Ognia (Great White South)

Pre-History
The region of modern day Ognia was first colonized by the Fuegians of Tierra del Fuego. The Fuegian people would expand their culture southward and would evolve. The term Og was used to describe those of Antarctica by the Fuegians of America. Over time, the Ogs would colonize most of the region west of the Transantarctic mountains. Over time, different cultures would form in the region.

Russian colonialism
Russian explorer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen would make first contact with the Og in 1820. Russian influences in the region would soon expand. By 1900, Russia controlled most of the continent on the Pacific coast.

Independence
Movements to gain national rule for the people has been an issue since the beginning of Russian colonialism. In 1902, the movement to gain independence grew into an issue as a stance of war broke out in the region. A new movement formed in which the three main tribes of the region (the Medonians, the Serebronians, and the Zolotonians) would unite together against the Russian occupation. The flag of the movement was a vertical tricolor showing the metal colors of the three tribes (copper, silver, and gold). The movement would reach full circle in 1926 in which the region declared independence.
