The [[First Kingdom of Rakeo]] was established in 656 as an extension of a system of government originally designed to protect farming settlements across the island, upending the status quo of city-states dominating the countryside. While challenges emerged over the centuries, the kingdom remained intact until a plague on crops spread across the island. Forests reclaimed unmaintained fields, and famines took their toll as well. This dark age lasted for the next centuries. At the beginning of the 16th century, the great city-state of the west, [[Olino]], sought protection against the "destiny of conquest" put forth by their western neighbor. In doing so, [[Moreno I]] would unite Olino with [[Paragon]] and [[Jinosia]] in a military alliance that became the rebirth of a united Rakeoian monarchy. In 1838, the [[Invasion of Rakeo]] by [[Creeperopolis]] dismantled the First Republic and established the [[Captaincy General of Rakeo]]. Following the [[First independence referendum (Rakeo)|First independence referendum]], a colonial republic was allowed to administer the island, and with the [[Second independence referendum (Rakeo)|Second independence referendum]], the [[Second Republic of Rakeo]] fully restored the nation's autonomy. In 1950, the [[Rakeoian Civil War]] broke out following a widespread mutiny in Olino, and the murder of multiple agents of the Republican government. After five years of bloody fighting, the [[Stratocratic Republic of Rakeo]] was solidified as the island's government.

The [[Empire of Rakeo]] was established in 656 as an extension of existing agreements between neighboring kingdoms, allowing for the peaceful settling of disputes. While challenges emerged over the centuries, the empire remained intact until an outbreak of crop disease spread across the island sometime in the 12th century, resulting in a fragmentation that would persist until the 17th century.

The Rakeoian economy used to be heavily based on agricultural and textile exports, but under the isolationist policies of the government during 1955-1980, exports fell and the economy contracted to its modern value of ℝ34.1 trillion. (The Rakeoian [[Ralgi]] has hyperinflated to over 113 times as much as the Quebecshirite Credit, the base currency of Terraconserva. As such, the figure of ℝ34.1 trillion is equivalent to ₡0.3 trillion Credits.) The country continues to struggle with historically poor foreign relations, a drug epidemic, a weak economy, and country-wide poverty. The official currency of Rakeo is the Rakeoian Ralgi and it has been since the end of the Second Republic. Rakeo has been commonly called "a dictatorship in everything but name".

In 1950, the Rakeoian Civil War broke out following a failed coup attempt and mutiny. After five years of intermittent fighting, a Stratocratic Republic composed of army officials was solidified as the island's government. The new government was notably hostile to Creeperopolis until a confrontation over control of the [[Asequi Strait]] and [[Susla]] led to the [[Surian Fishing War]] ending with Rakeoian territorial and political concessions.

Rakeo, officially the Stratocratic Republic of Rakeo (Creeperian/Rakeoian Spanish – Iberic: República Estratocrática de Rakeo), is a repressive nation ruled by a military oligarchy, and is the second poorest in Sur. It shares a naval border with Creeperopolis and Sequoyah. The capital and largest city of the country is Olino, where as much as a tenth of the population lives. As of 2020, an estimated 30 million people live in the island nation.

The Empire of Rakeo was established in 656 as an extension of existing agreements between neighboring kingdoms, allowing for the peaceful settling of disputes. While challenges emerged over the centuries, the empire remained intact until an outbreak of crop disease spread across the island sometime in the 12th century, resulting in a fragmentation that would persist until the 17th century.

In 1838, the invasion of Rakeo by Creeperopolis dismantled the existing governments and established the Captaincy General of Rakeo. Following the first independence referendum, a colonial republic was allowed to administer the island, and with the second independence referendum, the Second Republic of Rakeo established the nation's autonomy. In 1950, the Rakeoian Civil War broke out following a failed coup attempt and mutiny. After five years of intermittent fighting, a Stratocratic Republic composed of army officials was solidified as the island's government. The new government was notably hostile to Creeperopolis until a confrontation over control of the Asequi Strait and Susla led to the Surian Fishing War ending with Rakeoian territorial and political concessions.

The Rakeoian economy used to be based on agricultural and textile exports, but under the isolationist policies of the government during 1955 to 1980, exports fell and the economy contracted to its modern value of ℝ34.1 trillion. The Ralgi, the official currency of Rakeo, has hyperinflated to over 113 times as much as the Quebecshirite Credit, the base currency of Terraconserva. As such, the figure of ℝ34.1 trillion is equivalent to ₡300 billion credits. The country continues to struggle with poor foreign relations, a drug epidemic, a weak economy, and nationwide poverty.
