History
Cidonia was not called Cidonia until recently. But that is not the whole history of Cidonia, not at all. As many countries in the medieval times Karakaland (now Cidonia) was first a country in the year 1457 by the self pronounced king Yehwoh Karak.
Within his 36 year reign he had conquered many lands and improved the culture. In the year 1493 his daughter and the only queen of Karakaland, Queen Felangi, came to power. She gave women in Karakaland rights equal to those of men and there were a few female ministers in her reign. Ten years after her reign her son Yehwoh came to power. Rumors went about at the time that she was assinated by her son or at least he put in the order. Others say she was struck by a bolt of lightning. His son brought terror to the land and reigned with an iron fist. He was nicknamed "Ivan The Unbreakable", for any messenger that came to bring messages, good or bad, were killed. He had 6 marriages from which 34 children came. He died at the age of 74, having ruled the land until 1577. After that many of his sons killed each other for the rule of the country: Boris, Sergeij, Milsavik and Vladimir. After Vladimir had killed Milsavik, he ordered that only the oldest son of the new king shall rule the land; if he has no son it will be his brother's son and so on.
It was 1580 when that rule was enforced. In the year 1602 Vladimir had to fight back wild hordes of Perzians. There was little land left and many people died. The Perzians spread out to the south and north of Karakaland to widen their pest of insolence and evilness. The last barrier of defence lead by Vladimir's son Yuri successfully held 2 years. Then they struck back, reconquered their lost land and more. Even though he had more land than he could imagine, Yuri gave the former kings their land back. However, he demanded a tribute in the form of rent be paid for it. He earned lots of money which helped the country expand and grow economically. That lasted a total of 30 years until the kings demanded their land without rent. The son of Yuri, named Vladimir after Yuri's father, allowed this. Until the year 1848, barely anything had changed. The kings changed from Arlavka to Yuri VI. In the year 1848 a philosopher and the first communist wrote together "The Communist Manifesto", which revolutionized opinions worldwide and the view of the economic situation. But this vision could not be fulfilled. In the year 1849 Karl Marx died but Friedrich Engels, his companion and "producer" if you will, continued printing issues of it and spreading the Communist belief throughout Europe.
In the year 1912, the emperor of Yermaen, King Bissmarq, declared war upon King Rasputin. The war lasted 6 years, ending in 1918. The land of Karakaland was at its end: poverty was at a european high and every day children died of hunger. The army was ruined and in debt, completely unable to repay. Then, Vladimir Cid, the father of the current Cidonian leader, El Cid, lead a revolution in Karakaland. After storming the government building without encountering any complications, he and the newly-formed Red Guard took over the parliament and the politicians working there. The royal family of Karakaland was assisinated on the same day in the same building moments afterwards. The politcians were arrested and put in jail and Vladimir Cid declared the country Communist. Royal loyalists were outnumbered and hadn't a change against the amounts of supporters of the new communist regime of Vladimir Cid.
Just a few days after the revolution, Vladimir Cid ordered the elimination of all goverment oppsition, and it was done. He ruled the country with an iron first and assured that the economy in Karakaland flourished, even though many people had to pay a price for this. Two million "opposionists" were sentenced to work in gewlags in the southern parts of Cidonia where they often worked to death. Vladimir Cid decided to rename Karakaland to a name to distinguish the new form of the nation. He named it Cidonia, as did Yehwoh Karak when he formed the country 500 years ago. Vladimir Cid ruled, until the year 1941 when the Second World War broke out. He at first had signed a pact with the aggressor nation Acme, which was broken by the same country in the year 1942. Cidonia did not hesitate and retialiated with a first unsuccessful attack on Acme. Later on in the war it relied on allies whom Acme also declared war on and crushed Acme and cut it into two pieces: North and South. In the year 1953 North Acme forced an aggression on Cidonia and it's allies. They, as before, did not hesitate and expelled the dictatorship in short time. The land was liberated by Cidonian and South German troops. In the year 1987 Vladimir Cid had passed away at the age of 95. Critics of the country said he was unable to rule it effectively. In the year 1991 South Acme attacked, like its brother, the countries of Cidonia and South Germany. As they had done 38 years ago, the country's government was soon expelled and the country of Sortain took a large amount of South Acme. In the year 2003 El Cid announced, together with South Germany, North Acme's independance after 50 years of occupation, even though the amount of land they recieved was only 2/3 of their country.
