History
1567 — 1700
Easten was founded as the Southwestern Territory in 1567. It was roughly half the size of the present-day Easten because of the Northern Territory (then part of Slagen) occupying the other half. The huge expanse of land, roughly 24,000,000 square miles, was sparsely inhabited at the time. During the 1500s, towns started to pop up along the Monterry Sea and the border with Slagen. Until 1670, the capital was East Bay along the Monterry. The interior of the country (about 98%) remained untouched until the mid-1600s.
In 1631, the Southwestern Territory launched a government plan to explore the interior, southern and western areas of the country. By the 1650s, much of the land had been explored and the official national borders were drawn up on a new map of the country. Since East Bay was becoming harder to govern from due to its location, a new capital was needed. The explorers suggested a large tropical bay in the south-east of the country. Because of the abundant palm trees, the area was dubbed “Palm Bay” by the travelers. In 1670, the Southwestern Territory announced the founding of Palm Bay, the new capital. While located in a distant part of the country, its position along the coast made it an excellent place for shipping and tourism.
