The People's Socialist Republic of Pastocia

The People's Socialist Republic of Pastocia is one of the fastest-growing Communist nations in the PEEL Region, and is an administrator of the COMECON Alliance.

History

The States of Blackadderia

For centuries before it's discovery by explorers, Pastocia was a confederation of small city-states, known as the region of "Blackadderia". The states were in an almost constant state of war against each other, and it were two of those states, Austria-Hungary which joined together and conquered the rest of the smaller nations, forming the powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The Austrian Empire

In the year 1871, the states of Blackadderia were unified under a single ruler, the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, a state in the south-east with the small city of Vienna as it's Capital. The Austrians became known worldwide as having one of the most power armies of footsoldiers in PEEL, and were fanatical supporters of the Church of the Archangel. This fanaticism caused the nation to constantly invade it's neighbors on the grounds of "Conversion" of their fellow PEELians.

The Austrian Empire was ruled by a series of tyrannical Emperors, all of the Mktaisan Dynasty, the ruling class of the Austrians for generations. They were an offshoot of the Imperial Slimmoleon Royal Line, and had close ties with the other royal regimes of the region (as long as they followed the Church of the Archangel).

You Say You Want a Revolution?

By the early 2000's, after more than a century of absolute rule under the Mktaisans, the people of Austria begn spreading the word of a people's revolution to overthrow the Emperor. For years, millions of peasants had lived in total poverty with no educational or healthcare benefits whatsoever. Fed up with the living conditions of the nation, many turned to the underground Communist Party, then a small guerilla army hiding in the northern forests, led by Comandante Nasty Pasty and Sub-Comandante Whoopwhoopwhoop. The Austrian Communists were fighting an uphill war against the the powerful Royal Army for the establishment of a new government, founded on the beliefs of Communism and Socialism and led by the people for the betterment of the entire nation.

For decades, they fought the Austrian Army, but with the huge influx of over 800 Thousand recruits and growing hatred towards Emperor Mktaisan VII, the Communist Army were able to score a string of victories, most notably at the cities of Lecapeni and Mexica-Prime. With support of the Emperor falling, many Royal Army battalions threw down their weapons and surrendered to the Communists, and many even joined the revolutionaries.

In late 2050, the full force of the Revolutionary Communist Army had gathered for a final assault on the Royalist forces at the Emperor's last stronghold, the Austrian Capital of Vienna. For weeks, the communists pushed back the royal armies until it was revealed that the Emperor has been killed when a section of the palace had collapsed from mortar fire. Soon after, the army surrendered, and the Emperor's family had fled the nation.

Post-Revolution

By the early months of 2051, the Communist Party had total control of the Austrian territory. It was decided that with the new regime came a new identity for their beloved land, Pastocia. And within weeks of the official founding of the "People's Republic of Pastocia" a body of representatives were elected in the first nationwide elections, and soon afterward, the Senate named their First Consul, former head of the Revolutionary Communist Army, Nasty Pasty.

First Consul Pasty set about rebuilding Pastocia after the long revolution. He created a national healthcare system, which provided every citizen in the nation with free and excellent healthcare. Next, he established the first nationwide school board. For the first time in their history, children aged 3 to 23 could attend excellent schools, and for free. The rebuilding process was not all well-received though. With the new Socialist government came the outlawing of private industry and the nationalization of all profits earned by workers. Because of this, many foreign and domestic corporations left Pastocia, almost crippling it's economy in the process.

In response, Pastocia turned to diplomacy as an answer. In his first half year in office, First Consul Pasty formed treaties with over a dozen nations, including securing membership in COMECON, the most powerful alliance of communist and socialist nations in the world. Also, Pastocia aquired it's first warm water port when MDKCorp gave the island of Nerdor to Pastocia in exchange of uranium mining rights in the mainland.
