The fierce war to get their independance from the [[Gehenna Tartarus]] government of 1763 lead to The Family of Belmore's land being recognized as the new nation of '''The Fiefdom of The Belmore Family''' following the Treaty of Gehenna. During the 19th and 20th centuries, 25 new counties were added to the original 5 as the nation expanded across the Belmorian Islands and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Great battle for Hellzone (1961-65) and the War with Ghastt of the 1980s. Buoyed by victories in gaining many civil rights legistations denied in Gehenna, TBF remains one of the world's most powerful nation-states. The economy is marked frighteningly high thanks to low unemployment and inflation and rapid advances in technology. The nation stayed as a fiefdom until the early 90s until the massive rise of The [[Liberal]] Democratic Communist Government when The Belmore Family became "The United Socialist States" and moved to [[Alliance of Socialist States]]. The Belmore Family now controls good relations with [[The United Hughdom]] and many other nations in the [[Alliance of Socialist States]].
