| |
| − | The history of Dimmimar truly began in sometime around 6000 BC, when primeval settlers from the islands in the Southern sea, managed to cross from island to island, eventually reaching Dimmimar which is "The promised land" in the native tongue ( f. ''dimm'' promised, ''imar'' land).
| |
| | | | |
| − | At first the natives began to settle around the vast island, at least 6000 square miles large. These settlements were to lay the foundations for the Dimmimaran civilization.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | By 500 BC, several warring factions controlled Dimmimar, including several prominent city states, the largest of which was the city state of Annuminatar, which encomposed the entire of the modern day province of Dimmimar Superior.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1050 AD, settlers from the nearby medieval superpower of Jarriabad landed on the main island, and claimed the land for their own. They demanded heavy tribute from the nearby rulers, and raped women and pillaged the nearby land.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The local ruler, Halama Serpentius (a descendant of the modern day dictator), expelled the settlers, sending their mutialated bodies back to Jarriabad as a warning. This was to prove the catalyst for the war that was about to come.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1051 AD, A gigantic war-host of Jarriabad warriors landed near to the ancient city of Prospensia. The invading warriors razed the city to the ground, killing every single person in the city, man, women or child.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The act was met with general outrage by the other states, and they formed a confederation the force the Jarriabad from their lands. This was a precursor to Dimmimaran unity, and was the first alliance between the states.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Unfortunately, the confederation's armies were crushed and the Jarriabadians destroyed most of the cities, laying waste to crops and villages, ensuring that terrible famines engrossed the entire country, killing millions.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The historical records from 1150 - 1850 are almost non-existent, all that historians can tell is that the country as a whole was in complete anarchy, with no known ruler to unite them.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | However, in 1850, a child called Gaius Dotage from the province of Pertuntiuscame forwards and declared himself the prophet of god. He said that all that did not submit to his rule, were evil and not true Dimmimarian's.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The local warlords decided to get rid of the boy and raised an army to attack his band of warriors. The warlords were completely routed at the battle of Persungard, and Gaius now controlled the southern part of Dimmimar.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He engaged a war of conquest, forcing the local rulers to acknowledge his rule or be slaughtered. Most of the accepted.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1865, Gaius was crowned High Imperator of Dimmimar, a title that would endure to this day.
| |
| − |
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1901, a small group called the DLA, or Dimmimaran Liberation Army caused the construction of Dimmimar's first labour union. At first Gaius turned a blind eye, but then the support for the union was so great that it threatened to topple the government.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On the so-called bloody sunday, Dimmimaran forces opened fire upon a mass rally of some 12 million workers. Approximately 10 million people died, gunned down or shelled.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This forced both Macleodian and The Fedral Union forces to topple Gaius. Although the battle was hard fought, the support of the people was with the foreign forces. Gaius was executed by his own servants on the 2nd of November 1903.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For a short time, a democratic government was in place, but in 1909, the military General Jango, declared a military dictatorship. His reign was far more authotarian than Dotage's. During his reign, the capital of Sevaris was annihalated, millions of people were slaughtered.
| |
| − |
