Geography

Beningrad is located in the south of the province of Southern Northland which is in the south of Sorthern Northland. The city was built between two rivers, Southern River, and River Oblast. The city has since undergone a massive expansion but the centre, and busiest part of the city still lies between the two rivers where the cities nightlife, retail and government all thrive. The city has a beutiful and varied coastline to the south which is popular with people of all ages. To the north,east, and west lie the The Southern Mountains which are popular resort for walkers and skiers alike due to the world-renowned scenary and excellent skiing conditions. Both the sea and mountains give the city excellent natural defences.

History

The city was origenly built as a trading port for the country of Northland, and was called Oblast around 1871 and very quickly became the hub of Northland's sea trade and capital of the province of Southern Northland. By the end of the 20th century the city had become Northland's second city and a major international port.

However around the start of the 22nd century a large number of people had becomed dis-illusenod at life as part of Northland due to the beer and other produce of Southern Northland being taken north and being given to the rich elite in the north with little going to the workers of Southern Northland . This disilluionment spread throughout the province and The Workers' Party of Sorthern Northland was formed to campaign for independence for the Southern Northland province. Numbers grew quickly with many members of Northland's poilce and army who were supposed to be keeping the province under the control of Northland defecting to the independance movement.

Then in Ocotber of 2026 in what become known as the Ocotber Revolution, The Workers' Party of Sorthern Northland gained control of the region in the South of Northland known as Southern Northland in a drunken coup. No one was hurt in this coup but the drunkeness of the rebel forces were enough to scare away the leading government officiels and military of Northland and so a new nation to be known as The United Socialist States of Sorthern Northland (The name was later changed to The Peoples Republic of Sorthern Northland) was formed.(Due to the drunken nature of the coup the nation was accidently named Sorthern Northland rather than the intended Southern Northland)

The leader of the coup Comrade Ben O'Bagels declared himself leader of this new nation and with the government based in Oblast,also declared himself to be the mayor of Oblast. One of his first acts as mayor was to declare Oblast to be a name representing the imprerialist regime of Northland and rename the city Beningrad in honour of himself.
