History
Early History
Scotland was established on the 23rd of January 2019 by RuseOwl. Multiple settlements were founded across Scotland with the capital being originally in Dumfries. During this period Scotland was involved in great conflict with Britain as the British army attacked Scottish citizens and surrounded Scottish towns. The war is known for the Battle of Newburgh which resulted in a large number of soldiers taking part. Britain relied solely upon it's organised army meanwhile Scotland had it's unequipped militia as well as foreign allies. This continued for days with various attacks on Scottish citizens although as days went by the severity and number of attacks went down.
Beginning of Stability
As Scotland became more peaceful, the towns of Scotland focused more on internal growth as well as expanding. At this time the capital was moved to Aberdeen as it was an area focused on trade and foreign investment. Technically, the War for Scottish Independence still rages on, however events are less frequent and often are shorter.
Infighting began during the Scottish War for Independence as a dispute in Fenrir led to a resident leaving and making a Scottish settlement in Iceland. The mayor of Fenrir and mayor of the new town Storidalur had argued and this led to attacks on both sides. After the mayor of Storidalur caused Scottish reputation to sour with other countries, he was exiled from Scotland.
As the war went on and as Scotland received less attacks from the British army. This allowed Scotland to experience a time of stability resulting in multiple businesses popping up. Some of these include the Blue Lagoon, Royal Bank of Scotland and the Fenrir Building Company.
