The Kingdom of Flatstone was formed in 1791 after nordic pillagers that were living on the archipelago established a society. These pillagers established a monarchic system in 1796, and had a Royal Family known as the "Family of Stone". These monarchs had a tight grip over the country up until the mid 17th century when other ideologies began to gain support. Flatstone remained a monarchy until 1933 when the Shale Massacre occurred. Nationalism had grown support throughout the early '20s and '30s, leading up to a revolution that occurred during October of 1933, when the monarchy was overthrown by the Nationalist Party of Flatstone, and was abolished entirely. Nationalist rule over Flatstone didn't last long, because only 6 years later, the Democratic Party of Flatstone assassinated the leader of the Nationalist Party and won the elections of 1940. Although the Nationalist Party lost the 1940 elections and the majority of its support, it still remains as a "Major" party in Flatstone.
In 1898 the raider groups that helped to establish a society were turned into a small military force, this military force would come to be known as the Steinhær. This force would go on to expand Flatstones territory further north and south of the Archipelago, annexing islands that are now controlled by Senshen and Almeyynia. These territories were lost after the monarchy was abolished, and they are now considered the fourth and fifth provinces, Flatstone has claims on both of these territories.

The history of Flatstone began on the 21st of September, of 1791. When one of the four 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 past 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 when another one of these nomadic pillager groups had recieved word about the recently discovered uninhabited island, and they saw an oppurtunity. The next tribe to arrive on the island established their first settlement on the southeat part of the island, and laid claim to some of the coastal islands further west. These would be come to 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.


Both tribes 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 tribes, the Livløs split into two because of a system of monarchy that they had established, giving the leaders of the Livløs clan the majority of the supplies that their people desperately needed. The third tribe 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 two years, even though they were fighting a war of attrition without supply to feed their men, let alone their people. These clashes would take place through 1797-1799, and would results in the deaths of around 3,000 people, civillians 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 has seeked religious refuge and safety from the 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 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 eachother. 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 marching through every settlement, met with almost no resistance, the Frigjørere was unable to react, and collapsed under the pressure of the Bergensere.


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 tribe had already been publicly hanged. The Bergensere had succesfully 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.

Norwegian has always been the first and major language of Flatstone, it being recognized as the official language of Flatstone in 1799 by the Family of Stone, because of the large population that had spoken it. It was also widely taught throughout schools, and was probably the most accessible language throughout the country at the time. Norwegian remains the main language and most common language throughout Flatstone.
