History of the Fejderand Republique d'Áskorza

The earliest recorded settlement of the western coast of Quilvoria was in 13,010BC. The early settlement thought to be from Eastern Europe thrived in the area known today as Sanvoria, they ruled a area half the size of the current state for 10,000 years. The settlers [known then as Áskorza] split into mutliple factions upon the murder of the then emperor. The murdered emperor's family and supporters fled east to settle in modern-day Ashworth, the Fontrajn faction thrived on the sheltered southern coast and returned to strength. Áskorza descended into chaos as the factions fought over land in the west and north of modern-day Ashton by 28AD the 92 factions [independent states] were in financial ruin and chaos, Fontrajn made their move across the water to a mysterious uninhabited island and set up a secondary settlement. As Fontrajn increased not only in population but wealth thanks to the emperor's families links with Europe and Asia, they built an unrivaled army and Emperor Tivor set out a goal to unite Áskorza once more under the new name of Ástén. Ashton was born. Over the next 500years the Ástén empire expanded north and west until in 986AD only 3factions remained. Áskorza, Dantreki and Janiti. Ástén's power on the emerging international stage grew and in 1285 the Great North War broke out that saw Dantreki defeated and the land become part of Áskorza and Ástén. The two great powers lived side by side in peace until Áskorza laid claim over some former Dantreki land in 1602. The ensuing Áskorza War is Buzzjack's deadliest. 81million people perished in the 63year conflict, in 1663 the Ástén forces reached the Áskorzan capital and two years later Operation DanKorza saw the execution of the Áskorzan president and Áskorza fell. 1892 saw Botanikka and Ástén went to war over the Fontrajn island teritory, which was officially named Saynher Janslic in 1509. The island passed hands over the years and in 2003 an Áskorzan factionwon independence for half the island after 30years of Botanikkan rule. Saynher Janslic entered BJSC under their english title Fotherington Islands in 2007, shortly after which the island was officially re-entered into Ástén. A referendum of Islanders over Ástén reunification returned a 98.12% Yes vote. In 2008 Janiti became part of Ástén after a 189year battle. Ashtonise forces cut vital supply routes and the rebel faction was cut off by the international world after Ashton leaked documents showing it's terrorism and rebel links in 2001, the troops slowly moved into the country in 2003 and by 2006 had control of 85% of the nation. The remainder fell just 18months later. Yanthington [Janiti] is undergoing a rebuilding process after years of war [Yanthington surrounded Janiti, and the country was merged with the state after troops moved into the country in 2003]. Modern Day Ástén is more commonly known by it's english name, Ashton. Ashton ranks highly in the standard of living scales by the UN, it's among the top3 in the world for Education, Healthcare and Overall Standard Of Living. The Ashtonise economy is the 4th largest in the world, and is the largest country by population in Buzzjack. The highly developed nation primarily lives in urban areas, and has the worlds strictest immigration laws. Public Transport is made up of Trains, Buses, underground rail systems and Trams. By law every city with a population of over 1million must have a busway network in place. All major sign posts, legal notices and security notices are displayed in English and Ashtonise throughout the country. The Áskorza family is still in power and the country has undergone major reforms under Emperor Silas including a move to democracy and opening up of various industries to competition. Ashtonise Law dictates all major companies are at least 49% State owned, Broadcasters are 65% State owned [SNÁ and AMC are 100% State owned] and Airlines are 75% state owned [Qantash is 100% state owned, most are 95-99% state owned].

To celebrate 15,000years since the first settlement of Ashton, the country is set to change it's name back to Áskorza. The English name will remain as Ashton, although it is unknown if Áskorza will be used in BJSC as part of Emperor Silas' move to renationalise the country.
