Factbook of the Unified City-States of Tsvarchi + Q&A

[Sungai Pusat]

This might be old news, but why do Maraque and Sungai Pusat have such frosty relations?

It might have something to do with their belief that there's a case for our 'liberation.'

When I said 'The Scandanavians and Maraque', I meant about the idea of liberating you guys. I was trying to tell Auman/Rob that the idea of libertarian nations liberating other libertarian nations is ridiculous, not that there is any cause for your nation to be 'liberated' at all. Now I understand why the relations are frosty.....

(Note: I truly thought it was the nation's economic policies like you told me earlier.)

[Maraque]

What does Tsvarchi mean in any of your languages?

Tsvarchi is a word of Maraquean origin, so unless another language by chance has the same word, it only means something in Maraquean. That meaning is "one community," when translated into English.

[Syvorji]

That is because here, until the mid-20th century, Tsvarchi in Syvorji meant, "land of the rising dragon."

Next question, how many ghost stations are there in Tsvarchi?

Can you tell me your nations history starting from 1840?

In 1840 HRH Queen Nieshae had been in office for six years since HRH King Dierj was removed via citizen's initiative, when she worked diligently to restore faith in the monarchy after sixteen years of her father's lunacy. Her reign, like the reign of just about every monarch there is until about 1969, was marked as "exceedingly boring."

In 1952 the "expansion era" took hold, when Tsvarchi's population was growing at an exceptionally large pace, prompting the creation of the modern day city-state, when vast urbanization of the landscape started to take hold. The expansion era was marked with great prosperity, as construction was in high demand through the decade, up until around 1965, when HRH King Tuwan fell ill; four years later he died, and his son Furoq, campaigned for and won the position at the tender age of 13, which at the time was the youngest one ever held the monarchy. His reign would be heralded as the best 41 years in Tsvarchivan history, as the expansion era was followed in close succession to the technology and science boom of the 1970s all the way up until the early 2000s, when things started to slow down a bit.

In late 2010, HRH King Furoq abdicated, but also declared the monarchy an "antiquated system of governance," which was prompted by his appointment of the Speaker of the Citizen's Council as President Pro Tempore. This led to a plethora of lawsuits, until ultimately he was found guilty of gross constitutional violations, and was sentenced to pay a fine in the billions, and 10,000 hours of community service by the People's Court of Justice, in Krsta. Before the debacle was settled, the President resigned amid concerns for her safety, and her Vice President took over until the ruling was made, in which it was invalidated immediately.

Following the court ruling, HRH King Furoq's son campaigned and eventually won the election for the seat, and has been in office since August of 2010.

[Syvorji]

Why did King Furoq attempt to make a republic?

[Maraque]

declared the monarchy an "antiquated system of governance,"

[Syvorji]

Why did the people oppose the republic?

[Maraque]

A big case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." 91% of the population supports the monarchy.

[Syvorji]

What did your people do during the republic?

[Maraque]

It was never a republic.

[Syvorji]

I mean after Furoq resigned before Whirnak took the throne.
