This is a work-in-progress guys, so it still need some improvement. I have to format it to make it easier to read, but it's not that bad, i guess. Any comments/sugestions are welcome. :)

History:
In the XII century, there was a secret society in the portion of northern central Europe that would later be unified as Germany. They called themselves “The Clan of The Wolf”. This society was mostly dedicated to the exploration and studies. In 1195 A.D. they organized an expedition to search for the “Corners of Earth”. This expedition was composed of a fleet of 12 ships and 4 towed supply barges. After 2 months of traveling, the expedition arrived in an island now known as Wolfensland. The reason for this name was the big population of wolves that was discovered in the island. When they reported their discovery to the King of Germany, he became very interested on the new discovery, and begun funding the clan’s expeditions to the new land.

Within the Clan, there was an obscure faction who researched much more obscure secrets, such as black magics and such. By the year 1205 A.D., the Holy Roman Emperor, after being informed of these activities, ordered the capture of all known members of the clan. Most of its members then fled to Wolfensland, where they built a small colony, named Wolfensburg. This hidden colony grew timidly until 1442, when Frederick III removed the ban on the Clan. In 1450 Wolfensland was declared a German colony by its governor, Wilhelm Wolfstein.

In August 1914, on the verge of WWI, General Ulrich Hoth was sent by the German High Command to train a colonial garrison, so that the German garrison stationed there could return to Europe. He founded the 1st Wolfenslander Abteilung (or Wolfenslander Division), which fell under the German Army. The island was of strategic importance due to its localization just a few miles off of Canada. Two months after its creation, the 1st Wolfenslander Abteilung managed to repel a Canadian offensive on the island. In September 1917 however, a combined Canadian/American offensive managed to take over the island, on the Battle of Wolf’s Island. The island was made a British colony and occupied by Canadian forces until 1941, when a German Task Force “liberated” the Island.

During WWII Wolfensland became a German colony again and Sichereshafen, Südshafen and Grünestadt were important naval bases for the germans, as it allowed their U-Boats to operate continuously on the North American coast, and several Wolfenslander Battalions, equipped with German-made weapons were sent to Europe, where they fought along the germans in many battles between 1941 to 1945, such as:

The Battle of El Alamein - where a small Wolfenslandic Armored Detachment, composed of 4 Panther A Tanks and 10 PzKpfw III Ausf. F tanks fought under the command of Erwin Rommell.

D-Day – A small Wolfenslandic garrison was stationed in Gold Beach, together with German units

Berlin – Wolfenslandic troops were still fighting alongside the germans even after the fall of Wolfensland. About 1,500 Wolfenslandic surrendered to the Russians, and 951 died in the defense of Berlin.

In September 1944, Canadian troops invaded Wolfensland and occupied it until the end of the war, when Wolfensland was declared independent. There are still many vestiges of the Germany colonization in Wolfensland. The military, for example, still uses the German ranks.
