Hestonia

Hestonia or known officially the Kingdom of Hestonia, is an moderately sized island nation far off the coast of the Socialist Republic of Cloyvuria. This nation has a land area of 7 million square kilometers and a population of 9.7 million. It is also the birthplace of Shintoism and Taoism.

Scattered native settlements
Hestonia can trace its roots to as early as 1200 B.C. This began with hundreds of small villages, mainly populated by the natives, the Leotini People. They made up 98% of the nations population between 1200 and 700 B.C. Of the current population of the Hestonian people, a total of 77.3% are descendants of the Leotini People. Over time, these villages formed into many unions or coalition of villages.

Native heads form a single nation
In the year 628 B.C., there were few villages left after many of the former villages, joined into other larger rings of villages which had one leader. This left a total of 12 main leaders, each belonging to a specific area. A quick and very cooperative process lead to an election of 2 out of the 12 leaders. The majority vote of 8-4 named Maku Mikoto the new leader of a United Hestonia.

Nation leader forms Kingdom of Hestonia
With the death of Maku Mikoto in 624 B.C., the newly founded nation was left without a leader of governing body. A former chief of a village that was no longer existent, found it upon himself to lead the nation. He later crowned himself Tsar Akihiro Yamato and turned Hestonia into an Absolute Monarchy. The nation became The Kingdom of Hestonia.
