History
Pre-Calidum
Archaeological research at X indicates the Hesterlon Peninsula was populated by early humans c. 1.5 million years ago. In X fossils have been found of the earliest known humans in Oranland, the Homo rectus. Modern humans first arrived in Hesterlon, from the east from modern day X on foot, about 60,000 years ago. The best known artefacts of these prehistorical human settlements are the famous paintings in the Ultima caves of X in northern Paqueonia, which were created from 60,000 to 20,000 BP by Early Oranish modern humans.
The largest groups inhabiting Paqueonia before Calidum colonisation were the Veragese people, or more specifically, the Aeroans, Amossans, and Norravans. The Amossans inhabited the southern portion of the region. The Aeorans inhabited much of the northern region as well as the Zestoric coast of the region, from the northwest to the southeast. Norravans occupied the interior of the region and adjacent areas.
Calidum and Pylosan colonies
The first evidence of Calidum settlements appeared around 2300 BCE near Hidalgo and did not have a huge impact of the way of life in the region. However, several cities and trading posts were founded along the coast by the Calidum; one of the most famous being Hidalgo itself around the late 21st century BCE. Eventually, the Calidums expanded inland towards the interior; however, due to resisting Amossan tribes, they were unable to expand that much especially after losing the Battle of Hedaycca against the Amossan chieftan Padair in 1924 BCE.
In 1143 BCE, a war between the Amossans and the Calidum Empire was sparked after a Amossan tribe attacked a Calidum fortress at the Battle of Kebeti. By 1149, Calidum forces had been pushed back to Heithalka (Hidalgo) where the city was sieged and after which it was abandoned. The region would stay relatively isolated from the rest of the Zestoric until the late 4th century BCE when the Pylosan Empire colonized Paqueonia. Pylosan colonisation also saw the first use of the name Pakwone was used which derived the name "Paqueonia" and was what the Pylosans labeled the region as. From the late 4th century until the demise of the Pylosan Empire after the 2nd Zestoric War in 1 CE, Pylosan colonies in Paqueonia faced numerous attacks brought by Amossan and later Norravan tribes. Although about 190 settlements had been destroyed throughout the 4 centuries, Pylos managed to maintain a small military presence in the region.
After the 2nd Zestoric War ended in 1 CE, Pylosan colonies especially those on the Hesterlon Peninsula were assimilated into the Alarican Empire. However, Alarican control over the region suffered a setback in 3 CE when a rebellion began in the south. The Farovans of Paloa and remnants of the Pylosan army under the leadership of Glycon, a former Pylosan general, fought for control over the southern peninsula, forming a successful alliance with the Norravans and Aossans. Alarico sent numerous legions and its best generals to the region to quell the rebellion, in 10 CE, Glycon was killed at the Battle of Aima Hill near Tavares resulting in a power struggle among Glycon's allies allowing Alarico to put an end to the rebellion in 11 CE. Following multiple conquests and campaigns during the 1st century and early 2nd century, Alarico was able to assimilate the rest of the Hesterlon Peninsula after destroying a united Cycont army at the Battle of Arouthinium in 129.

Government
Paqueonia is a unitary absolute monarchy, with a hereditary monarch. The head of state is the monarch, currently King Gerado II, who ascended to the throne in 1963 after the death of his father King Carlos V in 1963 and a period of regency. According to the country's constitution, the king is a symbol of unity and the eternity of the Paqueon Kingdom. The heir to the throne, also known as the Crown Prince acts as a secondary leader of Paqueonia. The current Crown Prince is Fidel-Osvaldo, the son of Gerado who aquired his position in 1983 at the age of 18.
The king also appoints the Chief Justice from the legislature and also appoints a minority of legislators to the National Council of Paqueonia with help from an advisory council. The king is allowed by the constitution to appoint some members to the National Council to represent special interests. These special interests are citizens who might have been electoral candidates who were not elected, or might not have stood as candidates. This is done to balance views in the National Council. Special interests could be people of particular gender or race, people of disability, the business community, civic society, and scholars.
The unicameral National Council, consists of 60 seats; 50 members are elected by popular vote while 10 are appointed by the monarch, all of which serve five-year terms. The elections are held every five years after. The last elections were held on the 10 Pulungana 1997. The balloting is done in a non-partisan manner. All election procedures are overseen by the Elections and Boundaries Commission.
