Fleden, officially The Kingdom of Fleden, is a Sovereign Democratic Kingdom established in 1231. It is a Sovereign Democracy, yet it still has a king, which they use to interact with other royal families and houses in the region. It is the 5th largest country in europe, and the 13th in the world. Its main export is Caviar. Its main city is Flöplö, located in the south-eastern region of it.
==History==
=== Pre-History===
Fleden's history begins far before any iron age contact can confirm, with historians and archaeologists saying that many Flopdic tribes lived there from 1300 BF to 140 BF (approximately). The Pre-Historic tribes had developed many tools, having (accidentally) invented iron tools via putting animal bones in the forging process. They were able to also reach the northern-most point of the giant peninsula, before colonising the west and eastern areas. At one point in time, a Fledish explorer had sailed to Greenland and Iceland, where multiple colonies were rumored to have been constructed, before sailing to North America, but deciding to sail back to Fleden.
===Written Language and Complex History===
From 135 BF (approximately) onwards, the tribes of Fleden had joined together and formed large clans, and building larger towns and farms near the southern region. In 115 BF, the clans had formed together and formed multiple impressive (yet still simplistic) languages, each one specified to the clan, making large scale communication and trade almost impossible until 93 BF when a simplistic Flopsetta Stone was created for translation purposes. In 87 BF two of the clans had declared war upon each other , which is believed to be caused by one tribe trading poisoned food to the other, killing hundreds. The war lasted from 87 BF to 25 AD, in which almost all other clans merged once again to form (even) larger "houses". After the (aformentioned) clan war, the previous clans had accidentally,according to a historian, "exited the gene pool".
===Unification and The Siege of Castle Grey-Flop===
In the Fall of 1134, Jarl Sögborg Valflop had invited the other Jarls to his keep in North-East Fleden, for a meeting on the topic of The True Unification of the Fledish Jarls and houses, to make a "kingdom" of sorts; and to capitalize on the growing fish trade. Many of the Jarls had agreed to the unification of the houses, with only Jarl Joseph Soggöl of House Grey-Flop having disagreed, having said "A unified Fleden is a doomed Fleden" facing backlash from the unified houses and Jarls. In 1142, the other Jarls had created a plan to kill Jarl Soggbörg at a upcoming party he would be hosting near new-years day. The plan was that Jarl Joseph would host the party, and one of the houses would infiltrate the kitchen to poison the food, and another would unlock the gates of Castle Grey-Flop to allow Jarl Sögborg inside with his army to kill Jarl Joseph and the rest of house Grey-Flop, allowing the other houses to unify themselves. In the winter of 1143, Jarl Joseph hosted a party to the rest of house Grey-Flop, at his castle of the same name. Near dawn, when the guests and Jarl Joseph himself were drunk beyond compare, one of the houses snuck into the kitchen via the towers, and poisoned the food and mead being prepared for the party, ensuring that the targets would be too weak to fight, while another opened the gates of Castle Grey-Flop to Jarl Sögborg and his army. At 1:32 in the morning, Jarl Sögborg's army forced their way inside and began killing the guards on the outskirts of the party, as well as the staff inside. Eventually, the guests and Jarl Joseph were completely defenseless, and the army began killing the guests before Jarl Sögborg made his way to Jarl Joseph, and killed him with a swift down-wards slash with a longsword, splitting Joseph in half. With Jarl Joseph dead, the remaining houses were able to unify themselves, and the Kingdom of Fleden was created in the summer of 1145.
===Sogtish Colonization and The Fledish Empire===
In the 1500's, Great Sogtain had sent explorers to mainland-Europe to explore, and happened to stumble upon Fleden. After the "discovery" of Fleden, Queen Floplizabeth l sent soldiers and colonists to Fleden in a attempt to "test the waters of the new land" and see if it was viable for conquering. The first colony was built in 1518 and was immediately destroyed by King Sögborg Vll and his army, leading to the Queen of Great Sogtain sending a full army to make negotiations with King Sögborg Vll. The negotiations were made in 1562, and were essentially, a contract stating that Great Sogtain had full ownership of Fleden, The Fledish King, and the people within, and if the rule of Great Sogtain was questioned, full authority to kill, maim, or torture the suspect in question. To combat this dystopian rule of his people, King Sögborg Vll used his remaining power over Fleden to establish a government separate from Sogtish government, then called The Fledish Empire. In 1572, The Empire had a extreme conflict with Great Sogtain in the Fledish alps near the City of Sogneva. The battle of Sogneva lasted 3 months with a body count of 15,000 Fledish soldiers, and 31,736 Sogtish Soldiers, giving the Fledish Empire enough power to kick Great Sogtain out of Fleden, but the Empire remained, with the kingdom as a secondary government, and building the capital city of Flöplö.
===1900's and "The Battle of Flöplö"===

Category:Tunaboi09
In the early 1900's, Fleden began slowly moving away from it's more traditional customs and traditions, especially in the capital of Flöplö. This led to many conservative citizens calling for the deporting of the president, and that King Sögbörg Xll be given full rule of the country, Along with this need to return to royalism, many also began worshiping King Sögbörg Vll as a martyr. In response to this "martyrdom of the king" the Fledish government decided to attempt to establish that the royalty of Fleden was simply just a communication tool, and not a "Family of Martyrs, killed by the hands of the world". In 1921, a pro-royalism, conservative, pro-segregation via ancestry newspaper titled "The Fledish Crowns" began spreading propaganda relating to overthrowing the government and re-establishing the royalty as the ruling class. The propaganda eventually caused one of the worst mass killings since the siege of Castle Grey-Flop. In 1923, a Fledish, pro-royalism radical went into a floppism-church and detonated a suicide-vest, killing everybody inside, and destroying a resturaunt next door, killing 3 people inside. At the bomber's house, the police found multiple journals and notes explaining how the bomber felt they had to do it, to prove their allegiance to the royal family, and a call for others to do the same. Somehow, the notes were released to the public, kickstarting the The Battle of Flöplö. The Battle of Flöplö was a almost year long conflict that took place from 1924 to 1925 in the Capital city of Flöplö. It was perpetrated by almost all royalists in Flöplö, as they bombed, raided, had gunfights, and killed citizens in the capital of Flöplö. It was also funded and supported by a royal-family devoted death-cult, who believed death was the only way to appease the king. It was put to an end in 1925 when the UN provided weaponry and chemical weapons to the Fledish government, and all royalists were either killed in the battle, or arrested following. The rebuilding of Flöplö took 3 years, in which former citizens were moved to the neighboring city of Soggholm.
=== Modern Era and the Caviar Scandals ===
In the modern era, Fleden (and it's government) has been the subject of many scandals on the topic of the imports and exports of caviar and other fish by-products, by artificially increasing prices and (the government) buying out and shutting down caviar companies which they did not favor; claiming "unsafe working conditions" caused the closing. This led to a economic crash in the Soggland region, which is responsible for the growing,production,shipping,and packaging of caviar.
== Geography ==
=== Climate ===
Situated in a western peninsula in northern Europe, Fleden is (obvisously) very cold, especially near the coast of Flöplö, which has waters which reach frigid temperatures of 34 °F (1.1111 °C) at it's Hottest, and Temperatures of 41 °F (5°C) at it's hottest. However, the sea also contains historic shipwrecks and is home to the Flöplö Sturgeon, which is known for the caviar it produces. On the mainland, almost nothing changes temperature-wise, but there is often large amount of snow and slurry to the north, and as you go further south, more rain and fog. Near the south-eastern portions of it, Fleden is known for a phenomenon in which A Lake at the base of a Mountain which holds Castle Grey-Flop. The phenomenon happens monthly at around 5:35 AM (0335 Military Time), when it happens, the lake bed almost completely sinks into a deep mud-bed almost 125 Feet beneath the (Normal) surface of the lake. When this happens, Catfish and other mud-dwelling bottom feeders begin surfacing to the top of the mud, and begin "walking" while searching for food. Native people (or their descendants) have began creating rituals around this, in which a member of the tribe (who has been training for the moment) descends to the very bottom of the mud-bed, which is even farther down beneath the surface, in almost complete darkness, to plant a spear.
