HISTORY
The region of Portegria has always been defined by its aggressive attitude and its lust for battle. The early Portans, Joints, and Farrosans all fought numerous conflicts over control of the water supply of the Dipy Lake. Eventually the Portan people established hegemony over the majority of the what is now Eastern Portegria. Slowly they assimilated the other cultures until all of what is now Portegria was under control of the Portans--direct or otherwise. This however, occurred nearly 2,000 years ago. During these many years, a tight bond between the many tribes was formed; as was a strict sense of duty to the whole in return for liberty, freedom, and security.
The status Quo would last for nearly 1800 years until in 1878, when the Dictatorial Monarchy of Rubestan began the colonization of the region. Millions were exterminated as the population collapsed from 100 million to 5 million. From their infrastructure in the Jernsley Islands, the nation of Rubestan inflicted nearly 100 years of oppression over the Portegrian people, perpetually keeping their population at 5 million to remind them of their overlords.
Eventually, in 1999, a rebel band led by Johanes Franklin Bernkan inspired a revolution. Men, Children, and even Women took arms as the fire of freedom spread into the hearts of every citizen. Bernkan and his soldiers marched across Portegria as the ill prepared Rubenstan Occuptionary Force (ROF) was defeated. The battle that turned the tide occurred at Dipy Lake, as 50,000 Portegrians aptly defeated the main force of Rubenstan's 100,000 force. It was a true victory for the Portegrian people as the invaders were repelled at the location that represented the epitome of what it meant to be a Portegrian. Eventually all of the mainland was in militia hands. However, for nearly 7 years, the heavily fortified Jernsley Islands were maintained by Rubenstan. On December 7th, 2011, Bernkan (now the defacto leader of the Portegrian people) led troops in an amphibious and aiborne assault of the islands, forcing the invaders from Portegrian lands once and for all. Now, the forts are used as a point of defense of the Portegrian coast as the Portegrian Federal Navy vigilantly patrols the Bernkan Straight. They are now the first defense of the Portegrian People's liberties.
