History of Riojania

From Konorepedia, the free encyclopedia of the Konorean Isles
The first indigenous people of the Konores were hunters and gatherers, and when the Spanish explorer Leopoldo Rodrigues arrived on the island in 1811 and in the subsequent Spanish colonization, Riojania's culture was heavily influenced by Iberian culture. Initially serving as a plantation colony, Riojania fought its way to independence from 1834 to 1842, achieving said independence through a document that has become known as "El Permiso". The Kingdom of Riojania that was established in the wake of independence held out the rest of the 19th century, with King José I. de Narro-Riojania constituting a National Assembly to write a constitution.

The hunters and gatherers of prehistoric Riojania most certainly lived together in small tribes of up to fifty individuals. Human remains found on the island of Riojania, largest of the Konores isles, suggest that humans first may have settled down on the island around 3200 BCE, although some scholars have put forward the theory that the Konores, Riojania included, may have acted as a sort of spring board for the settlement of the Americas as early as 10,000 BCE, but this theory has been massively criticized in recent years.

Riojania seems to have been a central hub for settlements and trade interactions. The first larger settlements on the island were probably erected on the oceanside, with orchestrated inland exploration and colonisation efforts coming much later, around 1000 to 800 BCE.
