Etymology

The name Ostland cames from Kalmish language, meaning "east land". In 1352 a Nordurlandic ship arrived to the coast and mapped the zone, and name the zone Østland, later, the kalmish inmigrants who camed to Ostland in the 18th century began to name Vardian kingdom and northern lands as "Ostland".

History

Inicial Settlement

The establishment of population in Ostland dates back to 2000 years ago with the establishment of Karoic-Ugric settlers in the south of the country, they mainly engaged in fishing and reindeer herding, and in the far south rye and wheat were grown.

Tribal Era

Colonial Era

In 1352 a Nordurlandic ship arrived to the coast and mapped the zone, and name the zone Østland, but them doesn't established settlements, because of how hostile the place was.

At the end of the 1400s, the first permanent Veltician settlements would be evident in the area, which would begin exploration missions in the area, which would lead to the colonization of the banks of the Vardijöhk River.

In 1540s the Veltics come to conquist the area and established a colony encompassing almost all the Vardian tribes and Southern Rugaenia, later they founded towns and ports, for whaling and fishing in the Great Northern Sea. In the late 16th century some Christian missionaries were sent to Christianize the region, although they were initially unsuccessful due to resistance from the natives. Although later, the Vardian and Rugaenian people, and later the Limvadian people, gradually accepted Christianity, because the Velticians established laws prohibiting the worship of pagan gods, for which some people were executed. By the early 1700s, worship of pagan gods was a minority and was done in secret. In addition, almost all the sacred sites were systematically destroyed in the late 17th century. This caused numerous violent events between the Veltician authority and the natives especially due to the destruction of sacred sites and the new laws that limited the area of reindeer herding and hunting to promote agriculture on the banks of the Vardijöhk River and fishing on the Great North Sea.

In 1768, when numerous gold deposits were discovered in the Kahtiák and Vardian region, for which thousands of Velticians and Kalmish arrived in search of better opportunities. As a result of the discovery of the mines, the Velticians government took more interest in the area and became interested in its development. To avoid conflict, the Velticians let the Sillimis hold certain positions in the local administration, despite this, there were still restrictive laws regarding reindeer herding and hunting areas. As time passed, the Vardians became a sedentary people and reindeer herding and hunting were marginalized.

In 1786 the colony became a protectorate with an autonomous status.

Independence

In 1786 the Vardian colony was formed as a protectorate from Velticia, becaming in a commonwealth with the regent of Velticia, with a representative of the Veltic kingdom being the local head of state with the title of "Duke of Vardia". As a result of a series of taxes on the fishing and mining industries, raised by the Veltician government, a brief war began in 1841 to achieve total independence for Velticia, after a few months, an agreement could be reached between the two parties, ending the war and establishing the definitive independence of the then Protectorate of Vardia of Velticia.

Expansionism Era

In the early 1800s, expeditions were carried out by southern navigators. In these expeditions the so-called 'northeastern passage' was found by a Geklinian navigator, followed by the first encounters with the Gadruonic and Syraenian people. At the mid 1800s, after independence, a second gold rush arose, which attracted numerous immigrants in search of better opportunities, coming from places such as Kalm, Velticia, Geklinia-Dregolesia, Svennia, Thürschen, Lany etc. These immigrants brought with them some technological advances and deeply impacted the culture of Ostland southern regions.

Industrial Revolution

In the 1860s, King Jörgen II and his political associates began a series of reforms to industrialize the country. This was achieved by hiring experts from already industrialized countries such as Kalm or Ingrea. This process led to the construction of factories in the south of the country, dedicated mainly to the mining industry.

20th Century

In the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century the kingdom make numerous advances in technology, liberty and education, all this was sponsored by King Jörgen II who was the one who supported the industrial revolution and allowed the country to advance too much in a short time. In March 1906, after the king's death, the kingdom became destabilized due to political polarization, generating a coup that ended with an ultra-right-wing christian republican government leadered by Ánderija Utsi.

During his government, the Republic of Vardia was declared and the king was overthrown, resulting in a civil war between the monarchical forces and the republican forces that would last almost 2 years, causing the economy to stagnate.

In 1930, oil was discovered for the first time in Ostland, for which foreign oil companies would begin to extract oil in the late 1930s. In 1939, Limvadia formally joined Ostland, which gave rise to reforms to achieve greater autonomy between the regions of the country.
