History

The United Ganassam Kingdoms

The United Ganassam Kingdoms was formed in 907 after the monarch Areno Pakigaka of Soyeqarelef Omolebenemi Ganassam proposed a unification to the other small kingdoms along the Ganassam, which aimed to improve the overall economy and military. The monarchs of the kingdoms agreed, officially forming the United Ganassam Kingdoms. The capital was selected as Fenelef Omolebenemi Ganassam, as it was the largest of all the towns along the Ganassam. The city was renamed to Fenonas.

Intrigued by the power of the union, the city-state of Hajim found interest in joining. Initially, the union was hesitant to allow them to join, due to the amount of unpopulated land between the Ganassam and Hajim. Hajim was let in when they proposed to build and maintain a road between Fenonas and Hajim in 912.

The New Ganassam Kingdom

The New Ganassam Kingdom was formed by general Kokal Tedjani after he lead a coup against king Felal Bitha in 1200, worrying that the Bitha family was too power-hungry and aggressive and would make bad decisions, leading to chaos. Kokal Tedjani became the new king following the successful coup, in which the royal palace was raided and Felal Bitha and his brother were captured and imprisoned. During the raid of the walled city, people loyal to the king fought against rebels in the Battle of Fenonas Fitho Qef, but were overwhelmed.

The Coup of 1200

In the late 1190s, general Kokal Tedjani of the Ganassami Army started to plan a coup against king Felal Bitha, as he viewed Bitha as tyrannical and power-hungry, causing unrest and oppression within the United Ganassam Kingdoms. Tedjani quickly gained a large following, as much of the population agreed that Bitha should not be in power. Tedjani started organizing a militia with thousands of troops, many of which were trained soldiers. They planned to attack Fenonas Fitho Qef on Motamaho Letsam in 1200, as many people would be away praying that day. Several days before the attack, it was noticed that there were significantly more guards in Fenonas Fitho Qef, likely due to a soldier loyal to Bitha reporting the plan.

The Kingdom of Raqar

The Kingdom of Raqar was formed in 1493 when ___ passed the title of king to Koyeho Paqa, who proposed that the Kingdom of Batamqar united with the New Ganassam Kingdom. The proposal was accepted, creating the kingdom of Raqar, with Koyeho Paqa as its first emperor. The country pentupled in size, due to Batamqar being very large, although sparse.

The Kindom of Ra Yahan wanted to join the union, however, being very sparse and impoverished, they did not have much to offer to the union. Thus, their request was rejected. Ra Yahan was not let into the union until 1717, when large mineral deposits were discovered in the country, and Raqar let them in as they would benefit the mining industry.

Modern History

1830 is considered the year in which the industrial revolution started in Raqar, as Sreon Marakya made massive investments in industrialization when with reign started in 1830. The populations of major cities such as Fenonas, Hajim, and Meffen skyrocketed, as millions moved there from rural areas to find jobs.

When Sreon Marakya died, the throne was passed down to his eldest son Rene, who continued to industrialize the country. He constructed a railway from Fenonas to Fenelef Gafesamelef Doj to transport resources, and over the years railways connecting other cities were built.

Ikradage Epha, formerly the prime minister, became king when Rene Marakya died and the title was passed to him due to Rene having no children. Epha viewed Raqar's market economy as unfair, and eventually established a socialist economy and a class system. During the peak of socialist influence, thousands of high density apartment blocks were constructed in large cities to accommodate the sudden and quick population growth.
