History of Your Nation-From my factbook page on our history:
Early Period
In prehistoric times, Petrokovia was home to several nomadic tribes which occasionally traded with each other and continued to live uninterrupted until about 9 B.C.E. when Sailors from a far off land started colonizing. Around 10 A.D. 5 small kingdoms appeared in the areas around present day Petrokovia, Southern Zealodia, and Aaresa. They were:
1. The Kingdom of Petrolandia, in the far West.
2. The Aaresan Kingdom, in what is now Aaresa and the Southern tip of Zealodia.
3. The Kurokov Empire, In the North.
4. Darumanian Realm, in the East.
5. The Kingdom of Sealodia, in the South.
In 127 A.D. The Kingdom of Sealodia faded out and dissolved, and the land was taken over by the Kingdom of Petrolandia. 5 years later, The Kurokov Empire conquered the Darumanian Realm. In 480 A.D. The Kingdom of Petrolandia and the Kurokov Empire were merged due to the marriage of Princess Anastasia Makarovna (Petrolandia) and Prince Johann Seigfried (Kurokov), and the land was retitled The Kingdom of Petrokovia.
Uprising of the People
Petrokovia continued as an Empirical Monarchy until May 4, 1927, when a rebellion of oppressed Working-class citizens, emergency crew (police, fire fighters, medical workers), and low-ranking military members, led by Thomas Albertrov, joined forces to overthrow the empire run by King Nicholas IV, who's lack of attention to the country's needs led to mass poverty, starvation, and violence for all but the Royal Family. Thomas Albertrov mentions this in part of his speech to fellow rebels:
"The oppressive Monarchs have gone too far! What kind of a life is it where you squabble in filth, extreme poverty, and starvation, while one person's small family has all of the money in the world? Ask anyone here! What kind of a life is it? Ask me. It's not a life at all."
On May 4, 1927, at 5:00 am, the King's Palace in Southern Krasnograd was attacked and burned to the ground. At 7:00 pm, the United Socialist States of Petrokovia was officially founded, and plans to build a Premier's Palace in a large clearing in central Krasnograd were made. The first Premier of Petrokovia was Premier Thomas Albertrov.
Petrokovia's national anthem (at the request of a friend of Albertrov's from the USSR) was changed to Polyushko Polye in 1935.
On October 7th, 1938, Albertrov stepped down from office, and Ross Musqarini was elected Premier.
On September 8th, 1940, the USSP officially entered the second World War to fight alongside the allies, mainly the Soviet Union.
"The looming threat long feared is upon not only the nation, but the world. Nazi Germany has instigated a war the likes of which the Earth has never seen. If the world is to overcome this massive evil, all allied nations must ban together. We as a nation have decided to declare war on Nazi Germany."
~Excerpt from Premier Ross Musqarini's declaration of war against Nazi Germany, September 8, 1940.
Tragedy Strikes the Great Nation
In 1975, Petrokovia was invaded by Strassland, triggering a war that would devastate both countries. By 1980, almost one fifth of Petrokovia's population had died due to war and blockades, and Strassland, having sent all of its work force into the military, lost 80% of its population and was quickly dissolved into other countries.
In 1990, an extremely volatile strain of Typhus spread and killed 18 Million Petrokovians. By 1992, a new vaccine was mass distributed, and by 1995, the Typhus Pandemic was extinguished.
Modern Day
Petrokovia is now a safe, technologically advanced nation with intelligent, caring, and very patriotic citizens. Daniel Petit is Petrokovia's current Premier, and has so far had the best approval rating, even surpassing former Premier Thomas Albertrov's rating.
