Early History
Tiskaiya as a nation was founded in 1402. It was then the Kingdom of Tiskaiya. It quickly set itself up as a civilized nation. Tiskaiya was mainly in isolation until 1552. The 1552 Serf Rebellion quickly threw Tiskaiya out of isolation as it began looking for an edge to crush the rebellion, the was answered with the Snaphance Flintlock, and the rebellion was crushed in 1561. From this point forwards, Tiskaiya became an absolute monarchy. From 1592-1705 Tiskaiya returned to isolationism. However the Black Thursday Incident caused threat of revolution, so King Vasily IV returned some power back to the nobles. From this point forwards, Tiskaiya would rapidly modernize.
In 1722 Tiskaiya completed it's first Navy, while a relatively small force, it was mighty. Consisting of 7 First Rates, 10 Second Rates, 14 Third Rates, 16 Fourth Rates, 18 Fifth Rates, 22 Sloops, 28 frigates, 32 Brigs, and 40 Schooners.
1800 - 1900
This was Tiskaiya's golden age. 5 of Ridgefield's most prestigious universities were founded during this time. Oryshevsk University, University of Pyatidovo, Trasnaya University, Fedorov University and the University of Novoshi. Literacy rates climbed to 78%, up from 43% in 1725. Tiskaiya adjusted quickly to the industrial revolution and thus cities quickly grew. A sophisticated rail system spread across the Kingdom. Quality Tiskai steel allowed for skyscrapers, and the discovery of oil in the north helped everything run smoothly. Winters during this period were as mild as they have ever been allowing for extended growing seasons. Food was plentiful and people were happy.
Modern Times
Tiskaiya became a Federal Republic in 1924 with the peaceful abdication of Ivan XVI. Since then Tiskaiya has completely abandoned isolationism and opened trade with other world powers such as Antarcticao, Bretislavia, and Judea. Tiskaiya has kept up with technological advances and is now one of the most powerful nations in Ridgefield.
