History
The small and picturesque country of Sunnholt has been part of the cultural landscape of Europe since at least 1999, when the first recorded settlers moved into the area. Enriching their land with a mix of the ancient cultures of the British Isles and the continental Europeans, a culture of industry and progress was born.
The main city of the country, Windholme, became an important centre of trade and industry, and a bustling port. By 2000, the economy was growing and people were flocking to the area, establishing flourishing areas of industry and trade. Eventually, the small country declared its secession from United Kingdom.
In the early 2000s, King Aregal of the Royal House of Fairfaxes was crowned, and the kingdom entered an age of stability and progress under his rule. Under his leadership, Sunnholt made advances in the fields of technology, education, healthcare and infrastructure. With these advances, the kingdom flourished.
In the late 2000s, the kingdom suffered a major recession in industries such as tourism and shipping. However, the resourcefulness and resilience of the people of Sunnholt meant that the kingdom recovered quickly and is now a major player in Europe's economy, with a vibrant culture and active tourism.
In late 2007s, the country abolished monarchy in favour of a republic via referendum with an overwhelming majority voting.
The 2010s saw a boom in the digital world and Sunnholt was one of the first to capitalise on this. It became one of the most advanced countries in digital technology and has since become a global leader in many industries, such as finance and digital media.
Sunnholt today is a fast paced, developed, and vibrant nation with a strong economy and an exciting future. With its rich culture and history, the Kingdom of Sunnholt continues to be an important part of Europe and the world.
