History
Limmared was started as a small kingdom known as Opensten in 1302 and was later merged with three countries, Kinds Kingdom, Sweden, and The Asarp Empire, forming the Glass Kingdom in 1405, which the Glass Kingdom went from a normal monarchy to a giant empire that rose as a great power and annexed the Netherlands, Berlin and some territories from Josephdaproland and Poland, and the Glass Kingdom has been also been at war with Josephdaproland. Then, the Glass Kingdom lost some territories because Josephdaproland occupied some Limmareder colonies. In mid-1650, the Glass Kingdom colonized the Kingdom of Kongo (now known as New Limmared), both the tribes from Kongo and the Glass Kingdom agreed to share their large supplies and market for gold.

In 1789, the Limmareder Revolution began, as the rebels want to overthrow the king and the priest of the empire because most people were sick of tired of living with the king and the priest's abuse of power and inequality. And thus the Glass Kingdom became a constitutional republic in 1802, the president decides to rename their country Limmared, and the name of their capital city is changed to "The Glass Square" as it was originally known as Limmared. Even, if it was a constitutional republic, Limmared didn't become a democracy until 1850, as the poor people and the middle class of the country, don't have the right to do anything like the rich people and people (so-called the locals) that are from the country's colony does. People had enough, so in 1849, they created a right-wing political party called Democrats, a nationalist, conservative and social democracy that allows all people to have rights, even if they are poor. The government has been overthrown in 1850 and thus Limmared became a democratic country.

Talk
Tjena (se-na) is currently a massively dominant greeting in Limmared and sometimes Hej (hey), is as well, the dominant greeting, useful on kings and bums alike. You can even say it when you leave. If you need to get someone's attention, whether it's a waiter or you need to pass someone one in a crowded situation, a simple "ursäkta" (say "OR-sek-ta") ("excuse me") will do the trick. You will find yourself pressed to overuse it, and you sometimes see people almost chanting it as a mantra when trying to exit a crowded place like a bus or train.

Some things get English names that do not correspond to the original English word. Some examples are light which is used for diet products, and freestyle which means "walkman". Limmared uses the metric system and in the context of distance, the common expression mil, "mile", is 10 km, not an English statute mile. Because of the distances involved, mil is used in spoken language even though roadsigns all use kilometers.

Foreign television programmes and films are almost always shown in their original language with Limmareder subtitles. Only children's programs are dubbed into Limmareder.
