The Republic of Lambon sometimes known as "R.O. Lambon" or "R.O.L." is a Nation made up of a collection of Islands situated in the Atlantic Ocean. There are 10 different islands that form the Nation, 5 of which are too small for inhabitants. The Nation has only existed for 11 years after being re-named from The People's Republic of Mastaise.

History

Pre-20th Century

Due to lack of Historical documents and archaelogical evidence the early history of The Republic of Lambon is still considered a mystery by many experts. A historical report was published in 1999 by the government itself, is still considered the most accurate to date. The following information has been picked out from this report:

"The Native people, used to refer to this collection of Islands as "Castosas", which we believe to be Portuguese. There was many conflicts during the years 1745-1825 and we believe that the control of these Island's were originally by the Native tribes. New evidence confirms that in 1745 it was taken over by a tribe from Western Nigeria. This was to end just 2 years later when in 1747 an Army from a country near South America (believed to be - now the Nation of Argentina) defated the Nigerian militia and claimed the islands. They held this for 45 years but for an unknown reason abandoned the region in 1792. By this time the population was about 500,000 people.

It is believed that a lost Russian explorer, Vladamir Koleshilikov, and his crew landed on this island in 1803, and taught the Natives his culture. However Koleshilikov died in 1817 for unknown reasons. The country - mixed by cultures broke out into civil war which lasted 8 years, until a temporary regional government was put in place in 1825 by a "neutral" British minister, Sir Thomas Smith, who had heard about the conflict. This government, soon turned into a dictatorship in 1868; led by an old, powerful man with an Italian accent (according to reports). His name was Filipe Navorro and his origins are unknown, however he managed to control the region with a personal army of 3,000 strong. The population had rapidly rose, and by 1885 there was 35 million people living on the Islands. The Portuguese saw this area as a huge colonial opportunity and claimed the land in 1889 when the popular leader Filipe Navorro (aged 86) was assassinated.

20th Century Onwards

The Islands, still relatively unknown, were opened up to the world in the 20th century and the Portuguese held this land as a Colony until 1947, when the area was split into 3 separate states; Manturo, Kalstazaar, and Blaise. These nationalist-run states survived until 1995 when they were united into one Nation.

“The People’s Republic of Mastaise” was officially set up 12 years ago after the 3 Nationalist-led smaller regions, Manturo, Kalstazaar, and Blaise, were united. As a new democratic government was set up, the nation immediately broke out into civil war due to rich landowners and Nationalists wanting to keep possession of their land from the coming-to-power Communist parties. Suddenly a new party, “Lambon” rose up and gained a massive 76% of the vote within 6 months. After coming to power the country was swiftly renamed “The Republic of Lambon”.

The new party changed the style of government and within a year the country became a single party state. The economy rapidly improved under the current “Lambon era”, and population boomed.

Geography

The largest and Main island is called Isla Lambon with Isla Sornica to the East and Isla Navorro to the west. These islands make up the majority of the population with a few people living on Livorno Island and Isla Esterrandos.

Language

Due to many historical conflicts the language of the Republic is a variant of English, with elements of many different languages, such as: Portuguese, Russian, Italian and Spanish.
