Aresia

Aresia is a country located in southeastern Estal, near the isthmus connecting it to Antebar.

Early years
Aresia as a nation was formed by the Anlian (Aresian) Berbers out of the victory over Bamal to the south in the year 130, after which the barbaric tribes determined that having an organized government like Bamal or other kingdoms would improve their status.

In the Year 151, Aresia attacked Bamal-Holk to defeat them once and for all. However, Oppia defended Bamal and defeated Aresia. The Aresians were spared by Oppia, which was facing the troubles of managing a large empire, and which felt Aresia would be humiliated enough.

Aresia then discovered Vanoma in 156, and tried to attack them four years later. However, Vanoma's superior technological and mathematical knowledge allowed them to defeat Aresia, humiliating them once more. The former king stepped down, and thus Aresia became a somewhat more peaceful nation.

Great Gomic War
Aresia joined the Great Gomic War on the side of the Anti-Oppian Coalition when Oppia began to lose control of Eastern Oppia. In the peace treaty when the war ended, Aresia was allowed to annex areas of Oppia and parts of northern Bamal-Holk, with a surprising lack of resistance from Moxon and Pextoglazia.

Age 4
In the years after the Great Gomic War, Aresia enjoyed an era of peace and stability, improving its economy, technology, and especially its navy during this time period. This was marred only by a rebellion of Lathvy Oppians in the year 201 in the far southern mountains of the country (area formerly controlled by Oppia), which was (mostly) quickly put down by the Aresian army.
