History
Origin
Lush Green Fields was once exactly what its name implies. The empty stretches of greenery were inhabited by a group of indigenous tribes. It was invaded in the late 1600's by colonial settlers. The tribes were forced to submit to the new rule, but the settlers were mostly benevolent and allowed the tribes people to live their lives which were now much improved. By the 1800's the population was a generous interspersing of the two races. It was now named Grenarda
Seat of Power
The First Election
In the mid 1800's, the people started to demand more rights among which was the right to vote for a government. Fearing a revolt, the rulers set up elections. These were more or less a sham as the ballots were clearly rigged. The results saw the rulers win. The people had had enough. They revolted with spirit and overthrew the then King Hewer III on 16 November 1858 a date still celebrated as independence day. A government was set up following an election which saw an almost 100% turnout.
The Coup
In 1984, the Army Chief, Meniar Hernan assassinated the Prime Minister Norin Effer and seized power. He assumed the title 'The Founder' and started a dictatorship.
Change in Name
Grenarda was officially renamed The Armed Republic of Lush Green Fields on 21 May, 1985 after Meniar Hernan decided that he did not want to be reminded of the old government.
Corporate Power
Meniar Hernan bought several shares in huge multinational companies using the state coffers. He was soon on the Board of many companies. The nation of Lush Green Fields was soon a sort of corporate HQ for Meniar Hernan's own company Terian, a huge company with interests in agricultural products among others.
