Neon District is a city-state divided into 4 prefectures and 1 automonous prefecture, with atleast 1 city with over 500,000k+ people in them.

Modern
Neon District's name comes from the element that was discovered there by two British scientists in 1898, Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers, who were in Neon District (at the time the Automonous State of Fujishiri in the Sentanese Empire) at the time. Neon was discovered when Ramsay chilled a sample of air until it became a liquid, then warmed the liquid and captured the gases as they boiled off. This gas, identified in June, was named "neon", the Greek analogue of the Latin novum ('new') suggested by Ramsay's son.

Although, it was not until the late 1930's and early 1940's when what was now the Republic of Fujishiri was number one in the production of the element worldwide, the name "Neon District" was used for the name of the country due to a dramatic increase in profits for Neon District due to the industry of the country.

Indigenous
The indigenous name, Tāzotēcātītlītzl is a combination of the words "Tāzotēcā" (the indigneous people) and "-tītl/ītzl" (the prefix for "Land" in Tenochitl indigenous language).

Prehistory (17th century BC - 1891 AD)
During the late Paleogene period, The Arito continent, where Neon District is located, broke up from the North American continent. The continent was later discovered by humans from what is now Krasnoyarsk, Buryatia, Sakha, Khabarovsk, Sakhalin, Kamchatka and Chukotka in Russia about 6,000 BC where they colonized the entire mainland.

A tribal horde comprised of around 200 - 300 Aleut people located in the southern tip of Ellesmere Island populated an area of 2.5 square km before a volcanic eruption killed everybody in the village except 10 people hiding in an open cave shaft. The day after the volcanic eruption a colony was formed and refugees from the surrounding areas came into the colony.

On the final day of the Winter of 1690 BC, a resident heard a crow calling to him, which he mistook as a sign of migration. He told this to the chief, and the chief was relieved. They then started a 3-century long migration process, in which they migrated 25,444.55 km (15,810.51 mi) southwest and adapted into many cultures before finally reaching their destination in what is now Mahri in around 2375 BC. This is referenced in the first chapter of the Tenochitl religious book, the [TBA].

The Tazotecs (at the time Iztinochetyz) migrated to Neon District after a flood devastated their village. They reached what is now Shiguto City around 1350 BC.

The Tenochitl fit in with the rest of the ethnic groups of the Arito continent, although they used advances farming techniques, learned to adapt to mountainous terrain and cold weather, learnt how to read and write. They also ruled the Tazotec Kingdom, an empire that ruled most of what is now the West El Kadsreian State, while also maintaining a friendly relationship with the nearby Vicnorians and Ekni.

An earthquake in 1471 severely damaged the kingdom itself and killed a quarter of it's population, although it maintained a steady recovery process.

The Tazotec Kingdom fell after colonial powers invaded the area in the late 17th century, although they could not get as far as the mountain shield in the north due to the terrain. They managed to colonize the rest of the continent a few decades later. In 1873, the indigenous Tazotec revolted with the indigenous Vicnorian people and Ekni people revolted against the colonial government and gained control of their country again.

Sentanese occupation (1891 - 1921)
The coup d'état of 1871 made basic human rights for the indigenous peoples of the country legal for the first time ever since the forming of the apartheidist colony in 1699. Unfortunately, it left atleast three quarters of the indigenous Tazotec people dead and left European, Asian and Middle Eastern people the majority. Despite this, the indigenous were still respected. In 1891, the Sentanese Empire annexed the Tazotec Monarchic State and turned it into the Automonous State of Fujishiri. Many advancements in the economy were made after that. During this time, many peoples and ethnic groups from Asia migrated into this area for business, so much so that the ASF almost exploded into three automonous states itself.

State of Fujishiri (1921 - 1950)
On September 21st, 1921, Kazuko Tikomori formed the State of Fujishiri, originally called the Fujishirian Sentanese Republic. On October 17th, 1921, after a month of bloodstained conflict, Kazuo Tikomori signed an agreement with the Emperor Asuka of Sentan to form the presidential state that what is now Neon District. Originally the state's territory was very small, comprising of about the size of what is now Singapore. Technological advancements were also made, with radio first being avaviable in 1925.

Kingdom of Zahavi, First Phase (1950 - 1969)
Fujishiri officialy had it's name changed to Neon District in 1949 after being congratulated by then-ally the United States of America for helping supply the electronics needed for the now extreme increase for the Neon lights industry in the USA. In 1950, the presidential republic was overthrown by a constitutional monarchy. The newly-founded Kingdom of Zahavi, lead by Persian-Sentanese Kobayashi Khan Zahavi aimed to have as much ties with the newly-founded Republic of El Kadsre and the west as much as possible. Television was finally launched in 1952 with the launch of NDRB TV on March 1st, 1952. The country's official name, Neon District, was majorily used by countries that were presidential or parliamental (eg. Republic of El Kadsre, etc.), and the name Zahavi, Kingdom of Zahavi, Imperial State of Zahavi or the Zahavi Dynasty was used (eg. Vicnoran Kingdom, Imperial State of Iran, etc.).

People's Democratic Republic of Neon District, First Phase (1969 - 1975)
On September 17th, 1969, rebels in Amery tore down a Taoist shrine in the wake of the 1969 Neon Districtian riots, which lead to the eventual 26 day-long civil war in Neon District. These rebels now comprised of the majority of the population of the Amery prefecture, who were secular Atheists (if you are Atheist in real life, I respect your opinion.) who opposed all of the other religious groups in Neon District (Shintoists, Buddhists, Catholic/Protestant/Orthodox/Coptic Christians, Muslims, Tazotec polythetisists and what was their former religion of Taoists) and were backed by the USSR and China to create a communist state in place of the Amery prefecture.

The Amery Socialist Citystate was formed at around 7:35pm PST (UTC-8) on October 13th, 1969 and was a Unitary Marxist–Leninist one-party socialist insurgent republic, only recognized by the world's communist states at the time. The day after it was formed was a day of mourning in Neon District. On October 16th, 1969 a right wing-backed coup d'état was formed, and on October 23rd, 1969 the monarchy was abolished and replaced with the Unitary parlimentary republic under a military junta of the People's Democratic Republic of Neon District. The country was auth-right but secular and led by Belgian-Japanese Gertjan van Akimori. The formation of both the ASC and the PDROND signalled the start of a bloody and brutal 20-year long war, although it was mostly constricted into one militarized area.

On May 12th, 1973, Juan Francisco de Kumamoto took the control of the role of President of Neon District and turned the title into Supreme Leader. He intended to transition the country into a more leftist state and eventually repair ties with the at the time enemy the Vlokozu Union. During July - August 1973 Neon District suffered an extreme economic crisis after Juan Francisco hyperinflated the value of the former Neon Districtian Dollar. On August 30th, 1973 the citizens revolted against his government, and on September 3rd, 1973 Gertjan van Akimori was restored as the president of Neon District, with Juan Francisco being exiled to Tura, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union where he learnt Russian and changed his name to Ivan Frantsisk (Russian: Иван Франциск) before eventually being deported back to Neon District in 2003 where he was sentenced to life in prison for crimes against humanity, before being executed in 2009.

Kingdom of Zahavi, Second Phase (1975 - 1983)
The Imperial State of Zahavi, also commonly known as the Kingdom of Zahavi was restored following the 1975 Zahavian revolution. The monarchy was restored and Makamado Shimamoto Zahavi became the third emperor of the Kingdom of Zahavi. Following this event, Gertjan van Akimori fled to his home in Geraardsbergen, Belgium where he stayed in until his death. Makamado introduced policies that strengthened ties with the west and overly boosted the economy of Neon District. Oil was first struck later that month on April 27th, 1975, but only in a small amount. Oil was struck again in November 1975 but it still wasn't enough. Oil was finally struck decently on April 7th, 1976 in the largest amount in the archipelago, which quadrupled the economy of Neon District and made it one of the richest in the El Kadsreian Archipelago, starting the Neon Districtian economic miracle (1975 - 1983, 1991 - present).

On April 16th, 1980, the 6-hour long Ameryian attacks on Shiguto City occured, devastating the city and forcing the main two television stations to shut down until the beginning of May. Just 2 days later, on April 18th, 1980, the Tenji oil fields fire occured after troops from the Vlokozu Union raided the oil wells of NEORAMCO-owned Tenji Oil Camp. After that, a state of emergency was declared which lasted until May 1st, 1980 at 10:15am UTC-8, which resumed the Neon Districtian civil war of 1969 - 1989 after being suspended for atleast 5 years.

People's Democratic Republic of Neon District, Second Phase (1983 - 1990)
On March 5th, 1983, Uzbek-Sentanese Shavkat Mubaraku Hayakonri lead a coup d'état, and overthrew the monarchy that lead the Kingdom of Zahavi. With this, he officially took both de jure and de facto control and abolished the monarchy on March 10th, 1983. He then exiled each branch of the Zahavi dynasty to their respective countries, with Makamado being exiled to the Vlokozuian State of Sentan (although being protected from the Vlokist government) and the non-ruling side to Tehran, Iran, before they moved to Ardabil, Iran.

Shavkat ruled an auth-center (later an auth-right) military dictatorship that was also secular at the same time. He enforced propaganda to only be light and shown on television atleast 3 times a day and would not allow a personality cult of his. He then took ownership of both NTS and NRS and merged them to create NRT. He was also the first Muslim leader of the country.

He also congratulated David Hukina for assasinating Michael Vlokozu in March 1989, and ties with what was El Kadsre, Sentan, Mahri, North El Kadsre and Vicnora were restored after the Vlokozu Union was dissolved on March 29th, 1989.

In 1988, he advanced his troops further into the Amery Socialist Citystate, and in response, the ASC advanced their troops into the urbanized areas of Neon District.

All of this lead up to the Final Frontier, a bloody massacre that lasted from September 1989 - November 10th, 1989, and resulted in the ASC finally being annexed, and the Supreme Leader, Xie Zenmin being executed by firing squad.

Shavkat officially resigned as the president of the People's Democratic Republic of Neon District and dissolved the PDROND on Janurary 1st, 1990.

Modern day Neon District (1990 - present)
The People's Democratic Republic of Neon District was dissolved at 10:30am on Janurary 1st, 1990, with the Federal Republic of Neon District being formed in it's place. Democracy was restored for the first time since March 1983, and the first prime minister John Tetsunori of the conserative party was made as the first prime minister of the Federal Republic of Neon District. John Tetsunori re-established ties with the west, and hoped to develop the country even further.

Neon District had another economic miracle that started in February 1991, quadrupling the economy and turning it into a tiger economy. Neon District had the 2nd biggest GDP in the El Kadsreian Archipelago by 1996, the peak of the economic miracle, and in 1996, LGBTQ+ was finally legalized

In 1999, the Scarlet Krajina (Chinese: 血色克拉伊娜; Pronounced 'Xuèsè kèlā yī nà', Serbian: Гримизна Крајина; Grimizna Krajina) insurgent group finally ceased activities, putting an end to the 30-year long history of the Amery Socialist Citystate and it's supporters.

A conserative nationalist coalation led the country from 2006 - 2010.

In 2008, Neon District was hit hard by the Great Recession and lost its title as the second largest economy in the El Kadsreian Archipelago to Sentan and Mahri.

In September 2020, former president Kumamoto Tsunesaburo lead a coup d'état and transitioned the country into a Unitary dominant-party presidential republic after overthrowing the current prime minister at the time, and was the president of the 2nd Federal Republic of Neon District up until the riots and unrest of 2022, when he resigned as president and transitioned the country back into a parlimentary republic and became the prime minister.

Nothing much has happened in the country since then, since i'm running out of ideas to write.
