History

Independance Gataway was not always a sovereign nation and was for decades, a disputed territory between the Kingdom of Silvasnia and the Republic of Asgradia. However the land has always been the home of the Gatawans, who were a minority group in Asgradia and Silvasnia. After years of fighting Silvasnia and Asgradia agreed to divide the lands of Gataway, following this the Gatawans banded together and began to protest for Independance this led to several years of bloody war as both Asgradia and Silvasnia attempted to stamp out the Gatawan "rebellion." After years of fighting a guerilla war combined with assassinations of both Asgradian and Silvasnian officals the Gatawans were able to secure independance which makes the start of the new Gatawan clander at 1 A.I.(After Independance)This newfound independance led an uneasy peace with its former rulers.

Seizing Asgradia

In the year 154 A.I. Asgradia began to encroach upon Gataway's lands once more. Thus another war broke out and following the battle of Kilnad in the Olstrum mountains the Asgradian army was trapped destroyed by the Gatawan people's army following this defeat Gatawan forces were able to easily over run the ill-equipped ill-trained Asgradian home guard during the massive counter offensive and seize power over Asgradia eventually establishing an Asgradian headed puppet goverment which put an end to Asgradian terrorist attacks and almost all confilct with Asgradia ended.

Fall of Silvasnia

Following this another several years passed and while things were going extremely well in Gataway both economically and socially the opposite was true in Gataway's uneasy neighbor Silvasnia where the citizens suffered under the rule of a tyrant dictator. Under this rule many silvasnians began fleeing into Gataway to escape oppression or find work and better their lives. It was also during this time that a number of Silvasnian ranking officals entered secret negotiations with Gataway, these meetings eventually led to a Gatawan supported coup in 195 A.I. and following this coupe under the pretext of wanting to maintain peace Gatawan forces effectively invaded Silvasnia and again established a puppet but Silvasnian headed goverment to calm the Silvasnian people and lessen the chances of rebellion against the new pro-Gatawan government.

Civil War and the fall of a republic In 259 A.I. the Gatawan republic fell due to years of corruption and lies from the senators, supreme general Yakkov Melech Nadov led an open rebellion and was leader of the Gatawan Socalist Army who for ten years fought a bloody civil war against the pro-republic forces eventually defeating them at the battle of Hiljat and declaring himself supreme emperor of Gataway. Although after several years of rule Nadov allowed the formation of a supreme council of elected represenatives from the colonies of Asgradia and Silvasnia as well as members from Gataway, however the council's power is very limited and all of their legislation requires final approval from the Emperor himself.
