The Netanic people trace their ancestry to some of the earliest prehistoric settlers in Cusinaut from [[Alshar]], with some of the oldest archaeological sites on the subcontinent appearing within Netansett territory. A cohesive Netanic culture began to emerge with the advent and spread of writing during the early medieval period, with a unified Netanic monarchy emerging by the 1400s. Netanic writing and language differentiates sharply from that of the rest of Cusinaut, whose writing and language is inspired by cross-[[Nysdra]] cultural exchange with [[Varshan]] and other places. As an isolationist society, the Netanic people fought to keep their borders closed to both their neighbors and the [[Occident]], resulting in a series of brutal wars with the [[Algosh people]] and later [[Northern Confederation]].

In the early modern period, [[Kiravia]] militarily subjugated the Netanic state but did not establish economic overlordship or settler colonies beyond the immediate coastal littral, which became [[Porfiria]]; accordingly, the arrival of the colonial era changed very little beyond becoming part of Porfírian colonial claims. In the place of the old monarchy, the eight social tribes established the Hukon League, which eventually became the official representative of indigenous people in the territory claimed by Kiravia; it concluded the Treaty of Vittēmur in [[1773]], which created a line beyond which [[Occidental]]s could not settle. The Vittēmur line eventually became a jurisdictional boundary between the colonial Porfírian government and the Hukon League, and today forms Netansett's southern border. During the 19th century, the Hukon League would begin social and political integration of its various constituent elements while also gradually gaining further autonomy from the Porfírian colonial government.

In the 18th century, the Netanic people began to grow {{wp|tobacco}}, {{wp|indigo}}, and other cash crops originally present in the [[Occident]], remaining mostly isolated but funding the state and small economy with highly controlled cash crop exports. This era of Netansett is known primarily as the "export society", wherein the Netanic people managed to maintain independence by becoming a reliable provider of goods to the global market; in turn, the society and state gradually transformed to support this economic model. In the 19th century, the pre-modern Netanic confederated state was reformed into a centralized state. The Netanic people voluntarily opted to put an end to their long-time isolationism and joined the [[League of Nations]] in the 1950s.

===Hukon League===
===Hukon League===
The destruction and disintegration of the Netanic League in the mid-18th Century splintered the twelve former member tribes, who all sought divergent interests under their new Kiravian overlords while at the same time vying for the favor of said overlords in hopes of attaining some sort of influence over the other tribes. Eventually, four of the twelve tribes would find themselves becoming direct subjects of the Kiravian colony of Porfiria through land seizures in the coastal littoral; these four tribes would be disintegrated as a result, thus leaving eight extant tribes. After about a decade or two of economic and military power struggles in the hinterlands of Porfiria, the eight remaining tribes, under the mediation of Porfirian colonists, signed the [[Treaty of Hukon]], named after the village in which it was signed, thus forming the [[Hukon League]]. The Hukon League was established to serve as a means to represent the extant indigenous tribes in Porfiria and as a way for the colony to effectively influence the tribes without shedding further blood. This allowed for the nascent indigenous planter aristocracy to retain immense power and privileges in exchange for paying a {{wp|flat tax}} to the Porfirian colonial government to contribute to the overall prosperity of Kiravia.

A further treaty, the [[Treaty of Vittēmur]], was signed in 1773 and established the Vittēmur line which forbade non-indigenous people from settling in indigenous territory, thus recognizing the Hukon League as a separate entity within Porfiria.


===Independence===
===Independence===
Throughout the rest of the 18th Century and up until 1840, the Hukon League provided a stabilizing presence for the remaining eight Netanic tribes, allowing them to rekindle inter-tribal friendships and unite so as to potentially avoid the fates that the lost four tribes have met. Indeed, it was during the years of the Hukon League that a distinct and unified Netanic identity would emerge, combining various cultural aspects of the eight tribe as well as the spoken tongues and written languages of said tribes. The resulting standardized Netanic language, [[Quonish language|Quonish]], was created in 1812 to be the unified language of the Netanic peoples in both spoken and written language, and it became one of the major catalysts behind [[Netanic nationalism]]. It was also around this time when the Hukon League began to request autonomy from the colonial government of Porfiria as well as consolidating the eight member tribes of the League into a more centralized form of government in great contrast to the confederated governments of both the early years of the League and the previous Netanic League from before. In the late 1830s, the Hukon League soon began to negotiate with the colonial government about the possibility of securing independence. Through compromises and various deals between colonial and indigenous elites, the Hukon League was soon transformed into the independent Dominion of Huconia.
