Line 182:
Norlund started a "levee en masse", urging all able bodied Norls to head to the Northern coast - starting one of the largest ferrying operations on the server. Organized by the king - to make everyone able to get over to heaven, and to save boats, Norls were told to log off at the Northern coast and wait to be ferried by a ferryman/ferrywoman. This operation was a resounding success and everyone participating got over safely.
During the Heaven defence, after fighting side by side with Norlund - the Queen of Yoslan, Antea formally requested to re-join the Kingdom. This was discussed in the House of Commons and ultimately after opinion polls and many discussions got voted through. YosLan later rejoined fully, with half of it's members remaining unable to vote as a compromise for being dual citizens. With it, YosLan brought the northern claim of [[Agotep]] into Norlund claims. Antea, initially unable to vote as apart of the remerger compromise, was later made a full citizen with voting rights. A small part of Agotep was given by Antea to Okx to make his own country, which is widely seen as unrecognized in Norlund due to the eye sore and bordergore it has created on maps. The Okx claim is located on top of a biome anomaly, an unkown remnant from world creation - that changes the biome of the specified area.
=== The Defeat of the USA ===
With the defeat of USA, Norlund was formally granted the Carbon exclave, on which the Tallum-Veria friendship farms are located. Older norlish intel thought that the area was inhabited by a Carbonite forward bunker - hence their claim to the area. This was never investigated as to not sour relations with Carbon, and due to the area being utilized by Norlund regardless. Later the bunker was revealed to be a fabrication as to lay claim the area.
Norls headed home from Heaven and started rebuilding damaged infrastructure, much of which yet again was located in Tallum (like the northern Tallum bridge). Many norls also contributed to the cleanup of Civcorp. The server saw a decline in active players after the war, partly because of the shitters of the USA leaving, and manpower losses on the coalition side as a result from the war. Norlund despite this kept high player counts, and it's during this time that Saint Lucias cathedral in the Vatican (Tallum) was completed and work on Pogwarts, the newfriend university really took off.
=== The CA14 bill and the Tawa bombing ===
The issue of what defines a canton or not has always plauged norlish politics, and bill after bill has been proposed to fix this - none before CA14 being passed. The controversy that surrounds the CA14 bill first stems from that the bill, before being amended and re-proposed, aimed to remove several cantons which had at least one active member, but according to some in the House of Commons shouldnt be allowed to keep their cantonal status. This prompted the great Tawa sign protest, where Tawa partisans protested in Kannin about the bill, wishing for Tawa to remain a canton. Later a Tawa partisan cell was blown up along the southern Kannin cantonal border, making a large crater and prompting an investigation. Who was behind this terrorist action is still widely disputed.
CA14 got passed with a vote one marginal not counting the abstinations according to earlier norlish praxis. The issue of whenever abstinations should count towards the total was raised and initiated the CA14 discussions and court procedure. This also raised the question if earlier legaslation should be rendered void, if said system applies, and if votes regarding constitutional amendments should require 2/3 of the whole population or just the active voters.
During this the monarch, Leobonet I, got sued by Okx due to making the Prime Minister of the 9th cabinet: CuntJesus the electoral chairman. This was ruled as illegal by judge Skinny, but the case is still considered controversial by some due to judge Skinny not actually having been confirmed judge by the House of Commons, as the law requires.

==== Kannin Peninsula ====
Kannin Peninsula is the core of the Canton of Kannin. Home to the majority of businesses, government buildings, and homes, Kannin Peninsula is an urbanite's dream. It has gone under significant renovation, going from an underdeveloped swath of land with only a couple of dwellings, to a multi-layered city center focused on Odilia Square, where prominent buildings such as the Cathedral of Saint Odilia and the Supreme Court of Norlund are centered around. Some notable tourist attractions are the shitter market, church of Saint Odilia, Kannin castle, Pogwarts (the newfriend university) and all kinds of stores selling both local and foreign goods.

=== Buryatia ===
Buryatia is a Canton located on the western coast of Norlund. It has a population of 3 citizens and is centered around the town of Dubrovnik. Due to its rather isolationist nature in the past, it remains unconnected to major federal infrastructure, but that is a subject to change in the close future. It is currently inactive and placed under protection.
=== Drengrfold ===
Drengrfold is the newest Canton in Norlund. Drengrfold is focused on the settlemenst of Port Lokkarme and Gwenyth. With a population of 4 as of the last census, Drengrfold surpasses several of the stagnant cantons, and is looking to be a new center of development. Formed out of the former territory of Northreach (now Midreach), Drengrfold is isolated from the federal infrastructure network, including rail and road. However, this will change once the rail boom reaches Kannin, where a line will then be routed to Port Lokkarme.
YosLan (officially LörYosLan) is a Canton of Norlund, having rejoined Norlund during The [[Great War]] after seceding from Norlund earlier in the year on July 7th. Yoslan got given the lands of Northern Agotep from Carbon due to their participation in the World War. These gains got included into Norlund with the re-joining of YosLan, and some of them have been used to grant land for new towns.
