History

Pre-Yazminia

There are archaeological evidences that the Yazminian peninsula is inhabited by hominids at least 1 million years ago. However, the peninsula enters the writing era inhabited by the Celts and the Diocests, the historical settlers of the peninsula. After the weakening of those peoples due to the constant struggles between, the Roman Empire easly conquered them. During the early Middle Ages the peninsula came the under the Kalifejon Kingdom rule, which would last for almost a millennium.

During the 10th century, a war between different successors for the throne of the Kalifejon Kingdom allowed the small Christian kingdoms who resisted in the southern mountainous region to gain territories. With more equal forces, Muslims and Christians fought for centuries and the Christians gained slowly the control of the peninsula in a process called O Rekonkero (The Reconquest). During the same period, while they were gaining territories, the different kingdoms were being inherited to the the same kings so they merged into bigger crowns. At the end of the O Rekonkero, only two crowns left in the peninsula, Kastelando in the west and Grandvalo in the east, until they united in 1368.

Yazminia

Yazmin, heiress to the Kastelando Crown and Ferdinando heir to the Grandvalo Crown met in an audit in O Mantelo and fell in love, but this love was impossible because Yazmin was promised by her parents to a marriage of convenience with Henry king of the Malsagans, a kingdom located in the northeast of the bay. When Ferdinando acceded to the throne, declared a surprise war on Malsagia, with Malsagia finally surrendering in 1367. Ferdinando marry Yazmin one year later and as a celebration, Ferdinando ordered to plant millions of jasmine plants around the territory and renamed the resulting crown as Yazminia. Nowadays, they are still popularly known by Yazminians as Os Amantos (the lovers) and to honor them every October 9 is celebrated the Amantos Rago (the lovers day), where it is traditional for men giving jasmines to his partner.

The Yazminian crown union was strengthened during the following centuries, but after a diplomatic crisis in 1747 the surrounding countries allied to conquer the peninsula. Yazminians organized gerilos against the invaders and after years of continuous attacks by Yazminian guerrillas and sabotages by the civil population, foreigners were expelled and Yazminia regained its independence. Yazminians took advantage of guerrillas and the weakening of the previously invading powers and conquered the continuous lands of the peninsula along the southeast of the Algasorian bay coast, defining the map of the current Yazminia. At that time the first Yazminian constitution was drafted, defining Yazminia as a unitary country for the first time.

In 1930, early the first ever free elections were held. The Left-Republican coalition won over the Conservatives and Royalists, people after the results hit the streets and proclaimed the Second Republic. The left-republican government drafted a new constitution recognizing freedom of speech and freedom of association, extending suffrage to women, separating the State of the Churches and allowing divorce and stripping the Yazminian nobility of any special legal status, among many other things. In 1940 the nationalists supported by the military and the nobility revolted against the democratic government bringing Yazminia to a civil war. Finally the nationalists with the help of other Fascist powers won the war after three years. With Yazminia devastated, the winners easily instituted a represive military dictatorship who ruled the country for more than three decades. The new generations who did not experience the repression of the early years of the dictatorship, began to organize demanding democracy, finally throwing the dictatorship in 1975 the peaceful Floro Revolucio (Flowers Revolution). Yazminia was organized as a liberal democracy until 1992, in which a severe economic crisis led the Communist Party to power. Although the multi-party system is still valid de iure, parties that do not support socialism are banned and persecuted.
