Map of Frozyland

The Kingdom of Frozyland is a civilization located in Dimension S-2012. It is one of the oldest and biggest civilizations located in the dimension and has had several colonies in other dimensions throughout the years. Frozyland is also the location of the Library's HQ.

## Etymology

The name Frozyland is derived from the Ferosi, the name given by New Sisanctum to a tribe roughly in the same area where Frozyland is today. Ferosi in turn is derived from the Sisanctan 'ferox', which means 'fierce' or 'wild'. Thus Frozyland means 'land of the Ferosi'.

## History

### Before its founding

Before the founding of Frozyland, there was a tribe called the Ferosi that lived in roughly the same area during the hayday of New Sisanctum. Not much is known about this tribe, other than that they were described by the New Sisanctans as a fierce and wild people, hence the name they gave them, the Ferosi. This tribe most likely disappeared during the Dark Ages as a result of the unstable political climate in the world.

### Early Modern Era (250AA - 600AA)

The Kingdom of Frozyland was founded in 262AA by a group of individuals who had travelled from the south to explore new lands in the north. In its early days it was protected by landlord Elias the Great, who later became King Elias of Frozyland. Under King Elias' rule, the people of Frozyland built a castle and some defensive towers to defend the land against foreign threats. This castle and some of the towers are still visible today in Frozyland's Rothenburg District. Just north of Frozyland, another tribe known as the Slimes built fortifications. The Slimes would eventually be integrated peacefully, their underground dwellings still present underneath the Josephstadt district.

King Elias was succeeded by King Cedric I in 312AA. King Cedric I further expanded Frozyland within its historical city centre (today's Rothenburg District). Under his rule, Elias' castle was expanded into a palace, a casino was built on the opposite side of the town and walls were built to further defend the city against foreign raiders. An artificial lake was also created and named Nose Lake. King Cedric I ordered a commemorative monument to be built in the shape of a nose. During Cedric I's rule, a ship from Ingen City brought supplies to expand and build up the country. Cedric often felt emboldened by his popularity and often ordered weird construction projects, such as the statue of Piloswine, built somewhere between 345 and 359AA. During this time, Frozyland had a trade partnership with USA, although through Project Tantiss, this trade relationship mostly favored Frozyland.

In 359AA, the Piloswine statue burnt down. It is suspected that raiders from USA razed the building to the ground, but there is very little evidence of who the actual culprit was. Nevertheless, Frozyland nationalists used the event to rally people for war against USA. After the elections were won by the Nationalist Party, the cry for war was getting louder and louder. Eventually, the new Nationalist government declared war on USA, starting the Frozyland-USA War. Frozyland's allies, Empire and Seaside Bay, quickly joined its side. The new government militarized Frozyland and constructed many new bases as well as an airfleet, including a ship called Piloswine's Revenge. In the early days of the war, a USA spy was killed when he tried to enter the military base underneath Nose Lake. In 362AA a combined attack by Frozyland, Empire and Seaside Bay on USA's underground city made a swift end to the war. In the following peace treaty, the Treaty of Ingen City in 363AA, the war was ended. Frozyland would help USA resettle and rebuild and in return, USA would pay war reparations to Frozyland. At the conclusion of the war, an elderly King Cedric I ordered the construction of a new town square, Peace Square, located in front of the ruins of the former Piloswine statue.

King Cedric I died in 365AA and was succeeded by King Cedric II, who continued the expansion of Frozyland. In the late 360s, a new city district was built; the Venezia District. Meanwhile, scandals rocked the Nationalist Party as one of its ministers had filled his pockets with loot raided from USA's underground base. In subsequent elections, the Nationalist Party was blasted back into irrelevance. In the 370s, Frozyland constructed a metro network and connected it to USA's and Ingen City's metro network. Frozyland's streets were electrified and lampposts were put around the entire city to light up the streets at night. In 374AA, the first international football match was played between FC Frozyland and the Ingen Giants, ending in a 2-1 victory for Frozyland. To celebrate this, King Cedric II ordered all future football matches to be free. At the same time, the sport inspired him to invent the SerriGames, an international sport event where nations would compete peacefully in a set of sports and minigames. In 375, Frozyland scientists first discovered interdimensional travel and settled the city of Timbuktu in Dimension S-2014. To celebrate this new colony, the first ever edition of the SerriGames was held in Timbuktu and won by USA.

Frozyland continued to grow internally and externally under King Cedric II and his successors. The following districts were constructed in chronological order:

* Palatino District (*2014*)
* Rechteroever District (*2014*)
* Petit Paris District (*2015*)
* Westpoort District (*2015)*
* Westminster District (*2015)*

In 415AA, Frozyland was connected to the global highway system. At that moment, the highway sat at the western border of the city and ran straight through the Westpoort and Westminster Districts. The growing city also resulted in a growing empire, with several new towns being founded across the Kingdom:

* Port Dover
* Struntheim
* Svartalheim
* Jotunheim

The years between 415 and 600AA were mostly uneventful, except for the disappearance of the Bowsercopter in 542AA and the founding of T-Town in 567AA by an expedition led by CedCDC. In the 450s there was also a brief conflict with Alexandria over free passage through the Strait of Alexander. The conflict was resolved peacefully and Alexandria became a Free Harbour. Between 550AA and 600AA, Frozyland began a rapid process of industrialization, with several more city districts being built:

* Duckerloo District (*2015)*
* Josephstadt/Josefov District (*2016)*
* Montparnasse District (*2016)*

### Modern Era (600AA - 1000AA)

In 600AA, the leaders of the nations of Frozyland, USA and T-Town gathered in Frozyland to found the United Nations. The UN quickly established ground rules for international conduct. Frozyland continued to grow, with the following districts being built since 600AA:

* Frederikshavn District (*2016*)
* Brandenburger District (*2017*)
* Sint-Gillis District (*2017*)
* Zoliborz District (*2017)*
* Carbon Neutral Industry Zone (*2017*)
* La Pedrera District (*2018*)

In addition, in 667AA new parliament buildings were constructed to house the Riksdag and the Flotte, a symbol of Frozyland's democratic institutions and traditions. In 675AA, Kaiserreich was founded north of Frozyland. In 686, an international crisis broke out over the SerriGaming Museum after alterations to the building by contractors from Frozyland. T-Town brought the case before the International Criminal Court. T-Town argued that the contractors had broken local laws by building without permission, yet the Frozyland government argued that the Museum was server heritage and thus didn't belong to T-Town's territory. The presiding judge, who came from USA, decided that since there was no clear indication in the UN's treaties what the territorial status of server heritage entailed, the contractors didn't act illegally. This court decision gave rise to UN Decree VI, a compromise between Frozyland and T-Town determining that server heritage would belong to the territory of the nation it was located in.

More recently, interdimensional travel has led to several extradimensional colonies, including in S-2020 and the Township of Ovis in S-2019. After the Great Collapse and the relocation of Neo Boreopolis, a treaty was signed in 959AA between Frozyland and Neo Boreopolis, the Treaty of Jotunheim, setting the terms for a positive relationship. A railroad was built from Frozyland to Neo Boreopolis, increasing trade between the two nations.

### Post-Modern Era (1000AA - present)

In the 11th century AA, the effects of climate change began to show themselves in Frozyland, with the large taiga forest in the south of the Kingdom thawing completely. In addition, due to the arrival of the continent of Orwald from Dimension T-2022, Frozyland has had to deal with increasing competition on the international stage. Its position as market leader has come under stress, while nations such as Duyn and Corellia now formed a counterweight to Frozyland and USA in the United Nations. Trade prevented any tensions for a while, but conflict was on the horizon.

In 1144, the Library succeeded in transporting more remnants from S-2020 to S-2012, thus saving the civilizations which were thought to be lost forever, such as the Wallaceian Empire and the Empire of Wineghem. In 1145, Frozyland hosted an international summit to reform the United Nations to accommodate for these new nations joining. In the subsequent Frozyland Accords, any remaining tensions between S-2020 nations were resolved and the spirit of their International Community survived on in their accession to the UN.

## Form of Government

Frozyland is a constitutional monarchy, meaning it has a monarch bound by a constitution. The position of monarch is passed on from parent to eldest child upon death or abdication. Frozyland's laws are made by the National Assembly, a bicameral body composed of the Riksdag, the lower house, and the Flotta, the upper house. The Riksdag represents the people of Frozyland and is elected every 5 years. 150 members are elected from a single electoral district. The Flotta represents the 3 provinces of Frozyland; Jotunia, Dovinia and Frozyland Capital, and is also elected every 5 years. The Flotta is composed of 100 members elected in 4 different districts: 23 from Dovinia, 21 from Jotunia, 50 from Frozyland Capital and 6 from the Colonies.

After elections, the monarch will appoint a Prime Minister, the Prime Minister then forms a government Cabinet consisting of at least 10 people. The Cabinet needs a majority in the Riksdag to be approved. Governments can at all times be voted out by a majority in the Riksdag through a vote of no-confidence. Alternatively, the monarch can also disband either House with support from a majority of the Cabinet. Bills can be proposed in both Houses, although the Flotta has the exclusive right to propose legislation concerning agriculture, fishing and mining. Bills need to be approved by a majority in both Houses to pass into law. Constitutional amendments need a two-thirds majority to pass. The Cabinet sees to it that laws are applied into practice.

Each province also has a Regional Council consisting of 25 seats and composed of locally elected officials. These councils are elected every 6 years. They can choose to implement regional laws, but national laws always overrule regional laws. Conflicts between laws are settled in the Constitutional Court.

There once was a time when Frozyland was at war with USA. Back then, Frozyland was still a small settlement and USA an underground base. For a long time, this base was being observed by the Frozyland Secret Service. On a certain day
the lord of Frozyland at that time, Elias, decided it was time to attack. And thus all members of Frozyland (Sibe, Cedric, Isaac, Elias and Rune) attacked the base literally from the glass above ground. They placed TNT in the entire base and thus caused
