The history of Aurun

Aurun was once populated by the "Aurunese Firsts", they were the original inhabitants of the Aurunese island, they were mostly a hunting tribe until they developed commerce in continental Aurun, they started to advance, founding cities in the later years, they started building with stones and created structures that were very unique.

With the founding of the Kensh Empire, the eastern half of the Aurunese island soon started to unify, developing a hierarchy, establishing rules, and started to advance, they soon discovered the amethyst mines and started basing most things out of amethysts, emperor Dastka II was known to have an amethyst on his headwear.

The Age of Discovery has begun and Portugal took a route to India by going around Africa, Spain has just won the Reconquista and they wanted to focus on trade, the Columbian expedition of 1492 which was led by Christopher Columbus, he reached America but he didn't know. Soon after, Amerigo Vespucci stated that he did not reach India, he reached America, and so, more expeditions begun.

Admiral and conquistador Federico de La Sierra was chosen to be the lead of the Sierran Expedition of 1506 to bring settlers to America, so they went north, but, it so happens that they hit land in what is now Aurun, de La Sierra found it very odd, he met the Aurunese Firsts and built a small temporary settlement for future expeditions, when he returned, he said that his expedition to "America" went well, but one of the settlers, Marco Menditar, figured out that they were not in America, they were in another continent, he told de La Sierra about it, and so they went back to Spain to inform the monarchs.

Menditar wrote a note about his experience there, talking about the expedition, he mentioned the Aurunese Firsts (in Spanish Primeros), he published the note and word began to spread about this new land, older maps named the land "Terra Sierra", but it would later change to "Terra Aurum", when they found gold in the Second Sierran Expedition.

The partition of Aurun

Spain and Portugal decided to start a meeting in Albacete in 1509, they used the Treaty of Tordesillas to divide Aurun, Spain would give the Portuguese the eastern half, although Spain only had the southeast to offer (the other part of the eastern half was controlled by the Kensh), Portugal would later conquer the entire eastern half in 1515, which was the downfall of the Kensh Empire.

Spain then started to head west, having multiple wars with other tribes in Aurun, they finished conquering the entire western half in 1523, keeping the borders according to the Treaty of Tordesillas.

The first permanent settlement in Aurun was established by Franciscan friars in 1510 that went to Aurun to spread the word of the Gospel, when they built the mission of San Bruno de Colonia, which would become the foundation of the city of San Bruno (often nicknamed "Colo" nowadays), then more missions started to appear, one of them being San Ramón, which would become one of the biggest cities in Aurun.

Portugal then established it's first settlement in 1511, the town of Trindade, they are known to have a beautiful historical town that is regarded as part of Aurunese history, then they started to build more settlements when they conquered the eastern half after defeating the Kensh Empire at the Siege of Hat'ma-gan, which would be renamed to Adamagaõ.

Aurunese politics and political parties

Aurun is a presidential republic that has a Senate and Chamber of Deputies, the Senate has 120 seats, meanwhile the Chamber of Deputies has 536 seats, elections are mostly held every 4 years (sometimes elections can be called earlier due to snap elections).

To win an election, political parties must win a majority in the Chamber of Deputies (the name of the parliament), many of them form coalitions with other parties, to win that majority and establish a government, the other coalition which has lost the election forms the opposition, habitants of contistuencies have to vote for an MP to get a seat in the Chamber of Deputies, all coalitions must have a leading candidate for President of Aurun, then the canditates start debating on many issues, the political candidate with the most votes shall become the President, but they'll need permission if the majority is opposed to the winning presidential candidate.

For the Senate however, each state gets 3 senators, it is more competitive on state level, many candidates from different parts of the state fight for the senator title, the Senate is the more wiser house of the National Courts, they decide on treaties, can veto any laws proposed by the president or the Chamber of Deputies and can call snap elections.

Aurun since it's foundation has been a democracy for most of it's time, except during the rule of Rubian Mechero (1911-1918) and Marcel "Marcie"  Estrosbure (1938-1955), it has had many presidents and it was ruled by many parties.

Political parties need to be represented with acronyms that have the same letters in all the three languages, as to underatand which party they are referring to, since the three official languages are Latin languages.

Here are the political parties that can run for national elections:
