Not much is known about history before the Norish showed up, however it is known that multiple Germanic tribes had been in the area since 8,000 BC, as small pieces of germanic-based bronze coins that were scattered all over modern-day Lankterlerp. There was also found evidence that a pre-historic Kurzish tribe was in the area, directly west of the island they inhabit, historians therefore believe that the Germanic tribes kicked them out and forced them onto the island early on in their history.

Lankterlerp, officially the Kingdom of Lankterlerp (Norish: Kúngeriket Lankterlerp, Kurzi: Kungsinrike Lankeserp), is a nation located in southern Thrismari, and borders the nations of East Alyeska, Hiblund, Frarstizk, and Bro Wyned. Counting sea borders, it also borders Etheria Roshni. Recently, there have been talks for the eastern most island, the home of the Kurzi people, and Lankterlerp to form an official union, where as right now Kurzi only holds autonomy. The name of which would be the Norish Realm, however talks are still ongoing, and it is only a concept.
An industrialised exporter of agricultural produce in the second half of the 19th century, Lankterlerp introduced social and labour-market reforms in the early 20th century, which formed the basis for the present welfare state model and advanced mixed economy.
Lankterlerp is a highly developed country. with a high standard of living: the country performs at high measures of education, health care, civil liberties, democratic governance and LGBTQ rights. Lankterlerp maintains close political, cultural, and linguistic ties with its neighbours, with Norish being partially mutually intelligible with parts of Frarstizk, and Etheria Roshni.
Also, their national animal is the Crowned Swan.
Etymology
The etymology of the name "Lankterlerp", the relationship between "Norish" and "Lankterlerp", and the emergence of Lankterlerp as a unified kingdom are topics of continuous scholarly debate. Mainly the part where the Norish still refer to themselves as Norish, and not Lankterlerpian. However, its likely just to salute their ancestors.
Also, the name Lankterlerp is based on the name of the Duchy of Lanker, which was the leading Duchy in the Norish Confederation. After the Perian wars, Lankterlerp, as a last sign of victory, took the Perian word for "leap", which was lerp. He also borrowed another word, "glora", which meant "glory", and called his Kingdom "Lankerlerpglora", literally "Lanker leaps for glory". Since then, it's been modernized to its modern name.

Not much is known about history before the Norish showed up, however it is known that multiple Germanic tribes had been in the area since 8,000 BC, as small pieces of germanic-based bronze coins that were scattered all over modern-day Lankterlerp. There was also found evidence that a pre-historic Kurzish tribe was in the area, directly west of the island they inhabit, historians therefore believe that the Germanic tribes kicked them out and forced them onto the island early on in their history.
