The Formation of Druida

Before Druida, there was Flexsys Cefn Druids. Flexsys Cefn Druids originated when a group of people in eastern NEWI Cefn Druids claimed to be historically the original birthplace of the Druidish race, and that only they were purely Druidish, with precious little mixture with any other races. After years of campaigning, the people who claimed to be Flexsys Cefn Druidish were eventually given their own nation after putting the NEWI Cefn Druids government under severe pressure soon after the election of President Geraint Griffiths. However, despite the sense on nationalism amongst the people of Flexsys Cefn Druids, no historical evidence was ever found to support their claims.

Druida itsself was originally a movement started by redundant NEWI Cefn Druidish miner Trevor Smith. Smith had become disenchanted with the way in which he and his fellow miners had been treated by the Druidish government, especially by the policies they had implemented that allowed businesses to exploit their workers for all they were worth.

As more and more people heard about this tirade against the Druidish government, more and more people stopped being Druidish and became Druidans instead. This change was most apparent in Flexsys Cefn Druids, where the government didn't really have a clue what they were doing. Eventually, Druida's strength in Flexsys Cefn Druids became so strong that they overthrew the government there and seized temporary power for themselves.

However, this illegitimate form of government was soon legitimised. Fair and free elections, observed by NEWI Cefn Druids, the nation that hates Druida the most, were held, and Druida leader Trevor Smith won resoundingly, with well over 50% of the vote. Soon afterwards, the name of the nation was changed to Druida.

Eventually, after some controvertial events involving the other candidates, Smith won a Presidential Election in NEWI Cefn Druids. The Druida manifesto outlined that he would unite the two as one nation of Druida, and that is what happened.

Geography

Druida now takes up the whole of the Druidish Lands. From being a relatively small nation, it is now relatively large. The west coast of Druida is just over the sea from Vilita, while the east coast is upon the shores of Lake Bekk. The lake links Druida with Starblaydia, Legalese and The Lowland Clans, which also lies upon Druida's south east border. The other nation to border Druida to the south is Rendition. To the North, Druida has further borders, with the Marligantian Province (Druidans still aren't sure what exactly that is) and, after a recent expantion of their own, Pedriana.

Politics

Current President Margaret Smith is in fact the inaugural President Trevor Smith after a change of name during the Druidan Margaretization Programme. Smith has remained President since Druida's recent beginnings, and is currently so popular (mainly due to the way in which Margaretization 'failed') that he would walk another election at the present time.

Sport

Though only a relative newcomer to the sporting arena, the Druidans are already trying to out-do their more experienced neighbours at a number of sports. OK, so far that number is one (football), though they have applied to take part at other sports soon. One step at a time, eh?

Druida started out in the pre-World Cup 18 Baptism of Fire tournament, where they were knocked out at the group stage. So it was a surprise when the team actually made it to the finals ahead of more recognised sporting names like Cockbill Street. Of course, the Druidan team, otherwise known as the Druida Rainbows, were knocked out in the group stages of World Cup 18, scoring only a single point. But for them it was success. They have since made it to World Cup 19, and shared hosting duties with Starblaydia for World Cup 20. World Cup 21 qualifying is currently going well.
