Is this how long factbooks are supposed to be?

Karakokoan History 01 (use these dispatches as roleplay reference articles, also I'm not sure how long factbooks are supposed to be, hopefully this is average or something)
In the beginning, Karakoko did not exist. While certain nations could be found, scattered across the world, the dense jungle that used to cover all of Karakoko and nearby nations was deemed too inhospitable for sedentary human civilization. However, unbeknownst to what are today the most influential, powerful, and famous nations, there was a tiny village in the middle of it all. Its name was Ka'ako-o.
You would be forgiven for not understanding the correlation between this insignificant village and a large country. While the exact number will never be known, it is estimated that anywhere between 60 and 2000 people lived in the village. As far as we know, this was the only village of its size for many miles around. Several are abandoned now, but Ka'ako-o is still inhabited, and now boasts a population of 748000; one of the largest cities in Karakoko. As for the people of Ka'ako-o themselves, plenty of them should have been Aboriginal Karakokoan. Considering that Karakoko is approximately 61% Aboriginal, it would not be completely surprising to discover that the Ka'ako-o of before is the same.
Many years passed, and Ka'ako-o grew. By now, the town had 45000 residents, and was at least somewhat modern, although it would be many, many years until the formal country of Karakoko would form. By now, the space near Karakoko's territory was being looked at by a number of regions. A number of new villages had also sprung up in the jungle, marking the peak of Karakoko's jungle.
Each village was separated from all civilization by hundreds of kilometers. Consequentially, each developed by themselves, with their own culture. This may be seen in modern Karakoko, as immigrants from all around the world come to settle here. The jungles of modern Karakoko host many cultures, each more complex and unique than anything one could imagine. As one may imagine, each village formed their own special culture, though if a resident of such a village were to leave, they would spread their culture throughout their new region, possibly eliminating another culture in the process.
Ka'ako-o was one such village with an exclusive culture contained withn its boundaries. It was built in a natural plain that was completely surrounded by rainforest. The animals would regularly cross for hunting grounds, and the people of Ka'ako-o exploited this quirk of the environment that resulted in them being much more developed than the other jungle villages, while also being very eco-friendly. Due to this, it was this village that caught the attention of nearby regions.
As the years passed, and the regions' influence over the jungle increased, a sense of brooding nationalism began to circulate among the residents of Ka'ako-o. They felt rather oppressed by the fact that they were being treated like puppets and wanted to form their own nation.
This did not go over very well with people loyal to the regions influencing the region of Ka'ako-o and nearby territories under its influence, the population of which totaled nearly 4 million people. They strenuously opposed the revolutionaries, and attempted to ask the larger and more powerful regions for assistance. After all, they were supporting them. Unfortunately, the regions had now seen that trying to fight with a losing cause was a recipe for disaster, so they declined and left the loyalists to fend for themselves.
Naturally, after discovering that the influencers did not want to join them, they converted to the other side. Almost immediately after this, the leaders of the new revolution declared a new nation. Named after the home that was being assimilated into the sphere of influence of the region known as the West Pacific, they used a latinized translation of the original Kaah'a name: Karakoko.

(idk this is probably way too long, it failed to process the first time)
