**Ellester** (Russian: Эллестер, Ukrainian: Еллестер) is the executive capital of [Lucelia](https://portal.projectcitybuild.com/books/nations-of-115/page/federal-republic-of-lucelia) and the capital of the Internal Republic of Ellester. The city is located in the middle of the Ellester Capital District bordering the San Luis Sea. It has a population of 89,796 in the City District but 342,692 in the urban area. Ellester is a city home to finance hubs, hotel's and plaza's. Ellester is colloquially referred to as The City With A Slavic Soul because of the Slavic heritage that the city has and the large number of Russians and Ukrainians who live in Ellester.  
  
The indigenous Gathawk population has lived in this area since 7000 B.C.E. In the freezing temperatures, the Gathawk were great hunters since farming did not work well. After Russian explorers had established a new settlement on the new El'novka colony in 1669 it became an official colony of the Tsardom of Russia and was an important trading post for wood, nickel and cobalt. In the 1700s the Ukrainian population began immigrating to the colony through multiple ports like the Hamburg port and Saint-Petersburg. This went on for a long time.   
  
In 1811 the British found the same area and established a settlement in the current Ezhnovskaja Oblast called Ashbourne and enslaved and murdered the local Indigenous populations. The British wanted to take El'novka over in 1826 and the colony was not happy with it. This year is the beginning of the Anglo-Slavic war which ended in 1842. The Slavic population won and the slaves were freed in 1833. After the Anglo-Slavic war, a lot of British immigrants began living on the settlement and later the Irish. The Russian Empire gave up the colony and El'novka was independent of Russia. El'novka became a finance hub in the 1910s and became popular for its hotel's and plaza's. While neutral in WW1 the El'novkan government was on the allies side in WW2. The government let American and British soldiers stationed in the city. In 1949, Ellester became a puppet state of the Soviet Union and later the Cascadians took over in 1979. Later, Ellester got independence 2023 and joined the United Republic in 2024 but later joined Havana with a new country named Lucelia.  
  
Ellester is famous for their retro 1910s and 1930s plaza's, finance hubs, hotels and colorful Russian and Ukrainian architecture. Ellester is the San Luis capital of hotels. Most tourists visit the spruce forests, plaza's and museum's.

#### **<span class="mw-headline" id="bkmrk-history-0">Etymology  
</span>**

Ellester comes from the older Russian *Ельновка (El'novka)* which indirectly means "new village". El'novka is still used today by the Russian and Ukrainian population. Ellester comes from British and American WW2 soldiers who misinterpreted the word and said Ellester instead. After the war most of the English population in El'novka began using the word Ellester instead and silently, the town's name changed from El'novka to Ellester. The name Ellester is also used for the name of the former country and for the now Internal Republic.

#### **<span class="mw-headline" id="bkmrk-history-2">History</span>**

##### **Early history (7000 B.C.E-1669)** 

The nowadays Ellester area saw its first human settlers around 7000 B.C.E. and 6000 B.C.E. These settlers traversed large distances and survived on fish, caribou and moose. The cold subarctic climate in the area made surviving hard. The first settlers started wearing anorak-like leather jackets. Archaeological sites have found different tools like axes and sticks.  
  
The earliest human tribe that have settled in the area were the Gathawks. A tribe speaking an Iroquois language called Gathawkian. The Gathawks are known for their countless hunting techniques. Around 1000 B.C.E. farming was introduced. Farming was not doing well especially in the freezing temperatures. That's why the population stuck with hunting. The Gathawk diet was mostly reliable on fish and meat. Around 200 CE. the local Gathawk population was also trading with other folks. Trading with axes, arrows and knifes.  
  
In the 1100s different burial mounds have been made next to Mount Ellester. Different other tribes like the Western Ajudigioux have met some of the Gathawk population. Most of the tribes weren't enemies and trade was going on for thousands of years.

##### **European discovery (1669-1800)** 

On September 11th 1669 a Russian crew departed from Saint Petersburg with 1 large carrack and 3 smaller caravels. The Russian Tsar Alexei had sent a team of explorers to the San Luis Sea as the tsar heard about the English, Dutch and Spanish exploration. The explorers were Pyotr Poyarkov, Vasily Ermakov and Nikolay Semetov. When the ship had arrived at noon, the first explorer to set foot on the newly explored was Vasily Ermakov. When the explorers walked on the new land it was described as "a cold climate". Poyarkov's journal entry states:   
When we stepped foot on the new land we saw a crowd of brown moose or caribou familiar of those at home." When the explorers traversed the area, they found a small settlement on the back of the mountain inhabited by the Gathawk. The village was called "Anenha’tiri’inyhotakwa" which means: "the place behind the snow mountain". Poyarkov's journal entry states:

> On the land we found a small settlement with small and round houses made of wooden branches. The Indians inhabited this village. A tall man with long hair and feathers on his head approached us and smilingly talked to us in his language. We think he called himself or someone "Kathook". He offered us food which we thankfully accepted. It was a tasty fish. We made peace and we let them live peacefully.

  
The Russians built their settlement right on the coast and made a city wall stretching from the mountain to the northwest of the peninsula. The Russians named the settlement "El'novka" and the port "El'novka-Dostov". The Russians made several wooden houses on the west for the immigrants and colorful Russian buildings on the coast with an Orthodox church, and a trading post. With a square in the middle, the settlement was made quick. The Russians profited with wood, nickel and cobalt. The population of the settlement in 1700 was more then a thousand inhabitants. El'novka was now a colony of the Tsardom of Russia. The first monarch for the colony was Tsar Alexei. The main square was named Tsar Alexei Square. The only and first colony had a colony governor. The Gathawk village was located behind Mount Ellester and still exists to this day. The colony administration had peaceful relations with the Indigenous population. In 1703 the first contact was made with Spanish colonists in Afton, Durbania what was then named Saldaña. The Spanish and Russsians have had a treaty signed in 1704 named the Treaty of Saldaña. The treaty contained that the 2 countries would have free trade and peace. In the treaty a clear border was signed between the 2 colonies. In 1721 the Russian Empire was founded by Peter the Great and the new flag rose in the colony. Around 1730, different Russian explorers had settled locations in nowadays Zhukovgorod, Matvijburh, Valentijna and Novovladimirsk. In 1741 the colony was as big as modern day Ellester.  
  
In 1743, the first Ukrainian governor was elected by Tsarina Elizabeth, Nykolai Demchenko. Demchenko was in favor of making Ukrainian on of the official languages however, this plan was rejected by Tsarina Elizabeth. Demchenko was furious. Demchenko did let several Ukrainian immigrants move to the Russian colony. In 1750 around 12% of the El'novkian population was of Ukrainian descent. In 1758 a new fortress was being build north of the wall. The fortress was ordered by new colony governor Georgy Smirnov. Smirnov was very protective and ordered more spending on gunpowder for ammunition and more money for army's. The fortress was named Fort Novgorod. In 1765 the colony expanded and a large wall was build from the Gathawk village to the current Durban border area. The Indigenous people were forced to move their settlement to Eznovka. Indigenous women would intermix with Russian men. The Gathawk women would integrate into the colony and would start a family. The children of the Russian men and Gathawk women were named "Kreoly". The colony authorities actually recommended the new European-Indigenous intermix. Kreoly's made 7% of the colony in the 1780 census. In 1794, the colony governor Vasily Chicherin had expanded Ellester's settlement outside of the walls, making farmland there. Farms were build with cattle's grazing on the land, while other farms grew potato's.
