'''Ewenshire''' ({{IPAc-en|j|uː|n|ˈ|ʃ|ɜːr}} ''(YOON-
Settlement of the Eweic peoples into the cradle of the Highland Steeps began roughly 20,000 years ago. Various Eweic tribes fought over control of what is now called the midlands because of the abundance of rivers and fertile farming ground in the region. The petty kingdoms of the Ewe Region first began interacting with outside nations during the classical age, in which the first recorded contacts of the Ewe and the Alkari began to take place.
Formal unification of Ewenshire into the modern nation-state began on 1818 during [[Gascon Ackony of Balean|Ackony]]'s conquest of the Eweic Kingdoms, forming the Eweic Empire. Between 1818 and just before the start of the Great War, both legislative houses in Ewenshire worked to try and gradually lessen the powers of the Emperor, a title which became increasingly unpopular. The Empire briefly fought on the imperial’s side of the [[Great War]] until 1908, when then-emperor [[Will of Gough]] was assassinated and the Convention elected to leave the conflict. In the modernization efforts of the early 20th century, the Upper and Lower houses of Ewenshire drafted and passed a constitution which removed a large portion of the power previously associated with the emperor’s title and changed the name of the title to Shepherd.
== Etymology ==
Ewenshire comes from the old [[Eweic]] word ''Ewe'', literally meaning "hill," although in context the word is used to refer to the "people of the hills." The other half of the word, ''Shire'', also comes from old Eweic and is a postfix that refers to any land or place in which people live.
