Frisian Empire

In OLT, Frisia is a coastal region along the southeastern corner of the North Sea, i.e. the German Bight. Frisia is the traditional homeland of the Frisians, a Germanic people who speak Frisian, a language group closely related to the English language. Frisia extends from the northwestern Netherlands across northwestern Germany to the border of Denmark (Vidå).

However, in our story, the Frisian people were prosperous and powerful. They established the Frisian Empire in 1182AD and conquered areas of Belgica, Germania and Scandinavia. Their language became the basis for great literature and song, while evolving into the unified modern language it is today. Education and Industry prosper, even while events such as the World Wars and the Protestant Revolution are terrorising the nation.

Colonialism is effected by Frisia, due to the changing attitudes of its neighbours and the different people who do not exist in our timeline but are famous in the one of the Frisian Empire.
