History
Imperia was discovered in 1665 by British national Sir Egbert Oak. Bankous was later discovered across by an Imperian, Michael Koor. In 1760, the nation of Bankous under went civil war between Bankonians and the Gypsies, many were massacred. Imperia was initially a monarchy ruled by King Victor Sallway II until he was overthrown by fascist dictator Fred Stone in 1901. Bankous' King Geoff Hammerson was left infertile after the Great War of 1969 between Bankous and Choo Choo Island, and therefore had no son to become successor. Imperia, still a separate country, was liberated from Fascist governance in 1990, in which it then merged with ex-monarchy Bankous to become one economically powerful nation. In 1990 when the Despot fell in Imperia, he was hung from the tallest skyscraper, Cloud-9, in Imperial City (1/1/1991).
