History
Oronia was founded sometime after the Reconquista, by some Iberians who would like to have their own state. The name came from the Spanish word for gold: "oro". Back then they just spoke Spanish, but soon they made their own language, but it ended up being too similar to Spanish. pretty much the same thing that happened to Portuguese Oronia became a republic at around 1900. This ended when a guy named Sebastian Ureña took over the state and converted it to his totalitarian dictatorship in June 24, 1926. He oppressed the people of Oronia for "revenge" (talked more about this in Trivia).
