History
Ancient New Genoa Island (called Ethericos by its inhabitants) was populated by a myriad of quarreling tribes, divided into six culture sets: the Eastern Tribes of Ethericos, the Western Tribes of Ethericos, the Lake Peoples of Ethericos, the Kallite state of Ethericos, the Tropic Tribes of Genoa Island, and the Blainon peoples of Blaine Island. Out of these many cultures, the Kallite state was the only true nation to emerge and form a civilized and highly developed nation. The Kallite state existed from about 200 BCE until its destruction in 1519 CE by Italian explorers, namely the Genoans.
Once Italian explorers from the various small city-states of Italy arrived in New Genoa, headed by Alfonso Lombardi, and defeated the Kallites, various colonies along the coastline were established. By the 1600s CE, several hundred colonies (many city-states owned multiple territories) were scattered along a now densley populated coastline, the most populated around the city of New Genoa, which served as the former capital of Kallium, Kallium [city]. By the 1650s CE, many of these colonies had declared independence formally or informally as their mother nations struggled to maintain contact with their colonies. By the time the Pacificans arrived to colonize New Genoa, most colonies were operating as independent states. The result, however, of Italian colonization led to the introduction of Italian culture, language, and diseases that mixed with the tribal and Kallite peoples of ancient Ethericos.
