History
Formation
After the collapse of Old Frisia on the 29th of September, the scramble for the land began and the mayor of Waddenzee, PastelAnt387850, was bestowed gold to start claiming it eastwards- and the West Frisian islands quickly succumbed. MapleVK of Denmark sent an ultimatum not to expand further, but you should never listen to British people. Though British troops blocked the claim bridge to Westergoa, Pastel was agile enough to claim fast enough without being hurt. Despite blocks and attacks from Maple and the King of Indonesia, Pastel managed to claim most of West Frisia at about 2:00 AM on the 30th.
The next day, the Danish were finally blocked off by claims and Friesland quickly came under control of PastelAnt- who proclaimed himself Margrave: defender of the german border. Though the borders weren't fully restored, the historical regions of Friesland, Groningen, Emsigerland, East Frisian Islands and Federgo were under control and deemed a united town.
Culture
The main language is in fact Waddenish, the common tongue originating from the Republic of Waddenzee (modern day Westflinge). Frisian isn't really spoken amongst the population, and you're seen as of noble blood or that you have a rich merchant father if you speak it. Low-Saxon is spoken around Emsigerland and lower parts of Westergoa, and Hochdeutsch is taught in schools.
The Religion is completely Shrekist and in the town, state and religion haven't been separated because that's for weirdo liberal hippies. It is the native faith of Waddenzee, and has once again spread across Friesland during its claiming. The population is very zealous, and is one of the most theocratically-unified towns in Europe.
The Frisian culture remains dominant, while the Dutch one slowly dies out. A Waddenish delicacy, Saarbrid (Raw Chicken) was introduced and remains a thing for the tourists. We don't actually eat that stuff, it's nasty.
