Geography

The geography of Kristonion is vast and ranges from mountains, to beaches, and to forests. There is 2,919 miles of coastline. The coasts are flat with sandy ground and most of the interior is hilly and mountainous. In the far western areas there are many deserts. Also in this region is the mouth of the Mississippi River which flows from northern Slaybackia. The highest point in this region is Guadalupe Peak, in Texas, at 8,750 feet. Most of the land has a humid sub-tropical climate, though in the desert areas the climate becomes semi-arid.

History

Kristonion Socialist Republic (1st Republic)

On the 29th of October in 2003 A.D., the Southern states of the United States succeeded to form Kristonion. The name Kristonion came from the name of the leader of the succession, Christopher Allen. The succeeding states basically were all the ones that made up the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. Just one day after the formation a massive coup occurred and overthrew President Allen before he even had a chance to establish a government. The ones who overthrew the young nation formed the Kristonion Socialist Republic, which was mainly a Communistic dictatorship. This radical left government ruled for almost a year, and for most of that "near year" was spent defending Kristonion from United States forces attempting to annex Kristonion. In December 2004, the United States gave up on it's attempt to annex Kristonion and declared peace, though they did make sure to note that they would never fully recognize Kristonion as fully independent. In early July 2007, dissent was rising and tensions were high between the government and the Kristonion citizens. The tension was even higher than it was during the war against the United States. Then finally, on August 1, 2007, Christopher Allen and his loyal followers, which was most of the nation, overthrew the socialists and Allen re-took control of the nation.

Southern Republic of Kristonion (2nd Republic)

With Allen's coup of the socialist government on August 1, 2007, he re-took control of his nation. During his first week of power he was able to restart everything as he had planned. The minting of the unique currency to Kristonion, the Krista, began. And President Allen finally got Kristonion admitted into the United Nations. Following the Communist takeover in Slaybackia, the new government there destroyed an C.S.K. naval ship in Kristonion waters off the coast of Virginia. This led to President Allen closing all of it's borders and to declare that war will happen if attacks continue on the C.S.K. Allen had long disliked the Communist government, one, he is anti-Communist, but not just that, but they began to try to destroy American monuments. This enraged Allen who supported preserving Kristonion's past, which is the United States, so this was viewed as the destroying of the C.S.K.'s past. After Allen's declaration that war will be made if attacks continue, he got support on that comment from Equally Treated People and Nova Acarionne. On September 13, 2007 the C.S.K. Senate decided that it would continue where the U.S. left off in 2003 by invading Afghanistan to remove the Taliban government once again. The invasion of Afghanistan was supported by the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan, or Northern Alliance, an Afghani group against the Taliban, and they fight alongside the C.S.K. The Executive capital of Kristonion was moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina on Sept. 21, 2007 when the President moved there.

Government & Politics

The Southern Republic of Kristonion is a republic. The structure of the government is largely based off of the United States government. There are three branches of government, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. The S.R.K. has no Constitution or document and instead the nation follows a concept it has made known as the Traditional Conduct which calls that the President follows the structure of that the U.S. used and that the rest of the government work as it did in the U.S. Despite the C.S.K. government being largely based on the U.S., there is no Vice President. The capital is Washington D.C..

Political Parties

There are other parties beside these, but none of them have a significant amount of support. The majority of Kristonion is Republican, though there are large and strong Democratic areas in the Spanish-speaking regions.
