Newfoundland (Aurora)
History
The nation of Newfoundland was founded on Aurora by Bajzyl, on June 6, 2022. Bajzyl, the first King, established the Bazicla Dynasty and invited a few towns to the nation. Bajzyl did not do much with Newfoundland during his rule, resulting in a small, isolated nation with little infrastructure. Bajzyl eventually grew tired of the nation and sold it on January 21, 2023 to Fizzbruv (former Emperor of the Solomon Islands), thus making Fizzbruv the new King. Fizz established the Fizz Dynasty and started work on the nation. He created the Parliament, which limited the Kings power and control over Newfoundland. He also established political districts, or Provinces, which were essentially towns and their political control over a certain area. During his first few weeks as King, 6 new Provinces joined the nation and 30 more players moved to the nation.
Newfoundland's Attempts at the Colonization of Greenland
Newfoundland's Parliament decided to attempt at a colonization plan to colonize Greenland and other parts of the world. 2 Provinces were made there including New Rochefort, lead (at the time) by BlazinDoctor, and Citadel, lead by coleslaw4dinner who decided to aid in Newfoundland's attempts to colonize the coast. However leader of the NSR (North Sea Republic) an Empire on EarthMC, told King Fizz II to remove the colonies off the coast or they would counter with an act of war, placing towns in Newfoundland's Mainland.
Parliament eventually decided to let go of Newfoundlandish Greenland's Colonies and focus more on claiming their own mainland. This eased the tensions between Newfoundland and the NSR.
The Departure of King Fizz II
On March 7th, 2023 the 2nd King of Newfoundland, Fizzbruv officially declared his stepping down from the Throne. This in turn made the heir, Prince Drchemisalive the new King and Monarch of Newfoundland.
Fizzbruv later went on to apologize to Parliament for his rash actions and attempted to regain his former throne from Drchemisalive, which was quickly turned down.
Former King Fizzbruv later went on to cause turmoil within Newfoundland's Parliament. Making plans un-retire from EMC and to leave for Italy and bring Parliament members, and the King, with him. This plan ultimately backfired with the new King (Drchemisalive) declaring that he would not be traveling to Italy with him. The other members of Fizz's party began to leave his plans. This, in turn, caused Fizz to create the Town of Luxem (Luxembourg) to rival the nation and create his own empire in Europe.
King Drchemisalive III went on to crown ViikinkiJaVelho the new Prince of Newfoundland on March 8, 2023.
Newfoundland and Canada’s Confederacy
Newfoundland was invited to join Canada’s Mega Nation (Confederacy) on March 22, 2023. After long debates and persuasion tactics by Canada’s Governor General, twomoo1119, Newfoundland ultimately decided to join Canada.
However, there were disputes and confusion between Newfoundlands Government and Canada’s Confederation Document. Newfoundland thought that they were unable to make independent decisions and therefore left the Mega Nation on March 30, 2023.
Recognition of Christianity in Newfoundland Empire
Before and after the departure of King Fizz II, there were many attempts made by Father DirtMan8729 do instill an official religion in Newfoundland. There were Parliament meetings, votes and disputes about having a nation wide religion. After the retirement of King Fizz II, Father Dirt was able to diplomatically discuss with King Drchemisalive III and had successfully completed his mission of the evangelization of Newfoundland.
On March 18, 2023 the announcement was made of Newfoundland's new religion and on March 20, 2023 the first ever Mass was held at the capital, La_Manche in the local church.
