Welcome to the Official page about the Gothian National Park Agency, for short GNP.

We where created on the 1st January 1899, By King Christian IV and Prime Minister Jan Eriksson. The GNP was created 28 years after the first national park in Gotneska was created. The wurld famous Mount Eefje National Park. Located in the nations so called Fairy Mts. but officially the Kendovstrunmahhe Mountains. 
 

This is how we classify different types of National Park Sites!

National Park (NP): a scenic or historically important area of countryside protected by the federal government for the enjoyment of the general public or the preservation of wildlife.

National Heritage Site (NHS): is a heritage site having a value that has been registered by a governmental agency as being of national importance to the cultural heritage or history of that country.

National Historical Landmark (NHL): is a building, district, object, site, or structure that is officially recognized by the Kingdom of Gotneska’s  government for its outstanding historical significance.

 

(OOC this topic will go over a single National Park and how and when it became a National Park. It will include things like best camping, hiking area and etc.)

The last major eruption happen in the Summer of 1786. Records of the eruption are very hard to come by as the mountain is in a area of historical very low human population. But there are some famous Folk tales that date back to 1300 AD. That have added to the overall history of how humans lived with the threat of this massive Volcano erupting.

Tribal Republic of Nanaviit Environmental and Climate Administration.

Hello and welcome to our co-shared page of National parks, Historical places, Heritage sites. And much more. The reason we have decided to join the Gotneskan National Park form is one simple fact. If it wasn’t from them most of the lands now classified as park land or refuges are because of our time being part of the Great Goutian Empire.

We hope that you find all our places beautiful and amazing. And we like to thank our southern neighbors for kick starting our Environmental and Climate Administration.
