The colonisation of Lordania, Yuklid V, Tyannani, Nouveaulyon, and Cinu took place in the late 2100s. Within the first few years of settlement, the various planets had contacted each other, and began to form the greater Lordanian community.

Founding of the Cinuan Colonial Assembly
FoundingThe Cinuan Colonial Authority had previously served as the dominant authority of the Cinu colonisation effort. For over a decade, power had rested in the hands of the mission's Commanding Officer, Achraf Hamadi, who had total authority over the state. Hamadi used his executive authority to establish the basis of a democratic system, though he retained his power of absolute veto in a form of procedural democracy. In 2197, the CCA moved from the CS Cinu to Al-Mular. Hamadi oversaw the establishment of the Colonial Assembly and the Supreme Court of Cinu, with the intent of establishing a unitary presidential republic.

Cinuan Presidential Election of '00
Political eventThe Presidential Election of '00 was one of the most important elections of early Cinuan history. Achraf Hamadi turned 92 in 2300. Thanks to modern medicine, he had the capacity to lead, but this was not going to last. Hamadi had held an almost dictator-like authority since the days the first Cinuans boarded the CS Cinu, but times had changed and a whole new generation had taken their place. While they held tremendous respect for Hamadi's dedication to democratic causes, he still held control over the Assembly, and so would his successor. Two candidates were nominated by the assembly; Mizrak al-Faoud, a liberal democrat and reformer; and Rihan Sayed, a democratic socialist and parliamentarian. The vote had a turnout of 92 percent, which remains one of the largest in Cinuan history. With a narrow victory, Rihan Sayed was elected President of Cinu. In her election speech, her very first act was to issue an executive order to establish a new constitution disbanding the role of President and transforming Cinu into a parliamentary democracy. Hamadi, satisfied with the result, retired from politics and settled in Diade.

Republic of Kassala Formed
Diplomatic actionThe Republic of Kassala declares its independence from the Cinuan Colonial Authority. It argues that as Cinu is part of a greater Lordanian Republic, and that the regions of Cinu have grown to be self-sufficient, it no longer needed a Colonial Government, as it was not a colony.

United Nations of Cinu Founded
Political event"United, we shall strive to put to rest all inequalities, all injustices, and to make all equal before the law."
With the rise of numerous nation states across Cinu, the Cinuan Colonial Authority was proving incapable of claiming itself as the legitimate government of a united Cinu. Led by the efforts of former-President Rihan Sayed, the many states of Cinu convene to form the United Nations of Cinu, and sign a formal Charter. This was swiftly recognised by the First Lordanian Republic, and the two continued a warm trading partnership.

The Independence Riots
Civil actionWe shall not allow our voices to go unheard. If the Republic will not hear our words, then they shall see our actions.
Growing inequality in the Republic combined with unpopular foreign policy led to widespread rioting across the Cluster. While peaceful protest was allowed to take place, it seemed the Republic were not prepared to listen to any demands, which led to violent protests. Keen to suppress the movement, the Republic occupied the planet Tersten and established the Pinascimate Penal Authority. -

In an interplanetary con, the Senate of Lordania made itself considerably richer than the rest of the Second Republic, causing many states of the Republic to effectively go bankrupt overnight, owing tremendous debt to Lordanian companies.

Cinu Unification War
Revolution"We can no longer afford to live. I ask you, was this war not expected? That we would refuse to allow our extinction?"

The war was only ended by the formation of the People's Republic of Lordania and the subsequent occupation and dismantling of political parties on the planet.Location

End of the Cinu Unification Wars
Military actionThe ending of the Cinu Unification Wars came in 2264. The remains of the United Nations of Cinu had largely been absorbed into the Republic. Field Marshal Çetin Üllasuli led the Republican Army on Cinu, defeating the remaining nations that had not swore loyalty to the Unitarian Party. The end of the Unification Wars were only the beginning of trouble for Cinu. The exiled leadership of the former nations of Cinu found themselves isolated, but not alone. The loyal soldiers of the anti-fascists became a paramilitary force, capable of guerrilla and partisan warfare. Though it would be fifteen years until they could truly oppose the People's Republic, they continued to be a signification thorn in the side of the fascist government, and a symbol of their military failure.

The Purge of '66
Military actionThe Attempted Purge of 2266 lives on in Lordanian history as both a travesty and a comedy of errors. Leonard Percy ordered a purge of moderates and anti-unitarians, including Jacques Garcin. After the assassination of Garcin failed, he was able to notify many of the other targets and help them flee underground. Finishing what had been started by the Dynamic Economy Act, the Unitarians nationalised most of the cluster. Few corporations were spared, those that worked with the PRL were able to remain functional, but heavily influenced by Unitarian affairs.

Response of the Cinuan to Consul Leonard Percy
Gathering / ConferenceBroadcast around the Lordanian Cluster, the Response of the Cinuan to Consul Leonard Percy came at the conclusion of the Majlis Alhuriya's demand to the People's Republic of Lordania. A young Cinuan named Saheem Ahmad delivered the passionate, and obscenity-laden speech in response to repeated violations of human rights by the Unitarian Party. In the speech, he repeatedly insults Leonard Percy and calls for his death. The speech became infamous overnight, being replayed across the Cluster and beyond. It was considered an arrestable offence to have a copy of the broadcast in Lordanian space.
