Ceylonia: Difference between revisions

}}

Throughout its history, Ceylonia's governance was mostly at the helm of other, much more powerful nations. During the 6th to 13th centuries, Ceylonia was a colony of the [[Tierrador#Qabóri Woqalate|Qabóri Woqalate]], being [[Conquest of Yapokee (677 AD)|conquered in 677 AD]]. This time was relatively unstable for the colony, as the majority of the Ceylon people rejected the Qabóri government's policies. In 1411, members from the Yapokee tribe revolted against Qabór, beginning the [[Yapokee Wars]], which lasted for nearly sixty years. In 1468, the colony was granted its independence from Qabór, under the condition that it become a vassal state, thus creating the Woqalate of Yapokee. The newly-founded vassal state was much more stable and technologically-advanced than the colony, taking a lot of political and economic influence from its former colonial power. The Woqalate lasted for 200 years, until the arrival of [[Sarpedon|Sarpedonian settlers]] in the late 1600s. In 1693, Cartadanian settlers established the port city of [[Riachal]] at the southernmost tip of the southern peninsula, establishing the second permanent Cartadanian settlement in Crona. By 1697, Riachal was expanded to encompass a greater area, stretching roughly to the top of the Baía dos Cocos. While Cartadanians had largely assimilated with the local Ceylon population in the south, those in the northern city of Antakee, a much more industrialized zone, were treated much more inhumanely. This led to a conflict between the beliefs of those in the south and those of the north. In 1698, when mainland Cartadania underwent the [[Ano Vermelho]] and deported many of its elite to Antakee in an aggressive change in power, the federal government sought to restructure its outlying territories alongside its grasp of power over domestic and metropolitan regions as well. In 1701, just nine years before legal and judicial changes shifted operations of the federal government to newly-established [[Alahuela]], Ceylonia officially became a colony of the republic. Antakee at the time had largely been subjected to raids by both Cartadanians and Ceylonians alike, attempting to displace the other in power. In 1704, the [[Cartadanian National Congress|44th Cartadanian National Congress]] was able to exert influence over the northern regions of Ceylonia enough to consolidate power and unite the colonies far-flung cities into a single entity, known as the Território do Ceilão (Ceylon Territory). This era was somewhat short-lived, however, as the Cartadanian National Congress would grant Ceylonia its independence in 1813 following intense pressure from the Qabóri government.
