It is neighbored by [[Equatorial Ostiecia]] and [[Vespera]]. The country originated as a borderland province of [[Oustec]], a pirate state in northern Vallos who thrived at interdicting Occidental trade between the 16th and 18th century. In the early 1700s, Oustec experienced a period of decline in the face of continued [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] military success, and Arona began to become culturally distinct due to its land military orientation. In the 1850s, Oustec was invaded and subsequently partitioned during the [[Odurian War]], and as part of the conflict Arona declared its independence with assistance from [[Urcea]]. Since then, Arona has maintained an official agreement of protection with Urcea, and during that period the country has become increasingly influenced by both the Urcean culture and economy. | ||
