It consists of the main landmass - the [[Isle of Farmandie]] - and [[smaller islands]]. Farmandie's capital and largest city is [[Kæn]] and it was established in 1748 on the mouth of [[River Vænd]] on the northern coast of the [[Isle of Farmandie]]. The [[Isle of Farmandie]] is located ????km (?,???mi) north of [[Australis polar continent]], ????km (?,???mi) northwest of [[island_name]], ????km (?,???mi) south of [[Jinju]], 2084,1km (1,295mi) southwest of [[Stenzan_island_name]] and ????km (?,???mi) west of [[island_name]] and [[Freda Island]] across the [[Bay of Diamav]]. | ||

The origin of the islands name is not completely clear but it is known to be of very old origin and is believed to come from old seaman saying ''"Further than a man has sailed to die."'' referring to the remoteness of the island and its disconnection from the rest of the world. | The origin of the islands name is not completely clear but it is known to be of very old origin and is believed to come from old seaman saying ''"Further than a man has sailed to die."'' referring to the remoteness of the island and its disconnection from the rest of the world. | ||

The northern coast of the [[Isle of Farmandie]] was known as an interim trading post, resting point and shipyard by [[Corummese people|Corummese]], [[Kiravian]] and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] sailors since before the islands first charting in 1616. | The northern coast of the [[Isle of Farmandie]] was known as an interim trading post, resting point and shipyard by [[Corummese people|Corummese]], [[Kiravian]] and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] sailors since before the islands first charting in 1616. | ||

In 1705 [[ | In [[1705]] [[Kiravia]]n [[Bay Trading Company]] received an order to establish a permanent colony on the on the northern coast of the [[Isle of Farmandie]]. The assigned fleet arrived to the island in late [[1707]] and got ashore at the mouth of [[River Vænd]]. After the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] government learned about the [[Kiravia]]n colony on the island it placed an urgent order to establish a competing colony on the island. A fleet from the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company (BRTC)]] arrived to the northeastern coast of [[Isle of Farmandie]] in summer of [[1712]] and got ashore on [[Point St. Matheus]], claiming the territory as a satellite colony of [[Sudmoll|Sud Moll Colony]]. After few days of scouting the area surrounding the [[Kiravian_settlement_name]] and the mouth of [[River Vænd]] the commander of the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|BRTC]] fleet ordered the settlement to be built on the opposing bank of the river. At first the [[Kiravian]] settlers were very suspicious about the sudden appearance of the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] on the island and what their intentions might be. The commander of the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|BRTC]] fleet [[Hercule Bahanor]] demanded to have a meeting with the commander of the [[Kiravian_settlement_name]]. He succeeded in persuading the the peaceful nature of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] intentions and concluded an agreement of ? with the [[Kiravian_settlement_name]]'s commander [[commander_name]]. For months the relations between the two colonies stayed peaceful and included mostly trading of goods. Language barrier induced disagreements and distrust between the two ethnic groups caused the relations to turn hostile and after [[certain_escalation_event]] freguent and deadly skirmishes and ruthless competition of the islands scarce resources between the two colonies were common. Referred as the trade war of Farmandie. | ||
====Role of Farmandie in the Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars==== | |||
Main article: [[Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars]] | |||
The Trade War of Farmandie spanned from [[1713]]-[[1724]] and was the precurser to its neglect and self goverment period from ([[1743]]-[[1788]]). The island was rich in [[RESOURCES]] but the cost and expense to extract them and transport them safely was not worth the price. This was especially true of [[Kiravia]] whose nearest colony was [[Sarolasta]] through the [[Polynesian Sea]] leaving them vulnerable to [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] commerce raiding before they came into the protection of their own fleets protective range. Alternatively, the [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] could hug the coast until they reached [[Sudmoll|Sud Moll Colony]] and then [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] and their respective colonial fleets. [[Kiravia]] didn't fully abandon their colony on Farmandie until both nations were forced to focus elsewhere in the 1740s but the [[Bay Trading Company]] put less focus on the island than did the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|BRTC]]. Both colonies forming naval militias but the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|BRTC]] garrisoned 100 troops and a small but permanant naval presence on the island in [[1719]], a cost the [[Bay Trading Company]] did not feel was justified. | |||

The extremely long sea voyages in often unpredictably harsh and cold weather conditions resulted in that both colonies got deemed a waste of time and resources by their colonial overlords and the colonies got sent fewer and fewer resupply shipments until they were completely forgotten and neglected. This led the two colonies to get almost completely isolated from the rest of the world by 1745. The colonies realised their neglegted state on winter of 1748 after not receiving any shipments for 3 years straight the two colonies agreed to settle their differences and merge together as one larger settlement in favour of working together to survive on the island. This is often referred as the establisment of the capital [[Kæn]], the first town on the [[Isle of Farmandie]]. In the beginning the former hostilities still fresh in memory complemented with language barrier, food shortage and the punishing conditions led to settlers developing heavy drinking habits and grudges between the two ethnic groups. Disagreement especially between individuals of different ethnicities often led to violent escalations on a major scale after a heavy night of drinking. These drunken group fights were often referred as the small civil wars. | The extremely long sea voyages in often unpredictably harsh and cold weather conditions resulted in that both colonies got deemed a waste of time and resources by their colonial overlords and the colonies got sent fewer and fewer resupply shipments until they were completely forgotten and neglected.
