GEOGRAPHY
Grischun is divided in four main regions. The first 3 are the historical 3 Leagues of Grischun: the Grey League, the Ten-Juridictions League, and the Maisondieu League. The fourth is Valtellina, a former italian region which joined Grischun some centuries later.
HISTORY
During the 15th century, the territories that would become Grischun were under Austrian-Christian Empire domination, but in the mountains and valleys, 3 men met secretly and promised to kick out the Austrians. They founded the 3 Leagues of Grischun, and swore to defend Liberty and Independance. Soon after, war was declared on Grischun by the Austrians and their ally Spain. There were lots of battles, and tragedies. The people of Grischun eventually won, knowing better than anybody the secrets of their landscapes, launching rapid guerilla-like strikes on the much largest armies of Austrian Empire and Spain. Grischun got independent, by will and by force. Remembering the atrocities committed especially by the very-catholic spanish army, a tradition of anticlericalism and atheism started in Grischun, that would last until now.
