Snowbul

## Snowbul(SW)

### General information

Snowbul is a nation located in Bubbiasia. While being one of the oldest nations on the planet of Schlung, it also is still one of the most powerful nations, if not the most powerful. The mainland is mostly polar tundra/taiga, Mediterranean, and mountainous. Snowbul borders many other nations, such as Takavina, Campasia, and Caldonia(through the jointly owned island of Elmo Island). It owns 94% of the islands in the Mackay ocean, and has over 1,200 distinct island and mainland territories. The nation was founded by Artil

### History

Snowbul got its name from a town Artil and his friend lived in. As the town no longer exists, Artil payed tribute to it by naming his new nation Snowbul. The first city he founded, which would later become the capital, was Snowbul city. Taking advantage of the snowy environment, Snowbul was near impossible to invade without freezing or getting lost, as most of it was a white barren wasteland. This allowed Snowbul to evolve and grow powerful, and eventually gain tons of land more north, east, and west. As they reached the limits of the snow, they expanded more into the north, as gaining a warmwater port would be crucial to be a world superpower.

### Culture

Snowbuls culture is heavily influenced by the snowy surroundings. Snowbuls states are named after wintery or christmasy things. Snowbul developed a language, Snowbic(Snowbic is planned to be the new demonym) and has big roots in English and Norsk, though some new letters have been created for the language. The Snowbic language is also derived from Korean and Hebrew, though this is less apparent.

### War with other nations

The first known war Snowbul had with another nation was itself. The state of Yulemint refused to share its bounty with the rest of the nation, and went as far as attacking the state of Luchan(Luchandaas at that point in time). A planned attack on the village of Northstar in Luchandaas called the Snowbellian military to go to Yulemint and suppress their power. Yulemint went as far to threaten to set fire to Snowbul City if they had to share the bounty that they thought was rightfully theirs. A negotiation was set to where Yulemint could gain independece, as that was best for both nations. Yulemint renamed to Takavina, and over time, the two nations grew more friendly, and the two nations now are super friendly.

During Snowbuls expansion into the Mackay ocean, the then new nation of Caldonia sought to expand also. Caldonia encroached onto Snowbuls islands in the Mackay ocean(The Eglais Archipelago). Many border disputes happened, and eventually after not finding peace, Caldonia waged war on Snowbul. The wars were mainly fought on the islands, which Snowbul defeating most of the battles, and taking back not only their islands, but ones Caldonia had discovered. Eventually disputes were settled, and it was made to where Caldonia got to expand to the ocean south of them, but Snowbul got all the islands Caldonia had to the north, plus a small shoal near Caldonia

Snowbul had nations surrounding it on all sides. In an act of self defense after unwarranted attacks on Snowbellian trade ships and a ground invasion by the nation of Pbcaytu, Snowbul launched its own invasion on surrounding nations. Snowbul would finally prove itself as a world superpower, defeating Pbcaytu(now known as Alyu), The Olistad corridor, and Retyoka, a once Snowbellian territory which had claimed independence
