| | After the union of Minston, the Varian Empire, and Obornia into Minstonia in the 900s, the western Varian colonies became unstable due to the shift of power. After a 20 year war, the western colonies declared themselves the Allorian Kingdoms, returning to the old 'glorious' system that was previously present in the former Varian Empire. Due to its large coastal holdings in the Andreian Sea, the Allorian Kingdoms became a large trade power controlling a large amount of western Andreian affairs. The Warjan Empire also intervened in the Allorian War for Independence by supplying Allorian troops in return for a chunk of Varian land of the edge of the western peninsula. |

| === 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.

| === Minstonia Era ===
| |
| After the union of Minston, the Varian Empire, and Obornia into Minstonia in 1000, the western Varian colonies became unstable due to the shift of power. After a 20 year war, the western colonies declared themselves the Allorian Kingdoms, returning to the old 'glorious' system that was previously present in the former Varian Empire. Due to its large coastal holdings in the Andreian Sea, the Allorian Kingdoms became a large trade power controlling a large amount of western Andreian affairs. The Warjan Empire also intervened in the Allorian War for Independence by supplying Allorian troops in return for a chunk of Varian land of the edge of the western peninsula. | |

| ====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|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 Republic|Vichsti]] invade [[Torrovn]] so Minstonia could indirectly become involved in the conflict without declaring war.
| |
| | |
| The [[Minston-Torrovn War|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 Norvien ====
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| === 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.
