Head of State: Emperor Kareem I
Peoples Government President:
Introduction
The Empire of Urzamalandi was founded by The Great Emperor Amarasi on 27th November 1933. The nation is built on strong loyalty to its leaders. The people are very reserved and are unable to leave the country without supervision. All citizens are trained in the military and all residents are actively enlisted in the Urzamalandi Armed Forces.
History
The nation was founded after a 127 year long war between independent African militias who sought the region as a holyland & Holy Empire of Oddthought. The Holy Empire of Oddthought secured the provinces from independent militias within Africa in 1895 and placed King Azu as the head of state.
King Azu was an extremely unpopular ruler due to his religious beliefs. His attempts to turn the country into an economic powerhouse and approving the development of all of the first roads and rail lines within the country did however give him some sway with population.
In 1933 King Azu was assassinated by followers of Amarasi Utugu for him to assume power as Emperor and expel the Oddthought Empire's Government. Emperor Amarasi inherited the country with a brand new infrastructure and progressed to segregating the nation from the rest of the world. Enforced borders and permanent detention of all forgien nationals in search of an idealistic state of equality through monarchy.
In 1978 Emperor Amarasi died (a cause has never been made public) and after two years of civil unrest his eldest son Kareem Utugu assumed control of the nation.
Since 1980 Emperor Kareem has continued his fathers legacy and initially sought to further closed the gap between the rich and poor however this has fallen by the wayside for economic reasons. Kareem has come under criticism globally and has been accused of simply killing any of the political opposer's and assuming control over the wealth of disrespectful business elites. Emperor Kareem unlike his father has sought to increase diplomatic and economic relations with other nations.
