Modern human settlement in the Ethalns and its vicinity dates back to 32,000 BCE, with evidence of the [[Wikipedia:Solutrean|Vitteck culture]] in the Zloergen Plateau.
 
The largest groups inhabiting the Ethalns at the time the Aethals came to sociopolitical power in 119 BCE and thus forming Aethalria as a nation state in the Moonstone Road was the Aethals themselves but also the Szols and Marrs. Under rule of the Aethals on the west bank of the Ider River, the Marrs and Szols inhabited two different parts of the east bank, near Lrau and Kazbech respectively. The Marrs are typically thought of as an earlier culture of the [[Marish people]]; they inhabited much of the northern east bank of the Ider River towards the Bishlan, and the Szols flourished in the south closer to RiventalRibenstadt today. Cava and Orc cultures were primarily eliminated from competition, and the [[Altfers]] were also gradually pushed further into the [[Bolvinian Plateau]], where they reside mostly within the [[Altrintschstatz]] today. Several cities were founded along the river and its tributaries by these early Ethalrian cultures including Aethalhafen, Iderfurt and Lrau. Eventually, Ethalrians expanded inland and struggled for control of fertile farmland against many bellicose inland tribes.

The Ethalrian armed forces played a key role in establishing the Ethalrian Empire as a prepotent world power in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. It was defeated by the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] in the [[Posolic Wars]] and the Ethalrian Empire signed a conditional surrender in the Treaty of Rosalica. [[File:NE parade 2022.png|right|thumb|300px|103rd Infantry Division during the Founding Marches.]] For eighty years Ethalria was out as a world power but managed to stay relevant with pioneering military advances, such as repeating rifles with smokeless powder and early contributions to telegraphic battlefield communication. The [[Great War]] prompted quick development of military equipment; the [[Wikipedia:7.7 cm FK 96 n.A.|7.7 cm FK 96 n.A.]] was the first and [[Wikipedia:7.7 cm FK 16|7.7 cm FK 16]] the last artillery pieces Ethalria developed; they also pioneered automatic small arms like the [[Wikipedia:MP 18|MP 17]] at the end of the war. Ethalria was the first in Aurora to develop airplanes and tanks.
 
The first nuclear detonation was conducted in 1953 by Ethalria in the [[Azure Sea]]. It was a [[Wikipedia:Nuclear_weapon_design#Implosion-type|implosion-type]] [[Wikipedia:Plutonium|plutonium]] device codenamed ''Scharlachrote Morgenröte''. In the 1970s, Ethalria's Wulesberg Project was a top secret development of a nuclear-capable satellite bombardment weapon codenamed ''Höllenfeuer'' (literally meaning Hellfire) that would pave the way for the weaponisation of space. It was due to launch on 1 February 1975 with the intent to obliterate [[Sani Bursil]] but Ethalria surrendered after ''Kevatuul'', [[Norograd|Noroist Axdel's]] own nuclear-capable satellite was comandeered by a Morst-Embertian black op mission and laid nuclear siege to RiventalRibenstadt, Karinthus, Glitzernd, Rorikton and Wulesberg; the destruction of Wulesberg effectively ended the Wulesberg Project. Following the [[Auroran Imperial War]], the Ethalrian Republic committed to nuclear disarmament whilst the Ethalrian Matriarchy did not. Due to a policy of nuclear disarmanent of the [[Ethalns]] by [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlia]] following the [[Auroran-Pacific War]], North Ethalria inherited no nuclear weapons.
 
Today, North Ethalria's military technology is expanded upon by the blueprints and works of both Ethalria's that preceded it. The Howitzer I is the main battle tank; the army utilises an array of armoured fighting vehicles like the [[Wikipedia:FNSS Pars|Großerlöwe]], [[Wikipedia:M110 howitzer|M110 howitzer]], [[Wikipedia:Mowag Piranha|Panzerjäger]] and [[Wikipedia:9K35 Strela-10|Königskobra-5]]. The [[Wikipedia: Streyr AUG|Pfeil AUG]] is the standard issue assault rifle and [[Wikipedia:Axdel Armed Forces#Small Arms|Alkurmeda AP-1]] the standard issue pistol.

===Transport===
[[File:KLIA MTB&Tower.jpg|left|thumb|225px|Karinthus International Airport has three landing strips and is the second biggest airport in the [[Ethalns]] behind RiventalRibenstadt (which has four landing strips) by passenger traffic.]]
As a central Auroran country that encompasses most of the north Mondsteinstraße, an old trade route linking north Aurora to the south; North Ethalria is a transport hub for the continent, with a road and rail network that is among the densest in Aurora. Paved roads stretch for over 780,229 kilometers (484,811 mi). Major routes, marked with the letter 'F' for 'Fahrbahn' (''[[Wikipedia:English language|Staynish]]: Roadway''), extends across the nation and connects all of the major cities of North Ethalria, as well as linking to other major cities across the rest of the [[Ethalns]]; but also provides cross-border routes to other non-Ethaln neighbours. The Zugverbindungslinie (ZL) train network provides North Ethalrian cities as well as other neighbouring countries with speeds of up to 300 km/h (190 mph).
