History
Nederland and Holland
In the beginning there were both Holland and Nederland that had quite a large number of Dutch people in it. The foundations of both were lost in the mists of time. The oldest-known history is when Knootoss moved into Nederland with some of his friends and took over the delegacy in an otherwise inactive region. Knootoss attempted to activate the region, but the original inhabitants did not all take kindly to this. Three of these nations eventually split off to form the inactive Brabant region. Soon thereafter, contacts were established with Holland which was by then already a thriving region.
The Merge
The Baarle-Hertog affaire
Former Delegates
- The former nation of Nederland is thought to be a likely candidate to have been delegate during the founding of the region. This is only speculation, however since no accurate records exist.
- Knootoss June 2003 - ?
- Bagheeria May - August 2004
