At independence in 289 ME, Gostiria was chartered as one of the original states of the League, with Saindo as its capital. Between about 290 and 340 ME the [[Tuzquão]] conquered the lowlands and displaced the [[Mifajene]]. Settlement then spread east and inland: [[Zol]] was founded in 318 ME and [[Mau]] in 352 ME.

Saindo's small island harbor could not serve the growing trade of the coast, and in 371 ME the capital was moved to Lusbá, on [[Vota Bay]]. Railways were built in the 9th century ME: the line between [[Têr]] and Tabe opened in 861 ME, the coastal line reached Lusbá in 874 ME and Zol in 882 ME, and the line from Vota Bay to [[Arremíria]] in [[Gurverde]] opened in 889 ME.

|Geography=Gostiria covers 68,207 mi² (176,655 km²). Most of it lies in the [[Western Lowlands]], and its northeast rises into the forests of the [[Eastern Highlands]]. It borders [[Ivaiê]] to the west along the western channel of the Diate, Gurverde to the north, and [[Khamria]] to the east across the [[Mazissage Mountains]]. The northern border runs from the Diate near [[Figo]] across Lake Bata at Mau, through the [[Sirilquito Hills]] and across [[Lake Arrerem]], then follows the Nagua River to the mountains.
