History

Prehistory

What today is Aurivizh was first inhabited by Geltic groups around 700 BCE. These Geltic groups, today known as the "Aurivizht Proto-Gelts", are responsible for the majority of Aurivizh's Megalithic sites, of which it has many. These Proto-Gelts eventually settled down, and the first farming communities of Aurivizh were created in the area of modern-day Galivizh.

Duchy of Galivizh

The first real state was established in 832 CE when king Tivanou of Aurivizh (born-died), also known as the "Tad ar vro" (Father of the Nation) formed the Duchy of Galivizh near the coast. Galivizh took over multiple bordering communes, extending into an area making up a third of the modern-day borders. Tivanou passed away in 856, and with him, his nation went. Galivizh collapsed into multiple smaller states, of which the largest was the Kingdom of Alivezh. During this time, Christianity was introduced into Aurivizh.

Aurivizh-Izel

By 1300, the situation in Aurivizh has stabilised, and a single nation was once more in control over the majority of the land, the Kingdom of Alivezh. Alivezh quickly proved to be the most important city in Aurivizh, as its location near the sea, and fertile land made it perfect for trade between the Aurivizht nation-states. Alivezh, and its monarchy led by King Budac (born-died), had great aspirations for Alivezh, which, for Budac meant the unification of Aurivizh. Budac would not live to see that dream come true, but his successor's successor, King Baglan, made it come true, and in 1494 the Kingdom of Aurivizh-Izel, the first true Aurivizht nation was formed, with Baglan on its throne. In 1502, the largest church in the nation and the most famous Aurivizht building, Kouent a Sant Meriasek, finished its construction period, which had lasted for almost 200 years.

Aurivizh-Izel looked beyond its borders for territory, moving into neighbouring Aurivizht nations which did not give in to his hegemony, and then into completely different nations of Gelts. Airivizh-Izel assimilated most of them in brutal ways, which often included the torching of entire villages. However, after two hundred years of conquering, Aurivizh-Izel reached its peak, and in 1630 the nation was the largest any Aurivizht nation ever was, almost double the size of the modern nation. Yet, the nation could not stay, and after the death of king Baglan III, large sections of the nation which had been conquered from other Gelts revolted, resulting in Aurivizh-Izel collapsing into the centre nation, just slightly smaller than the modern borders.

Kingdom of Aurivizh

Aurivizh-Izel required reforming, which happened. King Saliou (born-died) reformed the kingdom of Aurivizh-Izel into just the kingdom of Aurivizh. He also reconquered the region of Tousaeg in a short war, giving Aurivizh its current borders. From 1744 to 1871 the monarchy reigned supreme. But in 1871, the Council of Advice was established, essentially turning Aurivizh from an absolute into a constitutional monarchy. Aurivizh began its process of industrialisation in 1891, with its first textile company opening in June of that year.

Early twentieth century

Aurivizh has had a turbulent twentieth century. The main two turning points were the 1943 revolution against the monarchy. The monarchy had become unpopular with the majority of the people, and a democratic union took power in the Council of Advice and turned the entire nation into a pure democracy. The second major event was the 1967 "Great" coup, which saw the democratic government, which had become weak due to factional infighting, being replaced by the Authoritarian government of Turien Rouault (born-1991). Rouault shaped Aurivizh into his vision, a strong, authoritarian state with a strong economy. This came at the expense of civil liberties, and the democratic rights which Aurivizh had enjoyed for a mere 20 years. Between 1977 and 1979, a war between Aurivizh and Ebrary was fought.

Late Twentieth century until now

Turien Rouault passed away in 1991 and was succeeded by Madenig Moigne. Moigne himself worked to make Aurivizh a more militarized nation, still continuing the strong government Rouault had imagined, but he passed away before his great military dream for Aurivizh was achieved. Moigne was replaced with Tudig Gwernig, the current leader of Aurivizh. Gwernig is, much like his two predecessors, interested in continuing a strong regime for Aurivizh, and has worked to achieve that. Ever since he took power in 2002, he has instigated plans to modernise his nation's economy, moving away from agriculture and moving into manufacturing and mining. Gwernig has also put reforms into infrastructure, modernising the antiquated railways and refurbishing the roads.
