History
The Republic of Norfolk
Norfolk was originally founded by Patrick Foley around 2000 as one of the early sister states of Audentior and the Flying Islands of Jasonia, thus making it one of the early Apollo Sector micronations. Since Patrick was an avid fan of the United States Navy and eventually would choose that venue for his career, Norfolk was strictly modeled along naval lines. In its time it was known for having a large battleship with its guns firing for the background image of its forum. Norfolk was involved in a number of wars and made use of its vast navy, typically being confined to a geographically small coastal area - land which it maintains to this day as a county of Shireroth. It was involved in the Infernal War between the People's Republic of Hell and the Flying Islands of Jasonia, whereupon at one point the Infernals seized the Norfolkian forum - which at the time was considered a virtual checkmate - and Blackrock interjected and took it back, but not before imposing some of their humor on it by changing the forums to pink girlish colors. After these events the Republic slowly went inactive until it was eventually annexed by Shireroth.
The original flag was for red stars on a black background.
The County of Norfolk
After the plague trade from the other counties dried up and many Norfolkians turned to piracy. The county government is more active again in resisting them, but the pirates remain a powerful force, led by Captain Rackham.
