Bretislavia is one of the few primarily socialist states in Anteria. This includes the other Thuadia based nation of Union of Sivuk Workers' Republics, Montilla, and Sukong. Established in 1900 in the aftermath of the deposition of the republican constitution of the Bretislavian Republic, it is the oldest socialist nation in Anteria.

Etymology and terminology

Bretislavia gets its name from the Kingdom of Bretislavia, would would come to conquer the region and form the state as it is today. The roots of the name come from the evolution of Tiskai language as through the evolution of Bretislavian society as they migrated southward from the Tiskai region and formed their own society and culture. Bretislavia comes from the the river of Bretslav, whose area was among the first settled by early-modern humans. The name of the river is believed to come from an ancient leader of these settlers, Bratslaw, whose name was later corrupted to Bretslav.

History

Background

56,000 years ago, early modern humans settled what would become the lands of Bretislavia. These early modern humans (EMH) were a largely Slavic group, believed to have come from the region that would eventually become [[Tiskaiya]]. These EMH societies would later transform into large tribal kingdoms. Overtime these tribal Kingdoms formed in to proper feudal kingdoms, nine in total. These nine kingdoms ruled the area and surrounding areas well into the 10th century.

Establishment of Bretislavia

Early in 1049 the largest and oldest Kingdom in what would become Bretislavia, the Kingdom of Riečnepolia (literally "River Fields"), began a campaign of invading its neighbors under the rule of King Cyril IV. Riečnepolia, which had inhabited the lands and surrounding lands first settled by early-modern humans along the Bretslav river, had long had ambitions of regional unification, however a series of disastrous rulers and military campaigns had seen the country largely mitigated in decades prior. Though still the largest in 1049, it had seen massive land loss to its neighbors.

The Riečnepolian King Cyril, who ascended the throne in 1047 at the age of 21, had spent first two years of his reign establishing a strong river-based economy and agricultural society that could field and support a large military. Despite the ease of access that came from the river when it came to transportation, the Riečnepolian economy remained heavily selective with who and what it traded. Recognizing that trade could be used as a far superior weapon to conquer rather than the underhanded Riečnepolian army at the time, Cyril targeted the Kingdom of (NAME) with his trade policy. (NAME) which lay just down river of Riečnepolia, was one of the smaller Kingdoms in the region, as such it was just a matter of time before a deal for Riečnepolian crops could be negotiated for. In 1048, a famine struck (NAME) which allowed for Cyril and his Kingdom to sweep in for a trade deal that heavily favored Riečnepolia. The deal allowed for the quick transport of crops down to (NAME), and built a dependency that would soon see (NAME) become the first victim of peaceful conquest by Riečnepolia.
