History
Knorfladshgeff was founded in 1598 by British forces fleeing Britain because they robbed
some banks. Knorfladshgeff first operated as a Monarchy, but in 1605, there was rebellion. The rebels won, and created a democracy. In 1607, they changed the name of the country. The country became known as The Democratic Republic of Knorfladshgeff. The first Prime Minister, elected in 1610, was James McNarley. He won the election by a landslide 100% of the vote. His opponent, sadly, hung himself. Knrofladshgeff slowly grew. In 1819, it joined the region of Non sum pisces. Most of the people that took part in the creation of the nation were British, Irish and Canadian. The nation of Knorfladshgeff has been growing in the past couple of years. The current leader is Prime Minister Johnathan Myrie.
