Pre-Colonial History


Recent evidence shows early Mayan settlement as early as BC 100, However it is thought that it would have only had numbered a few residents. Most official sources say that a small town had been developed after settlement known as Chovenchia in the Inca Empire. Chovenchia translated to 'city of no swag'. Because of this, King Habooza Schmooza visited and gave the people hope and money. The town was then established in 1490 as Chovemshia, meaning 'city of many swag'. It contained many impressive landmarks and became the fourth city state of the Inca Empire.

Colonial History
It didn't take long for the dam Spaniards to find out, and soon enough they made everyone contract Smallpox and they all bloody died (except the Spaniards). They looted all the gold and silver then left, telling all the other Europeans about so another wave of the stupid cretins like the Frenchies and the Brits came and took a poop on the place. Past travellers describe only ruins. Eventually, the British Army settled there in 1829 and made a large camp with some houses and a farm. This caused irreversible damage to the ruins. The Spanish Empire then occupied everywhere else in the area, surrounding what was by then being called L'Manburg.

Tensions were very high with between the British and the Spanish. This was heightened in 1834, when the Spanish detonated a chain of explosives in L'Manburg territory. The Commander-in-Chief of the Didgeridoo Garrison, Thomas Ennit, Pressed for war whereas the Governor, William Gold, tried to solve the situation diplomaticly. The British Empire then backed Innit and Started a major offensive to Le Manneapolis, the Spanish Capital. It was taken with tough resistance and the Spanish left the area. The British granted the country independence after an armed standoff (between some British generals and Gold and Innit) in 1835, the reason for this remains unknown. This resulted in all of the surrounding area for hundreds of miles being unified with L'Manburg, Becoming known as the country it is today.



Didgeridoo mainly grew from Soldiers bringing their families with them. As such, many more utilities were constructed. City Hall was constructed in 1884 and a courthouse in 1902. The Schelwrylleschechan Trust & Co. Bank opened in 1879 by Lord Schelwrylleschan. Their descendants continue to monopolise banking in the city today. The city suffered a major earthquake in 1873 destroying many ruins of Chovemshia and burring some in earth. Two people were killed in the earthquake.

Modern History


In 1916, amidst the First World War, The capital was changed from the Le Manneopolis to L'Manburg for security reasons. This was intended to be temporary at first, but was kept permanently and a new Capitol building was built, called the Crackin Capitol. Since its completion in 1921, it has been the city's largest building by surface area. The development of the building the surrounding 'Governement District' was controversial due to the large amounts of historical buildings that were cleared for its construction. During the Second World War, the city had air raid shelters and sirens installed, along with anti aircraft guns. Luckily, no bombs were ever dropped on L'Manburg soil.

The first 12 Stations of the metro were installed in 1965, nearly becoming a victim of the economic and political instability of the mid-1960s to late 70s. After the election of Evo Castro in 1976, Widespread anti-socialist protests erupted, eventually leading to riots lead by the CIA-backed Alternative Party. Castro quickly denounced them and deemed them 'spreaders of McCarthyism', but refused large-scale crackdown. During the Mandemville Emergency of 1978, Didgeridoo went on Lockdown and was guarded by the Capital Guard, Numbering about 2,150 soldiers.

After 2 assassination attempts on Castro's life on the 14th May 1979, Martial law was declared and the Gendarmerie attempted to find Alternative Party leader John Cashew. Following an incident where the 102st Rapid Response Regiment mutineed in front of Castro outside of the Presidential Residence, Castro took shelter in the classified Military Intelligence Bureau Headquarters. He surrendered and handed his presidency to Cashew after the rebels besieged the building on May 17th. These events became known as the Purple Coup (due to the colours commonly used by the Alternatives) or the May Coup.



The Capital was controlled by Cashew and his forces for the following 3 weeks, until he was removed from office by a Soviet backed 'retrieval of democracy' force comprising of Military and Police units which refused to mutiny in May. There were causalities, as not many were willing to die for Cashew and his supporters quickly became fed up of him. Only one person was killed during the retake, from a Soviet T-72 Tank, which attempted to shoot at a rebel AFV, but missed and struck a column of the Presidential Residence's facade. Debris then fell on top of a mutinous soldier. Cashew ran out of the building shortly afterwards with a white flag.

Cashew and 4 other leaders where given a life sentence. Castro was supposed to be reinstated, but was nowhere to be found. It is commonly believed that Castro was killed by rebel forces during the final stages of the coup. A national election was called and the newly-formed Liberal Party was elected.



The 1989 Traveloge Disaster saw 4 people die after an explosion in the kitchen and a resulting fire that gutted much of the building. In 1991 the city's tallest building, Boulmer Plaza, was completed and opened later in the same year, kickstarting the new Waterwells Central Business District redevelopment around a former industrial area.

During the Arzstotskia War in 1993, the city saw heavy bombardment from Arzstotksian cruise missiles, indiscriminately targeting civilian buildings. Didgeridoo was threatened by a massive paradrop at Tingleville Airstrip in May, but the attack was thwarted. Over 2,350 Didgeri civilians were killed throughout the war.

The City Hall was bombed during renovation in 1996, Injuring one maintenance worker. In 2004, The RBJ Corp Building was bombed Killing 13 people and destroying the entire first floor lobby. The person or persons behind the both bombings are thought to be linked. In the 2011 Mayoral election, Alfie Penrith and Sam Collingbourne were narrowly elected as Mayor and Deputy Mayor (god knows who is who), after the Nazi party had mind-controlled nearly half of the voting population. They have been elected to office in every election since since.

The COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020 First spread to Didgeridoo in April 2020, spreading rapidly from person to person. As of August 18, the virus has slowed down. In total, 12,844 people in the city have contracted it and 1,639 have died of it. the city went into lockdown on July 2 and many restrictions still apply. City official Rigger Bogger Johnson contracted and died of COVID-19 in July 2020. His services were attended to by hundreds were the mayor (or possibly the deputy mayor) Alfie Penrith made a speech. His son Rigger Bogger Johnson jr. took over his position in the company. The lockdowns ended in March 2021.

On October 17, 2021, the city was rocked by a series of coordinated vehicle-borne improvised explosive device attacks, carried out and possibly planned by terrorist BouBou (Whose true identity is unknown). The attacks became known as the 'Day of It All' among locals. 288 people are confirmed to have died, and over 3000 were injured. of these deaths, 269 occurred at Boulmer Plaza, which caught fire and nearly collapsed from two car bombs planted outside. More than £2 billion was spent on reconstruction efforts and a further £800 million spent on strengthening security measures around the city, including the 'concrete pillars' project. Total economic losses are estimated at more than £3.2 billion. Rescue efforts used resources from across the country and also enlisted the help of FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Teams and the Mexican Topos de Tlatelolco.

Future History
On the 12th December 2234, multiple Keplian ships broke through Orbital Defences above South America and descended upon multiple cities in the area. One of the affected places was Bogotá, Colombia, which had an exceptionally small force garrsioned there. The Didgeridoo Brigade was one of the Units dispatched to the city the relieve the overwhelmed local units. Peru took up the responsibility of air defence and successfully thwarted any Keplian attempt at breaking through the air defences. The brigade launched an attack on the suspected Keplian bridgehead at El Dorado International Jumport. The port was taken over with minimal casualties and allowed the larger East flank to attack the main Purens force head on, where, after breif fighting the Purens retreated. The remaining critters where overwhelmed without higher command and attempted to retreat as well.

The swift and relatively bloodless victory was heavily attributed to the Didgeridoo Brigade's actions the Jumport, and many awards were given. It was noted that they had unusual but effective tactics and highly sophisticated equipment, given the low standard for city state militia. They became a common choice for the United Nations Security Council to counter invasion attempts in The Americas.

31 Purens were captured and 1000+ Critters. As per UNSC guidlines, the Purens were held underground and the Critters were exterminated.
