Protectorate of Kwontyani (Anikatian: |안니카탸의 보호국, Kwontyani Bohogug), was a Belfrasian Crown colony between 1686 and 1951. At first the area it covered did not include the all of the Anikatian continent, which were under native or foreign colonial control.

History

Beginnings

Human habitation of the Anikatia is estimated to have begun between 35,000 and 38,000 years ago, possibly with the migration of people by short sea-crossings from neighboiring islands. These first inhabitants may have been ancestors of modern Indigenous Jiyeongeul, who are also found on the neighbouring continent of Ashizwe. From period a diverse number of ethnic groups emerged either from migration of adaption to the landscape and climate. At the time of Belfrasian settlement in the late 17th century, Their were around six dominate ethic groups spread throughout the continent of Azumakya. The Belfrasian settlers arriving the southern parts of the mainland discovering the smaller Chijich'en and Jiyeongeul tribes. While ealier Ulthrannic and Sieuxrttian traders have discovered the Ky'iushqīn kingdom, Xi'Kytiahu dynasty and along with the Mahyrncan Empire. Arthristan traders had discovered the remains of the Ak'ijianun kingdom. These native civilizations emerged at least three millennia ago in the lowland area of the main islands. Many aspects of this culture persist in the area despite nearly 200 years of colonization and domination by imperial powers. Prior to the rise of the three main kingdoms, semi-sedentary hunter-gatherer culture, who include ancestors of both the contemporary Jiyeongeul people and Kypsyak people, characterised by pit dwelling and rudimentary agriculture. some hunting and foraging bands settled in small farming villages.

Dynastic Anikatia

The early rise of these new civilizations spread themselves over what is now Anikatia beginning in around 2200 BCE, and flourished there until colonization. From 8th century BCE marked the emergence of a strong Anikatian state, centered on an imperial court in Hei'kyoi (modern Heyani). This period is characterized by the appearance of a complex literature as well as the development of impressive art and architecture it is here when a distinctly indigenous Anikatian culture emerged. The first Anikatian dynasty that left historical records, the loosely feudal Zi'yohek, settled along the Bazin river in eastern Anikatia from the 6th to 3rd century BCE. The records of Zi'yohek Dynasty represents the oldest form of Anikatian writing yet found, and is a direct ancestor of modern Jiyeongeul and Kypsyak written languages. The Kyoi-Hu state which ruled, until its centralized authority was slowly eroded by warlords. Many independent states eventually emerged from the weakened Kyoi-Hu state and continually waged war with each other until 289 CE. By this time there were seven powerful sovereign states in what is now Anikatia, each with its own king, ministry and army.

Kingdoms and Empires

From the 3rd to 12th century the Anikatian native civilizations reached their zenith. The first to rise was the Mahyrncan Empire during the 3rd century along the eastern coast of Anikatia, it consisted mainly of the descendants of the modern Riyanu and Kypsyak ethnic groups. It was not a unified forced but rather an amalgamation of languages, cultures and peoples. The components of the empire were not all uniformly loyal, nor were the local cultures all fully integrated. It was followed by the Ky'iushqīn kingdom, Xi'Kytiahu dynasty and Ak'ijianun kingdom in the north east from the 6th and 7th century respectively. The Mahyrncan Empire controlled at its height controlled largest extend of island with territory covering almost half the eastern side of the mainland, and is represented by countless sites throughout Anikatia. Under the Mahyrncan Empire, Anikatia enjoyed another golden age, developing a rich economy amid a flourishing of art and culture. It was during this period that Empire began expanding south from the 487 until 902 when it had reached what is now Jeongaelguk. Then it expanded north from 960 however the advance north was halted after the Battle of the Kuiya where they met determined resistance by the Xi'Kytiahu Dynasty. The empire's push into the north was pushed back by the dynasty in 1279.

Early Colonisation

While not much is known it is certain Sieuxerrian sailors and explorers had begun trading and creating outposts with the Mahyrncan Empire from around 1400-1500s. External trade did not much interest the empire which was busy trying to manage its large and diverse populations. In these early years smallpox, introduced from Sieuxerr and preceding the Ulthrannic conquerors swept through the Mahyrncan Empire. The death of the Mahyrncan ruler Ka-Shij Yi'apnic as well as most of his family including his heir, caused the fall of the Mahyrncan political structure and contributed to the civil war between the brother and sister Ka-huá Zyranu and La-Jyuiao Xi'an. Quickly following the Sieuxerr into Anikatia was the Grand Ulthrannic Empire, whose explorer Pedro de Borica set off with two vessels on the privately funded expedition discovered the island of Anjutya on the western coast of Anikatia. It was a tiny outpost of the small Ky'iushqīn kingdom, the Ulthrannic explorer quickly setup trading routes with the local kingdom. New infectious diseases, endemic to Sieuxerrian, Ulthrannic and later Belfrasians people, continued to cause high fatalities among the native populations. Successive Ulthrannic efforts saw the complete control of the Anjutya island as a trading post of the Ulthrannic Empire, leading to the collaspe of the fragile Ky'iushqīn dynasty. Ulthrannic colonization brought new groups of people to the country.

Formation

In 1668 Isaac Unaipon while exploring for the Belfrasian empire sailed near the region and sighting and mapped some of the south eastern coast and claimed the area for Belfras. Believing the area to be uninhabited Belfrasian vessels returned with the intend to settle a colony. They discovered the Chijich'en ethnic groups in nominally tribal groups who were mostly friendly towards the settlers. The Belfrasian settlers quickly setup the colony with the first settlement leading to the foundation of Delnaytn (now Aekyongju), the establishment of farming, industry and commerce; and the exploration and settlement of other regions. In 1686, Isaac Unaipon returned with his Belfrasian settlement fleet of vessels founded the first Belfrasian settlement in Anikatian history. Captain Isaac Unaipon assumed the role of governor of the settlement on arrival in 1686 until 1720.

Development

The Belfrasians used geographical knowledge to defeat the opposing native tribal forces along with other nations colonial holdouts in the mountainous and jungle areas of Kwontyani. They used local informants and Belfrasians surveyors to map the nation, then built a network of roads to open the central region. This made possible export production of plantation agriculture, as well as tighter military control. The laying of the railway was carried out during the Belfrasians governorship. The opening of rubber and tea plantations, road development schemes, establishment of hospitals and maternity homes throughout the island, were just some of the major works undertaken by the Belfrasians who ruled Kwontyani.

Demographics

The multiracial population of Kwontyani was numerous enough to support the foreign colonists; unlike the previous rulers, the Belfrasians embarked on a plantation programme which initially brought coffee plantations to the island. These were later wiped out by coffee rust. Instead the coffee plants were replaced by rubber and locally sourced tea plantations. This made Kwontyani one of the richest oriental countries in south-eastern Pardes. The Belfrasians also made them indentured labourers from some of the local populations to work the plantations. Although the seed of ethnic discord were already sown in the earlier Ulthrannic colonial era.

Government and military

Belfrasian Governors of Kwontyani

Between 1686 and 1790, Kwontyani was a Belfrasian crown colony. Although the Belfrasian monarch was the head of state, in practice his or her functions were exercised in the colony by the colonial Governor, who acted on instructions from the Belfrasian government in the capital.
