Traestanians have cherished democracy since 1963, after the fall of the authoritarian, corrupt government that was established after the unification of Traestan. For four long years, we were ruled by a ruler with an iron grip on the nation. There were large famines, the economy abruptly fell and died, and the military was overfunded. No more, the people chanted, as they tore down the authoritarian establishment. Today, our nation is one of the most democratic nations on Kerbin. Freedom and Liberty has prospered. However, today, various nations on the rise threaten that beacon of Freedom and Liberty. Our fellow democratic nations are being threatened by rising, power hungry nations. We will not let this pass, and will unite. The Torch of Freedom and Liberty will not be extinguised. Today, we will be co-founding an alliance of Democratic nations. The Council of Democratic Nations. Member nations of the CDN will work together to defend Liberty and Freedom, and we will defend the very foundation of democracy.
