The Shellieq Kingdom (1000 BCE - 1785 CE)[]
Between 1000 BCE and 1726 CE, the tribes united to build tall buildings and made roads and schools and used a wheel to pull heavy loads. In 400 CE, the tribes made paper from sea trees. It was a paradise being in an old but fresh island. Almost everything was perfect.
Discovery from New Kelpland (1726 - 1951)[]
In 1726, explorers came and waged war on the Shell Islandites. After 59 years, they surrendered. The newcomers built sturdy houses and introduced the ox and horse. Good times and bad times arose. The natives rebelled four times within ten years of colonial rule. Shellburg became a trade center. New Kelpers envied the precious shell gems near the coastline and often exchanged horses and oxen to the natives for the shells. Because shells were so precious, the governor of the island renamed it to Shell Island. In 1902, the first car drove in the island. But people wanted freedom and fought the New Kelpers and won in 1951. The hard times came to an end.
A New Nation (1951 - 1988)[]
