History of Shushtrepistaz

Early Years
A Paleolithic culture around 30,000 BC constitutes the first known habitation of Shushtrepistaz. This was followed from around 15,000 BC by a Mesolithic to Neolithic semi-sedentary hunter-gatherer culture, who include ancestors of both the contemporary Kuiko people and Isulo people, characterized by pit dwelling and rudimentary agriculture. Decorated clay vessels from this period are some of the oldest surviving examples of pottery in the world. Around 250 BC, the Yayoi people began to enter the Shushtrepistaz islands, intermingling with the Isulo. The Yayoi period, starting around 500 BC, saw the introduction of practices like wet-rice farming, a new style of pottery, and metallurgy, introduced from China and Korea.

Early Empires
The Shushtrepistaz first appear in written history in the Chinese Book of Han. Buddhism was first introduced to Shushtrepistaz from the Japanese, but the subsequent development of Shudonese Buddhism was primarily influenced by China. Buddhism was promoted by the ruling class and gained widespread acceptance beginning in the Yuibor period (592–710). The Yuibor period had started the seeds for the first Empire, know as the Yuibor empire or the Early Shudonese Empire, the empire that lasted almost 200 years had four rulers, the land consisted of most of the areas around the Keriko river and parts of Raisu tochi, the empire was ruled by the Chyne's and began the Chyne Dynasty. The empire had remained quiet for many of its first years until 620 where Japanese travelers had migrated from Japan to the Central Keriko region, where they intermingled with the indigenous population creating the Jashudo people, now just referred as Shudonese, these people were treated as lower class because they were mixed, and made many of the Jashudo people mad. This racial tension had started a rebellion in 702 where the Jashudo, now outnumbering the pure Shudonese had overthrown the government, and had began a new Dynasty, the Jashudo dynasty. The Jashudo Dynasty did not last long as neighboring kingdoms had started to refuse to trade with them, causing a weakening in their infrastructure and body, as neither crops nor wood was traded. In 708, the Jashudo king, known as Jyuko had given up on trying to beg for food and began to sell land for food and infrastructure. The land once part of the Yuibor Empire started to split up under smaller kingdoms. The kingdom had soon ended up loosing all their land and all their resources, while the once forgotten Isulo people, under a little known emperor known as Jukso Yajiori had began to unite all of the kingdoms together to form the Shudonese Empire. In the last year of the Yoibur empire, the government had began to buy back its land, but it never went successfully as the empire was losing land as much as it was getting land, and they had began to give up, and let all of their land to fade away.



The First Reign
The Shudon period (710–784) of the 8th century marked the emergence of a strong Shuukon state, the Shudonese Empire, centered on an imperial government that was ruled by an emperor of the Isulo people who until 700 AD had been disappeared for years and has been replaced by the less dominant Kuiko People and Jashudo people who had been the ruling people until now. The government was based on a loose system of feudal regions that will be lead by the Emperor. In the 720's Jukso Yajiori had released his writings telling that the feudal system will be replaced by a strong unified empire, leading to a great ten years of prosperity. This all changed when During the 740's the Empire had been struck with a famine, known as the 100 days famine, which killed off many people. The emperor at the time Jukso Yajiori had to create a process to regain his people. He started a law known as Funioshu which was the process of forced, or chosen reproduction and marriage at the age of 14, this not only increased the Empire's population back to normal, but had created a precedent for his sons to keep the law. Funioshu generated a large population growth, due to its statements of at least 3 children per 2 parents, this period will also be known as the growth revolution of Shushtrepistaz, where birth was endorsed by the government, and later a mandatory switch of wife after one cannot produce anymore kin. The law also had been changed by Hiyori Yajiori so that there must be two boys for every girl born from a woman, and if not, the woman would be replaced with another. This growth revolution had ended during the middle of Hiyori Yajiori rule where he had began to notice many "ugly" or untouchable children, which now is know caused by inbreeding. These untouchables had began to form a class of their own creating the first 3 part class system in Shushtrepistaz, where a growing mass of untouchables, now which included migrants, poor, and criminals had dominated cities. The emperor at the time, decided to move these untouchables outside main cities, and to create slums, these slums rapidly grew as the untouchable population had now skyrocketed to 50% of the population. While the middle class, mainly farmers, artisans, and workers had been growing making them 48% of the population leaving a minor 2% for the upper class.

The Second Reign
As the son of the first Emperor died, his son Jenoko Yajiori had tried to reverse what his father and grand-father had done. The first thing on his agenda was to slow down the population laws as they were creating a huge untouchable population, where he had restricted marriages and birth until the age of 17, and started to educated untouchables so they could become middle class. This new age was known as the Ukat Suycio or First Science, was the growth of intelligence where the middle class now had become the higher classes and the lower class and untouchables became the new middle class. Everything under Jenoko Yajiori reign was excellent, as now the empire had doubled in size and trade with Japan and acceptance of Jashudos came into light. This era had also been known for its art and the merge of Japanese and Shudonese was in progress, as the language once written in Yijigo had been replaced by kanji and common words like food, had been changed into the Japanese or the Shudonese version. As Jenoko Yajiori had began to grow old his son, Yubiru had died, making Jenoko's brother's son the next emperor.

Division and Colonization
The year of 900 AD had been shaped by blood shed, set off a split of Shuukon that has resulted in 16 different empires controlling all of Shushtrepistaz. The most major Empire, the Kujion Empire had been characterized by the emergence and dominance of a ruling class of warriors, the suykiou. In 1185, following the defeat of the Olui clan, sung in the epic Tale of Juikono, suykiou Minamoto no Yoritomo was appointed shogun and established a base of power in Kikoa. After his death, the Hōjō clan came to power as regents for the shoguns. The Zen school of Buddhism was introduced from China in the Kikoa period (1185–1333) and became popular among the suykiou class. The Kikoa shogunate repelled Mongol invasions in 1304, but was eventually overthrown by Emperor sodon.

The rest of the many empires had remained peaceful as a age of thought and science arose in the period of Secu Suycio (Second Science) where great Philosophers like Chuan Chen, and Jui Kyuo had wandered lands teaching the people of a new religion Shuko Buddhism, in which mind soul and body were inter collected into one, where the land once known as Death became another meaning of life, where death no long meant sorrow but a new resurrection. New inventions had sparked at the end of the 1300's where Shudonese learned new ways of rice cropping, called Kyuigion, where rice is grown at a slower rate but brings more crops at harvest time. Other inventions included a heat operated rice steamer, that cooked rice to perfection faster.

The Ekuirio Empire, also known as the opposite of the Kujion due to its peacful enterprising area. The kingdom grew to become the largest and had become the mixture of culture, its capital in Kobe to it farthest point in Kreich had created it a very good trade center, the government had instituted a policy of low taxes and good support of its people. It did not fall due to its large amount of gold and money collected from its huge trade.

The Empire age lasted hundred of years, but a new threat of foreigner invasion had arrived. During the 16th century, traders and Jesuit missionaries from Portugal reached Shushtrepistaz for the first time, initiating direct commercial and cultural exchange between Shushtrepistaz and the West. European technology and firearms had now spread into the culture creating a weapon importation industry that lasted ages. This weapon importation into the Kuinio Empire had caused worry from bordering empires that had also begun importing weapons also, causing one of the first Cold Wars in the world. The Cold War ended abruptly as islands of Kyuiko and Shyushprekitaz had been colonized by the Dutch (1604), creating a reason for these empires to Unite as one, but due to corruption by bribes given to emperors by Dutch Merchants to keep these lands. This process of corruption had lead for over 70 years until the British had started to take over Dutch Territory in Kyuiko and created small town colonies on the main island of Shudon, this had caused anger in the empire of Rykido which had owned this land, and had eventually lead into the only battle every fought between British and Shudonese, the Fuiryo War, also known as the foreigner war, where soldiers equipped with 40 year old weapons had tried to fight the strongest navy of the time. The battle was easily won by the british, and had created a strong hold on the North Western Part of Shushtrepistaz for the British. The British stranglehold did not last long as when the new century turned out the British seeking a more profitable venture started to expand inwards into the rice fields of Shushtrepistaz, where they had been constantly attacked by villagers who launched a Gorilla warfare, where over 200 soldiers had lost their lives, creating a hole for the British, which they could not stand upon. In 1720 The British wounded by this experience left Shushtrepistaz, but not all was the British's fault, but the many Empires who had been weak and corrupted, it was time to unify and all through the land all the kingdoms big and small became one, one nation named Shukkon.

Modern Shushtrepistaz
Up until the 1840's Shushtrepistaz has been a buffer to Japan's Isolation, Japan and Shushtrepistaz for those 200 years had been converging, but never let European influences spread through knowing that it will lead to ill will between the two nations. The nation of Okatabawashi had been Shushtrepistaz's only ally with similar military capacity for the time and Okatabawashi had helped secretly take out British invasions in Shushtrepistaz for the end of the British Occupation in 1645, the nations until 1853, when the British, who had already been taken out of Asia before had started to invade Okatabawashi, in March 31, 1854 Commodore Matthew Perry and the "Black Ships" of the United States Navy forced the opening of Japan to the outside world with the Convention of Kanagawa. Commodore Matthew Perry had also visited the separate state of East Shushtrepistaz after the convention. The Boshin War and the establishment of a centralized state nominally unified under the Emperor (the Meiji Restoration), had lead Shushtrepistaz and Japan's relationship to falter, while creating a huge growth for Okatabawashi and Shushtrepistaz's relationship where trade had become an even larger market between these two nations. The new century had created new difficulty for Shushtrepistaz to reach the world stage, as Shushtrepistaz had not modernized its economic system and relied on agriculture for most of its exports. The creation of large cities where the kingdoms capitals were created hubs for trade and a new prosperous service industry that created a new age of Shushtrepistaz a consumer age. Manufacturing began as more services were required, causing moreover a population revolution where population jumped from 42 million to 62 million in 10 years, due to the advancements of medicine. The Shushtrepistaz economy was prosperous but a war with Japan, that could end its economic growth was brewing, 1911 the Iijus islands, owned by Shushtrepistaz was used by Japanese sailors as a port, creating a competition between the much less powerful Shushtrepistaz Fishers who lived on the land, the Japanese sailors eventually kicked them out, causing an backlash in the two governments relations, but no war happened, Japan under stress from the public gave away the Iijus islands, and forbid Japanese Fishers from using it or the area around it.

The World Wars
WWI made it difficult for Shushtrepistaz to grow economically as a nation, and began to split under itself, creating a new nation of East Shushtrepistaz in 1915, the action had gone peacefully, and the two nations cooperated as one. The 1920 have brought a new era of prosperity for the world, bringing a new population growth in Shushtrepistaz, and a new Manufacturing Sector of Ships, and aircraft. Shushtrepistaz had become a new global power, and its population now at 78.4 million had never felt better. That all changed in the 1930's as a global depression along with Shushtrepistaz's amassed debts had lead it to shut down many programs, causing its depression era to last longer then most other nations. Crime was at an all time high, where weapons policies had been easily ignored, and a wealth gap had arose. Japan now having a weak relation with Shushtrepistaz had shown that if they were going to war it will not be good. The Japanese had already taken over Manchuria, and was looking at Shushtrepistaz for its new lands. 1940, a date Shudonese know as the day Japan attacked, Japan launched a full invasion on the city of Das'gotn, not prepared Das'gotn and its suburbs fell, causing a immediate call of troops from all over Shushtrepistaz to defend its homeland, the call was unanswered as more and more of Shushtrepistaz had been taken over by Japan. A sight of hope came from Angel's Bay, a well fortified Naval Base, which had blocked Japanese Assault up until 1941, where the United States of America had entered the war and started sending ships to aid Shushtrepistaz, meanwhile in Dras'kon, the army had been finally assembled, and started to break through Japanese occupation in Kobe and Kreich, while the Czrik Military Guard took out  Ukato forces. In 1942, the US had broken through and had entered Shushtrepistaz, and had started to march through the nation, the Japanese had been pushed back to Lorang where a final attack in January 14, 1943 ended the Japanese Occupation, the US set a temporary Military Base in Angels Bay. The war was coming to a close in Europe, while the battle in Asia was raging on wards for another few months, until the Atom Bomb was dropped on Japan, the war ended on September 2nd 1945, the day was full of celebration, where thousands massed on the streets of the capital. December 10, 1945 was the day Japan payed reparations to Shushtrepistaz, a new land called South Uroboria owned partially by Syldavia. The following days included a new border proposal with the Syldavian controlled North Uroboria. The summit held in Blaketown lasted 4 days resulting in a new border line that would give more land to Shushtrepistaz on the East (Kegi) side, while giving more land to Syldavia on the West.

Cold War
As WWII slowly fades away into the 1950's Shushtrepistaz is overwhelmed by the reconstruction they would have to do, taking out large loans with the United States, and the USSR. This eventually lead to a minor recession at the end of the 50's but was overshadowed by the new fear, communism, a idea that was prevalent in the  Region of Brenzaltan where the USSR had launched large propaganda schemes on the people of Czrik. Shushtrepistaz responded in large censures in that area, creating its own Propaganda, the US had also tried launching its own anti-communism Propaganda on Shushtrepistaz, causing a split in values, and on July 8, 1958, Brenzaltan declared its independence from Shushtrepistaz, the line was divided on the Shuukon mountains, creating the first split in Shushtrepistaz in 400 years, Brenzaltan had officially become part of the Warsaw Pact in 1960, at the same time Shushtrepistaz joined the Western Bloc, allying with the  United States who had helped Shushtrepistaz launch its Spy program, the United States during this time had given Shushtrepistaz weapons and spy equipment to fight this growing evil, known as Brenzaltan. The first breakthrough in the Spying operations was the revealing of the Zytxchol Nuclear operation, while Brenzaltan after this was announced said it was a Nuclear Power Plant, further research and the invasion in the 1980's showed it was a uranium enrichment plant. As political tensions grew in the mid 60's Shushtrepistaz began investing into Technology Companies like Acuri, the nation had achieved another 1920's a age of population expansion, economic development and scientific advancement. Shushtrepistaz's public education had been revamped creating a new way of teaching students, and a split between religion and state. The government had also started to restart many programs like welfare, and government aided healthcare. Capitalism and acute Socialism was spreading through most of Shushtrepistaz, while Brenzaltan, had began more military programs and a opening of economic borders, its cheap labor work lead it to create a huge hub of manufacturing for the Warsaw Pact, but not all was good for Brenzaltan, a revolt in the north had given back land to Shushtrepistaz in 1974, the same land that had been home to some of Brenzalten's lower level nuclear programs.

Thawing War
The end of the 1970's was a shock as the United States, was now actively training the Shushtrepistaz Military, to fight the Soviets, the United States assumption was correct as on the day of May 25, 1984 the Shushtrepistaz-Brenzaltan War had begun, as Brenzaltan had tried to annex Kobe, Shushtrepistaz Military Forces began to enter Kobe to protect it, the battle had prevented Kobe from being taken over, but the war was not over, Brenzaltan had started a active Bombing campaign on Lorang and Kreich, while the Shushtrepistaz Navy, had began to attack harbors along the Brenzaltan Coast. And had its army attack through the mountains, the war had reached a tipping point when Brenzaltan Threatened to fire Nuclear weapons on Dras'kon, they almost did, but with the help of Syldavian Forces had taken over or secretly dismantled many of the armed Nuclear armed weapons. The war ended on June 19, 1984, when Shushtrepistaz Naval forces and Shushtrepistaz Army Forces had taken over Czrik, forcing the Governing body of Brenzaltan to surrender. The war left many scars on Shushtrepistaz, saying that if Shushtrepistaz was not whole it would fall apart. Some calls were to unite all of Shushtrepistaz, while others mainly East Shushtrepistaz wanted to keep their own way of life. The military was greatly reduced so was taxes, and a record, of Population reaching 100 million was reached. Shushtrepistaz had also began its space program at the end of the 80's launching a few orbiters. As the 80's turn into the 90's the power of Communism had fallen, and the USSR had broken up into many nations. Shushtrepistaz at this point wanted to expand markets into Japan but was rejected for the most part. They also tried to gain relations with China, Kamchatka, Syldavia, and Karasem.

Roaring 90's
The 90's was the greatest time period for Shushtrepistaz, everything was good for it in most Shudonese opinions, the population unlike other time of great advancements increased 12 million, the nation was becoming the economic power it was today. Over a million jobs had opened in the years of 1992-1994, the opening of the Russian States had created new economic opportunities, and as Shushtrepistaz was growing, the nations it aligned with grew, the nation of Syldavia expanded its lumber market to Shushtrepistaz, adding millions into both economies. Okatabawashi's manufacturing industry aided by a large need for semi-processed materials to build fully constructed materials. Shushtrepistaz began talks with nations in the Atlantic like Llithustania with its grand refined materials, and with North American nations like Illu'a for coal. Shushtrepistaz became a household name in many Asian nations, products that were made in China, were now created also in Shushtrepistaz, the name Shushy, had also come up as a side affect, where people, mostly westerners had a hard time to pronounce the long name, creating a Exonym. Shushtrepistaz already in its way to lower its army had begun supplying its navy with new ships from companies like Sokoya and had created a new market for Military Aircraft, an industry overshadowed by American and Veratlantean's thriving aircraft industries. Shushtrepistaz also had a health revolution where hospitals aided by Cold War programs had now been advanced beyond most other nations healthcare system. The welfare system started to become underused due to the large amount of people earning more then what is deemed enough to survive. The education of Shushtrepistaz' people grew after introducing new education levels up to 14, making 12 grades mandatory and 2 extra, a service that was heavily used. Collages received federal funding, but were soon let go. The average life expectancy rose from 68 to 74. Shushtrepistaz began its own nuclear energy program, creating one of the largest nuclear power plants in the world. Shushtrepistaz in the mid 90's had also invested into companies like Shushtrepistaz Energy who had built one of the largest wind farms in the world. Shushtrepistaz started to reach out to the Atlantic hosting talks with nations like Lorenta, the relations between the two nations was ignored for the most part, but the two nations got closer after the only Shudonian Emperor's descendant had started to court a Lorentian. The end of the 90's had started a new age for American Relations with Shushtrepistaz, where hundreds of American industries had begun outsourcing into Shushtrepistaz. President Clinton had visited Shushtrepistaz twice to discuss economic and political alliance, and the creation of a United States Naval base in Ibu Island.

The New Millennium
The new century brought the most confusing time for Shushtrepistaz where, in the beginning was a continuation of the 90's where population reached 130 million people, but loans that Shushtrepistaz had taken out years had finally come back to bite them. The United States had asked for their money back, causing a major shake in the Nations budget, where many years a surplus was held, and the debt was unnoticed had made Shushtrepistaz fall into a minor recession during the largest tech booms in the World, but not all was bad as, the Technology sector grew over 20%, bringing one of the only major profits for a sector until 2003, where international corporations like  McDonalds and  Wal-Mart had entered the nation opening and reviving the services market that originally brought the nation its fame. Coca-Cola had soon entered and is a very prevalent company in Shushtrepistaz where 70% of Shudonese prefer Coca-Cola, and the Das'gotn's Skyline is lighted by the giant advertisement of Coca-Cola on the Aurora Complex. Syldavian companies like ATOM and Molotov have broken through creating their own markets, while companies like Asia Flyer and National Pacific have entered the global market. Das'gotn entered the books as the 3rd Largest city in the world in 2005, loosing the record in 2007. After 9/11 Shushtrepistaz had began an overhaul of their airport networks and train networks, including creating funding for a new High Speed Railway going to most of Shushtrepistaz. This not only created a new spark for Construction companies, which had already been creating superstructures in the mid 2000's. The increase of imports from Syldavia including iron, lithium and natural gas, had also created a route for illegal trade of weed from Sakhalin to inner Shushtrepistaz. 2009 was a crises year for Shushtrepistaz as the whole world was feeling a global recession, many citizens feared that Shushtrepistaz would loose its markets, a breakthrough was reached in early 2010 where after talks with Lorenta lead to a discussion of a International Union of nations that had not been majorly affected by the global recession. Shushtrepistaz entered the Alliance of Independent Nations May 16, 2010, where it had experienced one of the worst outbreaks of flu, known as STS-320, which had destroyed its new ally Fornax, and caused a global disease scare. The flu in most of the world was eradicated in June, but a mutated strain had taken out millions in Fornax. The Shushtrepistaz government had now created itself on as a world power, and as the new decade rolled in with a new president, Shushtrepistaz would experience a new change, a world where everyone was connected, a world where secret operations were harder to conceal.

The New Decade
2011 was a year that was infamous in some aspects, as Shushtrepistaz had began a rapid growth in its military size. The nation had experienced 10 years in the 10 months of February to November, it experience a huge Economic expansion with new trade links with Cattala and the Atlantic Federation, but it had also started a trade war with Galbadia for whos aircraft would run supreme. The nation of Lorenta had fell under the radar for a while until it joined AIN, and Shushtrepistaz's largest airline had merged with 2 other major airlines to form SylOkaSh Airways, domestic companies in Shushtrepistaz like Vp0 arises as super companies on the world stage. And a war in Uroboria will change everything. Soldiers opened fire and killed at least 50 people and wounded several others as tens of thousands of people protested in the East Uroboria against corruption. Poor weather, high fuel costs, Flu and rising demand have contributed to rising prices of rice and other staple foods in much of the world. But in Uroboria, prices of some staples have increased more than 50 percent over the past few weeks. The protesters in East Uroboria on Monday included women and children who marched against the refusal of many shopkeepers to accept the country's old 1,000 notes, which are worth 74 U.S. cents. Many of the protesters blamed the shopkeepers' refusal to honor the bills for sharply rising prices. Shortly after the beginning of that demonstration, tens of thousands of people took to the streets, hurling stones that smashed the windshields of several cars and buses. Demonstrators threw rocks at shops and chaos erupted at the city's main market. Hundreds of shops and restaurants in east uroboria closed their doors for fear of looting. Fears of a collapse of a government in East Uroboria and the conflict that has risen in all of Uroboria, have created a problematic situation for states that have interest in Uroboria Island. Many people in Uroboria demanded AIN Nations to enter the region for peace mission. The rebellion originally started for high food prices became a war for freedom from Uroboria, the peace missions had become war missions, as the Hiigarian Military intervened bombing Kegi and most of East Uroboria. The war lasted months with no end in sight, as a new threat of spies had arose as Catalian spies had been spotted in Uroboria and were suspected in being in both Hiigara and Shushtrepistaz, this new threat to national security caused the Shudonese government to end relations with Cattala, even forcefully shutting down companies allied with it, like Shushtrepistaz Energy. In late september Shushtrepistaz, Hiigara and Syldavia formed an alliance known as the Pizen Pact, and later had put Cattala on trial for spy charges, the charges were dropped and no international sanctions had been placed, but Shushtrepistaz and Syldavia had both placed their own sanctions on Cattala and its allies. In the last months Shushtrepistaz's Conservative Party  had tried to restore peace with Cattala.
