The legend of the country's founding is that a ship's captain, William Sutherland, had a dream about the island. He saw an angel which told him that he was going to be shipwrecked on it with his crew and that of a Spanish ship, and that he shouldn't try to come back home-contact with the outside world would come in time-rather, he should establish a society there.
 
It has won one Nobel Prize: in literature. The winner, Susaina Brograve (1935-2009), was born in Fourland, spent most of her life there and considered the archipelago to be her home, but also, went to boarding school in the US.
 
The language which is spoken on it is called Fourlandish in English, and Cancaumma by its speakers. It is the descendent of a mix of Spanish and English mostly with some Gaelic influences. It is generally classified as a Romance language overall. It is the language all schools instruction and teaching is in.
 
An important, unique part of Fourlandish culture is the Puzulia. They are for smoking the drug, native to Fourland, of Toseiten, often while reading and discussing various topics with companions. It was traditionally a circular, one-room building, but now, they usually contain three rooms, which can vary in size. There are five Puzulias in Fourland, as well as one overseas. They will contain a number of chairs, equipment and bookcases with books usually, as well as a toilet in some versions.
 
The country has a tourist cap of 200 visitors per month. There is one very small international airport in the country, but around 80% of visitors come by boat.
There are only two roads in the country's major settlement, Puert Bleu. Most people walks to most places there. However, there is a highway going through other parts of the North-East Island, and a number of smaller roads from that highway leading into a number of scattered farms, hamlets and villages.
 
The country said in 2019 that they would recognize South Ossetia and Abkhazia if a number of certain conditions were met, that is, that Abkhazia, at least, was not absorbed into Russia, and that the two states enter with Georgia into a "close, mutually-benefiting union organization reducing the negative effects of Balkanization within any country".
