Modern-day
Fluffiness has been founded around November 2017, succeeding the
Democratic Socialist Republic of Fluffiness, which had been established in the end of the XIX
th century.
First traces of humans date back from Paleolithic. The first
People came from the east, following the coast. They first settled in the south-east coast, before spreading along the coast, and south of the Suwari desert to the Nothapp Mountains. Several caves in these mountains have been painted from then to the early Neolithic. Before the Neolithic, the few traces showing signs of settlements in the northern parts of Fluffiness suggest only seasonal camps during summer. This continued in the Neolithic, until the early Bronze Age, when several settlements were created in the Whimsea Mountains. They flourished by trading bronze, and then iron, gold and other minerals until modern day.
As the Bronze age began, the first "civilizations" appeared in the south-east, when several towns allied themselves. The first writings we have in Fluffiness come from this
Culture. (Writing itself came from abroad.) This is currently called the
Nothwene Culture, as the first ruins of such a city was found in the Nothwene region. Pottery were widespread, differing in style in the different
Regions of Fluffiness. During this period, a
Climate change made the Suwari desert to temporarily be replaced by plains and clump of trees. Several predators, now extinct, lived in this
Environment. Even though these plains weren't very fertile, small villages grew in the Suwari.
Trade was established between the Whimsea Mountains and the south coast not only west of the Nothapp range, but also through the Suwari. The city of Atray on the coast of the Suwari became a
Trade hub and evolved through centuries. However, wealthy as it was, many other cities viewed it with envy.
At the dawn of the Iron age, as the Suwari began to dry, Atray faced several huge food shortages. The nomadic Xianlo, coming from the East, destroyed the city before continuing south. They subsequently founded the city of Xianze, one of the oldest city of Fluffiness still inhabited (although almost no buildings from this period still remain). A small fraction of the Xianlo settled in the Suwari, where they still live a nomadic life.
In May 2018, relation with
Amerion were tense, after members of
Rep. Murlow's family were abducted and murdered by special forces from this country.
In 2019, Fluffiness began to draw more ties with
Lazarus countries, for instance endorsing about a hundred of them. In June 2019, the railroad from
Guiness Freaks to
Fluffiness, passing through
Loftegen 2 (now
Loftegen 3) was completed in a matter of seconds, thanks to Lady Zaharra. It is said that the following night was the drunkest night in Fluffiness ever.

Since the founding of Fluffiness, this country has mostly (except at the very beginning) resided in
Lazarus. Fluffiness started under the delegacy of
Imkiville and continued to alternate between existing and ceasing to exist under the delegacy of
Treadwellia. Fluffiness got accepted to Shareholder status (citizenship) on 2021-10-21. It then went on to be among the first members of the
Lazarene Card Guild, and was part of the early wave of stockholders on the
Lazarus Stock Ownership Game organized by
-Deadeye Jack.
N-Day 2022
In September 2022, a regional communiqué advised all
Nations of heightened nuclear tensions. Fluffiness began preparing stocks of shields and nuclear missiles, and joined the Anime
Nations Against Liberalism. The first target was the
Fascist Solidarity Axis, which was swiftly obliterated, although it must be noted that a technician mistakenly launched anti-missile defence to protect one of the fascists. Yet, our defense forces promptly corrected the error. Fluffiness' next target was
Gimme That Dáxlamic Airdrop: No Backsies, which had fired on a number of A.N.A.L.
Nations. Our missiles gloriously passed their defences. Fluffiness' army took some time to reorganize its army, during which the
Horsemen of the Apocalypse were fired upon by other factions, after which A.N.A.L. entered an alliance with them. Once Fluffiness defenses were back at full power, we undertook a campaign against
Potato Alliance and
CARD, alternating between missile strikes and defence of H.o.t.A. and A.N.A.L.
Fluffiness maintains a small army. Its primary use is to defend the country against aggressions. However, it is mostly engaged in provided relief during emergencies, or sending humanitarian
Help abroad.
The most recent offensive operation, 'Operation Enduring Democracy' aimed at fighting back a former General from Fluffiness, Anakin Starkey, who conducted a coup in a neighbouring nation.
