History

Early History (3500 BCE - 216 CE)

The oldest ruins of a civilization in this area date back to around 3500 BCE, and was a collection of cities and territories. This civilization, dubbed the Horn Civilization due to its location in the Horn of Kaskada was one of the earliest Bronze Age civilizations and had highly developed architecture and cultures, with ornate building spread across the cities. Archeologists believe that this civilization had a relatively strong central authority, as there is a high level of measured regulation in things like the bricks of almost every settlement of this civilization, as well as a sort of currency spread across the horn. Unfortunately, records from this civilization have been lost to time, as they used a writing system still untranslated to the modern day. The Horn civilization prospered for thousands of years before it declined and dissapeared around 1400 BCE. While there is not complete consensus about the fall of the Horn civilization, most scholars believe it was due to invasions of warrior people from Unovia, although shifts and climate are also sometimes attributed to this event.

A period of stagnation occurred after the fall of the Horn Civilization, splintering the Horn and the surrounding areas into a collection of small settlements. This period of history, from 1400 BCE to approximately 800 BCE is known as the Early Aurav Dark Age, and is characterized with a decline in writing, small settlements, and warring clans. Art and cultural development is sparse and often very simple, and smaller settlements suggests a decline in population.

However, there is evidence of economic recovery in the horn civilization, beginning in the 8th century BCE. Offerings at old Shviesist temples in the area became rich with foreign coins, as well as jewels and silks not native to the horn. Iron tools and weapons became much more common, as well as trade making metal items much more accessible. Many settlements saw an increase in population. One more significant change that would characterize the land of Auravas for the next thousand years was the establishment of the city-state, and consolidation of power into a more central authority. In this period we see the first glints of democracy on Urth, with forms of direct democracy springing up in small city states in the 6th century BCE. An intellectual revolution of sorts occurred around 450 BCE, centered in the city state of Kiyvuska. A "little golden age" occurred in Kiyvuska and the surrounding areas, bringing scientific and cultural advancement, until Kiyvuska's fall to a rival city state in 246 BCE. Thy city state period would eventually come to an end after the Kingdom of Aurav conquered the horn in 216 CE.

City-state of Kiyvuska

The City-State of Kiyvuska was an influential city-state that flourished between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE, with the ideas and cultural achievements greatly influencing foundations for the Kingdom of Aurav and therefore Auravas. They are considered one of the most powerful democratic city states of the pre-Aurav age, and this era was characterized by economic and cultural flourishing. Pottery and sculpture was abundant during this time period, and Kiyvuska became a center of Theater. Kiyvuska featured some of the most famous philosophers of Auravasi Civilization.

Kingdom of Aurav (216 CE - 1482 CE)

The age of city states came to an end when the Kingdom of Aurav united the cities of the Horn in 216 CE. Aurav, unlike Kiyvuska, was more authoritarian, with a king and a group of high ranking nobles presiding over the Kingdom. However, Aurav did have some (relatively weak) democratic institutions, such as the citizen's assembly. Even so, the conquering of the peninsula is widely regarded as the beginning of the Auravian golden age. Aurav grew prosperous from controlling trade coming into and out of the Unovian Strait, and Aurav became a center of the arts and the sciences. Famous thinkers, including Astronomers, Physicists, Mathematicians, Philosophers, Artists, Architects, and more poured out of Aurav in astounding numbers. One notable example is the 5th century mathematician, Aileen Siyanid, who pioneered in the field of calculus. Education efforts also massively expanded, as schools and other institutions opened up across the nation, and students were taught In a variety of subjects, such as geometry, biology, algebra, history, philosophy, and more. The School of Aurav, one of the largest hubs of learning at the time, was a prominent center of learning and research. The golden age, as well as bringing scientific and cultural development, also accelerated development of ideas such as democracy, and the power of the citizens assembly and other democratic institutions proggressively increased, until in the 9th century, the king was reduced to merely a ceremonial role. Aurav continued to prosper for a time, until 1482, when the Silvs took over the peninsula.

First Floosian War

Throughout the mid-late 8th centuries, Auravi control of the seas was rapidly growing, yet their naval prowess was curtailed by the Kingdom of Stravag, who controlled modern day Joralesia, repeatedly antagonizing Aurav ships traveling through the Floosian strait. In 775, An Aurav fleet assaulted a number of forts in the east of the strait and attempted an unsuccessful landing on Stravag, beginning the First Floosian War. Any maritime concessions granted to Stravag were quickly reaten by the far superior Auravi navy. After the taking of the islands in the middle of the Strat, the southern portion was separated from the main Stravag forces and was also taken. Continued naval victories and landings on the northern portion of Stravag eventually caused Stravag to surrender to Aurav. As part of the terms of surrender, Stravag ceded the entire southern territory, the islands in the Strait, and almost all of the northern territory's coast. While Stravag remained a state, it became highly dependent on Aurav.

King Iakar and Transition to a Complete Democracy

King Iakar was a king of Aurav who governed from 818 - 863, and is most well known for transitioning Aurav to a constitutional monarchy. Pushes for Aurav to become a complete democracy began to escalate in the late 700s, which only intensified near the turn of the century, putting pressure on Iakar's father, King Hokan. The famed political philosopher Olare Pintaya was a major factor in the transition. In his pamphlet, People and their Kings, he wrote extensively on the topic of complete democracy, stating "The purpose of government, to ensure the will of people, must encapsulate just that - the people and their wills. Therefore, the role of absolute king is a natural antithesis to the essential purpose of the governing structure." Iakar Tidoa was born in 792, as the second born son to King Hokan. While originally second in line for the throne, his brother died by falling down a stairway in 809. He ascended to the throne in 818, amidst the democracy debate present in Aurav at the time, and two years into his reign, he signed the "Democracy Papers", which reduced the King's role to a purely ceremonial role. He became a prolific reader and writer, poring over any book or manuscript he could lay his hands on, and also had an interest in the visual arts, learning painting.

300 Year Darkness (1482 CE - 1764 CE)

In 1482 CE, the region of Kaskada was dominated by a religion called Silvism, which stated that humans were the superior race. A powerful group of Silvist Extremists in the south of the Horn of Kaskada invaded the Kingdom of Aurav. Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the Aurav military did not have time to mobilize and react, and Aurav was toppled by the Silvists. The Silvists established an authoritarian government called the Theocracy of Silv. Thus begun a period know as the 300 year darkness. The Silvist nobility gained immense power and ruled over the land with an iron fist. A mass killing campaign began, to rid the nation of any non humans, which were abundant after the Golden age. It is estimated that 1.5 million people were killed, and another million people fled to the coasts of the mainland to the east of the horn, and to the tip of East Unovia Island. For the remaining people in Silv, inequality and poverty exploded as the nobility abused and suffocated the population. The 300 year darkness ended in 1764 when a revolution occurred, aided by Zemeprievadai, and capitulated the Theocracy.

While these dark times had ceased, the scars left by the Silvs would remain in the region, and to this day, it has one of the lowest religious populations of any nation.

Early Auravas (1764 CE - 1890 CE)

After the fall of the Slivs, A new nation was established, called Auravas, after the Kingdom of Aurav. As a democratic nation, its citizens were much happier under it than the authoritarian system of the past 300 years.

The compulsory education in Auravas comprises of a 9 year comprehensive education from 1st to 9th grade, followed by a 3 year academic or vocational education. While 1st to 9th grade is technically in the same scHehool, it can be separated into a 6 year primary school and 3 year middle school, a convention commonly used in speech, teacher education, and sometimes even school buildings. Teachers follow state guidelines but are granted a lot of autonomy in teaching, and schools are provided an equal amount of support from the government. Private schools incredibly rare due to the quality of public schools and low religiosity of Auravas, and have strict regulations on tutuion-levying, are not allowed to carry out selective admissions, and must provide all education and social benefits that public schools do.

Auravasi classrooms do not have many students, seldom more than 20. The school environment is kept extremely clean, so much so that students sometimes take off socks and shoes in school.

Grading generally begins in 6th grade, and is graded on a scale of 4-10, with report cards being received twice a year, at the end of fall and spring terms. Even if a student gets a 4 on multiple subjects, usually the students are provided with extra support and tutoring instead of being held back. High stakes testing is virtually nonexistent.

However, vocational students may sometimes formally qualify for a university of applied sciences or, in some cases, university education, and conversely, graduates of academic schools. Tuition is free, and vocational and academic students are entitled to health care, free lunch, books, transport to the schools and other school activities like field trips. Vocational schools give out a certificate on graduation that allows students to attend polytechnic institutes. Academic schools have a "graduation exam", which is a series of tests that students take upon graduation. While these tests are partially used to judge acceptance into universities, in recent years the system has been shifting towards prioritizing things like overall scores throughout school and GPA, as well as other things.
