The country originated back during the Norse Viking expedition into North America. The Vikings settlers successfully established a permanent settlement in North America, Vinland Kingdom. The Vinland was eventually abandoned by the Vikings due to the Christians crusades against the Norse faith, ending the Viking Age. Being cut-off from Europe and forgotten. Vinland people began diverging from its original culture. The Norse people interbred with the Native, forming a Vinish culture. The Norse religion was also syncretized with the Native American culture, forming what is known today as "Mon'Ran" religion. The settlers, mostly of Norse descent, gradually expanded their territory westward and southward.
The contact with European was re-established in the late 1400s when the surprised European explorer discovered the existence of white civilization in the North America. European powers, British and France attempted to colonize Vinland territory but violently kicked out by the Vinish warrior. Some ground in the West Vinland was successfully occupied by Britian, but further incursion into Vinland territory was stopped due to cost of lives and overwhelming Vinish presence.
