Our ancestors used to be dwelling in a glorious kingdom, where people lived happily and in a civilised way. But one day, the evil Barbarians/tyrants came. They ruined our homeland, contaminating its culture and we took refuge in this far away land, and our culture and lifestyle preserves how people in our homeland lived millenia ago.

OTL examples:

(Achtung: all these narratives has been severely politicized, propagated to degrade one nation or to elevate another. They may be true or they may be largely or even entirely untrue. Please do not argue about their OTL accurateness, this is not the point.)

1) Taiwan, true heir of Chinese civilization after the mainland was ruined by the reds

2) The Cantonese, preserving the true Chinese tongue after Manchu Barbarians polluted Mandarin with Manchu words

3) Bali, preserving the pre-Islamic Javanese culture

4) The Parsi, faithful Zoroastrians after Islamic conquest of Iran

5) England, the descendants of 12 tribes of Israel

6) Canada, last vestige of a Royalist North America after being driven out by rapacious Yankee rebels.

Please think of ATL examples of this.
