The Kingdom of Vynland was a parliamentary monarchy consisting of many states and many other scattered territories across Memeworld. The king was Penstubal prior to his disappearance, and the final prime minister was Pick Saltorum of the Nationalist Party. National Vynland Day was celebrated on August 24.

History[]

Old Vynland[]

MelonVynland

Freeze Castle trolled by the Illuminati.

Vynland was the second kingdom to be founded on what was then known as Isailand in December 2015, shortly after the Sunflower Kingdom. King Penstubal got to work, tearing down the local birch forest to build an unorganized and improvised system of roads that would become known as Fortville– which at the time had no name; the whole area was simply called Vynland. The terrain across the area was flattened below sea level, and two local rivers were filled with dirt to provide extra building space. The terraforming eventually proved to be a hindrance when it made the area prone to flooding and sinkholes.

Old Vynland was “very small and was a pretty big mess,” in the eyes of its king. The first Vynn building, Freeze Castle, was a target for frequent raids by the Illuminati. Freeze Castle was built with stone and nether bricks and it later became known more formally as the Capital Fort. Alongside the fort were the National Gallows in Royal Square, several generic villager houses, and the Freeze Towers which were built in January 2016 and housed international embassies and restaurants. While not built by the King himself, there was also the Slide, which was originally part of a troll though kept and integrated as part of Vynland anyway. The territory around the young kingdom was rapidly claimed by opposing countries, and King Penstubal regretted not hoarding for land sooner.

Old Vynland was frequently trolled and raided, enraging King Penstubal. One of the most memorable trolls of the Old Vynland era was the December 2015 Melon Bombing, in which Vynland was buried in watermelons as payback for the King's constant referral to King Chill of the Illuminati Kingdom as a “melonhead.”

Vynland Colonization[]

In February, Vynland suffered its first destructive terrorist attack, damaging Freeze Castle and the newly built nuclear bunker. Fearing the Vynn king would blame him for the destruction for creating the bunker in the first place, Pumaslam fled Vynland on that same day and established his own kingdom of Pumaslavia north of Fortville. By March, the frustration King Penstubal already felt for the attack was amplified upon realizing Pumaslavia's proximity to Vynland. The two bickered over the territory known as Grassrock that rested between the borders of Vynland and Pumaslavia. King Penstubal demanded a buffer zone be established to prevent “invasion, and it looks neater.” Despite the objections Overlord Pumaslam had, he reluctantly agreed, marking the fissure between the two nations the Grassrock buffer zone.

Meanwhile, while tensions and disputes were ongoing at home, King Penstubal considered to abandon Fortville for a better and more isolated location. He sent out groups of explorers to sail the ocean to find suitable locations for new potential colonies. The explorers discovered the island of Woodland and the Blockia desert that would become New Blocky City. King Penstubal initially took Woodland for his own personal residence, though he later chose to turn it into a fully functional colony. The King granted Woodland dominion status and Vynns began moving to Woodland, proving the new colony to be successful. Seeing the potential in Vynn colonies and not having to be bound by its bordering neighbors anymore, King Penstubal chose to retain his ownership of Fortville.

Weeks later in March, the Capital Fort unexpectedly collapsed due to a plethora of silverfish living within its walls. The Vynn government responded by attempting to hunt down and exterminate every silverfish living in Fortville, though these efforts ultimately proved to be futile as the pests persisted. Due to the King's prioritization of Woodland at the time, the Capital Fort was not restored until early June.

By June, the initial construction on New Blocky City had completed and was readied enough for Vynns to move in. Though to King Penstubal, New Blocky City's completion was overshadowed by the establishment of New Vynland, better known as Hillsburg which it was renamed to not long after. The King saw Hillsburg as the most successful Vynland colony thanks to its immense size and space.

The Kingdom of Vynland, now consisting of Fortville, Woodland, New Blocky City and Hillsburg, was beginning to resemble the Vynland Empire it would start calling itself in August.

Vynn Revival Period[]

In June 2016, the citizens living in Fortville began to feel forgotten as the kingdom expanded past its initial boundaries, influenced by the Capital Fort neglect. Seeking a refurbished sense of identity for his people, the King launched the Vynland Improvement Project for Fortville. Nearly all works within Fortville, including the Capital Fort itself, were demolished in favor of new buildings set up in their place. The only buildings that remained untouched by the Improvement Project were Penstubal's Viking House, Cats's Dual Houses and the Marketplace in Stubal Square. Without its defining point of interest, Fortville was renamed to Wina, though the original name would occasionally be used interchangeably. As a constant target for their trolls and for the memories shared within it, the Illuminati Kings felt disappointment over the loss of the Capital Fort.

In the place of the Capital Fort was the Brick House, which was a two-story brick building with a wooden roof that functioned as the new government building for Vynland. King Penstubal later regretted the replacement, though stood with his decision having already implemented it.

The two Freeze Towers were also demolished during the Improvement Project, though they were spiritually succeeded by the new Stubal Tower built in New Blocky City.

The Vynland Improvement Project was successful in revitalizing the Vynn spirit in Fortville. The resulting increase in nationalism and patriotism lead to what historians called the Vynn Revival Period. Though the Improvement Project only focused on Wina, many of Vynland's citizens still held a deep connection to the region, most having originally lived there themselves when it was Fortville. The Vynn spirit resided in Wina, which still functioned as the capital of the ever-expanding Kingdom. The four colonies were all turned into fully fledged states of the Kingdom of Vynland, oftentimes proudly referred to as the Vynland Empire. Along with this came a growing anti-Illuminati and anti-Pumaslavic sentiment across Vynns.

The Loo Witch

The Loo Witch blocking Vynland's Loo.

August 2016, Wina suffered a crisis when The Loo Witch blocked the city's only public restroom. To the dismay of many Vynns, they followed the Witch's advice and designated a street next to Saint Skeltal Church as a substitute for their only bathroom. This switch in defecation unintentionally invited a large Pajeet population to Vynland, who ended up staying even after the Loo Witch was allegedly executed by King Penstubal and the designated street was cleaned up. Even after her execution, the public restroom consistently suffered issues such as being blocked off or going out of order. These issues always brought back the designated street, later named Crappy Street in remembrance of hard times.

At some point late 2016, a parasite commonly known as a Melonhead plagued the streets of Vynland, attaching itself onto villagers and taking over their bodies as a host. Fortunately the majority of Vynland's villager population, the Pajeet, were immune to the parasite and lived life as normal. In 2017, Illuminati scientists discovered a way to contain the Melonheads without any farther spread, however by then it was already too late for most of Vynland.

Vynland continued thriving as it started expanding west of Wina, towards Shreck's Swamp and Penphalia, where even more settlements were founded. At home, Vynland started flourishing and the economy started booming. Meme Square was created on March 6th, 2017 in front of Saint Skeltal's church. Farms were created in Shreck's Swamp which caused the agricultural sector to boom. In April 2017, a new city called New Paris was created northwest of Octopia.

Political Uneasiness[]

At some point, a large population of Birbs had migrated to the rooftops of Wina and claimed it as their home titled Birb City. Birb City included its own monarchy under King Birbie Sanders, with a fortress established atop of the council building with its own royal guard. The citizens of Wina showed nothing hostility toward the birbs and ordered King Penstubal to rid of the unwanted immigrants immediately. This led to the assasination of King Birbie Sanders, although it had little effect since merely days later another king had taken the throne. In time, King Penstubal and his people were able to eliminate their government and unwillingly accepted the many birb immigrants. Of course this was not met without opposition, for there were many protests in the streets claiming that birbs needed to be deported away from Vynland back where they came. Another crowd argued against this, exclaiming that that they should stay in the name of diversity and tolerance. Ultimately, the birbs were welcomed as the newest members of Vynland.

On April 27, 2017, at 4:09 PM Vynland Time, a huge part of the city, the crossroads of Lone Road and Shade Street near Mario's Ye Olde Style Pizza and McChill's restaurants, has sank into the ground, killing 4 birbs and 1 testificate. It is so far unknown what caused this sinkhole and the massive damage to the buildings in the area, and government authorities believe it's because of Vynland's very unstable and thin terrain: however, whatever the cause might be, this has changed the history of Fortville forever and could result in massive changes to the look, design and terrain of Fortville. This disaster came to be known as the Fortville Crossroad Disaster.

On May 21, 2017, violent clashes took place at Meme Square and Royal Square in Fortville. Fascists protested all day at the Royal Square, demanding deportation and killings of birbs in Vynland. The fascist protests were countered by leftist anti-fascists at Meme Square, who demanded diversity, deportation of fascists, and helping poor birbs find their homes. The two sides eventually clashed in the Meme Street that connects the two squares. Only 1 person was hurt, a feminist man.

The Fall of a Kingdom[]

At some point in June 2017, King Penstubal had vanished with no trace to be found. Many criminal organizations such as the Toast Syndicate saw this and took immediate advantage by seizing the streets. Thus started a new era for Vynland, an era of anarchy and war. Illuminati King Chill saw this and gracefully accepted many of the Pajeet and Melonhead citizens seeking refuge from the streets, despite the tensions with Vynland's own king in the past. Meanwhile, the Toast Syndicate and its numbers continued to rampage against anyone who stood in their way including civilians, iron golems and birbs. It wasn't too long until the Toast Syndicate had successfully conquered the town of Wina. In doing so, they had even scared away the entire population of birbs living within Wina, leaving the hostile toasts to themselves.

Neglected territory of the Toast Syndicate.

Within a month or so, the Toast Syndicate had begun to renovate the ruined buildings of Wina for their own purposes. This including their new base of operations and a refurbished Mike's Meat, who had sided with the toasts during the wars. They relocated many of King Penstubal's personal belongings into his old viking house for storage. However, the syndicate did not show any interest in restoring any buildings that were not central to their own plans, and as a result many of the old buildings in Wina were neglected and are still ruined to this day.

As news of King Penstubal's disappearance spread, many other leaders saw it as an opportunity to grab the territories they sought after from Vynland's control. Emperor Pumaslam took Grassrock for Pumaslavia, the Illuminati took over New Blocky City's territory, the Cactus Empire seized territories it sought after and Woodland was taken over by TuxxedoCat. These actions ultimately fractured Vynland into nearly nothing.

The Senate of Vynland attempted to continue governing from Parthia, but once Wina had fallen out of their control, the other nations of Memeland realized how weak Vynland was. More Vynn territories were invaded, including Parthia, causing them to move to Shreck's Camp Military Base in Shreck's Swamp. After the military base was assaulted by the Toast Syndicate, the senate retreated again, this time to the Stubal Convention Center in Sunnyside. During all of the chaos, they continued to act as if they had control over Vynland, and continued making irritating addresses to the other nations of Memeworld, as their bombastic king had done; Those messages were ignored by their recipients. In early 2019, after the copypasta village and the Stubal convention center in Sunnyside were bombed, the senate returned to Shreck's Swamp, this time to a hastily constructed dirt shack. After Germania annexed Penphalia in May 2019, the dirt shack was also abandoned, with no messages from the senate since.

While the Kingdom of Vynland may be dead, believers in King Penstubal's ideals and Vynland's resurrection are not. The Nice Order slowly collected groups of individuals ready to fight back for the homeland they once knew as Vynland. It is rumored they are taking residence in Hillsburg, using Penstubal's house as their headquarters, though these rumors are unconfirmed.

Architecture[]

In The Capital's Old Town, the architecture is identical to the one used in north Pumaslavia. The buildings there are made out of bricks with ceilings out of dark oak planks. The architecture, in Vynland, is referred to as Traditional Slavic, though it is also known as North Pumaslavic.

As you go west of Old Town, you can see the architecture changing. Vynland has a very diverse architecture with nearly every other building having a different look. The architecture is referred to as Vynn Architecture.

Far west, in rural Penphalia, the houses are identical to villager houses used in villages, and that architecture is refered to as Testificate Architecture.

In New Blocky City is the so-called Urban Architecture, which involves skyscrapers, stone bricks, sandstone bricks and many other blocks.

In New Paris, the Parisian Architecture is dominant and it involves many highly detailed buildings made out of stained hardened clay.

Culture and Religion[]

Vynland's population is predominately white, Calcist and of Vynn ethnicity, with a few Pumaslavic, Cactus and Billvillian minorities, and also Sunflower minorities thanks to Skeleton King's occupation there.

Major religious changes happened in Vynland throughout 2016. At first, most Vynns were of Melonist faith. By early 2016 that faith had died and most Vynns had converted to the Sunflower church. However, in middle 2016, the Church of mr skeltal started booming and increasing rapidly in followers. Missionaries from Billville successfully managed to convert Vynland to the mr skeltal religion, however, in late 2016, the Vynland church of mr skeltal declared itself fully separate from the Billville one and started calling its religion Skeltalism, Skeletism or Calcism. Vynland remains firmly Calcist today, a very religious nation with many Calcist followers.

Language[]

English and Serbian are the two most common languages in Vynland. Serbian was the language of Ancient Vynns, who lived south in the areas of Woodland and Castlemore, before their mass exodus north towards modern day Vynland. English is today the dominant language, in contrast to how it was before. Since March 6, 2017, Latin is an official language as well. In New Paris, since April 2017, French is also an official language.

Trivia[]

  • All Vynns have the right to bear arms. However, no citizen bears arms because they prefer to hold their hands together all the time.
  • There are elections for Chancellor every 6 months in Vynland. The last one, on February 15 2017, resulted in Pick Saltorum winning a second term.
  • Vynland is a predominately agricultural nation, although recently Chancellor Saltorum's administration has been planning on turning Vynland into a predominately industrial nation.
  • Vynland and Billville have a very unfriendly rivalry. Vynland dislikes the Billville government so much that they threatened war when Billville annexed neighboring Sunflower and Pumaslavia in January 2017.
