===Founding===
Otonabee was founded in a small section of unclaimed land on the border between the central desert and the western [[Khailsan Empire|Khailsan]] Plateau by a group of real-life friends, establishing the capital city of Lynn, with several skyscrapers quickly being constructed. This group had initially started out raiding [[Yamato]] and were mistaken as combatants of the [[Ez2War]]. Following a rapid re-education and material support from Yamato, esorcher and ibis, the nation was firmly established. A month later, the nation of the [[Tribalfolk of the Great Mountain]] were found to be largely inactive <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/fwz0fo/partitioning_of_the_tribalfolk_of_the_great/</ref>, and their lands were divided between the neighboring nations of [[Miletos]], [[Anvard]] and Otonabee, causing this new nation to grow substantially.

===The Central Powers Alliance===
Following several months of a strong connection with their north-eastern neighbors in [[Varathia]], and the rapidly expanding nation of [[Mount Augusta]], Otonabee joined the military alliance known as the Central Powers <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/gk3n83/announcing_the_central_powers/</ref> on the 15th of May 2020. This alliance would later be invoked during the [[Hell War]], and dissolved in mid August following the expiry of the initial agreement.
=== The Laurentian Seas Alliance ===
Otonabee was a initial signatory of the [[LSA|Laurentian Seas Alliance (LSA)]], later invoking the alliance during the Hell War. Following the apparent lack of unity within the alliance, its failure to adequately assist [[Norlund]] during the [[Northern War]] and the conflicts between the member nations of [[Duckapore]] and the [[Industrial Workers of the World|IWW]], Otonabee later left the alliance.

''Main Article: [[Hell War]]''
With the attack on Varathia by the [[Hell Gang]] on the 19th of June 2020, their Otonabian allies rushed to assist as the alliance required. In the defense of the Varathian vault and the offense of the attack bunker near [[Chungus]], the Otonabian soldiers mounted a valiant strike against the aggressors as a part of the initial
===Expansion Islands===
''Main Article: [[Gallagher Territory]]''
While a small nation, Otonabee was quick to establish a small claim the New World, being invited early to the Berlin Conference and securing the land upon the new continent's discovery. This land changed from the initial claim established in the [[Berlin Conference]], with the island off the coast of the claims being exchanged with neighbouring [[Synlandia]], later a state within the [[Imperial Federation]]. In mid-August, this territory was formalised as the [[Gallagher Territory]], under the leadership of a custodian assigned by the President. This territory was an initial signatory to the [[Far Seas Alliance]], initially as Otonabee but later amended to only include Gallagher.
=== Conflict with Olympia ===
In mid August, as part of a push to deactivate leftover infrastructure from the Hell War, an old tunnel running the length of Otonabee was found to be used by members of Olympia for moving between the Hell Vault and the Ascension Vault, with the tunnel having been extended without consulting Otonabee <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/igsj7e/otonabian_statement_on_olympian_aggression/</ref>. The Otonabian judge, IKEA_FRIDGE, quickly deactivated the illegal tunnel, plugging it with reinforced obsidian before later gloating about this action to a member of Olympia<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/igrz7p/otonabees_act_of_aggression/</ref>. While the status of the tunnel as private or public remained contested, Otonabee refused to remove the obsidian, and Olympia swiftly attacked IKEA and the president, Sadie in Lynn, pearling IKEA and retreating to Hell. While negotiations were underway, a group of Otonabians took to breaking Olympian bastions within their territory, before being attacked. The president, Sadie, was afkbreaking a bastion while at Costco and was swiftly pearled. The remaining members were chased down and also pearled by Olympia. Mere hours after this, Vanax, prawny331 and Sadie agreed on terms for the release of the pearls and the payment of reparations for the removal of the obsidian until an alternate tunnel was to be constructed within a week<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/ih8q6b/olympia_otonabee_peace_negotiations/</ref>.
=== Unification with Varathia ===
''Main Article: [[Otona-Varathian Empire]]''
Following the complete obliteration of most of the entire active Otonabian population in a mere 24 hours at the hands of Olympia, discussions between Otonabee and Varathia progressed towards the discussion of unification. Back at the nation's founding, the then president of Varathia, Aresot, had approached the Otonabians about joining Varathia, and this conversation sparked several times within the Otonabian government, being shut down nearly every time. With the abdication of Aresot for the new emperor, Logiche, the expiry of the Central Powers treaty and the increase of tensions within the mainland, Otonabee put forward terms for unification under the Treaty of Lynn<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A_BY-K722t-WLVAmtS64zYQsYWxxd1hWoGwlpLMt9Fs/edit?usp=sharing</ref>, desiring to join Varathia only as equals, forming a new semi-autonomous state within the empire following a referendum dissolving the Otonabian constitution. This state was to be controlled by a democratically elected Beekeeper, who would maintain control over land in the region, had the power to create laws with the Emperor's approval and represented the interests of the state within the Varathian government. This treaty was announced to the general public on the 31st of August <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/ikbrgr/announcing_the_unification_of_nations_and_the/</ref>, and discussions about the election of the first Beekeeper are currently underway.
