History

Early times

It is said, but not proved that Liberty Islands was first discovered by the nordic vikings, while they went out on a discovering trip from the British Isles. Due to the proximity of the islands from the closest large landmass, most of the historians and archeologist believe that vikings weren't even able to travel that far on very open seas. Supporting the later mentioned theory no proved viking remains were found.

Until the exploration of America, no signs were recorded by traders or sails that they discovered the islands. After the European powers started regular Transatlantic ship routes there are records of a mysterious green land that sailors saw on the Atlantic while they were in the middle of the Atlantic. Liberty Islands slowly bacame a legend among sailors and traders. Legend because no one could register the exact location of the islands, and sometimes they couldn't even saw it due to the stormy or foggy weather. The another reasone why didn't any of the crew of those ships didn't discover this islands is that Liberty Islands didn't have any seagull population that could show clear signs of existing lands. Because of this, the exploration of the islands was accidental.

Exploration

The Austrian Empire rarely sent any ships to the Atlantic, as it costed too much travelling from the Adriatic Sea to the Mediterranean and to the Atlantic. Maria Theresa, the Empress of Austria decided help her ally and send troops by sea to North America where the French and Indian War were happening. This was during the Seven Years' War. The British Empire were informed about this and prepared to stop the Austrian ships at the Strait of Giblaltar, but they were late and couldn't catch the ships, then they followed them on the shores of Spain and on the middle of the Atlantic, but could catch up to fight them over. While this race the Austrian ships had to go norther and norhther (due to the actual course of the wind). During a tough storm the Austrian ships had the chance to escape their chasers and the British captains didn't risk to go after them. While the storm, the Austrian ships accidentally explored the Liberty Islands. 3 of the ships had sunk during the storm, but the 2 survivor could anchor at the shores of the islands and the Hungarian troops (the shores of Adriatic Sea was part of Croatia and by this, part of Hungary; so the Austrian navy basicly consisted of newly conscripted Hungarians) on the Austrian ships landed on the islands and they become the first men to see the islands. They were able to keep their secret as the British tought all of the 5 ships went under and discontinoued their efforts to catch the Austrian ships. Months later the new inhabitants of the the islands sent back one of the ships with the news, they luckly landed in France and could go back to the Austrian Empire to tell the great news. The Empress and the government didn't belive the stories, but a few of her Hungarian advisors finally had her promise to send more ships with Hungarian crew to the islands. The few dozen of the sailors and troops that were left on the islands survived until the new ships arrived. After more and more people recieved news about this, the British, the French, and the Dutch also sent forces to the Liberty Islands.

Qumma

Liberty Islands was one of the first countries to start official relations with the small West African state, Qumma. The Szekeres Harbour Contruction and Management Company competed for the huge contract of building the new Fursan Seaport in Qumma. Finally, the contract was won by the People's Socialist State of Odeschnya (PSSO). Although the lost contract for the Fursan Seaport, the Liberty Islands meeting with the QEC was about so much more. Potentially the single biggest investor in Qumma, the first act the delegation presented to the QEC was its proposal to lift all visa and working permit requirements on all Qumman citizens traveling or hoping to live in the North Atlantic state. "With the beginning of the official relationship between these two friendly nations has come the construction of the LI Embassy in Fursan, in order to further facilitate the growth of the relationship. As such, the Qumman Embassy is also under construction in LI, and the Qumman Ambassador to the Liberty Islands has already been assigned. The most important invest LI has made in Qumma, however, is the construction and partial management of the new University of Liberty Islands in Qumma, or ULIQ. Although most of the administration will be run by Qummans and the QEC, it will branched out of the LI's superior educational system, in the hopes that the very first university to open its doors in Qumma will mold its next generation into something special. In addition, LI has been presented with land to the north of Fursan to begin constructing a new foodstuff related factory. Although it will be small scale, it will distribute locally, and the QEC has also put forward a plan to help the company distribute in the region, to countries such as Senegal, Mauritania, Western Sahara, Gambia, and Cape Verde. The QEC has also mentioned that it will be opening its construction and development sector to LI companies, if agreed upon by the LI Investment Group. With the construction mini-boom taking place in Qumma, F.O.E.S Construction, the only registered development company owned by Qummans, is unable to keep up. Originally, the QEC has wanted to keep a very tight control policy on foreign construct and instead has sought to give the projects to Qumman companies, but the demand has far exceeded the supply. As such, the QEC will give way to two LI construction companies of their own choice, to begin operations in Fursan and Khaymeh."
