History of Summers Land

Pre-Imperial History

Summers Land started as a small village settlement in the River Katyu. It composed of different villages that formed unions and alliances. In the early 12th century, the Zoralandiem Evolution started. The village settlement has grown into a sizable group. They started to conquer nearby villages and further expanded their territory.

Impeiri Zoralande

After years of expansion, a man named Astringom Barteme establishes the Zoralandiem Empire (or Impeiri Zoralande). Being an eminent figure in the original village settlement and the commander of the village forces, his establishment had a huge popular support. Due to that, he was also named "Gophrame Ziffe ei Impeiri" or the Supreme Chief of Empire. Multiple chiefs ruled the empire who helped improve the military and civilian conditions of the empire.

By the 1750s under the rule of Castivie Mortellami, campaigns against other empires have started. Nearby empires were easily taken by the Zoralande Empire. But one empire matched their power, the empire of Minronia. Years of attempts to conquer the empire but none of them succeeded.

Zoralande-Minronian Empire

After failed attempts to take the Minronian Empire, Barteme finally decided to negotiate with the Minronians. This resulted to the Zoralande-Minronian Empire. At first the imperial union seemed to be successful, but it turned out to be false. Just after a few months, the Minronian Revolution started. Multiple fronts ravaged the Minronian territory until the government lost and the revolutionists came to power. The union comes to an end, although a small offensive managed to take back a small territory back to Zoralande.

Kingdom of Zumter Lande

The empire changed into a monarchy and formed the Kingdom of Zumter Lande. Its first king is King Grolle I, a commander from the former empire. Under his rule, he successfully took back the whole Minronia. And later, he invades a nearby empire called Vonderlich.

Democratic Republic of Summers Land

King Grolle I abolished the monarchy and turned the kingdom into a democratic republic. But the republic was short-lived as it was taken down by the Red Revolution six years after its establishment. The leader of the revolution was Graldi Dusman, a communist polotician.

Communist Era

After Dusman's revolt, the region of Kastiliria was the first to fall. In there they established the People's Republic of Kastiliria. Two years after, and the whole country falls under the hands of Dusman's revolution. Thus, the People's Republic of Summers Land was formed. Dusman became the ruler of the country together with the Communist Party of Summers Land. Although he ruled as a dictator, the industry in Summers Land flourished. But other than that, oppression and torture by the government was still common. Few uprisings were immediately crushed by the government.

Socialist Era

In the middle of 1948, a "friend" of Dusman named Alverti Chrushadier lead a coup d'etat against Dusman. Dusman was brutally taken from his office to the presidential façade and was forced by Chrushadier to give a public apology to the people and to live radio broadcast. Later he was killed by Chrushadier.

After that, Chrushadier replaces the government into a social democratic republic and proclaims himself the new leader of the country. Being against Dusman, he was praised and supported by the people. But after a few months under his rule, his popularity fell due to his proclamations. He turned out to be a worse dictator than Dusman. Widespread famine and violence ravaged Summers Land and government oppression worsened. This timespan was called by the people as the "Alvertian Era". Living standards fell and millions of people were forced into labor camps.

The New Era

After almost 30 years under Chrushadier's brutal rule, the 1956 Red Revolution breaks off. Millions of people protested in front of the presidential palace. Chrushadier called the military but unfortunately, for him, the military sided with the people. People crashed inside the palace and brutally dragged Chrushadier out of his office and beat him to death. This marked the end of the dark Socialist era of Summers Land.

After the successful revolution, the opposition leader named Blastovi Ceshtania assumed office after a snap election. He astonishingly received 97.83% of the votes. He instituted a new democratic government and enforced multiple land reform programs. He passed acts concerning civil rights and welfare for the people. And after years of debate by the new government, a law was passed that brought back the social democratic government. This time, however, the government was successful. Multiple presidents ruled Summers Land and more reforms were implemented. Since then Summers Land's economy grew and living standards greatly improved. Government reforms were also implemented in favor to the people. The latest reform was instituted this 2015 under Vittorio Alleschpetzer by turning the government type into a federal republic.
