Historical Summary:
Humiliation, defeat and foreign rule. The 18th and 19th Centuries for the nation of Yeongrang was spent under the decedant Jing Dynasty as they wallied away in the halls of Yangshang - away from the plight of their subjects in the West and secluded in their realms in the East. Seperated by plains, forests and fields, for decades, the Jing wallied away Yeongnese prestige and development for the sake of their own interests, for the sake of their own secluded world under the pretense of “Divine Rule”, ancient traditions no longer conforming to the modern needs and standards of Yeongrang. Thousands of years of monarchy, and hundreds of years of shame. Yeongrang has never been humiliated so severely in its history.

But that was to be no longer as the Great War raged on, causing the Jinwon Revolution to break out as hundreds upon thousands of countrymen came to active rebellion, with members of the military defecting left and right as they came to the call of the Republic in Jinwon and Gyeongbaek. With the Armed Forces and the backing of a majority of the nation, the nation rallied under Dr. Ryu Kwang-Seok’s three principles of Democracy, Nationalism and Welfare all as the Gugmintang marched eastwards onto the Eastern Expedition amidst the warlord era as they set their eyes first to the Jing heartland. Across the countryside, the cracks of rifles rippled through Yeongrang’s rich and plentiful fields, the nation marching across first to Mungyeong, the Western Capital of Hyeangseul, Nonbaek, Naeyeong as the warlords were vanquished one by one, with many joining ranks on the way.

Now standing face to face with one another, in the year of our lord of 1917, the final battles for Yeongrang raged through 1917 to 1919 as Dr. Ryu and the Jing Emperor fought in a endless battle for the future of the nation. Trenches and later ambushes filled the nations countryside as the Jing’s forces dwindled. However, the advent of the tank and the machinegun alongside the industrialization of the west with the start of the Architect of the Nation, Mr. Kangjon Min-Kyu bore fruit upon the opening of the first modern factories in 1916, going forward from the arms workshops to formal and more steady levels of productions of Submachineguns, Tanks and Armoured Cars as the nation slowly exploits what resources it has to move forward and win the war. In 1917, as the first battles begun, the relatively defensive force of the Jing were greeted with light machineguns, submachine guns, aircraft and armoured cars - albeit not many in number, yet it only grew as the years dragged on. Cultivating in the final battle of Xutou in 1919, as the Jing were exiled to the island of Xianzou.

The exile of the Jing saw the start of the Military Republic period, as the Armed Forces - with the guidance of Mr. Kangjon and Dr. Ryu foresaw the modernisation and westernisation of the nation as western settlers arrived in droves as foreign brainpower. Churches, cathedrals and religions and foreign cultures flowed into the nation to the plight of conservatives - although for the sake of modernization as the nations state corporations and factories expanded faster than ever before, with the labour force slowly, yet surely becoming a more professionalised and organised one - although one with its own share of problems in the realm of welfare. Rebellions, protests and social change were common as the nation and military slowly modernised. Yet, in the background political maneuvers by the left and right threatened the stability of the nation - aiming to threaten the stability of the nationstate as a whole with political strife once more.

In 1927 however, Dr. Wellington Yijun made his move with his left-leaning social-democrats. Starting with the military, Dr. Wellingtons loyalists helped secure the loyalty of forces immideate to the Hyeangseul region as the Right-Wingers flee to the East, only to be crushed the following year with the formation of the Peoples Federation of Yeongrang - a left leaning, socialist Republic, under the Left Gugmintang.

The following decades to the modern period were a period of ups and downs, with economic prosperity arriving in the 1980s but also massive population growth as the nation liberalised to a more functioning, capable nation as foreign influences entered the nation in larger droves than before. Industrial regions and economically - the nation did fairly well especially in the coasts, even if at the cost of the rural peoples whomst often share not as many goods as those in the coasts. The legacy of Dr. Wellingtons progressive, democratic reforms remained however as his coalition of social-democrats were not forgotten prior to the country’s move to a more democratic, yet still centralised federation in the 1990s with the start of the Blue Revolution.

Although socialist in name, free market economics have been praticed for quite some time since the 60’s as the nations economic growth continued, and rapidly picked up with the start of new economic plans in the 90’s as the nation moves from a industrial and developing one - to one of consumer goods.
