==Post-Colonial Era==
The now-independent South Hills started off as incredibly small. Originally consisting of only the codexian-speaking areas of Concord, South Hills was a weak nation relative to its neighbors. In an effort to expand their own influence a conference was proposed by the three Ulvrikian-speaking nations of Oakenheim, Rødhøyde, and Vesptredia to form a federal nation as a protection of sorts against the influence of the Elishan Empire to the south and as a buffer against adversaries in
===The War of Wojali (1768-1779)===
The people of southwestern Concord (referred to as the Ladoese) reformed into a major political adversary to Elishan after Wojali the Unifier conquered the three Ladoese nations of Gideuella, Canuweya, and Arsquella to form the despotic Kingdom of Wojauella in 1762. This new empire began encroaching upon the Chincuatlan and Elishan empires, proving to be an existential threat to the two. In the 1790's, War of Wojali was significant and devastating enough that the Elishan empire met with South Hills to negotiate the Elishan Compromise of 1772. This treaty re-incorporated South Hills into a much larger entity including both the original South Hills and the new Elishan region, an autonomous entity that was allowed to maintain its political structure, though it would now be required to send a number of representatives as a part of the South Hills legislature. This new South Hills, reconfigured into the official name of the United Confederation of Concordian States, had doubled in size, stretching from the Eyjarian Sea down to the Mantlitoyatl, a major river that served as the boundary with the Chincuatlan Empire. By reincorporating, both the semi-independent Elishan region and South Hills provided a significant enough resistance against Wojauella to prevent their expansion. In 1779, Wojali the Unifier died of injuries sustained in the Battle of Cozochtli, ending the war and the expansionist efforts of Wojauella.
