Meekinosian History

The tiny Greek nation of The Hellenic Capitalist Paradise of Meekinos has a quiet history. There is nothign entirely worth noting about the history of it. The nation was founded by ex-pat Greeks who were sent into exile after committin treason against their government. Once they found the land, they sent for their families and friends, asking them to come and form a new country. They were then shortly joined by businessmen who found themselves too heavily taxed and oppressed in other Greek nations.

Soon, Meekinos became a heaven for capitalists and anyone seeking a fortunate.

The laws of Meekinos, historically, were developed on the grounds that this nation was to be a purely capitalistic nation, that gave preference to small, medium and big business, with little emphasis on religion and social welfare.

The constitution of Meekinos was developed by the ex-pats and a group of wealthy businessmen who sought personal freedoms from the government so that they could run their businesses as they wanted, paying very little tax, if any. Additionally because they wished to preserve the capitalistic nature of their nation and economy, they added a clause and several sub-clauses to the constitution so that the only types of goverments that could exist in Meekinos were pro-business governments. This meant that communist, fascist, socialist and any kind of government that focused on social welfare and anything anti-business wasn't welcome in the federal legislature of Meekinos.

However, personal freedoms are highly valued and they were deeply entrenched into the depths of the Meekinosian constitution.
