=Etymology=
The term "Balistria" and "Balistrian" come from the ancient word referring to those who inhabited the island. "Balis" is the name of the island, "-ria" or "-ia" means "from the area; from the region" (Balistria means "those who are from Balis)
 
The word, Balistria, originated from the tribe of Ursines that lived in the region: Bal'stars (pronoucned: Bel-star). The meaning of the word is disputed. Some Balistrian scholars believe it was named after one of the Great Warriors after the vanquish of the Elves, but this explanation is not accepted outside of Balistria. Alksearians scholars believe that the word is derived from the words "Belsa" (meaning "Ursine") and Stars or Starsia (meaning "of the land; of the area) (Ursine of the Area).
 
=History=
The history of Balistria is typically divided into three distinct periods: The Ancient Elven Balistria, The rise of Urisine Balistria, and modern Balistria. The history of the Kingdom of Balistria ends with their annexation by ALksearia following their defeat in the [[Balistrian Coalition War]]
 
==Early Inhabitants==
The Earliest inhabitants of modern-Balistria was comprised of Alkari Elves and Ursines living in the region. In ancient Balistria, both the Ursines and the Elves lived together in relative harmony. Groups of communities were formed around the idea of trading between the tribes. These tribes lasted until the rise of the first city-state near modern day Ouroborous. It was from here where the first term "Balistrian" was used to refer to those who came from the island. The island would remain in small city-states or small provinces until the Impalazen Empire came in and conquered the island.
 
==Age of Ursines==
 
==Formation of the Kingdom==
[Will need to consult Sammy to further develop this part of their history. Also might have the Kingdom be formed at another time. for now this section is a WIP and will be for a while]
==The Rise of the Ursines (1450-1590)==
After the collapse of the Impalaza Union, the first natural Balistrian King was an Elf from Ouroborous.
==Operation Elven Fall and the Aftermath(1590-1620)==
 
==Golden Age of Balistria==
 
==Fall of the Kingdom==
This Kingdom finally ended after it was annexed by Alksearia after the end of the [[Balistrian Coalition War]].
The Fall of the Kingdom started with the ascension of the last king, Abdul al-Ayoub, in the year 1960. His rise to the throne marked a period of instability within the Kingdom. The Balistrian Imperial Party had been on an initial rise, along with shaken confidence in the monarchy after the disastrous Great War and the even more disstrous Alksearian-Balistrian War.
 
This Kingdom finally ended after it was annexed by Alksearia after the end of the Balistria Coalition War. The Kingdom was split into three Federal Districts with an appointed governor over each district with a king appointed by the Monarch of Alksearia overseeing it all.
