__//**Bill of Rights:**//__ The island was discovered in 2001 by a group of American citizens that were lost at sea. The emergency S.O.S. signal guided rescue ships to their location on the island. A few months later, a team was sent to investigate the island. After 6 months the island was colonized, and a year after that, it was peacefully made into a separate country. Our first king, King Mortan, discovered the underground tunnels that contained precious gems. He became extremely wealthy, and with his wealthy, developed Bertania into the successful country it is today.
