History[]
The first expansion beyond what would later become called Fort Nick was Port Orman. Expansion east from Port Orman saw the rise of Cross Valley. The two communities formed a the first government district and government entity in 1st World naming it Council County. It was recognized for being the most orderly area in 1st World. Quickly other areas followed suit including Newfield County which grew very close relations with Council County. Later on, County Cavan followed suit.
Port Orman prospered as an area of trade and jumping off point for people planning to explore eastward and south. It was the main gateway to County Cavan and soon became a popular route to Newfield County connecting Port Orman to Ruby Beach.
Northern Country was formed out of Council County in Port Orman. It was decided that Rubicon and Port Orman would form a treaty to become one government entity. Council County would still exist as a district within Northern Country and it did. Rubicon then became the capital city of the newly formed Northern Country until eventually that status was passed along to the city of Congress.
While Council County became part of Northern Country, it still retained it's distance and often seemed like a world away from the hustle and bustle of Rubicon, Seahurst, and Congress far away.

The highway went from Fort Nick to Port Orman, then continued east through the Forestwood Territorial Park to Cross Valley. It was the most travelled road early on in world history. Roads and highways branch out in all directions from Port Orman.
