Hampton

Republic; located on the southern shore of Lake Laniya'ino including the island where the nation's capital sits, with an area of 8,742mi2 (22,643km2). The earliest known inhabitants of the are the native Hapese tribe known as the   Hi Bohini Ho Leniya'ino'o, colloquially refered to as the Leniya'ino.

In 1481, Dutch colonizers  arrived and quickly took  to arms against the Leniya'ino quickly overpowering them and chasing them from the land and named the area Nieuwe Meerzidje. Those who did remained were used as slave labor, mostly for farming or provincial projects.

In 1678, as a result of defeat in the Franco Dutch war, all Dutch territories in Amasenen were divided up amongst the victors; Nieuwe Meerzidje to France, Konstanta given to the Holy Roman Empire, Nieuwe Upon obtaining the new territory the French renamed it Côte Sud du Lac, and renaming the provincial capital to Ajaccio. While the French were in charge, they were soon cut off from the sea and administering the area became difficult and the territory was lawless.

Noticing this weakness, in 1787 the English invaded and took over the territory, separating it into two states; the main land being named Hampton and the island Ærfæder. On the mainland, they abandoned Ajaccio as the capital and founded a new city on the south-eastern shore of the lake called New Jamestead; on the eastern side of the island of Ærfæder, they founded the city of Hamilton to act as the capital. At the start of the 1790's Svorgsland and Atlantean immigrants came over in droves following a devastating potato famine across the Atlantic. The English were stretched thin and controlling immigration on the island was difficult, by 1800 nearly half of the population was Svorgish and a the Atlanteans outnumbered the English.

At the finish of the War of 1812, the English raised taxes heavily in the colonies and they simply disobeyed. The English already deeply in debt did not invest a lot of resources in defending the territories and on November 16th, 1817 under the command of newly crowned kings Fredrik Hendebrok I of Ærfæder and Johannes II of Hampton, the English were forced out.
