Nordaustlandet is a nation located near Svalbard.
History
Formation
In April of 2020, the historical king of all of Svalbard, ThundorLord, left in a major absence. This left a heavy power gap in the archipelago, which led to unrest throughout the isles. TreePapi, a powerful landowner in Svalbard, proposed a rebel nation to reactivate the dying nation on May 5. On May 7, Nordaustlandet was formed, with Kantbyen immediately seceding from Svalbard. This was falsely reported as a civil war by EMCL, even as the secession was peaceful.
Attempts at International Recognition
In the following days, Nordaustlandet gained two additional cities(Barentsburg and Sveagruva, respectively), and was increasingly recognized as a legitimate state. The NLA sent diplomats to Nordaustlandet, and acknowledged the failure of Svalbard to retain growth. The country eventually gained recognition from 6 foreign nations, and the cities of Hullstad and Pyramiden in Svalbard.
Escalation of the Conflict
Tensions have continued to rise between the two powers, with both sides containing extremist factions hell-bent on declaring war. In Svalbard, many citizens have demanded that Nordaustlandet cede the city of Barentsburg, with some demanding a full reconquest of the islands. In Nordaustlandet, two contingency plans have been developed in case of war. One, developed by the Jarl of Kantbyen, suggests a conquest of some coastal cities, while another, developed by an external strategist, is prepared to fully unite the islands under Nordaustlandet's control. Still, the oligarchy of Svalbard is reluctant to declare war, and the Jarls in Nordaustlandet are afraid to launch an attack.
