The first evidence of civilization in the territory that makes up modern day Puertego has been dated back to the ~~14th~~ century BC when the first Puertegan natives settled the regions first towns, Puertegan native society was primarily based on subsistence agriculture with food such as corn and potatoes though they also showed signs of growth after their civilizations were thought to have discovered irrigation with evidence of early currency and organized religion with various effigies found around certain sites though they have never had any signs of a written language at this point. Ancient Puertego was made up of several dozen native tribes but there were 4 main ones that inhabited the countries modern day borders with the first evidence of cities in the region being found around ~~8000~~ BC with it being built around modern day San Lina, being the first to build such a thing in the region provided a large benefit to the Utanah civilization with them using the ~~cities~~ economic and military advantages to conquer their neighboring tribes until their eventual collapse at which point one of the civilizations they conquered rose up and took San Lina from them repeating the cycle until eventually the first empire Puertego had seen ~~rose~~ up in 510 BC conquering all of the modern day territory.

The Nokotan empire ruled over the area of modern Puertego starting from 510 and operated as a theocracy for the empire's religion, they were primarily a land focused empire though they began to focus more on the sea as time progressed and their capacity for ship building increased with a distinct merchant class forming in the empire due to this and the empire colonizing three of the islands closest to them. The merchants in the empire were the first to discover the First Imperium of Caphiria and began trading with them for almost 100 years, however all this came to an end in 854 where according to official records a sugar merchant in Nokotan got into an argument with a Caphirian merchant over the price of his goods that ended with the Caphirian merchant being stabbed to death, Caphiria demanded Nokotan hand over the merchant who did this but they refused leading to an all-out war between the two powers which ended with Nokotan being conquered by Caphiria along with the capital being sacked and the country gaining the name Puerto Negro from anti-slavery advocates in Caphiria. The Latin conquest of the area came with severe social and political upheaval for the country with cultural shock in regard to things such as traditions and language which started being forced onto the population of the region, their political system was also turned over as the previous theocracy was dismantled and an upper class of landowners took the place of the church in society and made use of the newly abundant source of slaves made available. This system of rule by Caphiria only lasted for around 40 years with the collapse of the empire allowing Puertego to break away from it in multiple small states which fought with and raided each other for decades, the region was conquered once again by Caphiria during the rule of the third imperium which almost completely washed away the old religion and instilled deeply traditional Catholicism into the population which made them very prone to reacting harshly during the Great Schism with Puertegans starting lynch mobs and burning down churches from the Church of Caphiria enough to provoke a military crackdown from the empire starting a war between the two entities which ended with Puertego gaining its independence from Caphiria in 1616 only to almost immediately get conquered by Pelaxia.
