| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
Before colonization, Native Archantans inhabited the state, the largest being the Skiree Tribe, based off the Pawnee, with the first explorers being from Valonne, which gave the state its name, with a fort being set up in the northeast part of the state. The Valonnens will stay for a few years before abandoning the fort, soon, the Ingerish will arrive, but won't focus on making settlements. It wasn't until the Federal States and Des Plaines Territory was established that settlements will spring up, with Des Plaines gaining statehood in the mid-19th century. Des Plaines will not have anything really eventful, but in recent years, the state has tried to diversify it's economy from agriculture.
