Well, there're still mistakes, I fear: the Grand Duchy of Bakran never substituted the Ajanic Empire....nor the Ajans never defeated the Antanaresians (it happened quiet the contrary).

Circa 2000 B.C. The City of Pars is flourishing, a cultural and economical hotspot.

Circa 1500 B.C. The Empire of Pars, a collectivity of Clans, is established.

Circa 70 C.E. The Electranist faith is slowly being replaced by the Christian faith in Pars.

112 C.E. The Clan of Ithell declares a state of turmoil in the Empire, and seeks to kill all of those who do not follow Electranism. The Clan Ithell was overthrown and dismantled by the seven other clans.

610-632 C.E. Mohamed establishes the religion of Islam through revelation in Angora, begins the hijra to Sancesa. The Caliphate of Angora is established in the north of modern Arveyres.

702-743 C.E. The Warring States period begins between the various small monarchies in and around the extent of the Caliphate of Angora.

985 C.E. The Kingdoms are unified under one crown in Angora. The first Empress of Angora, Virgo of the House of Pahlavi, is crowned in the cities of Alba, Raven, Paris, and finally Angora.

1478-1502 C.E. The Wars of Religion begin, ending with the Arveyran (Paris) monarchy becoming the ruling monarchy, disestablishing the four other monarchies.

1785 C.E. Arveyres becomes a part of the Empire of New Tarajan.

This is all I have for now, will be adding more later

200 BC: The Holy Kingdom of Relion falls into Telmarine hands. Empire of Telmar established

50 BC: Relion wins independence, the Omegities are persecuted by the new religious group called Roghtanganistines

1855 AD: Novaya Zemlya is annexed into the zack Commonwealth

2014 AD: the rebellion of New Caucasoid, NC gets independence within zack Commonwealth. Also Job City is given independence as a protectorate of the zack commonwealth.

2015 AD: Communist Government falls in Telmar and UKZ captures and inducts Telmar into Commonwealth

1766 : New Zealand founded by tarajani explorers
1777 : NZ becomes a domain of the Tarajani Empire
1778-1783 : NZ experiences large growth in settlers, many escaping the Tarajani-Ashar war. Population grows exponentially, hitting 4 Million in December 1783. Borders expand rapidly. 
1784 : Tarajani forces begin to conscript NZ men into the armed forces to fight the Ashars. Compulsory military service for all unmarried men aged 16-24. Ballot for all other men up to age 40. 
1784-1790 : New Zealand suffers heavy losses in conflict. Growing unrest as population becomes weary of Tarajani rule. Many having lost loved ones to the conflict
1790-1824 : Compulsory military service remains in place. Though not many conscripted soldiers are sent to war. Still, population is not pleased with the policy. 
1825 : NZ Men are once again conscripted into combat. Once again to fight for the king against the Ashari forces. People grow extremely angry. A few protests sprout up around the nation. Tarajani sentiment rapidly declines. 
1827 : Rebel group marches down the Great South Road and sets fire to the Governors House. Red guards respond immediately, shutting down the rebellion and killing/imprisoning those involved. 
1827-1829 : Republican support spikes up, Governor assassinated, and the newly appointed replacement cuts back on conscription, hoping to appease the people. The war draws to an end, but public opinion remains at an all time low. 
1830 : In an effort to appease the people, the Governor inaugurates the first NZ Parliament, and changes his role to superintendent. The sense of false sovereignty is enough to calm the majority. 
1833 : Superintendent overrides the Parliament and hikes up taxes. Government budget is reallocated, and large quantities of money go to bailing out the OHC. Public sentiment takes a sharp turn for the worst. 
1853 : Expansion comes to an end and NZ reaches it's current borders. Republicans attempt another uprising, this time the Redguards are forced into retreat, but reinforcements from the Tarajani Navy send the Republicans into hiding. 
1854 : NZ men are once more forced into service in the Tarjani forces, this time to fight Atanares. 
1858 : Republican forces take to the streets once more. Superintended is captured and held hostage. Parliament declares a coup and threatens to fight against Tarajan, alongside Antanares if it's demands aren't met. Tarajani delegation arrives in NZ, and negotiations begin. It is agreed that NZ will gain self governance if it helps Tarajan defeat Antanares. 
1861 : The first ever NZ Government comes into session after Antanares is defeated. Nation becomes a constitutional monarchy and a Prime Minister is elected. 
1899 : Unrest in New Tarajan causes economic ripples that are felt in NZ. However, government remains faithful, and armed forces contribute to any and all Tarajani war efforts. Prime Minister famously proclaims "Where she goes, we go!" 
1919 : Tarajani civil war breaks out. This was the final push, and the global economy comes crashing down, marking the start of the first Great Depression. NZ soon faces large budget cuts, and many are forced into poverty. Nation grows closer to Eurasia, as civilians begin admiring their socialist neighbor, who has managed to maintain a decent standard of living.  
1920 : The Tarajani monarchy is abolished and forced into hiding. Following encouragement from Eurasia, the NZ parliament pushes forward a referendum to ditch the monarchy. The referendum passes with flying colors, and the Constitutional-Monarchy is abolished, the Social Democracy is formed from the ashes, sharing almost identical economic policies to Eurasia. 
1922-1950 : On the back on strong leadership, solid economic policies, and strong consumer confidence, the NZ economy skyrockets, and citizens hail the socialist policies as their savior. Relations with Eurasia grow rapidly, and public admiration for their socialist neighbor, and in some ways mentor, increased tenfold. 
1950-1989 : Commonly referred to as the Socialist glory days, the NZ populous enjoys a very high standard of living, and the heavily regulated industry thrives. A baby boom takes place, and population finally crosses the 300 million mark in July 1989. However, the Socialist dream would soon start to fade. 
1990-2000 : Economy remains strong but growth slows down. The formation of SECURS only worsened this, and the formation of the reciprocal UPS had little effect on the economic situation. Many begin to question the socialist mantra, and the Socialist Party dissolves into the Labour Party, which promises to transition the economy towards the capitalist model. 
2001 : The long standing Holden Motor Corporation, the backbone of the nations economy, is forced to shut down and reform into the Chrysler Group, citing crippling bureaucracy as it's reason. While not much is lost, many see this as the loss of a national icon, and it is the final nail in the Socialist coffin. 
2003 : The right wing Conservative Party, who had just won it's largest vote in history, shuts down the government, refusing to accept the Labour budget and placing Parliament in gridlock. The economy collapses, and the world is put in shock, as economic calamity ensues for all major markets with links to the Social Democracy, a pillar of the global economy. NZ is dropped from the Titan class, and the Labour party fast tracks it's reforms, turning the nation capitalist overnight, cutting taxes in half.
2004-2010 : Reforms are a large success. Conservatives are voted out of parliament completely, and Labour wins with outright majority. Economy thrives, and the nation is once more a member of the Titan Class in 2007, and overtakes it's pre-collapse GDP in 2009.  Government remains left wing, and welfare remains a key issue, but large scale deregulation has allowed the private sector to thrive. The Chrysler Group also reaps the benefits, and turns extremely large profits for the government, it's market share growing uncontrollably. Soon the public sector only accounts for 15% of the GDP, a long way down from it's 60% peak. Economy is extremely large and trumps many of it's competitors. Nation signs trade deals with many nations, and co-operates extensively with New Tarajan and Antanares, whilst also contributing heavily to the UPS.

Update below!

Well, I'm sorry to bother you....but there're still problems with the Tarajani timeline:

1) There's never been a war between Antanares (it didn't exist at the time) and the Ajanic Empire.

2) The Ajanic Empire collapses in 487 (so well before the foundation of the Grand Duchy of Bakran).

3) I don't know what you are meaning by saying that Antanares caused the fall of Tarajani aristocracy.

4) The Ajans were the defeated, not the winners, in the conflict with the Antanaresian (now Tarajani) lords. The Kingdom of Tarajan is founded by such lords of Antanaresian origin.

*UPDATE*

ALRIGHT! Everyone's submitted history has been added and the analysis has been modified correspondingly to NT's requests. If something isn't correct or you want to add something in then don't hesitate to ask me.

Thank you very much!

(only a small note: the Grand Duchy of Bakran is founded in 1505, and the final victory of the lords against the Ajans took place in 1544. The Kingdom has been founded only fifty years after, in 1595...in the middle there was a period called "Feudal Anarchy").

Also, if someone is interested, we could further expand the period of the Liberal Revolution of 1789 (if you can, Atenosia, add it...it could be a good ground for others to develop it) and the Idillian Wars.

Thanks Atanosia
Except we never gave Novaya Zemlya independence.

Both fixed.

How would you expand upon it? I'd be interested if possible.

Well, of course we should take inspiration by the French Revolution and the real-life Liberal Revolutions of the XIX century.

So, here's a "draft":

1st Stage = The Liberal Revolution explodes in the Kingdom of Tarajan. I will follow, in its future description, a bit of the path taken by the French Revolution (the Diet, aka the Etats Generales, proclaiming themselves as the new legitimate legislative body, for example). Although I still have to design the details, I can say since now that in this stage (circa from 1789 to 1791), the Diet takes the power, against the Landsraad, and initially also against the King. Then the King changes side, and allies himself with the new Constitutional Assembly, creating the ground for its victory against the Landsraad forces in the Battle of Horatstadt. Thus, Tarajan becomes a constitutional, liberal monarchy (introduction of the figure of the Prime Minister), with the King relegated to a secondary role with the rise to power of the Council of Citizens, lead by Rudolf De Ruyter.
In this stage, there will be the most radical reforms: abolition of religion (Jahanism, in our case) and of the divine right to govern of the monarch, elimination of feudality, introduction of public education, and so on.

2n Stage = While the first stage will be preminently Tarajani-centered, the second one is the opposite. I was thinking that the Revolution and the rise of the liberal regime could trigger a series of wars (aka the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars). I'm not yet sure about the casus belli which would led to them (and about who attacks who), so we can work on it, although, as I wrote in the timeline, a first idea could be that the traders (as members of the bourgeoisie now at the government) would make pressure to attack Antanares in order to protect their interests against the growing economic (and colonial) power of Antanaresian trade companies in the Jikillian Sea (the lake south of New Tarajan, on the map).
Also, in this stage we could also insert a spread of the liberal ideas, and consequent changes of regime, in the rest of the world.
Surely, there will be attempts (by exiled aristocrats and supporters of the old regime) to reverse the situation in Tarajan (and in the other countries affected, eventually).

3rd Stage = At the end (circa 1810), the situation takes a wrong direction for Tarajan, and the liberal regime is forced to leave to the Atanean Empire the Sdudeti-Karabak and North Ajania, and the Jikillian Sea to Antanares, while gaining at the same time almost every Antanaresian colony.
De Ruyter and the Council of Citizens would not survive to the defeat (I'm still undecided about their exact fate), and the Landsraad would take advantage of the weakness of the liberals to restore a balance. This will not mark, however, the end of liberalism: since the defeat is only partial, and the new King Friederick Wilhelm I is a supporter of liberalism (and also many Noble Houses are becoming supporters of it), Tarajan will keep its liberal government, although in a more moderate attitude (much like England after the Glorious Revolution, or France after 1830).
This stage opens various possibilities: we could decide what happen in other countries (both winners or loosers) and to their (eventual) liberal regimes, and to the new ideas which have been spreading during this period.
Also, we could work on a sort of Congress of Wien, which would be the place where the peace treaties were signed, and the new political situation was drawn.

Ummm.... I hate to be that guy but Novaya Zemlya hasn't even declared independence.

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXED

Perhaps Eurasia was backing one of the sides?

This could be a good idea.

However, since I don't know very much about your country's history, I have no idea about where exactly Eurasia could be in the conflict.

However, I believe it would be better to design, first of all, the alliances (with their reasons-of-being) and the casus belli of the various wars...this way, it would be far more easy to understand where we could put Eurasia

Sounds fine. What did you have in mind?

Well....I find a bit difficult to integrate it successfully with what we are develping here :/


Eurasia, about your question: unfortunately, I still don't have a clear picture in my mind. Of course, any single country should choose by its own if to side with or against the Liberals. This would depend on their own historical path, so it's not up to me to decide.
The best idea would be to ask to everyone to announce the position of their own countries.

New Tarajan wrote:Well....I find a bit difficult to integrate it successfully with what we are develping here :/

It, however, logically speaking, the speech row. We could try to integrate my story to the history of the Region.

The problem is that a great part of your history would be practically "out of the Region"...well, this is not exactly an obstacle, but it could make your country feel less integrated.
Also, we should explain why our countries developed in such a way, without even get influenced (and influenting) the original European continent...

Hey, I've had a great idea for a twist in our history. Vladimir Lenin was the youngest son and a prince of New Tarajan during the founding stages of New Zealand. However, his relationship with his family was never good, and at age 25 he left New Tarajan to go "rule" the dominion of New-Zealand. Soon he begins to lead the socialist movement and fights for succession, declaring the nation a free land under him, promising sanctuary for all those running from the Aristocratic Tarajani empire. He leads the socialists (as per our previous timeline) and finally forcing the Tarajani forces out of New-Zealand and establishes the sovereign state of New-Zealand. During his 40th birthday tour of the nation, he is assassinated and his killer is never found. Some suspect that it was a Tarajani ploy to murder him as revenge for him betraying his family.

His family then disappears (it is unknown whether they were killed or just went into hiding) and the rest of history continues as it is. Now this ties in to my new RP. Just wait for my news post. It's going to spark up the whole UPS SECURS thing again.

Well, honestly I don't see how this could spark hostilities between UPS and SECURS XD

But the whole thing is interesting (although, I should say that Vladimir and Lenin are not exactly Tarajani names...and that to be 4th in succession, as I read in the news, he should have been a Van Vinkel).

I was just about to say he doesn't appear to be part of the Tarajani aristocracy.
