The History of SeOCC
The first known inhabitants of the area that became SeOCC were Aperins who set up small fishing villages around 500 BCE. Rougly 50 CE, western Aperin suffered a critical famine that, archeological evidence suggests, was the result of a 100 year climate shift that diverted moisture bearing winds towards the south, denying the mountainous ranges of the Aperins rain their crops depended upon. During this time, the fishing villages thrived, as their food supply was not so affected by the lack of rain, and soon the villages became moderate sized cities.
The real change, though, came during hte 17th century, when Rigan settlers arrived in western Aperin; the Rigans settled, most often by force, the land west of the mountain ranges that ran north and south through northern Aperin; this resulted in either the extinction of many of these cities or their conversion from simple fishing villages into hubs for Rigan vessels bringing supplies to move inland. As the Rigan settlements began shipping goods home, these cities became trade centers, largely due to their stragetic location between the two major Rigan settlements and on the eastern edge of the Orcas Sound.
By 1800, stable nation states had begun to form, and the territory that would becomer SeOCC was split between Terronos and Helios. The area continued to be an important center for trade, housing the major ports of Terronos and Helios, Sequilla and Olympic respectively. Through these ports all goods going inland moved; the northern territory of Svea Riga was bordered on the eats by impassable mountains, and their southern territories were too distant from the Aperin cites in the center of the continent. Major trading houses emerged in Sequilla and Olympic, and by 1850 capitalist industries were emerging in Svea Riga, Helios and Terronos. The volume of goods flowing in and out of Sequilla and Olympic increased exponentially, and was further enhanced with the formation of the Coal Cartel, which joined eight of the ten largest coal reserves into one multinational trust.
The outbreak of the Great Aperin War slowed trade volume, but the formation of the Federal Republic of Aperin in 1932 ushered in a new era of economic cooperation between western Aperin nations, and this applied to the twin cities of Sequilla and Olympic as well.
