==History of Bazzar==

This a fantasy article

Bazzar is believed to have been inhabited be natives since the early 1200’s; they lived there in Eleora until Bazzar became a separate continent after in Great quake in 1652. Bazzar moved north westward on the Eastern Bazzarian Plate and the Bazzarian plates.

These native formed tribes which lived in harmony; flora and fauna flourished until the first Great War against Pyrinia in 1697, the tribes fought off the Prynian invaders. After the war the tribes banded together and signed the mutual agreement pact at Dually Cove (Now Joshua City). Bazzar was born officially on the 22 march 1702 only ten days after the Great War. Joshua City was established and the forty-five tribes lived there. There was 322sqkm of the city built by 1767, after Joshua City was officially annocouned overpopulated, Settlers headed west along the coast to a small coastal lagoon, which was where is Sparta is today, the settlers built harbours and ships between Joshua City and Sparta started sailing, Fishing nets were set up off-shore to supply food to the growing population, more settlers headed southwest along the Southern Bazzarian Coastline to discover the Little pebble coastline and found more cities: Monaro city, Elessar city and the entire state of Portland.

The Zephyr River (a huge river that winds 2340km through the Bazzarian countryside) was beginning to be used for agricultural purposes, and the agriculture industry thrived, Bazzar began importing vegetables and fruit orchids to Eleora and Elessar.
Relations between Eleora and Bazzar grew stronger and stronger, allied with other countries in Elessar they set up the EBEA (Eleorian-Bazzarian-Elessrian Alliance) which allowed for trade of industry, money, armaments, animals and immigrants. This also ensured the smaller nations in Elessar were defended against Pyrinia. Who was gaining military might, once again.
In the 1790’s the Bazzar nation expanded to over 5 major cities and hundreds of towns and villages scattered across the Bazzarian Continent, electricity was discovered and supplied to homes in suburbs in major cities, little isolated towns wouldn’t get it until 1801, a huge reservoir was built on the Verona Dam in the state of Verona, the city also called Verona was founded in 1795. The Verona reservoir supplied the Southern Coast of Bazzar with fresh water.

Settlers now headed east from Joshua city and discovered a huge bay that was though originally to be an ocean; it was named Turquise Bay after an adventurer Ian Turquise who died after falling off the hazardous ridges that lead down to the water. It was on the northern shores that Los Redthorn, a huge sprawling city today, was then a mountainous land that spread as far as the eye could see.
Los Redthorn was founded in 1820 after a bunch of settlers formed a tiny fort on the banks of an Island in the Papricorn; a landform caused by hundreds of years of plate movements and earthquakes, the settlers protected the forest, from loggers in late 1880’s after the timber shortage on the Southern coast.

More settlers eventually populated the two peninsulas that were the Turquise Bay entrance. Willow city was on the south peninsula, it was a garden city established as a tourist resort for tired travellers travelling from Carrington islands back to Eleora, it became a huge port city and massive amounts of freights were delivered to its docklands.

Alex City the first major western coast city was discovered in the summer of 1856 by Alexander James chivers, who resided in his city until he died in 1974, Alex city had a beautiful harbour foreshore constructed to make it a popular destination for tourist and holiday makers. It is also the only city mining gold in Bazzar; this is because Alex City is located on the Edge of the Van halén gold reef. It gave Alex city a tough economy as well Alex city is renowned for its agriculture industry with over 45,000 farms in the Alex City Region and the entire state of Xander.

The population of Alex city was lifted considerably after the quake which displaced thousands of Carritines in Carrington islands, although in July 1899 Alex City was struck by an Earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale.
On the night of the 26th of April 1867 two tradesmen Gerald Mc Macarthur and Menno Idema piloted their aircraft the “Spur” from Fernville to Grasston; small rural town on the outskirts of Alvara City.

They were the first pilots in an aircraft in Bazzar; twenty years later in 1887 Commercial aircraft flew from different cities and countries to Bazzar. In spring 1896 a pilot by the name of Alvander Mayland attached a jet engine to his KTR-147 Bi-plane, on takeoff his jet engine seized and the plane fell into a fatal dive just 500m from the ground it slammed into the ground, Alvander was rushed to hospital; he had broken his arm, collar bone and fractured five of his ribs and bones. Despite this setback just 4 months later, he crafted a more advanced jet engine he attached to an Eaglehawk 5250, another bi-plane he took off and flew to a farm field just over 25km away, even though the range wasn’t far, the jet-age had begun.
Passenger jets entered service in 1920, with the Merryn Airways 688 Jet; in 1938 almost all airports had jet services to and from Bazzar.

Military jets came into the spotlight in 1935 with single seater fighters capable of speeds of up to 788k/ph and ranges of 3350km; they carried various armaments like Heat seeking missiles, cannons, anti tank missiles and also anti shipping bombs. Radar improved with the introduction of jets, with all most every aircraft (non-military) equipped with the S2K-540 radar system, night-vision and infra-red technogly was introduced in the late 40’s, many bi-planes and monoplanes stayed in service with the public and the military.

In 1951 Bazzarian settlers headed north into desert & tundra, they founded Los Remegänn, Half-peaks the main northern city of Bazzar, and Aviary-Palin; a major port city the west coast, also a major power provider with the Hydro Island Hydro-electric scheme which dammed water fall hill, where a steep hill was covered entirely in water. The underground rail system which linked all the 25 major cities in Bazzar by rail which completed by 1961, the train motor cars could propel a seven-car train to speeds of over 950km’s an hour! This was also the year all cars in Bazzar were by law order to switch from petroleum to Laser systems, which could make cars faster, more efficient and less polluting, within a decade greenhouse gases fell by 48%.
Mass transit in Bazzar grew over the eighteen years with over 2.5 million people using public transport every day in 1979. The 32 National freeway was completed in 1985 with the 72 Freeway (Joshua City-Sparta). This reduced travel time between the cities by road by 3hrs.

In 1992 Bazzar entered an high-tech industrial revolution, pollution fell by a further 25%, major tree planting sites were established in urban areas, electronics, laser tech and hydrogen studies were all revolutionizing at fast rate, Laser cars soon become so efficient that they could travel, 200,000kms on one Laser-kit, soon laser kits became more advanced, this in turn with better tyres, improved laser-fluid mixtures and carbon-fibre body frames increased performance by 50%. In 1998 Pyrinia started another great war by invading Eleora, Bazzar made fighting robots called mechmarines® these mechmarines went to defend Eleora, a huge wall called the D-fence wall was built in 2001, shortly after the canyon bay bridge, fierce air battles were engaged above the skies of Joshua City. Undersea towns were built on the Joshua city and little pebble coastlines in the late 90’s after the discovery of Oceanic gel; a gel that seals out water and has the ability of buoyancy, huge plasma guns were built under the waves. Numerous invasions of Bazzar were staged by the Prynian National Army.

Today Bazzar is flourishing with a population with over 3499,786 people living in the major cities like: Joshua City, Sparta, Monaro City, Willow City, Alex City, Maverick City, Verona, Alvara City, Aragon, Los Redthorn and Half-peaks, and another 426,980 living in towns and villages across Bazzar, the total population of Bazzar in 2006 was an estimated 3926,779 people living in Bazzar.
