Nieuw Zeeland
Niuew Zeeland is a dutch speaking island city located in the South Sandwich islands in the South Atlantic, founded by Count F1rret and MilanB09 on the 8th of June 2023. Niuew Zeeland was named after the Dutch region Zeeland located in the West of the Netherlands due to connections between the town and the region. The city's official language is Dutch however English is also commonly used due to it being the main language of Grytviken.
Early History
Founding of Nieuw Zeeland
Nieuw Zeeland was created around the 8th of June 2023 by the current mayor Count F1rret. F1rret joined the server around the 5th of June 2023, originally living in the castle of Grytviken, South Georgia. Before the landing of Nieuw Zeeland, the territory was pre-planned by Porbei, the King of Grytviken. The island was named after the region of Zeeland in the Kingdom of the Netherlands due to MilanB09, who helped in founding the island, originating from Middelburg, Zeeland. Before the adventure to the island, Grytviken gifted F1rret a full set of diamond armour and tools for the civilisation to be started as part of a planned agreement for the eventual annexation of Nieuw Zeeland by the Grytvikans.
F1rret set sail for Nieuw Zeeland later that day, officially establishing the town around the 8th of June and beginning the creation of the island's fortifications, however, no buildings were created until the 21 of June. North of Nieuw Zeeland, the island of City 18 (later Autonomous Zone 18) was founded by Polish national and ex-Grytviken citizen Dzik32, a right-wing mayor. During Nieuw Zeelands' existence in the SGSSI, Dzik constantly threatened the island and was its main opposition throughout.
After setting up the town and claiming all the regions chunks, F1rret moved back into Grytviken for the following weeks, focusing on his political career and creating the Zuidelijke Sandwicheilanden Vertegenwoordigers Partij (South Sandwich Representatives Party/SSRP) a Nieuw Zeeland based party created along with fellow resident Howduhbee. The party was focused on representing the South Sandwich party in the South Georgian court and making sure that the locals of the South Sandwich Islands were heard. However, the party was so successful that it was elected into parliament, gaining two seats with F1rret running in the Prime minister race in South Georgia and set to become the first prime minister from the South Sandwich Islands. He lost to the new parliament that RockingDudeCool's party ran: the SGRP (South Georgia Reform Party), a right-wing authoritarian party from South Georgia that was strictly against the South Sandwich Dutch population.
The party cracked down heavily on the Dutch-speaking population. A bill was passed in parliament that attempted to ban the Dutch language however it only banned Dutch from being an official language in future after left-wing politician Starman8742 softened the bill stating that it was too harsh. However, the SGRP was not finished with Nieuw Zeeland, attempting to remove the Dutch culture from existing as a recognised culture in South Georgia, which would have made them exempt from the Bill for the Rights of Minorities in South Georgia, essentially removing their rights as a culture.
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
Nieuw Zeeland was the first town to join South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (SGSSI) around 2 minutes after its creation on the 15th of June as promised by F1rret earlier in the month. However, the welcome of Nieuw Zeeland into the nation was very hostile. Following the loss in the political campaign, RockingDudeCool was quick to attempt to suppress the Dutch with the newly gained power over them. After banning the language from being official, he tried to remove Dutch as being seen as a genuine culture stating that he "would be removing the Dutch 'culture'". As a result, the population of Nieuw Zeeland became increasingly concerned, considering leaving SGSSI until the law changed for the better. In replacement of this, Nieuw Zeeland began to create its government, giving the island more autonomy within the SGSSI.
On the 21st of June 2023, F1rret moved back into Nieuw Zeeland after developing Grytviken and adventuring to Patagonia and The Kingdom of the Netherlands however, he was still travelling in and out of Grytviken to build. Upon moving back into the town, work was made on the parliament with 4 seats assigned to locals (double the population at the time) with the mayor hosting. Furthermore, the town's paths were paved and a nether highway was constructed between City 18, now Autonomous Zone 18 and Grytviken allowing for easier access. Around this time, Autonomous Zone 18 joined SGSSI however the Poles were treated with much more respect than the Dutch despite their griefing in SGSSI.
On the 24th of June, F1rret established an embassy in San Martín due to the brilliant relations between the Mayor of San Martín and Nieuw Zeeland. The embassy was erected and was set to span 3 chunks, serving as the main embassy between Patagonia and the SGSSI however no talks were ever held there. Meanwhile, in Grytviken, the situation worsened.
The parliament outcome of the 24th of June was a big hit against F1rret's policies. The other members of parliament created a coalition designed specifically against F1rret which removed any possibility of any of his laws getting approved while also making all anti-Dutch laws guaranteed to be introduced to parliament. As a result of the meeting, the SSRP briefly questioned the consequences of the new bill to which RockingDudeCool replied:
"If you try to leave us, we will block your island and kill you every time you leave. The only place you can go is Mali because your home is set there."
The 24th of June also brang F1rret and Dres2, God of Patagonia, to negotiate talks for the event of Nieuw Zeeland declaring their independence from Grytviken: Patagonia would supply Nieuw Zeeland with manpower and arms on the terms they would become a puppet state of Patagonia permanently. The negotiation was agreed upon making a start to Patagonian-Nieuw Zeeland relations.
The incident in San Martín
On the evening of the 25th of June 2023, the situation in Grytviken reached its climax. During the F1 Polish Granprix of 2023, Porbei, the King of SGSSI intruded on the track, ignoring all warnings sent by marshals. As a result, F1rret apologised to the F1 community on behalf of the SGSSI:
"I also just want to apologise on behalf of SGSSI for the behaviour of my liege, our king, Porbei for the track invasion. This is quite frankly an embarrassment for SGSSI which I am a part of and we're sorry for what has happened. We do not wish for our, now ruined, reputation to affect our premature relationship with the EMC F1 group. We will still probably be creating our track later this year but this may not be from Porbei. Once again, sorry for what has happened today. From Count F1rret, Mayor of Nieuw Zeeland, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands."
The event escalated quickly after Porbei responded by calling treason and for the death of F1rret immediately or for him to back down and accept his punishment. F1rret declined and, fearing persecution, fled for asylum in San Martín. During this time, he hid within his embassy and awaited the arrival of mercenaries, desperately trying to negotiate with the SGSSI.
