Kingdom of Newfoundland

== Overview ==
The Kingdom of Newfoundland was the second independent nation to be founded on Polynesia during the First Split. The Kingdom was lead by Belg and Sealand who together constructed the nations capital of New London and ran the states diplomacy during its 3 day length.
== Culture ==
The Kingdom of Newfoundland did not have a seperate or distinct culture to the RoP unlike Scarlithia which was completely culturally separate from more general Polynesian culture. The KNF organised itself to be a constitutional monarchy like the RoP but with a greater emphasis on the monarch giving them extra powers and making them a complete figurehead with them being the leader of the KNFs branch of Polynesian Christianity. The KNF was also a lot more community based economically and stressed the importance of working together to build. Unlike the RoP which was a lot larger, the were a lot less citizens of the KNF so they had to create their city of New London together, The King personally rewarded those who helped build with special titles and gifts to encourage the continuing construction.
Alongside these national values of faith in the monarch and community the state was heavily religious with its devout Polynesian Christianity. For this the state is sometimes seen as a Proto-Kingdom of Albertville which would be formed in 2020 and also lead by Belg during the Second Split. One of the first buildings built in New London was a church and a castle making the defining part of the city the religious aspect. This was very different compared to the popular secularism of the RoP where Religion was not prevalent in its government structure at all.
The Kingdom of Newfoundland consistently publicly denounced the distinctive culture of Scarlithia, Who despite also being a similar small scale new state on Polynesia who was also a Kingdom, Citizens and Government of the Kingdom of Newfoundland viewed Scarlithia as a bigger enemy to them than the RoP itself. Tensions between these two states would continue throughout the entire split with small scale skirmishes occuring during the period at a constant basis as each state tried to one up the other in the size of their cities and their citizen count.
== Population, Demographics and Land Claim ==
=== Population ===
The Kingdom of Newfoundland had a relatively small population compared to the other two states on the server, The RoP had a population of around 40, Scarlithia had around 10 whilst the KNF was unable to must at least 5 at their peaks. This was due to the nations lack of appeal and reasons for its foundation. Whilst Scarlithia had a came about due to the dethroning of popular Queen Zee and the distinct culture between Scarlithia and the RoP which attracted them major support from dissatisfied members of the Polynesian public. Meanwhile the KNF was mainly made up of angry members of the RoPs Monarchist Party who were angry at recent government actions about the monarchy following the Scarlithian declaration of independence. All this limited their citizenship so to combat this the nation would try to reinvent itself as a middle of the road "Both sides are bad nation" this plan did not work and the state would only ever have 4 citizens at its peak.
=== Demographics ===
The Demographics of the Kingdom of Newfoundland never changed during its 3 days of independence. Compared to Scarlithia which saw its nation split when Jam County declared its independence from it on November 4th, The Kingdom of Newfoundland remained a fully Christian state with a centrist membership. In the nations only election there was a 100% victory for the KNF Party which was a localist party under the "guidance" of the former RoP Monarchist Party.
=== Land Claims ===
The Kingdom of Newfoundland was settled in a small plains biome next to a river found by Belg a day prior to start working on his own personal town. However these plans were discarded when they needed to form their new state. The Nation was rushed in its foundation hence the name Newfoundland and the use of the Union Jack as a flag. They originally only claimed a small portion of land but expanded after Belg and Sealand constructed a large road to create their own "parliament street" similar to the main centre road in the city of New Ballville the RoP Capital city. Despite their low population theyre land claims were better used and more built up than Scarlithias. There final land claims before rejoining the RoP were the entire plains biome that Belg had found and a small area of a hilly biome across the river.

=== Formation and Early History ===
At a ROP parliamentary meeting the leader of the Second Jedi party proposed one of the most controversial bills in the history of the server. This was the "Monarchy change Act" The Act Basically said that Queen Zee should step down and allow Sealand to become King. Although controversial the bill managed to get through parliament due to the support from the Social Democratic party. Upon the bills passing, Queen Zee and her husband Tsar went into the Scarlithian base and began to write out a noew infamous document. Meanwhile Prime Minister Wolos denounced the bill and temporarily abolished the monarchy causing Sealand and the Monarchist party to protest this. The movement "#monarchyownsthestreets" this worried the government and lead to the official abolishment of the monarchy, protest turned to violence, and soon Zee and Tsar came out of Scarlithia, and then the announcement came. Scarlithia had declared independence, Jam County and the Scarlithian city were now no longer in the ROP. After this, the monarchy went on the run and founded the Kingdom of Newfounland. 
=== Later History and Reunification ===
The KNF held its first elections as soon as independence began, Sealand became the Prime Minister of the KNF and Belg became King, to the surprise of nobody. The KNF was the first memberstate of the Polynesian union, the ROP would also soon join the union, Scarlithia was split on the issue of the union, Queen Zee rigged a referendum on the topic which led to Tsar forcing her to let them join, After this Jam County seceded from the ROP, Scarlithia and Jam county both became memberstates, After the first PU election a war almost started between the KNF and Scarlithia, although tensions were calmed after the first bill in the Polynesian union parliament - a bill to reunite the nation, passed 10-0. Leading to the reunification, and the end of the KNF.
