History

2000 BC Angjelz is founded by a Hindu priest who was told by an angel, or in in old spelling, an angjel. Population of Tabuu: 700 thousand.

1989 BC Jiqal, a powerful ex-Hindu priest takes up power and with his army incorporates most of Tabuu, and neighboring nations into the The Empire of Jiq. Capital of the empire is the city of Lostego

1357 BC The height of the Empire of Jiq. Encompasses 2 million kilometers and 5 million people. The capital is beautiful, with waterways, a large market, and an amphitheater. The population of the city is 200 thousand.

1339 BC An uprising in the area currently known as former Aldania, causes a 3 year war, to keep the empire alive. The separatists win, and and start the Hathean Empire.

1250 BC More, smaller wars are fought to keep the rest of the empire together but the empire falls apart. The Hathean Empire also falls. Lostego is abandoned. The city-states of Angjelz, Goa, Kashmir, Zagor (the former name of Bombay), and Tirana develop.

1000 BC All the city states fight and quarrel, each with their own sultan, and their own army.

978 BC A tsunami wipes out the cities of Zagor, and Angjelz. They are quickly rebuilt. Population of each city-state: Angjelz- 200 thousand Zagor- 500 thousand Goa- 200 thousand Kashmir- 500 thousand Rangpur- 500 thousand Tirana- 200 thousand

736 BC The city-states of Goa and Kashmir make an agreement and form the 1rst Kash-Goan Empire. With double the army, they take over southern Tabuu, and the city-state of Zagor.

701 BC Seeing how well the Kash-Goan alliance worked out, the city-states of Angjelz and Rangpur work out a similar agreement, and take over north-east Tabuu, becoming the Holy Royal Empire.

478 BC After continuous fighting, the 1st Kash-Goan Empire and the Holy Royal Empire work out a peace treaty.

367 BC The peace treaty worked out for about 115 years, but the two countries seemed to enjoy attacking each other, so they burned the treaty, and started the Century's War.

262 BC The Century’s War was 100 years of fighting between the two countries. It ended at the Siege of Kashmir. The Kash-Goan Empire fell. It became known as the Holy Royal Empire, along with the rest of Tabuu. The capital of the empire became Angjelz. Population of Tabuu: 7 million.

0 The dawn of a new millennium was a time of celebration throughout the empire. Tabuu was united for over 250 years, something many had thought impossible.

375 Five hundred years of peace in Tabuu was a blessing, but it couldn’t last. A revolt in Kashmir, and southern Tabuu, caused a civil war. It lasted 2 years. Southern Tabuu was just too far from the capital. It became the 2nd Kash-Goan Empire.

459 Another war erupted between the Kash-Goan Empire and the Holy Royal Empire. This time the Kash-Goan Empire started it. The war lasted 13 years. Finally, the Holy Royal Empire fell. But strangely the Kash-Goan Empire didn’t take over their country. Instead they “left it to rot”.

559 What’s left of the Holy Royal Empire reunites itself and renames the country the Sultanate of Tabuu.

892 Four hundred years of peace between Tabuu, and Kash-Goa.

1238 Seven hundreds years of peace. Surprisingly, the Kash-Goan Empire and the Sultanate of Tabuu form a treaty and merge forming the new Sultanate of Tabuu. Population of Tabuu: 15 million.

1602 The first Portuguese explorer lands in southern Tabuu. Population of Tabuu: 25 million

1613 More Portuguese ships arrive bringing families, missionaries, and soldiers. Tabuu trades with the Portuguese.

1655 More Portuguese ships come and so do the first English ships, which land in northern Tabuu.

1698 Even more Portuguese and English ships come, bringing even more people to Tabuu.

1707 Portugal and England dismantle the sultanate, and the sultan and his family fled Angjelz for a hideout in the rainforest where they lived modestly for 50 years. Southern Tabuu is now Portuguese Tabuu, while northeastern Tabuu is turned into the Commonwealth of Bombay.

1755 The capital of the Portuguese Empire, Lisbon is hit by a crippling tsunami. Portuguese Tabuu takes this chance to throw off Portuguese rule. They win and rename themselves the Sultanate of Lower Tabuu and the sultan and his family come out of hiding and establish the capital in Janeiro.

1949 It remained that until 1949, when England gave up The Commonwealth of Bombay and Tabuu was finally reunited after practically 200 years. The capital was was moved back to the original capital, Angjelz and though the English and Portuguese left, their influence is still there. Population of Tabuu: 70 million.

1969 Tabuu annexes war-torn Aldania. Population of all of Tabuu: 100 million.
