History of Gerenia

The territory of Gerenia has been inhabited for many years before the arrival of the Gerenian people. The area has been a key centre of East Slavic culture, of which several aspects have remained up to the present day.

Gerenia was founded in July, 2012, as the Gerenian Colony of New Calarma. Since then, the country has struggled for becoming an economic and militar power in Apollonia, however, a weak government and a crisis in late 2013 have thwarted the Nation from achieving a sustained development.

Early history

Human settlement in the area dates back to the days when Treesia expanded to Northern Apollonia. The Treesian culture flourished in the lands north of the Camoleo. The whole region later fell under Slobovian control.

After Slobovia was disbanded, Novaya Zemlya was founded. The nation reached a high level of development, as some of its cities' ruins have been preserved (and, in some cases, Gerenian cities were founded upon riuns of such settlements: Mariaville near Jiangshan, Balyada on Vilchermansk, San Andrés on Zhivagovsk, and Port Alțiun on Alexeigrad. Following the end of Novaya Zemlya, a number of its former citizens migrated in different directions, while others stayed, and the land remained unclaimed until the establishment of Landingberg, a constituent nation of the United Commonwealth. According to the census conducted in Gerenia during late 2012, approximately 9% of its inhabitants are of Novaya Zemlyan descent.

Other nations that were established in the area were Amoria, the Students' Isocratic Oligarchy of Yabloko, and the Republic of Kozuc. The latter was dissolved soon before the arrival of the Gerenian people in Northern Apollonia.
