After the Brazilian War of Independence (1825), many Serbs immigrated to the northern areas of the new country in hopes of a brighter future. They were readily accepted to Brazil but there were several conditions; they were to convert from Serbian Orthodox to Roman Catholicism. The Serbs accepted but secretly practiced under Orthodox tradition. Many were not happy with the opposition to the Serbs religion but they wanted refuge in this newly founded land.
With the arrival of the Serbs, started the beginning of the lucrative lumber business due to the vast amount of forest in northern South America. They paid the Brazilian government more than half of their earnings in exchange for returned rights to practice their religion.
The Serbs intermarried heavily with the Portuguese; they also intermarried with the Spanish, French, British and Dutch of the surrounding areas. These marriages led to the use of Serbian alongside many other languages. The children of these Serb and Western European couplings often spoke Serbian at home and in the streets but Portuguese, French, English or Dutch in their professional and academic lives.
In 1888, Brazil abolished slavery and with this came the arrival of many Yoruba, Zulu and Swahili from Africa. They arrived as free blacks and were easily accepted into the Serbs communities. This was followed by the intermarriage between Africans and the Creoles of Serb, Portuguese, French, British and Dutch descent. Soon the colony had more Africans than Europeans. With the arrival of the Africans came the idea of an independent nation which represented the new emerging race. During this time, a large influx of German, Italian and Arab immigrants came for work in the lumber mills. This added to the ethnic and cultural mixture of the developing people.
In the early 20th century, Japanese and Korean workers immigrated to the area for the chance to work in the very successful Serbo-Brazilian lumber business. Unlike the Africans and Arabs, who were reluctant to accept the Serbs Orthodox Christianity, the Japanese and Koreans readily accepted and converted immediately. However, many elements of the Buddhist, Shinto and Confucian religious practices were incorporated into several practices of the Orthodox Church in South America. The acceptance of the native religion made it very easy for the Japanese and Koreans to also intermarry with the African-Creoles.
The end of World War II led to very revolutionary ideas among the new peoples who referred to themselves as Сербињаскији Serbinjaskiji (Serbinian), a Serbian demonym of the Serbo-Brazilian lumber region of Србиња Srbinја (from Sérvinha, Portuguese for Little Serbia). Their language, like their culture, was a unique blend of the languages of their ancestors.
- Portuguese - most of the Serbinian general nouns are mostly direct derivatives of their Portuguese counterparts.
- Italian - most words related to food, drink and the culinary arts are derived from Italian.
- Spanish - another massive influence of general nouns to the Serbinian language.
- Hebrew - religious terms are usually of Hebrew descent.
- Korean - terms of Korean descent are usually associated with time.
- Zulu/Yoruba - these languages are the main source of nouns associated with geography.
- Swahili - words of Swahili descent are nouns dealing with water and other nautical things.
- French - French words are usually dealing with architecture.
- Arabic - legal and governmental terms are derived from Arabic.
- German - German is the source of Serbinian verbs, all verbs come from this source.
- Japanese - Japanese is unique in its influence of Serbinian because instead of adding full words, only affixes and particles are used. These are for honorifics.
The Serbinians, through a cultural census, discovered that they were the majority in a few countries. This was the spark that generated the Serbinian Revolution. Serbinians believed that they were numerous and prosperous enough to sustain themselves with their own country. The Serbinian Revolution began in 1950 and ending in 1960 with the formation of Serbinia in the lands which comprised the North and Northeast Regions of Brazil. The following year the Republic of Bolivaria was formed after the Serbinians of Venezuela gained independence. In 1966, British Guiana (Guyana) was given independence from the United Kingdom and it became the Republic of Gijana. It wasn't until 1975 that another Serbinian nation was granted independence. The Republic of Surinam was founded after the independence of Dutch Guiana from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The last Serbinian nation to gain independence was the Republic of Inini, founded in 1977 from the French oversees territory of French Guiana.
While the independence of the Serbinian Republics were great for ethnic, national and cultural morale, economically and politically, the nations were in turmoil. The only republic with a decent and stable economy was Serbinia due to its lumber business and massive resource of forest. This led to the idea of equal social and economic rights through unification of the Serbinian Republics. From 23 July to 5 August of 1980, the Summit Conference of Caracas was held in the Republic of Bolivaria. This conference was a set of meeting between the heads of state and government of the Serbinian Republics, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina and representatives from France, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and the UK. These talks were followed by the Treaty of Creation and the Declaration of Creation of the Federal Union of Serbinian Republics. The treaty came into affect on 24 January 1981; on the same day, the FUSR was officially created. This made the five nations members of a single, unified supernation with the capital of Novigrad as the the capital and seat of government.
