The two immediate predecessor states of Ni-Rao were the State of Ni, a city-state on the northwestern coast of Gondwana that dates to approximately 8001800 BCBCE, and the State of Rao, which was originally located further inland and has been dated to approximately 6001600 BC. The primary population of both states were felines who are believed to have migrated to the coast from the interior of the continent. As the historical record indicates that the languages spoken in Ni and Rao were written in similar scripts with nearly identical grammar, it is believed that both groups of felines descend from the same population. Fragments of tablets found in Ni dated to 5001500 BCE show that the royal court of Ni was concerned at the time that "countrymen of Rao are almost indistinguishable from our own [citizens] and can commit crimes among us unnoticed."

Conflict between the two states was common, although not typically severe. Villages on the frontiers of both states often changed hands. In 450900 BCE an event known as the "Merger of the Crowns" occurred and Ni and Rao were merged into a single state. However, the records written in each state both indicate that it was their own army that conquered the other state. As literacy and the ability to write were both restricted to a select class of scribes in both states, written records are scant, and it remains uncertain if the Merger was caused by one state conquering the other or by mutual consent.

And then like 25003000 more years of stuff happens idk
