History
NOVA was founded on the 4th of Summermoon in the first year, and was established on an island on the northwestern edge of the Ocean. NOVA was the 2nd nation to be established.



On the 28th of Summermoon of year 2 a massive Island expanstion was begun by BoxeyBrown, this expansion lasted until... and increased the island by more than 10 times it's original size.

Late in year 2 there was a shortage of food due to member expansion and lack of farm expansion. During this time members were forced to survive on cookies from Lacias' secret stash. The food shortage soon ended as the seasons grew warmer again.

Ideology
Vikings are often mistaken for savage brutal warriors, who's only goal is to pillage and fight; but truly, vikings are simply peaceful sea-faring people. NOVA is a trade focused nation, but is ready to defend with a strong proficiency in axes. Axe training is usually done in the Hall of the Axe.

Diplomacy
NOVA is currently allied with Heroes of Oblivion and is engaged in war with the nation Cylvan.

Landmarks
On the 1st of Fallmoon in the first year, Zogdilla completed construction of the United Vikings Lighthouse.

On the 20th of Fallmoon in the first year, BoxeyBrown began construction on the Tower of Asgard. The superstructure of the tower was completed on the 8th of Fogmoon in the first year.



BoxeyBrown constructed Tower of the Nords between the 26th and 29th of Wintermoon in the first year.



The King Norseman was contructed by BoxeyBrown on the 27th of Summermoon in the second year.
