History
[edit] The Unification of Amateria (1000-1290)
The unification of the central province of Egelion is related in the Romance of the Five Kingdoms.
[edit] Eder Gira's History (50-1606)
The (almost) full review of Eder Gira's History can be accesed from here: Ancient Eder Gira
[edit] The Road to Unification (1585-1600)
During the years of 1585-1600 the lands of Amateria and Dul Kinea signed a series of long-term treaties that ended in the unification of the 2 territories into the nation of Egalion. Eder Gira was integrated into Egalion peacefully in 1606. Ghadrash also was incorporated peacefully in Egalion in 1610.
The government of Caille would refuse to join Egalion peacefully. In the face of Caille opposition, Egalion would incite three rebellions (1625-1678) within Caille to destabalize the Caillean government. Following the civil wars, Caille would rightly blame Egalion for the insurrections and war would be fought. By 1700, Caille would be conqured by Egalion and its government replaced with pro-Egalion supporters.
With the help of the government created in the Caille conflict, the last of the 5 territories was integrated into Egalion and the name was changed for Egelion, to make the idea of a new nation created from scratch with no previous conflicts.
In 1722, the nation of Egelion had been born.
[edit] Monarchy to Democracy
The monarchy and noble class ruled Egelion from its conception till the Second Egelion Civil War (2023-2057), called the Liberation War.
The Liberation war was fought between the factions of the Republicans and the Monarchists. The Republicans tried to turn Egelion into democracy and the Monarchists tried to keep the king George XI as the head of state. Neither side won as the king died without a heir.
Following the Liberation War, the treaty of Libertaria was signed and a new government, the Commonwealth of Egelion, was instigated. The government of the Commonwealth would rule for three years before holding elctions for Egelion's first democratic government.
[edit] Democracy
The government of the Commonwealth ended in 2111 as the first real democratic government of Egelion was elected. The nation of Egelion would remain openly democratic until the present day. Although, the nature of this democracy would change over time.
The democratic government established in 211 would undergo three name changes within the next 69 years. The name changes had little to do with political change and more to do with whim and bureaucracy. From 2111 to 2154, the nation would be called the Democratic Commonwealth of Egelion. From 2154 to 2180, the nation's name would revert back to the Commonwealth of Egelion. Then in 2189, Egelion would be renamed the Republic of Egelion.
[edit] The Republics of Egelion
Following the renaming of 2189 that established the Republic of Egelion, the nation would undergo several eras.
The First Republic of Egelion would last 114 years from 2189 to 2303.
The Second Republic of Egelion would last 67 years from 2303 to 2370. Egelion, at this time, would be ruled by a socialist government.
The Third Republic of Egelion would last 24 years from 2370 to 2394. During this period, the nation would be controlled by the major southern ethnicity of Amateria, Ghadrash, and Dul Kinea. The nation's name would also be changed to reflect this cultural shift, becoming the Republica de Egelion.
The Fourth Republic of Egelion lasted 28 years from 2384 to 2422. This era would also be heralded by a name change, the nation coming to be known as the People's Republic of Egelion. The Fourth Republic would be, like the Second Republic, characterized by socialists in power. Notable here is that at this point Egelion would birth the (in)famous Karissian Central Communist Party (KCCP).
The Fifth Republic of Egelion lasted 268 years from 2422 to 2700. It was the most stable period in Egelion's history and was eventually overthrown by the brief Egelion Regency.
[edit] Egelion Regency
Egelion Regency was the brief regime lasting 13 years from 2700 to 2713. Short lived, it was soon replaced by the Családi Nemzet Egelion in 2713.
[edit] Return to a Republic
The Sixth Republic of Egelion lasted 51 years from 2713 to 2764. Named the Családi Nemzet Egelion, it was created after the Hungarian minority of the nation took conrol of Egelion via various pro-business parties.
The Seventh Republic of Egelion was formed in 2764. The Seventh Republic, the Republic of Egelion has been dominated by extended periods of party dynasties. Firstly, the United National Egelion Front ruled for 10 out of 12 years between 2768-2786. The Polaris Party ruled continuously from 2790-2811. The Egelion People's Party (formerly Social Liberal Alliance) has ruled continuously from 2811-2847. While maintaining the presidency, the party chose to move into the opposition rather than form a coalition in 2847. A brief coalition government between left and right was after 2850 replaced with a leftist coalition that have ruled Egelion together in the absense of a single strong party.
The Eigth Egelion Republic was formed in 2873. Following the Egelion-UKSR War, Egelion restructured itself and was renamed the Federal Republic of Egelion.
[edit] Communist Rebellion and the UKSR
A resurgent KCCP would, by 2851, take control of Nou Endralon, Dolgaria and Trigunia, forming the United Keris Socialist Republic. Egelion was able to withstand pressure by the UKSR until October 2856 when the Caille-based communist militant group Caille Byltingarkenndur Vörður (Caille Revolutionary Guard) attacked Nordland and Northmoor. While the Northmoor attack was minor and quickly stopped, the attack in Nordland led to the bombing of SDLP headquaters, the death of Prime Minister Franklin Smith and the seizing of Callean governmental institutions. The CRG declared an independant Caillean socialist state, the Lýðveldið Sosialism Caille (Socialist Republic of Caille). The UKSR immediately declared recognition and support of the new Caillean government, putting it at odds with the Republic of Egelion.

[edit] Famous Landmarks
Grand Bastille
The Grand Bastille is a massive defensive wall and ditch project that extends over the entirety of Egelion's land border. The wall is primarily comprised of a five sectional fortification (see Grand Bastille for more information). Along the Bastille are several military posts.
Travel to and through the Bastille is allowed through several bridge stations and five main rail hubs that connect to the Web.
The Moratorium
The Moratorium is the largest prison in Egelion. It is run by Egelion's federal government. Since the allowance of prisoners to choose to participate in medical studies the Moratorium has become one of Egelion's primary medical research facilities.
Sunlilies
The lands of the Republic of Egelion has been hisorically rich in oil and coal. However, over the centuries, several of the larger ocean oil rigs have run dry. Rather than let these structures rust to ruin, the government of Egelion with the cooperation of private energy companies have transformed the abandonned rigs into solar power stations. Most of these stations also include an oceanographic research station.
The Web
A massive rail system, the Web is Egelion's primary means of mass transportation. The Web criss-crosses much of the nation, connecting to urban and rural areas of all kinds.
