History- Kynlin was founded in 1832 when John Colverd, a rich entrepreneur, financed a journey to settle the landmass of Kynlin for the purpose of giving people a chance to escape economically failing countries. Kynlin's southern peninsula was settled in a matter of months and within 5 years Kynlin has claimed half the landmass. For most of it's years the country was controlled by the dominating Isolationist Party and did not establish foreign contact, but in 1869 a second party, the Expansionist party was formed and proceeded to become popular through conquering the entire landmass and invading the Native controlled islands around Kynlin in order to gain resources and establish colonies. The economy boomed and Kynlin got a reputation in the world as a small but economically powerful country. The hawkish policies of the Expansionist party led to rebelions in the native lands and resulted in Kynlins first war in 1871, the Colonial War. After the war Kynlin was economically depressed and could not support the massive military that the Expansionist party required for its wartime economic style. Due to this problem the Colonial party and the Nativist party emerged and took their places in Kynlins government creating the party system we see today. Kynlin's economic state and poor conditions resulted in Civil war from 1890 until 1923. After the war Kynlin became isolationist again in order to rebuild and later to hide from the economic crises of the 1930's. From 1989 until today in 2011, Kynlin has been at peace and controlled by various parties in a successful democratic system.
