History
The Beginning
Lancre was founded by Sirocco in May 2003 in a bid to escape its old region of Switzerland Sucks. Such was the raging rivalry between nations, Sirocco felt he wanted a place where it could stretch its mountain ranges and breath clean air. So, gathering a few friendly allies, Sirocco founded the region with the nation of Sodarules (now sadly deceased). Soon, the region was growing and growing, and things looked good.
The, Uh... Stuff That Happened Afterwards
Sirocco stimulated interest in the region by creating sports events (most notably The Lancre Cup), a map, a web site (provided by Peng-Pau), and even a newspaper. Lancre has been hit by many setbacks however. It was constantly under seige by various members of the old region 'Switzerland Sucks', but Lancre was strong and easily deflected the blows. There was also what has been known as 'The Meteorite Crash'. Eight nations all died at the same time, cutting the population of the region by a quarter. It was called The Meteorite Crash because exactly a month before, a nation (the name of this seer is, alas, forgotten) had prophecied that a meteorite would hit Lancre in a month's time.
And After That...
Sirocco became a Moderator of NationStates. His duties split between moderating the game and maintaining the region, it was decided that he would retire from being delegate and allow someone else to oversee the region's involvement in the United Nations. That delegate has been DTAS LAND for most of the time, with strong challenges from Andrewmania.
