Historical Summary:
Ancient hunter-gatherer kemonomimi first settled in the eastern horn of mid Arcturia in 10,000 BCE. After several migration periods, the settlers had spread inland toward the grassland plains, where they first made use of agriculture.
By the 7th century BCE, several city-states and petty kingdoms vied for control over the inlands to be able to boost their agricultural power. More coastal city-states toward the north focused their efforts on nautical trade.
In the 3rd century BCE, the Empire of the Ewe, which was named after the Ewe River on which its capital was situated, took control of many of the city-states and petty kingdoms. The Empire of the Ewe used a system akin to feudalism, in which Lords traded and, on rare occasions, fought over land.
Following the beginning of the 1st century CE, the empire fell apart, leaving behind several powerful families named Guilds which formed to take up the power vacuum. After several centuries of fighting, negotiations, and trade, 10 Guilds were left ruling over various parts of the previous empire.
In 1818, a wave of nationalism over the region prompted the Guilds to attempt unification. They unified into a parliamentary federation and ceremoniously crowned one of the Heads of the Guilds as the Queen of Ewenshire. They made the monarchy’s seat rotational, so each guild would hold the title of monarch and pass it along to the next when the monarch died.
Ewenshire, facing an economic crisis due to the halt of trade during the Great War, opted to stay neutral to not get involved.
