Slovertia was originally a group of warring kingdoms, Bishoprics and Duchies which in the year 1207 were united into one country by Aleskander The Uniter who founded the kindgdom of Slovertia. Slovertia was annexed by the Empire of Berique in 1503 and stayed under the ruke of Berique until 1815 when Slovertia became an independent kingdom again. In 1851 the free state of South Mazuria invaded Slovertia's capital Brativas which has switched back and forth between the Mazurian and Sloverti nations for hundreds of years. Slovertia launched a counter invasion pushing all the way into South Mazuria itself, Slovertia annexed South Mazuria in 1855 and incorporated it into The Kingdom of Slovertia. In 1936 the third Sloverti civil war broke out with the republican fraction winning in 1940 and taking control of the country, turning it into a Republic. In the mid forties Slovertia joined the Technocratic Bloc. Slovertia was amemeber of the Bloc until its collapse in the late eighties. After the collapse of The Technocratic Bloc Slovertia became a democratic republic for the first time in its history.
