Brief History

After the Fourth World War (2001-2016 C.E.), the international leftist group, Alliance for a United Future, emerged victorious alongside the United Nations, and again with the Independant Union in the ensuing Second American Civil War. In peacetime, most laid down arms and joined Socialist of Liberal political parties. Also, per the terms of the 2015 Treaty of Baltimore, Alakhriveion was granted an autonomous nation in Western Europe, which he declared the United Socialist States of Al4khr1v3st4n. Applying his often idealistic ideas about socialism, community, civil rights and democracy, a constitution was written and ratified in 2020 by the First Senate. After a brief period of instability and wide-spread poverty, weath was succesfully redistributed, and a governing body was elected, and held in place. Government-run and independant, but publicly funded media associations soon appeared. Also, thanks mostly to Alakhriveion's devotion to free speech, the Alakhrivestani city of Bern became the pornography capital of the Northern Hemisphere. Great immigration to the nation has resulted in diversity previously unknown outside the Americas. The Phish, a mythical creature known for it's strong smell, and long hair, was adopted as the national animal, an unsingable noise-rock ballad was made the national anthem. In recent years, government corruption has been a problem, as well as the cessestion of a northern Province, now called Ph34ral4k. Since then, Alakhriveion has focused much of his attention on unity, and even expansion. Rumors that he wears a crown in his home and demands his staff refer to him as "Emperor" have not been substantiated. The nation has signed non-agression pacts with other states in the area, and trade agreements are being negotiated with Japan.
