Flatstone

OVERVIEW

The Kingdom of Flatstone was formed in 1891, after Nordic pillagers that were living on the archipelago established a society. Flatstone remained a monarchy until 1933, when the Shale Massacre occurred. Nationalism had grown support throughout the early 20's and 30's, and a revolution 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, and 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 Almeyynia. The province was lost after the monarchy was abolished, and it is now considered the fourth province, Flatstone has claims on this territory.
