Early History
The first to dwell the land of Ainslie were the Karaiki-Novonen people, in 18,000BC who roamed the tablelands and highlands of the east. The west was colonised 6,000 years later, when Proto-Nyssiciens from modern-day Noronica entered the area. They soon became known as the Welling people.
The Karaiki-Novonen split into three subgroups, the Rathai, Ipachi and Rensi. The Ipachi people embarked south, east and west to find new territory after their experiences with seasonal flooding. The Rathai dwell on the eastern coast, where they learn to fish and live off the ocean. The Rensi people learn the secrets of agriculture and cattle herding, and they thrive. Meanwhile, the Welling people were creating social systems and organising themselves.
By 200AD, the former Karaiki tribes were distinctively different, with unique values and customs. The Rensi people developed Arn, an early language, the Irachi (Those of the Ipachi who did not leave) constantly fought with the more extremist groups amongst the Welling. The Rathai people, ethnically Rensians with customs and values similar to that of the Ipachi thrived as fisherman, expanded south and learnt how to live in diverse environments.
Formation of the Arnish Empire
Charles Dallama, who rose to the throne of the Rensian people in 1500, seeked to unite the Rathai and the Rensians into one empire. He successfully did this, and the Arnish Empire was formed. The two groups soon had a mutual language, Arnish, which was written down and widely used amongst both communities. The Arnish Empire then became a militaristic power, although it did not have a major tendency to expand. During this time, King Bagaskara IV of Pala (modern day Samudera) attacked the Arnish Empire, taking the city of Wastaf. They remained in this city for only two years from 1601 to 1603, before a combination of flooding and a large ground and naval assault repelled the invaders and brought Wastaf back into the empire. This forced Wastaf to rebuild once again.
Latter times of the Arnish Empire
Various other leaders succeeded Dallama through surprisingly peaceful means. In the 1640s the ‘Holy Expedition’, which was composed of a group of Christian missionaries who toured the Western Isles, spreading their faith reached the shores of the Arnish Empire. Two emperors were particularly enlightened by these missionaries, and began to focus on more the people and culture, rather than military like they did in the past. The Arnish began to disagree on many things, as war and the military no longer unified the empire. Burnett, the first christian emperor staged a revenge attack on the Pala Kingdom (modern-day Samudera) in 1652, where they took control of Rumput in 1963, razed Sripura to the ground in 1955, conducted a failed attempt to take parts of the northern coast. The Arnish then marched towards Kotapura in a surprise attack, and installed an Arnish Monarch. The Pala Kingdom then pushed back the Arnish forces and they fled in 1661.
The differing opinions and views regarding these policies, and even the leaders themselves. The north agreed with the current policies of the emperor, with the south wanting to resume a military focus and the east coast neutral on the matter. The fall of the Ahnslen Empire resulted in a landscape of hostile citystates.
Welling Expansion
The Welling people did not form an empire, but rather had a system in where friendly citystates were represented in the capital, Wellington. The group continued to be quiet achievers in Ainslie.
City-States and Unification
This landscape created different city states who held different relations with one another. The inconsistency in this was a growing friendly relationship between Arnslee Heights, Arnslee Central and Hendrik. Rathane (Taking its name from the Rathai people) were sympathetic to this alliance, but was unable to help due to nearby citystates which were hostile to the alliance. Wastaf, like many times during its history, was continuing to recover from ghastly floods and the constant need to rebuild and innovate.
In 1830, another great leader rose to take the helm of leadership in Ainslie. Michael Westfall-Moore, ruled over Arnslee Central with a stable hand, and forged an alliance which formed into a coalition in Arnslee Heights, Arnslee Central and Hendrik. He called this alliance the Coalition of the Northern Belt. This alliance was a formalised relationship, based off a previously informal relationship to protect one another against the other citystates.
This coalition grew, and allowed the citystates full autonomy over their lands, but ensured that there was still a spirit of cooperation between citystates. Westfall-Moore created the Coalition Council, a council with three representatives from the three city-states.
Transitional Times
In 1845, the southern citystates learnt of the prosperity of this arrangement, and forged peace with the Northern Belt in order for them to return to a golden age. It stood as the major political force in 1845-1860 but still allowed autonomy. Soon, the Welling people (who owned Wellington and Bordétirè) joined the Northern Belt. As the relationship grew between the citystates, they began to call the regions that their citystates used to control as ‘electorates’. Each of these electorates then voted one member to join the newly formed transitional council (a new version of the Coalition Council). Michael Westfall-Moore’s son, Jonathan became the representative for Wesland.
Jonathan Westfall-Moore seeked to blend the Welling and the Arnish into one group. He did this firstly, by endorsing a new language called Ahnslen, which was a fusion of Arnish (the major language of the Arnish people) and Entierre (the major language of the Welling people). For a short period of time, Jonathan Westfall created a bilingual society, where all Northern Belt citizens had to learn Welling and Arnish, and learn the two cultures. He then established the two languages as the official languages of the Coalition.
A new nation
Michael Westfall died in 1860, and his son continued his legacy of innovation and cooperation. Jonathan Westfall-Moore was voted by the electoral representatives to become the leader of the transitional council. In 1867, he became the first leader of the Unified Electorates of Ainslie. A new constitution was formed in the same year, and the transitional council was reformed into the electoral council. Representatives were then allocated to electorates based on population. The constitution also mandated a line of courts parallel to the different levels of government, in order to regulate, keep the government transparent and sensible. The Judicial Council was given constitutional powers to do this at a federal level. The constitution also set up a unicameral federal legislature, the Ahnslen Senate. It acts as the sole parliament. This constitution officially brought the nation together, controlling the land known as the Unified Electorates of Ainslie today.

It had taken three years for the Judicial Council to be fully in force and organised. They elected their first head of state in 1870, Matthew Caranoor. The Unified Electorates has experienced an unprecedented century of stability and growth under a right wing, conservative government. On a religious note, the Church of Ainslie, a traditional church which was set up by the Holy Expedition two centuries before had remained the dominant religious force in the nation. In 1924, a group of missionaries, part of the Great Invigilation visited Ainslie. Most notably, Aiden Creswell, a liberalist thinker in the christian faith, forged a relationship with a young priest from the Church of Ainslie.
This young priest was Robin Whind. Whind and Creswell built the theological and administrative foundations of the Whindin Church and a new christian sect, called Whindism. This church was officially formed in the 1960s, almost 40 years after
Whind and Creswell first met. This decade created a shift from conservatism to liberalism, based of the tenets of Whindism. As the Whindin Church grew, the Church of Ainslie became openly hostile and antagonistic to the church, displaying characteristics viewed by the Ahnslens as non-christian and egotistic. After this decade of hardship, the 70s came, a significantly better time for Whindism. In the 1970s, the Whindin faith began to expand beyond Ahnslen borders. By 1982, Whindism became the majority religion of Ainslie.
Whindism and the liberalist movement
Main Article: Whindism
The 21st century brought the first generation of Whindist born Ahnslens into the political sphere, the religion sparked a significant shift in politics in Ainslie.
The Prime Minister of the time held an election, believing that this liberalist shift would increase the number of voters against him in years to come, as his conservative party (the CRC party) would fall out of relevance. This liberalist shift was strong enough to force a new party to be born out of a need to cater to these new Whindists. The ACEGAD party was then formed, which then created a coalition with the Liberal Leftist Science and Technology Party (LLST) in order for the party to grow.
Modern Ainslie
This election placed Prime Minister Andrew Kenzai into leadership, and convinced the Judicial Council to elected Joseph Shirazi into the leadership. The ACEGAD LLST coalition created a liberal centre-right party which focused on social development and scientific innovation, with a moderate core. Kenzai established new immigration policies, allowed for a noticeable expansion in the Foreign Affairs Ministry, legalized Lesbian and Gay Marriage and forged a spirit of cooperation with like-minded nations.
