History

Ancient History c. 30-150

It is not known for certain were the first inhabitants of the current day area of Democratic Mada arrived from. Historians speculate that a mass migration from Northwestern Zoonbringma occurred to the northern areas of Casti in the years of 30-60. The migrants relied heavily on agriculture and tried desperately to farm in the northern rocky soil, but soon migrated south to more arable land. The ancient Madaishtans established farming communities in current day Pratzé and Léon. A feudal society began to grow as leaders of communities began to arise due to wealth and status. These were the first lords and soon to be kings. City-States began to form as organized governments and society gave way because of the agricultural revolution. City-States grew in population and in area. By the year 150, Lords began to compete for power and wealth and soon formed dozen of small empires in current day Democratic Mada.

Age of Empires c. 150-300

By the year 150, small kingdoms began to emerge from the feudal system. Regional culture began to develop which the arts, language, and literature. Many of the dialects of Madia originated from the Age of Empires.

The three major kingdoms existed: The Kingdom of Jedorben, The Kingdom of Priatzo, and The Kingdom of Léon.

The Kingdom of Jedorben was located in the northern regions of Pratzé and the southern mountains of Casti. The economy was based on the forced mining of precious metals and gems. The monarchs were generally despotic and were characterized as harsh and cruel leaders. Two classes existed in Jedorben, the extreme rich and the extreme poor. Civil unrest in this region was common, and it was this region that initiated the Revolution.

The Kingdom of Pritazo was a costal kingdom, occupying the coast line of current day Pratzé. The people of this region were sailors and fishermen. Pritazo was regionally known for shipping and thus trade was a huge industry. Pritazo is different from other kingdoms in that the feudal system was not as prominent and class division was not as wide. The monarch, for the most part, exercised just rule. Education was an important institution in this kingdom. Engineers and sailors were trained in trade schools for the shipping industry. Also, being an international port, Pritazo saw a wide array of culture from around the world. This region was the most progressive out of the three major kingdoms.

The Kingdom of Léon was situated in the current day province of Léon. Agriculture was the main industry in Léon, as it still is today. The Feudal System was the governmental structure in this region. A king was at the top of the hierarchy, while lords control large areas of land tended by serf farmers. Life was nethier bad nor good in this region. As long as production of crops was met, a citizen was relatively safe from the fist of the lords. Serf culture centered on the community and family, as seen today in Léon. Many folk tales, songs, and legends were born in Léon.

In the year 300 King Veshta of Jedorben launched a crusade on the surrounding kingdoms. Assignations of lords and kings in the other kingdoms were carried out. Priatzo suffered greatly during this invasion, because the kingdom began to see progressive governmental change, such as the implementation of a constitutional monarchy. Veshta and his men unified the three kingdoms into one large kingdom. The new Kingdom of Gren Jedorben emerged and took the area into a dark sector of history, the Years of Tyranny and Oppression.

Years of Tyrany and Opression c. 300-360

The 60 year long period in which Vesta and his son ruled Gren Jedorben was marked by an opressive monarchy. The impoverished class consisted of 94% of the population. Veshta used the poor as his soldiers in the army which invaded other regions, expanding the kingdom and the opression. Conquered nations were subject to slavery and the citizens of Gren Jedorben were also opressed and forced to work for the kingdom. Genocides were carried out by the secret police of Veshta with many ethnic minorities from conquered nations being murdered. This period is the darkest and saddest period of history in Democratic Mada.

The Revolution and Regional Independence 361-380

The revolutionary mind of Jéol Debs organized, in secret, the Dominion of the Oppressed in 361. This organization sought to end the rule of the Vestans who had placed everyone under their control in chains of tyranny and oppression. Debs along with Seoli Zajaě created a militia in 369 and began to plan small attacks against the king's subjects in the southern portion of the kingdom. Revolutionary mind, Luoi Sažjec pushed the king's army out of the eastern part of current Democratic Mada in a 48 day battle in the year 372. This defeat of the king was the official beginning of the revolution. Sažjec and Zajaě united forces and kept pushing the king out of the eastern region. In 375, the king launched a huge counter attack which killed Zajaě in the south eastern region of DM. This was a huge blow to the revolutionary forces. The forces of Debs and Sažjec only fought more glorious after the death of Zajaě. Revolutionary shouts of, “remember Zajaě!” and “for Zajaě!” were calls to action. 379 was a successful year for the revolutionaries. The revolutionaries marched on the capital of the kingdom and took the city siege. The revolutionaries demanded a treaty be drawn up, but the king continued to refuse. Revolutionaries stormed the castle in early 380 only to find the king dead by his own hand. The revolution was over, tyranny was removed, oppression ended. Debs and Sažjec were left with an unstable land with no government.

The Dominion 396-499

The Dominion of Madaishtal was created at the ending of the revolution. This dominion was a formulation of many states within the region. It was a period of experimentation with government. New ideas such as mass democracy and freedom were establishments in the dominion. The institutions of modern Democratic Mada are based on those of the Dominion. However, the Dominion became increasingly conservative as time progressed. Bussiness began to entrench the system and democracy began to fade in the concluding years of the Dominion. In 489, northern revolutionaries began to ask for reform and change. After several fedual attempts, they began to boycott the central government. Revolutionaries in other parts of the Dominion began to do the same. The power of the Dominion dwindled quickly and in 495 states began to break away from the central government, creating their own independent nations. Democratic Mada brokw away in 499.

Independent Democratic Mada 500 - ?

The People's Republic of Democratic Mada became an independent nation after the almost bloodless January Revolution. The Dominion of Madaishtal sperated into many indpendent nations after the Treaty of šeola was signed on 1 Ezra 505. It became a memeber of the Alliance of Socialist States on 20 Ezra 505.
