History

The Founding of Eagmont

78 men and women from a far off land settled in this Island in 1759, with intentions to set up a colony. The leader of the group, George Watsons, felt it appropriate to name it after a new born that was born just before the landing. So, this island was named Harry Eagmont (Harry was never used), and there was a 5 day party in honour of the founding. George Watsons was elected the first President of Eagmont after a voting period of 5 days.

The Natives meet the Eagmontese

10 days after the arrival, many members of Eagmont started hearing strange chants in a different language coming from the hills. These hills have been out of bounds, effective when the President was re instated.

The natives finally made an apperance in 1760, when the President ordered the men to attack the noises. The natives, who spoke a dialect of Pacitalian, could speak little english but still could communicate well.

The natives were very welcoming, which played a big party in Eagmont's cultural identity. Many Eagmontese (as they are known to be called know) still live in remote villages in the L'Ile de sud (Eagmonts most cultured region).

1760-1912

Throughout these years, Eagmont was a relativly quite nation. Many presidents had past, and the country was thriving with knowledge and culture.

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">

Eagmont in 1916.The southern regions of Eagmont are nearly taken over by the Rebels (The Rebels were the governance of the offshore island of Manly)

In 1912, rebels from the offshore Island of Manly attacked the southern State of L'Ile de sud, in an attempt to take back what the rebel natives though were their own. The Defence Premier, Yolan Burgenhastë, did not react until the Rebels were at the port of Interogeè, the main port in the southern region.

The Defence force came within hours of the attack, but the rebels out numbered the defence force numbers (almost 6:1) and with no official backing from the people of Eagmont, the Defence force was left without support from the country.

By 1916, most of the bottom regions were taken over by the rebels. The Labour Government at the time didnt feel that they should interveen with the rebels (it was the natives land, after all).

President Harry Truman (Labour) was publically critisised by the Opposition, and the people. The President, after being barrled with abuse and complaints, resigned and called a by-election. Interestingly, Harry Truman was the man who would fight this election.
