Tri-Kingdom Era
The merge of the Tri-Kingdom into the Minston Kingdom in 500 was the birth of the UnTerra Order, a national movement. The era of small kingdoms was coming to an end and being replaced by a continent of large republics and empires, and was causing stability among the powers.

After forming from Minston, the Varian Empire, and Obornia in the 900s, Minstonia became one of the major powers of the world. With cast colonies and large amounts of land in northern Minstos. The 10th century was the beginning of the expansion panic as people realize they needed to grab any land they could and gain in strength before the rivals. In 967AD, the Illiate Republics were worried by the newly formed Pauria to the north, which was returning to a militaristic state, and requested that Minstonia absorb them. Minstonia agreed, so long as they help the Vichsti Republic invade Torrovn and their holy city.
Unification

Annexation of the Illiat Republics
The 11th century was a time for global economic expansion with Minstonia beginning to take the top position in world affairs. With Pauria in the north beginning to return to a militaristic state, the Illiat Republics realized that they would try to retrieve the provinces that the Illiat had added to the Republics centuries before.
In 1003ad, the Illiat Republics appealed to Minstonia requesting protection from the Paurians by annexing them. Minstonia agreed only on the condition that the majority of the Illiat forces would help the Vichsti invade Torrovn so Minstonia could indirectly become involved in the conflict without declaring war.
The North-Minston War of Torrovian Eradication ended in 1014 with Torrovn being split between Illiat and Vichsti. The next two years consisted of Minstonia and Illiat working on an integration agreement which concluded successfully. By 1016ad, Minstonia was now four times the size it was only 200 years prior.
Problems in Norvein
In a hope to gain more land for themselves, Terruban and the colonists in Minstonian colonies who wanted to be independent fought against Minstonia to grab more land for themselves.
Continental Wars
The Continental War era began at the start of the Minston-Torrovn War where the last secondary powers were absorbed. This began a period that lasted between the 10th and 14th centuries in which the remaining great powers and their client states fought over control over the continent. Natel declares independence from Aeton, Pauria sides with Aeton. Warjan acts aggressively towards other great powers, dictator rises to power, both the Interior and Exterior alliances fight to contain Warjan and arguing with each other to install a new government friendly toward their own respective alliance. Tension rises between Pauria and Minston and breaks out in a small territorial conflict, but is quickly resolved.he Exterior Alliance begins to grow in strength, worrying the Interior Alliance leading to a war to declare dominance over the continent on the Exterior Alliance. This leads to Warjan being split between Minston and Vichsti, Creote being released, Aeton being split between Natel and Vichsti, Vichsti obtaining the remaining Merchant Republics, and Minston obtaining amounts of Paurian territory. Pauria in a last stand against Minston declares war in an attempt to regain its land and pride, loses horrifically, converted into territories.
Industrialization
Civil War
In 1548, two rebel groups representing Vichsti and Warjan gained control of south and eastern Minstos and seceded from the Minston Republics forming two nations. The Republics did not recognize this independence and went in to defeat the rebel uprising. The rebel support grew with rebels rising in Pauria, leading to an all out assault by the rebel factions on the central government in Doveres. The surrender of the Minston government led to the signing of a treaty stating that the countries would rejoin Minston, but each Republic would have representation and more autonomy.
