Etymology

The name for Anserisa comes from the princely House of Anserisa which unified the three counties in 1443 and ruled from 1443-1700 and 1713-1792.

History

Main article: History of Anserisa (Pacifica)

Proof of inhabitants from before 1201 has been found in many places on all three islands but significantly on Haliétusa. It is thought that these people were nomadic and seafearers that moved from islands to islands since traces of similar items were found on the surronding islands of the Rainbow Islands.

Three Counties of the Northern Isles

Before 1201, the islands were controlled by various clans and families, in 1201, the Anserisum family emerged as the most prosperous family on the island of Branta and conquered the other families, establishing the County of Branta on the island of the same name. This process was soon followed on the other islands, inspired by the success of the Brantum family, the Haliétusum family established the County of Concordia in 1234 on the island of Haliétusa and the Rubeculum family established the County of Hydrargyro in 1310 on the island of Rubecula. This is seen as the last event founding the period known today as the Three Counties of the Northern Isles.

The counties had few relations among themselves, centered mostly around the arranged marriages which guaranteed a relative peace on the islands with the three counties. In 1387, the three counties met in Concordia and established the first treaty of the islands, which is considered as the first founding document of Anserisa. It established the first integrated political structure with Envoys from each county meeting once a year, which became the basis for the Council of Regions, equal in numbers, the Envoys had discussions on matters that affected the three islands as a whole and vetoed decisions taken by any county that would disrupt the peace on the islands. By 1421, this system proved to be somewhat inefficient, especially with the County of Branta gaining more power over the others with its technological advance and especially its port. This grew into tensions which exploded when Count Augusto of Branta without an heir on 2nd December 1433.

In 1434, the Count Césario of Hydrargyro

Principality of Anserisa

The Principality of Anserisa is the first unified state on the islands and was founded on 2nd June 1443, when Stéphano Anserisum took control of the islands and was crowned Prince Stéphano I of Ansersia. This event is considered to be the founding date of Anserisa and is celebrated yearly as Prince Stéphano I Day. It is also the founding point of the House of Anserisa, the ruling house for the most of the Anserisan history.

The reign of Princess Geneva is considered to be the golden age of Anserisa, with a reign of 50 years, the nation saw great development especially in culture and arts and its at that moment that the Anserisan language developed to be what we know today, with the creation of the Anserisana Académia that regulates the Anserisan language.

In 1700, the House of Anserisa stopped being the ruling house when the House of Corvuma and Prince Octavio I took control after the sudden death of Prince Stéphano V. Only ruling for 13 years, the House of Corvuma was deposed in 1713 by Prince Stéphano VI, reinstating the House of Anserisa on the throne.

In 1790, following revolts that started a year earlier, Prince Urbano II abdicated in favor of his son, Prince Urbano III. The revolts were led by republicans that wanted to install a republic on the islands. Led by Hadriano Aquilum, the revolts would continue during the reign of Prince Urbano III. In 1792, Urbano III was executed and the republicans took control but were betrayed by Hadriano Aquilum who proclaimed himself Emperor of Anserisan and the creation of the Anserisan Empire.

Anserisan Empire

People consider the reign of Hadriano to be one of great technological advancement. Science and technology was heavily subsidized by the Emperor and there was a great development in infrastructures and public works. Sanitation was implemented in all municipalities and railroad works began. But for all the great achievements, Hadriano was a cruel emperor who was executing a lot of opponents. By 1810, new republican revolts began and were heavily repressed until 1815, when Hadriano was overthrown.

Republic of Anserisa

The Republic of Anserisa was proclaimed on 21st September 1815 by Calpurnio Fabricium, the first President of Anserisa that voluntarily stated his mandate to be of one year only.

Since 1815, the Republic of Anserisa is a nation that has developed great democratic practices. Its constitution was adopted in 1815 and has not changed since. People are calling for a reform of the republic, mostly the election of the President which is still being indirectly elected.
