Frisia
Frisia is a cluster of districts latched onto the North Sea, stretching from Northern Holland in the Netherlands, past Germany, and up to the southern border of Denmark. Frisia is often divided into three parts—West, East, and North. West Frisia is in the Netherlands, and includes portions of the Dutch provinces of North Holland, Drenthe, and Groningen, as well as all the province of Friesland.
East Frisia is in the German state of Lower Saxony. Its districts include Aurich, Leer, Wittmund, the city of Emden, and parts of Saterland. It’s perhaps worth noting that the district bordering east of Wittmund is also called “Friesland.” Unfortunately, its citizens refuse to be included in East Frisia. Don’t ask me why.
North Frisia is in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. It’s mainly the district of Nordfriesland and (depending on who you ask) the district of Dithmarschen.
I’m tempted to include more districts, but I don’t want to offend any German people. While there are some districts—such as Friesland in the Netherlands and Nordfriesland in Scleswig-Holstein—that are almost entirely Frisian, many of the other districts have only pockets of Frisians surrounded by regular Dutch or Germans. So I played the territorial claims conservatively. If there’s one thing Frisian history teaches us, it’s that we’re content to tend our farms and mind our own business. Unless, of course, you raise the taxes to unreasonable levels. In that case, we’ll most likely storm the government office, hang the tax collector, and start a revolutio
