Tellia was founded in the year 577 by a group of wandering monks. Originally, Tellia consisted of a single City State, Romero. The name Tellia did not come into use until around 612, when other nearby city states began to unite to form a nation. By 679, Tellia was very similair to it's modern day form.
The monks, unhappy with the established churches of the day, traveled for around 12 years. The group began to consider itself to be a separate Church. After finding allys and sympathizers in villages, cities, and colonies throughout, they decided that a brand new nation was the only to gain what they wanted.
When Romero was founded, the leader of the monks was quickly proclaimed King. The royal family had been established. The Church, allowing all sorts of members (Catholic, Protestant, etc.) became a huge part of everyday life.
Tellia remained neutral and totally undemocratic until 1298 when it participated in a short skirmish over water rights with Shireroth. Afterwards, Tellia participated in several wars and a democratic system was thought up in 1476. Little has changed with the system in the past 500 years.
*UNFINISHED -- Much more to come*
