History of Europe

[The City-State of Salzburg]

Greetings from the people of Europe! To foster greater understanding between our regions, I thought I would add a thread on the official history of Europe, courtesy of our delegate Imperium Anglorum:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Europe was created in November 2002 in the days and weeks after the creation of NationStates. Unfortunately, nobody is available to tell us more about the early days. Regardless, Europe is so old that wen we were founded, we had no founder, since regional founders had not yet been added into the game.
In the early days, Europe was a massive region, with over 700 residents. As part of the first wave of regions, it was also part of the early days of raiding, and after a particularly nasty raid, the Delegate at the time, Schumania, was appointed Founder of the region.

However, after Schumania ceased to exist, the raids restarted and EuroFounder, the current Founder, was appointed Founder of the region. Since those fateful days in 2003, he has remained as Founder ever since, watching and protecting the region as it grew and contracted, reaching highs of over 820 nations and lows of just 310.

Europe has always been neutral, uninvolved with the conflicts which wage outside. The region remained at peace while the fires of the 'Great War' between the New Pacific Order and the Pacific Army. The region has remained at peace while Pacifics fell, as Pacifics were recaptured, as the first DEN organised, as the raiders gave way to the Black Riders, and as the Black Riders themselves have fallen.

We survived those early days, never refounded, never ending. From the Delegacies of Gallantaria to Alsted, Europe has remained forever and we shall always until the sands of time have wiped the silicon of NationStates's servers into the dust.

Europe has influenced the United Nations and the World Assembly. Our Delegates have come up in the questions of NationStates, so far as TV Tropes saying that 'Present WA superpowers (Type A) include Just Guy and Alsted', the latter being one of our most illustrious former Delegates.

The current and former Delegates of our glorious region have kept the peace and have build a region of hundreds of nations. So, welcome to Europe and see what part you can play in one of the most ancient and exalted regions of NationStates. Together, we can make history.
