History:

The Empire of Eauz or at least the whole region has been known for thousands of years, many natives talk about the creation of the Empire from the bottom of the earth. The earth rose up, and started forming the land, of high ranges, and valleys.

In the 1600’s, French explorers came upon the empire though the colonization of other areas. The natives fought against the French, but due to improved technologies, the French took over the area, and claimed in the name of the King of France. The French punished many of the natives, and brought destruction to the government system at the time. The French put in place though a local government (unlike other colonies though) in support of the French government. The French governments brought about trade and other European cultures; such cultures as Soccer (Football), technology, architecture, and arts.
Unfortunately, though the Empire was raped of many resources for the better of the mother country. Most of the natives were enslaved to work in these places.

In the 1900’s an anti-colonial movement formed, and attacked the French government in place. This brought about the French army into the Empire, which brought about many years of death, destruction, and horror. The war lasted over 6 years, and the French left after this, due to the great loss of life, the desire of independence was extremely high, and the guerrilla warfare in the valleys and mountains was destroying the moral of the French troops. The country was left in disorder, and thus the empire built itself up from the bottom. Small cities and villages were born again, and the Empire reconnected itself over time. The Empire is now a developed country, but still remembers its past.
