Vanoma

Vanoma is a small country in Eastern Estal. It is fairly isolated from all other countries, although this is changing due to contact with Zubara and membership in the Second Jasuan Trade Union.

History
Vanoma established the first ever university on Famana in the year 153. In doing this, the mathematician/scientist Govustan tim Asor discovered the "Govustan way", mathematical methods that could be applied in engineering weapons, by the following year. In addition, a much more accurate calendar system was invented, which was promptly adopted by the kingdom.

Vanoma remained mostly isolated, until Aresia expanded and declared war on them. By using intelligent military strategies and advanced technology, they were able to push the Aresians away. After the war, they decided to build up their military and expand.

Hasian Horde
Vanoma was not aware of the existence of the Hasian Horde. However, Bohora, somehow hearing about Aresia's defeat by a "small country to the north", and bitter at Oppia (who it was a vassal of), decided to give Moxon a long shot to defeat Hasia. Moxon agreed, and Vanoma's weapons provided (Catapults) turned out to be instrumental in the defeat of the Horde.

Later
In the year 195 Vanoma journeyed northwards, finding the Gotzlic nations of Nenki and Zubara. That same year, a colony was established across the gulf to the east, covering part of a small island and one cape on the mainland. Relations with Moxon became stronger.

In the year 201, it joined the Second Jasuan Trade Union led by Moxon. In 202, it expanded northwards, to give better contact with Zubara, as well as expanding to cover the whole island their colony was based on. Then, in 203, it launched an expedition westward (alongside Zubara) into the interior of Estal, discovering New Pextum and other associated countries.

Vanoma continued to expand diplomatic relations. In 208, they established the "Estal Pact" with Zubara, Nenki, and New Pextum as a trade and research agreement. One year later in 209, the mainland section of the colony was expanded southward along the coast, giving Vanoma contact with Biliku and Nozumol, who mentioned the refugees fleeing to Nozumol from Fashros.
