Spooty (Dutch: Saartie) is a small coastal nation on the East side of Lajito (Dutch: Laginaar) it borders a thin strip of the Socialist Freemen Desert (Dutch: Woetijn Desert) to the West, the Mountains of Knights (Dutch: Ridderberg) To the South, the Sea of Razgriz (Dutch: Razastiz Zee) to the East, the Abascalanian Straight (Dutch: Skalan Straat)
History
The first instance of nation of Saartie appearing in the history books was as the Crusading knights of Saartie, rivals of the Phillan Knights, rather than following the Lance they took up the discipline of the [wikipedia:Zewihander | Zweihander], at this point the nation was seperated between the 4 lords of Saartie, Duke Sanders, Duke Albrecht, Duke Ostend and the self proclaimed King Saartie who named the nation after himself.
The three Duchys of Saartie paid tribute to Saartie but were free in making decisions of their own, it was not until 1341PDU that King Alexander Saartie IV unified the provinces after the mysterious end of each of the Duchal lines, at this point the nation became known as De Unie Koninkrijk van Saartie.
The nation existed in relative peace for some time until the War of the House erupted in 872PDU between the now seperated lines of Saartie, the House of Spooty which held the throne and the House of Spiff which contested the right to the throne, the result of the war seemed to determine the life of the Spiff House for some time to come, Spiff was defeated but lost in such a way that he managed to create a parliment to undermine the power of Konin Spoot, in 711PDU De Unie Koninkrijk became De Grondwet Monarchie van Spooty.
This is believed to be the first Parliment on the Lajito continent but many historians contest this, the people did now have democracy but in such a small dose things had barely changed, infact the Spootian Parliment simply became a shouting ground for the House of Spiff and the House of Spoot, fearing another civil war the people rose up to gain seats in parliment, the House of Spoot agreed and the Peoples Party started, it lasted for 60 years before being disbanded, it had done its work and the arguments of Spiff-Spoot had almost died out completely.
