Eythmology

The name Dniester is closely related with the river Dniester. There are several claims to the origin of the name Dniester. An ethno-religious theory suggests that the name used to describe the part of old Minskian lands within the Grand Dutchy of Gdańsk that had been populated mostly by early Christianized Slavs, as opposed to the Kingdom of Słupsk, which was predominantly inhabited by pagan Prymontians.

The name Dniester is often conflated with its Tagmatine forms Russia and Belarus, thus Dniester is often referred to as Belarus or Russia. The name first appeared in Tagmatine medieval literature; the chronicles of Jan of Czarnków mention the imprisonment of Gdańskian grand duke Jogaila and his mother at "Russiae, Poloczk dicto" in 1381. The Tagmantine term "Russia" was used again by the Pope in 1783 to recognize the Society of Jesus there, exclaiming "Approbo Societatem Jesu in Russia degentem, approbo, approbo."

After the Bolshevik Revolution in 1940, the term "Russia" caused some confusion, as it was also the name of the military force that opposed the red Bolsheviks. During the period of the Dniestrian Socialist Republic, the term Russia was embraced as part of the national consciousness.

The term Russia (its names in other languages such as Anglish being based on the Minskian form) was only used officially until 1991, when the Supreme Soviet of the Dniester decreed by law that the new republic should be called the Republic of Dniester as well its abridged form should be "Dniester". The law decreed that all the forms of the new term should be transliterated into other languages from their Dniesterian language forms. The use of Russian SSR and any abbreviations thereof were allowed from 1991 to 1993. Conservative forces in the newly independent Dniester did not support the name change and opposed its inclusion in the 1991 draft of the Constitution of Dniester.

In 2022 with the Ahranaian Incursion into the Unifed Socialist Republic of Dniester, the country was split into two entities after the Ahranaians stablised the country. The Northern part of Dniester was again titled North Dniester with the Sountern Part of Dniester being called South Dniester but as a Member to the Union of the United Kingdom of Ahrana.

History

Early History

From 5000 to 2000 BC, Bandkeramik cultures predominated. In addition, remains from the Dnieper-Doenets culture were found in Dniester. Cimmerians and other pastoralists roamed through the area by 1,000 BC, and by 500 AD, Slavs had taken up residence. Invaders from Alharu, among whom were the Fulgis, swept through c. 400–600 AD, but were unable to dislodge the Slavic presence.

The region that is now Dniester was first settled by Prymontian tribes in the 3rd century. Around the 5th century, the area was taken over by Slavic tribes. The takeover was partially due to the lack of military coordination of the Prymontians but the gradual assimilation of the Prymontians into Slavic culture was peaceful in nature.

Grand Duchy of Gdańsk

During the Grand Duchy era of Dniestrian History as part of the Ahranaian Crown Lands Act the land of Dniester was elevated from a Territory to a Grand Duchy with a Ducal House of its own Independent but in association with the Ahranaian Crown for protection and representation. The House of ($HOUSE NAME), was the ducal line for over one-hundred and fifty years before being elevated the Independent Kingdom Status from the United Kingdom of Ahrana.

Kingdom of Gdańsk

The Kingdom of Gdańsk would last till the Bolshevik Revolution of 1940 with several other uprisings in the years prior to this victorious Revolution. When the Kingdom was elevated and given Independence from the Ahranaian Imperial it was due to several petitions from the Government of Gdańsk which was ignored several times before ultimately the Ahranaian Government gave in or was forced to. The Kingdom would have a trouble history especially with Rebellions and Revolutions happening or attempting to happen, the most known one is the Bolsheviks successful uprising in the 1940s which in part was fueled by the Republicans in Ahrana at the time.

Bolshevik Dniester

In the early days of the Bolshevik or Socialists power in the Government it was a suttle power grab at the start with them sharing the power with other political parties and even the Monarchal Government for a time. It wouldn't be till four years after that the Socialists felt they had enough of a power hold on the country that they completely took over the country and the government and banished the Monarchy and the Royal Family from ever setting foot in Dniester along with the other Political Parties. After the mass expulsion the Socialists started their own agenda creating a Socialist State built on fear and labor.

Modern History

Since 2022 after the Ahranaian Incursion in the then "Unified Socialist Republic of Dniester", the Southern and Northern Dniestrian Peoples have been divided into two States one being Independent from the United Kingdom of Ahrana the other being a Member State to the Union of the United Kingdom of Arhana. The United Provinces of South Dniester has remained in Union with the United Kingdom of Ahrana after the withdrawal of Ahranaian Military forces from Northern Dniester. With the Ahranaian Invasaion of 2022, the Southern Dniestrian People submitted allegiance to the Ahranaian Imperial Crown as the land was several hundred years prior under the Grand Duchy of Gdańsk. The People in South Dniester have freedoms that were once taken away by the Radical Socialist Government and the Terrorist Supporting Government.
