Elutheria and Valeska existed as two independent nations until their unification to a confederal unit in 1786. Both Elutheria and Valeska maintained their own governments and leaders who legislate over internal affairs while the confederal government holds power over defence, broadcasting, foreign affairs, commonwealth political policy, and matters which affect the commonwealth as a whole.
Valeska maintains a monarch who acts as a ceremonial head of state for the Valeskian people. However, the monarchs role is superseded by the commonwealths elected president who is head of the Commonwealth government and commonwealth head of state..
The commonwealths capital is located in the Elutherian capital Corbin. The city is also home to the Elutherian peoples government buildings too.

Short history: The city of Carthage was founded on 500 BC, it endured many hardships, such as the Roman invasions and pests. Around the year 330, Numidia and the Republic of Sicily have pledged themselves as vassal states for the now-mighty city-state. With the ascension of the Arabic Empire by 900 AD, and the incoming invasion, the states united themselves on an new powerful nation - the Republic of Bylazoria. After withstanding five centuries of endless war against the middle eastern fanatics, the Arabs retreated to their lands. This gave way to the expansion towards the rich lands of Mali, famed for their great gold mines. This gold funded the first Golden Age, along with the new trade agreements with the rising powers of Freedomstaki, Pons Aelius and Montiferru. After an bloody war against the Republic of Limington, the economy started to decline, until the discovery of oil and its subsequent usage on trader vessels and trains. Bylazoria spent the 20th century as an less developed nation. But, in the dawn of the 21th century, many IT multinationals started to install themselves on the Republic, giving freeway to strong economic growth and the foundation of Sealong Corporation, today one of the greatest IT companies of the world.

-National Bio-
Faestos is an old Minoan colony, established by King Minos himself aprox. 4 milennia ago and inhabited by Minoan and Basque people. Eventually became so large in strength that it declared autonomy and survived the downfall of the mighty Minoan Civilization.
Its people are sturdy, yet kind and hospitable and invest passion in everything they do and the women are considered extremely erotic without ever trying to be. Faestian Museums are filled with their ancient artworks and craft remnants. Also seeing the environmental destruction of the globe, they developed an environmental awareness and are considered among the most environment conscious people in the world. As such their country is noted for its many lush forests and wildlife.
Faestos is a prime destination for tourists intrigued by its past and its preserved nature. A moderate estimation gives a number of roughly a billion eco-history minded tourists visiting it each year, filling the national treasury with international currency, helping the process of trade.
Faestos focuses its finances for the good of its people, but also Eco Technology and Information Technology, however lately there has been a massive upgrade in order to eventually be able to create its own weaponry. That's not to say the fertile land doesn't produce a multitude of other products, like olives, oil, livestock, fruit, wine and many more.
Modern day Faestos, occupies mainly the shores of the Iberian Peninsula, though a part of the mainland is also included, retaining both elements of a mariner civilization from Minoans and sturdy landers from the Basques.
-Description-
The Commonwealth of Faestos is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate population of 1,141 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, Defence, Social Welfare and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 96%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry and to a lesser extent by the Arms Manufacturing industry.
The nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- was developed a great many years ago and the nation's second generation space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle as well -- is being currently developed, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, voting is compulsory, and a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed.
The number of students attending university has reached a record high, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, and a vast monorail network carries people all over the country. Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Nomiss each year.
Due to the ongoing wars in neighboring countries, a recent rash of illegal immigrants have arrived at the borders of Faestos; after suggestion of the Faestos Civil Liberties Union the nation welcomes these refugees from any nation, as they are fleeing oppressive dictatorial regimes usually. The government pours millions of Nomiss into rehabilitation programs annually, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants and Faestos's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers.
Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and voting is voluntary. Faestos jails are fully private and partially funded by inmates, that work in their chosen fields, which is also the reason there is no death penalty. Artists are pillars of society, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Faestos's radio stations and anti-government web sites are springing up.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the well funded, all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faestos's national animal is the Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Nomis.

Full name: The Federal Empire of Cirsinus Sort name: Cirsinus Date of unification/Independence: 1582AD Government type: Federal constitutional monarchy Head of state: Monarch Head of government: Chancellor Capital: Belisaere Largest city: Belisaere Currency: Federal Reich Mark Major industries: Finance and services, Heavy & light manufacturing, Vehicle manufacturing, Chemicals, Tourism, Agriculture, Information Technology, Mining. Main imports: Engineering products, Textiles and clothing, Electronics, Tobacco & other convenience items. Main exports: Electrical goods, Coal/Oil, Foodstuffs, Specialized software, Raw materials, Chemical goods. Language(s): German and English National tree/Flower: (NONE) However, tulips and roses are popular. National animal: Persian Fallow Deer
National Bio- Cirsinus declared its independence in 1582AD after years of mismanagement by the Hellensburg Empire: A now defunct political entity which Cirsinus was once a part of.
Before 935AD Cirsinus as a nation or even as a region did not exist. The region was sparsely populated by pockets of Germanic tribes called Cyrsinotions. Around this point the expanding Hellensburg empire had reached the Cyrsinotion territories and began establishing trade routes and a military presence.
Cyrsinotion villages such as Belisaere,Bann,Blufort and Pindorph were fortified by the Hellensburgs and connected to the new trade routes. These developments caused the gradual increase of population in the regions villages and towns.
Within 200 years the Cyrsinotion region had been transformed into a developed and wealthy constituent part of the empire. The once villages of the region were now large towns and the region also had a string of ports along its coastline exporting the regions many products to different parts of the empire.
By the 1180's the region had officially adopted the name of Cirsinus. The region had became one of the primary economic hubs in the empire with much wealth located in the regions main cities. it was agreed that the town of Belisaere had became the regions centre of commerce and wealth. Because of this the traders council of Cirsinus was located in the town. The imperial army also had the main HQ's for its Cirsinusian divisions in the town.
Before long the empire had to appoint administrators to the region so it's growing day to day functions could be managed more efficiently. Again Belisaere was picked for the location of the administration HQ for Cirsinus.
Over the coming centuries Cirsinus began to developed it's own individual culture and social structure. The wealth the region was generating afforded it the creation of grand cities and a number of major ports with a strong regional infrastructure.
By the mid 1300's the now massive Hellensburg empire had grown to such an extent that it was becoming difficult to maintain its far off borders. Funds were needed for the creation and maintenance of new forts,soldiers,material,wages and the building of new settlements. As a result taxes were increased across the empire and in Cirsinus.
The empires continual expansion had caused a number of smaller city states to declare war on the empire out of fear of being swallowed by the huge unstoppable giant. The empire was very wealthy but had spread so far that its outer borders had become poorly defended. The imperial court in the empires capital (Novemgrod) decided to hugely increase tax and confiscate materials for the funding of the border defences.
Many of the city states warring with the empire were trading partners with the Cirsinus region and the trading council in Belisaere and the general population had become angered at the growing depletion of their wealth.
By the early 1400's the empires luck had not changed and many forts and towns along its borders had long since been abandoned. Much of the empires wealth had been depleted and it had became clear that if it kept losing ground that it would not see out another century.
Many regions of the empire had been granted special devolved powers to handle local affairs as a result of the central government being fully preoccupied with the border wars with a number of growing in power city states and its own weakening economy.
The trading council of Cirsinus and the Cirsinus administrative office in Belisaere signed agreements which merged the two units into a single economic and governmental entity. The new local government took the name 'Council of Cirsinus'. The local forces of the imperil army based in Cirsinus had began to develop their own military culture and had been instructed by the imperial government to take orders from Cirsinus regarding matters not important enough to concern the central government.
By the close of the 1400's the empire had lost its grip over many territories to its enemies. The imperial government brought in a number of economic reforms and tried to strengthen the empire but much of the empires fabric had been destroyed by more than 150 years of continual war.
The Council of Cirsinus had began the process of distancing itself from the central government and trying to offer the people of the region hope for a war free future. After the Cirsinus region was invaded and desolated by an enemy of the empire the people demanded that the Council of Cirsinus step in and defend their interests. With the support of the people the council passed a bill declaring that it would remain subordinate to the empire unless a situation developed which demanded the council to act on it's own accord I.E an emergency. The elements of the military based in Cirsinus signed the bill declaring that they would fall under the control of the council of Cirsinus should such an emergency happen. The final article of the bill stated that the Council of Cirsinus would now be known as the Assembly of Cirsinus. On a number of occasions the bill also referred to 'the Cirsinus people' the government of Cirsinus' and 'the nation of Cirsinus'. This bill was called the 'Alpha bill of foundation' and is agreed to be the original birth certificate of the nation.
By 1578AD the empire was effectively impotent in its functions. The capital had been abandoned by the central government 4 times in three years. The emperor and his family had left the city 10 years before for his country villa. When he died 2 years before the central government and the people did not make a request for his son to return to the capital to be inaugurated, and the prince made no move to take his fathers place. As a result the government had to filled the role. However, once the capital city was burned by an enemy killing most elements of the central government and forcing the city to be largely abandoned very few new orders went out to the men fighting the wars. The battles were now no longer at the borders of the empire, they were now being fought in its heartland.
When word got out that the capital had fallen Crisinus enacted the Alpha bill of Foundation and declared a state of emergency taking control of all the regions affairs including defence.
The last remaining available divisions of the imperial army were sent into Cirsinus to burn its capital Belisaere and retake control of the region. Within 10 months of war the government of Cirsinus declared unilateral independence from the empire and the war became a war of independence. The empire had no reinforcements to give the soldiers fighting against Cirsinus and no clear chain of command as the empire had started to disintegrate from the top levels of government to the bottom.
In 1582 the forces of the empire fighting Cirsinus surrendered at the battle of Oranjeton. The general commanding the imperial army in that region was brought to Belisaere .There he signed the surrender which acknowledged that 'The government of Cirsinus accepted the surrender of the forces of the Hellensburg Empire'.
With no forces of the empire left in that whole region and the empires capital now occupied by another nation. Cirsinus recorded that it had defeated the last forces of the empire and with a high general signing the surrender it had validated its independence.
The remaining elements of the empires government disappeared from history. it was recorded that the government left the capital and moved to a settlement to the west, an area still loyal to the empire. However, no record of it after this point was recorded. It was presumed that once that western region fell the government finally collapsed.. if at all it did survive after leaving the capital.
The last territory of the empire fell in 1587 and was retired to history.
Cirsinus recovered from the wars and expanded over time. The government appointed a royal family to work in partnership with the central government. Wealth had returned to Cirsinus and by the mid 1600's Cirsinus had established itself as an economic force in the region.

National tree/Flower: Palm of Paradise National animal: Black Panther
National Bio-
Ixzara was taken over in 1814 by Russia when the region was abandoned by the Italic tribes that formerly occupied rome some 700 years earlier. Although Russia had claimed control of the region since the 1500s, it was not recognized due to the lack of population in the area (estimated at some 120,000 in 1812). However in the 1840s after having seen the european nations lose their claims in latin america, Russia decided to give the region the status of a "depencency". Even thought the region remained quiet for most of the century, in 1897, tension between the central government and the dependency began after troop movements from the central government were detected near the eastern border of the region, whose population at the time skyrocketed to near 12.3 million, causing mass opposition within the dependency.
In 1912 during WW I, the region claimed a short period of independence as several Pons Aelius and Freedomstaki troops occupied the area in an attempt to keep Germany from taking over the Balkans and Italian peninsula.
However in 1918, after all the troops withdrew from the region, several Russian infantries stormed the region in several large-scale attempts to "secure" the region. Casualties in the area were estimated at above 3.6 Million, outraging the rest of the world, and sparking several protests within Russia and several of the nations bordering it. Protests in a province known as Chechnya were so bad troops were sent in to quelm the fighting, which unfortunately proved succesful after 1.2 Million civilians were killed in the provincial capital.
In 1943, the region was lost to Germany which occupied the region for the sole purpose of killing anyone of non-aryan blood. However, the intelligent population fled the area en masse to Chechnya for political assylum, leaving the region with a population of less than 5,000 people.
Althought the Soviet Union reclaimed the region in 1947, with no people to govern, the central government encouraged the people of other nations to emmigrate to the region for new opportunities. Most of the immigrants came from the Iberian and Italian peninsula, bringing with them their language and their customs, and by the 1960s the region had developed its own language, a mixture of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, further making the area seem less and less a Part of Russia and more and more a Seperate nation.
In 1970, due to a language barrier, Ixzara and the Soviet Union engaged in hostilities that boasted international support for the region to push for independence that was supported by the 132 Million inhabitants of the province who by now were extremely tired of the oppression that the dictatorship government expelled.
Things seemed to go from bad to worse when in 1974, the Government threatened to drop nukes on the nation if it did not seize to stop the fighting. The nations of Freedomstaki, Pon Aelius and Roma Hawaiiana delivered their own threats to Russia if such an event happened to Ixzara.
In the 1980s things began to take off as the Soviets found themselves about to go bankrupt and with threats pouring in globally and the government on the verge of collapse, decided to retain the region at all costs by blockading the ports of Ixzara and several ports in the Mediterranean and Northern Atlantic ocean. In 1984, Chechnya home to several former-ixzaran exiles, also declared independence further straining the Soviet economy, which collapsed in 1986.
in 1987, several Soviet buffer states began to aid the Russians by lending them military equipment and money, China went far enough as to start giving them ships and Jets to crush the rebellion. When government officials from Pons Aelius were witness to the disaster and catastrophe in the neighboring region, troops were mobilized along the Ixzaran border prepared to do do a total invasion of the area to clear out any active Soviet troop not already taken as a POW.
By 1989, several large areas were falling into Russian hands as lack of funding began creating shortages in the Ixzaran military leaving several gaps in the capabilities in the nations military.
By 1990, things looked grim. Over 60% of the region was now in Soviet hands, and even with the Chechnyan co-revolution, The Soviets were somehow managing to space out their troops and crushing their revolutions.
Relief came late in 1991 when the people of several of the other Soviet provinces grew tired of the constant oppression of their government, and in December of that year decided to over throw it.
This came as good news in the Ixzaran Republic because Russian troops were withdrawn from the area to insure Russia's other borders and because of the Chechnyan co-revolution, and within a period of 6 months, reclaimed its lost territory and began the final assault to claim independence.
And finally, in 1994, cooperative attacks between the Ixzaran Military and Belgian Air Force, were able to successfully capture St. Petersburg in Russia, and almost immediately, peace talks began.
In 1997, an agreement was reached. St. Petersburg would be returned to Russia, if Russia agreed to recognize independence of the region as well as pay the newly formed nation an estimated 235 Billion dollars for damage as well as starting funds, and in 1998 the region declared itself the "Holy Ixzaran Republic". Which by 2003, reached 1st world status and a population of 553 million and counting.
And in 2005, when Russian troop mobilizations were detected near the national border, the Ixzaran Armed Forces made quick of the situation by immediately seizing St. Petersburg. Although the Russian troops were withdrawn from the Area, the Ixzaran government annexed the city as an Independent Commonwealth in 2006, and challenged the Russian government to attempt to reclaim the city of some 12 million people.
In 2007, Russian leader, Vladimir Putin recognized the Ixzaran claim and withdrew all troops from the area and signed a Non-hostilities pact with the Ixzaran Leader Ricardo Sigala dos Salerno, and resumed in diplomacy with the rest of the world.
In 1997 the country celebrated its bicentennial in its capital, Ciute di Laurana, or Laurana City, with the "Marcha di Los Angeles", a military parade celebrating the victory over which the National Revolutionary Army was successfuly able to recapture Laurana City in 1992. The spectacle was shown worldwide as the march took place in the newly reconstructed capital city on the "Avenida Belgica" or Belgian Avenue, the route the Belgian Army followed during the recapture of the capital in 1992.
