BACKGROUND
For about 50,000 years before the first Ardian settlement in the late 18th century, Sutherland was inhabited by indigenous Sutherians, who spoke languages classifiable into roughly 250 groups. After the Ardian discovery of the continent by explorers in 1606, Sutherland's eastern half was claimed by the Ardian Empire in 1750 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New East Ardia from 26 January 1763. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades, and by the 1850s most of the country had been explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies established.
After numerous disputes between the colonies and the Ardian Empire, New East Ardia and Kingsland declared independence from Ardia on 1 February 1901, which led to the subsequent Sutherian Revolution. The Sutherian Revolution lasted until 1913, where Sutherland, second only to Rokkenjima, was able to successfully rebel from the Ardian Empire.
