Origins
The origins of a unified Velkya can be traced to the Ice Ages, when much of the surrounding area was dry land, allowing myriad tribes of nomadic hunter gatherers to reach and eventually setttle the south of the country in what is what the modern day state of Palasisa. The temperate, balanced climate encouraged the growing of crops, and by 9,300 B.C., early native settlements stretched across the future territories of Palasia, Atlantia, Augusta, and Julios.
The mountanious nature of the Velkyan subcontinent prevented widespread settling of the northern territories, and the populations of the south slowly confederated into two identifiable nations. The first, centered around the port city that would eventually become Palais, named the Palasian Empire by later historians, controlled much of the water traffic off the western coast of the southern Velkyan pennisula with it's large navy. It also controlled limited settlements on the Atlantian coast, although these would later be absorbed into the Julian Republic, the second of the factions. The annexation of these cities sparked a series of wars between the two opposing powers, called the Blue Coast Wars, which lasted almost three hundred years.
