Work Life
Allan Egeval published his first book in -61Ð. In the book, he talked about the future of Årania, solely based on theories and no evidence. The book is criticized by experts today and seen as light propaganda, because there was no evidence and only made Åranians feel confident, without teaching. His next book however, "Death of a Kingdom", published in -57Ð was seen as a complete success by experts today, for the creation of the book, Allan Egeval travelled around the unoccupied Årania meeting experts and locals. In "Death of a Kingdom", he explained that the Lanborg Empire was lying about its development of army and was going to be crushed by resistence to eventually lose the war. In -52Ð, he released his next world-famous book, "Crime blooms into Riches" talking about how Åranian economy will flourish after the War of Dignity. Both of his explained theories were correct and Årania won the War of Dignity in -48Ð. The monarch of Årania, Gunnar af Hoogbjerg, gave Egeval a medal and a monetary prize. With the money, he could stop his travels and bought a house in Vesgrot. According to him, in his hometown he "felt his inner peace" and "was happier than ever", publishing books about politics and life.
Creation of the Commonwealth
In -11Ð, Allan Egeval was reached out to by the Åranian president, wanting to liberate Lanborg from the dictatorship under Einar II, as the Treaty of Vesgrot would run out soon. Over the next 2Ð, Allan Egeval created a peace plan with the creation of a Commonwealth of nations, united under a single constitution and units of measurement. For this he met many politicians, physicists and theoricians from around Årania, Thorildhøj, Kalkdui and Pantokyst. Then, an ultimatum was made, that until 6Ð Einar II should hold independent votes, else the Northern Coalition will invade the Lanborg Empire.
After small protests have been turned down, a conspiracy got through the people, to assemble at all squares of Lanborg, including Melon Square right before 0Ð.
