+**** 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
+nation’s 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.
+
+What is now known as the Internet is born of a mix of ARPANET, the
+American standard, and Skruggmál, the Eittlandic standard. Eittland
+also became the first country off the coast of the United States to
+become connected to the American continent. It also became the main
+relay between mainland Europe and Northern America with one third of
+internet connections between the continent going through Eittlandic
+servers in 2015, although this number is slowly getting lower as new
+direct lines between Northern America and Europe are being laid.
+
+Eittland became one of the first countries to pledge on a national
+level in 1989 to conform to the Unicode standard when it would be
+ready, which came in effect on the publication of the first version of
+its standard on October 1992. The Teknikráðuneyt, the Eittlandic
+Technology Ministry, remained a full voting member of the Unicode
+Consortium from 1991 to 2006 and from 2015 until today. It is through
+its lobby that the first version of the Unicode standard integrated
+runes, Eittland’s official alphabet, and compatibility with the
+=ISO-EI-1a= through =ISO-EI-5c= encoding systems as well as various
+non-standard encoding systems used by minor Eittlandic operating
+systems.

+**** Eittland and the European Union (1994-present)
+Although it never applied for membership in the European Union,
+Eittland is still part of the European Economic Area as well as the
+Schengen Area, making it easy for European citizen as well as
+Eittlandic citizens to move freely in Europe. It joined these two
+organisations on their creation, in 1994 and in 1995 respectively,
+after signing both in 1992 and 1985 respectively.
+
+In 2008, due to the economic crisis and instability of the Eittlandic
+Krúna (*EIK*), discussions opened with the European parliament to adopt
+the Euro. Brussels accepted the application in 2013 and the Euro
+became the official Eittlandic currency in 2015. Eittlanders have a
+ten years window to convert their Eittlandic Krúna in Euros, which
+will become the sole currency accepted in Eittland starting January
+1st 2026.
+
+EU membership became an important debate topic in politics after the
+2013 in the Eurozone, however no official membership application has
+ever been sent to the European Union. Polls estimates paint mixed
+feelings from the Eittlandic people with only a thin margin putting
+either "yes" or "no" in front of the other when asked if people would
+like Eittland to join the EU, as seen below.

+**** Internet and Computer Boom
+Eittland is home to some of the largest websites in the world,
+considered the European counterpart to the United State’s Sillicon
+Valley. Some of its best known websites are Raustr, a podcast and
+blogging platform often compared to a Facebook or VK alternative, as
+well as Sønmek, a video streaming and sharing platform compared to
+YouTube and Twitch.
+
+An entire governmental department of the Teknikráðuneyt got assigned
+to developping and auditing the Linux kernel in 2011. Although it has
+no official name, it is often referred to as the *pengvinsstyrsamhald*,
+or *Penguins’ Batallion* in English. It was later integrated in a larger
+department dedicated to open source software in general.
+
+In 2014, the Eittlandic government announced fully switching to free
+and open-source software on all levels of government. This became
+fully effective in 2016, with all software developed for the
+government changing their license to the GPL-2.0 or AGPL-2.0 licenses
+and their source code available on the Teknikráðuneyt’s website.
