Ancient History
The original Empire of Norightsia began in AD 327, when Roman mariners, sailing from Carthage to Britannia, were blown off course by a freak storm. Thinking they were still traveling north, they sailed west to Canada. They believed that they had landed upon a resurrected Atlantis, but were afraid to stay lest it sink again.The Romans immediately attempted to resupply the ship, but did not recognize the indigenous foliage. During the delay, Native Americans found and destroyed their ship. The Romans were stuck. They decided to found a colony, hoping eventually Rome would find them. Luckily, the ship's cargo had been wives, daughters, and female slaves of noblemen newly arrived from Rome to act as officials, so they were able to reproduce. The settlers decided to elect the ship's captain, Vicius Hilaris, as the new Emperor of Norightsia, their new Empire. He named this new dynasty after Constantine, the current Roman Emperor. {The Constantinian Dynasty} of Norightsia lasted for about 670 years with little inbreeding with natives, who were subjugated and used as slaves.
Around AD 815, a city, named Vicus Maritimus, had developed in the Roman fashion. It had become apparent that Rome would never find them, so they established their own Empire, with {Vicus Maritimus} as the capital city. There was a relatively large temple of Demeter downtown, but most citizens were Christians by that time.They also attempted to convert the Natives, but they resisted and a serious of wars broke out. The Amerindians lost, and the persecution under the hands of Emperor Tilurius III were so bad that a chief protested them publicly in broken Latin, calling the Empire roughly "Not Right Land". Popular poltical figures began calling the Empire "{Notrightsland}" after that.
In AD 1000,Leif Ericson and his minions arrived from Greenland. One of his captains, Tyrkir, a German, was sent out to scout the area. He and his men came upon Vicus Maritimus with help from angry natives. He was astounded that the Norightsians spoke Latin, had galdiatorial combat, went to public baths, and lived in villas. Upon their being spotted, the Norightsian Emperor, {Constanian IV}, jumped to conclusions and guessed that they were German auxiliares here to rescue them. The German, who had learned Latin from pillaging Irish monasteries, played the ruse and entered Vicus Maritimus. He then immediately went into the Imperial Compound, murdered the Imperial family, and declared himself Lord of Notrightsland. Not wanting to go back to Greenland, he sent an envoy to Leif Ericson with some of the grapes that the Norightsians had brought from Rome and cultivated. He declared the grapes grew wild and wanted to stay. Ericson agreed, and named the area Vinland after the grapes. He left, never to gaze uopn Notrightsland.
The so-called German Dynasty under the Vikings lasted for about as long as the earlier Constantinian. The Empire became up to date because of the Vikings' knowledge, and the people had no end of mourning over the Fall of the West, and very many refused to believe it. However, those who did were comforted by the fact that East lived on, although they were concerned about Islam. The German Dynasty was characterized by an overall feeling of impotence not fealt during the Constantinian when they thought that Rome would keep on keeping on without them. The art and politics clearly showed it. During the {German Dynasty}, the Empire's name also metamorphosed into Norightsia, which continues to this day.
The German Dynasty also came to an abrubt end in the 1600s. French and English explorers spotted Norightsia. They were ashamed that they were beaten, but more afraid that it was each other in the settlements. Both factions, using firearms, ravaged Norightsia searching for traces of the other side. This is known as the {Twofold War}. The current Emperor, {Germanicus XXI}, feared for the life of his people, and gathered the whole population of Vicus Maritimus into a fleet of ships and sailed south. The eventually reached Florida and safety with loyal Papists. They were allowed to stay in Florida to defend the colonists in return for freedom. Thejoind the famous Black Seminoles in this role. They established a city near modern day Orlando called {Veloridamus}. This is known as the {Floridian Period}.
