Heweland Isles was one of the ancient, but still a living civilization. It existed since the Towns age. So many civilizations, races, and ideas had passed this gorgeous land, and cheese people were one of them. The First ever state that managed to take all 25 islands of Heweland was Heweland State. It is known that it was established by the so-called “the first establishers of Heweland State” and all 4 of them were wizards hence why Heweland was administered by wizards throughout its history.
Cheese people used to live on 4 islands in the middle of south Heweland Isles, their main city was located on the Hartechter island called “Misttleherm city”. Cheese people used to live a peaceful life with their neighbors, and it stayed like that for a long time until the Heweland policies and economic structure changed. These radical changes caused all races to get concerned since no one had money to lean on, the economic structure of Heweland was Hewish socialism, that ideology allowed people to have a personal house, magical tools, and even a shop but 60% of the income went to the government and that government had met all the necessities of civilians, while had to provide their food and water but other things such as rent, bills, fees were paid by the government so people didn’t have to worry about going bankrupt because no one went bankrupt. But in the new economic structure government takes the 20% of income as taxes and the rest would have to be resolved by the citizen, people who had the ambition to become rich started to play dirty moves, a sudden price increase in goods, and homelessness. Heweland was in its ochlocracy decade.
When panic began some traders of cheesers decided to move from the motherland to explore new places and settle there where they can implement their ideas, policies, and new relationships. There was this one settlement that succeeded to establish a brand new country that would be problematic for the Alactorants, “The Cheso States”.
First, the Misttleherm town sent the settlers to establish the “Nearchester Peninsula settlement”. Settlers wanted to establish the settlement on a peninsula because they didn’t want to be seen by Alactorant states and their traders. The first cheesers that went to the peninsula were generic people and they were sent by the government.
So the Nearchester Peninsula settlement wasn’t a different country but rather connected to the Misttleherm town. But Misstleherm town just cannot regulate a settlement that is far away, it constantly has to use ships and spend time to just keep communications with the settlement. So the settlement couldn’t live long enough, the best it could do is build a village that barely lives without more people. So the first settlement failed with misery.
Months later Misttleherm sent more ships to re-establish the settlement. That settlement had cost a lot for the government so it couldn’t give up on that settlement so easily. That settlement got re-established and created a new village but this didn’t work too since the villages were lacking in currency. This caused authorities of cheese province to start propagandas about economic shift and settlement. They claim that the economic shift is a hoax and that Heweland would never do such a thing; and for the settlement, they claimed to succeed at the establishment but they are awaiting to implement policies about settlement migration. While this was happening the province had to decrease the taxes to 40%, but the taxes were still twice as high as their neighbors, of course, it's not only cheese province that did these acts, many other provinces have done similar things, even some authorities played a terrible move by increasing the taxes to 90% in order to exploit their own people and become the rich people of their kind.
The Third settlement would be established in the same place 5 years later by a wealthy philosopher Danilen for Derruf through his own fortune, other wealthy cheesers’ fortune, and government propagandas. The Third settlement would contain 30% of cheesers, this number was equivalent to emptying a small island Cheese province owned. The Third settlement was called “Third Nearchester Peninsula Settlement” but a couple of months later people would give up on using this name and instead give it “Chestor vassal state” since the government of cheese province still had political power over that state while Danilen for Derruf had economic power over chestor. According to a series of articles in a contract between Derruf and the government contained “sir Derruf may collect the taxes of the civilians of Chestor, and military equipment will be provided by Misttleherm authority.” and “Misttleherm authorities may have political influence over Chester including; policies, propagandas, war declarations.”. The government would only use the policies and propagandas actively while using its war declaration right once on some Alactorant villages in the future.

It's been only 5 years and Chestor was already expanding its border through the help of the government’s procreate policies. Everything in Chestor was somewhat settled, the state contained 3 villages and a town. While it is not necessary to mention right now but would be helpful in the future, sir Derruf was designing a political ideology in his free times, the idea was called “Derrufism” and that idea believed that a country must have 2 leaders, one must be an aristocrat to run the economy, and the other must be chosen by people. Derruf didn’t specify how the second leader should be chosen.
Since Chestor’s economy was run by Derruf, he implemented Hewish socialism because that’s what kept citizens happy. This economic implementation lead Cheesers of cheese province to rapidly move to Chester, and this resulted in Chester’s economic ascension and turning Nearchester Peninsula into the haven of trades. Loads of ships would visit the peninsula for some trades. Chestor finally created its first battalion and it was called the “Misttleherm battalion”. This battalion was made up of 3 companies, “The Hartechter company” was responsible for the defense of Cheese province, “Peninsulian company” was responsible for the defense of Chester city, and “Peon company” was responsible for the safe expansion of Chester state.
While Chester was rising and living its prosperity Cheese Province was struggling with Heweland authorities, the rise of rich people, and a shaky economy.
Heweland was a single state on paper but in reality, it got separated in terms of ideas and power. This would cause civil wars. 21 years after the formation of Chester, sir Derruf died from an unknown disease. This meant that Misttleherm authorities could own the entire state and its fortune. The contract signed by Derruf and Misttleherm authorities also had an article framing “if sir Derruf dies during the agreement 60% of his fortune will be claimed by the government and the rest 40% will be split between his relatives”. Chester was no longer governed by Derruf meaning Misttleherm authorities had full power of that place. With 60% of the wealth, the Misttleherm authorities tried to fix the local economy and relationships with their citizens. Meanwhile, the authorities had to put a governor on the Chestor, they decided to honor Fron Galion, the captain of Peon company, with a new rank “lieutenant colonel” and the governor of Chester for successfully raiding 2 Alactorant villages with his company, he now had the full control of the battalion and mild control of the state Chestor.
7 years after Galion got promoted, Cheese province still couldn’t fix the economy, they were too late, they had to execute all the wealthy people in the beginning so the economic problem would be fixed, but they were too late. Rich people were sick of Misttleherm authority trying to take over their wealth, so rich cheesers formed the “Rich rebellion council” just to fight back the government that tried to keep the Hewish socialism alive. The council did everything to overthrow the government and finally end the economic war. Huge backlashes across the cheese province organized by the council, running propagandas about how socialism is stealing from people, how the government bribed to lie about statistics; when in fact the council did a similar thing. After many disasters, Misttleherm authority has been overthrown after the council bribed the Hartechter company to fight along with them.
This had various results: Cheese province’s previous authorities would be executed and the new authority decided to finally name the province “Atrenia” and the authority's name would be “Atrenia Aristocratic Council” or in abbreviation “AAC”.
This Authoritarian change in Atrenia also resulted in Chestor becoming independent. Galion unexpectedly gained power over Chestor's state. First things he did as the new leader of Chestor state he renamed the state to “Cheso socialist Hegonomy”, execute the sergeant of Peninsulian company, banished Hartechter company from the battalion for being a traitor, and renamed the “Misttleherm battalion” to “Pion Battalion”. After settling the military system he then moved on to adding extra security to the Nearchester peninsula, building new villages, he even built a big city a bit far away from the peninsula, named “Tesmond city”. The city was so big that it was bigger than Misttleherm city. He created various economic, political, and military policies. One of the eye-catching policies is “when sir Fron Galion passes away, the name of the state shall change to Cheso Republic and following rulers will be Cheesar Council”, this of course is unexpected from a tyrant. 50 years have passed and when Fron Galion passed away the country was in 1-week mourn, as if they lost a hero. Later on, the next rulers were made up of 10 individuals in the council and the first policy have been passed, rename the “Cheso socialist Hegonomy” into “Cheso Republic”.
