The history of Christos can be divided into 3 eras: The Colonial Era, The Empire Era, The Republic Era.
Christos history can be divided into Four eras - The Colonial Era, The Christos Era, The Empire Era, and The Republic Era.


'''The Great Ages Exploration and Colonization'''
The first known people that lived on Terragon were a number of tribes scattered throughout the planet. These tribes eventually formed into 9 different cultures.
On August 1957 the space race between the United Sates and the Soviet Union began. During this period many technological advancements were made, which included sending the first satellite into space and sending the first humans to the moon. By April 1970 space exploration technology was perfected by the US. In August 1975 the technology was put to test with the landing of the first people on Mars. After the news of the successful Mars exploration, many of the other major nations (Britain, Soviet Union, France, and China) decided to start their own space programs and by the start of 1976 many exploration rocketships were launched. These initial explorations started the period known as the "Great Age of Exploration." The Great Age of Exploration stagnated soon after it started due to wars, conflicts, and diseases. It was not until 2008 when the Great Age of Exploration started again; though this time newly developed nations and other major nations joined in. In 2011 another scientific breakthrough was made with the invention of terraforming technology by the US. The US tested the terraforming technology with the founding of the first Mars Colony. The success of the Mars colony marked the transition from the Great Age of Exploration to the "Great Age of Colonization" with many other nations sending out rocketships to space to explore, terraform, and colonize.  


===The Colonial Era===
===The Colonial Era===
The native tribal population declined when the United States of America "discovered" and colonized the planet of Terragon during a period known as The Great Age of Exploration and Colonization. This period saw many nations of Earth embrace and further research the technologies of space exploration and planet terraforming. The US settled a colony called Jacksonia on Terragon. The relationship between Jacksonia and the 9 native tribes was weary at first but slowly declined when Jacksonia started to expand. In retaliation to the expansion the 9 tribes formed an alliance called The Brotherhood to match the growing strength of Jacksonia. A treaty was signed between The Brotherhood and Jacksonia to ease tension on Terragon. The treaty was quickly ignored by Jacksonia when more people arrived on Terragon looking for fame and fortune. Tensions boiled over when a Governor of Jacksonia was killed by one of the tribes and war was declared between the Jacksonia and The Brotherhood known as the Native War of Supremacy. The war lasted a brutal 5 years. In the end Jacksonia won in the end and the lands of the tribes were taken over.


'''Founding of Terragon'''
An internal conflict split the people of Jacksonia. One side supported the complete extermination of the native tribes (The Red Faction) while the other side supported better relations with the tribes that had been defeated (The Blue Faction). Ultimately The Blue Faction separated from Jacksonia and founded a new colony named Christos. Christos was named after the leader of The Blue Faction, Chris. Though some sources say the colony was named in honor of Jesus Christ. Chris was a disgruntled Jacksonian turned activist when he saw how the government treated the native tribes and also how poorer Jacksonians were being treated badly by the American/ Jacksonian elites and American tourists. Tensions grew between Jacksonia and Christos when the separation occurred. Tensions between Christos and the US grew when the US issued a tax on most goods coming from Christos. Eventually the colony of Christos was labeled a rogue colony by the US. Tensions boiled over during an incident known as The First Revolt and in retaliation Christos informally declared war on both the US and Jacksonia, after an informal declaration of independence from the US was issued. The War for Christosian Independence lasted 3 years with Christos gaining the victory due to the backing of the native tribes, the recognition of Christos's sovereignty by other nations, and the declining popularity with the US government and the war by US citizens. On October 7 the US surrendered unconditionally; then on October 8 Christos formally declared independence.
Some time after the Great Age of Colonization the US sent another wave of explorers to space which was known as "Pilgrim Mission 20." One of the Captains on the mission was named Alfred Christian and his ship was named "Adventure Horizon." After many years of searching; Captain Christian and his crew located a planet that was not claimed by any other nation. Initial scans of the planet showed that it had the same atmosphere as Earth. This gave the crew of Adventure Horizon more time to explore and study the plants and wildlife of the planet. When the crew finally landed, Captain Christian claimed the planet for the US and named the planet Terragon after calling the planet the "paragon of all virgin lands." Alfred and his crew set up the first base, called Fort Discovery, and sent word to the US to send more people and supplies to the planet. In time, more people arrived, and the base grew into a colony, which was eventually named Virginiland after the "virgin" land the colony had settled on.  


'''Virginiland's Government'''
===The Christos Era===
The US promoted Alfred Christian to Governor of Virginland. During his rule there was minimal interaction with the native tribes but a few misunderstandings and skirmishes led to a peace treaty being signed. In the treaty Virginiland promised to not encroach on other tribe's lands and that interaction between the natives and Virginilanders would be minimal. After 23 years of Governor Christian's rule he was succeeded by Jonas Siegfried. Under Governor Siegfried Virginiland prospered and grew. This growth led to the breaking of the treaty made with the surrounding native tribes before Siegfried's appointment. This led to more conflicts with the native tribes which also led to a mutual mistrust between the natives and the Virginiland government. Governor Siegfried ruled for 12 years until he was killed while leading the Virginiland military against a coalition of native tribes known as "The Brotherhood." In retaliation to the Governor's death the US appointed General Henry Wilson to Governor. Governor General Wilson was tasked to deal with the natives and to punish them for the death of Governor Siegfried. Governor General Wilson started a deadly conflict known as the "Native War of Supremacy," where many natives were imprisoned, killed, or exiled. The war not only affected the natives but also the citizens of Virginiland, who were friendlier to the natives than the government was. To stamp out sentiment for the native tribes Henry issued anti-association laws which severely damaged the government's relationship with its own citizens. This set off mass protests against the government and Henry. Feeling the pressure from the protesters the US relented and replaced Henry with a more lenient Governor named John Wanker, ending the 19 year rule of Henry. Even with the government change, talks of independence from the US government began rising.  
The Christos Era
A Grand Convention was held in capital of Christos, St. Christopher (Dedicated to the Saint Chris was named after) to determine what the next steps would be for Christos now that independence had been won and to write a Constitution for the country. The 9 tribes that had been conquered by Columbia were able to send representatives to the Convention. It was decided that the country would become a parliamentary democracy with the head being the Prime Minister. The legislature would be unicameral and be called the National House of the Populace. The Supreme Court of Christos was also made with a 7 member body. For Chris's leadership during the war the Convention unanimously decided that Chris would be crowned King and that the a Constitutional Monarchy would also be established. The King would have power over government but safe guards were installed to prevent a tip of power. It was also decided that the year would restart to 0 AC (After Crowning) when the coronation of Chris took place. The 9 tribes were given back some of their lands and were also given autonomy but, with persuasion from Chris, promised not to seek independence and still be a part of Christos.


'''Governors of Virginiland'''
Chris's reign as King of Christos started off well. There were a few disagreements with the Prime Minister and the National House of the Populace but it was relatively tame. During Chris's reign Christos experienced a strengthening of the government, infrastructure, industry, education, and healthcare. Christosian identity was also being formed. King Chris's reign lasted for 55 years before he abdicated. During the remaining years of his reign Chris declared issued a decree stating that his next heir would not hold the title of King but be called Crown Prince/ Princess. The title change was made to show that the next monarch was crowned by the people.


Alfred Christian - 23 years
===The Empire Era===
 
After Chris's abdication his son Luke was crowned Crown Prince of Christos. During Crown Prince Luke's reign a civil war started between the supporters of the current government (The Loyalists) and those wanting to abolish the monarchy and switch to a federal republic (The Republicans). The civil war was known as the Christosian Civil War of Leadership, after 7 years of war the Loyalists cementing the rule of government and the monarchy. Also During this time the government had ambitions to expand Christos's borders. At first the monarchy and the people were not supportive of expansion due to harming native tribal lands but after a while the monarchy and the people started to support the idea of Manifest Destiny, some even supported the idea of taking control of the whole planet of Terragon. Expansion started out slow but eventually picked up when Crown Prince Robert ascended the throne. Robert, along with the government started a campaign called The March West. The March West campaign was a plan to expand the territories of Christos West of its current borders. The March West eventually led to conflicts with the neighboring native tribes. The tribes reminded Robert and the Christosian government about the treaty signed with The Brotherhood; so Robert issued a decree stating that any tribe can still have autonomy but must swear fealty to the monarchy and the government of Christos, if not swift annihilation will come to them. Out of the 9 tribes 5 of them accepted Robert's offer, the other 2 formed a new alliance called the "West Alliance." The March West campaign turned into a 2 year war against the West Alliance in what is known as the West War. Christos eventually won the war and annexed the War Alliance's land. With the defeat of the West Alliance the March West campaign ended. Crown Prince Robert and the Christosian government declared Christos an Empire and the name Chris Empire was used interchangeable with Christos. Ambitions of expansion died down in the coming years due to rebellions and the reinforcing of Christos's lands.
Jonas Siegfried - 12 years
 
Henry Wilson - 19 years
 
John Wanker - 15 years
 
Jeffery Johnson - 8 years
 
'''Beginnings of a Revolution and The First Revolt'''
During the later years of John Wanker's reign as Governor a Captain named Chris was assigned to Virginiland. Chris was assigned to patrol the waters around Virginiland. While patrolling the waters Chris came across the situations of both Virginilanders and the natives. He learned of the government's harsh rules and unfair treatment towards the natives and the Virginilanders. Appalled Chris decided to help by smuggling food and supplies to both the natives and Virginilanders in need and joined the "Independence Now" movement which was a group of Virginilanders calling for independence from the US. When the Virginiland government found out about Chris's membership he was demoted as Captain and fired from government. Chris sought exile in the very cities he visited while on patrol. There he was elected Mayor of three cities and was unofficially called "Governor Chris." Chris also established three more cities Christofton, Chris City, and Bluesville; while making Chris City his defacto capital and calling his territory Christos. Chris also formed an alliance with two native tribes, who were part of the Brotherhood, the Rune and the Daron. News of Chris's mayoral wins, city foundings, and native alliances reached the US government. The US government was furious with John Wanker's light response to the growing power of Chris that they fired John after 15 years of being Governor. The US replaced John with Jeffery Johnson. Jeffery Johnson was a patriotic soul from Maryland, US and wanted to align the Virigniland culture with the American culture. Jeffery did this with ferocity and quickness that many atrocities were committed. Those who disobeyed or went against these changes were imprisoned, tortured, rehabilitated, or executed. These actions gave Jeffery the nickname “The Steel Patriot.” Small skirmishes between the Virginiland military and the Christos military broke out which eventually turned into battles. Many supporters tried to flee the Virigniland for the Christos, but some were unsuccessful, leading to a travel ban between the two territories. Tensions came to a head during an event dubbed “The First Revolt.” Some soldiers of Virginiland were rounding up deserters in one of the roads leading out of the territory. Within minutes the round up turned into a gun fight as assailants jumped out of the nearby woods and killed the soldiers. When Jeffery Johnson heard about the incident, he sent a retaliation battalion to one of the outskirt cities that were known supporters of Chris and massacred the populace. Having learned of the massacre Chris declared war on Virginiland and the US and the War for Independence had started.
 
'''Christos War for Independence'''
The War for Independence lasted for a brutal 5 years. In the end Christos was able to overthrow the Virginiland government and take over the Virginiland territory. To win the war for Independence Chris had to make sure certain criteria were met. First he sent a letter of recognition to the United Nations to establish Christos as a sovereign nation. This letter gave Christos the support it needed from the world, major nations like Great Britain, Russia, China, France, Canada, and Brazil supported independence for Christos. The next criteria was to gain the support of native tribes in Terragon. Chris had already signed a treaty with the Daron and the Rune tribes in the Brotherhood Alliance but he needed more. Chris was able to negotiate a treaty with 3 more native tribes which added more soldiers to his armies. The last criteria was to instill unrest within Virginiland's government so that a protests and riots would hinder the government's response to an attack by Christos. The war lasted for 2 years when on October 7 the US surrendered unconditionally; then on October 8 Christos formally declared independence.
 
'''A New Nation'''
After winning the war for independence a Grand Convention was called at Chris City to decide the details of the new nation. During the Grand Convention many representatives threw their support to the idea of making Chris King of the new nation. Chris hesitantly accepted the title only if an elected official of the people was also put into power as well. To compromise the Convention made two offices one for the King and his subsequent heirs and the other would be for the President, and elected official by popular vote. These two offices of the Executive branch would work together. A bicameral Congress would also be established with one House being the Senate and the other house being the House of the Populous. During the Convention it was also decided that the year would reset on the crowning of Chris and the Year would be known as 0 AC (After Chris).
In his Convention speech Chris said this "Today we start a new nation through the blood, sweat, and tears of oppressed people. Even though this nation has a King, my power and the power of the government comes from the people! We will stand together and turn this nation from a collection of people to an Empire, a Chris Empire!" Chris would be 50 years old when crowned King and while on his journey around Terragon he found "water of youth" which would extend his life. Chris reigned for 55 years until he decided to abdicate the throne to his eldest son Luke. During the abdication it was decided that Chris would keep the title King and a new title of Crown Prince would be bestowed upon Luke.


===The Empire Era===
The ambitions of expansion resurfaced when Crown Prince Alexander came to power. In a 10 year long campaign known as the Terragon Expansion War Alexander conquered all the lands in Terragon and placed them all under Christosian rule. Due to 10 year war the country was fell into a financial crisis. There also rose a monarchy succession crisis as well. During Alexander's conquests he fathered his first born son that he named Michael but because Alexander was busy conquering he left his son in the care of his trusted adviser Khalid Al-Uslam. Young Michael grew up all his life in the care of Al-Uslam, even considering him his true father. Alexander's other advisers worried that Michael would be so influenced by Al-Uslam that he would convert to the Islamic faith, there was no religion rule anywhere in the law of succession. So with the urging of his advisers Alexander took his son back at age 17. When Alexander died Michael was crowned Crown Prince but during the naming ceremony where rulers could change or keep their first name Michael declared that he would be known as Crown Prince Uslam I and it was revealed that Michael had converted to Islam. The government and the populace were livid with the news. Rebellions and riots flared up during his reign, even the Prime Minister at the time urged the Crown Prince to abdicate. After 5 years Crown Prince Uslam I relented and abdicated his throne to his brother who became Crown Prince Christopher. Appalled at what had happened to his brother Christopher issued one of Christos's most famous speeches The Tolerance Speech in front of the government and the nation. He condemned the treatment of his brother due to his faith and declared that tolerance classes would be a required training class for anyone that wanted to work in Christos and any company that wanted to do business in Christos no exceptions.

History

Christos history can be divided into Four eras - The Colonial Era, The Christos Era, The Empire Era, and The Republic Era.

The first known people that lived on Terragon were a number of tribes scattered throughout the planet. These tribes eventually formed into 9 different cultures.

The Colonial Era

The native tribal population declined when the United States of America "discovered" and colonized the planet of Terragon during a period known as The Great Age of Exploration and Colonization. This period saw many nations of Earth embrace and further research the technologies of space exploration and planet terraforming. The US settled a colony called Jacksonia on Terragon. The relationship between Jacksonia and the 9 native tribes was weary at first but slowly declined when Jacksonia started to expand. In retaliation to the expansion the 9 tribes formed an alliance called The Brotherhood to match the growing strength of Jacksonia. A treaty was signed between The Brotherhood and Jacksonia to ease tension on Terragon. The treaty was quickly ignored by Jacksonia when more people arrived on Terragon looking for fame and fortune.

The war lasted a brutal 5 years. In the end Jacksonia won in the end and the lands of the tribes were taken over.

An internal conflict split the people of Jacksonia. One side supported the complete extermination of the native tribes (The Red Faction) while the other side supported better relations with the tribes that had been defeated (The Blue Faction). Ultimately The Blue Faction separated from Jacksonia and founded a new colony named Christos. Christos was named after the leader of The Blue Faction, Chris.

Chris was a disgruntled Jacksonian turned activist when he saw how the government treated the native tribes and also how poorer Jacksonians were being treated badly by the American/ Jacksonian elites and American tourists. Tensions grew between Jacksonia and Christos when the separation occurred. Tensions between Christos and the US grew when the US issued a tax on most goods coming from Christos. Eventually the colony of Christos was labeled a rogue colony by the US. Tensions boiled over during an incident known as The First Revolt and in retaliation Christos informally declared war on both the US and Jacksonia, after an informal declaration of independence from the US was issued. The War for Christosian Independence lasted 3 years with Christos gaining the victory due to the backing of the native tribes, the recognition of Christos's sovereignty by other nations, and the declining popularity with the US government and the war by US citizens. On October 7 the US surrendered unconditionally; then on October 8 Christos formally declared independence.

The Christos Era

The Christos Era A Grand Convention was held in capital of Christos, St. Christopher (Dedicated to the Saint Chris was named after) to determine what the next steps would be for Christos now that independence had been won and to write a Constitution for the country. The 9 tribes that had been conquered by Columbia were able to send representatives to the Convention.

The Empire Era

After Chris's abdication his son Luke was crowned Crown Prince of Christos. During Crown Prince Luke's reign a civil war started between the supporters of the current government (The Loyalists) and those wanting to abolish the monarchy and switch to a federal republic (The Republicans). The civil war was known as the Christosian Civil War of Leadership, after 7 years of war the Loyalists cementing the rule of government and the monarchy.
