The Heartland

The Heartland is a middling sized nation located in Southeastern North America. It's economy is self-sufficient and environmentally friendly. It is ruled by the benevolent Warmongrel, and a member of SNAFU.

The Forging of a Nation
July 27th, 2008, a nation was born. Christened The Heartland, and dedicated to the memories of yesterday and the momentum of the 'morrow. That nation was recruited by Stetson76 to join an alliance, Tempest. While in Tempest, The Heartland grew in strength and knowledge, and soon came to understand the world in which it lived. On August 13th, 2008, Vox Populi and Heroes of Gaming declared war on Tempest and The Heartland. This later became known as War of the Coalition. With the help of allies and friends The Heartland was victorious.

The Neutral Era
Months after the War of the Coalition, after helping Tempest rebuild, The Heartland resigned from it's alliance. The ruler of The Heartland succumbed to the voices (Balthier, Confessor Rahl, and Jim Raynor) calling him to join them in the Green Protection Agency. Within the GPA, The Heartland sat contentedly for a few months, meeting new people, and learning a different aspect of Planet Bob. A few months later The Heartland found it's leader serving as GPA's Vice President, much to it's own chagrin. Warmongrel resigned from the GPA a day after his term was complete, no longer feeling content with the alliance and being unable to help it grow.

Situation Normal, All Fouled Up...
And it's alright with us. The Heartland found it's way to SNAFU an alliance that splintered from Tempest back in the day. There The Heartland thrives, near it's original friends and allies, and even inspired one of SNAFU's favorite treaties to happen with our friends in Olympus.

On December 27th, 2009, our peace was destroyed once more with the impending threat of the Blueballs War. Several days after the war began, on January 2, 2010, SNAFU declared war against Athens, \m/, and Global Order of Darkness on behalf of our allies in  The Phoenix Federation. The same day all of the alliances and nations involved found White Peace.

All was right in the world once more, until January 20th, a few days down the road. SNAFU is once again called into battle for our allies in Carpe Diem, against Fark. After giving Fark a bit of hell, SNAFU surrendered to the collective forces of iFOK,  Finnish Cooperation Organisation,  Seaworthy Liberian Carboard Boxes, and Viridian Entente. This conflict was dubbed the Bi-Polar War.

After the conflict was settled, and SNAFU rebuilt, The Heartland resigned once more, to join League of United Defense, where it was content for awhile, until LOUD disbanded. Since that time The Heartland returned to SNAFU, and will remain there for such time as it is welcome.
