Flag

The flag is in the same shape as Greenland's flag. The flag however is consisted of a horizontal bi-color of white and black, with two semi-circles, making a full circle lightly askew to the left. The semi-circles colors are blue and orange. The orange and blue stand for the famously known gulba fruit, as well as the union between native Kahhlll people and the Nordic vikings from the distant past.

The black and white bi-colors not only stand for the orca (the national animal of Limberwisk), but also the ice, snow, as well as the soil that provides the enviornment for the gulba fruit. The black also stands for blood.

Coat of Arms

Going along with the flag, Limberwisk also has a coat of arms. It contains a shield with the same blue and white colors (with the same symbolic meanings), with an orca on the left, as previously discussed is the national animal. There is also a battle axe on the right and to the bottom is a black banner with Limberwisk written in the native Hush language.

Geography

The nation is situated between Norway Iceland and Greenland in the Arctic Circle, not far from the convergent zone between the North American and Eurasian plates. Limberwisk's capital and largest city is called Alkalai Clow, and only has one main highway connecting the city to the northwestern part of the country. The almost the entire western coast is uninhabited due to the terrain and frozen fjords.

History

The history of Limberwisk started in around the 1200’s when Denmark and Norway colonized Limberwisk. Limberwisk then became a constituent country of Denmark, being named “The Danish Constituent Territory of Lembeätvesk.” The country went through many cycles of trying to be completely independent from Denmark, and some of the people of Limberwisk had many failed attempts of different people groups trying to become sovereign nations. The most notable of these is The Kingdom of Barjakøer which had tried to become a kingdom in the year 1553 contolling many of the islands in the now province of Fjordland. But, Limberwisk soon gained its somewhat independence in 1820 and signed a peace treaty with Denmark. Unfortunately, in 1822 Norwegians took over the Hush Archipelago and letting Limberwisk become a partially recognized sovereign nation, being named “The Kingdom of Limberväsk.” However many conflicts sprouted and Limberwisk was trying to keep the nation’s divisions stable. With many native Hush people trying to become independent nations and even some minor ethnic groups, such as Norwegians trying to make other nations within the Hush archipelago, The Kingdom of Limberväsk was struggling to get the lands back on its feet. Soon, in 1843, Limberwisk, (at the moment, Limberväsk), brought most of the archipelago back together, and was re-named “Limbjerwisk.” The exception being a few islands near the coast of Eastern Mountland wanted to keep sovereignty of the country known as Mowsacøyer. This wasn’t seen as too much of a problem to the Monarchy contolling Limbjerwisk at the time, and frankly became a close ally of the small Republic. In 1911 started a war between Norway and Limberwisk, Limberwisk's army took north Jan Mayen and in 1913 it signed a peace treaty between Norway and Limberwisk. In WW1 Limberwisk was neutral, however the whole archipelago including the small Republic of Mowsacøyer, was invaded by the Soviet Union, and became a Communist nation, being again re-named to “The Communist Republic of Limberwisk.” In WW2, Germany started Operation North to take Limberwisk and Jan Mayen, however the plan was cancelled due to the extreme weather and with the many Soviet military forces causing Germany to withdraw from the plan. Limberwisk stayed a communist nation up until 1968, where the nation became a Democracy and was heavily influenced by the United States during the Cold War, the U.S. wanting Limberwisk to switch took action and ever since 1968 Limberwisk stands as a Democracy.
