Norlund: Difference between revisions

A little while before the founding of Yoslan, in January 2020, the settlement of Talamh was founded by former Wheatistanis. Under a tribal structure, Talamh managed the farms around Lake Vatican, and made a small hamlet for themselves. However, the reason they had migrated to the region was to reclaim what they claimed was their ancient homeland. The citizenry of Talamh began an insurrection, the only case of an active rebellion within Norlund. The uprising was quickly put down, and the tribal inhabitants left for the IWW. In late January, Pope Leobonet founded the Vatican City on the island within the namesake lake, and in Early February, Talamh was refounded as Tallum, and was quickly modernized and converted to Norlish architecture by Knoxmore, who would later become the only Prime Minister who was a non-Kanninite.

Over the next month, citizens from all over Norlund worked tirelessly through the Constitutional Assembly to draft a new Constitution for Norlund. On May 18th, 2020 a new constitutionConstitution was finally posted to Reddit and the Kingdom of Norlund was reborn again.

In early June 2020, there was a minor dispute between player Raine and the Norlundic government has occurred. RainofPain125 was a highly controversial figure in Norlund, with him being almost unanimously detested, but his right to remain in Norlund was being defended nonetheless. InAn aincident highlyhad controversial incidentoccurred, in which the facts are still not clear,where RainofPain invited King Shamus to his settlement of Paris, and Shamus pearled Raine following an argument between the two involved parties, Shamus pearled Raine. Shamus and his Ansgar Vikings would claim that the pearling was due to RainofPain threatening bounties upon the Norlundic GovernmentShamus, while other Norlund citizens would claim that Shamus pearled Rain to cash in on a bounty or just to remove thehim nuisancefrom thatthe was Raincountry. While most people considered Raine to be a gaslighter and have perceived the pearling as something positive, the pearling of a Norlundic citizen by the King extrajudicially without any repercussions would create a dangerous precedent. As a result, charges were pressed against Shamus, which has led to him deciding to push towards Ansgar's secession.

On June 4th, in response to the controversy of the Rain Incident; the canton of Ansgar seceded, claiming with it many other lands of Norlund, including the capital, as well as seizing the national namelayers, with which Shamus was entrusted as Monarch. Norlund, seeking to avoid a civil war, allowed Ansgar to secede, but resented their claiming of other Cantons (Especially NorlundKannin). Ansgar claimed it was their (often disrespected) work that built a significant portion of Kannin, and Norlund claimed as Kannin is the birthplace and heart of Norlund, they deserved to continue to hold it. The former King Shamus quickly defected to Ansgard and Norlund was once again left without a king. Agreeing at this point that no monarchy would capture the glory of the golden reign of King Terry, Norlund abolished the throne. And so it was like this; with Civil War brewing andWith the nation on the verge of collapse, thatthe theshort-lived Republic of Norlund was born.
