	===Silver ~~Utopian~~ Period===		The Golden period in Utopian history refers to the period of time under GIU, or specifically the reigns of [[Arthur I Hazelwood]], [[Arthur II Hazelwood]], [[Arthur III Hazelwood]] and the early portion of [[Andrew II Hazelwood]]'s reign.

			On the 2nd of January 1955 RE a vast fleet of ships arrived on the southern coast of Utopia, in the city of Torast (formerly Magistra). On it was Arthur I Hazelwood, his brother Andrew I Hazelwood, and an army of foreign mercenaries and attaches. The surprisingly disciplined force engaged in no looting and committed no war-crimes during the conquest of Torast, to the shock of the locals, who were used to the brutal city-state warfare of Utopia.

			Arthur I Hazelwood rapidly established an administrative state, mostly by subsuming the local state, but he notably integrated foreign experts in matters including law and economics. These experts had come as part of his initial invasion force. The Hazelwoods bolstered their forces with local Utopian mercenaries, paying in some cases as much as double the usual rates.

			With his newly reinforced army, Arthur I Hazelwood subjugated the neighbouring city of Tvr the next year. Then Seviens and Niel a year after. Col the year after that. By 1960, a mere half a decade after his initial landing, GIU encompassed almost the entire southern coast of the nation. That same year marked a number of changes for the fledgling state. The first was a shift away from mercenary armies. Whilst the foreign mercenaries brought by Arthur I Hazelwood were disciplined, that was not the case for the local hires. Utopian records insist that whilst under the Hazelwoods' employ they towed the line and committed no war crimes, but historians dispute the likelihood of this. The newly established GIU military was mostly composed of veteran mercenaries from the prior five years of conflict, but also bolstered by veterans from the conquered states, and by some small number of volunteers from the newly conquered civilian population. These troops were bolstered by technologies pioneered by Andrew I Hazelwood, who had spent the time developing weapons and finding building that could produce them.

			The next year, in 1961, GIU invaded all their Utopian neighbours, and won. Completely conquering three states and taking territory from three others. By 1963 two more states were subjugated. By 1965 only five Utopian states remained. By 1970 Arthur I Hazelwood had fully unified all the Utopian territories under his rule.

			===Warlord Period===

			The Warlord period begins with the departure of the sitting GIU government under Andrew II Hazelwood from Utopia proper. It ends with the return of Andrew III Hazelwood and the government in exile to the Utopian sub-continent.

			===Silver Period===

			The Silver period of Utopian history refers to the period of time under SIU, specifically the reigns of [[Andrew III Hazelwood]], [[Marcus Lanistar]] and [[Olivia Reading]].

	The earliest archaeological evidence of human presence in the Utopia subcontinent dates back to around 15000 BRE. Cave paintings believed to have been left by nomadic tribes of proto-Utopian people in the Northern Mountain range have been found at multiple locations corresponding to that rough period of time. The earliest settlements can be dated to 13000 BRE, in South-eastern Utopia, established by nomadic tribes from the North who migrated south during a small ice age. These tribes settled in the vast fertile plains of what is today known as "the breadbasket of Utopia", establishing agricultural and pastoral settlements.

	Civilisation extended to the rest of the Utopian subcontinent from these original southern settlements, with three distinct cultural groups forming overtime. Southern Utopians had the most contact with foreign cultures through trade with the ancient peoples of modern day Mayakava, Tien-Chi, Xaviet and Roskaya, as well as some lighter and more sporadic contact further afield. Influences from Tien-Chi philosophies particularly shaped Southern Utopian concepts of government and administration. Northern Utopians were more isolated than their southern kin, eventually diverging completely culturally and linguistically. Eastern Utopians assimilated migrant tribes from modern day Xaviet and even some from beyond as warfare and invasions pushed them west into Utopia. Consequently Eastern Utopians have more in common ethnically, linguistically and especially culturally with ancient Xaviets. This is less true today, as the cultures did continue to diverge overtime.

	===Ancient ~~Utopia~~===		===Ancient Utopian Period===

	Written records in Utopia begin with the Mistrian people of south-western Utopia. Adopting a writing system from Tien-Chi, the Mistrians quickly abandoned the overly complicated symbols in favour of an alphabet system, which spread with only minor variation across Utopia in the centuries that follow. At this stage, roughly 1900 BRE, Utopia was dotted by small tribes that began forming larger settlements and coalitions of settlements.

			Northern Utopia is mostly mountainous, the Palyn mountain range curving to follow the northern coast. Past the Palyn, in the Urtkan peninsula, there flat, cold land, with temperate needle-leaf forests. In central Utopia, the eastern border and the north-eastern border; there are prominent temperate broad-leaf and temperate mixed forests. The southern border leads into the thick jungles of Xiaojin.

			===Climate===

			The climate in Utopia is renowned across the world. Fertile plains, rolling hills, warm summers and cool winters all receive praise from visitors and natives alike. The Palyn mountain and the territories north of it are significantly colder, and the border with Xiaojin experiences increased higher humidity, but despite this the overall climate in Utopia is generally pleasant, with temperatures rarely in the unpleasant range.

			===Biodiversity===

			Utopia has a wide range of species, and is likely one of the most bio-diverse regions on Avaris. Species from Tien-Chi and Noskyavia meet in Utopia, as well as some notable fauna and flora unique to the Utopian sub-continent itself. Including the national animal, the [[Utopian lion]]. Other notable Utopian species include the mountain deer, Utopian boar, golden hare, Tortio rabbit, silver wolf and more.

			Flora is no less diverse, including the national tree, the Utopian olive tree. Various species of plant in Utopia exhibit grey hued leaves, more so than in other regions of the world, although these plants are still a minority of species.

	By 1700 BRE the Three-Crowns Kingdom had subjugated most of the Northern Utopian tribes, with the notable exception of the Urtkans in the most inhospitable northern reaches. The Three-Crowns Kingdom then embarked on a campaign of conquest against tribes in eastern and southern Utopia, peaking in size in 1350 BRE. In 1350 BRE, the Xutiet and Sut tribes united into the Xut kingdom under a charismatic and competent monarch. 1300 BRE saw a minor military defeat for the Three-Crowns Kingdom at the hands of the Magistrans, as well as the Xut consolidating the last "free" Eastern Utopians under their banner. By 1250 BRE the Xut had made gains against both the Three-Crown Kingdom and the Magistrans. In 1200 BRE the Xut gathered three mighty armies, and marched them against each of the three kings of the Three-Crown Kingdom. The Three-Crown Kingdom, suffering from internal instability, infighting, rogue administrators and slave revolts; was unable to send more armies to reinforce their kings. Records indicate that each king nonetheless commanded imposing hosts of veteran soldiers. Xut records, which may be exaggerating, claimed that each king commanded fifty-thousand soldier. This seems unlikely, especially with the knowledge that the Three-Crowns Kingdom operated more armies than just those three.

	In summer of summer of 1200 BRE the three assembled Xut armies met their Three-Crown Kingdom opponents in battle, and decidedly defeated them, chasing the routing armies deep into the mountains. The deaths of two of the three kings in battle spelled the end of the Three-Crowns Kingdom. This is the first recorded instance of more than one king dying at once, and the only instance, as by 1150 BRE the Three-Crowns Kingdom was officially dissolved. In it's place the Xut High Kingdom was declared. The former heartlands of the Three-Crown Kingdom were converted into the Tortian, Sortian, and Trasnian tributary kingdoms. The last loyalists of the Three-Crowns ~~Kingdoms~~ had fled west to found Soritian under the surviving king.

	The weakest of the five major factions of the civil war was the Magistran Senate, attempting to bring the Republic back. This is widely considered to be the weakest faction of the civil war by far, only making gains when their enemies were distracted with other foes and folding instantly under any focused pressure from the claimants. Systemic issues enabling and encouraging generals to buy loyalty from their soldiers are blamed for why the Magistran Senate could not muster as many men under their banner.

	The history of Utopia goes back to various Utopian peoples. With the spread of Axonity, Levarnt became the seat of the Veridite Church. Numerous attempts were made to unify Utopia throughout the ages, none successful until the arrival of the Hazelwoods on the southern shore, conquering and subjugating city states with the aid of hired mercenaries, adventurers and native collaborators.

	== ~~Name~~ ==		== Etymology ==
	Silver Imperial Utopia derives each of the three components in its name from three different sources. The "Silver" comes from the [[Silver Initiative]], a contingency plan created by [[Andrew III Hazelwood]] of in the days after its GIU's mass migration from their holdings on [[Avaris]]. The GIU government created the Silver Initiative as a plan in case the Utopian Isolation experiment failed, which it eventually did. As part of the Silver Initiative, large parts of the government and elite of GIU migrated back to Avaris and took over civilian administration of the Utopia region under Xaviet military occupation. The Utopian Government continues to maintain close diplomatic and military ties to the Xaviet Empire.

	The "Imperial" comes from the nation's monarchist roots as an established empire unifying the Utopian sub-continent. "Utopia" is derived from the ancient idea that the region can become a perfect place. Rooted in ancient pantheistic folklore but eventually adopted by Axonite theologians and later philosophers, the people of Utopia have long held the belief that the unified nation of all Utopian peoples would be, a Utopia, lending to the name for the region. Utopian as a descriptor for the population only came into fashion after the unification under the Hazelwoods.
