Overview

The Czarist Republic of West Corinthia is a vast, mountainous, and heavily forested nation with with seas on two sides. The current government is actually the second republic to bear the name "Czarist Republic of West Corinthia," the first being overthrown in a religious uprising known as "The Tribunal Revolution." The original government of West Corinthia was known for it's unrelenting cruelty, corruption, and merciless desire for power that led it to expand it's borders to their current locations.

History

First Republic

West Corinthia was founded by an ex-KGB agent named Vasili Kotov and his team of highly trained followers. On March 28th, 1990, Kotov and his followers stormed the capitol building of Praetoria, a small democratic nation drowning in debt. The coup was planned for a day when the entire government of Praetoria would be in session. As the sun rose over the capital, bombs tore apart sections of the Curia, massacring the Congress of the country. Immediately following the explosions, gunmen loyal to Kotov stormed the President's home and killed his entire cabinet, though the president himself was able to escape.

Kotov wasted no time in siezing control of the de-stabilized country by declaring himself Czar. The people of Praetoria were very willing to accept Czar Kotov as their leader, since their country had been in debt for so long. While little resistance was encountered in the western half of the country, much of the east remained loyal to the president. Kotov was unable to gain the support of the east, which seceded shortly afterward. East and West Corinthia then formed, at a de facto state of war with one another.

However, the president of East Corinthia remained unable to manage the economy of his country, whereas Kotov's new economy flourished, providing him with funds to acquire state-of-the-art weaponry. As soon as his new army was strong enough, Kotov invaded the east and obliterated the president's followers. Facing his capture, the president committed suicide, thus uniting the country under the West Corinthian banner.

Nevertheless, the people soon realized they had traded one type of evil for another. Gulags sprung up across the country and political prisoners were rounded up in droves, propoganda lined every wall, and a every man able to fight was drafted into the Corinthian war-machine. One by one neighboring countries fell beneath the Corinthian jackboot, until the Czar's thirst for blood had been quenched. His empire now stretched from one sea to another, across mountains and through forests. It was at this time the Czar turned his attention to diplomacy.

During the reign of Czar Vasili, West Corinthia flourished economically but her political freedoms suffered. This policy was frowned upon by allied nations, so the Czar decided to found a puppet senate with limited powers. He also delivered aid to wartorn nations and allies in particular. In secret, however, the Czar committed several war crimes, including using civilians for target practice in a foreign country.

Czar Vasili never officially entered into any recognized war, but did participate in several skirmishes. These included a successful land invasion of the Makoki Isles and a disastrous naval defeat in a still-classified conflict.
