Etymology[]

History[]

Wilsonian Drift, ~2 mya[]

Two million years ago, a piece of land, which would later become known as Wombat Island, broke off from the North American continent.

European colonization, 1491-1532[]

In 1491, European colonizers, primarily from Iberia settled on various eastern parts of the country. Most of the settlers remained in the small towns of Ávisia and Blanca, which would later become modern-day Elley and Vancouver. Initially the eastern areas were under Spanish control, but France illegally claimed the northern part as theirs in August 1503, leading to border disputes, which turned into several battles and conflicts that lasted nearly two decades and cost the lives of over 1,000 civilians. The French ceded in 1522 fearing an invasion in their mainland, thus ending the war.

Culture and ethnicity[]

The first people to settle in the current areas of the country were the presence of several indigenous tribes, including the Merikey people, their area being located in present-day eastern Renard Province, dating back to between 250 AD and 320 AD. European settlers first arrived in the 15th century, first with the Spanish in 1491, then the French shortly there after. The indigenous population decreased by half around the 1760s, mostly due to disease, which forced them to relocate north. Diversity was not prominent in the Republic of Wilson until the 20th century. People of South American origins arrived in the early 1930s, Asians in the early 1940s, and people of African ancestry in the late 1940s. In the 1980s the Republic of Wilson started to see a surge of anthropomorphic animals, otherwise known as "furries", arriving to the country due to high amounts of discrimination in multiple countries, including the United Kingdom, Grensalburg and France. This was also the time where the country would see people from multiple races due to immigration.

Education[]

The Republic of Wilson Department of Education, which then was called the WIlsonia Educational Cabinet, or WEC, was founded in February 1899. It initially started with a government cabinet which supported a few select schools in Ávisia (now Elley), however spread throughout further parts of the nation. In 1929, the Great Depression caused a major decline in funds for the cabinet, which led to multiple schools shutting down, which has also happened in 1960 and 1973. In the early 2020s, the Department of Education was investigated after multiple reports of unsafe and hazardous food from schools being passed down to students was brought to light by news broadcasters.
