'''Flatstone''' (Northern Ivili: '''Vedşotī'''), or officially known as the '''Second Kingdom of Flatstone''' (Northern Ivili: '''Vedşotī Lege Kosīdugā'''), is an isolationist nation located in Southeastern Thrismari, [[Anteria]]. The nation shares a maritime border with both [[Kentalis]] and [[Zhousheng]] to the north, and another maritime border with [[Morrawia]] to the south. [[Vedotī]] is both Flatstones's capital and largest city, possessing religious ancestry as well as being the first permanent settlement on the archipelago. Other major cities may include; Onlo, Umudīn, Suntuga, Umoko, Īnbā, and Kumonlān. The name "Flatstone" was coined by the nations founder, [[Ejek Vedotin]] amidst the [[Ejek Vedotins War]]. It was derived from the term "Geologism", commonly used to refer to Ejek Vedotins "national religion", which would be successfully spread throughout the archipelago following the conclusion of Ejek Vedotins War.


The status of the Stonish person is defined by the faith that they follow. Flatstone, ruled by a religiously intolerant and authoritarian monarch, is dominated by the Geologist faith, a religion unique to the Stonish Archipelago. Despite the kings efforts, other faiths exist throughout Flatstone as minorities, including various branches of Catholicism, as well as Athiesm and other less significant local religions and denominations of Geology. It is estimated the no more than 40,000 have been made victims of Proselytism by the Stonish crown since 2011.


==Government==
Flatstone identifies as a "federal monarchy" under the guise that the four kingdoms of the Stonish Archipelago and their peoples govern themselves autonomously and without direct interference from the Northern Ivili Clan, however, King Dag Von Stone of the Northern Ivili Clan and Flatstone collectively has violated this clause time and time again since his rise to power, most notably in the aftermath of the Stonish Civil War in 2011 when the independence of the Taverkny Clan was violated by his coalition troops and their efforts to reunite the four kingdoms under the monarchy after the fall of Flatstones republican government (circa 1960-2011).

===1791-1810 The Flatstone Civil War===
= History =
The history of Flatstone began on the 21st of September, 1791. When one of the two nomadic pillager groups settled onto an island in the middle of the Marmor Sea. This group called themselves the "Livløs" and spoke only Norwegian. They had a small force of around 400 men, although once 2,000 strong, countless failed attempts at pillaging had resulted in their dwindling numbers. These men had decided that enough was enough and now that they had become a known threat, they had no other place to run but the inhabited island located in the middle of the Marmor Sea. Three years had passed by the time any civilization was established, and by 1794, an estimate of five small towns/settlements were established across the northwest part of the island. By late 1794, another one of the two nomadic pillager groups had received word about the recently discovered uninhabited island, and they saw an opportunity. The next tribe to arrive on the island established their first settlement on the southeast part of the island and laid claim to some of the coastal islands further west. These would become known as the "Bergensere" and were infamous to foreign nations for being ruthless and unforgiving. Although they had an advantage over the Livløs, and that advantage was numbers. The Bergensere had not taken as many losses as the Livløs had in previous raids because of superior experience and equipment.
=== [[Premodern History of Flatstone|Premodern History]] ===


Both clans would go on to expand into the eastern territory, with the Bergensere expanding a small distance to the west and the Livløs expanding a small distance to the south. But before the entire southwest could be annexed by the two growing clans the Livløs split into two because of the monarchy that had been put into place, giving the leaders of the Livløs clan the majority of the supplies that their people desperately needed. The third clan that would emerge would call themselves the "Frigjørere", or Liberators. The Frigjørere and the Livløs would be involved in multiple border clashes over the course of thirteen years, even though they were fighting a war of attrition without enough supply to feed their men, let alone their people, these clashes would continuously happen throughout 1797-1799 and would result in the deaths of around 3,000 civilians and pillagers alike. These clashes are remembered as the "Breen Mountain Conflicts". By 1801, the Bergensere would have taken all of the western islands, and expanded halfway into the north, along with into one of the settlements that had been built by the Frigjørere. After three more years of constant stalemates, a fourth pillager clan arrived in the northeast after foreigners from the nation of Fallooplesburg that had sought religious refuge and safety from the civil war that was going on in 1804. Although because of the Bergenseres superior equipment, experience, and numbers, they had been invaded and annexed by the Bergensere by 1806, with many of their citizens massacred during the conflict. This would give the Bergensere a giant advantage over the other two nations that had already been starved of both men and supplies because of multiple conflicts internally and between each other. Preparations for war were made with the other two tribes throughout 1806 and 1807, as the Bergensere aimed to let the settlements that were massacred in 1805 recover, and by mid-1808, the invasions had begun into the south of the Frigjørere Clan, but with the large army of the Bergensere that had been met with almost no resistance, the Frigjørere was unable to react. They would end up collapsing under the intense pressure of the Bergensere.
=== [[Medieval History of Flatstone|Medieval History]] ===


The Livløs were dumbfounded at the sight of the Bergensere Clan being able to wipe out an enemy that the Livløs couldn't beat in 11 years, and they were in no way prepared to face the army of 6,000 men marching into their cities at alarming rates. Their men were squashed like bugs by August of 1809, and by 1810, the leaders of the Livløs Clan had already been publicly hanged. The Bergensere had successfully reunited the province of what would now be known as Flatstone under one rule, after 13 years of Civil War. This conflict would come to be known as the Flatstone Civil War.
=== [[Modern History of Flatstone|Modern History]] ===


===1811-1840 Recovery and Colonization===
= [[Stonish Armed Forces|Military]] =
By the time 1811 had rolled around, the Bergensere had only just began the recovery of their tarnished island. Most of the citizens that hadn't been massacred were welcomed with open arms once the civil war had ended, not including Fallooplesburg immigrants, who would go on to be oppressed until the beginning of the 18th century. The leaders of the Bergensere Clan knew that the whole concept of a pillager clan was out of the question, and one of their top priorities should be to establish a functional government. By 1812, all territories of the province Steinøy were now discovered and controlled by the Bergensere. Along with this, a monarchy had been established, with the highest leader of the Bergensere Clan claiming the throne for himself. During this time, around 95% of the population spoke Norwegian, and were considered ethnic Stoenians. Because of this, it wasn't hard for the King of Flatstone to give the people a reason to unite, and the people of the island put up almost no resistance. Instead, they began to rebuild their settlements that had been plundered during the war. Ports also began to be constructed along the coastline of the island, and small military fortifications for the former men of the Bergensere were constructed throughout the isles. By 1814, society had almost completely recovered from the war and had managed to move on and accept their annexation. In November 13th, the Bergensere Clan named the territory they currently owned the Steinøy province, and turned it's force of 3,000 men into a small army. This would mark the beginning of the Steinhær. On December 26th of 1814, the Monarchy announced that the clan of the Bergensere would now be known as the Kingdom of Flatstone, and created the Flatstone Royal Family, made up of direct descendents of the King. This group of Flatstone royalty had the most authority throughout the country, and were considered figures of high importance. On January 1st of 1815, the capital of Flatstone was declared to be the city of Shale, located on the western most tip of the island.
=== [[Stonish Army]] ===


A whole year of peace and political silence passed, until the idea of exploration further expansion in the Marmor Sea was brought up in late 1816. The Monarchy saw this as an amazing oppurtunity, and began the construction of a navy right away. They managed to finish 52 ships of varied sizes by February 17th of 1817 and had already scheduled expiditions to set out to the north of the island. A small set of isles was discovered on May 21st, and the expiditionary force established a settlement on the southernmost island. Word got back to the Monarchy, and the Royal Family decided to annex the islands and claim them as territory of the Kingdom of Flatstone. These islands would later become known as the Kongeøyene province, or "The Kings Isles".
=== [[Royal Stonish Navy]] ===


In 1818, the monarchy of Flatstone had heard about the civil war in the syrgystani empire, and the Monarchy saw this as a perfect chance to expand their influence further north. Preparations were made for an invasion into the territories, with the construction of around 10 more ships taking place, and mass recruitment into the Steinhær. At this time (i.e. June 10th 1818) the population of Flatstone was nearing 30,000, and the army had recruited up to 6,000 men, the majority of which were veterans of the Flatstone Civil War, and all of which were very experienced. A port was constructed in October in the Kings Isles, and a large portion of the Flatstone Navy was stationed there for the upcoming invasion. When 1919 rolled around, the Monarchy ordered it's invasion force to start pillaging New Sarmathia and Syrgystania, and over 56 different landings would be made throughout the northern coastline of the Marmor Sea. The Steinhær would end up occupying all of New Sarmathia's coastline, and half of Syrgystans coastline while only taking around 2,500 losses over the course of the next 5 years. By 1824, the civil war had ended and the pillaging of the coastline had stopped. The last landing was made on December 19th of 1823, and Flatstone now occupied the majority of the former Sygrystani Empire coastline. Over the course of the next two years, the Monarchy was extremely oppressive on Sarmathian and Syrgystani civillians in the region, and many settlements were torched by the Monarchy. This brought harm not only to the civillians but also to the Flatstone civillians who had migrated to the colony. The coastline would be seperated into two provinces. One province was made up of the New Sarmathian coastline, and the other was made of Syrgystani coastline. The Sarmathian province was called "Okkupert", and the Syrgystani province was called "Østlandene".

Flatstone (Northern Ivili: Vedşotī), or officially known as the Second Kingdom of Flatstone (Northern Ivili: Vedşotī Lege Kosīdugā), is an isolationist nation located in Southeastern Thrismari, Anteria. The nation shares a maritime border with both Kentalis and Zhousheng to the north, and another maritime border with Morrawia to the south. Vedotī is both Flatstones's capital and largest city, possessing religious ancestry as well as being the first permanent settlement on the archipelago. Other major cities may include; Onlo, Umudīn, Suntuga, Umoko, Īnbā, and Kumonlān. The name "Flatstone" was coined by the nations founder, Ejek Vedotin amidst the Ejek Vedotins War.
