Its capital city is Beishen, and it is comprised of six islands: Bohamo, Chiaga, Keshan, Mokoru, Shabai, and Yunshui. Unlike islands in other countries, Gordica's islands each act as a separate.

Gordica has been inhabited since around 25,000 BC. It was unified in the 5th century AD under a monarch and a royal court in the city of Chugong. The state maintained a relatively stable political landscape until the early 19th century, when imperial forces invaded and annexed Gordica. This led to it remaining a until the 1930s War, when the people of Gordica successfully fought off the British, leading to Gordica being reestablished as an independent republic with Beishen as its capital.

First Gordica
Gordica's islands have been inhabited since the 5th century, first by the indigenous Indogorda people, for whom Gordica is named. Though they were initially governed differently and included different cultures, the three islands of Keshan, Shabai, and Yunshui were unified in the late 380s as what is now known as "First Gordica".

Second Gordica
"Second Gordica" came about in the 5th century when Bohamo, Chiaga, and Mokoru became part of the newly formed country.

First Gordica and Second Gordica were both kingdoms. Upon the foundation of Second Gordica, a royal court was established in the ancient city of Chugong, Yunshui. The first ever monarch of Gordica, King Len Soi Han Song (398–445). He briefly ruled from 440 to 445 before being slain by his son, Chon Fai Den Song (419–446) ruled from 445 to 446 before being executed for "royal crimes". Under their leadership, Gordica was politically unstable. Citizens were separated into five groups: the first level (nobility), second level, third level , fourth level , and fifth level. Second- and third-level citizens enjoyed lives of luxury and only socialized with each other, never donating to fourth- or fifth-level citizens financially. Poorer Gordicans were mostly farmers and construction workers, while the rich sold high-priced sculptures and other works of art. Most of the country's population lived in poverty, and the Gordican economy relied heavily on international trade, which was itself affected by weak ties to other Asian regions.

The third king was Chon Fai's brother, Pan Soi Den Song (421–479), who ruled from 446 to 479. Unlike his predecessors, Pan Soi sought to correct sociopolitical issues facing the people of Gordica. While in power, he decreased his own power and thus decreased the power of future rulers. He took note of the abundant natural resources in the kingdom—particularly those of Yunshui and Bohamo—and thought commoners new ways to use these resources. While many revered Pan Soi for his contributions to the Kingdom of Gordica, Many members of the Gordican royal family despised him for encouraging individuality, preaching acceptance, and depowering the government. Upon his death in 479, leadership of the country shifted every few years. Histover the course of the next 500 years. Historians call this the "Death Period" because royals were constantly being killed, often by each other, to steal the throne.

The in-fighting concluded in 996 with the Song Massacre, when the entire government was overthrown and the royal Song family as a whole was killed in a mass murder. The last person linked to the Song family, Chen Som Hai Hi (966–1012), became the first Queen of Gordica.

In the 1200s, and  people came to Gordica. The Indogorda, Korean, and Han Chinese people argued with one another for a very short period, but decided to co-exist peacefully and respect each other's beliefs. This changed in the late 1210s, when the Indogorda fought with the Han Chinese over who would claim

The fiover the island of Shabai.rst known European to arrive in Gordica was Spanish traveler Velasco Moreno, who came to the country in 1399. Several other travelers arrived shortly after. Moreno and his crew attempted to force the Indogorda to convert to. Indogorda refused and instead tried to fight off the European invaders. But Moreno and his allies built up a small army and proceeded to battle the Indogorda. Over 1,100 Indogorda died as a result, though most of the European team was defeated and the remaining group retreated. Then-king Ying Ming Lin Hi (who was a descendant of Chen Som Hai Hi) was killed in battle, and the Indogorda used what little weapons they had to destroy European ships and kill incoming invaders.

1822–1823: The "Gordicide" and kidnapping and queen
Word spread amongst Europeans about Gordica's abundant natural resources. After the Indogorda previously fought off the invaders, travelers from the began planning a secret attack on Gordica and a takeover of the islands.

Throughout the 1810s, British people began camping along the Gordican coastline. Unaware of the upcoming attack, the Indogorda allowed them to stay. However, when the population across Gordica's six islands increased in the early 1820s, homes began being constructed on the coast. In 1822, the queen, Lim Hang Sang To, ordered for any Britons who left their camps and attempted to move to these homes to be executed. However, the British instead decided to initiate an Indogorda.

The "Gordicide"—a portmanteau of Gordica and genocide—resulted in the deaths of more than 4,500 Indogorda people, over half of the population at the time that the Gordicide began. The end of the attack in 1823 was followed by the kidnapping of Lim Hang Sang To, who was then killed. Most of the Han Chinese settlers fled the country and returned to their homeland.

1823–1930: British occupation
On 6 March 1823, formally annexed Gordica. When Gordica first became a, Sir Michael Chainlock, a man, was chosen as the Governor of British Gordica.

The British severely oppressed the Indogorda and other Southeast Asian peoples who were living in Gordica. Race in Gordica became a widely discussed issue when segregation began in 1831. The favoring of White people also led to the Indogorda and other Asians and to move to other countries.

Gordicans made several attempts to drive out Great Britain from the 1840s to 1920s in the form of political movements, but all were unsuccessful. The most famous was the Inkpot Movement of the mid-1920s in which Asians pressured White leaders to exit the country and end racial segregation. The government instead imposed new laws banning such protests and other displays of defiance.
