Vailleux, officially the Fourth Republic of the Vailleux, is a country primarily located on the western edge of Erisia, Regnum, and also administering numerous overseas territories and dependencies. It shares land borders with Vierzland and Lucania to the east, the disputed Minoberd region and Merala to the south, and maritime borders with Valaran to the north; the country is bordered by the Nautilan Ocean to the west. Continental Vailleux comprises the majority of Vaillais territory, consisting of TBD prefectures, though its administration of multiple territories in the Nautilan and Immanic creates one of the largest exclusive economic zones in Regnum. In total, Vaillais citizens number about 56.4 million, and Vaillais territory covers about TBD sq km.
Evidence of human habitation in the territory of modern-day Vailleux dates to the Paleolithic era. The region's early tribes, known as the Brengonnic peoples, were among the first to be assimilated into the Tiberian Empire (this detail tbd).
all history is tbd. be sure to mention the vaillais empire before mentioning the grand vaillais empire later
Beginning in 18XX Vaillais forces led by Lucien Provost conquered much of Erisia and established a litany of overseas colonies. These Vaillais Campaigns established the Grand Vaillais Empire, the largest since the Tiberians, and cemented Vailleux as the world hegemon for more than a century, a period known as the Pax Vaillais. During this time, virtually all segments of Vaillais society prospered, with a flourishing of arts and culture in Vaillais cities, unfettered access to many of the world's trade ports and goods, and the country becoming one of the first to industrialize.
The Grand Vaillais Empire and the Pax Vaillais persisted until the leadup to the Great War, during which a global multinational coalition of Vailleux's rivals invaded continental Vailleux, briefly occupying Porte-Calme, and seizing many of its colonial possessions. The Vaillais Empire came to a definitive end during the Second Great War, which saw continental Vailleux invaded for the second time in three decades and the vast majority of its remaining colonial territories captured as well. Post-war economic hardship exacerbated long-standing disillusionment with the Vaillais monarchy, culminating in a coup d'état that saw a liberal faction overthrew the monarchy and establish the First Vaillais Republic. The First Republic was itself overthrown by Gerard Hugo, who had participated in the first coup; Hugo ruled as a military dictator for 12 years before his assassination plunged the country into a TBD-year civil war that resulted in the establishment of the Third Republic, later reformed into the fourth and current Republic.
