Formed out of the eastern half of the Archchiefdom of Quetzenkel in the wake of its civil war (the other half becoming Cetsencalia), the country sits at the crossroads, both culturally and economically, between Crona, [[Varshan]], the sphere of [[Daxia]] and the [[Occidental world]]. The relative diversity of the country's neighbors and trading partners has created a vibrant cultural revival during the 21st century. Although wartorn, the country's economy is redeveloping and is expected to flourish given its strong trade and investment relations with [[Levantia]]. | ||

Following decades of peace in the 20th century, concerns around the Occidental world once again intervening around the Nysdra in the years immediately preceding [[The Deluge]] led Quetzenkel and many other states to begin considering modernization and rearmament. To this end, Quetzenkel agreed to allow [[Veltorine people]] to settle in some of the less populated parts of Western Quetzenkel in exchange for technical expertise with respect to military and industrial goods. Their expertise allowed Quetzenkel to construct a relatively modern military by 1990, though efforts to maintain it were not taken as it was thought the Occidental danger had passed. | Following decades of peace in the 20th century, concerns around the Occidental world once again intervening around the Nysdra in the years immediately preceding [[The Deluge]] led Quetzenkel and many other states to begin considering modernization and rearmament.

With support from [[Daxia]], Quetzenkel annexed the rebellious province of Brudxaan, modern [[New Veltorina]], in [[1962]]. This move met with the support of most international powers, establishing a so-called "Varshan gradient" which separated [[Cao]] and Occidental possessions in [[Cusinaut]] from Varshan. It also had the effect of collapsing the centuries old [[Venua'tino#Polar Captaincy|Polar Captaincy]] in [[Venua'tino]]. The region was also partly settled with newly arrived Veltorines. | ||
