== History ==
=== Colonial Territories of Osterlicsh (18??1459-19??1954) ===
Brief introduction to history
A group of territories, which is referred to by historians as the Colonial Territories of Osterlicsh, were a group of three seperate colonial states established in what is now modern day Osterlicsh. Shidamits'a, which is now known as [[Landesinnerenland District|Landesinnerenland]], was founded in 1459 by the colonial explorers of [[Salovia]]. The settlement of this southern district was said to be the result of Salovian's exploring north in search of the western coast of Arcturia.
 
In 1603, Ethalrian settlers from the Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria arrive on the north-east coast of Osterlicsh. Ethalria would go on to be the strongest geopolitical influence of the three colonies to settle here.
=== Colonial Territories of Osterlicsh (18??-19??) ===
A group of three colonial territories, each owned by a separate power. Became unionised towards beginning to federal republic. Write about each territory separately.
Territories owned by [[Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria]], [[Norgsveldet]] and SomeoneElse?
 
It wasn't until 1790 when the Norgsveldetian explorers arrived in Landfskog, modern-Osterlich's western most district of [[Forstland]], that the Salovians became aware of the coastline they had been in search of. The Norgsveldetian arrivals established a foothold on the tropical territory and used the area for agriculture.
=== Osterlicshian Federal Republic (19??-1983) ===
 
Formed from three separate colonial territories between 1920 and 1950.
=== Osterlicshian Federal Republic (19??1954-1983) ===
Growing difficulties in the maintenance of the Colonial Territories throughout the first half of the 20th Century lead to the federalisation of Osterlicsh. On the 5th September 1954, as agreed by the three colonial powers, the three previously separate states were federalised under the Osterlicshian Federal Republic.
 
==== Ethalrification ====
During the late-1960s and early-1970s, the government of the Osterlicshian Federal Republic underwent an unofficial directive to convert the language and culture of the Shidamits'a and Landfskog districts. In doing so, the Federal Republic renamed the districts to Landesinnerenland and Forstland respectively. In addition to changing the names to Ethalrian, the government asserted that Ethalrian should be the official language for each of the states.
Conversion of former colonies individual styles, cultures, languages, etc into Ethalric/Osterlicshian during the Federal Republic.
 
=== Democratic Republic of Osterlicsh (1983-Present) ===
In 1983, the Osterlicshian Federal Republic experienced a coup d'etat, resulting in a three-day stand off and the formation of the Democratic Republic of Osterlicsh.

====== World Worker's Canal Project ======

As part of sweeping reforms to industry, newly-appointed Ronald Stemmler and his chairpersons embarked on a project to connect the oceans of Osterlicsh's east and west coast. The colossal undertaking would require approximately 1,110315 kilometres of canal in three separate sections and able to fit multiple ships side-by-side heading in alternate directions. The east and west mouths of the canal are known as the East and West Portals. Each portal has three entry and three exit lanes. This means that at any given time, one ship can be leaving the gate, one ship stabilising in the lock, and a third ship entering the gate. The canal segments and river has a number of smaller ports throughout its course, connecting the remained or Osterlicsh to the world.
 
The country appealed to the world stage for support in completing the canal by the year 2020. In exchange, the Democratic Republic of Osterlicsh promised a 50% cut in passage tariffs for vessels registered in nations donating. Below, the table lists what each participant country donated to the project.
Line 142 ⟶ 143:
The opening ceremony will be held on the 21st June 2020, the 38th Socialism Day (national anniversary), and boasts a host of world leaders, as well as networking events. State sources suggest the first vessel to transit the canal will be two [[People's Navy (Osterlicsh)|People's Navy]] Destroyers, which will both set off in opposite directions at the same time.
 
There is some controversy over the heavy involvement of the [[People's Border Guard (Osterlicsh)|People's Border Guard]], who are said to be preparing to heavily protect the canal against "unwarranted migration". It is not known whether this unwarranted migration is in referral to immigrants, or refugees.

I would therefore estimate that, with assistance from supporting nations, World Worker's Canal would take thirty years to complete.<br><br>In line with the idea of "New Osterlicsh", the re-branding initiative in 1990, this would mean that the project would be due to complete in 2020.

It seems I managed to mis-measure the canal and that it would be more likely closer to 1,110 km long (441 pixels). For continuity of roleplay, I will continue as planned, but this may be subject to revision after it has been concluded.
