END OF 21ST CENTURY:
2059 - After initial victories followed by crushing defeats to guerillas, the Urcean military in New West Kazomal is on the verge of destruction. However, after Congress declares Constantine Nero's "Empire of Markund" ambitions unconstitutional, President Nero reallocates the forces intended for Markund for NWK. The troop surge provides some success, as the newly formed NWK regular military gets routed several times. President Nero and the NWK Provisional government agree to a Treaty, in which Urcea guarantees and recognizes the independence of NWK in exchange for no disruption of business interests in the region. Urcean populace poor opinion of Nero grows and he is voted out.

2060 - Relations between Kazomal and Urcea decline rapidly after Urcea recognizes the independence of the former Kazomal colony and after the failure of the Regional Congress. Sets precedent for Ixnay politics to be defined by Urceo-Kazomal rivalry.

2067 - A far-right extremist nationalist movement spreads across central Ixnay in the former lands of the Uzbeck Empire. Several small states are overthrown and unified into a new powerful country - the State of Morningstar.

2073 - State of Morningstar declares war on Chrissinople. In one of the last great events of regional cooperation, former Congress powers, particularly Urcea and Kazomal, assist Chrissinople in defeating Morningstar. In the ensuing negotiations, Chrissinople is granted a signifigant amount of land in the area based on ethnic lines as well as lands captured from Morningstar. Kazomal supports dismantling Morningstar while Urcea supports reform into a Republic. Urcean interests win the day but some Kazomal interests result in the creation of the aforementioned "Big Chrissinople". Chrissinople allies itself with Kazomal as the Republic of Morningstar allies itself with Urcea.

2075 - In an event known as the "Great Beacon of War" by later historians, a massive earthquake and eruption destroys much of New Chalcedon. The people and government are spared thankfully but emigrate beyond the traditional borders of the region.

2076 - Alduan secession crisis. Portion of Chrissinople secedes and defects to Republic of Morningstar. Relations between the two states deteriorate.

2078 - Chrissinople invades Alduan, sparking the Third Great War in Ixnay. Urcea sides with Morningstar while Kazomal honors its alliance with Chrissinople.

2080 - War escalates from Central Ixnay to a region-wide conflict, including NWK, Dorhaven, and Pel on the side of Morningstar and Knifecogenstar, Dormanshire, and Odoneru on side of Chrissinople. Odoneru is quickly anihilated after a sustained Urcean campaign in the northern islands. Bob from Sales is also involved, but in a seperate war with Knifecogenstar.

2081 - Third year of the Third Great War. Fighting intensifies in West Ixnay; Dormanshire, supported by Kazomal forces in the region, launch an invasion of New West Kazomal. New West Kazomal is expected to fall, but due to heroism on the part of its soldiers and the soldiers of Pel, New West Kazomal survives and the invaders are held off and pushed back to NWK's northern border, where a stalemate ensues and neither side is able to make a major advance for the remainder of the war.

2085 - Seventh year of the Third Great War; Knifecogenstar is overrun and partitioned between Pel and BFS.

2088 - In the tenth year of the war, most of the great forces are now engaged in massive campaigns in Central Ixnay. It all culminates in the greatest land battle in regional history, the Battle of Lorham, the assembled forces of Urcea, Morningstar, Dorhaven, NWK, Pel, and other small states met the forces of Chrissinople, Dormanshire, Kazomal, and a Knifecogenstar Remnant Brigade (under Kazomal command) in open battle, containing almost every element of modern land warfare. With two major allies in the Kazomal bloc eliminated, the Urcean bloc was now on the offensive and sought to cross the Lorham river, capture the city of Chrissinople, and end the war. Millions of men on both sides participate. In the end, it was tactically inconclusive, and, although the Urcean allies were unable to cross the Lorham River to besiege Chrissinople, it was a victory for no one. Massive casualties were inflicted by both sides and great amounts of war equipment were left destroyed out in the Lorham River Basin, in a scene reminiscent of the Battle of Nations. All sides, looking to restore the peace and regional decorum prevalent of nearly thirty years prior, agree to sign a cease fire and sit at the negotiating table.

2089 - After a year of discussion, the Treaty of La Joya, signed in neutral former Istorya, officially brings the Third Great War to an end. The major powers, in an attempt to create regional stability and a problem-solving polity in Central Ixnay, create a superstate called the "Third Empire" but also known as "Federal Uzbeck". This new state operated very similarly to the Holy Roman Empire insofaras it was a Federal Elective Empire. Several small states that were essentially independent swore allegiance to the central Imperial Government. The Empire would comprise a portion of former Uzbeck Empire territory, primarily large states like Morningstar and Chrissinople but also many small states in the area. Some of the smaller states become "Elector Republics", meaning that their government could cast a vote for who would become the Emperor. The Emperor, according to the Constitution (created to protect the delicate balance between the Imperial and National Governments) would serve so long as he was the head of an Imperial State. The war comes to an end, but many blame Urcea and Kazomal as the collapse of the Regional Congress nearly thirty years prior could have prevented the war. Urcea and Kazomal themselves have gained little; Kazomal built several colonies in former New Chalcedon while Urcea occupied several islands of Odoneru.

2096 - The Third Empire and its lands have made a full economic recovery, reaching pre-war levels of economic activity and infrastructure. The Imperial Government, with its superior administrative abilities and central organization of resources, is mostly responsible for the resurgant region. Most anti-Urcean and anti-Kazomal opinions in the region begin to dissolve after this event. The first Emperor, Martin (Martin II, King of Chrissinople) reigns throughout the recovery and is hailed by a savior as some and a tyrant by others due to the aggressive central powers he exerts.

2099 - Martin II is assassinated, and the eight electoral republics vote evenly about whom to elect Emperor. The Imperial Government still maintains peace and stability, but the interregnum is an uneasy one. Through military, economic, and other means several Imperial States seek to gain control of the Throne.

2100 - Turn of the "New Century" for Ixnay. One initially characterized by growth and peace was soon brought to chaos by Three Great Wars. Great technological innovations were made as many states in Ixnay prepare to branch out into space, not only with exploration but with colonial and military interests. Military technology has not progressed as fast as liked, so, although power armor is common and some states have access to various light or particle-based weapons, they are inexpensive and not common. Political stability and friendly relations have for the most part been reestablished in Ixnay, and all look forward to the coming century.
