Etymology

During the First Republican Revolt of 1750, citizens of Maer A'gosto (now Mar Agosto) dumped tons of spices into the water as a form of rebellion. During these acts, poet Pascal de Tubarões wrote to the Florescentian Metropolis: "They are screaming like rabid animals, and acting like them to! One particular phrase that has been uttered a lot is 'Season the Sea' (Tempeira o Mar, in florescentian)."

This phrase became a symbol or revolt, during the Independence War, the Confederation of the Free Nations used Tempeira O Mar as their official name, in form of rebellion. When the Republic was established, multiple ex-nations and factions now stood in a fragile union, the decision was to use the word Tempeira as a symbol of union and resisence that would be neutral, hence the name of the nation.

History

Ancient History

Paleolithic

The archeological evidence provided by researches at the Royal University of Corico show that prior to the Middle Paleolithic, there is no sign of hominin habitation, neither homo sapiens or other homo species seemed to live here. The Middle Paleolithic was marked in he region by a low density of sites, most probably caused by the lack of cave systems which would have made sheltering harder, most acheological sites from that ime concentrate in the Vodean border regions. Around 40,000 BP, the first signs of human habitation are found in the Guixma Paleolithic Area in the Tempeiran Central Sitian Valley, making the beginning of a long string on influxes to the valley. Their lifes were nomadic, and their diet consisted in animals found in the plains of the region, however, due to a lack of caves and coverage of vegetation during the era, caused by a colder climate, their non-permanent habitations were more similar to the ones found the in the nothern and southern polar and subpolar regions. There is evidence of controled fires by the nomadic people in the Guixma Valley whenever they would leave their old place of habitation, the reasons are still unclear.

The coastal plains were also inhabited, however, more sparcly, the sandy, wind blown terrains of the time were hard to live in, and the few valleys between the rugged coast made for an uninviting location. Though areas that would later become deserts around the world, including northern Tarephia, had seen incredible wet periods during the time, Tempeira was marked by, savannah like biomes with the occasional tropical forest.

During this time there have been identified four distinct cultures, the Early Sitian Culture (ESC), Lower Helena Culture (LHC), Cajueiros Culture (CC) and the Sanguicol Culture (SC).

Last Glacial Maximum

During the Last Glacial Age, the continental shelf in Tempeira exposed the shallow seas between the modern coast and the island chains located close to it, it was during this time, the Archipelagania Cultura came to existence, a offspring of the Lower Helena Culture that moved to places like Barzona and Teotiyolcan. The climate was dry, however, i was wetter than the period before, allowing for an expansion of the Tropical forests in the region.

During that time, there was a heavy habitation of whats now the coast of Valaga-Barzona, since there was a huge delta that combined the waters of the Sitian, Bujon and Yoltinemiliziatoya rivers, which was a perfect habitat for a plethera of bird, fish and small mammal species. Most archeological evidence has been lost due to the flooding of the region, however, many of these cultures would later on divided themselves across the sea, the shared proto-languagues and genetics are able to prove that once, they had shared a common land.

Mesolithic

During this period at the end of the last glacial period, the region would have gone through different types of change, while the Sitian Valley gorged itself with the start of agriculture, the Cajueiros region suffered through a process of drying and the change for a steppe biome. The coastal regions would have suffered the most alterations, with plenty of their habitable lands being reclaimed by the sea.

Coastal Mesolithic Tempeira saw the extintion of the Lower Helena Culture, that based mostly on the consuption of shellfish and cruteceans, while the Sanguicol Culture migrated south and diverged. The wetter conditions made for a new tropical forest biome to flourish, while this was good for the diet diversity for the multiple cultures formed, the loss of open space and a new enviroment for diseases stopped the development of permanent settlements during the period. The LHC disapeared, although genetic evidence shows they are the progenitors of the Helenian People. While the SC separated to become the New Sanguicol Culture, the Tantantan Culture, the Guyval Mound Culture and the Catamia Culture.

The Cajueiros Culture was extint after the steppefication of the Cajueiros Region. The new Border Vodeo Culture was a small sparce group that left the caves of the region, however, did not advance to agriculture.

The Sitian Valley saw the influx of many groups of people, including the Helenian Culture.

Neolithic

The Neolithic brought the sendentarism of most of the Sitian Cultures around 10,000 BP and the Coastal Region in 9,500-9,000 BP. The creation of settlements created a better ground for trading routes and innovation, the commoners life was more secure, with cities in certain regions with walls and mudbrick houses. The Sitian Valley at that point separated in 3 cultures: The Early Craton Mound Culture, Upper Sitian Culture and Tropical Sitian Culture. The Sitian Cultures dominated the fertile Sitian and Che River Valleys during the Neolithic.

The Costal Cultures with their small canoes started to specialize in fishing on the many lagoons dotting the coast, with inland costal cultures migrating during monsoons to the coast to avoid chronic flash floods and mudslides. During that time, semi-permanent settlements formed on the verge of trading roads, with the most important being Early Guyval, Tataramen, Aqátia, Judialz and Trapiches.

Guarinán and Sitian Cultures

Between 8,000-7,000 BP, the Guarinán people, an offspring of the XXX people, migrated from Allendea to the Ceuci Valley, in northern Tempeira. During this period the Sitian Cultures all merged into the Greater Sitiania Early Civilization, a collection of towns and villages that maintaned a System of Equality between settlements. When the Guarinán start writing, around 4.000-3.500 BP, Sitians had already declined and most of settlements in he lower valley, had already been abandoned, most researches believe that the acidification of the ground, caused by the invading tropical forest, would have caugh the Sitians by surprise, and with no knowledge of agriculture in tropical forests, Sitians would slowly decline until their dissaperance in 2.000 BP

Bronze Age

The Neolithic period was marked in Tempeira by permanent or semi-permanent settlements that would shift locations during decades (this does not include the Craton site and the Minerva Site), the end of Neolitic in Tempeira is marked by the Craton Stone found in the Carotaba region, a inscripted stone with the description of the location of Craton with a small map of the region, dated to 6,500 BP.

The Craton Site is a anomaly on the Bronze Age record, while the entire Sitian Valley started urbanizing and the Early Craton Mound Culture ended, Craton kept a mound tradition on the floodplains of the Paranumbu Lake, the Craton Site has been the longest inhabited settlement on the region, with periods of abandoment followed by new inhabitants, which puzzles archeologists on what was the reason for the repeated re-settlement of the site without alteration of the Mounds..

The Bronze Age brought forth the Sitian Kingdoms, the Polyval Kingdom and the Thra Lei Empire. During that time the jungles and steppes of the north and east pushed focus and activity to the Sitian River Delta and the coast line. The expansion through trading routes gave Sitian states great power in the region, even founding two known colonies in the Cajueiros Region (modern day Possoró and Porto Seco), the Paranumbu Lake became a hotspot for trade. The Lake was bigger at the time, encompassing the entire lake and marshland system of the area.. The first city found on the region was Aprto in the region of the modern Apa Massa lake's northern shores. Development was slow an around three different interactions of sitian written languague came to pass between 6,400 - 4,700 BP. Around 4,500 BP the Sitian kingdoms situated at the mouth of the Sitian River collapsed due to reasons unknown. though it is believed that an expension of the tropical forests combined with the siltification of the old Paranumbu lake might have contributed, while activity in the region was still strong, this collapse created economic issues for the inland kingdoms that now had to spend resources to trade with coastal kingdoms while corssing the mountains.

Around 2,500 and 1,900 BP the entire region suffered from a collapse caused by climate change and mass migration. The Sitian kingdoms fully collapse with their language went extint, their descendants being engulfed by other cultures. Caleuche from the Altiplano Region to migrate to the Sitian River Valley and triumph over the collapsing kingdoms at the time, changing language and culture forever. Thraian Culture survived but moved south to include parts of Araguan. Sitians were absorved by new cultures, while a small enclave of sitians might have moved south as far as Freedemia until being absorved by the locals there.

Migration is confusing during that time, with Caleuche from the north moving to the coast and Guarinans from the coast moving inland. Archeologists have identified a gap in southern migration to Freedemia from Sitians, most of Paroy lacks any evidence of Sitians, but close to Fotja Rejt they reapear. Sitians were important in the pre-establishment of agriculture on the valley of the Sitian River and the construction of canals. Their culture likely affected the Guarinan Culture, dividing it from the rest of their mother culture.

Rivagiens

Rivagiens arrives around 1240 in Caleuche territory, Tantantan receives the new visitors with suspictions and the appointed king, Mache III, offers the colonizers a small piece of land on an island east of the city, becoming the Colony of Tropical Waters, however, this was the only outpost Rivagiens had on the Empire's border, and through is existence it was the only place were Caleuche and Franquese traded, in 1260, Emperor Nichatón decreted that the franquese colonizers should have limits of how much presence they could hold inside of the empire. The outpost, in its growing years, was mostly abandoned after Rivagiens cessed to exist, and was for a time, totally abandoned after the Blessed Floods of 1300. Tropical Waters population that was left joined the Caleuche population in Tantantan.

The Franquese influence on the tempeiran coast was small, with a few outpost that were constantly attacked by the Caleuche Pirates, a groups of Caleuche settlers that inhabited outside of the empire's borders.

Florescentian Arrival

Florescenta, wanting to expand its territory, aimed to carve out small pieces of land through out the tarephian region. In 1350, Florescenta lands on Estreito, founding the Nossa Terra Sagrada de Nova Florescenta (Ingerish - Our Sacred Land of New Florescenta) on the backwater regions of south Tempeira).

Florescentan colonizers go up the coast.

Florescenta founds Vila Maria Antunes in 1400, its destroyed in 1410 by Caleuche Pirates, Florescenta invades the Pirate Islands and subjugates them for the time being. Maer A'gosto is founded in 1422.

Caleuche now borders New Florescenta.

Caleuche loses Tantantan in a battle against the Franquese minority and Florescentians in 1502

The Colonial Wars

Caleuche declares war to Florescenta in 1505, the fortress city of Machacol is destroyed. In 1530 the war ends with Caleuche being forced to open its coastal continent lands for colonizing and trading. Colonizing is slow.

New Kalmish Confederation and United Colonies

The New Kalmish Confederation (in Kalmish, Neukalmischer Bund), was formed by florescentian order to push for colonization of caleuceh lands. In 1609, the first group of Kalmish settlers come.

In 1612 the first Plevian settlers come to the southern reaches of the old Caleuche empire.

In 1660 the kalmish and plevian colonies both join in a loose confederation to declare independence from New Florescenta, on the orders of Kalm and Plevia. The Kalmish form a confederation of city-states, while the Plevians form a small oligarchy called Terrossa, with the capital being Trantano.

In 1695 both are defeated, since both Florescenta and Caleuche fought them. Most settlers flee south.

Epucaleuche Republic

In 1709 a cholera outbreak in the Ceuci-Quaraí weakens their borders, now under threat by florescentian mercenaries. A weakened Caleuche from the war against Terrossa and the Bund proposes a unification of both nations, using the old neutral grounds as the new ground for a capital. Aristocracy pushes for larger voting rights for citizens, to better separate them from colonizers.

Tiléia is founded in 1720 and the Epucaleuche Republic is formed. With two elected kings and one huge senate being elected into power every 10 years.

This Republic would continue to exist officialy until 1770, when it was annexed by New Florescenta as a double protactorate.

Republican Dreams

The now gone Epucaleuche Republic brings on dreams of a republic being formed. In 1789 Salvador Quaraí, a politician pro-republic and independence is killed in a public square by florescentian guards.

Union Revolts

The murder causes revolts across all colony cities. In 1791 port workes throw spices into the sea in Maer A'gosto. In 1792 the revolts are surpressed

Slave Revolts and Cajueiro

The black population held slave revolts in 1791, multiple communities start fleeing inland. In 1796 troops are sent to eliminate the "threath", pushing communities to the Vodean border, a region not controlled at the time by Florescenta. Cajueiro is founded in 1799.

Exiled Nobles and the New Monarchy

A group of nobles is exiled in 1795 from florescenta, they land on now colony of Afluentes in 1796. This group, backed by monarquists establishes a monarchy that would rival against the indigenous ones.

The Unions

In 1800 Florescenta decides to unify every colony in the colony of afluentes. The smaller governments are gone and Maer becomes the capital of the colony.

A Nation starts to be born

In 1809 republicans use this unification to declare independence, on the city of Tiléia. Indigenous forces join, together with Cajueiros. In 1811 they win the Battle of Novo Cratón.

Independence and Federalism

Florescenta fails to defend its colony, and in 1819, Tempeira becomes independent. The many culturally diverse regions forced the new goverment to allow for more independent for states to be formed. The Tempeiran Federalist Democracy annexes Cajueiros the same year it gets independence.

The final form of Tempeira is made in 1860, when the state of Arasí is separated from Quaraí.

The Militarism Fail

In 1934 the military believes that the economic downfall of tempeira is to be blamed for the rights given to the population, who has becomed to spoiled. The high council decided to overthrow the government. In 1937 they invade Mar Agosto, however, the lower ranks of the military revolt and take control over the coup, stopping it.

The Social Wave

The failed coup pushes the population more to the left. The first socialist president is elected during this time.
