History

Prior to Formation 

Old Svalbard was a large kingdom which established authority over the central portions of the archipelago. It eventually collapsed, leaving many ruins and city-states behind.

Foundation of Svalbard 

Formation 

Thundorlord and other residents of Longyearbyen worked for just over half a month amassing the gold necessary to form the nation.

Growth 

As of November 8, 2019, the nation has annexed neighboring Nordaustlandet, as the borders of Longyearbyen itself have grown.

Cities

Longyearbyen

Formation

ThundorLord spent just under a week gathering the gold necessary to form the future capital, burying the gold to prevent it from being stolen. It was founded on the exact spot where Longyearbyen is in the real world.

Growth

Not long after it's founding, the town began to expand, as the town expanded slowly, a few players joined, (most of the now 'Lords'). These players would help fund the nation. During the save up for the nation, Longyearbyen put expansion on hold, as all funds, and all resident's gold, would go towards Nationhood. After Nationhood was reached, Longyearbyen began expanding rapidly, in population, and territory size. The capital has reached a size of around 38 chunks. The current population is 16 .

Other info

Longyearbyen is where the majority of the population of Svalbard lives, and where most national trade takes place as it is /n spawn. Longyearbyen is also the world's northernmost Capital City.

Nordaustlandet

Formation

Not much is known on the formation of Nordaustlandet because of it's isolation from the capital. But it was planned to join the nation for a few weeks before the founding took place.

Growth

Nordaustlandet remains a 1-man-town, with only enough claims to protect the mayor's house. Despite many prompts to expand, by the King. The small town remains this way. This small town has a size of 4-5 chunks.

Other info

Nordaustlandet was the capital of Svalbard for 3 hours on the 11th of November 2019, because of a command mistake by the King. This makes Nordaustlandet a past capital of the nation, and the mayor, Maineri, a past ruler.

Svenskoya

Formation

Svenskoya was founded by Matburnx, not long after Svalbard was founded. The soon-to-be-mayor of the island town, told the King that it was to be founded soon, so the nation granted him the remaining gold necessary to found the town.

Growth

Since it's founding Svenskoya has admitted one new resident and claimed half of the island. Meaning it has a size of at least 7 chunks

Snofortbyen

Formation

Snofortbyen was founded by Lopatomil sveral days after joining Svalbard. During that time he saved up almost 3 stacks of gold. Then he announced his plans about rebuilding ruins of the old republic to Thundor. He agreed and contributed with more gold.

Growth

As of today Snofortbyen consists of 4 residents and more than 15 chunks. That makes it the second biggest city on Svalbard.

Othrer info

The walls of the fort are the only part, of the Old republic ruins, that remains. Snofortbyen is connected to every town on Svalbard by ice roads.
