 T he region of Bødur.

Diplomatic Relations
Bødur is one of the six counties in Silvay.

Founding
The founders were Vincent and Sam, brother and sister from The House von Mapel family tree, who set up a party in Marletto where Sam originated from. From there they started a journey to found a brand new nation called Bødur. Both agreed upon sharing the rule, making their future kingdom a diarchy. They illegally settled and build the city Kyiff now known to the name Køgyir in the already existing nation of The Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa on the south east continent Cymru.

Because the corulers, Vincent and Sam, settled illegally they wanted to take a low profile. At least untill they were strong enough to declare their independence, unfortunately they were discovered very early on and never got the change to recruit many people as well as get the resources they needed. They could join peacefully or by force so now they had no choice but to join The Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa.

Cut trees bare no fruit
After a while the corulers decided to leave for a time. When they returned they officially accepted the offer and were greeted by the people of Silvay, a province in The Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa. They were generously granted the title county, rebuild Køgyir and founded the city Kyiff, now known as New-Altaroth. For a while the corulers still thought about breaking free.

The Libertalian Independence War gave them this opportunity, still they couldn't. Even after all this time they did not manage to gather the men nor the supplies to do so. Instead they remained part of what then became Seratovia. Bødur never got to bear fruit and as of today, they accepted that.

The Duchy of Lothrin
Bødur was beginning to be looking good, they had excellent relations with the people of Silvay. That is when the next major historic event for Bødur began. Squatters near Port Rose had conflict with the Silvay province and so with Seratovia itself. They were chased away from Port Rose only to reappear in the Bødurian Peninsula up north. They called themselves Lothrin. Soon they made up the hulk of the population in Bødur and rumours about independence were already spreading. This was prevented with the help of Silvay and major conflict was averted.

There was no civil war, yet the people were unhappy. Negotiations were made between Vincent von Mapel and Kaiserin Lytra. Kaiserin became the duchy of Lothrin, new cities were build on the peninsula only to become one city again because it was too crowded. At this point Sam von Mapel had 'left' the county as well as some of the people from Lothrin. Some tensions remained like someone who tried to start a second civil war against Lothrin and failed, but most tensions were gone.

Flags
The bronze of the flag meant the color of the ground they had set upon (being orange/brownish) and the great mining aspect of Bødur, which they excelled at. The white and blue on the flag meant the peace of their nation, meaning that they will always try to be civil about all kinds of situations. The maple logo was added to the flag because it is their family logo, it also represents the beautiful nature of their settled location.
