The United Republics of Seketan and Jacland, shortened to Seketan and Jacland or Seketan-Jacland, abbreviated URS, is a sovereign state in the Nelborne Union composed of four constituent countries: Seketan, Jacland, South Seketan, and Nordereiland.
Historically, Seketan and Jacland was home to Mi'kanness aboriginal people and the Nordic Secens people who settled in the land around the 800s. The two groups became isolated from the rest of Europe. They formed their own unique Seketese and Jacish cultures. Colonization by France and England (eventually the United Kingdom) would shape linguistics in the land and culture.
Seketan was conquered by the Kingdom of Alquiya when it was the Kingdom of Seketan. Jacland remained a colony but gained peaceful independence in 1901 under the name Dominion of Jacland. Seketan continued to have its own language and would later split from Alquiya in 1947 following the Seketese War of Independence. The two nations, among two others, would unite in 2015.
History
Early History
The Nelborne islands as a whole was first inhabited by aboriginals, particularly the nomadic Mi'kenese in the Jacish Isles. The arrival of the Secens and the Norse in the 800s driven much of the native population to the main island of Jacland. The Secens peoples set up villages and rarely engaged in European politics.
The Secens people would later be the foundation for modern Seketese culture. Upon the arrival of French settlers in the early 1500s, Kingdom of Seketan would be formed in 1601 to resists French occupation. The Kingdom would not be official recognized until 1654 when France agreed to stay out of Seketese civil affairs, whilst still being the "sovereign state".
During the 1600s, the Jacish isles were relentlessly colonized by the British and the Mi'kenese were shoved aside in favour for British interests. The French and British would fight over the lands, with France gaining most of the control.
During this time, the formation of the Old Seketese language and the westernization of Seketan and Jacland was occurring. English became the dominant language in Jacland, with French and Old Seketese mostly spoken in Seketan.
Alquiyan Annexation
In 1694, the newly established Kingdom of Alquiya would annex the Kingdom of Seketan, making Seketan one of the respectable provinces in the Alquiyan kingdom. While revolt was seen at first, the people became content with the Alquiyan kingdom, as the many leaders of Alquiya a the time respected Seketese culture and language.
The loss of French land in Seketan loosened tension between the Jacish British colonies and the French Seketese colonies. Eventually, all French territory would be lost in the Nelborne Islands due to Alquiyan annexation.
