History
First Norse Settlements c. 935
A Viking settlement on the southern coast of Forshland.
The first settlements in Forshland were on the South-Eastern coast of Forshland. Norwegian Vikings stumbled upon the island and saw it as a good place to make settlements. They brought the Old Norse language with them and after time it evolved into what is modern day Forshlandic. After exploring the island for about 4 years they made a new settlement on the Eastern coast which was known then as Aust Havn "East Port". Today Aust Havn is known as Østebórg and is the largest city in Forshland.
Union with Norway 1026 - 1453
After the Kingdom of Norway had heard about the success on the island they decided to take control of the island and make it part of the Kindom of Norway. Norway installed leaders on the island that were not popular with the locals. Norway continued to do this until 1453 when the Forshlanders decided to make a stand. They killed the leader of the island. Norway stopped installing leaders and with time left them alone more and more. The Norwegian language continued to be spoken on the island.
Kingdom of Forshland 1459 - 1882

After the union with Norway had been broken the Forshlanders elected their own government with a Royal Family (Aspás Family) and the Aspás Royal Family ruled peacefully until 1882 when the last Aspás daughter (Queen Aðallin) died.
Republic of Forshland 1882 - Present Day
Ever since Queen Aðallin died Forshland has had a Parliamentary Democracy with a Prime Minister and Parliament. The current Prime Minister of Forshland is Runar Sjøvold.
