Styliland

The Republic of Styliland is a reasonably big archipelago nation (5north+3east+2south+1middle(+1midnorth)=12 islands) situated below Greenland.

Natives
It is supposed that people migrating to America stopped at these islands. Some ended up staying in the islands, drawing in caves later submerged by rising waters.

Arrival of the Portuguese
In 1566, while avoiding a huge storm, the Portuguese saw a big isle on the Horizon, staying there for a few days. The days were unknown but assuming it was on the archipelago's storm season, the Lusitan Days (or Dias Lusitanos) are celebrated from June 8 to June 11. (June 8 being "Dia da Chegada", Day of Arrival, June 10 being "Dia de Portugal" and June 11 being "Dia da Partida", Departure Day)

Later, in 1572, by the King Philip I, a colony was founded in the place they arrived. The zone was called "Terra do Horizonte" (renamed "Terras" after the discovery of the 2 (discovered to be 3 later) Eastern Islands in 1596 and 1599.

The Horizo-Spanish war
After a few years with Philip III on the throne, he transferred Horizenland (as it was known by the British) from Portugal to Spain's ownership in 1609. This frustrated both the Portuguese living there and the Horizers/Horizians. In 1610, he started taxing everything, especially fishing, the main culture of the country filled with rivers and ocean. In 1611, the "União dos Marinheiros" is created, declaring war on Spain in 1615, being supported by England. Their independence became a reality in 1624, but not for much time.

The British Colony of Horizenland
One year later, in 1624 an English army of 14 000 men followed and killed the 339 members of "U.M." controlling the country, declaring it a colony. This was a short lived colony that eventually got liberated by the British themselves in 1649 (being readquired in 1652) and later in 1701.

Invasions
Britain left Horizenland without any preparation for their previous colony. Because of this, they were militarily unprepared and received many invasions and a crisis (Crisis of 1703 - 1719)
 * Danish Invasions of Horizenland
 * Danish Invasion of June 1703 (Ataque da Época dos Festejos, 1 600 men)

Crisis (1703 - 1719)
During this time, Horizenland had no official leading bodies and was highly divided into small factions.

The 1st King (King Anthony, 1719-1743, 33-57, 24 years on Power)
In February 1719, a 33 year old boy named "Alberto António Teres Oriol Ribeira Ameiro Cocks-Vletcher", descendent of british people, declared himself along with 15 000 other people the King of the new Reino de Novo Horizonte.

He was only declared king in a refferendum in 1722, by the 991 000 people living there at the time. Only 347 115 (or 347 018) people voted which leads historians to believe not everyone was given the information about the referendum.

He discovered in 1730 the Northern Islands which led to developments in farming.

In 1733, he officially declared Portuguese the official language in a tentative to get financial help from Portugal. He did this successfully but many people (the Maritimians also called Nationalists or Fishermen) disagreed with these changes.

This ultimately led to, in 1734, his younger brother "Jullio Artur Teres Oriol Ribeira Ameiro Cocks-Vletcher" pouring poison in his brothers food with the help of UM. King Anthony ultimately discovered the cooks pouring poison in the food, not eating it and launching an investigation all over the country. The cooks were all put hanging. This did not serve anything because the UM attacked the securities in a visit to the North Isles in January 1736. Jullio judged Anthony dead and declared himself president. Anthony received this information and went to war with his brother. Jullio ended up winning due to having the countrie's army, killing Anthony in 1743.

King Arthur (1743-1747, 52-56, 4 years on Power)
Arthur was declared king in August 1743, 3 months after his brother's death. He put the country in misery after the crisis "officially" ended n 1734 and closed all relationships with other countries.

He died of the Horizian Decease of 1745, in October 1747, at the age of 56, leaving the throne to his daughter
