Pre-Founding

Early History
The nation itself was originally founded September 18, 2022 prior to being sold to TylenolEC. Upon the purchase of Laurentia, they left the Canadian meganation on July 15th, 2023. Laurentia formed the Two Seas Federation alongside British Columbia, another nation formed by fellow former Cascadians. On July 29, 2023 Laurentia's name was changed from its original name, Vinland, due to a lack of proximity to L'Anse Aux Meadows.
Acadian Embargo
On August 19th, 2023 Chief Governor TylenolEC declared an embargo on the nation of Acadia along with the nations of Cascadia, Kushan, Midwest Union, Arctic Empire, New Brunswick, Moldavia, and British Columbia. This was in response to the killing and and extorting of a citizen of the nation. Within 7 hours, the leaders of Acadia agreed to repay 192 gold and a beacon to the afflicted citizen and signed the Treaty of Acadia guaranteeing their payment and additionally serving as a non-aggression pact between the two nations.
Incorporation Of British Columbia

Wars
Spanish Empire/Golden Federation
The Union of Laurentia hasn't participated in many wars. The first was against the Spanish Empire. This war was done to show support for their ally the Antarctic Union after the Spanish Empire killed members of the AU in peace talks. Later, after the war had settled the Union of Laurentia declared war on the Spanish Empire yet again as well as the Golden Federation because of another conflict involving the Antarctic Union/Polar Republic.
