The Forgotten History of the Finno-Korean Hyper War
By Han Myung-soo

Chapter 2: The Great Empires

We will begin our history of the Finno-Korean hyper war with detailing
the individual kingdoms, nations, and empires of the time, as well as
the inner workings of their governance. We will be detailing five of
these societies within this book:

The Hwan-guk Empire
The Finnish Empire
The Emu Confederacy and its vassal state, Old Israel
The Melanoid Kingdom
Kumari Kandam (Lemuria)

Though these five societies are not the sole nations that inhabited the
pre-historic world, we will omit the smaller tribes of the time until or
unless the become relevant in the upcoming war. Other historians may question
the omission of the Hueish Khanate of South America from the list of
societies I will be giving the greatest amount of attention, but my studies
simply do not find the Khanate to have been of great influence in the course
of the hyperwar. Though I will not give special attention to the Hueish Khanate,
they will indeed find themselves detailed to a lesser extent when the period of
Finnish genome meddling arrives within these pages.

Though we know which year the hyperwar took place, there exist no records of
the founding periods of any of these societies. This can be attributed to both
the time at which these societies existed, which make dating their recovered artifacts
difficult, and the usage of annihilation methods by the Finnish and, to a lesser
extent, Hwan Empires. Our earliest records of these empires date their existence
back to at least 59,743 BCE, though we know that they have existed far longer than
that due to the fact that both empires were already established and had deeply engrained
culture that had even begun to spread to far away continents. As our earliest dated
relics are from the Finnish Empire, we will begin with them.

PART 1: The Finnish Empire

The Finnish Empire was a widespread, European society that spanned from what is today
eastern Spain to the northwestern portion of modern-day Russia. The capital of
the empire was Helsinki, which was established in 59,743 BCE, but was not made
the capital of the Finnish Empire until two years later in 59,745 BCE, when the empire
was officially founded. Before being made the capital, Helsinki was a prosperous
fishing city led by Aato Ranta. During the two year period between Helsinki's founding
and it being made the capital, the center of the Finnish empire was a smaller
city by the name of Vantaa. Vantaa was led by the leader of what was, at the
time, the United Vanha tribes, Jalo Virtanen. These tribes were comprised of semi-nomadic
settlements that comprised all of the modern-day Nordic countries.

Little is known of Virtanen or his leadership of the Vanha tribes, but we can
deduce that he was not an extremely popular ruler. After the death of Jalo Virtanen
due to unknown causes, with no heir to be found and no apparent plan to continue
governance after his death, Aato Ranta used his leadership of Helsinki to gain
favor with the rest of the Vanha tribes, which had already begun breaking away from
each other. Seeing him as a decent enough ruler when faced with the flourishing state of his
city, Ranta was elected ruler in 59,745 BCE, with little to no opposition.
Immediately after being granted rulership status, and seeing the state of the
degrading Vanha tribes, Ranta ended the tribalistic laws of the Vanha tribes and imposed
imperial rule over the land, made Helsinki the capital of the new empire, and began a
southward campaign of European domination.

Among the laws abolished were policies on everything from warfare to approved foods.
Ranta made it legal to eat fish completely raw, or sometimes even rotten. When we
begin to discuss the period of Finnish genome research later on in this work, we
may notice certain ties from this specific policy and the full-on genetic experiments
conducted by the Finnish army during the hyperwar. Some historians claim that Aato
Ranta and other city leaders may have decided together to allow rotten fish to be
consumed in an effort to practice early methods of eugenics. Though these claims
lack much evidence, the idea was assumed to be to allow whoever would possibly
wish to eat rotten food to do so in an attempt to allow them to get sick and
eliminate these people from the population.

Though I do stress to the reader that very, very few documents from this period
were preserved, and fewer still related to these theories. What some may think
was an effort to eliminate certain peoples from the population may have been nothing
more than a morbid joke communicated between heads of cities.
