It has been generally accepted that the first inhabitants of the [[Alstinian Isles]] migrated from mainland Crona and East Audonia arrived at least 3,000 years ago; however, some evidence suggests an even earlier date of arrival. Over time, indigenous cultures in Crona grew increasingly complex, and some, such as the pre-Levantine [[Orix people#Azure]] culture in modern-day [[Azura]], developed advanced agriculture, architecture, and complex societies. The city of [[Cuzco (City)|Cuzco]] is the largest, most complex pre-Levantine archaeological site in Alstin, and is the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in the modern-day United Republic. In the Kjeldorian Highlands region, the [[Orix people#Kjeld]] culture practiced hunting and trapping, along with limited cultivation. The Uto, located in modern-day [[Utopia]], practiced fishing and whaling. | It has been generally accepted that the first inhabitants of the [[Alstinian Isles]] migrated from mainland Crona and East Audonia arrived at least 3,000 years ago; however, some evidence suggests an even earlier date of arrival.

By | By 1700, the country had fully recovered from the Civil War and had successfully transitioned from Kingdom to Republic. With this, the United Republic fully resumed its involvement in international affairs, and began engaging in territorial acquisitions beyond the [[Inner Islands]]. Starting in 1705, the United Republic, through various methods, steadily expanded throughout the remaining Isles, establishing new settlements as well incorporating preexisting ones across what was then collectively referred the "Frontier Territories", nowadays officially called the "[[Outer Islands]]"; By 1815, the entirety of the "Frontier" was under the complete jurisdiction the United Republic. | ||
Overseas, the United Republic began exerting its influence at first indirectly through intermediaries, most notably via the [[Alstinian Trade Company]], then later directly via diplomacy, trade, and military action. An early example of the latter being the United Republic's longstanding influence on [[Tierrador]] beginning in the wake of the [[ Revolution of 1823|1823 Revolution]], in which UR diplomats sought to softly steer the Tierradorian Provisional Government towards the adoption of a society more akin that of the Alstinian Isles; The consequences of which include a number of economic and cultural links and impressions from the use of the Alstinian gridlock system in Tierradorian residential areas, to the widespread usage of [[Blarian Ænglish|Alstinian Ænglish]] as a secondary language. In 1750, there were 35 overseas trading outposts, most of which were concentrated in and around South Crona; By 1900, there over 300 outposts around the globe, some of which, particularly those | Overseas, the United Republic began exerting its influence at first indirectly through intermediaries, most notably via the [[Alstinian Trade Company]], then later directly via diplomacy, trade, and military action.

Concurrently, the United Republic would help to initiate the modern era of international diplomacy through its efforts in establishing and strengthening economic and political ties in [[Levantia]] and [[Sarpedon]]; A notable example being the landmark 1806 [[Treaty of Lariana]], which normalized diplomatic relations between the United Republic and the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. | ||
Domestically, the Isles, beginning in the early 19th century, experienced a rise in urbanization and an unprecedented influx of immigrants from both the [[Occidental world|Occident]] and the [[Alshar|Orient]], which in turn supplied a surplus of labor for the country's industrialization and transformed its culture. National infrastructure, including telegraph and railroads, spurred economic growth and greater settlement and development of the "Frontier". The later invention of electric light and the telephone would also affect communication and urban life. | Domestically, the Isles, beginning in the early 19th century, experienced a rise in urbanization and an unprecedented influx of immigrants from both the [[Occidental world|Occident]] and the [[Alshar|Orient]], which in turn supplied a surplus of labor for the country's industrialization and transformed its culture.
