=== '''Decline and the Provisional Government''' ===

After repeated town sales and a lack of central authority, Svalbard began an immense decline in spring of 2020. After ThundorLord left again around April, the mayors adopted a provisional oligarchic government to keep the nation intact.

=== '''Nordaustlandet's Secession''' ===
  +
Due to Frustration with the Inactivity of Svalbard and the Vanishing of it's leader, TreePapi created thenation of Nordaustlandet in the northern town of Blomstringenbyen (now Jordetbyen), with Kantbyen and Barentsburg Joining soon after. The nation has since maintained a positive relationship with the remaining Citizens of Svalbard.
  +
  +
=== '''Domination of Nordaustlandet''' ===
  +
On May 14, 2020, Pyramiden joined Nordaustlandet, marking the nation's first expansion into Spitsbergen. Shortly afterwards, the mayor of Pyramiden, Miztheirkizshen, founded a new city on the island of Nordaustlandet, named Lomfjorden. This was the first independent expansion of the new nation, and cemented the new nation's dominant role in the islands.

Not long after it's founding, the town began to expand, as the town expanded slowly, a few players joined, (most of the now 'Lords'). These players would help fund the nation. During the save up for the nation, Longyearbyen put expansion on hold, as all funds, and all resident's gold would go towards Nationhood. After Nationhood was reached, Longyearbyen began expanding rapidly, in population, and territory size. The capital has reached a size of 145 chunks. The current population is 11.

Svalbard's constitution was completed on 02/14/2020. This country is a democratic (Constitutional monarchy) government that votes on a leader every month, starting March 1st of 2020.
  
   
−
=== '''The High Council''' ===
 +
=== '''The Oligarchy''' ===
  +
Svalbard's current government was installed on May 2, 2020. The government is intended to delegate an extreme amount of power to the nobles, primarily due to the King leaving on April 8 of that year. During this period, Svalbard's leaders assembled in a council popularly known as the oligarchy. Mayors were automatically allowed in the oligarchy once their activity was confirmed, and other citizens could be introduced with an 80% vote. The oligarchy was ruled by a head oligarch, who operated polling within the system. Polls were the primary means of communication, leading to attempted intervention in Russia and Groenland that went nowhere. The oligarchy existed only in name after May 11, 2020.

Svalbard is a declining Arctic nation North of Mainland Scandinavia.

The nation is on /n list 21.

History

Prior to Formation 

Old Svalbard was a large kingdom that established authority over the central portions of the archipelago. It eventually collapsed, leaving many ruins and city-states behind.

Foundation of Svalbard 

Xy7gm6puhi721

The Royal Arms of Svalbard, which were used as an official flag until the adoption of the oligarchy

Formation 

Thundorlord and other residents of Longyearbyen worked for just over half a month amassing the gold necessary to form the nation.

Growth 

As of November 8, 2019, the nation had annexed neighboring Nordaustlandet, as the borders of Longyearbyen itself have grown.

Sketch-1575021885304

Svalbard's territory in December of 2019

New Randers Rebellion

Beginning

A player by the name of RG_Guy_05, with gnomedrick, decided that they wanted to rebel against their nation of Svalbard because of the refusal to start as a democracy. Therefore, New Randers was born. circa. December 2019.

Failure

The town at first joined Svalbard, trying to fool Thundorlord. But a few hours later left, and started the rebellion.

Due to their lack of gold, they couldn't reach nationhood. Eventually RG_guy_05 went inactive, leaving gnomedrick as the mayor. The town got a few people, but eventually went completely inactive. The town fell April 2, 2020.

Decline and the Provisional Government

After repeated town sales and a lack of central authority, Svalbard began an immense decline in spring of 2020. After ThundorLord left again around April, the mayors adopted a provisional oligarchic government to keep the nation intact.

Nordaustlandet's Secession

Due to Frustration with the Inactivity of Svalbard and the Vanishing of it's leader, TreePapi created thenation of Nordaustlandet in the northern town of Blomstringenbyen (now Jordetbyen), with Kantbyen and Barentsburg Joining soon after. The nation has since maintained a positive relationship with the remaining Citizens of Svalbard.

Domination of Nordaustlandet

On May 14, 2020, Pyramiden joined Nordaustlandet, marking the nation's first expansion into Spitsbergen. Shortly afterwards, the mayor of Pyramiden, Miztheirkizshen, founded a new city on the island of Nordaustlandet, named Lomfjorden. This was the first independent expansion of the new nation, and cemented the new nation's dominant role in the islands.

Cities (Svalbard)

Longyearbyen

Formation

ThundorLord spent just under a week gathering the gold necessary to form the future capital, burying the gold to prevent it from being stolen. It was founded on the exact spot where Longyearbyen is in the real world.

Growth

Not long after it's founding, the town began to expand, as the town expanded slowly, a few players joined, (most of the now 'Lords'). These players would help fund the nation. During the save up for the nation, Longyearbyen put expansion on hold, as all funds, and all resident's gold would go towards Nationhood. After Nationhood was reached, Longyearbyen began expanding rapidly, in population, and territory size. The capital has reached a size of 145 chunks. The current population is 5.

Other info

Longyearbyen is where the majority of the population of Svalbard lives, and where most national trade takes place as it is /n spawn. Longyearbyen used to be the world's northernmost Capital City.

Svenskoya

Then he announced his plans about rebuilding ruins of the Old Republic to Thundorlord. He agreed and contributed with more gold. Orhil had renamed it to Olavia, then Tocantis renamed it Snowfortbyen.

Growth

As of today, Olavia consists of 1 residents and 43 chunks. That makes it the fifth largest city on Svalbard. Lopatomil sold the town to Orhil1003, so that he could go create Liberia in Western Africa. Orhil1003 later sold it so he could create his own town, to Tocantis, who himself renamed it to Snowfortbyen

Government

The Oligarchy

Svalbard's current government was installed on May 2, 2020. The government is intended to delegate an extreme amount of power to the nobles, primarily due to the King leaving on April 8 of that year. During this period, Svalbard's leaders assembled in a council popularly known as the oligarchy. Mayors were automatically allowed in the oligarchy once their activity was confirmed, and other citizens could be introduced with an 80% vote. The oligarchy was ruled by a head oligarch, who operated polling within the system. Polls were the primary means of communication, leading to attempted intervention in Russia and Groenland that went nowhere. The oligarchy existed only in name after May 11, 2020.
