Antiquity(Although for the League and it's role-plays, Osea-Yuktobania has adopted the technological status of Takhisis)
In ancient times, this area was settled by Faraedian, Nerekian, Napans and various other tribe peoples. In the early middle ages, it was ruled by the The Thek Olai Empire.
Tribes began settling in the area of what was originally just Osea in the 4th century.By the 7th and 8th centuries, a denser population referred to as the Seven Cities Tribes had settled on the slopes of the Hammerhead Mountains. The western part of this territory came under the jurisdiction of the Seven Cities Republic in the 9th century.
When the warlord Hudan Ysvail the Great began expanding his control of the Osean territories, he gained control of a large swath of the Hammerhead Mountains, forcing another warlord named Laborec Ahnail to recognize his authority at the end of the 9th century. In 896 the Napans crossed the Hammerhead Range and migrated into the Orlay Basin. Laborec fell from power under the efforts of the Napans and the Faraedian forces; many of these forces remained behind and were assimilated by the Seven Cities Tribes.
A great deal of this territory and its settlers subsequently became the western edge of Faraedian’ principality in the 10th century, and remained within Faraedian’ in the 11th century. As the Napans included Osea into the medieval Kingdom of Yuktobania, many of the local inhabitants were assimilated. Local nobility often intermarried with the Napan nobles to the south. Prince Rostislav, a Faraedian noble unable to continue his family's rule of many of the Osean territories, governed a deak from 1243 to 1261 for his father-in-law, Trunoc of Osea, thus creating Osea-Yuktobania.
The territory's ethnic diversity increased with the influx of some 40,000 Nerekian settlers, who came to the Orlay Basin after becoming indebted to the Faraedians, resulting in conquest and assimilation of their culture and homeland.
The county administrative system was expanded to whole Osea-Yuktobania and the area was divided between counties of Lether, Assail, Korel, and Jacuruku. Of which in these counties, are numerous city-states and so on that constitute the whole of the Federal Republic of Osea-Yuktobania.
Current TimelineFrom 1426, the Federal Republic has been influenced by various noble families. Most notably those of the Ysvail, Ahnail, and Meddora.
In the 15th century (until 1548) the entire region was part of the greater Oseaian Territories, and between 1582 and 1585, its north-western part was administered by the vassal Cyrnic Principality of the Warlord Imre Thököly. In 1599, however the entire region was siezed by the armies of the Federal Republic after a series of events that escaleted tensions between Thököly and the burgeoning Federal Republic. Between 1650 and 1660 the Federal Republic's newly acquired territories were divided into five military districts, and the region of the former Cyrnic Principality was part of the Military District of Košice. After 1667, the region was administratively included into Osea-Yuktobania.
In 1710, population of Osea-Yuktobania included 605,942 people, of which 330,010 (54.5%) speakers of Faraedian language, 185,433 (30.6%) speakers of Napan language, 64,257 (10.6%) speakers of Nerekian language, 11,668 (1.9%) speakers of Wickan language, 6,346 (1%) speakers of Rhivi language, and 8,228 (1.4%) speakers of other languages.[/spoiler]
The economic condition of the Federal Republic, owing to the progress in material prosperity which had taken place in the country as the result of the Republic-Nocian War, was at the accession of the Prime Minister, Havar Trake to power as it's representative on September 18, 1672. Politically, however, the outlook was not so favourable. In their results, the reforms inaugurated during the preceding reign did not answer expectations.
Within three years of the introduction of the new electoral laws the Ministry of Affairs had forfeited much of its former popularity, and had been forced to suffer several resignations of key members. In the vital matter of national defence no common understanding had been arrived at, and during the conflicts which had raged round this question, the two chambers had come into frequent collision and paralysed the action of the government. The peasant proprietors, who, under the name of the "Landers" party, formed a compact majority in the Second Chamber, pursued a consistent policy of class interests in the matter of the taxes and burdens that had, as they urged, so long oppressed the Federal Republic peasantry; and consequently when a bill was introduced for superseding the old system of army organization by general compulsory service, they demanded as a condition of its acceptance that the military burdens should be more evenly distributed in the country, and that the taxes, which they regarded as a burden under which they had wrongfully groaned for centuries, should be abolished.
In these circumstances, the "Lander" party in the Federal Republic, who desired the lightening of the military burden, joined those who desired the abolition of landlordism, and formed a compact and predominant majority in the Second Chamber, while the nobility and Liberal parties were reduced to an impotent "intelligence" minority. This majority in the Lower Chamber was at once attacked by another compact majority in the Upper, who on their side maintained that the hated land taxes were only a kind of rent-charge on land, were incidental to it and in no way weighed upon the owners, and moreover that its abolition would be quite unwarrantable, as it was one of the surest sources of revenue to the state. On the other hand, the First Chamber refused to listen to any abolition of the old military system, so long as the defence of the country had not been placed upon a secure basis by the adoption of general compulsory military service. The government stood midway between these conflicting majorities in the chambers, without support in either.
The Federal Republic "Lander" party was formed in 1667. It consisted mostly of the larger and smaller peasant proprietors, who at the time of the old Ministry of the Estates, were always opposed to the nobility and the clergy. The object of the party was to bring about a fusion between the representatives of the large landed proprietors and the regular peasant proprietors, to support the interests of landed proprietors in general against those of the town representatives, and to resist Federalist interference in the administration of local affairs.
Such was the state of affairs when Havar Trake, surrounded by his advisers, began his reign. One of his first cares was to increase the strength of his Federal Navy, but in consequence of the continued antagonism of the political parties, he was unable to effect much. In the first chamber, however, the so-called "compromise", which afterwards played such an important part in Republic political life, came into existence. It originated in the small "Landstrad" party in the Upper House, and was devised to establish a modus vivendi between the conflicting parties, i.e. the champions of national defence and those who demanded a lightening of the burdens of taxation. The representatives of the Republic Council and Prime Minister Havar Trake perceived in the compromise a means of solving the conflicting questions, and warmly approved it.
He persuaded his fellow council members to constitute a special inquiry into the proposed abolition of land taxes, and in the address with which he opened the first chamber of 1675, and laid particular stress upon the necessity of giving attention to the settlement of these two burning questions, and in 1680 again came forward with a new proposal for increasing the number of years of service with the militia. This motion having been rejected, Havar Trake resigned, and was succeeded by Prime Minister Arvid Ahnail.
The new Prime Minister endeavoured to solve the question of defence in accordance with the views of the "Landers" party. Three parliamentary committees had prepared schemes for a remission of the land taxes, for a new system of taxation, for a reorganization of the Federal Republic Army based on a "stamtrupp" (regular army), by the enlistment of hired soldiers, and for naval reforms. In this last connection the most suitable types of vessels for coast defence as for offence were determined upon. But Prime Minister Ahnail, deserted by his own party over the army bill, resigned, and was succeeded on May 16, 1684 by Rupar Themptander, who had been minister of finance in the previous cabinet. The new premier succeeded in persuading the First Chamber to pass a bill increasing the period of service with the colours in the army to six years and that in the militia to forty-two days, and as a set-off a remission of 30% on the land taxes.
