Novazem

Colonized during the period 1811-1812, Novazem is a Bohemian colony based north of Betfordland. After the Napoleonic Wars, many Czechs migrated out to the colony, and Novazem grew to be a middling fishing colony.

In 1861 during the American Civil War, Novazem exported large amounts of fishery produce and shipping services to the Union. After the war Novazem grew considerably as the Habsburg Empire gained control over Bohemia, another wave of migration went west and settled in Novazem and Renia.

In 1911 at the outbreak of the First World War, Novazem declared itself independent from the central powers, and the Habsburg Empire granted the colony’s self rule.

During the Second World War, Novazem stayed neutral, but supported the allies with shipping and supplies. The cities grew due to the increased demand of naval supplies and produce, and Novazem grew wealthy of the growing industrial centres in the state.

During the Cold War, a large populist movement grew to unify with Renia to build a economic and cultural union across the archipelago.

Currently, Novazem is a part of the Archipelago Defense Pact and a member of the Archipelago Defensive Council.
