Longyearbyen wiki

Longyearbyen is the capital city of Svalbard. Longyearbyen was founded on October 9, It is one of the few towns located in the territory of the former Svalbard , and was the most devoted to restoring the nation. On November 2 of that year, the town was severely damaged due to raiding by Viking City, of White Russia. However, after a later expedition of Viking City's museum, it was learnt that they kept fakes in the frames and kept the artifacts for themselves. On the 6th November, ThundorLord and the other founding members of Longyearbyen had finally gotten enough gold to make a nation, Svalbard. Soon after, on the 7th, the official coronation took place, and Longyearbyen became the official capital city of Svalbard. The city quickly became enemies with Svalbard, due to the raiding incident stated above. Viking City looked to expand their foothold against the new town of Longyearbyen, so they built a base just outside of it. Since it was out of claims, and an enemy base, ThundorLord quickly greifed it and left a sign, the message is forgotten.

Coal mining started at the beginning of the 20th century, and several permanent communities such as Pyramiden or Barentsburg were established. The Svalbard Treaty established Svalbard as a free economic zone and a demilitarized zone. Research and tourism have become important supplementary industries, with the University Centre in Svalbard and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault playing critical roles in the local economy. Other settlements lie farther north, but are populated only by rotating groups of researchers.
