History
</div>Prehistoric Cannadiar
The island of Cannadiar originally contained thousand of tribes which lived as hunter-gatherers in small villages. As time passed and the technology of the tribes became more sophisticated, more tribes were eliminated while the more dominant ones spread their influence.
By the year 798, 16 dominant tribes remained, Countless wars between thr tribes followed in which there were two victors, the 7 southern tribes were now annexed and administered by the Sevlinos tribe whereas the northern 9 tribes were claimed by the Cannadis tribe. Both tribes fought each other in the Cannadia-Sevlino Tribal War after 150 years of combat with no significant achievement, a mounting amount of casulties and severe economic damage, the Treaty of Newtown was signed resulting in the end of the war and the first establishment of Slevino and Cannadiar.
Warlord Frederick IV made the decision to create the monarchy of Cannadiar which would create hereditary rule rather than the warlords system in which the most vicious and powerful tribalman would become Warlord of the tribe. Frederick became Frederick I of Cannadiar in which he was the first monarch in the House of Cannadis.
Frederick chose the city of Breham to be the capital of his nation, stating it to be "A most marvellous and quaint city which indeed pickled my fancy on various visits to the citadel". Frederick was also responsible for introducing [[Territorial Divisions of Cannadiar| territorial divisions in Cannadiar.
Expansion
Cannadiar experienced in the 13th - 15th century a great economic expansion in which the nations GDP trebled where the Agriculture, Construction and Mining industries flourished and together made almost a half of the countries GDP. The successes of the nation and political differences to the far-right nation of Slevino and it's Emperor caused high tensions under which the Emperor ordered that no trade should be made with the "Northern Monsters".
Tensions peaked in the late 17th century as explosives completely destroyed St Michaels Centre, a very important financial institution located in Breham. The attack was blamed on Slevinos terrorists, a claim which was refuted by Slevinos Emperor who claimed "Discrimination against the might of Slevino had caused the Northeners to point fingers at those of whom it fears".
A temporary treaty was drawn up, The Treaty of St Michael which aimed to establish a friendly bond between the two nations, the treaty was broken in the event of the invasion of Cannadiar by Slevino in 1682.
