The Republic of Rystonia traces its origins to '''December 21, 2022''', when it was founded with the name of '''Harrisia'''. During its early years, the nation remained small and didn't adopt a flag until February 25, 2024.
On April 8, 2024, Harrisia underwent its first major reorganization and was renamed to '''Nikodonia'''. Along with the name change, a new flag was adopted, coat of arms, and civil flag.
Just twenty days later on April 28, 2024, Nikodonia was renamed '''Rystonia''', becoming the official name of the nation. A new national flag and coat of arms were introduced, while no new civil flag was created. A new website was also created during this time. During early May 2024, the flag was redesigned twice, with the second redesign becoming the simplified double-headed eagle flag that was used until 2025.
The nation's administrative structure also began to form during this period. In early May 2024, the first three states were established. They were Orystia, Ralo, and New Dominion. Later that year, Orystia and Ralo merged to create the state of Caseton. By July 2024, the nation had 6 states: Caseton, New Dominion, Meridia, Infria, Tenuston, and Septentria.
The country kept growing throughout that year, with the final state established being Tenoma at the end of that year.
Rystonia adopted its first official constitution on January 5, 2025, and was revised a couple times. The modern version of the constitution was ratified on June 25, 2025, but a new version of the constitution may be underway.
The flag of Rystonia changed once more on March 3rd, 2025. A new version of the anthem was also created.
On November 25th, 2025, the first Great Seal was created for Rystonia to ratify documents and media.
In late June 2026, the website was revised and got the domain '''rystonia.org'''. We also officially changed to an Imperiocracy, and the great seal was changed to fit the name change.
