Human habitation of Ardesia has been dated all the way back to 10,000 BCE based off chipped pottery and stone works. Many of these discoveries were made recently in the northeast valleys of Ocotlan.
Nomad and hunter gatherer societies had existed in the valley before settling down to the Gulf of Cresconio, developing works of surviving pottery. Agriculture eventually began with the cultivations of beans, tomatoes and maize. The now evolved hunter gatherer group had been the Zapoyans, which had overtaken a neighboring adversary being the Tetuolmec civilisations by 100 CE. The Tetuolmecs notably developed functioning social formations, effective water systems and uncommonly, large populations. The area of the Hueyatl Peninsula and the gulf grew a population of approximately 6 million people. Other groups grew to being mostly semi-nomadic with the niche of migrant farming and fishing. Much of the overtaken lands of the Tetuolmecs later formed the Tzapotlan empires. The Tzapotlan Empire already subjected closer local states and tribes and began to engage in protracted conflict with the encroaching presence of the Uuchmaans, already fighting the more farther empire of the Meyaletun. Zapoyans of the smaller states fled further down the Hueyatl as the established Uuchmaan city states kept a presence north of Ardesia’s three rivers and at the edges of the gulf by 500 CE. Near civil wars within the Zapoyans cities had also contributed to their losses. Pre-Bastine era borders of Ardesia had consistently changed from the previously marked wars. Many prisoners of war were to be later pressed into human sacrifices.

Within the 10th century the Tzapotlan empire further centralized power and expanded greatly into the west against the gulf. Cities such as the later Sao Agostino, Remont, and Ravelle were absorbed, with the inclusion of these settlements saw a flourish of culture. These settlements had later established more sites and structures. Cintliacan, now Porto Sotiri had been the echelons of the Tzapotlan empire for the centralized focus in law and religion. Outer regions were paid in tithes respectively. In the 13th century Zapoyan victory was soon achieved after the Tzapotlan and smaller cities regained control of the east of Ardesia. This solidified with the ensured conditions of converting to the cultures. Another war was waged against the city of Itzel in modern day Vinalia which saw the addendum of the city of Och-Kan. Both sides saw devastating defeats, and for the Tzapotlan empire saw the opportunity of the Uuchmaans to revolt. By the late 1400’s these groupings formed a loose confederation against the empire and slowly made ground against the now declining Tzapotlans with further centralizing enacted on the capital. Confederal grounds seemed to lessen as the later rebellions were crushed. The collapse of the Tzapotlan empire was furthered by the abrupt arrival of the Eucleans.
===Novo Poveja and the conquest of Tzapotlan===
[[File:LastDaysofTenochtitlanB.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Bastine's men sacking Cintliacan]]
In 1523 Ardesia had been discovered by explorers under the command of Angelo Bastin of Poveglia who were ordered by their Doge to begin furthering their trade monopoly of the Arucian Strait of the south the northern continent. The landing of the explorers had been in the choppy coasts of the Hueyatl nearing Remont, which eventually brought them to the governor of Remont, the last of Tzapotlan. Previously the islands of Sanslumière were the only areas that had been previously explored. Relations between Bastin and the now-approached emperor Cuauhtemoc turned sour after he first hand attempted to cooperate with the Povelians, who under Bastin held an ambition and threatened the sacking of the capital if relations were ruined (which would soon happen). Bastin and his men had already begun building relations with neighboring petty tribes and subjected areas with the offer of abolishing human sacrifices and tithes. With the failure of urgency to take action against the Povelians by Cuauhtemoc, a mustered revolt of Zapoyans was launched against the occupying force of 700 commanded by Julio Marihno.
The ensuing massacre at the capital perpetrated by Cuauhtemoc’s relatives had given the excuse of pulling Bastin’s men out of the city and regrouping in near disarray. An immediate consequence of the scuffle was the spread of smallpox among the natives fragile to the Old War disease. Many peers of Cuauhtemoc were caught in the spread of the disease, dying and causing further chaos. Bastin ordered the sacking of the city, and his forces quickly caught the vulnerable forces by surprise. Majority of the capital's population was killed off between the violence and the immense outbreak. Cuauhtemoc and his peers pulled out of the city in an attempt to retreat to Remont. While the conquest of the Tzapotlan’s began, many of the neighboring states and now rebelling subjects of the empire had spread and further descended the land into chaos. The spread of the smallpox outbreak had leaked out of the city, now ravaging populations indiscriminately. Sources (notably from the University of Montecara), had estimated the deaths from smallpox on the native population diminished it down to 2 million, from a population of more than 11 million.
The emperor and his regrouped forces had attempted to retake the capital and the concurrent rebelling city of nearby Francesco. With the vastly superior technologies of the Poveglians and the Tzapotlan diminished forces saw disastrous defeats, with the latter battles at Francesco seeing the capture of Cuauhtemoc and his brother Tezcacoatl being captured. While in captivity the two had died from smallpox, with the rest of the empire now in the reins of dismayed relatives. The east of the empire was easily taken by the Poveglians, remaining resistance was concentrated in the Remont and Sao Agostino, which saw ruthless use of biological warfare by the Bastin’s men. Many items such as clothes and blankets, and even corpses were used against the rebelling Tzapotlans. Swaths of land were shortly swallowed as the last remaining bastions of the native resistance were suppressed. Cuauhtemoc’s death largely marked the end of the empire, with the rest of native leadership nearly wiped from the plague which had mostly left the Poveglians unaffected. Bastin had been governor and captain general of the now renamed Novo Poveja, with the capital centered on Remont as Cintliacan had been largely ruined, only to be rebuilt and renamed as Porto Sotiri. Colonial rule was briefly contested with a rebellion in Mendi, however this was largely squashed. Future provisions in preventing rebellions saw local off coast garrisons in the Gulf of Cresconio which still lay today. Under the guise of protecting trade ports and routes, Povelia soon engaged in a war against the Gorsanids in which had secured its economic arteries.
The demographics of Euclean and Bahians were introduced, with the Eucleans derived from the Vespasian states to either administer the now centralized single capital of Remont. Eucleans arriving to Ardesia had also been there to extract the resources of many minerals and slate used in trade, bolstering the Poveglian network in the Asterias. Most worked as laborers along side the Bahians utilized as slaves, which had also further introduced diseases from the Old Word as the native populations were too weak to be forced into slavery. Black slaves worked in vast plantations remarkably in the capital and Mendi. Native populations subsided but remained significant, though emigration to Ardesia was further encouraged and even sponsored by Povelia and i’s dominions.Bandeirantes commissioned by the newly propped colonial council had further expanded Ardesia further north all the way to states such as Acopa and Tototltepec. Many of these hailed from the capital under a land grant. Majority of their background was of first generation Asteroindian background, and the motives of these were mainly off of profit. With the increased diversity was however scorned by the colonial administration acting off of segregation, mainly against black, Coiusan, and native people which saw the harshest treatment. This discrimination laid ahead the first instance of dissatisfaction in the colony. Laws implemented were of Solarian origin and naturally created a divide between the local level and colonial council. Non-mixed Povelians either born in the colony or from abroad had the highest privileges, and were mainly the first and sometimes the only group experiencing the immense wealth monopolized. Privileges such as higher education and access to clergy and civic offices were within the outnumbered urban areas against the still largely rural colony. Remont had and remains at the forefront of a world economy, having access to limitless cultures and trade.
Importantly evangelization had been one of the primary tasks of the established Solarian Church in Novo Poveja, which had been another catalyst for brief native revolts east of the colony. Sao Agostino soon became second to Remont as being a vital city, for facilitating the trade network and ports along the Arucian Strait, which saw vast modernization and migration in the 1600s. The racial segregation from the colonial whites had already soon lost its grasp, with the distinct mixed culture borrowing influence from all the notable groups which had formal legal designations, ranging from the mixed, indigenous, and black population; though this wouldn’t stop the prevalent slave revolts from the coasts and inland. A renowned slave revolt was at a plantation near Passos in 1701, where all participants either black or indigenous were captured and killed in a firing squad. Mitigations to lower the likelihood of revolts the colony brought reforms that limited the privileges of fully Euclean-born or Asterian Povelgians to areas of civic offices. Many forced labor of the slaves didn’t settle well as sugarcane were the reasons behind their large import to the colony, which had only begin declining as export as gold and silver usurped this for centuries.

In 1721 Novo Poveja had overseen the slow collapse of their oversee, as Povelia engaged and severely suffered huge losses in the Ten Years’ War, bankrupting the country as many resources had been drained. The costs of this war triggered the first instance of pro-independence movements, these were led by many enraged citizens soon to be martyrs and juntas established in Sao Agostino, Remont, and Porto Sotiri. The rebellions had raged for months before being stamped out, with the sour dissatisfaction as Valorea had been successful in a near bloodless movement. Novo Povelian society was rapidly radicalized as they were now under the near direct rule of the Euclean power and had already begun adapting the widely used informal name of the colony, Ardesia. By 1724 the colony was sold to the Paretian country of Luzela, held to hopefully secure the costs of the war. In reaction were again revolts that spread rapidly across the colony, many sectors of society began to romanticize the idea of a free and liberal Ardesia away from direct Euclean influence.

Ardesia (Luzelan: Ardésia; Ardesian Luzelese: [aʁdizˈiɐ]), or the Ardese , officially the Federative Republic of Ardesia, or Federative Republic of the Ardese is a sovereign country located in Asteria Superior. It neighbors Eldmark to the west, Marchenia to the north, and Vinalia to the east. It shares maritime borders with Maracao, Satucin, and previously mentioned Eldmark. Ardesia covers a population of over 51 million. It is a federation comprised of 12 federal states and 2 federal districts. The capitals of Ardesia are Rémont, and Sao Agostino. Both cities accounting roughly 20% of the population. Other major cities are Méndi, Porto Sotiri, and Ravelle. The official language of Ardesia is Luzelan. Ardesia is heavily multiethnic, with many ethnicities of Euclean, Black, Mixed, and indigenous backgrounds. Solarian Catholicism is the predominant religion in Ardesia, with the secondary being indigenous spiritism.

Prior to colonization from Vespasian explorers of Poveglia. It had belonged to the indigenous peoples of Tetuolmec and Tzapotlan civilizations, both having spanned territories upon Ardesia proper. By 1523 it was colonized under the name of Novo Poveja and flourished to the cultivation of sugar canes and deposits of metals. The Solarian Church propped the spread of Sotirianity through the colony all while the region had been governed through Rémont. Vespasian was also widely spoken through the coats. Shortly after the establishment of Rémont, cities of Porto Sotiri and Sao Agostino were built up and swallowed the rest of the coasts for commerce. Many cultural indigenous influences had also been embraced around the 1600's.

After the major Ten Years' War and Povelia's defeat causing bankruptcy, the colony was sold to Paretia in 1724. Multiple Vespasian settlers and landowners fled the colony, notably a large portion remained in Sao Agostino and Rémont. Ardesia's nationstate identity fully solidified after the Ardesian War of Independence, waged during the revolutions in Paretia against the barely supplemented forces in Asteria. Ardesia was victorious under the armies of the United Provinces of the Ardese, triumphant over the battles of TBD and TBD. The first republic of Ardesia was notably unstable, encountering an issue centralizing the country around the concurrent capital of Rémont. The first president and remarked patriot of Ardesia, Jerónimo Mendez, quickly handed power over to a provisional government that operated as a benevolent dictatorship under patriot and General Augusto Pacheco. Under the dictatorship he sought to restore stability by reforms that still remain in use in Ardesia today.

Ardesia modernized and experienced internal stability for nearly 100 years, only adjusting the term limits of a president under the pretext of the War of the Arucian. The following decades of Ardesia were marked by the Great Collapse, ushering a party of functionalists to firstly be elected through the chambers. The chamber elections and failure of the aimed presidency by the candidate Dinis Montecara ended in a coup supported by the military in 1923. The Ardesian State collapsed by the end of the Great War, both by incursions of the Allied forces and rebel partisans. Ardesia was briefly under an interim government before entering the 'Old Republic', remarked by the staunch leftism and social welfare policies that were enacted. These were cutshort by another though lighter military coup, the Estado Novo dictatorship that ruled as a one party state until its collapse in 1980. A peaceful transition of power to the last provisional government had ensured Ardesia long sought stability. Under a new presidency foreign investment was reintroduced ushering a period of brief economic prosperity, including an upbringing of tripartism that evolved Ardesia into a near social democracy.

A set of measures to stabilize the economy had also removed hyperinflation. Many of the contemporary Ardesian domestic issues have pertained to corruption within spheres of media companies, notable political parties, coastal gang violence, and the mid-2010s poverty crisis. The economy is a developed mixed economy, with major exports of Iron, raw sugar, coffee, tourism, and automotives. Ardesia is a newly industrialized country, all while a regional power in the Asterias. Ardesia is the world's TBD by nominal GDP and TBD by PPP. It is a member of the Community of Nations, OAN, and ITO.


Etymology

The word 'Ardesia' comes from the Luzelese word 'Ardósia', meaning slate. It likely pertains to the sedimentary rock from few of the inactive volcanoes of the Arucian Coasts. Furthermore the Luzelese word 'Ardósia' comes from the Gaullican word 'Ardoise', and from the Tenic root *ard(u)- 'high, in altitude'

The official name of Ardesia in its colonial period was "Novo Poveja" (New Poveglia) derived from the Vespasian state who colonized the lands. People outside nobility and within commerce commonly called it "Land of the Slate", due to the immense amount of slate that was used in trade. The informal name usurped the official Vespasian name overtime, with the purchase of Ardesia by Luzela cementing this. The native Zapoyan name for Ardesia is "Tzapotlan", meaning "abundance of sapote".

Human habitation of Ardesia has been dated all the way back to 10,000 BCE based off chipped pottery and stone works. Many of these discoveries were made recently in the northeast valleys of Ocotlan. Nomad and hunter gatherer societies had existed in the valley before settling down to the Gulf of Cresconio, developing works of surviving pottery. Agriculture eventually began with the cultivations of beans, tomatoes and maize. The now evolved hunter gatherer group had been the Zapoyans, which had overtaken a neighboring adversary being the Tetuolmec civilisations by 100 CE. The Tetuolmecs notably developed functioning social formations, effective water systems and uncommonly, large populations. The area of the Hueyatl Peninsula and the gulf grew a population of approximately 6 million people. Other groups grew to being mostly semi-nomadic with the niche of migrant farming and fishing. Much of the overtaken lands of the Tetuolmecs later formed the Tzapotlan empires. The Tzapotlan Empire already subjected closer local states and tribes and began to engage in protracted conflict with the encroaching presence of the Uuchmaans, already fighting the more farther empire of the Meyaletun.

Tzapotlan Empire in 1522

Within the 10th century the Tzapotlan empire further centralized power and expanded greatly into the west against the gulf. Cities such as the later Sao Agostino, Remont, and Ravelle were absorbed, with the inclusion of these settlements saw a flourish of culture.
