=== Cartadanian colonization ===

=== Ceylon Peace Accord and Independence ===

The Ceylon Peace Accord was ratified by the Cartadanian National Congress on July 17, 1813, officially granting Ceylonia its independence. [[Antonio Vargas]], the revolutionary leader for the country, was appointed as the first President of Ceylonia. The first decade of Ceylonia’s independence was mostly marred with the fear of invasion from Tierrador under Aphío Kostari. The country’s neighbor was entering the final stages of the [[Takosenic Wars]], with increased aggression following their decisive victory in the [[Western Egg Wars]]. Because of this, the government of Ceylonia began to enact reforms towards the country’s militia, which included authorizing mandatory military conscription in 1816, purchasing used weaponry from the Cartadanian Armed Forces, and hosting military training exercises with foreign powers, including Caphiria and Kiravia. While the fear of the nation’s fledgling sovereignty grew, Vargas emphasized Ceylonia’s preparedness for such a conflict if it were to occur. Elsewhere in the country, there was the rise of demand for tribal sovereignty to go with the country’s general sovereignty. The Lusophonic colonial and post-colonial governments had been harshly suppressing the indigenous population, despite them making up the majority of Ceylonia’s demographics. In 1819, the [[New Yapokee Movement]] was created by tribesmen in the northeast, pushing for the reinstatement of the Yapokee Woqalate, instead of the already-implemented pro-Cartadanian government. The NYM was sympathetic towards Kostaric Tierrador, and even offered to send militiamen to assist the Qabóri Army against the Western Commonwealths. The NYM would spark a period of domestic unrest throughout the northern provinces of the nation.

Much to the relief of the Ceylonian government, the Takosenic Wars would come to an end in 1823, before any advance from Qabór could be made against Ceylonia, allowing the country’s government to begin allocating its resources towards domestic troubles, such as the aforementioned New Yapokee Movement. Due to his declining health, Antonio Vargas would retire from his position as Ceylonia’s first president in 1833. He would be replaced by [[Victor Rodriguez]], who was regarded by his peers as a much weaker leader. Despite said opinions of him, Rodriguez would bring true democracy to the country by implementing quinquennial free presidential elections starting in 1835. Despite this, only ethnic Sarpedonians were allowed to vote in these elections, angering all of the indigenous communities. Rodriguez’s term as president would end by 1845, when he was replaced by Daniél Chavez in the 1845 election. By the 1850s, under Chavez, the NYM would spread to all of western Ceylonia, and the approval ratings for the already unpopular new president had dropped significantly. Chavez blamed the people’s discontent on the coercion from the NYM, claiming their intent was to reform Ceylonia back to a Qabóri puppet state, with the interest of only a few select groups taken into account, rather than the entire population. Despite this, the majority-indigenous communities still held a large grudge against the Lusophonic regime, and sought to take it down.

=== Ceylon Civil War ===

The increased tensions between the New Yapokee Movement and the Ceylon government would escalate to full on skirmishes in Ceylonian cities. The Tierradorian government, now more stable after the House of Woqelee took power, became more sympathetic towards the NYM rather than the Ceylon government, which dealt a massive blow to the government.
