The History of Norway
Yan Hoek
A while back I announced I was foolishly going to write the full history of eNorway. I wanted to give the people of this fine and fair land a true and honest picture of what the hell has happened here over the past 3 years.
You can see the work in progress on the wiki: History of Norway
If you have a look and find some horrendous gaps you think you can fill please let me know. I am missing a lot of info about the political parties, esp. in the early days, but I am working on it!

Well done, I understand it must be a lot of work. Too bad we didn't write down history from the old days, which were actually very interesting. I do remember quite a lot of the things going on from the beginning of 2008 (for example that Sweden were first planning on invading Norway when the war module was coming for the first time, but we signed a Non-Agression Pact with them instead, and combined we had more than a third of the new world's population), but not too many exact dates.
If you go back in some newspapers of old players like me you can find some facts though. Just going back to one of the earliest articles in my own newspaper - http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/the-technocratian-2797/14">http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/th[..]97/14 (then called Politikken or something, a politically neutral paper), you can find that the original Binary Party was first created on the 2nd of January, and stuff like that. I'm more than happy to answer any questions about the old times, to the best of my memory. I guess there's not too many oldies left here anymore...
I wrote two articles I like to think are pretty good detailing the rise and fall of the Norwegian empire:

@heivoll - thanks! I've pretty much exhausted info from eRep tools/the forum/other wiki pages so my next step was to sift through the papers to try and pin down other events.
@KristofferAG - Those articles were my starting point! All I'm trying to do here is continue the good work you started.
Exciting project.
Nice Yan!
Very good! I hope you don't give up!
