Etymology
The name 'Narvik', 'Provence' and the 'Lofoten Islands' all originate from maps in Battlefield V from the Tides of War Chapter 1: Overture and Chapter 4: Defying the Odds respectively.
All three names are from real-life places located around North-West Norway, with Provence being named after the region of France located along the French Riviera on the Mediterranean Sea.

Founding
The City of Narvik was founded on May 6th, 2019 by Abzorbaloff as Jezza, in a former nation called Kalaallit. Originally, the city was claimed by another user under a previous name but was sold and reclaimed by Abzorbaloff.
Gradually the city grew being built by both Abzorbaloff and fellow player, SubToLeanify, although, due to inactivity Narvik ceased to exist.
Months later in June 2019, Narvik was officially recreated and gradually grew (and surpassed) its original size.
Joining Godthab
As Narvik grew and more buildings had been erected within the city walls, the city grew prominance in the local area, especially given that Abzorbaloff had become allied with the local town, Tasiilaq. Within days, Narvik and other towns within Southern Greenland joined Godthab in an alliance against the local griefer, Baptiste1006 and his town.
Current Status
Narvik now has an important role within the nation of Godthab, due to it being the second city of the nation and its central location; serving as a port and as a buffer for the capital city. Narvik also has an important cultural impact for Godthab as it is the oldest town to be founded within the nation, detailing the original building styles and arquitecture within Greenland, with many buildings in Narvik being built within the topography of the land before mass habitation and land profiling was as simple and as easy as it is today within Greenland.Due to Godthab's autonomy policy from town to town, Narvik remains autonomous from the government of Tasiilaq, with the politburo of Narvik controlling and surveying the governing and control of the city.
