History

Lidwinia as an island was ruled by the Tiilargan dynasty until 12 Before Zom-Tás, when the Novotopians seizen power. Lidwinia became a crown colony of Novotopia, but resistance came to being when the Novotopians appeared to have a cruel way of ruling the island, with huge iron stocks north of Vulj-Glačo and when a plain peasant with extraordinary football talents, Noljym Traistams was brutally murdered by the troops of the Novotopian regent Sybrand Grinwis I, native Lidwinians gathered near the Passo Crombach in central Lidwinia and discussed the matters. Zom-Tás xom čal Nuram rised up and took the lead over the Lidwinian liberation army. After a bloody war that lasted 4 years, the nation was liberated and Zom-Tás was hailed as King Zom-Tás the Great (Also known as Jan-Kees van der Molen).

In 32 After Zom-Tás, the Novotopians attacked again. They quickly seized Vulj-Glačo after murdering about 40% of it's resillient population in an uneven battle. Sources speak of catapults and heavy infantry against peasants and lightly armed Archers, led by a man named Marc Orbons, about whom there is no more information found. Calixtlahuaca was no match either, while 2109 Llama Riders managed to uphold the Vast Novotopian troops for 23 days near the Passo Crombach, before the army camp was bruned to the ground and all inhabitants were killed.

Meanwhile, the Novotopian fleet conquered Jergild, and reached the docks of the city Totopolis. The Totopolitans called for aid from the Archers from Xročetoxtos, the Ivory City that was under siege as well. However, Xročetoxtos managed to send the Elite Archers Brigade led by Verek ča Ottiloja. This brigade managed to defeat the Novotopian forces at Totopolis though most, including their leader, perished. The Novotopian fleet was destroyed by a kammikaze action by the Lidwinian fleet, led by Admiral Zunol Glannal. Survivors of this clash flocked to Lidwinia and found the island village of Nuzomes on the Vólial Islands at the coast of North-East Lidwinia.

The Novotopian sieging army conquered Xročetoxtos and crushed the last Totopolitan defenses easily, before moving North to the capital: Sejea de Lidwinia. The march was stopped by the last remnants of Lidwinian forces. At the great Battle at the Lidwinaveldje. 270 000 Novotopians faced 37 403 Lidwinians, led by Zilleóm Galtwuij and Aččea Somčals. The Archer brigade of the Lidwinians managed to hold the storming troops for several minutes, but the lines were broken and the city of Sejea de Lidwinia was lost.

What happened after this day is not clear, since the National Archive at the Monte Tiwone complex was destroyed. It is clear though that at a certain moment, probably around 45 after Zom-Tás, a popular uprising in Xročetoxtos overthrew the power of the city guard and a young soldier named Junnea xom Sum came to power. Based in Xročetoxtos the Lidwinians managed to reclaim Lidwinia in a matter of years. Junnea xom Sum was pronounced King of Lidwinia.

Almost all Lidwinians are member of the Lidwinian Football Confederation
