=== The King's Crime ===
In early June 2020, a dispute arose between a controversial player named RainOfPain125 and the Norlish government. Rain had recently been forced out of the IWW after political disputes there resulted in his loss of power. He moved to the far north of Norlund and established a settlement called Paris, following a brief stay in [[YosLan]]. An argument broke out between Rain and King Shamus during a visit, which resulted in the king pearling Rain. The pearling divided the nation as arguments began about whether it was a legal and acceptable action. King Shamus and his supporters claimed that the pearling was due to Raine threatening to bounty the king. His detractors argued that Shamus pearled Rain to collect a bounty issued by another nation or to just simply remove an undesirable player from Norlund. While Rain was widely considered to be a controversial figure, his pearling raised concerns about the legal precedent established by the extrajudicial pearling of Norlish citizens. Charges were eventually pressed against King Shamus for his actions which directly led to the Ansgar Secession.
===The Secession of Ansgar and the Double Claim of Kannin ===
On June 4th, in response to the charges brought against King Shamus during the Rain Incident; his home canton of Ansgar seceded. Along with Ansgar, the rebels also claimed other Norlish territory including the capital in Kannin. Worse still, as former monarch of Norlund, Shamus had been entrusted with many of the kingdom's namelayers. In order to avoid outright civil war, the Norlish government accepted the Ansgar rebellion but resisted attempts to also take Kannin. The Ansgar rebels claimed they had developed a significant amount of Kannin through the efforts of Sirboss and so it was deservedly theirs. The Norlish government held firm that Kannin was both the founding heart and political capital of the nation. After terse negotiations, the rebels agreed to give up their claims on Kannin and return the national namelayers. Following the recent loss of Terry and the struggles of the Ansgar Rebellion, discontent with the monarchy resulted in its temporary abolishment and the establishment of the short lived Republic of Norlund. Ansgar would go on to join the Kingdom of Yggdrasil and remain a point of contention between the two nations for some time.

On August 3, 2020 the SPQR contacted Norlund about exchanging their colonial holdings in return for tin-mining rights in the mainland. Norlund, gratefully signed the treaty that formalized the handover.
However, it soon became apparent that the treaty was not without controversy. The SPQR had decided to leave the new world after a conflict with Synlandia, a region of the [[Imperial Federation (Civ Realms 2.0)|Imperial Federation]]. In order for the Imperial Federation to unpearl SPQR citizens, the SPQR had to leave Kingsluund and hand over their territories to a neutral third party. Since SPQR never specified that the territory should go to an existing new world nation, and following their decision to hand it over to Norlund, the IF expressed their preference it go to a new world nation. Following this dispute, the IF decided to claim over the territory, bastion it, and snitch it. After intervention by prawny331 as requested by the SPQR's NovaCeasar, the IF backed off and allowed Norlund to continue it's colonization efforts<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/i4kh6o/if_apology_post_and_explaining_our_current/</ref>.
On August 6th, 2020, Norlund officially began construction on its first settlement within the territory of New Kannin.

'''Raine -'''
'''Raine -''' The former head of the now defunct Paris Commune, Raine is a figure now agreed upon to be well-disliked in Norlund. While some may disagree with former King Shamus' actions, after the griefing of the Kärme territory to which Raine has discussed his involvement (supposedly gathering the materials for said griefing, but having no knowledge of it, and allowing 'friends' to do such a heinous action, and refusing to play after his 'friends' were banned for such actions), Raine no longer holds any prestige in Norlund, now being collectively agreed upon as a nuisance at best, and a traitor at worst. <ref>[[RainOfPain125#Involvement in the Paris Uprising]]</ref>▼

'''KIng Shamus the First''' - Among one of the most infamous characters in Norlish history, Shamus essentially lead the events to creating the modern day Norlund, and is responsible for the reworking of the court and legal preceding, as well as leading the precedent from seceding the country. While temporarily redeemed during the Great War, his betrayal of LABS essentially led him to being banned not only from Norlund, but his new home of Yggdrasil as well, and saw his canton eventually returned to Norlund proper.
