History of Billopesha

Billopesha was established as a state in 563BC, when the Billopec Family discovered the islands of The Confederates in Rineu. It originally expanded to cover all of the islands but gradually was split up into smaller nations during the Hontopeshian Revolution and the Confederate Revolution. The nation formed an empire in the form of the Billopeshian Empire which expanded into Mainland Rineu and Europe, also being subjected to Roman rule twice. It was followed by a Dark Age but created another empire in the form of the Holy Empire of the Billopeshians that expanded into Asia. The nation then engaged in an era of Enlightenment and civil conflict before the 20th Century. Billopesha took part in World War II on the side of the Allies, being most prominent in the North African and Italian Campaigns. Billopesha has had a long rivalry with its neighbouring country, Hontock, with who has had two major wars, one in recent times. The Kingdom of Billopesha became the Democratic Republic of Billopesha in November 2005 following the Political War of 2005.
