History
Saxony was a very young nation, only existing since the collapse of Prussia after the raids. Himmeljord was a nation established in 1093 under the name of 'Kingdom of the Kalmar' which would be changed to Himmeljord in 1483. Around 1495, Himmeljord allied themselves with the Kingdom of Sweden (Now the Royal Scandinavian Empire) and Prussia, who acquired them with their first sets of weaponry (guns.) Himmeljord, after the raids, went to war against the Kingdom of Schleswig-Holstein, and in a mishap in the treaty, only took Holstein. War was soon redeclared and Schleswig-Holstein was formally annexed. Himmeljord layed low, joining the Holy Roman Empire upon it's formation. A formal request was made to the Holy Roman Empire in 1554 to unify with Saxony. Upon both nations agreeing to the union, the nations merged into Himmeljord-Saxony. The Himmeljord colony of Vinland was traded in 1601 with the Irish in exchange for some tax exemptions and lowerings, and the re-inforcement over Himmeljord claims in New England. The Current Flag of Himmeljord-Saxony is a combination of the Saxony and old Himmeljord flag. The flag is meant to equally represent both nations.
