Louisaland

Nation Information

Louisaland's history began when its founder emigrated to Southern Africa to escape the tyrannical rule of her older brother. Together with a small band of brave settlers she was well on the way to making a happy little country when two nearby scavengers attacked. (Long since wiped off the face of Bob, the attackers were led by joelromero and Flixified.) Answering a recruitment message from the League of Small Superpowers, Louisa was able to get not only political assistance to free her people from attack within two days, but also financial assistance to repair her ravaged country. Full of gratitude, she applied for membership in LOSS and kept building a good home for her subjects.

Time passed, improvements were made, and hilarity was had both at LOSS and in the (since sadly demolished) Black Team Forum complex, where Louisa made the acquaintance of her neighbours in CDS and GOONS.

Louisaland was still a tiny country at the time Great War 2 broke out, but did her duty in the onslaught on CIS. Hazeonya and Finocia were knocked into anarchy and despair in a daring midnight strike, but the lightning response of Troy Nova stalled the war effort the following day. The rest of the war was spent in attacks and counterattacks, interspersed with friendly conferences with the charming leader of Troy Nova. And after less than a week the war ended in ceasefire and peace.

The postwar period was a great time of solidarity, where the generous Louisalanders shipped off money and resources to help its neighbours; so much so that the country's own development was neglected. At the same time, postwar depression set in at LOSS, with most of the best member states leaving the League to seek new experiences. Louisa had made friends across Bob, even contemplating joining \m/ at one point, but it was a complete stranger's honey tongue that finally lured her away from LOSS and into the snowy wastes of the New Polar Order.

Louisaland was warmly welcomed into the NpO but had little time to settle in before Great War 3 broke out. Even before the Polar entry into the war, Louisa had sent her forces against the ODN rogue Marlboro, and as the call to arms echoed through the Empire, she was quick to find fresh targets. Boring list: illii, Hollow Bastion, Something, Skeptical Cynics, cherokee, Traditoia, FunditionLand, Rhineland Republic, Aener, Cumberland Farms	-- a mixture of NAACC and Forocoches masquerading as NAAC.

Some where in the middle of those wars, Louisaland had been utterly devastated and knocked out, but the /b/ incident and some money received for safekeeping allowed Louisa to rebuild half her country before returning to the fight. Then the war was over, but there remained enemies to chase down: Hallowvale, Lohi World, Nummenaria -- NAAC remnants.

Despite the war successes mood in Louisaland was poor and there was even talk of splitting up into smaller parts, with Louisa herself retiring into obscurity. But a chance contact with the Goon Order Of Neutral Shoving rekindled Louisalander pride in the Black Sphere. A quick note here, a quick resignation there, and Louisaland found itself finally at home with the GOONS mere days before the FAN War started: Durka-durka-stan, Ammo Nation.

The excellence of the Goon teachers had doubled Louisaland's influence within days of joining, and continued help saw the country double its influence in the days following its partial withdrawal from the war. (Free war slots? Where?) A technological breakdown left Louisaland ruled by a neighbour for nearly two months, during which the GOONS were dragged into the Unjust War: Igtopia, Kavamoo, Pameshlu, Folkmania, Enricoville, Govi Desert, CapeCodders, Gonzolia. (Confusing blend of IRON, NATO, FCO and NTO.)
