Futurama: Nationstates:After the Revolution

I've been at it again. Good old me ey? I've made a short time line of Zedoljev and it's origins if anyone's interested.... I may draw a map of the Urallian Empire in this region soon

Time line of Zedoljev and its origins.

C1200 BL: Urallian Empire formed far beyond the Shrimpkin Ocean. Their Capital is Yekateringrad.
C550 BL: Vital Urallian Traders come under attack by pirates in Morbo Strait on the way from Urallia to Servivia, beyond the Decapodian Ocean.
C540 BL: Vote in Imperial Senate to protect Traders by force. Initial escorts prove effective defence but very expensive. In a bold move, Imperator Alexi Ilivich builds up forces to invade the countries around the Morbo Strait. He argues that with the extra resources and the safeguarding of the Morbo Strait, the benefits will greatly outstrip the initial expenses.
532-525 BL: Urallian expeditionary forces drop off on landmasses around Sea of Seymour. They form beach-heads on Tkheeknya (Modern-day Tweeklandia), Graznaya (New Continent), and Zedoliev (Zedoljev, several Mayatland Islands and Wells-Ville)
525-499 BL: Urallian forces on Tkheeknya are restricted to only a few dozen miles inland from the coast due to heavy local resistance. The Senate does not sanction greater invasion troops, instead demands the Imperator only send enough to maintain a strong Garrison at the Coastal Fort of Chenoy from which the Navy can keep a safe watch over the surrounding forces. Meantime troops on Graznaya and Zedoliev find more success, pushing north. After fierce battles on several large islands between Urallian forces and so-called “barbarians”, Urallia lays claim to the entire Morbo Strait. Trade flows with much greater safety. Time of Prosperity. Small colonies are set up in the area known today as Nurdbotia.
491 BL: Urallian forces set up Zendivostok as their base of operations for Zedoliev. Resources from the Island begin to pour back to the Empire. Zedoliev starts to become a colony for the Empire, with many citizens flocking there. Graznaya and definitely Tkheeknya remain military only areas.
441 BL: Urallians set up the northern city of Zvezdanaya on the site of modern-day Hunky Dory.
C430 BL: Pirates begin strikes on careless Urallian convoys again in the sea of Seymour. Naval forces are unable to catch them in the act.
425 BL: A Urallian ship follows pirate forces back to a port on Tkheeknya. Imperator Dmitri Dzhosefich demands troops to invade and capture the rest of the island regardless of cost. Senate uneasily agrees.
421 BL: The campaign is a complete disaster, thousands of troops die for little advancement. Naval forces bombard the Pirate dock and heavily damage it, but at great cost to ships and men.
420 BL: Furious citizens demonstrate at appalling loses in the Morbo Strait countries. The Imperator is murdered by his bodyguard. Young new Imperator Sergei Timovich promises great victories. Pirates are still attacking traders in Seymour Sea.
It is around this time that foreign countries begin to attack Urallian interests in the North of the Empire. Urallian attention is shifted to the North.
C400 BL: Troops on Zedoliev face attacks by natives in the north of the island.
394 BL: 2 legions are slaughtered in an ambush in north Zedoliev. Other attacks start on interests in Graznaya.
392 BL: Zvezdanaya falls under attack for the first time.
C376 BL: Two Provinces of North Urallia fall. Zvezdanaya is attacked for a second time.
376-370 BL: Fierce battles across the Empire. More fighting on Tkheeknya and Graznaya. Imperials on Graznaya begin to be pushed back to the southern coast.
368 BL: New Imperator Ivan Sergeivich lives up to his father’s previous promise and leads many successful campaigns over the next 50 years. Urallian Empire begins to settle down once more. Counter attacks on Zedoliev and Graznaya are victorious. Similar attempts on Tkheeknya fail to work as planned. Zvezdanaya falls under siege, but quick thinking Gubernators get help from local Garrisons and the siege is destroyed and the enemy armies sent fleeing. Despite numerous skirmishes on Tkheeknya, the region becomes relatively peaceful for several decades.
342 BL: Gubernator Tarkita’s Grand Library is completed in Zedivostok.
312 BL: Imperator Ivan Sergeivich dies of old age. His replacement is murdered within 4 months. A brief power struggle ensures.
311 BL: Imperator Goran Stefanovich rules for nearly 80 years. His reign is peaceful and wise; the Empire remains largely unchanged. Zedoliev’s population increases to grow. Fighting on Tkheeknya subsides, though any thought of further encroaching by Imperial troops into the Island is out of the question.
235 BL: Imperator Goran Stefanovich dies. A troubled period begins with 5 different Imperators over the next 21 years.
229 BL: The Civilisation of Servivia is destroyed in bizarre set of both natural and man-made circumstances. A key trade link is lost forever.
214 BL: Imperator Boris Ilivich is ruler, but is weak and unwise.
213 BL: Attacks on the Empire start again in the north.
210 BL: Calls to abandon the Seymour Sea are narrowly defeated in the Senate. Zedoliev is considered a valuable asset. Graznaya and Tkheeknya will be held to guarantee safe passage between the two.
205 BL: Zvezdanaya is attacked again.
204 BL: Imperator Boris Ilivich is murdered. New Imperator Alexander Mikhailovich rules with an iron fist. The Empire’s fortunes begin to improve again. A Brutal but effective regime rules for 143 years. Ruler-ship is hereditary for first time in several centuries. Various Senators speak out but are dead soon after.
154 BL: Foreign Army from Darmenia rides 1600 kilometres through the Empire to within 100 miles of Yekateringrad. Although eventually either completely destroyed or captured, the fact that the army made it that far sends ripples through out the Empire.
More attacks on Imperial borderlands over the next few decades.
61 BL: Bloody Revolution. Regime is thrown out and its leaders executed.
54 BL: Various military defeats for the Urallians. More provinces are either badly pillaged or completely lost.
32 BL: Wide spread plague ravages the Urallian region. Both her and many other countries are badly effected. The Seymour Sea countries are not reached by the plague though.
11 BL: Routes between Zedoliev and the colonies on the mainland of New Europe become very dangerous.
8 BL: Naval battles off Tkheeknya. Enemy is still classed as “Pirate” but in truth it was the native Navy of Tweeklandia they were fighting.
6 BL: Native forces destroy several forward posts on Tkheeknya.
5 BL: Battles between Urallian troops and Well-Villians in north Zedoliev.
3 BL: Urallia proclaims itself a Holy Empire of Orthodox Christianity.
1 BL: More battles in the north of the Empire.

206 AD: Urallian forces almost literally falling out of Darmenia.
207 AD: Urallian forces meet with more success in the south of the Empire, but in the north, the Darmenian successful rout of Urallians doesn’t stop at the border. Troops from behind the front begin to be pulled back from Zedoliev.
205 AD: Darmenian forces raze the large Urallian city of Tnepraka. Most of the citizens fall into slavery. More outrage and riots in Yekateringrad.
225 AD: Beginning of the end, the southern Urallian armies are defeated. Armies are seemingly attacking Urallia from all sides. Urallian armies fall right back to defend the home cities, leaving thousands of defenceless people to their fate. Links between Zedoliev and other colonies on the mainland of New Europe are severed completely. Urallian colonies in the area of Nurdbotia are left to fend for themselves.
245 AD: Darmenian forces slaughtered in rag-tag Urallian ambush, 150 miles north of Yekateringrad. Lana escapes. Most of the Empire is long lost though.
250 AD: More attacks on Tkheeknya. Troops in retreat on the north of Zedoliev.
256 AD: Zvezdanaya can no longer be protected and most of its population flee south.
260 AD: Tkheeknya is completely abandoned. Only the south of Zedoliev Island and south Graznaya remain. Most of the troops from Tkheeknya are taken back to defend the homelands.

268 AD: Zvezdanaya is completely abandoned, the Urallians fall back to the south.
270 AD: The remains of Zvezdanaya is flattened by native armies. They construct the city of Hunky Dory in its place
271 AD: The Situation in mainland Urallia is extremely grim. A ship arrives in Zendivostok carrying a VIP – the infant daughter of the Imperator, Anya. A desperate attempt to save her, though Zedoliev is no safe bet either.
272 AD: Imperial forces on Graznaya are driven into the sea. Very few survive. The remaining Urallians on Zedoliev are very nervous.
273 AD: The Urallian fleet is eradicated off the coast of Vostok Island in the dying days of the year.
274 AD: The corrupt Gubernator takes one of the few remaining ships of the fleet and flees. Anya remains. The Gubernator promises ships will come to rescue the people of Zedoliev. They don’t.
Not that it would have made much difference, but the Gubernator is later lost at sea.
General Bukharin assumes control of the last remaining Urallia in the area. He pulls all of them to south Zedoliev.
275 AD: Mayatilian forces takes Vostok Island.
276 AD: Bukharin takes it back.
278 AD: Bukharin admits to the people that the north of the Island is lost and that they are alone, but the same fate will not befall them.
C290 AD: Another plague in mainland Urallia seals its doom. Yekateringrad is sacked on several occasions.
C295 AD: Urallia falls completely. Zedoliev is the last outpost of the entire Empire. The plague spreads north and proceeds to devastate Darmenia. It falls several years later to the newer Ukranitsan Empire.
299 AD: News of the fall of Urallia reaches Zedoliev via refugees. Bukharin is killed in battle north of Toragrad. Anya assumes role as, at first slightly unpopular, Imperatka of the Urallian Colony of Zedoliev. Her armies hold the ground and she instigates policies of rebuilding the fleet.
300 AD: Pirate insurgents raid Anya’s convoy as she is travelling in the south of the country and holds her to ransom. Anya remarkably fights her ways free, and in a characteristic response, ransoms the pirates for their leader’s head. This boost in moral for her people does wonders, and in the following years, her armies find many successes in battle, though most of these are in defence. Soon the area begins to settle and attacks are not so common.
365 AD: Anya dies. A 5-year power-struggle results in a nil-nil draw. Zedoliev ceases to exist, most of the territory becomes bitterly disputed tiny Tsardoms.
445 AD: Attacks begin again in the south.
450 AD: The Tsardom of Zlancha is destroyed by foreign forces. Surrounding Tsardoms refused to help.
451 AD: Tsar Gagarin of the very powerful House of Slichanya (rulers of Zendivostok) calls for re-unification of the Tsardoms to face the foreign threat. In an inspiring plea, almost all of the Tsardoms agree to join together for the time being. However, Gagarin’s greatest opponent, Rykov of the House of Traplavich, refuses on principle and threatens to undermine the alliance, claiming it’s a ploy for Gagarin to seize control of the entire area. Rykov is later murdered while he slept. Responsibility is claimed by the House of Uchenitsa, rulers of Dneptravosk (and allies of Slichanya). With Rykov conveniently removed, Gagarin went to untie the Tsardoms under the banner of The United Tsardoms of Former Urallia. These new armies and fleets combined together to repel all attacks over the next few decades. Although he still claimed to be a figurehead of an alliance of other Tsardoms, in truth he was the first leader of the entire country since Anya and everyone knew it really.
453 AD: Military campaigns are so successful that there is talk of attempting to retake the surrounding former lands of the old Empire, but it doesn’t happen since the Alliance falls out over who would rule the new territories. Invaders start coming from the north of the Island.
456 AD: Gagarin’s only son, Yuree is slain in battle north of Toragrad. Gagarin is devastated and never really recovers.
460 AD: Gagarin dies of pneumonia. The Alliance agrees to accept Gagarin’s only other child, Nikita, as leader of the alliance, since the foreign threat is still there and also as a mark of respect to the great leader. Nikita at first is slightly lost, but she soon becomes a great leader.
477 AD: Well-Villian armies defeated north of Toragrad, Nikita and the ruler of Wells-Ville agree to set the border lines of the two countries at practically the same lines they are today. It is an edgy agreement, and Wells-Ville demands to retain the tip of Vostok Island, so it can guarantee the safety of shipping in the estuary at the top of the Island.
480 AD: Nikita makes peace with the Sultan in Mayatland. This is almost a fatal mistake, as several local Tsars demand an end of the alliance, though that would also jeopardise the peace with Wells-Ville and Mayatland. Their stand is quashed however. Nikita is effectively Tsarina of Former Urallia for the next 39 years
511 AD: Nikita dies. Her son Illyushin takes power. A small rebellion is staged but put down. Illyshin’s reign is unquestioned.
545 AD: Illyushin dies and his first son Kamarov takes over. Kamarov’s reign is short as in…
552 AD: Kamarov dies of illness. Rikat I is now Tsar. His reign is long, but all of his children die in infancy.
590 AD: Rikat I dies of a sudden illness without naming an heir. End of the Slichanya. The Tsardoms are thrown into all out war to claim who shall rule them. A bloody state of affairs commences for nearly a hundred years.
678 AD: The first Civil War is over after the House of Uchenista defeats her enemies at the battle of Maryavostok. Elanor I proclaims her self Tsarina of Zedoljev. Zedoljev becomes a Matriarchy.
811 AD: RCOTG flourishing on the main land of New Europe.
905 AD: Marya III has only a boy survive her, Dmitri I, and he is quick to reverse Zedoljev into a Tsardom.
1105 AD: Dmitri IV’s rule is challenged by a local Baron, Rikat.
1110 AD: Dmitri is murdered. Rikat takes the throne, becoming Rikat II.
1120 AD: Rikat II sends his second youngest son, Fredric, to Nixorbania to study.
1123 AD: Young Fredric meats Linda, a local girl who he falls in love with regardless of the social gap.
1130 AD: Rikat II becoming very unpopular, after various bad moves. Zedoljev at war with Mayatland again.
1132 AD: Fredric recalled from Nixorbania, after tensions between the two countries begin to rise. Fredric takes Linda with him.
1133 AD: Zedoljev at war with Tweeklandia. Rikat II instantly dislikes Linda, and accuses her of souring Fredric against him.
1135 AD: Zedoljev and Nixorbania fall out. Rikat banishes Linda, Fredric never sees her again and never forgives his father.
1136 AD: Fredric put in charge of Dneptravosk, which he begins to mould into his own. Tweeklandia and Mayatland at war with each other.
1137 AD: Rikat seizes the moment after hearing that Tweeklandia and Mayatland fleets were engaging each other off the coast and sends the Zedoljev fleet to destroy them. The fleet is destroyed and Tweeklandia and Mayatland join forces against them. People of Zedoljev are fuming. Fredric distances himself from his father.
1138 AD: More defeats for Zedoljev. The people stage an open rebellion to oust Rikat II. Fredric declares him and his city neutral, though supplied the Rebels with resources and support. The Rebels succeed in forcing Rikat and the royal family into exile on the south Zedoljan islands. They permit Fredric to stay in his city and not try to take control of the country. Fredric agrees. The new leadership of the People’s Free Zedoljev immediately sues Tweeklandia and Mayatland for peace. Zedoljev is completely humiliated. Support for the actual Rebellion starts to waver.
1141 AD: Rikat II drums up support and invades the rest of Zedoljev. The Rebellion is crushed. Rikat arrives at Dneptravosk and demands allegiance from his son. Fredric refuses. Dneptravosk is besiege by Royalist forces. Fredric captures the Royalist Captain and holds him to ransom. The army storms the city but is defeated. Fredric declares himself independent of his father completely. Rikat disowns him. The Principality of San Fredlando is formed, though not officially recognised by Zedoljev for many years.

Not quite finished yet. I thought I'd just include up to the formation of San Fredlando. Hehe.
