General information
Fortem was a part of Italy. Italy originally had a democratic system, but parts of it started changing before WW2. The government system started to break into two different systems. The area, now the country Fortem stayed a democratic system, and the rest of Italy started to change in to a new system: Dictatorship. The Northern part of Italy did not agree with most things that were happening when Italy started to lean towards a dictatorship. Italy eventually agreed to leave the North part of Italy with a democratic system, and have the rest of Italy controlled by a dictator. Before World War 2 started, the North part of Italy knew that a world war was about to start. They knew that Italy was allied with Germany and Japan, forcing them to fight, even though the Northern area of Italy did not agree with fighting for Germany, Italy and Japan. Once this was recognized, the government of the northern part of Italy verbally fought against the rest of Italy, eventually leaving the country for independence on the 2 of March, 1939, which is the day Fortem was created. Even though Italy was not happy about the division of its country, they agreed to help Fortem if something bad were to happen to their country. This happened when Italy was still a democratic system, a few months before Benito Mussolini started to take over.
As Fortem was no longer part of Italy, they were not part of the Alliance with Germany and Japan. They stayed a neutral country along with Switzerland. They did not want to be allied with any country, but eventually became an ally with Switzerland, on the agreement that both countries stay neutral. If one country decided to fight for no reason, then the other country has the choice if they want to fight with them. Their alliance is more of a back-up, so that they will help each other if things went bad, but not to actually fight physically.
When World War 2 started, families from different countries started to flee to Fortem. They came from different sides: Some came from Italy, Germany, Britain, France and Spain. As Fortem is a neutral country, they allowed the different people from different countries in to their country, as long as they agreed to not fight each other in Fortem. More and more people started to flee their countries to move to Fortem to start a new life. They needed to leverage the natural resources around them to survive, such as growing crops and farming. Together with the favorable and temperate climate of the region, this marked the beginning of increased agriculture and organic farming, which was one of the main reasons how Fortem became so successful as a stand-alone country so rapidly.
Italy spiraled out of control because of the war and the alliance to Germany and Japan. After Italy’s dictator was shot and killed during WW2, the government system changed back to a democratic one. Italy offered Fortem a way back in to Italy by merging the two countries together again. However, at this point, Fortem was filled with multicultural people from different countries, and did not want to be reunited with Italy again. Fortem wanted to remain independent and have its own cultures and lives.
After WW2 ended, the people that fled their own countries decided to remain in Fortem and continue building their new lives there. This was the start of the different cultures that were integrated in to Fortem to what it is today. Furthermore, the influx of people from different countries also brought in many different languages into Fortem.
In different parts of Fortem, Spanish, English, Italian, German and French are all spoken fluently in that particular region. As these people came almost at the start of when Fortem was created, the different languages, cultures and religions were easy accepted. Everyone started to broaden their knowledge about the different languages, cultures and religions and started to accept that everyone is different.
There were many debates through the years if Fortem should be allied with Switzerland. Some citizens really wanted the country to be allied to Switzerland, to keep Fortem a neutral country, and to make sure they do not get allied with Italy. Other citizens were against it, because they were worried that if Switzerland lost its neutrality, they would have to fight to get any new alliance.
Generally, as Fortem is a relatively new and neutral country, history cannot impact the future of the country as Fortem would not reunite with Italy. The only thing that could potentially impact the country is if Switzerland or Fortem decided not to be neutral anymore. This could be a major problem, because they are in alliance, and both countries are content to be neutral. Neither of them have any plans to not be neutral anytime soon. There is no reason for other countries wage war against Fortem because of its neutrality.
