Newwelland
History
Newwelland is a nation that was founded on April 8, 2018, when the current President at the time General drew the map of Newwelland. At the time Newwelland was only as large as one current state, it was a simple map but it made a point. The words of the Anthem reflect this "This was our start as we drew our map, only as far as the throw of a dart." During this time there was no central government or system of power, only an Idea that was sustained by the people.
The first flag was made sometime in the fall which consisted of a laurel wreath on a purple and yellow background. The year after was uneventful. Later, in August of 2019, a new flag was made which consisted of a red cross on a blue field and five stars in the canton which represented union and unity. After this, a simple government consisting of a primitive council was instituted. Laws and bills were passed and among these was the territorial expansion act of 2021.
Newwelland had grown already to 4 states, much bigger than the original 1 state. The act introduced 5 new states which were when the stars changed to represent 9 states. Now our flag has 9 stars. Earlier, on September 22, 2021, our official constitution was written which stated how the government should run and also respecting the rights of the citizens, it was approved and signed 3 days later by the Newwelland Congress. Our country is a constitutional republic which is the same as the United States. We pledge our allegiance to the United States of America before Newwelland but we find it necessary to have a form of governance in our region. Now with 9 states and 27.5 acres of territory, a Navy, Army, Infantry, and patriots, Newwelland has grown from the ground up and into a strong flourishing nation.
