During the classical era, independent kingdoms became established in what is now Aetolia following the collapse of the ancient empire. The kingdoms of Kavala and Pheres consolidated the Aetolian peoples and languages through a unified Kingdom of Aetolia in the late 3rd century. In the early 4th century the Kingdom was replaced by the First republic. The republic reached the peak of its political and economic strength in the 11th–12th centuries, with vast area of cultural and economic influence. This period was regarded as the first Golden age of Aetolian technology and society. The territorial reach of Aetolia also expanded to cover most of the ???? region, including neighboring Varkana. During this period Aetolia became a dominant regional force. In 1415, the monarchy was restored after 406 years, signalling an era of direct rule which lead to unprecedented territorial and economic expansion. The 18th century was a period marked by political unrest in Aetolia. In 1758, Varkana started a war for independence from Aetolia, the Varkan Restoration War, and formed the First Republic of Varkana in 1760. Successive territorial losses and breaches of power, particularly when the parliament was dissolved by the monarch. These events led to the August Revolution of 1789, when the monarchy was again disposed. The judicial branch of government assumed power, leading the "kritarchic republic" which drafted a new constitution and restructured many institutions of governnment. Symbolic events in this period included the demolition of the Royal Palace in Elaia, and the execution of the royal family. The Second Republic of Aetolia was established in 1794. The new republic became a strongly established parliamentary democracy, leading a period of economic and cultural prosperity after 50 years of war. The new republic was increasingly imperialist, engaging in many colonization wars around Adonia. The colonial empire reached its peak in the 20th century and experienced rapid decline following the independence of NAME 1, NAME 2 and NAME 3. However, the global presence had left a large Aetolian-speaking legacy in several former colonies. In 2000, as part of the Quiet Revolution Aetolia began a transition to a aristocratic communalist system, while still maintaining the traditional state corporatist system.

Aetolia is strategically located in the middle of Western CONTINENT 2 and remains a global power with significant cultural, economic, and political influence in CONTINENT 2 and around Adonia. Aetolia citizens enjoy a high standard of living, and the country performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, civil liberties, and human development.
