The Houff Union was founded after the overthrowing of Timberland's monarchy caused by a communist uprising which ousted King Gary I and Queen Sandy IV. The country then became a one party dictatorial state. Decades before the founding of the new Timberland, the territory of Timberland and many others were part of a country governed by a Rutheles Communist dictatorship called "The Houff Union." The dictator that ruled this country with an iron fist was Kenelm Hamilton, who gave his people no freedom which meant that all decisions were taken by him and the corrupt military elite of the country. Anyone who opposed the system was kidnapped and left to rotten in the horrible Houffen concentration camps. The dictator was full of himself and ignorant, so one day he decided to declare war on a nearby country to get more land, but it was the worst mistake ever made for his sake, because when the Houff Unions' military was busy battling, there was no one to protect him because he sent EVERYONE working for him to battle, so one day one of the snipers from the enemy country assasinated, so thats when his son Stephen Hamilton took the power, hoewer we wasn't nearly as evil as his now gone father, he was quite the opposite, he allowed the people more freedom, but that doesnt mean he made everything better entirely, he hadn't improved the economy and unemployment rates were up to 60 percent, even still, the people who had a job were paid horribly, barely any money an hour, and worked more than half of their day to barely make a living. So thats when a group of governors who opposed the government met in Kenelmsburg, now called Bradfordsburg and decided that every province of the Houff Union should either be allowed to peacefully leave the Union, or Revolt against the government and leave anyway, so the governors told him: "Hey man, we want to declare our independence and create a well economized and stabilized country, here is the agreement so please sign it" and these were Stephen's real words: HELL NO YOURE NOT DECLARING INDEPENDENCE! WHATS MAKES YOU THINK YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO SUCH THING? ARE YOU OK IN THE HEAD! so this enfuriated the governors who brought the people who supported the idea of independence at the Custer plaza in Eaglesight to protest, in response, Stephen called in the military to repress the protest. The soldiers fired at the protestors, that moment turned the protest from peaceful to violent the protestors went violent, for the occasion they were carrying rifles with them and fired back at the military, afterwards, the protestors raided the Capitol and arrested Stephen Hamilton. Just like that, the government had been overthrown and the First Timberlandian Empire was born after the creation of a new government, there was no turning back now, they had to fix the several of the country's problems and give the people freedom to do so. Together they all elected a new leader who wouldn't turn their back on them, so they elected none other than Henry Hamilton, Stephen Hamilton's son who had suffered the horrors of the Communist regime due to his anti-communist sentiments despite being the dictator's son. He promised the people that such terrible conditons and matters would NEVER surge again in Timberland.
