Etymology and pronunciation
The word "Kresneo" comes from the High Kresneon word "Keresnio", singular word for the Keresniye people.

The first kingdom that would be descendant of Kresneo would be named as Keresnea, "land of the Keresniye". There are no different names for Kresneo, other than "Kresneu" in Middle and Lower Kresneon, and "Kresno" in the Solnechnyish language.

Kresneo is pronounced (Kress-nee-oh), but can be also pronounced as (Keres-nee-o) or (Keres-nee-u)

History
The settlements in modern-day Kresneo are recent, however, an excavation has discovered traces of Proto-Keresniyan bodies, going all the way back to the year -9, in what would be Southwestern Wanzei. People have tried to discover the places where the Proto-Keresniye and the Old Keresniye peoples were inhabiting before the arrival of the Keresniye in Yanodse, and many clues were discovered, like traces of human bones on the coasts of the Noorden region, which could have proven that the Keresniye were moving from coast to coast. Until reaching Yanodse, the Keresniye population became sedentary.

With the development of modern weapons, agriculture and a government system, Kresneo was born as a tribe in the year 24, however it was commonly annexed under different nations.

Antiquity (24 - 328)
In 24, The settlement of Yanudsun (modern-day Yanodse) was created, making this the oldest city and later capital and important city in Kresneo, and at the same time, the settlement of Vitvetum (Wiswethers) was also formed. The Keresniye started expanding westwards, but staying on that position. Other tribes decided to attack the Keresniye and annex them, but cultural identity still persists to this day.

Early Middle Ages (328 - 1000)
The Keresniye made multiple inventions, or sometimes copied their neighbours. Many cities existed during the Keresniye control on the lands.

Chief Yatannam, leader of the Keresniye at the time, invaded multiple neighbouring tribes, but with the exponential growth of other tribes, the Keresniye region would fall under foreign hands.

High and Late Middle Ages (1000 - 2100)
Kresneo was divided into many provinces due to the constant occupation from other nations, and the Keresniye began to be used to occupation, however this wouldn't take much after the Late Middle Ages.

A tribal raid happened on the Kresneo region, destroying every city except for the then fortified Vitvetum and Yanudsun.

The Keresniye renamed Yanudsun into Yanodse. Vitvetum is the unofficial name for Wiswethers city.

Early and High Modernity and Independence of Kresneo (2100 - 4061)
During this era, Keresniye Nationalism has been rising in the Kresnean region, along with the rising of Nordt in the Noorden region aswell, however, the Keresniye Nationalism won over, and in 4061, Oratios Maennfeti was proclaimed King of the Keresniye, and King of the Serene Kingdom of Kresneo.

Kresneukomissariat Südnabrimann
The Kresnean Commissariat of South Nabrima is an autonomous vassal of the Serene Kingdom of Kresneo, made as part of the Kresneo-Nabriman alliance to bring Nabrima back to the Dalesian planet, which brought controversy between Kresneo and Delphinax. The capital of KK Südnabrimann is located on modern-day Pancakia, which was renamed by the Kresnean officials to Pannqaekia. The territory is located on the Mitonton river, barely bordering the Sovan protectorate of Asakiri, Ixtalore-Lutosia and the Vitaen Protectorate of Liberty.

This Commissariat is meant to be temporary, meaning that KK Südnabrimann will exist until Nabrima gets their determined territories.

Einheitsprotektorat Regenstadien
The Unitary Protectorate of Regenstadia is a colony and protectorate of Kresneo, recently formed with Streocor giving up the province to the kingdom. Once named Colony of Altakrassya, this lost colony merged with the state of Regenstadia. This protectorate is located in the coasts of the West Sea, and borders Wanzei, and close to the Leford river. The protectorate was formed due to the abdication of the President of Regenstadia, the integration of Regenstadia into the Streocoran "Republikspakt", and the purchase of the province by the Kresnean officials.

Other than that, Regenstadien has proven to be useless, until the king decided to start a plan to unificate the southern part of the Noorden region of Dalesia.

Südpeninsularis Kolonien
The Colony of Südpeninsularis is a territory controlled by Kresneo in the Noorden Sea, once disputed between Nordt (Modern-day Norte, Ixtalore-Lutosia) and Zenatorium.

The colony was created with the purpose of nationalizing the river in it, the Penkburgh River, and extracting the minerals from the place.

Südpeninsularis is located in the Gulf of Tranquility, bordering Streocor and Zenatorium in the Penkburgh River.

Plans of connecting Südpeninsularis with Metropolitan Kresneo failed with the arrival of Nordt into the region, blocking the land, and after its collapse, new countries took over it, making it impossible to connect it once again.

Kresnean-Zenatorian territorial conflict
In September 17th, 4061, just 12 days before Kresneo was formed and considered a kingdom, Kresneo was gifted money from different nations to expand and block the borders of Red Star, Zenatorium and Amadh, failing on blocking Hennecartian Noord.

The king back then, King Oratios, had ordered the extraction of the rich minerals in the region and the refilling of those mined caves and holes, however this made the Zenatorian government worry and ordered the mobilization of their troops and the retreat of the Kresnean military and miners in the zone.

King Oratios answered the Zenatorian government, asking peacefully how to solve the situation, in which meant the total withdrawal of the Kresnean units from the border.

The king ordered the withdrawal of his units from the region, some going up north, and Kresneo decided to keep the Penkburgh river, which led to the formation of the Colony of Südpeninsularis.

With the total withdrawal of the Kresnean men and miners in the area, Kresneo losed half of its land (late 4061 borders) and the idea of potential cities in the zone, however with the developed mining the Kresneans have been implementing before the acquisition of said lands, more than 92% of the resources in the land have been extracted and was inverted into the government's budget, increasing the Kresnean economy and helping another economical miracle grow.
