Yuktova

The Technocracy of Yuktova was formed in 437 BCE. During that time, it has seen dictators take power, great injustice, been one of the most powerful empires in the world throughout it's history. Yuktova as a nation, has been around for 1660 years.

Pre-History of Yuktova Yuktova began as 14 small war-like tribes. These 14 tribes often faught over land, resources, and population (often, the tribes had a low population of women...) One tribe, the Trunoka, met and make an alliance with another tribe, Yuktrova. The Yuktrovans were Slavic in origin, and backstabbed the Trunoka when they discovered a deposit of steel and gunpowder. This allowed them to made swords of metal, and the gunpowder helped them make explosives. The Yuktrovans then conquered the other 13 tribes and founded the city of Drumani in 437 BCE.

Common Era of Yuktova The Yuktrovans quickly became civilized, and had a golden age. They discovered how to make flintlock rifles and pistols very quickly. The Yuktrovans then rid themselves of their old clan name, and became official Yuktovans. They formed a Republic in 21CE. This lasted for 200 years until a revolution and the foundation of a true democracy in 221CE. This did not last very long, however, as the nation erupted into civil war. Thousands were murdered in cold blood by differing parties. Due to this, Yuktovans are very distrusting of democracies.

Pre-Modern Era of Yuktova The nation was greatly affected by the Industrial Revolution in the 1600 and early 1700s. Small villages became into moderate cities. The production of rifling in barrels made it possible for larger engagements in warfare. With population booms and new advances in warfare, Yuktova expanded into unclaimed lands. This angered Connopolis, who declared war on Yuktova. The Commonland only gained around 100 miles, but this was enough to feed the expanding population. Yuktova then sadly enacted several isolationist policies, and the nation stagnated culturally until 2032 CE...
