History:
The history of Eestliionaalia dates back many years, the area was originally settled long before recorded history, and with the persistent and heavy tree cover, the skin of the local populace is almost as light as their cousins up on the northern continent. The country was once a conglomerate of disparate kingdoms and lordships with no coherence, till one day, long ago, Valyreis Eelane founder of House Eelane conquered the lands. Knowing the Disparate Nature of his subjects, he ceded his powers of wether rulings were just, to a court chosen by his subjects, and his ability to make laws, and his executive power to an assembly of lords, ten from each new province, that was chosen by the people.

However all was not well, not all lands took well to this new power, and as such there were rebellions and minor incursions. However the armies marshaled to conquer the lands were put to use crushing these insurrections, and after a couple years, there were no more, growing complacent, the assembly disbanded the armies, whose soldiers went back to their previous trades, and defense was left to local militias, administered by their respective lords, the land grew rich and prosperous, and for a while the most excitement the militias might have was flushing out a particularly annoying group of bandits, but that was soon to change, the tribe of the nameless, as they came to be called, under the godless king invaded, and by the time the assembly had decided that the solution was to be a professional army, the capital was in flames and half the assembly lay slaughtered where they had sat. The king and the surviving nobles fled from the city recruiting and training an army with all possible speed

Eventually the invaders were pushed back, while also suffering heavy losses, and even though this event led to the proud military tradition that is still in place, it left a sour taste in the mouths of the assembly on the subject of capitalism, trade restrictions mounted over the ensuing centuries, and soon thereafter the economy was in collapse, unable to raise funds, the assembly chamber grew dirty and threadbare, and the military, the pride of the nation, had to resort to sharing muskets and only being able to supply a single load of powder and shot for each soldier per day, the natural outcome of this was pioneering in the fields of rifling and metallurgy, to squeeze every last bit of use out of each scrap of led and iron, and this thrift has continued to this day, with riflemen drilling for days to ensure every round in their clip hits as close to target as possible.
 
Eventually, the old guard faded away and was replaced by a new guard, who, brushing off the stories that wealth only attracted violence, lifted restrictions on trade, and eventually the economy started growing again, the assembly chamber was cleaned and gilded and the common man reached new standards of living, but it was not enough to fully recover, until the great war that was.

During the great(emmerian) war, bringing their technical skills to bear, the economy of Eestliionaalia soared, as a arms deal with Estovakia led to Millions of Escots in business for local manufacturers, and also brought them close to another country for the first real time in history, after the war, Frecoslavia and Strovalkia were soon major trading partners, and that is where the modern day begins
