Freelands: Difference between revisions

Freelands tracestraced its history back to bushycraftbt99, who traveled across the ocean to settle the area in hopes of establishing a free and democratic country. Problems soon arose when he stole a bed and broke into a factory in Fredricksland[[Fredericksland]] to gather materials and learn how they set up their industrial base. Hostilities grew when other nations in the region falsely believed he was responsible for a string of robberies that happened over the course of a month. After almost being pearled when returning some of the stolen goods, Prince Hroerek determined that bushycraftbt99 was not the serial robber and tensions eased over the following days.

Although the retaining wall on the cliffs was being built during the hostilities, it wasn't until the hostilities eased that Fort Liberty built its first homes and government buildings. These new buildings were a great improvement compared to the poorly fortified bunker and mine-shaft that had kept the settlers safe in the beginning. Soon after these buildings were finished, a terrace farm was build into the hillside and a dock was constructed for visitors and residents.

Freelands iswas situated in the northeast section of [[Entranan Republic|Entranan]] territory near the city of Fredricksland[[Fredericksland|Fredericksland in [[Pruthenia]]. The southern most border liesof Freelands used to be along the Z: 4565 line and the northernmost border along the Z: 4250. These have since been extended somewhat.

The edges of the province are deforested and heavily disturbed from open pit mining and vault construction by a previous civilization.

Fort Liberty is the only settlement in the nationprovince. It sits beside the ocean on a small plateau which is at the base of multiple large mountains. The sleepy town boasts multiple small homes, a town hall, a factory, a port, and a factoryfew other miscellaneous buildings. An outpost built by JaddyCakez does exist to the north of the town, but its main purpose is to guard the canal and function as a fallback position if the town is attacked. No citizens are permanently stationed there.

The Republic of Freelands has a strong agricultural sector whose main products are apples, sugar, and wheat. The climate limits the growth of other crops and the lack of animals in the area has prevented the production of meat and other animal-related goods except for eggs and chicken. A savanna biome exists near the town, but it is out of the province's control. Nonetheless, a farm has been established there to provide the province with potatoes, pumpkins, and melons.

Mining, as in all other civscivilizations, is the primary industry in the countryprovince. The mining sector of the economy is the backbone of Freelands' industrial base and produces the materials necessary for defense, construction, and economic growth.

The hills of Freelands are dense with vegetation which provide a large amount of oak and birch lumber for the nation. This lumber can then be converted for use in construction/tools, or for making charcoal which powers the factories and smelters of Fort Liberty. Due to a reforestation effort, most lumber is now imported. Approximately 35% of forested lands in Entrana have been destroyed or clear cut.
