Etymology and Terminology
When Sutranovka united the region, they were given rights to name it. They settled on "Tiskaiya" after there home in the Tikaiskov Valley (Now Sutranovan Valley).
Tiskai-Bretislav United Kingdom (970-1048)
In 970, the Czar of Tiskaiya ventured west of his lands to conquer the Bretislavian tribes. In the 8 month conquest, Beginning in January and ending in August, he successfully defeated the 13 tribal kingdoms ruling most of Bretislavia's current lands. The young Czar would go on to create the Tiskai-Bretislav United Kingdom. This partnership would last 78 years and somewhat thrive during his rule. Creating a united economy and social structure, leading to a mass Slavic immigration from the dense lands of Tiskaiya to the relatively sparsely populated lands of Bretislavia. These Slavs would settle in the southeast of the country closest to their native land of Tiskaiya. To help bypass the language barrier between the early English language and Slavic language, the czar would allow each county to have certain freedoms regarding military, education, and other things to avoid confusion. It was only really in the southeast where early English languages were intertwined with Slavic ones. Due to the language barrier and high levels of local bureaucracy, a rivalry would grow in the late years of the Kingdom, becoming a contributing factor to the later war between the two regions.
While the difference in culture was massive, Bretislavian tribes and Tiskaiyans shared a love of militarism and bonded cultures over jousting, dueling, and hunting activities. The combination of these two cultures resulted in a culmination of western and eastern technology and medicines, boosting the countries growth but also serving to hamper it.
While the Tiskai Czar was benevolent and chivalrous to the Bretislav people, he was still a foreign ruler. He was not the most popular figure, even in newer generations of Bretislavians, who had only known Tiskai leadership since birth. Even with the concessions made to Bretislavians by the Czar, he never could remove the Bretislavian spirit from the region, leading to harsh military reactions by the czar when Bretislavians dissented against his rule and plead for a return of Bretislavian independence.
