History of California

Tribal era

In the tribal era the country was know as Sinkyone where it was a minor state for a long while where nothing was written down. This made oral tradition and paintings the best form of information.

War of Brothers

After a strong chief know as Diltwa with the help of Mythological Chipmunks known to them as Sinkyone Chipmunks helped him discover agriculture that made him very strong and made the population boom. This happened for years in the country but then the Iberians came around and he and his brother came in disagreement that first was just a minor argument about how they should interact with the Iberian Crown. This eventually became a real division in the country. This led to civil war with both brothers seeking support of the people and the army. Chief Diltwa was the conservative who wanted to preserve the Sinkyone way of life and the power of the medical elders and their aid. His brother Paulo was on the other hand quite progressive and pro-Iberian. He wanted to adopt Iberian ideals and government to help to stop feuds with other tribes. This war was more then a half century long and was won by Paulo because the Iberian support he got from them.

Foundation of the Kingdom

Chief Paulo directly Declared the Kingdom of Sinkyone on Iberian model even if his country sounded like a European one it was quite tribal and more a kingdom in name then in practice. The king did in need of Vatican aid converted to Roman Catholicism but for him it was just known as Christianity.

The Silent Age

This age was well written and documented but the nation mostly experienced a great technological leap with the Iberians providing guns to Mzerkans. While that happened, one of their kings married his sons to a daughter of a Sinkyone chief. This made his son both ruler of the Sinkyones and the Mzerkans after they died but this did not incorporate the two kingdoms but made them just in a personal union. Eventually, after years and two kings, they formally became one Kingdom under the name of The Kingdom of Mzerka and Wiyot or "Reino de Mzercia e Wiyoté". This was one of the most loyal nations to the Iberian crown with it allowing Iberian demands without any questioning.
