Throughout its history, Ceylonia's governance was mostly at the helm of other, much more powerful nations. During the 6th to 13th centuries, Ceylonia was a colony of the [[Tierrador#Qabóri Woqalate|Qabóri Woqalate]], being [[Conquest of Qopakee (677 AD)|conquered in 677 AD]]. This time was relatively unstable for the colony, as the majority of the Ceylon people rejected the Qabóri government's policies. In 1411, members from the Qopakee tribe revolted against Qabór, beginning the [[Qopakee Wars]], which lasted for nearly sixty years. In 1468, the colony was granted its independence from Qabór, under the condition that it become a vassal state, thus creating the Woqalate of Qopakee. The newly-founded vassal state was much more stable and technologically-advanced than the colony, taking a lot of political and economic influence from its former colonial power. The Woqalate lasted for 200 years, until the arrival of [[Sarpedon|Sarpedonian settlers]] in the late 1600s. In 1701, Ceylonia was officially established as a [[Cartadania|Cartadanian]] colony, after settlers raided the Bahía Roja and establishing the city of Santa Maria. Ceylonia's modern history was heavily molded by Cartadanian colonization from the 19th to 20th century. It began with, and was for centuries limited to, coastal settlements and trading posts established starting in the late 17th century along the Sea of Orixtal, though it was considered to be the most important of Cartadania's Cronan continental territories due to its location. Unlike with [[Porlos]] in the 19th century, Cartadanian settlers had already established themselves in the interior of Ceylonia during the 18th century as geographic barriers like rivers had already defined neighboring territories, limiting the extent to which the country could grow. Thus, the borders of Ceylonia have remained largely the same since its establishment as a territory in 1704.
