==History==
===Ièqqi people===
The earliest people known to inhabit the Umerg are the Ièqqi people. They are assumed to have arrived to the island before the 13th century near current day Dduqlä, from where they made their way down the Ögczjögby river to lake Zwizúsinniq, where they continued to live. Numerous theories exist as to why they didn't live on larger areas of the island, most of which boil down to the conditions on the shores of Zwizúsinniq being sufficient enough for the community to not bother exploring the island more - the lake has many fish, hills located between the lake and the sea make the conditions significantly milder and the soil surrounding the lake is of good quality.
===Before the 1800s===
===Arrival of the first Kwitzkan people===
In the late 1790s the first Kwitzkan people - mainly Poles espacing the partitions of Poland - arrived in Bayland, and made their way West. Within the next 10 years, the refugees have founded a number of towns, with Poles founding towns along the Qqlät river and in its vicinity, Hungarians in modern-day Magyrfitniq and Russians in northern Kwitzka.
===Bayland independence war===
Main article: Bayland Independence War
In the early 1800s, tensions on Umarg were rising as separatists in eastern Kwitzka started an independence movement. This culminated in the war for Baylandese independence. By 1832, separatists had gathered a large army. These were mobilized in major cities, and a war began. The Baylandese separatists quickly gained control of large parts of eastern Kwitzka. The Lustarnese independence movement joined the war on the side of Bayland, causing Kwitzka to lose most of its territory in the span of 10 months. The war ended on April 30, 1833, with Bayland gaining independence from Kwitzka.
