Little information survives from Svalbard's history prior to the foundation of the modern state. The first known cities to appear on Svalbard were relatively heavily populated, with the first settlement, Sveagruva, appearing around November of 2019 just south of modern Longyearbyen, whose ruins survive to this day. Settlement on Bear Island, now known as Bjornoya, began around this period, with a similarly high population being reached. The only true event documented during this period was the creation of the [[Global Seed Vault]] by CynicHavoc, which survived into 2020. | Little information survives from Svalbard's history prior to the foundation of the modern state.

Like the | Like other events during this period, the [[Svalbard.1|Old Kingdom of Svalbard]] has a poorly documented history, with many events completely up to debate. The only thing that is known for certain is the foundation of a Svalbardic nation in mid-2019 by SirFirelord, centered around the city of Icemoor in southern Nordaustlandet. While the city grew larger than any other in Svalbard's history, the nation did not - as time went on, the nation gradually decayed, never achieving more than two member cities. The nation was known to have poor relations with Britain, which was raided in failed invasions multiple times. | ||

Following the collapse of SirFirelord's Svalbard in July of 2019, preexisting cities would continue to be founded and grow. Most notable during this period was Stram-Kurs, today known as the old quarter of Pyramiden, the only internationally known destination in the archipelago. The city would persist until the foundation of modern Svalbard, and was renowned for its architecture. The only concentrated effort towards the foundation of a Svalbardic state was the [[Svalbard Republic|Republic of Svalbard]], today known as Snofortbyen, created by a small group of West African refugees. Also notable was the city of Sos-Kablyat, created due to the flood of French players from [[FuzeIII]]. | Following the collapse of SirFirelord's Svalbard in July of 2019, preexisting cities would continue to be founded and grow.
