Taconia The earliest known inhabitants of Taconia were Inidegenous peoples who spoke !Algonquian languages. These tribes lived on the country’s western coastline. Pre-colonial history is defined largely by conflicts and interactions between these !Algonquian tribes. In the Taconian Interior, Indigenous peoples known as the Chippewa (Ojibwe) inhabited the vast plains. There is less archeological and recorded history of these tribes, much of their history is oral. Assim Asteris, an explorer employed by the Caldish Crown, charted Asteria Superior for the first time on behalf of the Eucleans. Additional journeys were made and contact was established with varying !Algonqian tribes for the first time. A small settlement known as [who cares right now] was established in 1523. Despite initial struggles, its relative success resulted in later colonial settlement in the mid-1500s. Settlement of Taconia drew the interest of Estmerish investors, who through the Vehemens Company sponsored colonial expeditions to Taconia’s northern coastline. The first Estemerish settlement was established in 1571. Estmere and Caldia continued to colonize the region, cutting deals or finding conflict with the Native tribes. Slavery first began on the island of St. Ellen’s, which was a Caldish colony with a suitable climate for plantation farming. It was later expanded to the Taconian mainland, but numbers were not substantial as neither the Caldish or Estmerish established significant plantations on the mainland.

At the start of the 20th Century, Taconia played a crucial role in the Asterias, with a relatively developed industrial capacity and a growing quality of life. The country remained distanced from Coian and Euclean conflicts until the burst of the Great War, in which Taconia’s forces joined the Allied front fighting alongside Eldmark and Marchenia against Entente forces and in particular, Satucine and Gaullican functionalist influence in the Asterias. As the war approached its end, economic difficulties arose in Taconia leading to the first electoral loss of the United Conservatives in [ years ] years; [ president name; FDR ] led the nation as the first President from the Progressive Party and introduced several social democratic policies under the Canmond Pact, that established the Taconian welfare state and a large industrial capacity through state investment with consensus from most of the political system. It was also during this period that Taconia increased its international influence through the creation of development credits to nations in the Asterias Inferior and the initiatives for world’s peace.
