Alanian Belgium (Classic)

Early History

Alanian Zeeland, formerly Belgium-Doggerland, is located in Southern Netherlands and Northern Belgium. This outpost was originally meant to expand and own all of Belgium. However this outpost became a spot for Trouble and eventually became a hot-button topic among international relations.

2nd Amsterdam Relations

Soon after the founding of the colony, Oretin_ came and took over the abandoned town of Amsterdam to the north. PolkadotBlueBear and Orein_ agreed to be peaceable neighbors as long as Belgium did not expand further East and Amsterdam did not expand further South. However this Amsterdam did not last long.

3rd Amsterdam Relations

Oretin_ left Amsterdam to take over Graz, and the colony of Belgium-Doggerland had no northern neighbor. Until GamerWitness and GrabbingDragon moved in and took over Amsterdam. Alania tried to keep in force the same treaties as agreed with the previous Amsterdam, but GamerWitness and GrabbingDragon desired control over the entire walls of Amsterdam, something that Orein_ and PolkadotBlueBear had agreed would be unclaimed by either side. Relations almost got tense but agreements were made that solved all problems and relations became friendly.

Soon after selling one of the chunks to Amsterdam; the colonial office in Belgium-Doggerland was greifed by an Alanian town member. It is possible that the town member who greifed it was paid to do so by GUI66 of Catalonia, however GUI66 did not admit this.

Zeeland

The Alanian Colony of Belgium-Doggerland was being considered for unclaiming, until FrankUnderwod2 showed up and formed his own Belgium. To avoid confusion the Alanian colony has been renamed to Zeeland. This gave a new direction for Zeeland to go, as a neutral middle-man in the region.

Many voiced their support for Belgium-Doggerland and Zeeland to unclaim, pressure first by GamerWitness and GrabbingDragon, followed by pressure from GUI, Spain, Oliveer, and others of many nations. However Alania planed to stay in Zeeland for the time being, and transforming it into a walled city for citizens to live in and people lessened their calls for Zeeland to unclaim. However in the resumption of the October War on November 2nd 2017 led to the FrankUnderwod2-Alanian Alliance being broken due to FrankUnderwod2's treatment of many people in France and Persia. This created turmoil between Begium and Zeeland, However the was no battle being fought over Zeeland and PolkadotBlueBear and Frank stayed relatively friendly.

The Belgium-Zeeland disagreements were ended with the restoration of the Belgium-Alania treaty of FrankUnderwod2 and PolkadotBlueBear. On December 13th 2017, more calls were raised by Kabo, who at the time was living in Belgium, for Alania to unclaim. These calls for unclaiming lessened when Frank moved his town from Belgium first to France then to Riga.

FrankUnderwod2 was banned, and Alanian Zeeland gained a new lease on life, and planed for expansion.

Belgium

Alanian Zeeland was renamed Alanian Belgium and quickly expanded to claim Franks old town just to the south when it fell on the 5th of Febuary. PolkadotBlueBear set about fixing the greifs that occurred in Franks Belgium and rebuilt both Zeeland and Franks Belgium back into a unified town. Alania also managed to get citizens to live in Belgium finally.

Alanian Belgium expanded and built new buildings to complement the ones of Frank, finished the walls, and planned for more citizens to move there, all in all a golden age for the outpost.

In late May however, Joel, fresh from unbanning came and set up a town just outside Belgium, calling his place Belgium, claimed the walls of Alanian Belgium, and inadvertently invalidated all treaties regarding Belgium. This may create some problems, only time will tell. Alanian Belgium tries to be friendly and is working with Amsterdam and Joel's Belgium to solve any disagreements and misunderstandings.
