The Republic of Kelse or Kelse, French: La République de Kelcia or Kelcia, is a very large, socially progressive nation located in the International Democratic Union. A member of the United Nations, Kelse is largely democratic and it's citizens, descendents of French sailors and explorers, are seen as very liberal people. The capital and largest city is Saint-Monica, while it's two principal economic centres are located at the port cities of Ajaccio and Villeneuve.
History
Native History
Kelsian History began with the settling of northern Kelse at Saint-Hélène near Rhôné by the Noato Tribe in 1432. The Noato's, similiar in appearance to the Maori, began settling the region around Rhôné, building the ancient cities of Seato and Soratoga. After establishing a thriving economy and government, the Noato's pushed out to sea and built the port city of Notoa. Once trade opened up in Notoa, the Noato's thrived.
European Settlement
In 1652, French sailor Jacques Ajaccio, his wife, and a crew of around thirty others landed at Nouveau Point, near modern-day Ajaccio. The crew soon came into contact with the Noato's, who welcomed them and brought them to Notoa. Although unable to communicate, the crew managed to bring back several important Noato tribesmen to France, and within ten years they were back at Notoa with fluency in French. By 1680 there was a French population of almost 300 in Noato, and by then thousands of Noatans had become fluent in the French language. As the years past, Noatans fluent in French and the French population had almost tripled.
In 1882, Kelse, than Ajaccio, was annexed by France and made into a colony of the empire. The French moved in and built a naval port at Villeneuve, and as most of the Noatan Nation had not been affected by it, the French were meet by no resistance. French trading ships soon moved into Notoa, and equal trading agreements were signed by both sides. By 1890, Notoa was thriving and the Noatans had set up it's own form of local government as the French didn't enforce it's colonial government and power.
French-Noato Conflict
After realizing the amount of wealth that France could've attained from their Ajaccio Colony, the French navy stationed at Villeneuve moved into Notoa and forced King Aleo of the Noatan Nation to sign the Treaty of Rhôné, which gave the French exclusive trading rights into Seato and Soratoga, along with extraterritoriality to French citizens in Ajaccio. French businesses moved into Ajaccio and began rapidly modernizing the country through industrialization. Many native's had been forced into factories to work for very low wages, and as a result, the Notoan Majority had become very poor. When King Aleo spoke up, he was overthrown by French businessman Jacques Delacroix, who became the Colonial Governer. Fed up, the Noatans along with a large portion of the French population who had lived in Ajaccio before the Treaty, met in the small coastal town of Saint-Monica. At the end of the meeting, on March 7, 1907, the Colony of Ajaccio declared war on France.
The next day, the French navy at Villeneuve was deployed to sack the city of Notoa..
