Event in history that makes your nation as it is now?

[Astholm]

The 1995 - 1999 Dockers' strike - a major historical event. . The strike failed in its declared objectives, but was very successful in providing a modern example of strong Social Movement Unionism

[Revolvisia]

[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.

[Jibberi]

A long time ago some unrecorded event happened that founded the Jibberish culture. Of course we all want to know what event this was, but all we know about it is that it seperated us from the rest of the world and gave us a deep fear of other nations. However, this event did not found Jibberi itself... We were essentially hermits, outlaws, surviving by stealing, trying to find a place to be alone in the world. The continued theivery lead to us stealing a ship and essentially becoming a large self-sustaining fleet of pirates. When we found a previously undiscovered island to the south (which our mapmakers later found out beared an uncanny resemblance to a cockrel) we decided to stay where no-one else could reach us and founded the capital of Blargenu (or "prosperous city") on the place we called Derlanak. (or Morning Island)

Our nation grew, and we continued to hide ourselves and ignore everyone else. But eventually the other nations found us and pressured us into responding. We responded with war. Of course, hiding ourselves from the rest of the world for several decades meant that we had no-where near the same level of technology, economy or understanding of war they had. We lost, and they left us with our island. The war showed us that the other nations were co-operating just fine, and that they had achieved much more than we had. We abandoned our old ways and began proper communication.

The discovery of the other nations was the point that we changed from a group of pirates, bandits and violent outlaws to a nation of people and culture. We formed an alliance with many capitalist countries and, over time, became a democracy ourselves (previously being a dictatorship). We also discovered the english language and began to loose our old culture, hence why we primarily use English now rather than our old Jibberish.

I would list dates, but dates have always been vague when it comes to Jibberish history. Especially before the founding of Blargenu, and even the founding itself has several possible dates! I doubt that historians will be able to figure out the dates of events that have happened in my lifetime!

One possible theory on the unrecorded event was some kind of civil war in our origin nation between the loyalist grengoists (the national religion) and someone else, leading to us being sent on a religious journey for solitude.

[Eldar Ulthwe]

The Fall of the Eldar.
In which our people grew debauched and cruel, until the sheer depravity created a dark god to hunger for our souls. We of Ulthwe narrowly escaped being devoured. Now, as a small example of our scattered race, we face daemons and monsters spawned from the horror our own predecessors created.
Never again will we sink that low.

[Picklepoo]

The great war against the pickles It was a bloody war.

[Swilatia]

Our revolution and overthrow of the opressive monarchy.

[Maraque]

Previously to becoming an elective monarchy the Kingdom was an absolute dual-monarchy. The two monarchs (most times spouses but not always) retained all the power, but the Cuerakian minority who just became free citizens (and thus creating a new political force in the country) started a rebellion and started (and subsequently lost) two civil wars and continued civil disobedience for several years. Finally to appease those pesky Cuerakians The dual-monarchs set up what was originally a bicameral congress (now a four chamber legislature) and a supreme court (now a constitutional and supreme court), and limited their own power.

Unfortunately they still weren't satisfied and decided to riot and kill more people until all laws had to pass national referendum. The Royal Congress passed the law, and the dual-monarchs promptly signed it. This established that all laws thereafter would have to go before the public before official recognition. This appeased them greatly, and it has been peaceful ever since.

[Frenca]

From 1567, the Roaurman Dynasty declined. By 1662, people could not hold any more anger, as Emperor Honrio was weak, and he made MANY bad decisions, a rebellion led by John Thoures, a person who wanted a republic, started. At first, the Roaurmane Dynasty seemed to be doing well, however, as the "Republiques" started to draw many support, the Roaurmane were quickly finished off, and on August 8, 1665, the war ended. This is why any baby born on August 8 in Frenca is given 100,000 portonas at birth.

[New Sparrco]

2093: WWIII ends
2094: Sparrco is founded
2109: Sparrcan Civil War begins
2110: Sparrcan Civil War ends, splitting Sparrco in half.

[Munichburg]

In 1952, a popular revolution led by the Munich Nazi Party overthrew the oppressive Reich that dictated the country.

[Herminia]

Herminia went through a series of wars lasting from 1979 to 1994 (which involved a series of nations, including Greater Americania, Grand Nepal, and others) that devastated the Grand Duchy's economy. The National Socialist Herminian Workers' Party took advantage of this to gain more power for themselves and their leader, Gustav Richtoff. Finally, in 1999, Richtoff was elected as Chancellor of Herminia, and he quickly became a dictator, which he continues to be to this day.

[Banchao]

[Unilisia]

Has there been any 'life changing' events in history that makes your nation what it is? If so - do tell an eager ear.
Here is mine - around 1450 - the Imperialist Reich and the Teutonic Order united and easily defeated the pagans in the Baltic. This event has made us become the rulers of the Baltic and parts of Russia for many centuries. However - this event has also caused great anger from the Eastern Europeans towards us people. Thus - starting many civil wars in the later years. And soon after - linking to the Eastern Communist war of 1892 - 1801.

Russian Settlers in Alaska revolted on the early 1800's, taking control. They took over Canada over the next century, tracing their map as far south as Baja, as far west as Siberia (later wars with Russia gave them COMPLETE control of the Russian Far East), and as far east as Washington, DC after a war with the United States. The rest was eventuall diced up and left to burn by the English, French, and Spanish.

[Hemenster]

1556 - After 19 years of civil war and uprising of the Earls, the Duchess of Hemenster, with aid from Queen Elizabeth I, reconquers Hemenster and dismisses all five Earls. The Duchess appoints new Earls, but they are forced to sign the Statute of Winchester, which, among other things, significantly diminshed their power, and would keep something of that measure from ever happening again.

The discovery of Hemenster by the English was quite significant as well, I suppose...

[The Saladin]

The real changing event was the purge when every non evrakonin (evrakon is waht the former name of The Saladin) was either brutally murdered ( by anarchists) which enraged the the former leader. then as you might have guest it a civil war which lasted 20 years then the fall of the evrokonian and the rise of me The Saladin the change in government from a non caring evarkonin to a Saladinian who is always on top of things made our great nation what it is to day.

[Khytenna]

The wars of liberation helped create the country.

[Nikra]

The event that made Nikra a safe nation at last was the new Security-and-Control-Law that made barcode-tattoos on the necks of every citizen of Nikra mandatory. It was this law that made crime almost impossible in Nikra...

[Northern Rangeria]

Modern Tech:
1495-99 Bloodline War: Decimation of a branch of the royal family who had used the monarchs as puppet rulers, assassinating them when the bloodline was secured, and 'benevolently' placing themselves the regents until the child king would be of age. Two kings, Andreas I and Andreas II, known as the 'Child King', died of this way. The son of Andreas II, Mikhail I, managed to escape assassination and founded the Order of Blood Tears as the royal family's personal guard and weapon.
1808-1983 the Occupation: The Principality of Northern Rangeria annexed into its more expansionist neighbour, Southern (or Greater) Rangeria. Royal house in exile. Intermittent guerrilla warfare and passive resistance to occupying forces.

Future Tech:
The discovery and settlement of the Infinitus Tractus Cluster, the main population hub of the Principality.
