 ==History==
+==== Pre History ====
+- 200 BC
+Island native tribes do canoe stuff.
+Some cool archaeological factz.
+=== Soungunese Civilization ===
+BC - 1500 AD
+Malentina becomes important thanks to rise of the Songunese. Because trade.
+==== Early Songunese texts ====
+BC - 200 AD
+Little is known about the earliest Songunese settlements, as little evidence remains because of the events of Haven's Fall.
+==== Traders Way ====
+-1000 AD
+Songun influence starts to take root. Trade route from North Songun to [[Tierrador]] helps form island tribes into more centralized societies.
+==== Seven City Federation ====
+-1300 AD
+First somewhat unified state of Malentina formed by the Seven powerful cities of the islands.
+==== The Collapse ====
+-1500 AD
+Period where the North Songun civilization starts to collapse. Malentina islands city-states fall into decline as trade slows down.
+=== Era of Isolation ===
+-1700 AD
+Arzali invaders cause Malenti states to become highly militarized and protective form mainland attacks. Seven Cities becomes the center of Songunese civilization.
+==== Arzali Invasion ====
+-1550 AD
+Arzali raiders attempt to raid the comparatively prosperous tribes after already ransacking the North Songun mainland. Invasion fails in part because of hurricanes.
+==== Songun Haven ====
+-1600 AD
+Malentina becomes final North Songun state, or more a first Songunese successor state. Takes in many refugees from mainland causing a huge population surge. Complicates the cultural makeup of the island, from two main tribal groups split in seven main tribes to what is believed to be over 50 different tribes in less than 100 years.
+==== Crisis of the Twelve ====
+AD
+Overpopulation and cultural clashes start to cause extensive issues in the Seven Cities. A great council is held to attempt to resolve these issues, but fails because of a large series of miscommunications slowly escalating towards violence.
+==== Haven's Fall ====
+-1700 AD
+Extremely bloody tribal conflict breaks out, mainly separated into the mostly unified Malentinan native tribes and the mostly disunited mainlander tribes. First successful Arzali raid takes place during this time, but few return successful leading to raiders mostly ignoring the islands. Result of conflicts is that mainlander tribes are almost driven to extinction, at the crushing cost of over two-thirds of the pre-haven native tribes, including two of the seven being practically wiped out completely.
+=== Tribes and Settlers ===
+-1900 AD
+Suddenly white people. Which is good, until it isn't (because Ænglish).
+==== Salcojina Greeting ====
+-1750
+Cartadanian settlers are the first to arrive on the island from the Occidental nations. Build the first settlement of Salcojina. Mostly a trade post. Natives start out hostile but are convinced by a very gregarious expedition leader to start trading, leading to friendly relations for a long time ahead. Quite a number of Ænglish settlers arrive at the colony, more than Cartadanians.
+The foreigners are only allowed to settle on the easternmost island. Any attempt to move into the other two islands is met with swift and deadly force by the natives.
+==== Puerto Luna gold rush ====
+-1780
+Gold discovered in the settlement of Puerto Luna on the island of Hileenkopp. Causes a huge number of Ænglish to migrate to the island. This in turn leads to (Ardmore?) buying the island from Cartadania.
+=== The Gold, the Ænglish and Blood ===
+-1900
+Ænglish are not as good at dealing with the natives as Cartadania. Although they are way better at getting rid of them.
+==== Canoe Wars ====
+-1850
+Purchase of colony is almost immediately followed by conflicts between settlers and natives. This quickly ignites into full blown war. Although there are short periods of peace during this time, most of it is made up of various conflicts against the natives. Natives while mostly being on the loosing end don't get crushed in large parts thanks to successfully staying mostly unified against the foreign threat. A lesson learned from the Arzali invasion and Haven's Fall, which at this point is among the most important legends in the Malentinan culture.
+==== False Peace ====
+-1900
+Natives and Ænglish make an unease peace, although incidents of violence between the two continued consistently through the period.
+=== 20th Century ===
+-2000
+Colony no more. But violence remains.
+==== Independence ====
+Colony is granted self-governance soon followed by independence. Although foreign influence is still strong. Government is mostly focused on the immigrant population, with natives being side-lined and mistreated often.
+==== Starlit Revolution ====
+Natives successfully mount a violent revolution, focused on acts during moonless nights where the revolution gets its name. Despite being outnumbered conflict goes the natives way. Until they very clearly go genocidal on the immigrant population. Specifically targeting full blooded whites over those of mixed heritage, and notably focused on attacking upper class members such as plantation owners and government officials. Even with a swift intervention championed by Arcerion over 70% of the white population of the islands are wiped out in a matter of months. Aftermath would lead to a short period of total occupation soon followed by an international mandate mainly lead by Arcerion and Cartadania.
+==== Conference of the New Confederation ====
+After 50 years of occupation a new state is created to finally replace the international mandate, once more letting the nation be free. This is however with a very harsh limit to their military capability, or rather military asset ownership. The agreement establishing the new state also allows Arcerion to enforce a demilitarization of the nation.
+=== Modern ===
++
+==== Arcerion cold war ====
+In the early 2000s Malentina violates the Arcerion demilitarization after several incidents of what they consider Arcerion overreach violating Malentinan sovereignty. This has caused somewhat of a cold war to develop between the nations, with the only reason it not breaking into all out war being international intervention.
+==== International influence ====
+Malentina has connections with Arcerion, Tierrador, The Cape, Cartadania, Ardmore, Alstin and Vithinja.
+!!! OLD LORE STARTS !!!
 ===First Refugees===
 Although there is very few records of the times when the first oceanic travelers settled on the Malentine islands, especially since the history was mainly passed down verbally, it is very hard to know exactly when, how many or over how long these first settlers arrived. What is known is that around the year 800 AD there were enough tribes settled on the islands to leave notable archeological evidence. These tribes spent less time warring with each other than one might expect for the period, which together with a few weak pieces of evidence is used by some to advocate that the tribes used their knowledge of ocean travel to raid the mainland.

+!!! OLD LORE ENDS!!!
 ==Government==
 The Malentinan government is mainly inspired by the confederate system in Arcerion, despite how it may first appear. While the highest offices differ greatly from Arcerion, it has many functional similarities. The ruling body is separated into four main components: The Senate, the Parliaments, the Internal cabinets and the External cabinet. The most notable differences is the fact that the Malentinan republic is a presidential system, as well as having no single representative for the entire confederation.
