Kostuvian Empire
The Kostuvian Empire was an empire that stretched throughout the continent Aurora, and is the predecessor of Kostuvastan, Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia.
Prehistoric Kostuvastan
At around 50,000 B.C.E., early humans arrived at the continent Aurora from Yasteria via the archipelago that consists of what is now modern-day FPS, East Malaysia, Lawzlowia, and Musfiqistan. The first known settlement resides on the easternmost island of modern day Xiopothos, and hundreds of settlements can be found along the northern coast of Aurora. These north-coast settlements are believed to be the ancestors of the nations Kostromastan, Baykalia, and Tuvaltastan, as DNA tests from the bones discovered in these settlements are most similar to the culture groups of former Kostuvastan.
Ancient Kostuvastan
The first mention of a unified Kostuvastan dates back as far as 2,500 B.C.E. on the coast of the largest lake of Aurora, with the discovery of a mosaic portraying a crude map of the lake as the center, with land surrounding it. This is believed to be the oldest map of Aurora. The settlement the map was found in was destroyed and abandoned because of an earthquake of 8.2 magnitude. For another 800 years, the continent of Aurora consisted of numerous tribes, until another re-unified region formed in 1,700 B.C.E. that sprawled throughout the continent. This ancient empire is the direct predecessor of the modern-day nations Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia. The empire did not last for a very long time, however, as the Western ethnicities on Aurora began migrating in the area, and with it, their diseases. Being forced further east, and leaving the sick and dying behind, a new country was formed in , that country being Kostuvastan.
