Dacia (Pacifica)

The Kingdom of Dacia (Dacian: Regatul Daciei) Is a nation in Northwestern Bailtem. It has a predominantly tropical climate, and an area of 376,909 km² (145,525 sq mi) and a population of around 22 Million. The capital and largest city is Pătrașcugrad. Other important urban centers include Peirenes, Păuşeşti-Măglaşi, Diniaşi, Stefanesti, Moldoveana, Mihaila Iulia, Flendura,Visavodium and Kolnita. The Galanu river flows through the center of the country's mainland, essentially cutting it into 2 distinct cultural zones. The tallest mountain is Moldoveanu Peak in the Carpathian Mountains to the North, at an altitude of 2,544 m. The nation was the home of the First and Second Dacian Empires, which were both regional powers excelling at multiple things. However, the 2nd Empire fell by 1877 as Slave revolts and economic stagnation plagued the nation. The nation participated in the Great War (Pacifica), between 1950 and 1955. Shortly after, the Dacian Civil War would break out between Communists and Monarchists, which would end in the monarchists establishing a stronghold in Argevan.The 1989-1990 Dacian Revolution saw the return of the Monarchy-in-exile in Paltorina, and liberalization of the economy. Dacia is a developed nation, with a high-income economy. New Dacia has seen rapid economic growth in recent years. Its most important industry is Agriculture (consisting largely of Coffee, Cocoa and Sugar), with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, Trout fishing, Lumber, Arms Manufacturing and Dairy exports. The nation is a major exporter of Oil and Gas, however it's electricity grid is dominated by Nuclear (67%) and Hydropower (29%). The nation is a member of the World Assembly. The majority of its population speak Dacian, a speech/dialect in the Tarnese Language group. Aegean is the 2nd most spoken language, mostly in the coastal areas. It is spoken by roughly 10% of the population. Many Aegean families came from the Rainbow Islands during Imperial times as merchants.

Dacia was the name of a former civilization in the west of the modern nation. Many of its influences today can still be seen. The name had stuck with the people of the area, as they called themselves ''Dacians'' or ''Dacics''.

History

Ancient Dacia

The first modern humans came to inhabit the lands now under Dacian territory in around 10,000 BCE, at the same time of the agricultural revolution. The Gávealea culture dominated these lands, living along the Western coast of Northwestern Bailtem and the Galanu river. In 4000 BCE, People living in Dacia begun migrating across Bailtem, creating many different but culturally/linguistically-related clans, also known as the Tarnese. Stoinia (Pacifica), among other nations, were a result of this migration. microscopic city states and communities would characterize the Bronze age in Dacia. Writing was first developed in 3000 BC among the Galanu Delta city states of Byarochyn and Ianria. However, the river valley was commonly invaded by outsider (mostly Rijk) peoples, leading to a weaponised society, especially in Dacian clans not directly on the Galanu river.

A warlord known as Sadalas would conquer much of the river valley in the 2400's, establishing the shortlived Sadalian Dynasty. However, by the next century, the dynasty's control would be greatly reduced, leading to its outright extinction by 2000 BC.

The main Tarnian tribes of Dacia would unite under the First Dacian Empire around 300 BC, with its capital at Tryphaina Bouzes. The territories around the Galanu as well as the nearby coast would be under direct rule of this empire, with tributary states on the fringes of the rainforests. This empire dominated Northwestern Bailtem, especially with trade. The empire saw many pretenders and civil wars, especially in its later years, however it was still a force to be reckoned with and still the main power in Northern Bailtem. However, by 200 CE , Barbarian raids from the west became even more frequent, with archeology inferring that raiders mentioned in Dacian scripts originated from Rijykas, although these peoples were named as ''Sea Raiders''. In 311 CEE, The Dacian Empire would collapse, leaving behind a power gap in Northern Bailtem. Local lords commonly went to war over each other, resulting in a collapse of living standards aswell as trade and population.

Dacian Dark Ages

After the collapse of the First Dacian Empire, Dacia went into a dark age, as no singular power would manage to rule the region despite many constantly trying. This led to multiple tribes from Central Bailtem settling in the area, which would lead to 5-15% of the modern Dacian language being words from these migrator tribes. The city of Pătrașcugrad itself (known in these times as Pithorsila) became a small duchy of its own, although still overshadowed by its neighbors. The Duchy would slowly expand along the Danube over the centuries, taking advantage of unrest and devastation, subjugating the Galanu river valley. Pithorsila would eventually establish the Duchy of Paltorina, under the rule of Duke Septor Elanic, also referred to by many modern historians as ''The Restorer''.

Medieval Dacia

The Duchy of Paltorina (referred to in Medieval Tarnian texts as Pîltorîna) would dominate the region after its foundation. The duchy would adopt Orthodox Christianity around this time, spreading it to the dukes and tribal leaders around it, giving way to increased trade among both Tribal and Feudal Dacian societies. The instability in the region paved the way to Paltorina's expansion leading to the subjugation of lands further away from the Galanu river valley. In the 14th Century, Prince Eliot Starabab had united all of the Dacian-speaking lands of the Northwestern tip of Bailtem, marrying off family members and integrating areas under personal unions. His succesor, Mircea, would go to the northernmost tips of Bailtem, subjugating the local Aegean population. In the early 15th century, Paltorina would begin expanding inland into the rainforests and down the Galanu, aswell as establishing holdings across the Eastern Rainbow Islands and Uvalor. In 1422, The 2nd Empire of Dacia would be established, and the Imperial Era would begin.

Imperial Dacia and Dacian Renaissance

Under the King Dragos Macek ''Strongarm'' in the 1430's, Dacia had reached its absolute peak. Dragos was governing the lands of Paltorina, Argevan and Uvalor, as well as multiple trading posts along the Eastern Rainbow Isles. During his rule, Dacian merchants had circumnavigated the entire western coast of Bailtem, establishing contact with other Tarnese groups (such as in Stoinia). This era of peace led to the ensurance of prosperity, starting the Dacian Renaissance by the 1440s.
