From OpenGeofiction

This page is a sandbox for the still unwritten history of Izaland.

Current draft:

13th century to 1xxx - The Nakai Kingdom, rise and collapse

The subsequent Nakai Kingdom (奈堺王国, from the name of the Royal Palace built in Warohan) was effectively a Suo protectorate, with Bai merchants granted concessions and privileges to dominate trade in the region. Under Bai's control, the coastal cities of Warohan, Daishin, Kanlisahna, and Kokendake (the former name of Sainðaul) expanded rapidly, as the Suo sought to install its own fleet to protect its possessions in the region.

Following the Suo's collapse, the Nakai Kingdom, for a brief period, became effectively independent from Bai control. The Nakai, along with Belphenia, Kojo and Pasundan, competed to take control of Bai's possessions in the Axian Peninsula, along with western Ulethan powers seeking colonisation opportunities in the region. The Nakai fell under the influence of Ulethan powers for the remainder of its existence, impacting local culture and customs.


Questions that need to be answered:

  • How long did the Suo protectorate in Izaland last (officially Suo collapsed in 1671, but Izaland probably gained more independence a couple centuries earlier)?
  • What happened in the north (of Izaland and beyond) during this time?
  • When did the area start to feel that it belonged to one country, called Izaki (Izaland)?
  • When did the trading expedition begin? Equatorial Izaland came under the rule of Izaki in the early 17th century, and the first visits to Archanta may have been at least 50 years earlier.
  • What about the Nihonese speaking nations in the south? Were they independent or subjugated (by Izaland, Bai or somewhere else)?
  • Relations with Pyeokchin?
 History of Pyeokchin (what is found in Korean on the country page):
 The southern and central regions were unified around the 10th century, but the northern region became a vassal state of Pyeokjin around the 12th century, and shared a common history, and was completely annexed in the late 18th century.
  • Relations with Belphenia?
 History of Belphenia: Currently not available on the wiki, but the history found on the old wiki is too fantastic and unrealistic to be taken seriously, so it will be difficult to have a common history for the time being. However, in certain periods of history, Izaland may have owned parts of Belphenia and vice versa.
