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.

Nemonos, then a part of Iowa, was a site of heavy logging during the settlement of the American Midwest in the 1800s. After most of the trees were removed attempts to farm the area were met with failure as the soil was too poor and rocky. As a result, the area returned to a forested state until urban development began in the 1950s-1960s.
-
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.

[[Image:Maria Theresia.jpg|upright|left|thumb|150px|Habsburg Empress Maria Theresia]]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 Theresia, 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.
+
Beginning in the 1950s suburban growth in most major American cities commenced in earnest. There were some who felt this was the wrong direction for cities to go and began a movement to build a 'better city'. This movement eventually resulted in the founding of the [[Nemonos City|City of Nemonos]] in 1960. The city was built along the shores of Lake Nemonos at the mouth of the Nemon River. This was felt to be an optimal site for both industrial expansion as well as for transportation.

[[Image:First ships.jpg|thumb|Right|200px|First ships to discover Liberty 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.
+
-
The British, the French, and the Dutch after recieving the news of the discovery sent forces to the islands. In the Seven Years' War after the exploration the British navy attacked the islands in order to conqer it and support Britain's Atlantic domination. In the year 1762, the British plans failed, as the coalition of Sweden, Austria and Naples reinforced the islands with Austrian and Swedish forces. The Austrian forces mainly consisted of Hungarian troops as Austrian troops were in the continental Europe fighting with the Prussians. The islands being as a far away piece of land without any infrastructure didn't have any more important role in the Seven Years' War.
+
-
After the loss of Silesia, The Austrian Empire decided to develope the islands as part of a future bridgehead for expansions. Seeing this as an act of aggression, the British threatened with an invasion. All Atlantic sea power wanted to conqer the islands but in that case the balance of power would tilt and end up in an Atlantic war and nobody wanted that, so the Swedish and Austrians could freely build up a little colony on the middle of the ocean.
+
-
When the American colonies of Britain revolted, the British had to support their troops and Liberty Islands was a perfect place for storing and transfer materials between ships. The local governate of the islands made the decision without agreeing with the court in Vienna that the ports of the islands will be free not for the British but for everybody. The local people thought it will be the end as lifting the restrictions and customs will left them without any wealth. The opposite happened: Liberty Islands became a trading port for every nations ships and it quickly started to develope. This time the sailors and traders named the Maria Theresia Land Liberty Islands. The Austrians seeing that they lost the grip on the land prepared for a military reinforcement that would restore the emperor's rule over the islands. After a point it stoped as it would end up in a war between every Atlantic trading nation and Austria, so the islands were left in autonomy and nominal Austrian rule. This time the oppressed Hungarians started to flee to land of liberty, but only in small numbers.

=== Urban Expansion ===
-
As Napoleon raised as the new ruler of Europe, the balance of power disappeared and Liberty Islands and Great Britain were targeted by Napoleon. Napoleon couldn't block the sea trade of Britain and Liberty Islands after loosing the Battle of Trafalgar (were a few ship of Liberty Islands fought along with the British) so he made the Continental Blockade which harmed Britain but harmed very much Liberty Islands. Without the European corn and meat a huge famine broke out. While emptying the strategic store, the leadership of the island decided to upgrade the local agriculture and industry in order to make the islands independent from abroad materials. The council of leaders had a very tough dispute about the rest of corn reserves, but after a vote they stoped giving rations to the people and started ordering planting seeds on the new lands. The citizens of the cities lynched some of the council members while hundreds died in the femine. Anarchy broke out in the towns and the local guards was sent to the countryside were hunger wasn't strong and state rule was intact. In the winter of 1808 the sailors in [[Szabadrév]] grabbed weapons and attacked on the town hall and administration. This was the Sailors' Winter Revolution in 1808, they set up commune rule in the city, broke down the civilian anarchy, collected the food stores of the richer and started again the food rations. The Imperial Guards withdraw to the countryside. On the summer of 1809 the new crop ended the famine on the countryside and in the smaller towns, except [[Szabadrév]]. Being not strong enough, the Imperial Guard didn't attack on the city. The Commune of [[Szabadrév]] didn't want to surronder so the Commune Council agreed with the governor to keep the city under commune power but leting the administration and the other people to enter the city and restore Imperial rule. This was a historic alliance between the Imperial Governate and the Commune of [[Szabadrév]]. In 1810 the agreement was extended and larger cities like Novgorod, Vosztok, Révkút, Délviharos established their own city commune rule and the commune army blended in the Imperial Guard.
+
Nemonos City grew quickly due to its prime location. The completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway to Lake Nemonos resulted in significant port related developments in the region. Major port construction began in the 1970s with the Port of Nemonos and again in the 1990s with the Port of Sunset Beach. Oil Refining became a major industry in the region during this period with the construction of the enormous [[Martinsdale Oil Refinery]].
-
After ending the Napoleonic wars Liberty Islands started prospering again. The [[Szabadrév]] Commune and the Imperial Governate along with the Civilian Union established the institute of Senate, where all parties could negotiate and make decisions.

[[Image:Ogy1848.jpg|thumb|250px|Joint session of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies]]When the Hungarian wheat prosperity ended and the landowner nobles left without cash and the Hungarian peasants saw the coming times of poverty started to migrate to other places, like the Liberty Islands. This was the first wave of Hungarian migration to Liberty Islands. They were welcomed because agricultural workers were needed. Because of trade and developed civil society, economical evolution started. The capital appeared in the economy.

Revolutions broke out in 1830s Europe-widely. The influence of civil revolutions reached the communes and the Civil Union of Liberty Islands and they started new debates in the Senate about more freedom and more rights. The Imperial Governate wasn't weak as in the beginning of the 19th century so the Imperial Guard arrested the Senate members and strict imperial rule was restored. The Commune Sailors were trapped in the ports of [[Szabadrév]] and the Siege of [[Szabadrév]] Port started in August, 1847. On Christmas Eve, the Imperial Guard (enforced with countryside conscripts) broke the siege of the hungry sailors. The survivors were executed and the imperial terror arrested more key figures of the civilian resistance. In March, 1848, the Hungarian Revolution broke out in Budapest, and the key figures requested to lift the imperial terror from Liberty Islands. When the news reach [[Szabadrév]], the dissatisfied mobs revolted too. The Imperial Governate had to negotiate with the mobs and the Senate was opened again. From this point the Liberty Islands Senate followed the Hungarian events. They affirmed the April Laws of 1848. The Hungarian Independence war broke out when the Croatian forces of Jelacic attacked the Hungarian troops. This time the, the National Guard was established by the Senate. The Imperial Guard disbanded without any fight and the draft of new conscripts started to reinforce the troops in Europe. Lajos Batthyány Prime Minister of Hungary recognized Liberty Islands as another two county of the country, and entrusted the Liberty Islands Senate to govern the islands. Delegates from the islands were sent to Budapest to the National Assembly.

On the day of April 14th, 1849, the National Assembly in Debrecen proclaimed the independence of Hungary and the dethronement of Habsburg Emperor Franz Josef. Lajos Kossuth become the Governor-president of the Constitutional Kingdom of Hungary, by this he became the leader of Liberty Islands too.
+
-
The Russian intervention in the Independence War made the victory impossible. In August 11, 1849, Lajos Kossuth resign as Governor-president and hands this position to General Artúr Görgei, who capitulates to the Imperial Russian Army on August 13, 1849 at Világos.

Liberty Islands became one of the last holdouts of the revolution and of the independent Hungary. Until the end of 1849, all European holdout put down the weapon except Liberty Islands which refuses to do so. The Imperial Russian Navy sends a group of ships with a little army onboard to break down the opposition in Liberty Islands. The islands prepares: the National Guard fortifies some of the large towns and all ships were recalled to the ports. The Hungarian Navy was en route to Hungary on the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, the islands were left without a navy. On September 1, 1849, the Russian troops land and the most Eastern point of the Norhern island. Troops along with the Prussian reinforcement march in Vosztok (mostly Russian town at that time). The invasion forces clash with the National Guard on the plains near the port town of [[�jrév]] on October 12th. The National Guard were informed of the execution of the revolution's leader in Arad on October 6th, so the morale went very high and the Russo-Prussian expeditional forces were smashed by the poorly armed Hungarian National Guard. The capitulating forces were given amnesty and the Russian troops offered the chance to settle down in Liberty Islands. The Battle of �jrév was the only land battle fought on Liberty Islands' soil.

The Senate declared Liberty Islands as the only independent part of Hungary and the Habsburg leadership declared Liberty Islands as a renegate territory, but admitted its independence. Lajos Kossuth and the fleeing people went to Liberty Islands.

Beginning around the turn of the 21st century a growing divide within the Iowa state government over the Nemonos' place. Nemonos is very culturally distinct from the rest of Iowa. Nemonos' state reps frequently clashed with others for the rest of the state. In 2007 the statehood movement took to the mainstream in Nemonos and rallied the US congress to pass a bill that would cede the Nemonos-Headwaters Region from the state of Iowa and form a new independent state. The bill was passed with near unanimity on November 24th, 2007 in all levels of the US Government.

The first elections of the new state were held on December 1, 2007. The Democratic Party won the majority of seats in the State House of Representatives and State Senate. The capital was established as [[Fairfax, Nemonos]], then a small city in Riverton County. The government quickly established a presence and the city grew rapidly to become the 2nd most populous in the state, behind Nemonos City. Currently the state is dealing with issues ranging from uncontrolled suburban expansion of the Nemonos Metropolitan Area to lack of electrical generating capacity.

-
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." (QEC: Qumma Executive Council; LI: Liberty Islands)

Liberty Islands Air Force (LIAF) operates all the aerial forces of the Liberty Islands, including air cargo, airborne refueling, airborne reconassiance and AEW, fighters and attack bombers.
+
The geography of Nemonos is dominated by forest. The land is low-lying and rocky. This results in an abundance of rivers due to quick runoff, but little arable land. As a result, agriculture is a non-factor in the State. The 3 main rivers in the state are (in order of size): the [[Nemon River]], the Ott River, and the Saigon River.
-
The LIAF operates 2 airfields, and the civilian airports are also in use.

The National Guard is the oldest and still existing military force of Liberty Islands. It was established for the defence of Hungary in 1848. After the independence of Liberty Islands its mission was to secure the land of the islands and in the case of Hungarian revolution it would provide armed support. This idea is questioned as Liberty Islands is located thousands of kilometres from Hungary and can't send troops to the Carpathian Basion quickly. Today the National Guard has a two infantry regiments. The 1st National Guard Regiment has the objective to secure Liberty Islands executive, legislative and judical organizations and to provide protocol appearance. Te 2nd National Guard Regiment is under the command of the Governor-president. The rest of the National Guard is a reserve force of another undisclosed number of regiments.

State of Nemonos: The State of Nemonos is a state located along the western shores of Lake Nemonos in the midwestern United States. The state is named after its largest City, Nemonos City, which is in turn named after the Nemon River which runs West-East through the state into Lake Nemonos. The capital city is Fairfax. The population, according to the 2007 census, is 1,000,754. Nemonos is the 51st State to join the Union having been cut out of the State of Iowa in an act of Congress on Dec 1, 2007.

[edit] History

[edit] Early times

Nemonos, then a part of Iowa, was a site of heavy logging during the settlement of the American Midwest in the 1800s. After most of the trees were removed attempts to farm the area were met with failure as the soil was too poor and rocky. As a result, the area returned to a forested state until urban development began in the 1950s-1960s.


[edit] Settlement

Beginning in the 1950s suburban growth in most major American cities commenced in earnest. There were some who felt this was the wrong direction for cities to go and began a movement to build a 'better city'. This movement eventually resulted in the founding of the City of Nemonos in 1960. The city was built along the shores of Lake Nemonos at the mouth of the Nemon River. This was felt to be an optimal site for both industrial expansion as well as for transportation.

[edit] Urban Expansion

Nemonos City grew quickly due to its prime location. The completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway to Lake Nemonos resulted in significant port related developments in the region. Major port construction began in the 1970s with the Port of Nemonos and again in the 1990s with the Port of Sunset Beach. Oil Refining became a major industry in the region during this period with the construction of the enormous Martinsdale Oil Refinery.

The Nemonos City Metro Area is the largest in the state.

[edit] Push for Statehood

Beginning around the turn of the 21st century a growing divide within the Iowa state government over the Nemonos' place. Nemonos is very culturally distinct from the rest of Iowa. Nemonos' state reps frequently clashed with others for the rest of the state. In 2007 the statehood movement took to the mainstream in Nemonos and rallied the US congress to pass a bill that would cede the Nemonos-Headwaters Region from the state of Iowa and form a new independent state. The bill was passed with near unanimity on November 24th, 2007 in all levels of the US Government.

[edit] State of Nemonos

The first elections of the new state were held on December 1, 2007. The Democratic Party won the majority of seats in the State House of Representatives and State Senate. The capital was established as Fairfax, Nemonos, then a small city in Riverton County. The government quickly established a presence and the city grew rapidly to become the 2nd most populous in the state, behind Nemonos City. Currently the state is dealing with issues ranging from uncontrolled suburban expansion of the Nemonos Metropolitan Area to lack of electrical generating capacity.

[edit] Independent Pact of Nations

Liberty Investment Group's US headquarters in Saigon, Nemonos.

Nemonos was invited to join the IPON by Liberty Islands in late 2007. Although the official date of joining is Nov 24, 2007 it is believed that negotiations were ongoing significantly before Nemonos had official powers to have them. This was never regarded as a significant issue as the Nemonos Statehood Bill was already in the works in the US Capital.

Nemonos joined the Independent Initiative of Nuclear Aid on December 26, 2007. The aim of this IPON initiative is to spread nuclear energy to all member states. Nemonos already has 2 operational nuclear generating stations and the initiative is expected to construct at least 1 additional plant in an appropriate location in Nemonos State. Once the deal was completed the Liberty Investment Group built its US headquarters in Saigon, Nemonos.

[edit] Economy

Nemonos has a diversified economy with the majority being service related. Nemonos City is a financial hub for the Midwest behind only Chicago in terms of international importance in the region. Several major US and International Banks have national and regional offices here. Heavy and manufacturing industries are also major employers, especially in the northern city of Madison. High Tech industry is very well established in the state with numerous connections to local Universities. With the establishment of the state capital in Fairfax government became a significant employment force in the state as well.

[edit] Trade

[edit] Technology and research

Nemonos is a major center of research and development in both high tech and traditional industries. the Jamieland Oil Company (JOC) has its US Headquarters in Nemonos City and is also the owner of the Martinsdale Oil Refinery. The JOC is well regarded in the energy industry for its R&D pracitices and its local operations are some of the most environmentally conscious in the industry.

[edit] Human resources and education

Nemonos is home to several major research universities. The 2 largest are the University of Nemonos, which is located in Nemonos City, and Nemonos State University, which is located in Fairfax.

[edit] Energy

Although Nemonos is not a producer of energy products the state's large petroleum refining industry exports most of its production.

[edit] Military

There is 1 minor military base located at the old airport in Cairn. There is speculation that a top secret military establishment is located in the forests somewhere in the state but apart from an anonymous report released to the local media no conclusive evidence of the facility exists.

[edit] Geography

The geography of Nemonos is dominated by forest. The land is low-lying and rocky. This results in an abundance of rivers due to quick runoff, but little arable land. As a result, agriculture is a non-factor in the State. The 3 main rivers in the state are (in order of size): the Nemon River, the Ott River, and the Saigon River.

[edit] Climate

Nemonos has a continental climate typical of the surrounding Midwest. Its proximity to Lake Nemonos has a moderating effect resulting in cooler summers and warmer winters. Generally summer temperatures are around 25-30°C and winter ranges around -10°C.
