===Early history===

===Northern Confederation===

Very little is known of early human history in the northernmost parts of [[Cusinaut]] due to a lack of written sources and a conflicting archaeological record. Due to its relatively northern position, modern Caracua was probably among the last places to be settled by sedentary, agricultural peoples in [[Cusinaut]], though it was certainly well-traveled by nomadic hunters not long after the first arrival of humans in [[Crona]]. Up through the medieval period, few agricultural settlements formed in the region, though rising temperatures in that era inaugurated a flood of settlers from the south which formed the progenitors of most of the Great Nations of Caracua as they exist today.

===Northern Confederation and collapse===

The threat of the [[Occident]] to [[Crona]] became increasingly known to the people of Cusinaut by the 17th century, when Occidental raiders and traders from the south would regularly cause devastation across the southern tip of Cusinaut and also from [[Thýstara]] to the northwest. The relatively remote location of the northern peoples of Cusinaut largely shielded them from Occidental interaction, and as a result few joined the [[Northern Confederation]] upon its establishment in [[1660]]. However, Thýstara's rapid growth precipitated a wave of new members to the Confederation from modern Caracua, a process which was complete by [[1720]] in including all fourteen of the Great Nations. From then on, modern Caracua was solidly part of the Northern Confederation, and would be subject to both its highs and lows as well as its ultimate decline.

~~===War~~ of the ~~Northern~~ Confederation~~===~~

The western Northern Confederation, which largely coincides with modern Caracua, was generally seen by its other members to be a backwater. The territory benefitted little from the profitable [[Nysdra Sea]] trade, and accordingly not only was economic growth slow in the area but also the exchange of ideas and technology. The west was among the slowest to embrace the many reforms that occured throughout the centuries, actively opposing many of them in the National Conference. It only began to modernize following the creation of the Union Directorate emergency government after [[1883]]. During this period, the west began to be known collectively as "Caracua". Despite efforts by the new central government to modernize Caracua, it still lagged behind the rest of the Confederation, being last to fully monetize and adopt the [[wísdat]] currency, only completing the full measure of the reform by [[1910]]. Caracua grew significantly over the course of the 20th century, becoming a relative peer to some of the poorer eastern Confederation members. Throughout the history of the Confederation, the fourteen Great Nations shared significant solidarity in being "backwaters" opposed by the more robust eastern powers, not only binding them to the Confederation as a whole but binding them more closely together as a shared political, economic, and social entity.

~~===Algosh Conquest~~ and ~~Occupation===~~

~~{{Main|Algosh coup}}~~

By the late 20th century the Confederation was spiraling towards disintegration. Internal disputes and violent blood feuds dissolved the internal peace of the Confederation, inviting outside intervention by [[Urcea]] in the [[War of the Northern Confederation]]. As the Confederation sped towards collapse, it was overthrown by the predominantly Algosh military of the Confederation in the [[Algosh coup]] in [[2009]]. For the next decade and a half, the Great Nations as well as the peripheral peoples of the northwest were subject to [[Algoquona]], seeing their rights and territory gradually dwindle to the benefit of the Algosh ruling class.

===Final War of the Deluge===

As the war progressed, various opposition elements within Caracua formed the Western Revolutionary Popular Reclamation Council. The Council, officially proclaimed in January [[2023]], was an alliance of resistance cells supported by the [[Occident]], revolutionary socialists, M'acunist traditionalists, and other elements who opposed Algosh domination. From then on, the Council assumed leadership of popular resistance to the Algosh-dominated government, directing sabotage campaigns while providing intelligence to both the [[Faneria]]n and [[Urcea]]n armed forces.
