2. Brief History

Anachnu was founded in 1950 by Jewish immigrants from all over the world. Today it is the homeland of many Jews. After the founding of the state Anachnu several Arab nations declared war on Anachnu. Jerusalem was occupied by Jordan, The centre of Tel Aviv was totally destroyed. The Anachnun government fled to Haifa which was the capital over a decade. In 1962 Anachnu was able to fight back and attacked the enemy. General Moshe Ben Moay the commander of the newly founded Anachnu Defense Forces (ADF) was able to capture Jerusalem within 48 hours. Thousands of Arabs fled from the city together with the Jordan Army. From Jerusalem the ADF started a new offensive against Jordan and Syria. Until now West-Jordan is occupied by the ADF. Tel Aviv was taken over only two months later. It became the new capital. It only took five years to rebuilt the old city center of Tel Aviv. A peace treaty was signed by all parties involved in 1978.

In 1979 Anachnun Arabs were rioting in all major cities. The brutal Special Police Forces killed hundreds of rioters. Several Arabs were wounded seriously. The Anachnun Prime Minister Yitsak Segen warned the Arabs in a historic speech at the Kikar MelHem Yehudim (Jewish Kings Square) in Tel Aviv. "If the Arab minority will not stop rioting I will send the army to deport all of them! Anachnu wants peace but enough is enough! We (the Jews) are the new leaders of this country. Accept it or go to hell!" That was the final straw for the Arab minority. The Arab leader Yussuf al Akbar declared the holy war. The time of terror began. Hundreds of Jews were killed due to suicide bombers in Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem. The government was helpless against this sort of war. In the 1985 elections a new party won, the Anachnu United Party. A party founded by Arabs and Jews. There aim was to bring back peace and freedom. The new government implemented a new constitution, were Jews and Arabs are equal. Anachnu became a secular state with the freedom of religion. The state of the Jews became a Democracy for all its citizens, no matter if they are Muslim, Jews or Christians. Only the flag remained the same with the Magen David. And the Article 2, "Anachnu is the homeland of all Jews in the world no matter where they are. Every Jew has the right to come back to his homeland Anachnu, if he ensure that he is likely endanger public security and health of the Democratic Republic of Anachnu. " Article 3, "All citizens of the Democratic Republic of Anachnu are equal by law he or she has the right of entry into Anachnu from abroad at all time."
