Numerous organized tribes have inhabited the modern day Seven United in antiquity up to colonization.

Seven United (ðə ˈsɛvn jʊˈnaɪtɪd), officially referred to as The Unified Damsmarian States of The Seven United is a sovereign state in the geographical area known as Damsmar, which is within Corentia. The Seven United includes seven constituent states, covering an area of /,/. With a population of over 53 million inhabitants it is relatively underpopulated compared to nations of a smaller size throughout Sunalaya. The capital of The Seven United and the largest metropolis in Damsmar is the city of Aygon with 4.4 million inhabitants. Other major cities include Celstead, Podzia, Lindon, Trinidad and Mar Menor.
Numerous organized tribes have inhabited the modern day Seven United in antiquity up to colonization. The region Damsmar itself was only named after colonists had arrived in the area though no true origin of the name has yet to be discovered. Beginning somewhere around the 4th and 5th centuries AD/CE the signs of organized civilization become more apparent, but it was only until the 15th century AD/CE did the Mizkenij Empire the first real organized state, start to dominate Damsmar. The Mizkenij Empire flourished until the arrival of Englean and Ventismaren colonists bringing disease and chaos to the once stable Emperordom. Within twenty years the Empire was dissolved and its riches plundered by colonists, and the natives brutally dispersed by plantations.
In the late 18th century, Damsmar had unilaterally declared independence from its colonial overlords. A collective government which equally gave power to the ethnic regions of Damsmar (Native/Rhodeve/German/Etc) was formed, and the regions which denoted ethnic boundaries created the states which we see today, bar Caledonia and Aragon whom both later acquired independence in modern times. Seeing an opportunity to dominate the newly independent region on their own, the Rhodeve Empire had invaded the newly formed Damsmarian Republic which severely lacked the military capability to thrust off such an invasion. For just under a hundred years the region saw an often brutal expansionist Rhodeve rule, however with continual years of failure, guerrilla warfare, and drought in Damsmar the last Rhodeve regiment left in the August of 1827, not before destroying many towns and executing regional leaders. Rhodevus has since apologised for this in the late 20th century. In the power vacuum left by the Rhodeves, which lasted decades, the first Emperor of Damsmar battled into control. Emperor Jos Lobive used the vast amounts of crudely left-behind Rhodeve equipment to subjugate unruly areas, and begin the build up of Damsmarian Empire which was proclaimed into existence on the fifth of October 1867.
The Damsmarian Empire had its capital in Podzia, the historic capital of the Mizkenij Empire. Under Emperor Julián Vertégas the capital was moved to Aygon in the year of 1904, due to its colonial development, distance to the sea and infrastructure, It was deemed more suitable than in the Montedoran. Podzia still continued as one of the most important cities of Damsmar. Further, the Empire developed far reaching infrastructure networks which make the framework of the modern motorway and rail network.
During World War Two, The Empire was an Axis power and under Emperor Mark Hermann Dulles an invasion of the Englean Kaiserreich was mounted. The invasion was a failure, with the Englean Kaiserreich while taking early defeats, pushed a heavy offence into Damsmar. The region was desolated after WW2 with over fifteen million lost in the Damsmarian population, of which has not yet recovered to its pre-war numbers. Split up into its seven states without much thought by the Allied powers, the region experienced thirty years of trouble and war. As conflict between the states continues with atrocities being committed mainly by paramilitaries and insurgents, the population continued to drop and emigration was the biggest driver in the Damsmarian population. It wasn't until 1981 after long months of negotiation and settlement did the first Acts of Integration be signed by the seven states, agreeing to form a political union to end conflict, hardship, war and terror. This political union we now know today as The Seven United.
In the 21st Century, The Seven United exists as a quasi political union between the seven constituent states which make up Damsmar. The Seven United scores relatively high in the human development index, but struggles in the GINI index. There are high environmental laws, employment and working standards rights, along with a Bismark model healthcare system. There is one armed force for the region The Commiss Army. The Seven United remains a safe nation, but in some parts paramilitarism and cartel activity continue to exert power and control.
Etymology
The word Damsmar doesn't appear to have a clear-cut origin. It is known that colonists had used the name in writing and vernacular to describe the land which was controlled by the Mizkenij Empire. The closest sounding relative to 'Damsmar' is the Latin word Damnatus meaning "to pass, to pronounce judgement, find guilty". This does not however fit into the way original colonists and natives used the word Damsmar, but it can however fit in to the view used by later colonists that had struggled to survive in Damsmar.
Demographics
The Unitary Census conducted yearly found that at the end of 2017, the population of The Seven United was 53,556,587 and had grown by 0.7% compared to the last year. Comparatively, the population of Damsmar on the eve of WW2 was 65 million. Emigration is still a large issue but the current economic situation has meant that many emigrants have begun to return to the country.
Languages
The languages exhibited in The Seven United is a direct result of the mad dash to colonise Damsmar, with the seven states mainly being drawn up on the borders of ethnic groups settled in the area. The Trident mainly speaks Spanish and English, similarly in The Bailor which mainly speaks English with French. The main Dutch and German stronghold of The Seven United is Caledonia, with over twenty percent of inhabitants in the state being able to speak Dutch with over thirty percent recording themselves as being able to fluently speak German.
The native indigenous languages spoken in Damsmar include Pizko, the largest language and spoken by the majority in Montedoran with its origins found within the Mizkenij Empire. There is also Slavic Tridecian, a large minority language in the Trident formed as a breakaway branch of Pizko. As well as finally Cravic spoken in Aragon, a language similar to Spanish thanks to colonists settling in Aragon.
There were many more different indigenous languages, but the vast majority of pre-colonial languages have died out thanks to the death of the Mizkenij Empire and the rule of colonists thereafter.
