Nectarous, officially the Republic of Nectarous consists of the island of Nectarous(the largest of the two islands), and the Isle of Rebek.
History
The earliest record of human activity in Nectarous dates back to over 50,000 years ago. Stone Age hunter-gatherers eventually gave way to farmers and permanent settlements, with advanced megalithic cultures arising in western Nectarous some 4,000 years ago. even at this early date, the island was part of a large trading network Gradually, recognisable states formed and began to merge with one another. Around 1281 one king, had effective control of all or most of Nectarous; although it is impossible to identify the precise moment when the Kingdom of Nectarous was unified. The title "King of Nectarous" was first adopted in 1323 During the 1700's an increasing number of the population were becoming unhappy with the monarchy due to the high taxes and poverty that was sweeping the nation The failure of reforms and suppression of the growing liberal intelligentsia were continuing problems and the deterioration of the economy led to widespread rioting in the major cities of the Nectarous. In 1785 civil war started and continued until 1789 when the monarchy was overthrown and the country became a republic, with the first President taking office on 10th March 1789 Nectarous has maintained a liberal democratic political system since it adopted its constitution. The Republic of Nectarous saw a great time of expansion and development Nectarous became a wealthy state, due chiefly to its dominance in the ship building market.
Nectarous military and economic stature increased throughout the 20th century.
