Lankterlerp, officially the Kingdom of Lankterlerp (Norish: Kúngeriket Lankterlerp, Kurzi: Kungsinrike Lankeserp), is a nation located in southern Anteria, 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.
History
Pre-History
Not much is known about history before the Norish showed up, however it is known that multiple Germanic tribes was in the area, as small pieces of bronze coins 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. However, like much of their history, it is only speculation.
History
Swan figurines, created by the Norish tribes.
- ===First Perian War===
- The Norish tribes had around 30.000 men in their army, whilst Peria had 18.000, however it is important to note that Peria was much richer and better organized than the Tribes, and therefore would see many victories and close victories in the war.
- The first war would last about 7 years, and resulted in 3 cities to the Norish tribes, and a truce for 20 years.
Second Perian War
After only 17 years after the conflict, the Norish and Perians found themselves at war yet again, however not much is known about this war, due to the burning of the Jervs Library, which is most that is known. It ended in a stalemate.
Third Perian War
About 6-7 years after the second conflict, a Third and better documented war came about, due to a mutual agreement that no important buildings would be destroyed. Before going deeper into it, it is important to note that the Norish tribes had officially banded together as a confederal monarchy, lead by the 3 newly conquered territories, which had formed the Kingdom of Lank, which ruled over all the smaller states. The war started when a Norish army, lead by King Julvind, invaded northern Peria, but struggled to make quick progress, as the forest there were excellent for defenders. Meanwhile, a Perian army of about 7.000 men began invading the western coast of the confederation, struggling from the same conditions as the Perian army from the north. However, the reasn why the Norish were so succesful to begin with, was due to their lack of care for nature or animals, and so began burning the trees, starting a forest fire which would destroy Perian crops, but also backfired when a fire erupted in some of the Norish settlements. But, it did clear the way, and now a Norish army of 13.000 was heading towards the Perian capital of Keners. An army of 15.000 Perians stopped them at the Battle of Kelvind
