3. History-
Mijahkistan has a very rich history. In the year 2032, a war had broken out between many of the Middle Eastern nations of the time due to stresses presented over oil trade and rivaling tribes. Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan played the largest roles in this war. The war was hottest right where present day Jerkifistania stands today which was then known as Tashkent. Many battles were fought in the city and it was in complete ruin. During the closing days of the war, Kyrgyzstani troops amassed and marched into Tashkent for the night to rest before a final assault on the rest of Uzbekistan. Uzbekistani troops met them there to wipe them out. After much battling Uzbekistani troops were being slaughtered. Uzbekistani officials made the decision to launch a nuclear warhead into the city of Tashkent in a last ditched effort to stop the assault. The bombs detonated on March 12, 2034. Almost all soldiers and civilians in the city had died, but a few remained. These survivors forgot their national ties and banned together to survive in the hellish, apocalyptic, wasteland that was now their “home”. They survived, bred, and flourished, eventually taking more and more land from the surrounding regions until they developed into the solid nation that they are today. These men and women did not come out unscathed though. So many generations of being exposed to radiation has changed their brains, made them see things, and hallucinate. This has actually turned into one of the most prominent religions of Mijahkistan. Over half of the population is following what they call “the Glow” as their faith.
