Latian Republic
History
Conquest of the Irin Territory
In 192 MT, the Latian republic conquered all three spatting nations, after launching an air invasion, through Irin, which they saw as a strategically useful center of operations in the region. This proved correct, and benefitted the Latians greatly, and once again the Irin ended up oppressed by others. Just 8 years afterwards, in 200, a group of Latian Rebels who called themselves the Spartans saw the same strategic significance in the Plateau, and conquered it. Despite their professed goals of making life easier for everyone and increasing equality before the law, the Irin were oppressed even more under the rebel group, as they were accused of being Latian sympathizers. The Spartan Rebellion was defeated by the Latians in 202, when they were pushed out of Irin. Ironically, the Latians too began to treat them even worse, as they suspected the Irinians of being Spartan sympathizers. In truth, the few surviving documents published by Irinians during this period paint a very different picture. According to the Irinian Philosopher Bartholomew Sarcat, “The Irinians do not sympathize with either side. For the past 200 years, they have suffered great injustices from every foreign power that has conquered them. The most recent record of an Irinian Ruler in Irin is a single page of a manuscript describing the Reign of ‘Good King Vernalk.’ It is high time that we change that.” Sarcat was executed for his dissentious teachings in 209. The next year, a new power found itself possessing the region. The New Roman Republic (NRR) was rapidly expanding, and gobbled up Irin - which they renamed to the Campestrem Regionem (CR) - along with many other provinces.
