Faetland

The Faett Islands, (Wessen - Faett Ealondan or Faettan, Spanish - Islas Faett) also known as the Faetts, is a island nation located in the mid atlantic. It comprises of five volcanic islands, along the Northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The Faett Islands have a total population of 1.1 million, as of 2013. In terms of physical landsize, the Faett islands posess a total of XXX km2. The capital is Filann.

The first inhabitants of the Faett Islands were believed to be the Vikings, however only historic ruins remain of any Viking society on the islands. It is not known how long Viking settlement existed on the Faetts, however it is speculated it was a small non-permanent settlement. Viking Settlement of the Faett Islands is largely disputed as a hypothesis, due to the Southerness of the islands in comparison to other Viking regions. Modern settlement dates back from the early 16th century, with a colony founded by famed Wessen explorer, Jon Agbert in 1519. However, following the Tudor Conquest of Wessex and the stark decline of the Wessen Empire the islands were left largely defenseless and independent. A major trading hub across the atlantic for Spain and France in the New World, the islands soon became important to both sides. Unlike the main Wessen colony, Newfoundland, the Faett Islands were never invaded by England, and instead found mutual acceptance in governance with Spain. The Kingdom of the Faett Islands was dissolved in 1899, following the Revolution of 1899. A more democratic system was put in place with a parliamentary system based on the Wessen System.

The Faett Islands is a sovereign state, with a Presidential Parliamentary Republic system of governance, which has been in place since 1899. The Head of State is the Faettieldra of the Faett Islands, who, together with the Vice Faettieldra and their Cabinet, forms the Executive Arm of the Government of the Faett Islands. The legislature of the islands is the Þingemot of the Faett Islands (Thinjemot) which consists of 61 seats.
