The Democratic Republic of Coocoostan is a rapidly developing nation in The East Pacific. The country has begun a period of unprecedented growth in the last five years, emerging from the third world and with a more open model of government, into the first.
The nation has many different subdivisions and currently consists of 1 Republic,5 Oblasts, 4 Provinces, 1 State, 1 Federal City and 1 Territory. Coocoostan is a free and open democracy, with elections mandated annually by law.
Coocoostan’s Capital, largest city and cultural epicenter is Coocoobad, a city of 26.4 million people. The city is such an attractive destination for movement within the country that you require permission from the Interior Secretariat to move there unless you meet certain requirements(see Coocoobad for more information).
History
Coocoostan came into existence on the 8th of December, 1991, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, when a provisional government was established under the control of Maxim Kaygorodov.
Kaygorodov began an aggressive campaign to remove outward signs of communist influence. He began to remove communists from government agencies and began to remove entire branches of the old bureaucracy. Coocoostan’s first test came in 1994, when opposition parties began to demand elections. He acquiesced and in October of that year, won a vast majority in the People’s Assembly. He would continue to forge a democratic state and in his third term (1998-2002), a massive influx of immigrants from around the Pacific Rim began to move in. It was this group of people that began to slowly change the face of Coocoostan. In 2001, the Trans-Coocoostan Highway was completed, replacing the old A1 with a four-lane expressway from Coocoobad to the Packilvanian border. Kaygorodov sold off many government-owned companies and allowed private industry in such fields as Air Travel and Oil.
Coocoostan entered the United Nations in 2005 .As well, Kaygorodov abolished the People’s Assembly in the same year and replaced it with a Parliamentary Congress, all 32 members of which were directly elected. He lost the election to Tammy Hagans of the Labour Party in December of that year. The first year of the Hagans presidency saw the establishment of over a dozen foreign embassies and consulates, a reorganisation of the military and territorial purchases of Aubrey(giving the nation a harbour) as well as San Andreas and a military occupation of Darrowmere (defeating the forces of the Trinkomali Clan). Furthermore, a Democratic Reform Act saw the implementation of proportional representation, as well as the expanding of the Parliamentary Congress to 215 members.
