HISTORY

The United States of Ketica has not always been a united nation or even one nation. First discovered in the early 18th century by the German, German made a permanent territory in the northern part of the claw peninsula. The French soon discovered the new territory and made a territory in the south. Soon a Spanish sailor working with the French sailed west to discover the grand box which he claimed for Spain. But, the native people there were from the south Island which was named Kevland after an English translation. These people fought hard and kept claimed the Eastern long Island which is present day New Kevland. The British were last to organize a territory on the Ketish Island. The Spanish named the Grand Box, Grande Calia, the French named their territory, Saint Marguerite and New France. The British came to the ketish Territory in 1735 and sailed up the French Veuxlleir and found land that was very rich in natural materials. The British claim the land to the dismay of the Spanish. The Spanish declared war on the British for the land the British took claim which was a part of the Grand Calia territory at that time.



BRISTISH INVASIA

The British Invasion war was fought between the years 1736-1738 and culminated with the British winning with the help of the Kevland Island by supplying men and raw materials. The Spanish signed the British Invasia Treaty which stated that The British would get all the land east of the Victor River and the Kevlandish people received the land Jialing farm land.

1809 (http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo202/VINDONNIE/1809.gif)

INDEPENDENCE

On the July 22nd 1808, the governor of The French Territory, Saint Marguerite, Kebine HENRI, gathered his council and spent the next two years organizing an Army and writing the constitution. The Kebine council saw how the French lost the territories in North America, so on October 10th, an election was held to determine whether or not the people wanted their independence. The vote was 85% to 15% for. On January 22nd, 1811, Saint MARGUERITE, declared its independence from France AS THE REPUBLIC OF KETICA.
1811 (http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo202/VINDONNIE/1811.gif)

UNITED ISLAND

By 1830 after, the annexation of German New Haiti and New France, only one part of the island remained to be separated from KETICA, the Grand Box. 1830 (http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo202/VINDONNIE/1830.gif)
Grand Calia had recently declared independence from Spain so the President of Ketica, at the time Bryce Doric, told the leaders of Grand Calia to join KETICA. The leaders refused. On October 6th, 1835, the Republic of Ketica declared war on the United States of the GRAND CALIA. The war lasted 6 months and culminated with the Treaty of Victorina, where Grand Calia was annexed into the Republic of Ketica and the name of the nation would be officially changed into the United States of the Republic of GRAND KETICA.
1836 (http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo202/VINDONNIE/1836.gif)
The following year (1837) BRITISH INVASION declared independence from Great Britain and was annex into Grand Ketica.

THE LAST ANNEXATION

The search century search for the location of the new capital culminated when President, A’Toussainto Lemoore’s vice president Jason Auba suggested the tropical, mountainous islands of Vanules that were a unrecognized independent nation. On October 1, 1907, President Lemoore signed the annexation of the Vanules into Ketica. The Creation of the new capital city was to be completed on January 22, 1911. The name of the project was the Vanuel project which culminated into naming the city Vanual city.
