The original Cotland was the small oblasts of Kirov and Ivanovo, who was ruled by the blood-thirsty warlord Vladimir the Bloody. He invaded and conquered most of the provinces in present day Cotland. Only Tartarstan remained. In 1102 BC Vladimir the Bloody was killed in an assault on the Tartarstanian capitol village Roskji. His oldest son Ivan, aged 4 at the time, took over the throne, but was overthrown shortly after for having 198 persons killed because they didn't allow him to eat candy before dinner. | The original Cotland was the small oblasts of Kirov and Ivanovo, who was ruled by the blood-thirsty warlord Vladimir the Bloody.

In the early 1900s, after several decades of dismay, the population of Romator (Tunisia and Sicily) revolted. They threw all Roman troops out of Romator, declared their independence and started a democracy. They also disbanded most of the little military that was left after the Roman retreat. The new nation was approched by Cotland, who wanted a colony in the Mediterranian. The population of Romator had a vote over it, and a wooping 99,7% of the population agreed to the Cottish proposal. Only 359 persons objected, feeling that Romator should go back to Carthage. Those individuals were shipped to the Carthagians in exile soon after. | In the early 1900s, after several decades of dismay, the population of Romator (Tunisia and Sicily) revolted.

History
The original Cotland was the small oblasts of Kirov and Ivanovo, who was ruled by the blood-thirsty warlord Vladimir the Bloody. He invaded and conquered most of the provinces in present day Cotland. Only Tartarstan remained. In 1102 BC Vladimir the Bloody was killed in an assault on the Tartarstanian capitol village Roskji. His oldest son Ivan, aged 4 at the time, took over the throne, but was overthrown shortly after for having 198 persons killed because they didn't allow him to eat candy before dinner.
The next in line was Thomas Gray, a foreign mercenary in Vladimirs army. He invited a lot of friends from England and Scotland, and made a empire which he named Cotland, a name that sounded like Grays native Scotland.
After 100 years, 26% of the population consisted of decendants of the English and Scottish settlers. after a further 300 years, 74% were decendants from the British settlers. The rest were Russian. The two populations came along well. In 1438, the inhabitants of Tartarstan decided that they too wanted a part of the action, and offered the ruler of Cotland, Henry Gray, the reign of Tartarstan and all her rescources if they could join Cotland.
Cotland fought off everyone that tried to invade, finally ending up as the most powerful nation in the region, both military and economicly. The Cottish wealth has raised the standard of living in Cotland, giving her a very low unemployment rate. Cotland has made allies over the years, but the most dramatic chapter in newer Cottish history was yet to come, and then it came from within.
In the early 1900s, after several decades of dismay, the population of Romator (Tunisia and Sicily) revolted. They threw all Roman troops out of Romator, declared their independence and started a democracy. They also disbanded most of the little military that was left after the Roman retreat.
