History

Colonial time

In 1538, the colony Castellanese Balonis is established. The colony was part of the Castellanese Empire.

Balonis was divided in 5 districts at that time: Garza, Horea, Jesopas, Miros and Víhona.

Independence

Balonis became independent on May 26, 1823 after the Balonese War for Independence, which was solved by the Treaty of Ciudad del Norte. The districts Horea, Jesopas, Miros and Víhona became part of the federal republic of Balonis. The smallest district, Garza, became an independent country, the Independent district of Garza. Districts were no longer used in Balonis, in stead the country started using states. The district Miros was split in the states Manaros and Tierra del Sur, the northern part of Víhona became a state, called Fernandez. A part of Horea also became a state, called Distrito Federal.

Garza reunified with the country again

In 195X, at the end of the world war, Garza was added to Balonis again. This happened with the Treaty of Ciudad Fernandez.
