History

Nelsonburg was founded by sambrose & Blalex on the 28th of december in 2016, shortly after Gardellia opened. The first houses were build at the "Friedensplatz", where two of the most important trade routes ("Hansastraße" & "Hellweg") crossed each other. The "Friedensplatz" was and still is the middle of the city. In early 2017 a Trump wall was established to control the border between Kralyn and Nelsonburg. The Trump wall was roughly set up halfway between the two town's railway stations to avoid possible border issues in future development. However came under controversy by the governments of the Deuserreich and the Magdalerreich (close trade-partners of Nelsonburg by that time). For they claimed the mayor of Kralyn to be a hypocrite. For if the mayor may build walls outside city limits, then why couldn't they build out of their limits. In response the wall was taken down and a warning was given to all parties involved. The wall was replaced with block markers by the Council of Nelsonburg. In 2017 Nelsonburg and the city of Haldenstein signed a contract to support their cooperation in terms of economy and travelling. These two cities are now known as "Partner Cities". Since then, they have very good relations. On October the 21st in 2017, the confederation of Westphalia has been established. It is a union between the Cities of Kralyn, Konstanz, Forbach, Jinol, Boltenhagen, Sint Maartenstad and Nelsonburg. The confederation introduced free travel in between the borders of the named cities and strengthened the relations and cooperation under their members.
