Dominion of Ebedron

History
After being discovered by colonists from a far away land, the large landmass that was later called Australia, was ruled by small kingdoms across the large landmass, but were weak and fought amongst themselves. When these foreigners cames to the island, they quickly settled into a cooperation with the most powerful kingdom in land, in a region called Canberra. Working with his strength and providing strength in technology, the emperor of the Canberran lands, quickly conquered the surrounding lands of Sydney, Bairnsdale, Melborne,m Albery, and other land, that would soon be called the Empire of South Victoria(New South Wales and Victoria). In consolidation of his forces, the Emperor of the land began to bring the land under a strong structure, but peace would not last. In a coup with several military officers, the foreigners took the crown and forged their own government. They organized the military, along with colonists and pushed into a region called Queensland-Wales, a cooperation between two kingdoms. With their numbers, the northern governments were able to fight back the Victorians and their rulers and force them into peace.

Fighting stopped, but the "Oligarchy" as it was called, demanded a spread of its power, so they began a spread across the harsh lands of South Australia, conquering any resistance and bringing them under their control. This was deemed a Golden Age by the rulers of the Empire, and in some ways it was. Infrastructure and science were strong and the culture grew, but the "Oligarchy" consisting mostly of the foreigners wanted more. They continued their expansion, but they also wanted domination of the culture, they changed the flag, the money, religous books, educational material, and finally the lands name. They proclaimed that the entire islands name would change to Ebedron, something from their old lands. They, supprisingly, kept the name "South Australia", supposing that if they did, they would lose much support. Over the next 30 years, and a new generation taking control of the Oligarchy, the empire spread, but it again came back to the Queensland-Wales enemy.

This northern threat were feared even more by the 2nd Oligarchy then they were by the first. So, preparing their armies, they struck without warning or mercy, destroying the large settlements in Brisbane and Charlesville. The Ebedron army could not be stopped, they pushed their enemy to the seaboard stronghold of Cairns, supposedly the ancient meeting ground of where the Queens and Wales tribes had first made their pact. Now, they held onto this small area of land against the swords and arrows of their enemy, but not for long. 6 months into the siege, a traitor gave the 2nd Oligarchy information on how to breach the fortress. They succeeded in doing so, and slaughter the army there, and quelling all resistance. The fortress was burned to the ground, only some rubble remaining. The Queensland-Wales citizens became second-class citizens in their own land. The Ebedronese that moved into the land became lords to the people, and this is how it was for the decades to come.

Over the next 78 years, the 2nd and 3rd Oligarchy led the island in the founding of the Ebedron Empire. Their soldiers and colonists spread across the land, quelling any opposition. The last outpost for any resistance was finally found in the Summer of 967 AD. The rebels from across the island had fled to the town of Derby and constructed massive defenses. A 3 wall defense, chains to protect their harbor and large guard towers. Any refugees from the island were quarantined in the town and watched, but if they were trustworthy, they were allowed to stay. When the Oligarchy found out about this, they were outraged and order a full march on the town. When they arrived, they were shocked at the defenses of this town. Unwilling to accept being stood against, the Oligarchy threw their forces at them. Death filled the battlefield, but even after battling through two of the three walls, the Empires forces were stopped. This defeat carried with tens of thousands of soldiers. The Oligarchy, fearing revolt, pulled its men back and establishing a Guard Line, surrounding the entire line. Also, the Oligarchy ordered its carpenters to construct new warships, to blockade the enemy and keep them in the city. They did not know that the rebels( calling themselves Australians) had expected this and had already created plans for this. They were self-sufficent.

The 3rd Oligarchy was quickly replaced by the 4th, with reformed thinkers and the first native to join the council. They reformed the council, making a senate, to decide issues that would be forwarded to the Oligarchy to decide the final decision. The blockade of Derby became a training area and somewhere where soldiers would go for their first duty.

This blockade lasted 967 173 years(1140) when a major breakthrough came through. With the discovery of uses of different types of metal and wood, the Navy of the Empire began work on sailing ships to explore the area around it. The ships explored for months until finding lands full of lush forests and new adventure. The Empire ordered full colonization of these areas, naming them Aotearoa (another term found in the histories of the "foreigners")

History is disturbed between the time of 1140 and 1462. What is known is that after Derby was taken in a military feat, the people of Ebedron rebelled and killed or imprisoned any full blooded foreigners. The natives finally had power again, but the foreigners had already affected them greatly. The new Emperor of Ebedron demanded a type of government. Full integration between the leaders and the people. Citizens would be chosen by their peers to run the country, not by appointment by previos officials. This was a new time of prosperity. Democracy came to the lands of Ebedron and Aotearoa. The government ordered more exploration of the waters and surrounding lands. Prosperity ruled the land and the nation became the Dominion of Ebedron. They founded in another region called Kanaky, which became a large naval and commerce area. Sadly, this was the end of exploration. New weapons had just been invented, something called gunpowder, thus leading to a major age of militaristic study, but sometime after 1454 the "foreigners" were able to regain control, they began a major attempt at cleansing the natives, but were defeated and were executed. The only remnants of the foreigners were some families that were disloyal to their blood-relatives and the children and wives of the revolutionaries. The country decided isolationism was the best and stopped exploration. This occured until 1744, when a ship from the Academy of Weipa found another civiliation to the north on large islands. Fearing this was the realm of their former rulers, the government retreated further into itself, developing a large military industry, to protect itself. It has maintained this defense, having just a year ago sighted a ship headed toward their lands. It was of strange design, sleek and it somehow disappeared under water, but with the Ebedron scientists studying it from a distance, they were able to figure what it was and began to construct warships to fight it. When it was next sighted, the Ebedron Navy was able to destroy the ship. The government has ordered major funding into research for new ideas and the scientific community have invented motorized vehicles and railroads with fast moving "trains" Warships patrol the area around the country and subsequent islands and the country is at peace.

Several years ago, the second group of visitors came. They were not killed and proved to know much about the outside world, about the war, the death, and the knowledge and technology. Through trades of supplies and aid, the Ebedron government learned many outside secrets, and seeing that they were far behind, began a major education and social reforms program. But, these foreigners also soon left, but with knowledge that would lead the Dominion to finally reach an Apex of power. The Dominion has finally been introduced to the world, staying as a reclusive nation, but participating in regional; trade and little in the international community

ooc: i know it wasnt great, but i left out most of the scientific stuff, since im not too good with that.

Built with new metals found in the western territories, and with technology such as gunpowder, these ships contain cannons that are built onto its sides, but also have two "tubes" that contain cylindrical weapons that fire at targets in front of them.

a larger and newer design, this vessel contains an "engine" a device that is turned by the movement of water and fire and something called coal. This ship holds larger cannons, but no "torpedoes".

The vessel that was thought to be seen to be from the "foreigners", scientists attempted to build one as well.

this ship carried one tube for torpedoes.
