==History==
==History==
The history of [[Coscivian civilisation]] in Ixnay begins on Koskenkorva. The Coscivian explorer [[Kedhur Valēkas]] first set foot on Ixnayan soil at Nimbus Point near modern-day Valkadun in 2XXXX. At the time, the island was inhabited primarily by Finnic-speaking peoples, with whom Valēkas' expedition made contact and exchanged diplomatic gifts. After circumnavigating the island, Valēkas turned south, eventually discovering [[Great Kirav]] and wintering in what is now [[Valēka]]. Valēkas called at Koskenkorva on his return journey and on each of his subsequent expeditions, eventually establishing a fort and trading post at Valkadun.  
The known history of the [[Coscivian civilisation#People|Coscivian peoples]] in Ixnay begins on Koskenkorva. The earliest evidence of human habitation dates back 20,000 to 30,000 years.


===Cromwelute Wars===
===Cromwelute Wars===
In the opening years of X decade, the Coscivian Empire joined forces with the Celtic chiefdoms of Great Kirav and the Finnic tribes of Koskenkorva against the Cromwelutes. At the outset of the war, the Cromwelutes controlled the northern third of the island and several settlements on the southeast coast, while Finns retained control of the interior and the Coscivian presence was largely confined to the southern third. Coscivian cavalry and border rangers from the northeastern colonies helped the Finns push outward and northward, eliminating Cromwelute settlements as they went, while the Coscivian Navy, technologically advanced for its time, interdicted reinforcements.


Following the war, the Finns of Koskenkorva joined the major Celtic chiefdoms and the Coscivian colonies in the Commonwealth of Arms, a defencive and diplomatic pact to prevent the polities from weakening each other through wars and unite against future Cromwelute incursions. The Coscivians repopulated the Cromwelute settlements that they had taken on Koskenkorva, mostly with Keregūlem, Scādem, and Āmskem colonists, and reīnforced their southern holdings.
===Kilikas Renaissance and Early Modernity===


===Coscivian Province to Confederate Republic===
===Federalist Period===
In XXXXX, the Commonwealth of Arms was absorbed into the Coscivian Imperial system, with the three Finnic kings of Koskenkorva pledging fealty to the Coscivian Emperor. Koskenkorva was incorporated into the Empire as a unitary province and a Viceroyalty in its own right, and was not folded into the Dominion of Kiravia.


===Nordic Reconquest===
===Kirosocialism===
Kirosocialism held little appeal for the average Koskenkorvan, given its limited industrial development and widespread collective village ownership of land. The ''Xēmbra'' denounced the declaration of the [[Kiravian Union]] and the island became a safe haven for loyalist Kiravian Navy ships fleeing the Northeastern naval bases, as well as for anti-communist emigrés. Koskenkorva remained a Federalist stronghold until after the defeat of the [[Farravonian Counterrevolution]] in [YEAR] left Kirosocialist forces free to finally mount an assault on the island. The rump KFR government based in [[Æonara]] could no longer realistically maintain its lines of communication and was forced to evacuate its forces. Many emigrés, some being displaced for the second time, were able to escape to [[Suderavia]] and [[Scapa]]. Valkadun, which had seen its coastal defence artillery lifted by the retreating Federalist troops, surrendered to the Red Fleet without firing a shot. The Xēmbra fled inland to Kosovo and attempted to rally a militia to resist the invaders, but the lightly-armed and poorly-organised Koskenkorvan militia proved no match for Red Army shock troops. Most of the remaining loyalist government was captured at Kosovo or the northern village of Hyaloñ in [Month] [Year], and the Xēmbra was collectively tried and publically executed in Valkadun in [Month]. A low-level guerilla insurgency would continue in densely-forested backwoods areas.


===Liberation to Kirosocialism===
An already poor and remote region, Koskenkorva would not fare well under Kirosocialist rule. The island was declared off-limits to foreign trade and visitors, and even travel by KU citizens was tightly restricted by the Ministry of Public Security.
