**** Eittland-Iceland Alliance
**** Eittland-Iceland Alliance (1948 - present)
When the war ended in Europe and Iceland gained its independence, a
referendum was held in both Eittland and Iceland regarding the
potential unification of the two countries, as both were already close
to one another both geographically and culturally. This however never
came to pass, as it failed both in Iceland with 54% of the voters
answering “no”, while 64% of Eittlandic voters also answered “no”.
referendum was held in both Eittland and Iceland on January 10th 1946
regarding the potential unification of the two countries, as both were
already close to one another both geographically and culturally. This
however never came to pass. In Iceland, 54% of voters voted against
the unification, while 64% of Eittlandic voters also answered “no”.
The two countries still entered a close alliance, Iceland relying on
Eittland for military protection while an economic alliance was made
between both of them, inspiring the Schengen Area some decades later.
It was thus possible for citizens of both countries to move freely
between Iceland and Eittland and live in either country as any of its
citizens would while goods could also be freely exchanged. Thus, in
1965, Páll Jónsson became the firts Icelandic citizen elected to
public office as the Town Master of Eldheim in Western Eittland.
The two countries still entered a close alliance in February 1948,
Iceland relying on Eittland for military protection while an economic
alliance was made between both of them. While it evolved in the
following year inspired by the organisations that preceeded the
European Union, some of its aspects later inspired the creation of the
Schengen Area some decades later. Iceland and Eittland integrated each
others economy tightly, while their industries interacted with one
another without any restrictions due to borders or customs. The
distinction in nationality also became largly irrelevant between the
two countries: only a few select governmental positions are still
reserved to the citizens of their birth country, generally linked to
high military ranks or secret services. It was thus possible for
citizens of both countries to move freely between Iceland and Eittland
and live in either country as any of its citizens would while goods
could also be freely exchanged.
Thus, in 1965, Páll Jónsson became the firts Icelandic citizen elected
to public office as the Town Master of Eldheim in Western Eittland. In
May 1982, Bárður Márusson became the first Icelandic citizen to be
elected to the House of the People, while Valgeir Þórinnson became the
first Eittlandic citizen to be elected to the Icelandic parliament in
April 1983.
**** Computer Sciences Pioneering
Out of personal interest, the then Co-King of Ðeberget Ragnarr
Sigurðsbróðr asked the Dean of the Royal University of Eittland to
open as quickly as possible a lab focused on the development of
computers and computer sciences. This accompanied a new law raising
the annual budget allocated to universities in Eittland to 9% of the
nations GDP. As the first lab grew in size and became more and more
proeminent internationally, even becoming one of the leading
laboratories along with MIT, Bell Labs and CERN, numerous other
laboratories both public and private appeared in Eittland.
Sigurðsbróðr asked the Dean of the Royal University of Eittland
(/Konunglig Eittlandsuniversitat/) to open as quickly as possible a lab
focused on the development of computers and computer sciences. While
the Co-King holds no power and is purely a ceremonial title, the Dean
obliged and founded the first Eittlandic computer science laboratory,
the /Konunglig Eittlandsuniversitatitsvétalsráðuneyt/ (litt. “Royal
Eittlands Universitys Computer Department”), or /Vétalsráðuneyt/ for
short. This accompanied a new law raising the annual budget allocated
to universities in Eittland to 9% of the nations GDP. As the first
lab grew in size and became more and more proeminent internationally,
even becoming one of the leading laboratories along with MIT, Bell
Labs and CERN, numerous other laboratories both public and private
appeared in Eittland. Nowadays, the /Vétalsráðuneyt/ is still regarded
as one of the top research laboratories and university department in
Eittland, and the /Konunglig Eittlandsuniversitat/ often ranks in the
top five universities in the world regarding computer science.
What is now known as the Internet is born of a mix of ARPANET, the
American standard, and Skruggmál, the Eittlandic standard. Eittland
