History Early Years From the beginning of recorded history in Zephyria, there were two dominant cultures on the western-most tip of South Zephyria, the Vanesian people, and Telo people. Compared to the smaller, more barbaric, tribes that surrounded the two peoples, the Vanese and Telo were the height of civilization. For hundreds of years, starting in 264 BCE, Southeast Zephyria was a peaceful, industrious, place, led by Vanese and Telo. ![]() Dark Age In 572 CE, a warlord by the name of "Ransik", rose up in the wild-lands that lied in the west. He gathered a great army and marched into the civilized lands, burning every book he saw, every philosopher, scientist and king that he found. In 3 years, he had swallowed up every country in the civilized periphery, leaving only the Vanese and Telo kingdoms to face his large army. The defenders were driven back to the present site of Chamterry. In the great battle of Chamterry, through skill, and a fair bit of luck, the Vanesians and Telo won. By forcing Ransik's army into a narrow valley, the weaker defenders were able to hold off Ransik's army until a great number of reinforcements came from the rear of Ransik's army, sandwiching them. Sandwiching the enemy became a slaughter, but not with out destroying 2/3 of the defending army as well. In the time after "The Ancient War", the whole region fell into being city-state barbarians. For the outlying kingdoms, it was a but a splitting of the countries, but for the Vanese and Telo, it was a three-quarter-millennium plunge back to the darkest of times. For around 500 years, the region was under a dark cloud, greedy kings would attack and sack their neighbors for as much as stealing a cow. Highwaymen were rampant, it was not safe to move around the region without being attacked at least twice. In 1389, the Great Earthquake occurred. The damage was widespread but the various City-States coped. Revival In 1532 CE, a flotilla of Orchyran trading ships, found their way into the city of Phalos' harbor. The ships had gotten stranded after they encountered a super hurricane of the western Liberian coast. They carried with them, advanced weaponry and armor, including muskets, and the language of Navis. The Phalosians were friendly with the foreigners just long enough to learn how to build the guns and armor and speak the language, then killed them. Using the weapons, Phalos, speaking Navis, conquered much of south-eastern Zephyria. They established a kingdom that lasted almost 100 years. Early Republic 1624 CE, Unrest was at an all time high. King Sandmera was an absolute despot. For over 30 years, he had been quashing any form of Democratic movement that was made. His secret police would routinely be seen dragging random people out of their houses and shooting them out on the street for supposed 'rebellious behavior'. On September 11th, at 9:00 AM, a large mob was formed outside of the Royal palace in Phalos. Within an hour of the forming of the mob, it was flowing into the palace and being killed by Sandmera's small army/bodyguard group, but there were to many. Half an hour later, the king and all but one of his closest advisors were dead. The remaining advisor was Constantine Feron, Sandmera's closest friend. He was actually the leader of the democratic movement in all of the kingdom. At 6 PM, after the consolidation of the government, Feron declared a new republic called 'Vantel' with him being the head of the parliament. Most historians concur that the revolution was a direct effect of the earlier rebellion in Neolantia. Feron did not set himself up as the Prime Minister. He did not wish to be viewed as, simply, taking over his old friends job. He himself said that the people should decide their governance, not the victor. Feron, with the help of the newly formed parliament, formed a Constitution that would ensure the rights of the people, he also moved the capital to Chamterry. After which, the people elected their first Prime Minister in Mikhail Thompson. At first there were many political parties but with in 15 years they had sorted themselves out in to two parties that stand to this day. The new republic established close relations with Neolantia shortly after that have lasted through even the darkest days of the world. ![]() First Civil War From 1624 to 1741, the Republic of Vantel was a peaceful and budding nation. Vantel had colonized [Z56] [Z57] and [Z54] and installing friendly governments when ever possible in the nations around them. In 1742, Monarchists who still believed in the Sandmera blood line revolted against the Republican government. Enlisting the help of disgruntled frontiersman who lived at the very outskirts of the country, they tried to stage a coup of the legitimate government. They failed and were caught escaping from the compound. This set off a series of violent battles between Monarchist frontiersman and Republican army troops. The battles lasted six months with the Monarchist only managing to capture a few settlements and a portion of the city of Phalos before they were crushed by Republican forces. This reinforced the democratic spirit of much of the country. Resurgence In 1744, the great thinker, Francis Rova, was born. He was a great abolitionist who had much influence in the public opinion throughout the country. The frontiersman had been taking slaves from the various border peoples, and selling them to the interior folk for hundreds of years. Rova swayed the country greatly, influencing them eventually to free all slaves that had been taken over the many years. This occurred in 1787. In 1821, on his deathbed, Rova stated that it was his wish for women to also become equal to men as he himself saw his wife. Not 15 years later, women were fully voting citizens of Vantel. This marked a great rise in the well being of Vantel in general. In the 1835, Neolantia and Vantel, with their former colonies that remained friendly, formed a Commonwealth that still stands today. Second Civil War The rest of the 19th Century was a period of peace, interspersed with small battles between the Commonwealth and Orchyre. In 1907, Ethnic separatists rebelled against Vanesian control of their homelands. The war was very bloody and lasted for 7 years. The rebels brought new combat unit of aircraft to the field while the government brought in Armored units in the form of armored cars. Eventually, the separatists were able to withdraw several pieces of land which lead to the current shape of Vantel. World War Vanesian Armored and Air units were a large part of ADATTA/Commonwealth Zephyrian forces as well as their shipping ability being used to the utmost. Modern times Today, Vantel is a peaceful place who is willing to trade with almost anyone. It remains a part of the Nerian Commonwealth. Edited by Raz, Mar 24 2012, 05:32 AM.

Politics Parties: National Conservative Movement: (NCM) The National Conservative Movement has been in control of the parliament and for five consecutive elections after a brief loss of control. The Prime Ministerial position has been in their control for two terms. Their ideology is conservative, based on a smaller government while maintaining a healthy military and a large global presence.They oppose all forms of socialization and are harsher on the Arts. Progressive Party of Vantel: (PPV) The Progressive Party of Vantel has been out of control of the parliament for 5 elections. The last Prime Ministerial position they held was 6 years ago. The PPV's Ideology is more liberal in attitude, they regard the arts much more freely and endorse socialization, especially welfare, healthcare, and education. They disdain a larger military, want a larger government, and are for Isolationism. Independent Coalition (IC) The Independent Coalition, while not considered a single party, is a major player in Vanesian politics. Representing the middle between the heated sides, the IC has various leanings but are generally in between the NCM and the PPV. In the history of the Parliament, there have been 3 times where an independent coalition has come to power, each during a time of crisis, the first during the first conflicts against Orchyre, the second during the Second Civil War, and finally during the World War. They have achieved 2 Prime Ministerial positions, once during the World War and another after a scandal in the 1970s. Edited by Raz, Dec 7 2011, 04:12 AM.
