History of Gotneska

The History of Gotneska as a unified kingdom began in the 9th century, but historic documents describe the geographic area and the people living there the Götaí and Ruaíaí as early as 500 AD. These early documents include the writings of ?? and ??. With the Christianization of the Geats c. 660's AD, it is clear that there existed a kingship. Queen Sarah II can trace her lineage back to the Viking kings ?? and ?? from this time, thus making the Monarchy of Gotneska one of the oldest in Argis. The area now known as Gotneska has a rich prehistory, having been populated by several prehistoric cultures and people for about 10,500 to 8,000 years, since the end of the last ice age. But the first evidence of human presence in Gotneska is much earlier dating to around 45,000 years ago.

21st Century

On 10 October 2017, Princess Sarah was crowned Queen of Gotneska after the sudden death of her father. She is the first Queen to rule the nation since it’s founding in 1922 and fist Queen since her 3rd Great Grandmother Peyton IV ruled from 1840-1890.

On the 23rd November 2021, Queen Sarah II rejected a bill created by her father in early 2017. This was a massive win for her and the royal family as it hopefully changed the minds of people either that don't know which side to choose or those that were barely on the side of the Referendum. But this is still not over, as the Referendum has been squealed for the 22nd of June 2022. The Referendum will mostly become a major issue in the 2022 Deputy Prime Minister's Race.
