The Imperial Republic of Moocow123450 is a nation that has recently endured great setbacks as well as great triumphs. It has participated in many important events since being founded, including both World Wars. It has also been conquered by France during the Napoleonic wars in which it lost all of its colonies in the Americas; a similar action happened after the defeat in World War I except that the colonies this time were in Africa.

Ancient History

Prehistoric times

Fossil evidence suggested that the first humans arrived at the island at around 8000 BCE. From the island, they started to hunt and gather. However, this soon proved to be difficult and humans eventually turned to fishing around 5000 BCE. They also started to farm around 4500 BCE before any written records were taken. Their first language was created in 4200 BCE, but it is impossible to find a way to translate it. Soon, around 4000 BCE, city-states started to become the dominant power in the region.

Early Civilization

Evidence suggest that humans created civilization on the island in about 4000 BCE. From there, they started to build a small collection of city-states and create the official religion of the region at the time, Bovemism. However, in around 2000 BC, these city-states began to decline in power, eventually leading to the tribal system that explorers eventually found the island in. It is unknown why the city-states declined, but historians theorize that it is most likely due to issues with food supply, causing everyone to have to focus on getting food. Another popular theory is that they had no weapons or a poor military and were conquered. This, however, is proven to be problematic as weapons were found on the island dating back to this time. Most historians accept the food theory as to why Moocow123450 eventually became tribal based.

Early History

Founding of Moocow123450

Originally, the island of Moocow123450 was ruled under a tribal system; they managed to live in relative isolation well into the Middle Ages. However, around 1016 AD, more and more explorers started to visit the island. Finally, in 1013, a large population from a different island invaded this island. The tribes living here, later called Moocow 1, Moocow 2, Moocow 3, Moocow 4, Moocow 5, and Moocow 0, had to create an increasingly centralized government to drive back invaders. Eventually, these tribes unified under a single centralized government. They then drove the invaders back and staged a counterattack, conquering the island that they came from. However, there was another invader at work. The nation Cowman123450, now a Moocowian puppet, was also invading. This began a long rivalry between the two nations that would not be solved until the end of the 20th century when Moocow123450 invaded and occupied Cowman123450, eventually installing a puppet government and leaving.

The Golden Age

Soon after this, Moocow123450 began to under a golden age. This was brought about by a sudden influx of trade after living in isolation for so long; new ideas could easily spread around. In Moocowian literature, this era was known as the era of excitement. After finally relearning the arts of writing, in New Moocowian script, many Moocowian authors put in more exciting and faster paced plots rather than focusing on plots more focused on arts. In addition, painting and songwriting became more and more prevalent in daily life. During this period of the Middle Ages, Moocow123450 was considered the cultural center of Europe.
