Furshire is a Penguin dominated country that gained it's independence from Puffle'and in 1712. Historically, the island was a safe haven for Penguins that were persecuted by the Puffish Parliament. Today, free puffles are not allowed to visit or live here unless they are accompanied by a Penguin that can act as an "owner". All puffles on the island today are either pets or wild. Nevertheless, the country is extremely prosperous in it's selling of it's artisan crafts, textile industry, fishing industry, apple orchards, and mining.

History

Originally, the islands were uninhabited until 1578, when a Puffish Puffle explorer named Sir David Greens, discovered the island and claimed it for Puffle'and. He set up a small colony called Gurnsbourgh (now the second largest city in the nation) which consisted of several penguins that served as his lower class sailors. Eventually, Sir David Greens brought more Puffish Penguins to the island to help them escape discrimination and persecution from the Puffish all Puffle Parliament. Eventually, the island eventually sought the welcoming of many other penguins for many centuries afterwards. The first city built on the island was Jacksmoor, which formed by combining two small Penguin villages, named Jackstowne and Bourghmoor together. The two villages grew into a town, later a city after they established a port to harbor ships. Jacksmoor became a hub for trade on the island and was deemed to be the colony's capital city by the Puffish King in 1594. The island eventually developed more and became home to many farms that produces common fruits and vegetables. However, apple orchards became popular across the island as it started to be the nation's main import. Things on the simple farming island changed drastically in the 1700's, when several Penguins of Nobility began to move to the island's cities. They started building lavish red brick mansions that towered over the small-one story homes of the commoners. Eventually, the sons of the nobles decided to move into the countryside and built their estates around a plantation. By the late 1700's, the cities of Jacksmoor and Gurnsbourgh transformed from a large cluster of one storied houses and several mansions into a bustling city with large apartment like building. in 1709 anti-Puffish movements started, secretly supported by the Governor that gained more and more support from the population of Furshire, causing fights between members of the movements and the Puffish soldiers. In 1711 the anti-puffish movements caused the Furshian War of Independence of. In 1712 the anti-Puffish forces won the war and Furshire became fully independent in May 3, 1712 when Governor Edward Dwight was declared King. The 1800's introduced the train, motorcar, and telephone to the island, who quickly modernized. In 1913, the Khanzem War broke out, which caused many soldiers to protect the island. Later, after the war, the capital, Jacksmoor was in ruins, the inhabitants tried to rebuild the city but the couldn't due to the Puffish military, the city was abandoned and they started to build a new capital. The city of Windham was finished in 1925. This city, built in the same classical European way like in Jacksmoor, continued to grow larger and larger, in 1934 it became the center of the political activities of Furshire, the palace and the castle of the Sovereign were built there and became the residences of the monarchs of the island. As the military presence restored order to the island and Windham became the new capital city. On May 7, 1978. William I ascended to the throne of the island with unanimous approval of the citizens and Furshirian Parliament. King William I ruled until 1999, when he died of old age. (He was born in 1893 and took office in 1978) His son, William II succeeded him to the throne. Today, Furshire is a prosperous island of trade and friendly farmers, hospitable townsfolk, as well as welcoming higher class penguins from the richer parts of Windham.
