Conlang Conworld/De Nederbelg

The Netherbelgs is a small region (at least compared to those around it) occupying the equivalent of Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark (Luxembourg implied) in our world. The country used to be bigger, possessing our world's Austria, Switzerland, the Czech republic, most of west Poland alongside southern Sweden. These areas later became independant from the country as they weren't often considered part of the country; even by the citizens in the (mainland) country itself. But as of today, the country and its former regions get along (fairly) nicely as some of the regions still recognise Xynder as a minority language.

Map
On most Netherbelgen maps, only the ten most populated cities tend to be shown. The cities shown in decreasing order of population are:
 * 1) Zotterdell (Wzotadel)
 * 2) Froke (Vröke)
 * 3) Dukrone (Deukröan)
 * 4) Troder (Tröder)
 * 5) Choberg (Czobörg)
 * 6) Soer (Svöer)
 * 7) Euvo (Euvo)
 * 8) Dullen (Deulan)
 * 9) Shillan (Szylan)
 * 10) Queh (Qê)

Before the 19th Century
When the Netherbelgs was larger, its border with Fengeden was a problem as the two countries generally don't like each other. Several small wars took place at these borders which always resulted in draws; neither country gaining any advantage.

The Loss of the South-East (1850)
In 1850, the south-eastern regions of the Netherbelgs rebelled against the mainland. This was because the mainland often isolated the regions. The regions couldn't vote on laws which they still had to follow and they weren't permitted to possess or access an army. The neglected regions gathered in the east with their populations and rebelled, infiltrating into the east of the mainland. They eventually had to retreat upon encountering the army, but the regions refused to be part of country any longer and claimed independence. However, these regions refused to be part of Fengeden as they still hold the disfavour towards the country.

The Fading of the North-East (1873)
1873 gave the North-East region (Southern Sweden) their independence, though this wasn't because they wanted to. The region faded from the country and became indepent as a decision of the mainland. This was because the region was quite out of reach from the mainland and they often had to support themselves in terms of an army. The region even had a different currency and a portion of the law was ignored; mostly as a result of poor communication. Being isolated, the region became independent but gets along very well with its former country. The countries still often make trades with each other at the city of Tröder, hence the name. Before the isolation, the city was a small village which went by the name of Röden but as more trades took place, the city grew to become the 4th most populated in the Netherbelgs.
