[Kjalara]

Natural Wonder Application

Nation Short Name: Kjalara
Natural Wonder Name: Gyðjafald (Priestess' Falls)
Brief History of Natural Wonder:The Gyðjafald is located in Kjalara's Grønfeld province. It is a sacred place for Pagans all over the world, its waters are said to have its source in Niflheimr, the world of mist. When the filthy christians and their slave-god came to invade Kjalara they were defeated and their leaders captured. They were led to the waterfall where the priestess Vírún asked them to denounce their false god and accept their defeat. Those who did were killed with swords and send to Valhalla. Those who refused to denounce their false god were thrown down the falls. Vírún asked the christian slave-god to save them if he would like her to convert to christianity - and not a single one survived. Ever since than the place is called Gyðjafal The Priestess' Waterfalls.

[Aterria]

National Wonder Application

Nation Short Name: Aterria
National Wonder Name: The Unity Statue
Brief History of National Wonder:

The original State of Strength (A soldier holding a flag), was destroyed during the Nuclear bombing of New Columbia (New York), 8 years prior, and plans had been drafted for a replacement. Standing at 150 m tall, the new Unity Statue would be the one to replice it. Built in 1960 CY (1910 AD) following the end of the 2nd Eurasian War, the Unity Statue signifies friendship and common labor between comrades. It receives millions of visitors per year, and has been a key tourist attraction in New York.

National Wonder Name: The Golden Mosque
Brief History of National Wonder: The Golden Mosque is one of the oldest buildings in Janubi. It is more than 1000 years old and can be considered a National Wonder. The mosque was planned in such a way that it did conserve the same temperature and moisture through summer and winter. Even today no heating or air conditioning is needed because of the materials used and the way the air circulation was planned.

[Samudera Darussalam]

Natural Wonder Application

Nation Short Name: Samudera Darussalam
Natural Wonder Name: Lake Toba
Brief History of Natural Wonder:
Lake Toba is divided between two provinces; East Sumatra and Mandailing, and also serves as a natural barrier between the two provinces. Danau Toba, as its called in Malay language, is a lake located in a huge crater of an ancient supervolcano that massively erupted in the ancient age, nearly destroyed the northern part of the island of Sumatra, and its said that the eruption nearly caused the humans to extinct, because of the long periods of bad weather caused by the explosion. Today, the remnants of the volcano become a part of Lake Toba and the adjoining Samosir Island in the middle of the lake.

Nation Short Name: Fiscis
Natural Wonder Name: The Circle's Lake
Brief History of Natural Wonder: The Circle's Lake derives its name from the Circle of Fiscis, which was a mercenary group and predecessor to modern Fiscis. The lake held one of the bloodiest battles the medieval Circle of Fiscis. The goal of the battle, which would be completed, was to halt advancing Hungarian armies from crossing the Transylvanian Alps on their way to Bucharest. The battle, which took place at night, cost the lives of more than half of the men from the Circle.

The story goes that when a nobleman asked a young messenger boy the results of the battle, the boy yelled throughout the town, "It's the Circle's Lake!"

I've been busy too. We're short on submissions still, so I'll gladly wait.

[Alkovann]

National Wonder Application

Nation Short Name: Alkovann
National Wonder Name: Althafen Square
Brief History of National Wonder: Althafen Square has a long history, beginning approximately 900 AD, when lost sailors from across the Holy Roman Empire landed in the island which would become Alkovann. A harbor and cathedral were contructed, and the rest of Althafen grew around it. As years went by and the European population grew and traded with the scant natives, a strong merchant class developed. With the arrival of exiles from Byzantium, and growing unrest, the merchant class proclaimed a monarchy in 1462 and constructed a bell tower to celebrate it. Unrest was eased for a time, but decreasing quality in Kings led to prolonged struggles and an eventual civil war, culminating in 1704 with the proclamation of a republic and masses storming the bell tower, ringing out the bells.

The tradition of mass assembly in Althafen Square andd storming the bell tower was revived at various other crucial points in Alkovannsk history, most notably the opening of borders between Communist Alkovann and the Free City of Althafen in 1970, and the ensuing Alkovansk Reunification in 1995. Althafen Square continues to be at the cultural, political, and intellectual heart of the nation.

Alright.
