Roman and Pre-historic era
In the pre-historic era, the land between what later became Poland and the Danube River were inhabited by Slavic tribes. In the Roman Era, the right bank of the Danube River became the border of the Roman Empire. In an attempt to expand to the left bank of the Danube, in August 200, the fortification of Castellum Danubicum  was built to preserve the colonization of the left bank of the Danube. After the Romans abandoned the Danube River Valley, the Avars invaded and started to live there.

Avars and Vandals
The Avars abandoned the Danube River Valley around 1000 AD. Shortly after they left, some Vandal tribes from the Mediterranean colonized the area. They made the first kingdom on Danube River soil, the Flutha Kingdom. The first ruler of Flutha was Flutheneckaer I. Flutheneckaer expanded the Flutha Kingdom towards the Northern Carpathian Mountains in modern Silesia. Other important kings of Flutha were Flutheneckaer X the Glorious, and Fieldfried Jugghammer.

Slavs
Flutha fell in 1300 to the Wolyn Kingdom. The Wolynian Slavs established the Chernogoria Kingdom and the Cherneorechia Kingdom. In 1302, King Ovladislav the Wiserer conquered the Chernogoria Kingdom and united the north and the south of the Danube Kindom in the Chernorechia Kingdom.

Trans-Regnum Era
The Slavs fell in 1708, after a reign of over 400 years. In the years after the collapse of Chernorechia, new states formed in the Danube River Valley. The most important city-state was Danueben. Schlesien-In-Breslava was an important city-state too. In 1740, however, the Austrian Empire anschlussed the states, signing the Treaty of Schlesierhueten.

Declaration of Independence
During World War I, the Danubian lands were a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, however, they didn't really participate in the war, since there were no large battles on Danubian ground. However, after the surrender of Austria-Hungary on November 3rd, 1918, several states like Czech Republic and Hungary started declaring independence. Meanwhile in Danubia, several people started seeking for independence from Austria-Hungary too. On Christmas Day, 1918, fierce libertarian demonstrations occured in Danubenburg, Breslau, and other cities. Days after, in the early morning of December 28th, Austro-Hungarian troops started retreating from Danubian soil. A day before, on the 27th, the Governor of Danueben, Il-Clemente de Francois, declared that Danubia would officially become independent. Only hours later, Ilia Obuvník, the leader of the rebels, declared independence of the Danubian Federation on Franz Square, Danubenburg. Directly after, the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed by Svyatogor Neviem, Ivan Horskéovce and Svyatoslav Svyatoslavov.

First Years
The constitution of the young Danubian Federation was officially adopted on January 21st, 1919. Article 1 stated that the Danubian Federation was a Federal Parliamentary Republic, making the Senate and the House of Delegates the highest governance of the Danubian Federation. The government is formed by a team of ministers, and a Secretary of State. The head of State is the Prime Minister, the first secundant is the Secretary of State.

On March 1st, 1919, the Polish-Silezian Commonwealth voted in a referendum to join the Danubian Federation. In the Declaration of Unity, signed in Pilchovice on March 29th, 1919, the Danubian Federation officially united with the PLC. In the Treaty of Versailles, Danubian was officially recognized as a souvereign state. A day before, on the 27th, elections were held into the House of Delegates. The Party for National Democracy (SND) won the elections, and Svyatogor Neviem became the first Prime Minister of the Danubian Federation.

The state rapidly grew in economic measures throughout the 1920s. However, the economic collapse of 1929 destructed the economy. In the 1931 Danubian Federation legislative elections, Neviem suffered a massive loss, while the Socialist Party (SS) won in a landslide victory.

The Socialist Party managed to recover the Danubian Federation from the economic crisis throughout the 1930s.

World War II
Danubian remained neutral in World War II. Starting of Late August 1939, Prime Minister Iliassyn declared that Danubian would remain neutral in the coming German assault on Poland. In November, Iliassyn caled for early elections to be held on January 15th, 1940. In the elections, however, Iliassyn lost to the conservative-nationalist Poznam Akoboha. Akoboha managed to keep the Danubian Federation neutral throughout the war.

Cold War

Danubenburg hosted the 1961 Danubenburg Conference between the United States and the Soviet Union, resolving the Canadian-Greenlandian Missile Crisis. Danubenburg also hosted the 1980 Danubenburg Conference. In 1988, it hosted the 1988 Olympics.

Modern Times

Government and Politics
The Danubian Federation is a federal non-presidential parliamentary republic with strong democratic traditions. The constitution of the was approved on 21 January 1918. It greatly strengthened the authority of the executive in relation to parliament. The executive branch itself has one leader: the Prime Minister of the Federation's Government, currently Svyatoslav Nový, who is head of state and is elected by Parliament.

The Danubian parliament is a bicameral legislature comprising a House of Delegates and a Senate. The House of Delegates deputies represent local constituencies and are directly elected for 4-year terms. The House has the power to dismiss the government, and thus the majority in the House determines the choice of government. Senators are chosen by a direct popular vote for 5-year terms.

The House of Delegates' legislative powers are limited; in the event of disagreement between the two chambers, the Senate has the final say. Parliament has a strong influence in shaping the agenda of the Government.

Monteregian politics are characterised by two politically opposed groupings: one left-wing, centred on the Democratic Party, and the other right-wing party, the Republican Party Since the 2015 House of Delegates elections, the executive branch is currently composed mostly of the Democratic Party.
