 A freshwater valley near Nyejord The Federal Republic of Greenland, aka "Greenlandic People," is an independent, multiparty republic located in the region of Lavinium. Greenland is actually an inaccurate term applied to the island; it technically ought to be known as as New Greenland owing to the fact that the original homeland of the population of Greenland is, in fact, Greenland. Greenland has gone through stages of monarchy, anarchy, and even a period of autocracy before finally reaching a state of democratic government based upon universal suffrage and constitutional rights. Today, Greenland is emerging once again from the shadows to become a powerful and influential state in the region of Lavinium and beyond.
History
-
The original Greenland was abandoned about six centuries ago due to the lack of necessary resources in Greenland, and the severance of communication with the rest of Europe due to the advent of a minor ice age. The survivors fled Greenland and took to the sea, following ancient Inuit tribal legends in search of a land where they could settle and carve out a new civilization.
In 1467, they made landfall on Yanka Isle, which is similar in size to the original Greenland, however in terms of climate and topography it more closely resembles Iceland or northern Scotland. Over time the Greenlandic people became politically divided, and seven feudal states ruled by kings warred over control of the island and her people. A bitter civil war was fought for many decades, in which King Erik of Kraptr was ultimately victorious, enabling him to proclaim himself "King of the Norsemen and all Greenland".
 The Jorkell River reaches its widest point This unified Greenlandic state has persisted - in many forms - until the present day. After roughly two-centuries of monarchical rule, the country entered a relatively bloodless transition to democratic government, based on Enlightenment ideals which had begun to creep into the country. The Republic proved to be no less reactionary than the monarchy, however, and by the middle of the 20th Century it too had been overthrown, supplanted by a ostensibly Communist dictatorship led by Maagnus Svalbard. Maagnus ruled Greenland unchallenged for over fifty years, until a sudden stroke took his life in 2008. A civil war erupted, in which the rebels proved victorious and a second, Federal Republic of Greenland was proclaimed.
Under the Federal Republic, extensive reforms have brought Greenland renewed power and influence. Greenland has recently embarked on a campaign of colonialism, and their involvement in the Al Quidah Incident and the Bariyan War have proved that Greenland has emerged from the past six-hundred years of strife stronger and more united than ever.
Geography
The Federal Republic of Greenland has an approximate landmass of 112,046.72 sq mi , with inland lakes and rivers comprising about 6% of the country. Greenland is an island, and it is the largest proper island in the region of Lavinium.
