== History ==
=== Colonial Territories of Osterlicsh (1459-1954) ===
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 discoverysettlement of this southern district was said to be the result of Salovian's roamingexploring 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.
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.

====== 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 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.
