Cities

 * Zavvaku City: Also known as ZC for short, Zavvaku City was the first city ever built on Angion.


 * Sanny: The second nation to pop up - Forest - build Sanny after observing the inhabitants of the world's first city, Zavvaku City. They also constructed their culture to be similar to Zavvaku City, causing them to be Industrious as well.  Their inspiration would cause them to feel benevolent to the inhabitants of Zavvaku City, and Sanny would not only be the first to open up trade routes with ZC and the other nearby nations that would sprout up, but also would be the first nation to be purchased by ZC.


 * Shoeng: The third nation to spring up - Orange - built Shoeng, which would become the planet's second super power, behind ZC. Like nations that would follow them, they looked up to the inhabitants of ZC, however their technology was based instead upon that of the Sannyites while their culture was instead militaristic by nature.  They invented powered oceanic travel and built the first off-shore spice derrick. Eventually the Shoengese would bring war to Macus and eventually take it over before turning its eyes across the sea to Phran and overtaking it, as well.  After purchasing Sanny, ZC would turn its eyes to Shoeng and quickly set up a trade route with them as well; however this trade route would fail when an epic Spince Sawtank would be attracted to ZC's trade runner, which would lead the monstrosity into the undefended city of Shoeng.  ZC, not wanting any more of its citizens to perish, chose to leave Shoeng to its fate and moved on to Orange Nation's secondary city, Macus.  Shoeng would lose control of Macus willingly to ZC, and unwillingly lose Phran to an Oronto crusade.  Djibon and Shoeng would go to war over the spice derricks, and while ZC sought to end the war by cutting off Djibon's ability to build ship fleets, Shoeng still fell during a desperate attempt to retake Phran from Oronto.


 * Macus: The 4th city to ever spring forth on Angion, Macus was an economic nation created by the Crimson Nation. The warrior tribes of Shoeng saw the Macusians as an easy target and brought war to their people, quickly taking it over roughly the same time that ZC would come to purchase Sanny.  Orange Nation's militaristic ways would lead to little happiness of the Macusians in following years, with little entertainment and high emphasis on factory production to try and compete with ZC.  The Macusians were then forced into service to the Shoengese to bring war to Phran, their neighbor across the sea.  The unhappiness of its citizens would lead to protests of the Macusians, who would then begin to riot in the streets when word reached them that the Orange Nation was failing to protect its own homecity, Shoeng, from a monster attack.  It was at this time that ZC stepped in and offered to purchase Macus as a way to aid the Shoengese, giving them the funds they would require should they choose to save Shoeng.  Once ZC owned Macus, it was converted from a military city back to its economic roots, and the citizens were immediately appeased.


 * Djibon: A militaristic city founded by the Yellow Nation and the world's third super power. They possessed impressive military strategy, and built their city-state within a swamp to bog down any potential threats, while building their structures on massive pillars both to keep them above the water as well as to make invaders have a difficult time reaching the structures.  The equally-militaristic Shoengese would often joke that the yellow of their flags was an interpretation of their cowardice (hiding away upon stilts); however, the Djiboni saw it more as warning colors, taking them from a poisonous creature that inhabited their swampland home.  They would first bring down Grevingvi in order to utilize their coastal city to build seafaring vessels.  They would next take down Kipei.  While they asked ZC to go to war against the crippled Shoeng nation, ZC refused but lent Djibon several thousand sporebucks for their planned war efforts, mainly to remain in their good graces.  Soon afterwards, Djibon initiated its war plans against Shoeng and begun the 2200 year long Great Oceanic War.  To attempt to keep both nations alive, ZC bought out Grevingvi from Djibon with the hopes of ending the feud by cutting off Djibon's access to the ocean, but Shoeng still fell to Djibon, bringing the first end of a super powered nation.


 * Porti: A religious city founded by the Blue Nation. Their technology was based upon that of the Sannyites; it is believed that they were founded by religious individuals who left Sanny on a pilgrimage to find their place in the world.  While they mostly kept to themselves and somehow managed to remain unscathed by Djibon's onslaught, they would begin a quiet war against Oronto after growing tired of the zealous nation's crusade against Phranics.  They invented the first hover technology that would eventually see use in Angionese spacecraft.


 * Phran: An economic city founded by the Purple Nation. It lasted only a short time - 700 years.  The Macusians, having been conquered by the Shoengese, were made to aid their new masters in conquering Phran, as well.  However Oronto wanted the city for itself both for its strategic value as well as the Oronto's zealous belief system leading them to believe they had to purge its citizens of the taint of military might; Oronto would finally take the city after 6600 years of combat.  Desperate to retake the city and keep their foothold, Shoeng tried to retake the city, with Macusian vessels aiding with a trade route; Shoeng would fall before it succeeded, leaving Macus to reap the benefits of claiming the city on its own.


 * Grevingvi: An economic city founded by the Pink Nation. It would not be long before it was taken over by the Djiboni, who transformed it into a military society and their forward command post.  During the Great Oceanic War, ZC saw the Grevingvians protesting their forced use as cannon fodder sailors against the Shoengese; ZC used its Macusian yachts to set up a trade route with Grevingvi and quickly bought it out from under Djibon in an attempt to end the feud between Djibon and Shoeng and keep two client nations; this attempt failed, but Grevingvi was saved from a militaristic life and was converted back into an economic nation.


 * Kipei: An economic city founded by the Brown Nation. It followed in the footsteps of the Djiboni, but did so with the intent of protecting its coffers as well as its citizens.  Unfortunately for them, the Djiboni did not take kindly to this "technological thievery", and eventually attacked the city-state, leveling it in their own name yet rebuilding the structures the same, as a way to symbolize that "Djiboni technology is Djiboni's alone".


 * "Oronto...something": A religious city founded by the Red Nation. They were initially complacent and let other city-nations go about their business without interfering in any fashion, and it was during this time that they invented holographic images, perfecting it to allow projections hundreds of times the size of the object projected - it was exclusively used during Mass, to preach to the populace.  Unfortunately for some, seeing Phran get attacked by the combined armies of the Shoengese and the Macusians led the then-current Orontoid pontifex to consider them abominations to their god and all creation, thus initiating a 6600-year crusade against Phran in the belief that the populace must be cleansed.  This led to a bitter rivalry with Shoeng, and unintentionally the dissolution of the Shoeng nation.  A rival religious nation, Porti, begun a cold war with Oronto as well, indicating that Oronto's civilization was not well liked on the planet (Djibon was willing to absorb them as with all other nations and ZC was cautious of them yet wished to turn a profit). While considering ZC to also be unclean and unfaithful, the two nations struck an alliance of sorts and Oronto allowed ZC to purchase Phran from them.

 * 2,541,950,000: Pereysab is born.
 * 2,557,020,000: The Grox descend upon Angion to witness the Zavvaku tame their first domesticated livestock - Shallies. Apparently either interested in what the Zavvaku have domesticated or angry that the Zavvaku are obviously sapient now, the Grox abduct the Shally and depart from Angion.  This event very quickly makes its way into Zavvaku mythology.

Upon returning from the final conflict, the tribe's warriors see an epic Artott watching the battlefield with curiosity.  As the Zavvaku pass by, the Artott surprisingly does not act aggressively towards them.  This becomes the beginning of Zavvaku religion, which would progress into its apex during the civilization period.

 * 2,558,730,000: Over the last 5,000 years the Zavvaku and Lavender slowly become closer to one another, and several more concerts are held. At the end of this period, the two races have forged a friendship that would last until the Lavender's untimely extinction.

Civilization stage

 * 2,558,738,000: The original tribe of Zavvaku invent the concept of a city, and Zavvaku City is born. This name comes from the fact that other sapient races existed at the time still, while the Zavvaku wished to preserve the knowledge of who built the city to their descendants.  Ironically, the Zavvaku would be the only surviving sapient race in not too many more years...
 * 2,558,738,000: The style of the Zavvaku changes, ushering in a new sense of fashion.
 * 2,558,738,300: The Zavvaku invent land travel, with the creation of the PR Speeder. Initially a hand-cranked device, it would soon evolve to run in a manner analogous to a motor vehicle.
 * 2,558,738,400: The Zavvaku collaborate to create the idea of a mall environment, where shopping can all be done in a single structure. This structure is named the Tower of Expenditure.
 * 2,558,738,500: Nuclear fusion is suddenly discovered, through a process which also refines spice. This two-pronged effect causes the creation of the Spice Fusion Plant, which then begins to provide power to the masses, providing its civilians with easy electricity.
 * 2,558,738,500: With the invention of easy-to-come-by electricity, suburbs spring up. The Residential District is a successful venture, and many inhabitants begin to reside in such locations.
 * 2,558,738,700: ZC, still the only city on Angion, commissions the invention and placement of 4 spice extractors to better obtain spice from spice geysers.
 * 2,558,739,500: Trade routes between ZC and Sanny open up.
 * 2,558,739,500: The city of Djibon is founded.
 * 2,558,740,800: The city of Phran is founded.
 * 2,558,741,300: Sanny is purchased by ZC.
 * 2,558,741,500: Phran is conquered by the Orange Nation.
 * 2,558,741,500: The city of Grevingvi is founded.
 * 2,558,741,800: A trade route between ZC and Shoeng is proposed by ZC.
 * 2,558,741,800: The ZC-Shoeng trade route is abruptly brought to an end when the brings the attention of a nearby monster, which destroys the ZC PR Speeder and then proceeds into Shoeng, beginning Shoeng's decimated downfall.
 * 2,558,742,500: A formal alliance is forged between ZC and the Orange Nation.
 * 2,558,742,900: A trade route between ZC and Macus is proposed by the nation of Zavvaku City.
 * 2,558,743,400: A trade route is finally forged between ZC and Macus amidst the Macusian riots.
 * 2,558,743,700: ZC offers to buy Macus from the Shoengese and calm the riots for them. Shoeng accepts, as they have a bigger problem on their hands - their homecity has been under attack by a giant monster for hundreds of years now, destroying anything new that they come to build and decimating its population.
 * 2,558,743,800: ZC finally fully converts Macus back to its economic roots, bringing an 'abrupt' end to the unhappiness of the Macusians.
 * 2,558,743,800: The Yellow Nation attacks Kipei, using its combined forces from Djibon and Grevingvi to level it.
 * 2,558,743,800: The Zavvaku of ZC have plans for the Macus docks; inspired by a species of fish-equivalents in the marketplaces, they construct company yachts to spread their commerce to the planet's other supercontinent.
 * 2,558,743,800: Phran is attacked by the zealous forces of Oronto...
 * 2,558,743,800: Kipei finally completely falls to the Yellow Nation, and is rebuild as a military base of operations for the growing superpower.
 * 2,558,748,500: The first discussion of things like recycling, microscopic organisms and the philosophical theory that everything is being controlled by a much larger being outside what would later be understood to be the universe, begin within the borders of Macus. This leads Macus to become the planet Angion's leading science division during their stellar and later their interstellar era.
 * 2,558,749,100: Djibon, having watched the citizens of ZC and knowing that both Shoeng and Phran were under attack, contacted ZC and asked if they would go to war against Shoeng. While initially torn due to knowing that the Djibon government was larger and would last longer, ZC eventually declined the offer, leading to somewhat worse relations between the two nations for a few months, before the ZC government paid that of Djibon 7,998 Sporebucks for their war efforts, cementing an alliance with the Yellow Nation.
 * 2,558,749,100: Immediately following the official declaration of alignment, ZC proposed a trade route between the cities of Macus and Grevingvi, made by boat. Having only just allied with the original nation and due to them not declaring war on Shoeng, Djibon was skeptical at first and stated they had to consider the offer.  During this time, Djibon through way of Grevingvi takes over the very first spice derrick ever built on the planet, angering Shoeng as due to their capitol city's horrible situation, they had actually moved hundreds of citizens to live on these derricks, hundreds of miles away from the encroaching daikaiju that threatened their home.  Hearing about the attack, Shoeng responded by sending in their own fleet of paddlehawks, leading to the Great Oceanic War.
 * 2,558,749,100: Realizing that the seas could soon become a deathtrap for those not involved in the war, the ZC government orders the Macusian yachts to quickly move in on Grevingvi, despite that the battle was taking place right outside its borders in the surrounding waters. They were hoping to succeed in buying out Grevingvi and ending the two factions' war prematurely while maintaining two clients to sell to, instead of being reduced to one.  The first battle of the Great Oceanic War is short but sweet, and the yachts arrive just in time to see the last aquatic enforcer be destroyed, with its 5-Zavvaku crew bailing overboard - the other two vessels had only recently been sunk but it was too late for their crewmen.  The yachts approached the survivors, but were surprised as a Shoengese rocket smashed down upon the remnants of the ship, exploding and killing two of its crew.  One was immediately picked up while the other two had to be chased after to be brought on board.  These survivors were taken back to Grevingvi harbor.
 * 2,558,749,100: Having witnessed the risk the ZC took to save Grevingvian citizens, the ruling Djiboni government immediately accepted the trade route proposal.
 * 2,558,749,500: The Great Oceanic War had continued for 400 years, mostly in the way of random skirmishes across the sea; Shoeng this entire time showed their prowess for combative superiority and had sunk every last Grevingvi aquatic enforcer, leading to hundreds of Grevingvi casualties. As such, the Grevingvi populace grew despondent and depressed, watching Shoeng kill their beloved brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers aboard the enforcers.  During this time Shoeng pushed to take back their ancient derrick as well.  Djibon pushed Grevingvi to continue the battle, leading to the yachts from Macus being their only means of supplies.
 * 2,558,749,500: The Grevingvi Protests occur, in which the citizens declare their growing distaste for the overbearing Djiboni government and their growing preference for the ZC, who kept them fed and clothed and many times, alive during the Great Oceanic War.
 * 2,558,749,500: A solitary paddlehawk attacks the ancient derrick, and in response the Grevingvi send an aquatic enforcer out to deal with it as the Macusian ships disappear along the horizon. The ship takes heavy damage from rockets smashing into their hull, and realizing their fate has been sealed, they launch a final rocket, which finally destroys the derrick put in place by the Grevingvi naval fleet earlier.  Right as a final rocket from their solitary enemy barrels down upon them, they release their own derrick deployment pod onto the spice node, reclaiming it for Shoeng but sacrificing the lives of all three sailors on-board.  These three sailors become heroes in the annals of Shoengese history.  This event becomes known as Paddlehawk Down, and is played to the Shoengese and the Phranites under that title in motion picture format.  It tops the charts as best picture produced on Angion for several decades.  Due to its intense popularity amongst the more militaristic societies on Angion, it is remade many times throughout the years; it is released every decade at least once following the incident, as motion picture technology improves.
 * 2,558,749,800: Porti invents hover technology, and equips it to their land vessels, known as the Zulag Slogger. It is often used to study local wildlife, such as the Krugg.  They are notable for their extremely fast speeds thanks to a lack of terrain to contend against.
 * 2,558,750,200: Kipei discovers a cure for blander, a debilitative disease that ended in 80% fatality rate within 10 Angion years. Due to an alignment with its ruling government, Djibon, ZC and by extension Sanny and Macus also receive the cure, although it is directly withheld from Shoeng and Phran due to their ongoing war.  Porti and Oronto do not get direct access to the cure but are allowed to pay excruciating prices for cure administering within the Djiboni cities.  ZC chooses to withhold the cure outwardly, yet sells it in back alleys to the Shoengese and Phranite citizens for the profit of it.  The situation is kept under wraps from the Djiboni government as ZC plays both sides.
 * 2,558,750,500: Porti unofficially declares war against the Orontos when they send two of their Zulag Sloggers to overtake an Oronto spice refinery out of the blue (no pun intended as Porti is the "blue nation"). This was inspired in the Portian mindset due to seeing the Oronto as horrible zealots due to their hundreds-of-years-long crusade against Phran, leaving their citizens at home to suffer as their most capable citizens were sent into Phranite territory to forcefully convert them to their religion as a way to "cleanse" them of Shoeng's military might.  Porti is quiet about their attack, but it does not go unnoticed for long when the spice from that refinery stops rolling in.
 * 2,558,750,600: After 6800 years of crusading, Phran finally falls to the brunt of the Oronto warrior-missionaries, making Oronto the fourth super power in the world - much to the chagrin of Porti, whom had just begun war with them 100 years prior. Immediately setting their sights abroad they construct a vessel they had developed plans for years before - a vessel known as the musing mariner.  Filled with Phranite escapees, three still-docked Phranite paddlehawks immediately attack the first musing mariner out of dry dock.  The musing mariner attempts to convert the citizens lying within the paddlehawks but they are unswayed.  A fourth paddlehawk, returning from a mission out at sea related to the Great Oceanic War, sees what has occurred and fires the final rocket that destroys the musing mariner prototype.  All three crewmembers perish fire their ejection seats to try and survive, but two are hit directly by incoming rockets.  The third is knocked unconscious as the fourth paddlehawk drives over him, smashing him in the skull with a paddle; he is subsequently eaten my local carnivorous ichthyoids.
 * 2,558,750,600: While Grevingvi (or rather, Djibon forceful hand at Grevingvi's trigger) attempts to take back the ancient derrick with another of its aquatic enforcers, Macusian yachts arrive at Grevingvi with goods. Grevingvi rejoices and ZC sees its opportunity to snag the city out from under Djibon's iron fist and possibly bring a premature halt to the Great Oceanic War.  Djibon accepts ZC's offer of 32,000 sporebucks, and hands over rule of Grevingvi.
 * 2,558,750,600: Once more, the rulers of ZC quietly reveal their true nature, and work to return Grevingvi to its original societal design - that of an economic society. Unbeknownst to the other nations, ZC has long set its eyes on returning Phran to its former economic glory, especially now that it is no longer ruled by the Shoengese.
 * 2,558,750,600: While the Great Oceanic War is not actually stopped, the Djiboni nation are no longer able to build more ships, quietly turning the war in favor of the Shoengese. However
 * 2,558,750,620: At Grevingvi, ZCitizens and Macusian scientists mix with Grevingvians to make a first test flight. It goes very well, and other nations catch onto this idea very quickly, yet ZC for some reason holds back on the technology; instead of using it for themselves, they simply sell the plans to other nations at top buck.  This was the legacy of the then-current ZC head, who chose to sell everything instead of progress further in his nation's own technology.  He was widely considered a fool for doing this, and the nation of ZC would not reach air until the planet's first launch into space.
 * 2,558,750,900: Grevingvi is finally successfully reintegrated as an economic nation. While the Shoengese and the Djiboni nations both are still great allies to the nation of ZC, the Oronto see their expansion as a threat yet their failure to commit to the air as a sign of potential weakness.  They become neutral to the efforts of ZC, being the first nation ever to do so.  ZC catches wind of this and seeks to remedy the situation, however; they fear little as Shoengese paddlehawks protect them from the coastline on routine patrols while Djiboni war limos protected them from the surrounding land area (even though war limo divisions were at the time concentrated around Kipei, this still lay between Oronto territory and that of ZC).
 * 2,558,750,900: ZC contacts Oronto; the pontifex immediately gloats over their successful crusade over Phran, as a sort of roundabout way to threaten or warn the ZCitizens due to ZC's known alignment with Shoeng at the time of the takeover. The then-current head of ZC quietly thinks the Oronto pontifex a fool; it had taken them over 6,000 years to take over a single city, and the crusade itself left Oronto in a state of self-induced famine during that time.  However, the ZC head initiates a plan to quietly take Phran from the zealots, whose citizens were not buying as much ZC/Sanny/Macus goods and services, believing (or rather, feeling they were required to believe) that the Source would provide most of what they needed to them.  Providing ample funds to the Oronto pontifex (hereafter referred to as the "Orontifex") causes the semi-corrupt Orontifex to consider ZC to be less of a potential threat due to being "dumb enough to hand money over to a perfect stranger".  He ends his neutral feelings towards ZC and eagerly hopes to receive more funds from the foolish nation; his wishes would soon come to pass.
 * 2,558,751,000: Shoeng returns to Phran, sending rockets in its direction in order to retake the city from those to took it from them. Little do they know that their long-time allies, the ZCitizens, also plan to take Phran as their own. In response, Oronto finally releases a second musing mariner to deal with the ancient Phranic ships that had fled the area; however, its sailors immediately flee the battle after realizing who is piloting the Shoengese vessels.  These Shoeng ships, now emblazoned with memorial insignias to indicate that they are the same ships, were purposefully sent back to Phran manned with crews from the lineage of the survivors of the crusade.  This is not only for retribution's sake, but also tactical in nature - Shoeng believes that sending angered sailors trained to hone that massive frustration can battle much better than those who weren't descendants of those who suffered at the hands of Oronto.  Seeing the gallows that hang from below the current Phranic structures only further angers these citizens.
 * 2,558,751,000: Not wanting to miss their opportunity to take Phran for themselves as quickly as possible, Macus contacts Phran during the Shoeng attack. Despite the static interference, Phran gets the message and wires to Oronto about a proposed trade route.  Having only just begun to consider ZC to not be a real threat, the Orontifex sits on the idea until his death.
 * 2,558,751,000: Macus sends yachts to Phran to try to levée a response on the trade route. the Shoengese ships are surprised to see the yachts arrive in the area and immediately wire them about the potential danger and their plan, but the yacht crews assure the Shoengese that they are there to help save the citizens; the ensuing confusion of two groups "working side-by-side to work against one another" would confuse the Phranic occupiers and would make Phran's fall all the easier with even less innocence annihilated in the process.  Shoeng agrees to this idea and the Macusian ships are allowed to contact Phran about the proposed trade route without interference from the Shoengese.
 * 2,558,751,300: The Orontifex's successor finally responds to the request. Seeing propelled rockets constantly falling upon Phran, he accepts the offer, considering Phran potentially lost anyway and so they may be either able to receive supplies against the Shoengese threat or instead pawn the city off onto ZC should the battle turn heavily in favor of Shoeng, causing ZC to essentially lose the city instead of Phran, who could then go in with more forces than Shoeng would have left and clean them out of the city and retake it again.
 * 2,558,751,300: During a routine trip to Phran for their trade route, the yachts notice that the Shoengese vessels are acting more desperately than before. The Shoengese ships do not respond to hails, and so the Macusian vessels shrug their shoulders and continue with their mission.  On their way away from the coast to head back to Macus, they finally receive word from the Shoeng ships - the vessels state that they themselves had only just heard - Shoeng had finally fallen to Djibon.  The ZC-owned ships were shocked and alerted the ZC head, who insisted on taking the Shoengese ships back to port at Macus where they would be stored in dry-dock to prevent their potential destruction, while the Shoengese citizens from the vessels would be allowed to quietly integrate into any ZC-owned society of their choosing.  They accepted this offer, and over the next several months, fleeing Shoengese refugees crossed into ZC-owned cities (almost exclusively into Sanny and ZC; Macus was much further to travel than either of those two cities to be practical and only surviving crews from other paddlehawks and refugees from the derricks made it to Grevingvi).
 * 2,558,751,300: The Great Oceanic War ends after 2200 years of conflict with the elimination of Shoeng, the orange nation.
 * 2,558,751,400: In a proposal made with the remaining Shoeng refugees, and to increase their own wealth (but mostly for the sake of the surviving refugees...probably), ZC sends its main yacht fleet from Macus to occupy and utilize Shoeng's northern spice derrick location, which Djibon had not yet reached as it was far from their borders. Plans to take the ancient derrick that the war was started over were also set into motion at the same time, building a small accompaniment of yachts at the harbor at Grevingvi and sending them there before Djibon could be arsed to stop subjugating the remaining original Shoengese populace.
