82 Million B.C.E - 5,000 B.C.E: Pre-human history (Pre-civilization period)
The isles of Doloria were founded upon the Mejii seamount, which made its way up the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain over 82 million years. It would remain a seamount until a hotspot over the seamount formed around 1 million B.C.E caused the area to receive an eruption. THe are erupted for another 750,000 years until around 250,000 years ago, when the volcano became dormant. Doloria remained a contiguous island until 10,000 B.C.E when the most recent glaciation period ended, flooding the Central Dolorian Valley, turning the valley into the Bay of Doloria. The island's two peaks became islands, forming the Dolorian isles. Life flourished on the isles for the next 5,000 years until 5,000 B.C.E when the first humans from the Kamchatka peninsula arrived, establishing a civilization on the isles.

5,000 B.C.E - 1650: Pre-Japanese Colonization Civilization Period (Civilization Period)
Prior to Japanese colonization of the isles, the population grew from a few hundred to over 50,000 people from 5,000 B.C.E to 200 C.E. Historical records show the first government on the island was formed on the North Island, named the Daloryyæ Republic, the earliest democracy in the Pacific. The South Island was discovered in 350 C.E. when a Daloryyaæn exepdition landed in the South Island. From 400 C.E. to 1200 C.E, the population grew from just under 100,000 to over 750,000 people, To combat homelessness, the local government dispatched for the construction of floating towns called Gyacyins. These towns were built upon sand and rock from the mountains and seperated into islands.

The goverment of Doloria is a one-party closed anocractic state, the dictator being named "Principal Minister of State." The "Principal Minister of Government," the highest elected position, has powers similar to the vice-president of a country. The main governing body of the country is the Dolorian Council which consists of 30 councillors eleccted every five years.

The Council has the power to propose laws but the Principal Minister of State has the final say on if the law is passed. The Principal Minister of State also has absolute power and can dissolve the Council at any time. They also do not have to pass any law proposed by the Council.

Cities
The list of cities goes as follows:


 * 1) New North City | 95,000 people
 * 2) Parmansa | 7,000 people
 * 3) Subansta | 300 people
 * 4) 500 Mainform Avenue | 200 people

New North City is the largest city and capital of Doloria, with the country's only international airport. Parmansa only remains a suburb even with soaring housing prices due to inheritance of homes from previous generations. Subansta is one of the most fortified gated communities in the world, as it is located near Northeast New North City, which is only as dangerous as Los Angeles but extremely dangerous by Dolorian standards

500 Mainform Avenue is a city in the first place because back in the 1970s, during a zoning project, the spot was accidentally left out of the new city borders. After this, it was still ignored when the city was re-zoned in the 1980s. In the 2000s, an apartment complex was built on the land named 500 Mainform Avenue. The residents of the apartment building later found out that the city was illegally applying city taxes to the complex. A demonstration of all of the residents at 500 Mainform Avenue began on March 11, 2006. Goverment tax officials were shouted at and harrassed. Eventually, thousands more people begin joining the demonstrations, reaching over 50,000 people, over half of the city's population. The demonstrations resulted in 30 deaths and over 500 injuries, caused by places where the protests became violent, but violence was very rare among the demonstrations.

On August 11, 2006, the Dolorian goverment conceded and declared 500 Mainform Avenue an independent city. They would pay their own taxes to the homeowner's association, now the city council. All utilites into the complex would be free of charge, making the complex unit prices skyrocket from 500 USD a month to over 5,000 USD a month due to free utilities.
