Flanderia

Flanderia, officially the Jarldom of Flanderia, is a kingdom on the continent of Talasi established by the former government of Vericovia. Flanderia is rich in culture, being comprised of Varicovians, Norvosi, Foxtearins, and Valds. It also serves as a fully autonomous vassal of the Grand Duchy of Iron Rose. 
== Etymology ==
The name of this nation once was Foxheim, a name rooted in Vulpin and Foxtearin culture. However, do to prejudices against “furry nations”, it was ultimately decided by the people and leaders of the nation to change it. The new name of Flanderia was a suggestion made by the Hand of the Grand Jarl of the nation, Edmund Harlende. Once names were suggested, a vote was held to which the victorious name would be the new name of the nation.
== History ==
=== Early history ===
When the old world froze over, the people who initially founded Flanderia were Vericovians. They hailed from Sparwood of the old realm. 
On April 18th 2024, Adalen joined Magnudom of Flanderia in a union in which Adalen joined Flanderia as a duchy. The union would serve as a beneficial action for both parties, strengthening and giving hope thanks to the large numbers of new citizens due to this union. Soon after, efforts would be made to connect the entire nation through a road system. After three labor intensive days, all the towns in Flanderia were connected. These accomplishments stirred moral throughout the entire nation, with leaders officially declaring the “birth of the first Foxterian nation of Abexilas”. They called for all Foxterians, Vulps, and all other races to unite under one banners and to live freely.
=== Early conflicts ===
It is safe to say that this prosperity that Flanderia felt and wanted to share was not welcomed by others. Raids would befall the towns of the nation with raiders coming from many parts of the known world. However, these raids were unsuccessful due to the nation’s defenses. Because of these attacks, the government issued a promise to “train and prepare” the citizens “for any type of raids”.
A five day war that stemmed from a disagreement between Altan Rochen the leader of the crusade and Casiun Harlende the leader of clydeology. It was resolved once Altan Rochen discovered that Casian Harlende was his blood related brother.
=== Industrial development ===
Relations would be made between Flanderia and Regnum of Aquilarum with a MDP being signed. Both nations agreed to the construction of a new bridge and an underground port as a show of good faith and the desire to create better relations. 
Many towns in Flanderia would begin construction on mass XP farms which would serve as a means to enable loyal citizens to work and earn payments through the selling of raw XP, gear, and tools. This industry would allow wealth to flow into the nation as well as something to be used by citizens for daily use in enchantment and repairs.
=== Wedding at Aldveria ===
On May 10th at nine pm central eastern time, the city of Aldveria would see its first marriage between Aaroline Harlende and Casian Harlende. A total of 16 attendees were present to witness the union. Unfortunately there were some incidents after the wedding, namely raiding, in which some people were killed.
=== Parliament Project ===
Around the same time, on of the nation’s biggest projects would begin: the Parliament Project. This project would take place in Aldveria and would aim to create a building where government meetings could be held as well as to host the first Continental Sumit.
== North Colony ==
The territory that gave Flanderia its biggest historical expansion was North Colony.
The colony in the north was neither purchased nor subjugated, it included Thandoms led by The union of Y and Davian where it was later sold off to the UCKR
One day, the mayor of a little village named Village of Elador, Davian, decided to seek assistance and defense for his community from foreign treaties by travelling across the oceans and seas.
In this instance, he discovered Flanderia, where he requested protection. Following some debate, this request was granted, and the land was formally recognized as Flanderia territory.
Flanderia has greater opportunities and tremendous growth during their days in the north, but eventually, this would cost them the entire colony.
The day that arrived was neither predicted nor discouraged. An unidentified messenger arrives at Elador's gates, requesting authorization to enter and endeavour to deliver the message to the first noble he comes across.
Edmund Harlende, a Hand of the Grand Jarl, was involved in this case. The message he received startled him and made him wonder what would happen after this incident. It was an ultimatum from Dyshella, a powerful nation that was subordinate to the colony.
Huge alliances and threats were mentioned in the communication, along with an ultimatum that called for the surrender of the northern territories.
Edmund hurried to the mainland in order to ask the Jarls Council for assistance. The entire council met and discussed the possibility of giving up the territories.
Following some debate, the council chose to engage in negotiations, which ultimately led to the sale of the entire colony. 
The colony was sold for 220k, as well for Flanderia this was their end of holding the territories in the end which was under them for 3 weeks.
