LORE

The Dominion of Holamagna was first settled by the Melodian Spanish by sending a little known ethnic group knowns as the Holamagnate people, around 1600 AD. These people landed in Recife and Rio de Janeiro and established the first colonies. In 1632 the Portugese landed in Salvador and Fortaleza, and a massive struggle between Melodia and Portugal began. The Holamagnate peoples had very high autonomy and most Spanish didn't go to Brazil as the Holamagnates didn't want the caste system of the Spanish mainland plaguing them instead. The Holamagnates lived in relative peace until the 1700s or the War of Spanish Succession; the Holamagnates seized Portugese Brazil and Melodia had formed the Iberian Union. A population boom also coincided bringing the population up to 1750.

In 1758 the Seven Years War began, and the Holamagnates did not wish to contribute; disgruntling the Melodians. The Melodians were eventually forced to make a dominion, the Dominion of Holamagna. As the Holamagnates became more developed and the Industrial Revolution started, the Holamagnates were eager to begin industrializing as they had a much worse economy (due to lack of slavery) than our timeline; thus their massive population was relatively poor. The beginning of the Melodian Civil War had caused the Holamagnates to leave the Melodians but maintain trade relations with them.

In 1804-1819, the Holamagnate Civil Wars had begun, in which various cities such as Recife had tried to secede from the central government. The 15 year long civil war saw little fighting, but it was the closest the Holamagnate Empire had gone to collapsing entirely. In 1819 the Treaty of Fortaleza was signed turning the country into a Westminster-style democratic state. In 1820 the Holamagnate Industrialization Campaign was complete; the Holamagnate Empire became a highly industrialized society, and they benefitted a lot from their industry, as well as things like fishing and farming in the fertile lands of Holamagna. The Holamagnate population continued to increase greatly as it attracted oppressed minorities from other sects of the world. This had initiated the Holamagnate Civil War, which was nothing but a guerilla campaign in the Amazon Rainforest between 1840 and 1870. In 1870, the Amazon guerillas surrendered ending the Civil War and causing the Holamagnate Gilded Age, in which the country's economy skyrocketed. In 1881, Holamagnate became the Dominant Culture of the Country, as the Melting Pot in Brazil had finally gone in favour of the Holamagnate people (there are now around 20 in Spain, as opposed to 67,000 in 1500, as all of them had gone, willingly or forcingly, to Brazil)

In 1914 World War I had begun...the country's lore will end off here.
