History
In 2014 this small patch of land was given by Viadalvia to the Schalamzaar Empire as a gift, However Schalamzaar renounced this claim and the claim was vacant unil 2017 when it was claimed by Yakklam
Klinkenberg
The island consisted a core part of the now defunct Principality of Yakklam as Yakklam was brain dead, Seeing an oppertunity to expend Wallenia, neogiations between the Prince of Yakklam and the King of Wallenia happend on April 26 During this time, Yakklam ceased to exist as an independent country and was reformed into Klinkenberg
On May 5, the Wallenian House of Delegates voted to annex the Grand Duchy due to the lack of intrest on that project and to secure Wallenian intrests in the region Grand Duke Joseph avoided signing the law but nevertheless signed the Annexation bill into law.
Government
Klinkenberg was an absolute monarchy with the rule of decrees with the King of Wallenia serving as its head of state and head of goverment. This was due to the small size of the nation and its small populace Klinkenberg does not have a Parliament but has an advisory General Council, the GC consists of between 2 and 4 councillors. The councillors served for four-year terms, and are appointed by Wallenias goverment while 2 councilors are elected representing Klinkenbergs 2 parishes, Klinkenberg did not have its own judicinary and its court was the Supreme Court of Wallenia
Foreign relations
From the start, despite Klinkenberg being an equal member of the Wallenian Realm. Outsiders saw Klinkenberg little more than a puppet state dependent entirely upon Wallenia. this was confirmed when Wallenia actually annexed the grand duchy, The Wallene goverment however denied this accusation as Klinkenberg is not a part of Wallenia, However Wallenia also said that they are helping to re-construct Klinkenberg and to help it developing and growing. Once Klinkenberg is developed enough Wallenia will release it as an independent state. But the lack of intrest of an independent Klinkenberger state made it very hard to govern it
Klinkenberg had no constitution or organized economy and shares its economy with Wallenia. In its 7 day existance Klinkenberg received diplomatic recognition from only Wallenia, Mahuset and Viadalvia
