The Grand Duchy of Stražsko was founded in the early 9th century under a tribal chieftain as the first country in the region of Stražsko. During the Warring Kingdoms period of Aivintis, the Grand Duchy remained a neutral trading power. When Cascadii was formed they became very friendly towards the Grand Duchy. For centuries, the Grand Duchy stood. However, with the popular surge in democracy around the world and the growing idea of Communism, the people revolted in the late 19th century and established the communist Union of Stražsko. However, with a decline in trade, wealth, and power, Stražsko entered a dark age, and poverty quickly fell upon its people. In 1919, state’s military, in response to the growing poverty, rallied under the banner of General Ondřej Kadlec, who established the New Stražská Order (Nová Stražská Objednávka), a military dictatorship and stratocracy, with him as its supreme leader, or Ochránce. Corruption rose, and so did the poverty of the lower and middle classes, as the military upper class and the secret police, the Umlčet, hoarded all the wealth and power, and crushed any resistance to martial rule.
