It is a developed and industrialized nation, with a high human development index. The nation has abundant resources and a fair economy. Annabe has very good civil rights and some political freedoms.

History

Prior to caucasian conquest, Annabe was populated by nomadic native tribes. Fossils and artifacts indicate that these people were advanced in their technologies, with evidence indicating that they had had a complex writing system, and were just starting to utilize gunpowder when caucasians arrived. The first documented arrival by a caucasian was Duke Farthing, in 1643, aboard the Bluebird. He landed at what is now Duke's Peninsula in Casseland. Duke and his crew made camp at the sandy beaches, traded with the natives and returned home. The first perminant settlement of caucasians was later that decade in 1649, when Olaf Erikson landed at the Stockholm point, and set up a town which was called Stockholm. The town flourished and gradually attracted more and more residents.

The first english settlement was Eldwin in what is now the Bedford Garden Province, in 1661. The town was founded by Duke Farthing, who had brought an entire naval fleet with him to settle this new land. By sometime in the 18th century, the city had been renamed Fisherton, after over 30,000 people lived in the city.

The first country to be set up was New Sweden, which was founded by Olaf Erikson's son, Sweno Olafson, in 1663. Prior to that Stockholm had no true government, and was in essential anarchy. When Erikson was assassinated, Olafson decided to institute a nation, which was New Sweden.

The next country to arise was the Bedford Gardens, which was the north coast going from New Sweden to Eluvatar, with Fisherton as its capital. It would only be until much later when Casseland and the Fort James Territories were formed.
