'''Kingdom of the Isle of Farmandie''' ([[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]]: ''Le Royaume de l'Ile de Fiærmandie'', [[Kiravic Coscivian|Coscivian]]: ''Xūrokuv Ion Fyærmandiv'') or '''Farmandie''' is an independent post-colonial island country in [[Australis]]. Surrounded on all sides by the [[Ocean of Cathay]] east coast facing the [[Bay of Diamav]].

 

===Pre-history ( before the 17th century)===

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

===Early colonisation (1700-1782)===

In 1707 Kiravian goverment gave an order to establish a permanent colony at the mouth of [[River Vænd]] on the northern coast of the island. After the Burgoignac goverment found out about the Kiravian colony it gave an order to establish a competing colony on the island. The Burgoignac fleet arrived to Farmandie on summer of 1712. The captain in charge of the Burgoignesc fleet decided to make a bold move and ordered the settlement to be built on the opposing side of the river from the Kiravian colony that stood on the western bank of the [[River Vænd]]. Altho peaceful at first the relations between the two colonies soon fell to disarray. Disagreements and distrust led to freguent and violent skirmishes and ruthless competition of the scarce resources between the two colonies.

===Neglect and self govern (1783-1792)===

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 1785. The colonies realised their neglegted state on winter of 1788 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.

===Recolonisation attemp (1793-1800)===
