Hatarian History

In 1200 BC, Hataria was composed of a group of tribes, the largest of the tribes being the Hatar, followed by the Tenhos, Jin-Jin, Ruya (a Sea-fairing tribe) and Asakuras.

Hataria is Hatarian for "Land of the Moon", "Hatar" Meaning "Moon". It is said in Hatarian myth that the Hatarians came to Earth from the Moon.

Though Hataria was named for the Hatar tribe, it was the Asakuras that ruled Hataria by AD 200. The Asakuras, called "The Horsemen of the North", captured the city of Hatari (modern Hataropoils) and then proceeded to conquered the rest of Hataria.

The Ruya, living on The Black Islands invaded Hataria in AD 1107, captured the coast and pushed the Asakuras into northern Hataria.

An event that occured in the year AD 1230 changed Hataria forever. A Japanese ship that was lost, found its way to Hataria. The Hatarians had developed gunpowder by 678 BC, but the Japanese language was new to the native Hatarians. Japanese soon came to be the main language of Hataria, since they never developed a writen language.

Little changed by 1940, aside from the large population growth in Tangalee and Hataropolis. Hataria was not involved in any fighting during World War II, but the Japanese did maintain a naval base in Hataria.

Hataria developed into a republic by 2004, but war soon hit Hataria. Whittier and his allies waged an extensive and destructive campaign. In addition to this large war, the Hatarian colony of Hatarian Mammalia fell into rebellion, Hatarian rule of Hatarian Mammalia soon ended. Hataria was shortly conquered and divided by the nations of Canan, ITD and DPUO.

An Hatarian rebellion through out the puppet governments installed by Canan and DPUO, but ITD still maintains control of the western sections of Hataria.

Hataria was molded into an imperial republic, and was first ruled by Emperor Barbarossa, a member of the Asakura tribe. Barbarossa wished to form a world empire, but wars that erupted with the Parthians and Nikolos the Great ended his plans of global domination; then the colony of Maidia fell into rebellion.

The Nueve Italian Civil War was Hataria's one victory, and gave Hataria a new enemy, the Roman Republic.

Barbarossa was assasinated in 2005, apparently by a Roman assasin. Serena of the Calvria Provence, Barbarossa's young sister, assumed the throne and resumed building an empire. A terrorist attack by Very Small Island instigated another war that same year, a war that Hataria won.

Hataria is now fighting in the Nation States War I and is allied with Axis Nova and The Cassiopeia Galaxy.
