectively ending the war. The Treaty of Adtrus would later dissolve the Luepolan communist government, place Luepola's satellite republics in Oridia under Vierz administration, and subject Luepola to military occupation by Vierzland.
