How did you nation rise?

[Noders]

THE People of noders after such a violent history have made it that their military is one of the strongest in the world by the fact that they have forced conscription and rigid training.

<<OOC: I call BS on this. many other nations have militarys that may have like 5 times your entire population, with better training.>>

[Silista]

Our country (as Western Sahara, "the world's last colony") fought the foreign invaders (Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania) after the Spanish left, for more than thirty years (until 2009). Then, we invited the Emperor of the Chinese Federal Empire, Inc. to annex us as a personal possession (Crown Colony), since we were impressed by his solution to the Jammu-Kashmir situation (make it a Mandate under Tibetan governance) and felt that our sovereignty, autonomy and other synonyms for rights, freedom, and self-rule would not be infringed upon under his suzerainty.
So, he sent in 1000 Imperial Marines (incidentally the last time Imperial Marines have ever been used in Silista, since according to the Imperial Federal Constitution, the Imperial Marines may only be used to fight the Empire's wars, not the Emperor's. He also sent in a group of engineers to upgrade our infrastructure and to build two waterpark resorts, the first for the citizens and the second for the tourists.
The Emperor spent well over four billion imperial credits on us, and decided we should reimburse him. However, taxation is illegal in the Empire, and he had to set a good example. So, he decided we should harvest the enormous quantities of sand available in the Sahara desert and convert it to silicon, which would be further converted to microchips for consumer electronics. And so our nation was renamed Sili(con)sta(te).

[Pevisopolis]

The first steps toward the Sovereign Communal Union of Pevisopolis began with a medium-sized Commune in west Texas acting as a haven for Leftists across nearby southwestern regions. Soon, as Immigrants, Anarchists, Socialists, and 'College Liberals' from nearby states arrived, the population swelled, forcing more living space to be built, for the Communes to become self-sufficient, and develop their own means of production. Meanwhile, the general consensus of the population had shifted from Isolationist Reformism to support of Revolution, and an armed uprising against the Texan and American establishment began. After the revolution's success, Pevisopolis was forced into Isolation again, being surrounded by hostile rednecks intent on the Sovereign Communal Union's collapse.

[Javoul]

Javoul started after a peasant revolt led by a bishop started. They all kept chanting 'Yes' in another language without knowing it and it became the new name of the nation they created, after destroying Mario and Luigi from the corrupt Mushroom Kingdom government. They decapitated Peach, lit Yoshi on fire and disemboweled the mushroom dealers.

[Arivada]

Our nation before it was formed were a bunch of cities similar to ancient greece speaking a french like language. A few cities got tired of raiders and other cities and formed a small nation after countless wars the nation grew to present day Arivada.

[The Anean Star Empire]

In the year 2400 (Haroma Year, not Earth Year), a breakaway group of people from the Haromian Empire founded a city far to the east side of the continent. That city became Gracaria. After many years of growing and building an army, 30,000 soldiers attacked the capital of the Haromian Empire, Nordavic. Somehow, they won and the Empire collapsed. With the fall of the Empire, the Kingdom of Anea was left standing.

Then a lot of stuff happened from that time and in 7000, the Anean Empire became a space power.

[Vetalia]

Tribes settled in to independent villages, which became towns, which became cities over thousands of years. Eventually, they evolved in to city states, and the city states gradually merged in to a unified kingdom. From there, it evolved in to the Empire, which was overthrown to form the Republic (and self-proclaimed successor Empires in recent years). Of course, it is also true that Vetalia City is effectively new, first constructed at the turn of the 20th century to serve as a new, independent capitol free from the ancient city-states and their political overtones.

[Abanhfleft]

The Democratic Socialist Republic of Abanhfleft was born through a union of seven small islands. And then it was just a matter of uniting with some more islands and taking over others. We probably have about 232 or 234 islands now, and they all accept Fleftic rule, in varying degrees of support. Lots of opposition, but no real threats to the nation.

[Sith Korriban]

On Korriban, a people gradually developed, into a fierce and rigidly stratified Empire. Heretics of great power, outcasts from another land, came to Korriban and mingled with its people, first as rulers, then their blood mixing with that of the Korribani native folk. The Empire grew stronger and changed over time; the old castes remain, but power is the vital key, and with power one may rise in rank.

[Nukeobis]

It rose, got nuked and still rules.

[Voerdeland]

My imagine, Poland (my home coutry), Belarus, South Africa and others.

[L3 Communications]

THE People of noders after such a violent history have made it that their military is one of the strongest in the region by the fact that they have forced conscription and rigid training.

[Alexlantis]

Alexlantis was originally a small country created and ruled by tyrants wanting to get rich. Emperor Alkovan started a revolution (1999-2001) and Alexlantis entered it's Golden Age, a great period of production, culture, and happiness, which has not yet ended.

[Verdeguay]

Verdeguay began as a Spanish colony sometime in the early seventeenth century (the exact date is unknown, because all records from this period were destroyed), and achieved its independence on August 11, 1817.

[Auoul]

During the Protestant Reformation (and in the midst of a war), a multitude of excommunicated, German Calvinists raided a port, captured several ships, and attempted to sail to Scotland. However, they drifted off course and only survived miraculously. They landed in an area the shape of Mexico but soon realized that the soil was too poor to farm. And so, they migrated to the other side. Throughout the years, Auoul would grow, shatter, and unite. Though the country was changing politically, the peoples' traditions and beliefs remained. Then, the short-lived Theocratic Empire of Auoul began under the Highest Prophet Daniel I, lasting only six years before the restructuring of the government into the Auoul of today.

[Cabickstan]

A large group of settlers in 1855 we soon develped an army and took over neighboring countires and rose up to power.

[Northern Danoc]

Northern Danoc was once 11 different kingdoms. Chancellor Plumbtree founded a revolutionary group to merge the kingdoms and form a parliamentary democracy.

[Hudinji]

We're North American nomads, we basically just walked out of Toronto with tents on our backs. We didn't even tell them we were leaving.

[Samurkhan]

People have been living in the region of Samurkhan long before history was written down. The small self-sufficient city-states of our prosperous region were conquered in the 8th century by the Sultanate of Cyrusia. In the year 1325, Gulu Ya'Ury, a local warlord from Samurkhan (the city) drove the Cyrusians out of what is now Samurkhan (the nation). In 1526 the region was conquered by the Abyssesanads, militant religious fanatics from a far off region. They were driven away in 1526 by Prince Akbar Ya'Meanie. Samurkhan has been ruled by local princes ever since.

[Egalitarian Akros]

Akros was once a society ruled by a plutocratic elite, but the Equalist sect deposed that regime and instituted an egalitarian monarchy that has existed ever since. However, that 450 year old system has been modified drastically by the newest Emperor, Aldenar, a Marine officer who waged a civil war against the central government, overthrew it by winning that war, and decreed a secular state. It was already undermined by a failed war of aggression against the Dekerin Domains and a public grown increasingly tired of the repressive, hyper-moralistic penal code.

[Sanctus Pacis]

Sanctus Pacis was made in the War of Angels in which a large group of Spanish, Irish, Cauacasian, and African soldiers succesfully defended a supreme church against Nazis in an unnamed country in which is now Sanctus Pacis.

[Maraque]

The nation rose nearly 11,100 years ago by Xanthai Furoq Ajari, known best for his influential philosophies on life and liberty, and his perceived intelligence in creating fire and the beginning of the agricultural age. He was regarded as a living god among the Mairakaian civilization, and was the de facto leader from what many historians believe to be 9160 BCE to 9085 BCE. It was this belief in his supreme godliness that outlined the eventual monarchy that would develop much later in history.

The first walled city was built sometime between 9157 and 9151, and it is around this time that the nation began to flourish and move inland, where they met the Atrulians; the civilization that they would eventually befriend and become unified with in 1260 BCE. Around 200 BCE the Atrulians and Cuerakians (a neighboring civilization of the Atrulians) would enter into battle, and the Mairakaians would fight alongside their longtime allies the Atrulians. Upon losing the war, all the Cuerakian men and boys were enslaved and the women and girls were used as sex slaves. Sex slavery was outlawed about 800 years later, and slavery was abolished about 1,200 years later.

In 550 BCE the three civilizations officially become one upon signing of the Democratic Decree, which outlined the nations creation as a unified, secular humanist social parliamentary monarchy. This sparked a massive increase in growth both economically and socially, with the nation growing faster than the economy could sustain them, resulting in economic turmoil for much of the next 1,470 years until around 1920 when the nation's economy started to stabilize. Around 2004 the nation had become one of Atlantian Oceania's most prosperous and innovative nations. During the next 95 years the nation would go through incredible economic growth and fast become one of the regions premier and most economically powerful countries.

The Ajari family still rules to this day, 11,099 years later.

[Padullahstan]

Padullahstan originally consisted of numerous tribes and sheikdoms. Then around 1350 the great Firiuo Ghezulat with his 1,000 Ruby Horsemen rode throughout the three realms of Padullahstan, Mountain, Desert, and Steppe. He established a great Pagushat (English: Principality) and built a splendid capital called Öçtabëshkareügüol and soon after was murdered by his second-in-command, who then divided his empire up among fellow warlords. This man moved his capital to the mountains and his descendants ruled until 1912, were overthrown in a violent and bloody revolution when the Republic was established.

[United Europe1233]

WE CUM FRUM ANUTHER PLANT! WE CUM IN PEAS!

But seriously,

We came over here, settled the country called "Italia"... Which then grew into the thousands, then it spread and gained more and more lands, and a Revolution started where "France" and "Greeka" were formed. The rest is pretty self-explanatory... each nation expanded and revolted, etc
